Katia's stream was her safe place. Low-key. Low-viewer. Low-risk. Until Vybehawk, streaming's golden boy, raided her mid-fishing rant and turned her quiet swamp of self-loathing into a feeding frenzy. Chat begged him to collab with her. Then they told him to "test her." So he did. She left. On stream, mid-viewer-peak. And the internet felt it. Now, Vybe's in freefall, facing the wreckage of the persona he built and the woman who refuses to be his next "bit." But Katia doesn't trust sudden attention. She's lived through "new and shiny" turning into "too much and disposable" before. If Vybe wants to be more than a spectacle, he'll have to unlearn everything that made him famous-starting with the idea that people are content. No raids. No clickbait. No chat as a buffer. Just him. Just her. Off stream.

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?
