Nova is unraveling quietly. Archer is self-destructing loudly. On the surface, their vices look nothing alike-hers measured in calories and empty plates, his in nameless bodies and unmade beds. But beneath the rituals, the secrecy, the shame, they are driven by the same relentless hunger. Control. Nova's eating disorder is not about food. It is about silence. About shrinking herself small enough that nothing can touch her, hurt her, or leave her. Each skipped meal is a promise that she is stronger than her cravings, stronger than her chaos. If she can master her body, she believes she can master the world. Archer's addiction is not about pleasure. It is about power. About proving he is wanted before anyone has the chance to walk away. Every encounter is a distraction, every conquest a temporary anesthetic. If he stays in motion-if he never lets himself feel too much-then nothing can own him. In the spiral of her disorder and his addiction, they mirror one another: two people mistaking self-destruction for discipline. Two people confusing control with safety. But control is a fragile illusion. The tighter Nova grips, the more her body begins to rebel. The harder Archer chases control, the more it slips through his fingers. How far will they go to maintain the identities they've built around their pain? How much are they willing to lose in the name of feeling powerful? Because sometimes the only way to break the cycle is to break entirely. And before either of them can rise, one of them will have to fall.

"Sweetheart, why are you out here in the middle of the night?" Her eyes found his before quickly glancing away. She mumbled something he couldn't hear. He leaned down, placing his face in front of hers to meet her eyes, raising his eyebrow for her to repeat herself. "I was running away." ~~~ After helping her out for one night, Alex couldn't seem to forget about her but he didn't think he'd see her again until she showed up at his school. She made him do things he never thought he'd do, feel things he never thought he'd feel. She made him want to protect her at all cost. She made him go soft, but only just for her.

He looks like he might close the space between us. He looks like he wants to. My brain supplies a dozen sane exits. My body refuses every one. He looks as if he might kiss me. So I do something- exactly the kind of crazy I'm proud of but later I regret. I bite him right on the shoulder. He's in a tank, and my teeth definitely sink in. "What the hell?" he jerks back with a sharp laugh, stumbling slightly. "Did you just bite me?" "I panicked!" I defend, a little too quickly. "You don't have to mark me when I'm already yours, Swan." he says. Excuse me? "What!?" I blink, nearly tripping over my own foot. "What did you just say?" He shrugs, all cool and composed, "I'm already yours." he repeats, like it's nothing. Like it's not the verbal equivalent of a punch to the stomach and a kiss to the soul. My jaw drops. "Are you- are you okay?" "Perfectly," he says, then taps his shoulder.

Struggling to sell a single painting and drowning in student debt, Marisol Reyes, a fiercely independent but lonely artist in modern-day Chicago, is just about ready to give up on her dreams. When a mysterious storm crashes through her studio, she's pulled-brushes and all-into a world of primal beauty, where men can transform at will to different animals, cities are carved from stone and bone, and technology is nothing more than a fantasy. In this untamed realm centered around women and powered by instinct, Marisol finds herself at the center of the beastmen tribes. With no phone, no way home, and no clue how to survive in a matriarchal society where women must take multiple male consorts to stay protected, Marisol must quickly adapt-or risk becoming prey. Thrust into the spotlight, she must navigate between aggressive females, obsessive men, and unexpected desire. Armed with nothing but her creativity, courage, and the heart she wears on her sleeve, Marisol begins to uncover her place in this wild world. Maybe she doesn't need to return home after all... maybe she was meant to paint a new life here.
