Mystic Poem

Ava has always lived in the shadows quiet, unnoticed, and untouched. Her life as an omega in the powerful Mystic Shadow Pack is ruled by fear, survival, and a haunting past that refuses to let her go. She’s sworn to stay out of trouble, blend in, and never attract attention especially not from dominant, dangerous Alphas. But all that changes the night she meets Ian Dawson. Ian is the future Alpha ruthless, feared, and heartbreakingly gorgeous. He doesn’t do love. He doesn’t do second chances. And he never plays by the rules. Yet the moment his lips meet Ava’s, something shifts. In him. In her. In the matebond they never expected. What starts as a stolen kiss in the dark spirals into something uncontrollable. He thinks she’s just another girl for the night. She fears he’s the storm that will shatter her world. But fate has its own plans. Now, Ava must choose between protecting her heart… or surrendering it completely to a mate who may never be capable of love.

The ruler of the Mystic Mountain Kingdom. Merryn’s appearance in Giovanni’s life upset a few well-laid plans for his future. And so began a path of mutual discovery and perils they couldn’t begin to imagine. What will she do when she finds herself in the cave of wolves? ^~*~^ This tale is for those 18 or older.

In the coastal quiet of Baler, a studio is born—not of architecture, but of intention.* Founded by Yam, a poet whose words cradle pain gently, and Franc, an artist who paints tenderness into walls, the studio becomes a refuge for those learning to stay—with grief, love, longing, and themselves. As visitors arrive, they leave behind more than footprints: a sigh recorded in bamboo, a poem tucked into the “Found Letters” shelf, a mural painted in crooked lines. Through zines, tea, silence, and sketchbooks, the studio teaches softness as revolution. Ren creates the *Window of Soft Returns*, an installation of anonymous voice recordings—each whisper forming a community of echoes. Drew builds the *Staircase With No Wrong Turns*, inviting people to walk through emotions without shame. Franc offers brushstrokes as brave work, and Yam curates writing circles that map healing in half sentences. Together, they host festivals that feel like hugs, and they begin traveling their archive, letting softness cross oceans. Even those who once left—like Miguel—return, discovering that some doors never truly close. Others, like Tala, capture the studio’s sound and turn it into a podcast of breath and becoming. Over seventy chapters, the studio transforms into something larger than itself: a mural of memory, a sanctuary for second chances, a place where return is sacred and voice is proof of survival. In the final bloom, the studio stands not as a monument—but as a reminder: > *“Staying isn’t easy. > But chosen together, > it becomes home.”*

Betrayed. Broken. Hunted. Maera was once the Luna of a powerful Alpha—until the mate she trusted led her into a brutal ambush that cost her everything. Left for dead, betrayed by blood and bond, she rises from the ashes of her former life and flees across hostile lands, chased by death and haunted by pain. She stumbles into the forbidden territory of Vargthorn—a kingdom ruled not by one, but three Lycan Kings. Cold-eyes Korran, fiercely loyal Zarek, and the mystic Fenrik have carved out a world untouched by outsiders. And yet, something in Maera calls to them… and something in them answers. Taken in as a maid, Maera hides her scars behind obedience—until desire burns, and fate refuses to be silenced. But love is not the only thing awakening. Maera carries a legacy hidden in her blood—one tied to a prophecy the Lycan Kings were born to fulfil. Their bond could be the key to ending an ancient curse… or the spark that triggers a new war. As enemies close in and a dark queen rises, Maera must face her past, embrace her power, and choose whether to let vengeance consume her—or become the Luna the realm has waited for.

“ There's no way we're going to accept you as our mate! You're too weak and you don't fit to be the future Luna of Mystic pack! This pack deserves someone better! Someone who is stronger than you.” “ A mate is a gift from the moon goddess…” Amelia believed the narrative that was passed from generation to generation. Until it was her turn to receive the gift. ____ Amelia’s world turned upside down when she found out that she was mated to the alpha twins. They rejected her right away, claiming she was too weak. She accepted the rejection since she had no choice, watching the twins’ as they chose whom they wanted to be mated to, Sarah and Lola. However, during the marking ceremony, the pack was attacked and  something unusual happened. Amelia screamed when her mother was about to be taken away as a slave. The clear sky turned dark and thunder struck. A luminous light surrounded her and everyone was shocked. Desperate to save her mother, she used the energy surrounding her to attack the  warriors who were holding her mother captive. The attackers were afraid, watching in horror as the butchered bodies dropped dead. They retrieved, afraid for their lives. “ THE CHOSEN!” A prophetess said… What will the alpha twins do? Will they continue with the marking ceremony?

Jade was found in the aftermath of a rogue attack and taken in by a nearby pack as a servant. She is told that her parents were likely some of the rogues, and as such she is treated as worse than worthless her whole life. One day, she snaps and has enough of her treatment, earning herself a death sentence. When a mysterious stranger rescues her and claims to be her mate, Jade realizes that her past may not be as simple and vague as she was led to believe. Elliott is the alpha of Silver Moon, one of the most successful and wealthy packs in the country. He's tough, smart, and lethal if someone he loves is in danger. When he sees a girl in danger during a visit to River Bed pack, he steps in and saves her. When he finds out the girl is his mate, and that she is sentenced to die in a few days, he takes drastic action to get her away from her evil pack and to the safety of his lands. But when he gets his mate home, he finds that they have more history than he thought: Jade is none other than the fallen alpha of Mystic Moon's daughter. But when both Elliott and Jade have no memory of the specifics of the attack, they realize a greater plot may be at foot here, and Elliott is--for the first time in his life-- left wondering if he alone is strong enough to face it.

"Kali, what have you seen?" The other warriors crowded around Kali and I. They were craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the captive. They had never seen such a being before.
