Liar Mask Rika Mayama

I stared across the clearing into the piercing golden eyes of the wolf that I had seen a thousand times before. However, despite seeing her over and over again, I had never once seen her face to face. While I was running, I kept repeating a word in my head. The same word over and over again. “Mate! Mate! Mate! Mate!” I thought at first that it was me saying it, but it wasn’t my voice, not exactly. It was close to my voice, but not a perfect match. “Is that you?” I asked myself as I ran deep into the forest. I wasn’t going to be able to hold out for much longer. “Is that really you?” I sobbed in relief.. Rika is nineteen and has a secret that she has been keeping from her family. She is a wolf shifter in the most famous and well-known pack in the world. She is daughter to Trinity and Reece Gray, the King and Queen of all the shifter and magic users in the world, and yet, Rika is losing touch with her wolf more and more each day. Not only that, but she can feel her slipping away from her inch by inch, and fears that she might lose her altogether. On top of feeling as if one day very soon she might never be able to shift again, Rika and her twin brother Reagan have been given a very complicated task. They must help foster the peace between the humans and non-humans of the world now that the veil of secrecy has been removed. The world knows now that the creatures that go bump in the night, vampires, werewolves, witches, Fae, werebears, and more, oh my, are all real. Not all of those people who now know the truth are all that happy about it. Foster a positive relationship with the humans, sure thing. Find the group of people responsible for supposed monster bashings, no problem. Navigate life while also trying to find their own mates. Now that might be a problem. On top of all the other things on their plate, Rika, Reagan, and all the other children of the fabled legacies must learn how to be themselves in a world that will never be the same again. Love and lust, anger and rage, happiness and confusion, emotions will be all over the place as the Chosen Legacy fight for all mankind, human and not. “Rika, you need to tell someone about this. You need to tell them what is going on.” Reagan was glaring at me as I fought that empty feeling inside of me. “I can’t, Reagan. You don’t get it. You don’t know what it’s like to lose that part of you.” “You’re right, I don’t, but it will never get better if you don’t try to do something about it.” His anger made his eyes flash bright blue in the darkness of the night. The way that they were shining, I could tell that it wasn’t just the reflection of the moon, this was his power, this was the essence that was my brother. “Leave me alone.” I snapped as I ran away from him. I was fighting against my tears, holding them back so that he wouldn’t see how much this was hurting me. Not only that, but I couldn’t let him see that it was too late, that my wolf was already gone. Chosen Legacy is a story that has a little bit of everything. It is a coming of age story, where multiple legacies, Rika included, matures emotionally and mentally while learning to navigate the ever-changing world. It is a mystery and suspense as the twins, along with their group of friends, search for the group that has been attacking innocent people around their campus. And it is a hot and steamy romance where each of the legacies will find their one true love to last a lifetime. Who and what does fate have in store for these legacies, and what adventures will they have along the way? This story will change the POV so that it will focus on multiple characters. The character name will be in the chapter title and at the top of the chapter. This is a massive story that will encompass many mating between different characters and a lot of the cast from the book 'Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha'. It is a stand-alone book. However, you do not need to have read the original to follow along.

Tension brewed amongst the vampire clan and the Blue moon pack. A way to solve it? Arranged marriage! Arranged marriage between Mason and Elle; childhood friends, may work out right?

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

Dragnelle Étoile is no stranger to secrets. A sharp-witted private investigator with a shadowed past, she navigates life with a limp, a cane adorned with a beast’s head, and a determination as unyielding as the pain in her leg. When Mickaël Rakoto, a man she hasn’t seen in decades, steps back into her life with a desperate plea, she is thrust into a world she thought she’d left behind—a world of wealth, power, and dangerous family secrets. Mickaël’s sister-in-law, Myrha Rakoto, has died under mysterious circumstances while climbing. Officially ruled as an accident, her death doesn’t sit well with Mickaël, who suspects foul play. But in a city where his wife’s powerful family—the Rakoto shipping dynasty—controls everything from the local police to the narrative of Myrha’s death, Mickaël needs someone fearless enough to uncover the truth. Dragnelle takes the case, but each clue she uncovers pulls her deeper into the Rakoto family’s web of lies, privilege, and betrayal. As she pieces together the circumstances of Myrha’s death, Dragnelle must confront ghosts from her own past, including her complicated history with Mickaël. With her sharp mind and sharper tongue, she maneuvers through bribes, betrayals, and old memories, searching for answers no one wants found. Set against the vibrant streets of Antananarivo and the shadowy world of high society, this is a gripping tale of ambition, justice, and the price of uncovering the truth. Secrets, after all, always have a way of coming to light—even when buried at the top of the climb.

