But one accidental collision sets off a whirlwind of spikes, secrets, and unexpected feelings that just might pull him into the spotlight for good. *** Evan has spent his entire life living in the shadow of his twin brother and volleyball prodigy, Ethan Reed. And to be honest? He likes it there. No expectations, no pressure, just quiet. That is, until one day he trips and falls into a boy, and subsequently triggers a highly dramatic series of events that starts with him reluctantly joining the volleyball team, and ends with him dating his brother's best friend. (And unfortunately, after all of it, he's still on the volleyball team.) *** NOW COMPLETED

Chan came to college to disappear. To survive quietly. To leave his past where no one could touch it. Instead, he met Stray Kids-seven people already bound to each other, admired by everyone, and cruel to anyone who didn't belong. When the world fractures and soulmarks appear, fate makes a mistake. Chan is tied to them. An Enigma hiding behind the mask of an Alpha, Chan refuses the bond, drowning himself in noise, strangers, and recklessness to escape what he never asked for. But soulmarks don't care about history, and destiny doesn't care about guilt. As society reshapes itself around secondary genders and fear, Stray Kids are forced to confront the damage they caused-and the terrifying truth that losing Chan might be the one thing fate won't forgive. In a world where love is power and bonds are law, the question isn't whether they're meant to be together- it's whether love can survive being forced, broken, and chosen too late.

Jisung and Felix have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Growing up in the same harsh, miserable pack forged a bond between them that only deepened when, on their eighteenth birthdays, they discovered they were both omegas... and fated mates. But something doesn't add up. Where's their alpha? Aren't fated bonds supposed to include one? When the boys sneak out for their nineteenth birthday, everything changes. Jisung makes a split-second decision that will alter their future... he doesn't want to go back. Not to the pack that treats them like slaves. Not to a life of fear. He just wants freedom, happiness, and a life with his Lixie. Finding the alpha they were destined for would just be a bonus. ••• Please do not copy or translate without my permission. Thank you!

Once he became the Capo of the most influential mafia, The Wolfe Pack, life became nothing more than blood, sweat, and tears. When he's sent on an assignment to gather intel on an illegal trafficking ring in his city, he wasn't prepared for his heart to start beating once again in his stone cold chest after laying his eyes on the blond Adonis beating his opponent to a bloody pulp in the fighting cage. After being orphaned at the age of 13, Dante was shipped off to a group home where he was raised till he chaptered out of the foster system.

But after an incident that left him fighting for his life, he found himself forced into a life of servitude. Five years later, he's a shell of his old self, going through the motions and just trying to survive. Then one night, he's thrown into a room with a male with obsidian eyes who would change his life forever.
