Death by Desire: A Vampire-Lycan Love Story
Cora is unique among the vampires in Gray Vale. She is half fae. She has a beating heart. And she can bring life to the vampires around her, allowing them the ability to die when they desire it rather than being cursed with the same dreadful existence for eternity. Cora’s gift makes available this “death by desire” that is prized in the vampire world. Offering life to vampires is a beautiful gift, but it can also be used as a weapon. And that is what the royal family of vampires wishes to do. With no other choice, she must marry into the royal family for protection from those who are threatened by her ability. But when a “pet” lycan is gifted to her who is her true mate, will she find a way to break off the engagement, threatening her family and everyone else she loves in the process? Can her mate's lycan pack possibly win against the vampires who do not want to part with her? Or will they be forced apart? Published exclusively on Webnovel.

[Bonus chapter] Gia's Monster
She used to have nightmares. She would be running through Suicide Forest, pursued by something she could't see. Every tree looked the same. Every hill looked the same. She could never make any progress in her escape from the monster behind her.
"Gia!" Her parents' voices would be calling her, echoing through the trees. And she would try calling back to them, but her voice always died in the air, falling flat against the ground before it could ever reach them to let them know where she was.
The nightmares started when she was five. Every night for months, she would go to bed and be stuck in the same dream. And every night the unseen monster would get closer and closer until one night, it was only a tail's length away. She could feel it on her heels, and she was sure that when it finally caught her, she would never wake up. She would never see her parents or David or Theo or anyone else ever again.
