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.

Pony
Cora and Penelope walked out to the east lawn after breakfast. The green against the gray reminded Cora of when they had driven through Kansas on vacation one misty summer morning.
Kansas had the greenest meadows she had ever seen. They looked so healthy and happy, and they were dotted with grazing black and white cows that were barely visible through the gray haze. What she wouldn't give to see a cow right here living in Gray Vale, dotting the boring gray backdrop with its lazy, happy life.
"I want a cow," she sighed, sitting down on the hill that overlooked the sloping land below.
"It used to be that you wanted a pony," Penelope chuckled and sat next to her.
"I never wanted a pony," Cora scoffed. "What makes you think that?"
"Isn't that what most little girls want?" Her mom asked, following her daughter's gaze.
Cora shrugged, chuckling in the echo of her mom's laughter. "I don't remember wanting that."
