"Touch me," "What? Sage, I-" "What are you so afraid of? You've hurt me without a second thought so why's touching me such a difficult task?" ___ Sage always knew his mate would leave him.

But everything changed when the very alpha who promised to make the separation painless, accidentally marked him during his heat, sealing their bond forever. Bound by a mating mark, Sage is now trapped in a loveless union with an alpha who wants out. Can they find a way to escape their fate, or will their bond become a deadly curse that will slowly kill them alive? (Spin off story of Sage and Damien from Hold Me.)

Han Seo-jin is a man with no exceptions. As the chairman of a smart city security and AI conglomerate, he controls surveillance systems, predicts risks before they happen, and trusts logic over emotion. His world is precise, cold, and untouchable-except for his four-year-old son, the only thing he has left after losing his sister in a tragic accident. Yoon Ji-hyun is barely holding on.

And when misunderstandings force them apart, it's the smallest person in the room who decides that love shouldn't be quiet anymore. A BL romance about grief, jealousy, found family, and becoming someone's only exception.

"So," Kalen looked ahead of them, trying to seem nonchalant. "Which one is Steve?" "They're all Steve," Hunter said. "Even the women?" "Yes," Hunter said. "If we start going by their actual names, people are going to get suspicious." "We could just call the women Stevey or something like that," he rolled his eyes. "You always make things so complicated." "Did you forget you still have a bounty on your head?" Hunter asked. "You should be lucky I haven't put a bullet in your head." "Well, I know you aren't going to right now," he smirked. "And why is that?" "Because your crush is right over there," he pointed towards the blind werewolf that was quickly making his way over to them. "And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like you shooting a silver bullet at a werewolf merely looking for his mate." "You better thank that Goddess of yours," Hunter sighed, moving his hand away. "Because that's the only way you aren't dead." Kalen did believe he was lucky. He was lucky to have made it to this forest. To the strange man walking with Hunter's crush that somehow managed to take his breath away every single time he saw him. There were so many things to learn, and so many things that he wanted to help him with. But Kalen was willing to take his time.

"You've got quite the nerve ta come askin' me fer help, Wizard," The Leprechaun looked at him with hate in his eyes. "I haven't done anything to you," Lysander shrugged, not batting an eye at the small creature's reaction. "I just need to know where they are." "I'm not gonna tell you where any of the Dubois are," he shook his head. "Ye couldn't get it outta me if I was half dead!" "But-!" Orlyn tried to reason with him, but Lysander stopped him. "That's fine," he got up, motioning the familiar to follow. On his way out of the pub, though, he stopped and looked back to the leprechaun. "Feel free to let them know someone's looking for them. Their very lives could be at stake if they don't talk to me soon." ** Tobias is a loner out on his ship, venturing against the waves to enjoy the rest of his life away from most of his family.

"You're really a strange character," Eustace said, casually moving back to his desk. "No offense. I've seen quite a lot in my short time alive. But I've never seen a..." "A black vampire?" Diallo smirked, walking inside. The apartment was small, but that never bothered him. He remembered all the times he would pass time in coffins. "Well," The man's shoulders raised when he finished his sentence for him. "Most vampires became known in Europe, where there weren't anyone with your skin color. I haven't read any books about vampires of any other ethnicity. Although that could just be due to the culture of those times." "I'm fully aware that there aren't any history books about me," Diallo said. He leaned closer to the man, fully aware of what his presence could do to a mere human. "Is my appearance going to be a deal breaker for you?" "N-Not at all," Eustace shook his head. A shiver went down the spine of the thin man, and a hint of a heavy scent subtly wafted through the small room. Diallo couldn't help but smile at that reaction. He knew exactly what that smell meant. This truly was turning into an interesting mission. * Eustace Mickle is the last known member of the Mickle family: one of the last Alchemist's of the modern day.
