Tiya Rayne

The night she met him, the moon bled red. Rain lashed against the tall glass windows of the nightclub, turning the city into a kaleidoscope of light and shadow. Inside Vein, the air throbbed with music, sweat, and secrets. And in the darkest corner of the VIP lounge, he waited—like a curse, like a god, like a man with too much hunger and not enough soul left to be saved. Elara Voss didn’t believe in fate. But fate had always believed in her. She was born with a mark, a black crescent curled under her ribs, burning every full moon with pain and longing she couldn’t explain. She lived her life chasing silence, avoiding the voices that weren’t hers and the dreams that belonged to someone else. Until tonight. Until she locked eyes with Kade Strathmore. CEO by day. Alpha of the most dangerous werewolf syndicate in North America by night. Cursed. Marked. Moonbound. And she? She was the key to breaking him. Or dooming them both.

Jason sank to his knees as smoke swallowed the sky, the color of it an angry crimson, like the world itself was bleeding. The house before him, her house, collapsed in slow motion, boards shrieking and crumbling as if mourning their own destruction. His chest caved with a ragged sob, the kind that seemed to come from somewhere deeper than his lungs, deeper even than his body. Everything around him blurred—faces, sirens, flames—until all that remained was the ash. He should have looked away. Should have closed his eyes. But he didn't. He couldn't. The paramedics moved solemnly through the smoke, their silhouettes stark against the firelit haze. The stretchers were draped in white sheets—too still, too final. He counted them without meaning to. One... two... three. Jason didn't flinch. His heart was hollowed out, like something had been carved from within him with a hot blade. It should've been him. Not Selena. "No," he whispered hoarsely, his voice splintering. "No, it can't be." He stumbled backward, eyes wide, brain refusing to bridge the gap between what he saw and what he believed. Reality came in slow waves, each one more unbearable than the last. And then he was moving, sprinting toward the stretchers with a desperate, raw urgency. A rescuer with no one left to save. "Selena," he choked, reaching trembling hands toward the nearest form. The heat of the fire still lingered in the air, as if the world itself was scorched. He lifted the sheet with shaking fingers. What stared back at him was no longer her face—just blackened skin, unrecognizable. His mind rejected it. It can't be her. It isn't.

But when Kael rejects his inheritance, he unknowingly sets off a chain of events that will force him to confront the truth about his family, the war, and the system they all serve. As secrets unravel and hidden agendas surface, Kael finds himself caught between loyalty, rebellion, and a friendship with Rayne Vexis—an outsider whose past is just as tangled in the ruins of power. They only wanted to escape. Instead, they uncovered a truth that could ignite a revolution. Bloodlines will be tested. Empires will fall. And stars once ruined… may never shine again.

At twenty-four, Queen Layla Thorne never wanted the throne that claimed her parents' lives.

When mysterious Rayne enters her world, hiding secrets that could either save her kingdom or destroy it, Layla must choose between the safety of her throne and the dangerous pull of a connection that threatens everything she's been taught to believe. In a realm where political alliances shift like shadows and power comes at the ultimate price, some bonds can only be forged in darkness. Will she embrace the shadows that call to her, or will the weight of the crown crush what remains of her soul? BOUND BY SHADOW - where political intrigue meets forbidden romance, and some destinies can only be claimed in darkness.

The world has already fallen. Beneath the merciless Skyroot Dome, forgotten whispers twist reality. Rayne, one of the remaining few humans, inherits a curse he never asked for—an evolving power that devours more of his soul with every kill. In the shadows of the colossal, strength has a price. It always collects it’s due. At the story’s edge begins a quiet storm: A world dies. A boy survives. And the Spire awaits. *Not a system Novel X - @DaemonsVrdt

Dear Diary, Today is Sunday, January 7th of what would have been the Year 1001 AR. Now, it's Year 1 of the New World... The world I knew came to an end a week ago. It gave me something, but it took away things from me that I will never get again. There's this hollowness in my heart that will never go away. My parents are gone. Grandmother, Uncle, Aunt Sarah, Aunt Gina, Alan, and my other cousins are gone. Only Remus, Felix, and his little daughter Sylvia survived that day at the Manor... I buried my family with my hands today. Old Remus waited for me to wake up. The Manor is clean too... but it is desolate. I don't know what I would have done without him... It's a strange world now. Very strange. I can hear terrifying monsters screaming in the distance, roaming on the estate, in the woods, searching for the Aeons to devour... Internet and cellular networks are gone, but satellites are accessible. However, what I have found on the satellite feed is terrifying, to say the least. I am still trying to wrap my head around the new reality... We still have electricity, but that's only because the estate has its own source. Most of the world is without it, and the survivors around the globe are engaged in a constant struggle of life and death right now... Why did this all happen? How did this all happen? Is this all a dream? I don't have any answers right now, but I will find them. I must find them. Maybe I will write to you again tomorrow. Maybe I will never touch you again. I don't have the heart to keep writing to you... It's just too painful... Yours truly, Amon Elvius Octavius Rayne

Quem é você? Acordei de sobressalto, desorientada e com dores pelo corpo todo. Um corpo masculino pesado estava ao meu lado --- ambos estávamos nus, exceto pelo lençol que cobria nossos corpos. Eu procurava em minhas memórias pela noite anterior, tentando entender como havia parado aqui enquanto tentava enrolar o lençol em meu corpo. Parei quando percebi que deixaria meu parceiro de cama totalmente nu. Eu me recordava de ter dito repetidamente: 'Sou sua companheira!' Com cuidado, saí da cama para procurar roupas. Tentei ser tão silenciosa quanto possível para não acordar o estranho. Seu cheiro estava impregnado em mim, em tudo na verdade. Rico e masculino, cada vez que eu respirava, sentia como se estivesse sendo envolvida pela floresta, com toques de madeira e uma especiaria quente que eu não conseguia identificar. Eu queria voltar para a cama ao lado dele e nunca mais sair. Minha loba, Rayne, resmungava em minha mente: 'Não deveríamos partir! Ele é o nosso companheiro!'

Saya berhenti ketika saya menyadari bahwa saya akan meninggalkan pasangan tidur saya telanjang total. Saya mengingat diri saya berkata berulang kali, "Aku pasanganmu!" Saya perlahan-lahan turun dari tempat tidur untuk mencari pakaian. Saya mencoba sebisanya agar tidak membangunkan orang asing itu. Aromanya menyelimuti saya, menyelimuti segala sesuatu sebenarnya. Kaya dan maskulin, setiap kali saya bernapas saya merasa seakan sedang dikelilingi oleh hutan dengan sentuhan kayu dan rempah hangat yang tidak bisa saya namai. Saya ingin merangkak kembali ke tempat tidur di sampingnya dan tidak pernah pergi. Serigala saya, Rayne, bergumam di kepala saya, "Kita tidak seharusnya pergi! Dia adalah pasangan kita!"