Lucinda Perry, seorang penyendiri sosial dan pekerja keras, berjanji pada dirinya sendiri untuk benar-benar menggila di ulang tahunnya yang ke-25 dan bahkan mencetak one night stand jika ia mendapatkan promosi yang sudah lama ditunggu di pekerjaannya. Beberapa hari sebelum ulang tahunnya yang ke-25, dia dipromosikan ke posisi yang lebih tinggi dan tidak hanya itu, tapi ke kantor pusat di kota yang berbeda. Harus menghabiskan malam ulang tahunnya di kota baru, dia pergi ke klub di mana dia bertemu dengan orang asing tampan, Thomas Hank, yang menawarkan diri untuk menjadi one night stand-nya setelah melihat daftar berani-melakukannya, yang termasuk memiliki satu malam berdiri. Thomas Hank, setelah digunakan oleh beberapa wanita di masa lalu, bertekad untuk mendapatkan wanita impiannya yang akan mencintainya untuk dirinya sendiri dan bukan karena kekayaannya. Jadi ketika dia bertemu Lucinda Perry yang imut dan polos di klub, dia memutuskan untuk menjaga identitas aslinya dari dia dan mencari tahu apakah dia layak untuk dia pertahankan. ***Excerpt*** Apa yang lebih menghibur daripada sisi karakter yang gila? Katakan halo pada Sonia dan Bryan. Jantung Sonia berhenti berdetak sebentar, lalu berbagai pemikiran mulai berterbangan di kepalanya pada saat yang sama. Bryan Hank? Idola selebriti yang dia naksir sedang berlutut tepat di depannya dan memintanya untuk menjadi istrinya? Apakah dia salah mengira dia dengan orang lain? Apakah mungkin ini adalah lelucon, atau mungkin ini seperti salah satu lelucon selebriti dan ada kamera-kamera di sekitar, menunggu untuk merekam dia membuat dirinya tampak bodoh? Atau mungkin dia sedang bermimpi? Sonia bertanya-tanya sambil melihat-lihat sekitar mereka, tetapi yang dia lihat hanyalah penonton yang penasaran. "Tolong! Jadilah istriku dan buat aku menjadi pria paling bahagia di Bumi," katanya dengan suara keras yang menarik perhatian semua orang. Editornya yang telah ditunggunya selama lebih dari satu jam karena dia mencoba menandatangani kesepakatan dengan produser film yang tertarik dengan salah satu ceritanya, muncul saat itu juga, "Sonia, kamu kenal Bryan Hank?" Tanyanya dengan heran saat melihat adegan di depannya. Sepertinya sudah berjam-jam sejak Bryan berlutut, tapi ternyata baru satu menit. Bryan tahu tidak ada wanita yang cukup gila untuk menerima proposal gila seperti itu, dan bahkan jika ada yang mau menerima, membayarnya dan membatalkan keseluruhan hal tersebut akan mudah karena yang dia inginkan hanyalah skandal yang bisa terjadi dari situ. Judul beritanya mendatang akan tentang proposal pernikahan yang ditolak atau pertunangannya yang dikatakan, yang cukup membuat Sophia lepas dari kaitannya. "Ya!" Jawab Sonia dengan semangat sambil menganggukkan kepalanya dan mengulurkan jarinya agar dia memakaikan cincin pertunangan. "Ya?" Tanya Bryan dengan bingung saat mendengar jawabannya. "Ya! Aku akan menjadi istrimu dan membuatmu menjadi pria paling bahagia di dunia!" Sonia berkata dengan tertawa dan menggerakkan jarinya hingga Bryan memasukkan cincin itu ke jarinya. Secara mengejutkan cincin itu adalah ukuran yang tepat untuknya, dan duduk di jarinya seolah-olah dibuat khusus untuknya. Suara tepuk tangan meledak di sekitar mereka saat Sonia berdiri dengan senyum lebar di wajahnya dan memeluk Bryan sebelum menciumnya tepat di bibir. Bryan sedikit terkejut dengan keberaniannya tapi cepat pulih karena ini adalah permainannya, dan dia harus ikut serta. Dia lah yang mendekatinya terlebih dahulu, bagaimanapun juga. Jadi ketika dia mencoba memutuskan ciuman, dia memegang dagunya dan perlahan menggigit bibir bawahnya sebelum membuka bibirnya dengan lidahnya dan mengisapnya dengan cara yang menggoda, mengeluarkan desahan dari Sonia. Sonia merasa pusing. Ini terlalu bagus untuk menjadi kenyataan. Itu haruslah mimpi. Bagaimana lagi dia bisa menjelaskan bahwa pada suatu saat dia duduk di lobi hotel menunggu editornya, dan pada saat berikutnya dia bertunangan dengan idola selebriti yang dia naksir dan menciumnya di sini di depan umum?

Caspian inched closer until his lips were mere inches away from Davina's, reeling her in to close the nonexistent gap between their mouths. "Have you ever been kissed, Dimitri?" He asked. Before Davina could lose control after Caspian's cold lips lightly grazed hers, she pushed him away and hurriedly stood up. "My Lord, this is highly unethical!" Her real voice nearly slipped out amid the chaos. "What's unethical about this?" Caspian's face lifted to form an innocent yet devilish smile, he seemed to be enjoying the reaction he got out of her. Flustered, Davina turned her back to him and took deep breaths before speaking more composedly. "We are both men and it wasn't ethical of you to try and... kiss me." The last bit came out as a whisper blown away by the wind. Caspian's chuckle echoed through the woods as he stood up from the bench and faced Davina with a smug look on his face. "Tell me, Dimitri, was I really trying to kiss a man just now?" "W-what do you mean?" Davina stumbled backward as she stared at Caspian in shock and disbelief, unsure of what to do to save herself from that situation. "Let me rephrase my question."
