Flowing silk dresses. Structured suits. Empty, forced vows. Soft, sweet nothings. Whispered caresses. Bittersweet kisses. Blue, blue eyes. This is not a love story. This is ruination. 🥀 Rosaline Beaumont. A name that once graced every tabloid, a face that used to be plastered all over social media. A girl that had all but disappeared. But now, four years after everything had turned to ashes in her grasp, she was back under the ever greedy gaze of the cameras, the watchful eyes of high society thirsting to watch their darling unravel. Standing at a wedding altar not of her choice, Rose was on the precipice of vowing to spend the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew. A deadly gamble. A hopeful new start. But could something new truly blossom, when the clutches of the past were dug so deep? Could she ever truly move on, when she couldn't close her eyes without dreaming of him? And could a marriage really last, when her heart would forever beat for another? 🥀 Completed on July 5, 2025.

Fenrir Romano is going through his high school years yearning for his home and pack, back in Lombardy, Italy. Being the future alpha and king of his pack, not only did he have to possess dominance and power, but also humility and knowledge of his lineage.

Until years later when a certain chestnut-haired teen walks through the doors of Ketchikan High School-meek and anxious- immediately bringing the usual strong and brooding Fenrir to his knees. The problem is, is that his mate is human. This pairing between two species is unheard of. Just as Fenrir thought things couldn't get more complicated, a string of killings begin tormenting Ketchikan. Danger strikes and Fenrir will do anything to keep his mate safe, even if it is at the expense of his life.
