Highlander Heather

The Lost Moon of silver

"Please, I have to go home." That's what I told the man in front of me. I begged him to let me go, but in my heart, I pray he never will.  How crazy is that? How can I feel safer with a stranger I've just met than the man who was supposed to love me until death? Why does he look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world? Does he see the bruises? Is that why he's doing this? I should've never left the house, but I couldn't let him win. Not this time, but I hadn't counted on this. "He'll never hurt you again." I want to believe those words, but I don't know if I can. What if I'm going crazy? What if it's all a dream, and I wake up in the nightmare that's my life? I shouldn't trust him, but gods, why does his voice affect me like this? Why does he smell like lightning storms and heather? "Nefretiri? Do you know what a mate is?" No, he didn't just say that! Life isn't supposed to be this dark. That's what Nefretiri Jordans believed until her world came crumbling down. Her marriage was now a game of slave and master, and she would never win. Not when her husband was cruel enough to bring his mistresses to the house and act like Nefra was nothing more than a servant. She wants to run, but she can't. He'll never let her go, especially not with their new daughter. So, she has no choice but to live in hell and do her best to stay sane. Unfortunately, that line of sanity suddenly breaks when Ricky goes too far, and Nefra makes a stupid choice. After all, it's just a cake. Who cared about that?  Fate has a cruel sense of humor, and Nefra quickly learns that nothing is by chance. So, what started as a painful but necessary trip to the store turned into an unexpected adventure.  After all, she never put mate on her shopping list. Not that it mattered to Ivan. The Alpha of the Sebryanny Kinzhal pack from Colorado who's slowly coming back from a year of hell. All he wanted was to find peace and figure out what he was supposed to do with his life. The moon goddess had an answer, and she set him up to find the one thing he needed to be saved.  So, when Nefra crashed into his truck and he saw her, Ivan knew she was his destiny. Unfortunately for him, she's not on board and seems to belong to someone else. If Ivan wants Nefretiri to be his, he'll need to do more than earn her trust. Dark secrets are waiting to devour both of them, and more than one enemy is watching in the shadows to claim what both unknowingly hold.  Somehow, they must get past their pain to find each other and build something neither believed was possible again. Finally, it's time to put the cards on the table and bet it all. If they win, their lives will be more than either of them could ever dream, but if they lose, the darkness will destroy more than one life.

Driven by curiosity and a faint hope for something better, Zayne steps through the portal. In an instant, he is pulled into an incomprehensible dimension. When he regains consciousness, he finds himself in a world made entirely of cubes. The sky is pixelated, the trees are symmetrical, and the ground feels like a simulated reality.

A greater force is at play, manipulating events from the shadows. Now, Zayne must not only fight for survival but also unravel the secrets of this world and confront the entity that controls it all. Can he find a way back? Or will he become a permanent part of this pixelated reality?

Beast of Aetheria

In the vibrant, untamed world of Aetheria, humans and Beasts share an intricate bond, their lives interwoven through the mystical energy of Aether Cores and Crystals. Beasts thrive in diverse ecosystems—serene grasslands, dense jungles, stormy highlands—drawing power from their surroundings, while humans harness Aether's elemental force through advanced runic technology and emotional connections with their Beast companions. Yet, this delicate harmony teeters on the brink of collapse, as whispers of ancient conflicts and a resurgence of corrupted Aether energy threaten to disrupt the balance. Eighteen-year-old Kael, a determined explorer with an innate empathy for Beasts, embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind his father’s mysterious disappearance. A renowned researcher, Kael's father vanished while investigating ancient ruins shrouded in mystery. Armed with his father’s journal, maps crafted by his cartographer mother, and the unwavering support of his loyal Beast Flarion (fire), Kael ventures into the uncharted wilds of Aetheria, determined to solve the mysteries of the past. Kael’s journey leads him to new companions: Lyra, an analytical and compassionate researcher devoted to preserving Aetheria's ecosystems, and Dax, a bold and competitive Beast tamer eager to prove himself worthy of his family’s legendary legacy. Together, the trio faces breathtaking challenges, from encountering rival tamers who seek to exploit Aether for personal gain to navigating a fractured world where Beasts and humans alike suffer from the effects of corrupted Aether energy. As they explore the ruins of a forgotten civilization, Kael and his team uncover a startling truth: an enigmatic figure from Aetheria's history is harnessing corrupted Aether energy to resurrect the devastation of an ancient war. To counter this growing threat, the group must strengthen their bonds with their Beasts, master the delicate art of resonance, and unlock hidden evolutionary paths powered by trust and emotional synergy. Guided by Aria, a skilled strategist with a wealth of knowledge about Aetheria's intricate ecosystems and Beasts, the group learns to confront the world’s challenges head-on. But Aria harbors a secret of her own—one that could alter the group's dynamic forever. In a race against time, Kael, Lyra, and Dax must forge unshakable bonds, uncover the mysteries of the past, and find the strength to stand against the rising tide of corruption. As the final battle looms, one question echoes through their journey: will unity and resilience be enough to restore balance to Aetheria, or will the resurgence of darkness unravel everything they hold dear?
