What if the gods never left? What if their blood still ran through the veins of the chosen- and one of them was you? When Celeste arrives in Delphi, she's searching for a quiet escape. But beneath the ruins and whispers of ancient myths, something long-sleeping begins to stir. Dreams twist into prophecies. Statues almost breathe. And Hanelous-a mysterious boy with lightning in his eyes-knows far more about her than any stranger should. Celeste isn't just walking through history. She is history's echo. The Thirteenth Flame-prophesied, feared, and buried deep-is awakening in her bones. And not even the gods can stop what's coming. Hunted by forces that want to control her and haunted by memories that don't belong to this lifetime, Celeste must choose: run from the storm, or become the fire that reshapes the world. A Twilight-inspired Greek mythology fantasy filled with forgotten bloodlines, sirens, secrets, and love that defies the stars-Whispers of Olympus is a story of claiming your power, rewriting fate, and unlocking the truth buried beneath centuries of silence. Copyright © Conneya Moore - July 2025 Edition Disclaimer: This story is loosely inspired by classic myths we've grown to love, but every twist, flame, and word is 100% my own imagination.

🔞⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This story is VERY mature and will contain very descriptive explicit scene. Not limited to violence and sex. Please be advised ⚠️ Also, I do not own any image used in this book. Images are strictly for entertainment and visuals. All right belong to the originator and owner. In the shadows of Chicago's South Side, where luxury homes border bullet-riddled alleyways and heartbreak wears designer, Yodit "Jodi" Yemane is caught between two worlds. Born into wealth but raised by a mother drowning in vodka and silence, Jodi's life behind marble walls is anything but perfect. Her Eritrean heritage gives her pride, but also pressure-to be strong, to be silent, to carry what others drop. Enter Rakeem-street-smart, diamond-grilled, and hustling just hard enough to survive. He's not her type on paper, but life ain't written in ink. Torn between his loyalty to the streets and his toxic situationship with Raven, Rakeem finds solace in Jodi's presence-even if neither of them will admit what's growing between them. They're not lovers. Not yet. Just two broken souls orbiting each other, clinging to connection in a world that keeps trying to erase them. But as secrets surface, trauma tightens its grip, and promises turn to ash, they'll have to decide: is love real when everything else around you is fake? "Broken Promises & Blunt Truths" is a slow-burn, raw, urban tale about class, culture, addiction, loyalty-and the kind of love that only the realest can survive.

Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger. Her defenses slip. And then one night-when he comes home drunk, eyes glassy, words slurred but honest-he breaks every version of him she thought she knew. Gone is the boy who annoyed her growing up. This Theo is raw. Complex. Broken in places she never noticed before. And now she wants things she's never dared to want. His kisses. His hands. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck becomes a dangerous line they can't stop crossing. And the more she sees him, truly sees him, the more she wonders- What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along?

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
