For the past four years, Alexander has walked the halls of Unus Academy-a school of supernaturals, gods, and monsters alike. The rules are simple: conceal your identity, control your power, and never let your true nature show. Alexander expected isolation, but instead found something unexpected: real friendship. His tight-knit circle became a lifeline, something he never imagined he'd be lucky enough to have. Escaping the shadows of his past should've been enough... but some truths don't stay buried. His secret is darker than most. And while his friends might seem loyal now, he knows what could happen when they learn what he really is. He's seen it before. No one's ever gotten close. Not until Mark. Mark is everything Alexander never expected: popular, confident, disarmingly kind. And for some reason, he's determined to become his best friend. With each shared secret and lingering glance, the walls Alexander spent years perfecting begin to crack. But some instincts don't die quietly. Which version of himself would he become? If he wants to hold on to this new life, Alexander must become someone else. Fate has other plans.

He doesn't take the threat all that seriously, until Jessie-his only protection-is accepted into a college hours away and will be leaving him.

Killian King; cold, distant, dominant, and possessive over what's his is top dog at school and known as the bad boy, so what happens when Finnick Green, the nerdy shy and socially awkward boy, trips into his life and creates an uproar that leaves his alpha wolf trembling.

Theo Tomlinson had always believed that life would be simple if he followed the rules. Study hard, train hard, and keep his powers hidden. For the most part, he had succeeded. By day, he was your average, overachieving teenage boy. By night, he was Fortis, the icy superhero who protected the city from chaos and destruction. Aether was everything Theo despised. Arrogant, sarcastic, and infuriatingly good at everything. He had stolen the title of swimming team captain from Theo. He matched Theo grade for grade. They hated each other with a passion that their entire friend group had learned to ignore. His best friend Taylor often joked that they were like fire and ice, always on the verge of exploding. But life had a funny way of forcing people together. It started innocently enough - a school project, a forced partnership that neither Theo nor Aether could escape. Forced proximity was bad enough, but when their secret lives began to bleed into their everyday ones, things got complicated. Aether was hiding more than just his villainous alter ego, and Theo's icy façade was beginning to crack. Two lives, two identities, two enemies. Theo and Aether were caught in a web of secrets and lies, and the truth was bound to come out eventually. But when it did, would they still be enemies? Or would they finally realise that the line between hate and love was thinner than they ever imagined? © yuanjia 2025 Highest Rankings: #1 heroxvillain out of 655 stories #1 swimmer out of 419 stories #6 bl out of 150k stories #9 lgbtq out of 243k stories #9 forcedproximity out of 5.12k stories #10 gaylove out of 69.5k stories #28 gay out of 389k stories
