"As fierce as I tried to appear on the outside... I couldn't lie. I was still scared. Not only of getting hurt, but also of losing whatever's left of who I was. What if I would wake up one day and wouldn't recognize myself anymore? Though, maybe that was the point. Maybe the old me wasn't worth saving anyway."~Adrian Hayes ... After his parents kicked him out for being gay, Adrian Hayes finds himself longing for control and respect. He fights himself into the gang, his cousin is also part of, desperate to free himself from the humiliation and shame that clung to his name. Though, he never meant to fall for the rival gang leader. ... "I was the leader of a gang that Rafael wanted gone. And Adrian, whether he liked it or not, was one of Rafael's now."~Caleb Silva

They didn't end up in the same space on purpose. Brooklynn is the quiet type. Not shy... just tired. Tired in the "life been heavy for a while now" way. He minds his business, goes to work, comes home, and keeps his world small because that's how he breathes. Azyir is the opposite. Loud, funny, always in motion. ADHD running the wheel every day. Talks so much he forgets to say what he really means. Laughs loud so nobody asks if he's okay. They sit in the same trig class at their HBCU, but they don't talk. They don't dislike each other either. They just... live in two different worlds. Messiah Markell is their professor. Older, calm, strict in the quiet way that makes people sit up straighter. He owns a club downtown called Desirable, but in class he keeps everything controlled. He doesn't like watching people drown in silence or noise. He sees them both slipping. Not failing. Slipping. So he tells them to stay after class. Every day. Not for tutoring. Not for discipline. Just to sit, breathe, work, or not work. A room where nobody has to force themselves to be "okay." And somehow, without anybody planning it... The quiet one. The loud one. And the man who teaches them how to stay. Start learning how to need each other. Not in a fast way. Not in a dramatic way. In the way real connections happen: Slow glances. Shared exhaustion. Walking home together because home doesn't feel safe tonight. Sitting in silence that doesn't hurt. Being seen without having to explain. This is a story about: Black boy rest. Soft dominance. Messy feelings. Learning how to stay present. No fake deep. No forced love. Just real people figuring out how to breathe.

[Can be a stand alone!][Book 3] {Valleyside Pack} Christopher, Nicholas, and Caroline are first born triplets of Aaron and Vanessa Henderson. Normally, the alpha title would fall to the first born, but the title was passed to the three of them. Valleyside has three alphas, all of which are very closely united. Aaron's second born, Lukas, has earned the position of beta, seeing that previous alphas Milo and Will couldn't have biological children. Now, at the age of twenty-two, the triples are still unmated, and it's about time they find their mate. Christopher and Nicholas have always shared everything- from food to clothes and even lovers. It came to no surprise that they ended having to share a mate, too. Only... their mate is human. Now they have to earn his trust, earn his approval, and most of all, earn his love. Brandon Privati has been on the run with his older brother, Ian, for the past two years. After things got ugly at home, they left without turning back. With danger after them, both brothers are taken to the growing town of Berry Canester in the middle of the woods. It seemed closed enough, safe enough to settle for the remainder of Brandon's education. Only... another type of danger greets them and it isn't long until the two alphas find their mate. It isn't long before the danger finds them and it isn't long before secrets are brought to the surface. Only... Brandon doesn't know what is more dangerous- the two men who easily heated his body and create a fire, a flame, that completely burned him up... or his father. {Mature Audiences}
