*COMPLETED* He's my best friend. The one person I run to when I don't want to face the world around me, because I know I can hide with him. In the comfort of our silence. Of his touch. My heart has always been his, if only he'd see that I'm right here waiting for the day he will finally notice me. Then, perhaps, he could be mine. But I'm just out of a relationship. And he's unavailable. -•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• #3 IN MUTUALFEELINGS

Ellie Baker and Elijah Forrest Riorson have been academic rivals for as long as they can remember. At their school, there is one scholarship that matters more than all the others-an elite, full-ride award that guarantees freedom. Ellie Baker has built her entire life around earning it. Everything Ellie has, she earns. She studies until two in the morning, ignores exhaustion, and tells herself it's fine-that she can take it. She does it for her mom, who had her young and for a future she has to secure on her own. Control. Elijah does not need the scholarship. But if Baker wants something, Elijah will always be in the way. He's strong, nonchalant, and perpetually bored. He's sharp without trying and effortlessly successful in school. Grades come as easily to him as breathing. But what actually matters to Elijah isn't the classroom-it's the shop, where he works alongside his grandpa, fixing broken things with his hands and finding a sense of purpose school has never given him. Ellie isn't jealous of Elijah. She envies him. He succeeds, while she has to fight for every achievement. Her resentment began in fifth grade, at the spelling bee. Ellie and Elijah stood side by side on the podium, the final two contestants. When it was her turn, she froze-stuttered, forgot how to spell the word. Elijah spelled his correctly on the first try, effortless. She's hated him ever since. Or at least, she thinks she has. Now, family life and school start to mix. "Your staring" "i'm calculating how your brain manages to produce that much cockiness" "wouldn't you like to know." "Do you have to be so disgusting?" "you like me like that baker" But remember, a riorson is never just a riorson. Because a riorson was once a Moretti. Moretti mean guns. Moretti means danger. Moretti means war. Not your average teen romance. Not your average mafia romance. But maybe something in between.

Evil love triangle The King of Lighntgale is dying. There is no debate. No prayer left unanswered. No healer left to summon. Death has already placed its hand upon his shoulder, and no one is powerful enough to pull it away. The kingdom has only one hope. The prince must take a queen. So the maidens come. From forgotten villages tucked beneath ancient forests. From crowded cities where every family dreams of a crown. Even from kingdoms beyond the sea, where whispers of Lightgale have traveled farther than the wind itself. They are tested. Again. And again. And again. Beauty is measured. Grace is examined. Wit is questioned. Blood is traced. Every smile, every heartbeat, every breath weighed against impossible standards. The trials are old. The rituals older. They have been repeated for generations. Yet no maiden has ever been enough. Until Katherina. Maiden of Klaus. Daughter of Light. No one expected her name to be spoken. Least of all Katherina herself. Marriage was the one fate she had spent her life outrunning. She wanted freedom, not a throne. Silence, not a crown. Prince Andrew is everything the kingdom adores. Charming. Gentle. Quick to laugh. The kind of man every mother prays her daughter will marry. But kingdoms are built on secrets. And some men cast shadows even beneath the brightest sun. There is another. Knight Obsidian. The Son of Death. A name spoken only in lowered voices. A man mothers warn their children about. A knight whose gaze lingers like winter, whose silence unsettles even the bravest soldiers, and whose presence makes the castle feel colder than stone should allow. Everyone fears him. Everyone avoids him. Everyone... except Katherina. Or perhaps she should. Because the greatest danger in Lightngale has never been the dying king. Nor the trials. Nor even the crown. It is what waits in the darkness behind them. And by the time Katherina realizes why she was chosen... It will already be too late.

Lilith Swan Riorson is a figure skater with undeniable talent. She skates with control, but scouts overlook her in favor of flashier stories. She's learned to be patient. To wait her turn. To believe skill will speak eventually. Ezekiel Carter never waits. As the hockey team's captain, he's confident, arrogant, and magnetic. Fans think he's careless, unserious, a fuckboy who can't commit to anything. Coaches worry. Zeke's home life is chaos disguised as normal. His mom drifts in and out of his life - loving one day, unreachable the next. She promises things and forgets them. Shows up and disappears. Swan needs attention. Zeke needs proof he can commit. The deal works. i can feel him before I see him. "Careful, princess." I don't look up. I already know it's him. "You're tiny," Carter adds, amusement dripping from every syllable. "One good breeze and you're done." I tighten my skate laces and keep my voice steady. "You should worry less about my size and more about your ego, Carter." That finally gets his attention. I stand, meeting his eyes. "I can take a lot more than you think," I say coolly. For half a second, something flashes across his face. Then he smiles. Heat crawls up my neck. I hate that he gets a reaction. Hate that he knows it. "You're disgusting," I snap. He just laughs, low and quiet. "You said it first." "I wasn't talking about you," I say, stepping past him, brushing his arm on purpose. "But thanks for confirming." As I walk away, I hear him behind me, voice lazy and infuriatingly pleased. "Relax, princess." I don't turn around. "Don't call me that," I say sharply. "You haven't earned it." "Yet." But remember, a riorson is never just a riorson. Because a riorson was once a Moretti. Moretti mean guns. Moretti means danger. Moretti means war. Not your average teen romance. Not your average mafia romance. But maybe something in between.
