Taryn was the girl everyone admired—smart, athletic, driven. To the outside world, she was untouchable. But behind closed doors, her life was far from perfect. Her parents' divorce left her stranded in the tense, judgmental atmosphere of her grandparents' house, where no achievement ever seemed to be enough. They were all too busy—too lost in their own wounds and distractions—to notice that Taryn wasn’t just strong. She was hurting. She needed love, care… and no one was paying attention. Then daylight savings began, and everything changed. A burst of unimaginable energy swept across the world, awakening elemental powers in humanity. Fire, wind, light, shadows—all at the fingertips of everyday people. But Taryn’s ability was something else entirely. She wasn’t just another elemental wielder; she was an Aether. The rarest and most powerful of all, her gift was tied to the very essence of the world, capable of uniting or destroying everything around her. As the world fell into chaos—raging storms, burning cities, people struggling to control powers they never asked for—Taryn found herself standing at the center of it all. With her family also grappling with their new abilities, old wounds reopened and new tensions flared. The fragile connections they shared were tested like never before. Now, Taryn must figure out not just how to master her powers, but how to heal the cracks in her family and herself. In a world teetering on the edge, can she rise above the judgment and pain that’s always weighed her down, or will her power become the very thing that breaks her? The world demands balance. Taryn might be the only one who can bring it—but it will take everything she has.

Lilac has lived a life of suffering. From being forced to disguise himself as a girl to survive, to being labeled cursed after failing to awaken his heavenly gifts that everyone else could, he is shunned by all. To add salt to his wound, before he turns 18, his father vanishes, and his uncle seizes the throne that should've rightfully been Lilac's as the eldest son. Before Lilac could successfully flee, he is caught and traded to the monsters beyond the kingdom—beasts so feared that no one who sees them returns. But instead of death, Lilac is claimed by Sloan. Born cursed, Sloan is a prince of the Enwulves, an extinct hybrid wolf species. Even though he is a prince, he has lived life as an outcast due to his curse that causes him to forcibly transform every full moon, thus losing his humanity. His life has been mapped out for him, but when he finds Lilac—battered, freezing, and terrified—something shifts. For the first time, his rage stills. It was just a glimpse, a scent, a tiny whimper of fright. And that was it. Humans are meant to be slaves. Enwulves are forbidden from claiming them. Keeping Lilac means war. But Sloan has never followed rules, and Lilac has never belonged—until now. ~~~ | ~~~ “Are you afraid of me, little human?” Sloan husked out, cold lips grazing my bleeding fingers before his lips parted slightly to release hot breath over them. I trembled, rooted in the spot with fright and unable to breathe. Was this a trick question? Of course I’m afraid of him! Everyone is! Who wouldn’t be? Slaves are never supposed to be in his presence, except they suddenly desire a quick demise. Am I supposed to respond honestly or lie? When cold lips closed around my finger, I gasped in shock, a rush of fright and dread engulfing me. He was gonna bite off my finger right now, wasn’t he? Just because my stupid brain couldn’t come up with a response? The rumors said he was a heartless psychopath, but I didn’t think it was actually true! However, a hot tongue swiped over my fingertips and I sucked in a sharp breath, exhaling shakily while my chest expanded and my brain tried to figure out what was happening, and why my fingers weren't bitten off yet— or why I’m still breathing in his presence. Next, cold, long fingers wrapped around my wrist and my hand was being tugged upward, then a nose was digging into my pulse point, and I almost fainted when cold lips dragged over the sensitive skin there. The sound of a deep inhale filled up my ear next. “Fuck. You smell so good.” Oh heavens. This was worse than I thought. Instead of killing me, was he planning to… eat me… literally???! What the fuck? *** R18+! Cover not mine!
