As secrets unfold, their masked identity ignites a thrilling game of power, love and deception. Will they both lose everything or find true love behind their masks?

"She stopped me from coming to the wedding!" "It's because she loved you and did not want me to marry you." "Do you think I'll trust you again? You liar!" He bellowed but he had believed her.

Have you ever wondered if there are things out there unknown? Why, if someone you loved is the target of those unknown things. How can you protect someone when you yourself have doubts about your strength? Rika is stuck between a battle that has gone on far too long. Can she muster up the will to make sure she shuts it down on behalf of the one she swore to protect?. What secrets hidden from her?.

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.

What will you do when some words spread in front of your eyes like a hologram, referred to as the system? What will you do when you realise you transmigrated into another world and possessed a body that wasn't originally yours? Will you try to be delusional hero or realistic scumbag in a world that obviously isn't as safe if you are avid novel reader? -------------------------------------------------------- About the novel: Just a bored person, who wants to make a story without caring too much about quality(or else perfectionism sucks up all the fun I have writing this). ·Not a native speaker, so excuse me for my less than desired English.

Just simple story.

Rika adalah seorang gadis di Sekolah Penyihir Falleyan, sekolah bergengsi yang melatih siswa dengan kekuatan luar biasa. Di dunia tempat Rika tinggal, kekuatan ‘Bunga Kutukan’ adalah kemampuan unik yang diwariskan melalui garis keturunan. Seseorang bisa mendapatkan kekuatan ini dengan cara yang sangat alami: warisan genetik. Setiap keluarga yang memiliki ikatan dengan bunga kutukan tertentu bisa melahirkan keturunan yang mewarisi kemampuan kutukan bunga tersebut, yang muncul seiring pertumbuhan dan latihan, tanpa perlu ritual atau kejadian mistis. Namun, Rika terlahir tanpa kekuatan ‘Bunga Kutukan’. Tidak seperti teman-temannya, ia hanya mengandalkan kekuatan fisik dan keuletan yang luar biasa. Meski sering dipandang sebelah mata oleh sebagian besar siswa dan guru, keunikannya membuatnya sedikit populer di antara para siswa, terutama karena kepribadiannya yang bersemangat dan keberanian yang tak tergoyahkan. Rika mungkin tidak memiliki ‘Bunga Kutukan’, tetapi tekadnya untuk membawa perubahan tetap kuat. Namun, bisakah seseorang yang tidak memiliki kutukan benar-benar membuat dunia menjadi lebih baik? Tentu saja, jalan yang harus ditempuh Rika tidak akan mudah...

'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

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.

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." Caspian delicately grazed Davina's cheeks with the back of his hand. "Are you really a man?" ***** With a bounty on her head and the need for a place to stay, Davina snuck into the castle of Lendorr, posing as a man in the royal army.

She is tasked with being one of his guards all while trying to avoid getting caught by the man who made it his life's mission to ruin her plan.
