THE LAST GRAYMAN  - undefined novels & stories
Toree
In a forgotten rural village in Texas, seventeen year old Fiona Grayman has learned to survive by making herself invisible. Orphaned and trapped with foster parents who treat cruelty like a daily language, she endures while the rest of the community pretends not to see. The daughter of a late FBI detective, Fiona carries a sharp, restless mind that notices every wrong detail, the boot print that doesn’t belong, the car that appears and vanishes, the shift in the air that means danger is already watching. When she crosses paths with Kennedy Maverick, the intense and carefully controlled son of the village’s most powerful family, something dangerous begins to take root. He is everything she has been taught to avoid: wealthy, magnetic, and impossible to read. Yet the more she tries to stay away, the more their lives tangle. Quiet rides turn into charged silences. Glances linger too long. And the careful distance Fiona has always kept starts to crack. Anonymous notes begin appearing. Warnings that know too much. Secrets that refuse to stay buried. Every choice Fiona makes draws her deeper into a web she cannot yet see, while the people who control her life suddenly decide she is no longer worth keeping. Love was never supposed to feel this much like a threat. And by the time Fiona realizes someone has been hunting her all along, it may already be too late to run.

Akindiyo Adurotoluwa
Ayla is a wolf born into a respected pack in Lunaria, a world where your necessity is defined by one thing: the ability to shift and become a wolf. While her siblings transform early and have prospects of becoming enforcers.Ayla remains unchanged, completely human in a society where that is almost unacceptable. Because of this, she is separated from normal wolf training and forced into combat lessons. Within her family, Ayla exists in a quiet state of disconnection. Her parents never acknowledge her, she is just tolerated but never fully accepted. Even in her own home, she feels like an outsider, she could see the silent disappointment in their eyes. Everything begins to shift when Ayla stumbles upon a forbidden encounter in the woods where witches are performing a ritual . There she meets a masked stranger with piercing grey eyes who stops her escape and speaks directly into her mind, warning her to leave. Instead of fear, she feels something– curiosity, and a pull she cannot explain. He disappears, but not from her thoughts. He returns in her dreams. At the same time, her world begins to tighten. Kael, the Beta’s son, enters her life through combat training. What begins as rivalry slowly transforms into reluctant respect as Ayla surprises everyone, including him, by holding her ground despite her limitations. Their dynamic becomes complex. But Kael is not the only force drawing her in. The masked stranger reappears, calling her “Little witch,” a word she rejects but cannot ignore. And above them all stands the Alpha King, whose presence and grey eyes mirror the stranger she cannot forget. As war brews between wolves and witches, Ayla finds herself caught between two worlds and something inside her begins to awaken, quietly threatening to change everything she thought she was.

Someone has spent centuries hiding the truth. And the immortal Hollow King, Malachor, is willing to destroy kingdoms to claim Lyra's heart. Now Lyra must choose between the destiny forced upon her and the future she wants for herself. Because the four men may be willing to give her their hearts... But Lyra refuses to belong to anyone.
