Seven-year-old Aurora has spent most of her life in the foster care system, bouncing from home to home, leaving behind a trail of anger and broken furniture. She fights everyone - other kids, foster parents, even the social workers. But when she's placed for adoption, it's not with another ordinary family. S.H.I.E.L.D. has made their decision: Aurora is now the legal responsibility of Captain America himself. Neither of them wants this. Steve, forced into the situation by S.H.I.E.L.D., is furious about being saddled with a kid he never asked for. Aurora, convinced that no one ever truly stays, refuses to trust him - or anyone. Their first meeting ends in a screaming match, and things only go downhill from there. But as much as they push each other away, neither one is allowed to leave. And when Steve gets a visit from a friend from his past, stuck together, they'll have to figure out if family is something you're born into-or something you fight for.

AJ Lynch is the bane of my existence. He's like a rock in my shoe-small enough to ignore for a little while, but always there, annoying me until I lose my mind. He's the golden boy, the one who gets perfect grades, charms every teacher, and never steps a toe out of line-or so his parents think. Joey and Aoife Lynch's pride and joy, right? Wrong. Because here's the thing: AJ isn't as perfect as everyone thinks he is. He has a secret. A big one. And I, Catherine Biggs, the girl he loves to torment, am the only one who knows it. AJ Lynch is a racer. Yep, that kind of racer-the illegal kind. The kind that sneaks out at night to tear up the streets and put that shiny car of his to work. The golden boy isn't so golden after all, and trust me, I'd love nothing more than to use it against him. Too bad he's too clever for his own good. *** Catherine Biggs. The mean girl of Tommen School. The girl every guy pretends to hate but can't stop looking at. She's the one who gets a kick out of tormenting people, though her favorite targets seem to be boys. Lucky us. If you say anything remotely out of line about her or her little circle of friends, she's on you faster than you can blink. And honestly? She scares most of the lads here. Me? I'm counting down the days until she's out of my life for good. This is our last year, and soon I won't have to see her stupid curly blonde hair, or those blue eyes that are just... too much. I swear, her beauty is all she has going for her. Inside? She's rotten, blacker than black. The kind of girl who smiles while cutting you down. And yet... somehow, she's still in my head. And then there's her boyfriend. Cillian Wilkinson. All charm and dimples, like a walking ad for "Ireland's Most Eligible Teen." Everyone loves him-teachers, parents, even the lads. Except me. I hate the way he puts his arm around her, like she's his and no one else's. Because that's the problem with Catherine Biggs-she's not just in my head. She's under my skin.

Bethany has spent years hiding her feelings for Rory - her best friend's older brother and the one guy she was never supposed to fall for. He's charming, protective, and impossibly handsome... but also totally off limits. Rory always told himself that Beth was just a kid, just his sister's friend. But now that she's grown up, he can't seem to take his eyes off her - or keep his hands to himself. When they finally give in to the pull between them, their relationship becomes something deeper, something real. Passionate, intense, and full of love, Beth and Rory find themselves inseparable. But as their love story heats up, so does the bedroom... and soon, Beth realizes her period is late. One missed period. One life-changing surprise. And a whole lot of growing up to do in just nine months.

This is an Amateur attempt to write a fanfic based off Legacy of Gods Series. All characters belong to Rina Kent and RinaVerse. JerCes Daughter x LanMia Son Aanya's POV: London has always been my sanctuary, where goodness shines despite my father's Bratva ties. Meeting Theodore Sokolov King upends everything. His unsettling charisma and our fathers' rivalry stir turmoil. His recent actions at a Bratva meeting raise questions. What does Theo want, and why disrupt our lives? As I navigate deceit, I must protect my family's honor and legacy, even if it means challenging my own principles. Theo's POV: London is my domain, where power and strategy shape destinies. As the future CEO of King Empires, I thrive on control and ambition, navigating both boardrooms and underworlds with precision. Then I met Aanya Volkov. Aanya embodies everything I've learned to disdain-innocence, kindness, and an unwavering belief in goodness. She challenges my carefully crafted image of darkness concealed behind a gentlemanly facade. Yet, her presence captivates me in ways I cannot ignore. The rivalry between our families, rooted in old grudges between my father Landon and her father Jeremy, only intensifies my fascination with Aanya. My recent maneuvers within the Bratva were calculated to unsettle Jeremy, but Aanya's resilience surprises me. Her defiance fuels my determination to unravel her secrets. I've mastered manipulation, but Aanya remains an enigma-a puzzle I'm driven to solve. She holds the key to a world I've kept at arm's length, where emotions blur the lines between right and wrong. As I tread this treacherous path, I must tread carefully, for Aanya Volkov is more than a mere pawn-she's a force that could either save me or lead to my downfall.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
