A story of two homeless teenagers in search of a home, and a man who has lost his family a long time ago. ***** In a war-torn country where domestic terrorism runs rampant and soldiers patrol the streets, Josh and Alex, two unfortunate alpha boys, try to get by living in an abandoned store with the kind homeless community, dreaming of a home of their own. Then a stranger joins their little grocery store community, a stranger with a mission, and soon Josh wants to join the fight to save their country, so he could finally give his little brother a good life. But is he fighting for the right side...? Everyone else is against his mission. Innocent people are getting hurt. Trouble follows him every step of the way, and soon, the enemy and the consequences of his actions catches up with him. But perhaps this is their chance to turn their life around... ...If there is someone patient enough to gain their trust. That someone could be this kind and gentle older alpha, who may even find out he still has a lot of love to give - if he's finally ready to let go of his old promise to never love again.

They say you only fall in love once. For Ody and Mano, that once changed everything. In a world where love isn't always safe, and pain comes hand-in-hand with desire, two straight boys find each other in the middle of grief, trauma, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen... and losing someone again would ruin him. Ody can't help but care. Bright, extroverted, charming and painfully sincere, he's the kind of boy who notices when you're hurting... even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. Sparks fly, but so do secrets, buried trauma, and a love neither of them is ready for. One of them hides behind silence. The other hides behind smiles. Together, they're wildfire. But not all fires survive the storm. The forbidden love between a broken boy and a lost one - a bond that refuses to break, even as the world tries to tear them apart. 🖤New chapter every Friday🖤 !
