Loyalty didn't scream when accusations were thrown and he didn't speak when they dragged her away in cuffs. She loved. She bled. And she watched him choose the one girl she could never fight. Her best friend. And Aaron? He became the villain of a story no one fully understands. Once, he walked into her world, uninvited, unexpected, impossible to ignore. This time... she walks into his. But they are not the same anymore. She is wounded. Empty. And no longer believes in love. And him? He isn't just feared. He isn't just followed. He is something far more dangerous. And this time... there's no telling what he might destroy to keep control or what she might lose trying to survive him. ______________________________________________________________ "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚, 𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣.

She witnessed horror... and became one. After surviving a harrowing near-rape and watching her best friend brutally assaulted and murdered before her eyes, Aurora vanished-emotionally. What rose from the ashes was someone unrecognizable: Cold. Fearless. Savage. Untouchable. She trusts no one. Loves no one. And as far as she's concerned, no man alive could ever break through her fortress of ice. Love? Dead. Her rules? Simple. No emotions. No attachments. No second chances. But her new college? A battlefield. And him? Leonard Grande - the kind of trouble she didn't prepare for. Wounded. Rebellious. Addictive. Dangerous. A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters. She doesn't fall. She doesn't even flinch. And that pisses him off. Now it's war. A toxic game of destruction and seduction. She wants to erase him. He wants to ruin her. But when secrets from the past start surfacing, both realize they've been walking in the dark... and maybe-just maybe-they were destined to collide. How deep do their scars go? And who's really pulling the strings in this web of pain and passion. Dive into a dark college romance where love is a weapon, trust is deadly, and only the strongest survive. When bad meets baddest... there are no rules. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of sexual violence, emotional trauma, murder, psychological manipulation, and abusive behavior.

She was never supposed to notice him. Alessia Moretti had everything under control-her grades, her quiet life at Hawthorne Academy, and most importantly, her feelings. Especially the ones she wasn't supposed to have for Elliot Whitmore... her best friend's boyfriend. So she made a choice. A simple, reckless, stupid choice. She went to the one person she should have stayed far away from. Alexander Whitmore. Cold. Untouchable. Infuriatingly observant. The kind of boy who sees everything-and says just enough to ruin you. The deal was supposed to be simple. Pretend. Distract. Move on. But nothing about Alexander is simple. Because the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes: He's not just watching her. He's studying her. Testing her. Breaking her-slowly, deliberately... beautifully. And the worst part? She's falling for him first. But Alexander Whitmore has secrets. The kind that don't just hurt-they destroy. And the closer Alessia gets to him, the more she starts to wonder... Was he ever pretending at all? Or was she just another game he intended to win? The wrong brother. The right kind of trouble.

She was the fire he couldn't touch. He was the storm she couldn't escape. When 17-year-old Sofia Esteves returns to New York after five years in Portugal, she's not the quiet, broken girl the headlines once mocked. She's sharper, colder-and dangerously beautiful. With secrets buried deep beneath her designer smile, Sofia wants nothing but to start over. But starting over gets complicated when she runs into Emil Gusev-her twin brother's best friend and her sworn enemy. Emil is everything Sofia despises: arrogant, heartless, and breathtakingly magnetic. With his Russian blood and brutal charm, he's the king of the school and the only one immune to her ice. Except he's not. Underneath their venomous banter and heated glances lies something neither of them is ready for-obsession. As tension blurs into desire, secrets unravel, and past wounds resurface Sofia and Emil find themselves locked in a dangerous game of love and war. But when betrayal, trauma, and an old enemy return to destroy everything, will Emil still be the one to dominate her heart-or will he shatter it beyond repair? Enemies. Lovers. Survivors. In a world built on power, pain, and passion-only the strongest hearts survive. ---

Every monster has a wound that won't heal. And I've spent enough time in the dark to know exactly where to sink the knife. When I'm done, he won't just lose me. He'll lose everything.
