He dropped his hand and smiled and I winced. I literally winced. He gestured to my headphones and with shaky hands I slipped them off, watching his smile bleed across his face, dripping with a new kind of terror I couldn't quite place. "Hey," he said, light and typical of his golden boy persona, "I've seen you around at school." I blinked at him, not used to a conversation this civil proceeding a murder attempt. "I'm Elio," he smiled again. It didn't reach his eyes. Again. I swallowed, hard and dry. "I know." 🏅 #1- Boyxboy- Dec 30, 2025🥇 #1- Slowburn- Dec 30, 2025🥇 #3- bxblove- Jan 03, 2026 🥉

Vampires. A phenomenon so rare that there are only three. The first, one so ancient her origins are unknown. The second, a mere wanderer that cares not for the troubles of others and the last, cursed before he even left the womb, a monster that lives among those that wish for nothing more than his demise. Wallie Jonessan is now a butler to one of those monsters, Soran Makai. Those among the estate fear the Archduke that treats all with a cold distance but Wallie carries a secret; a secret that allows him to grow closer to one that has long forgotten the meaning of comfort. Through days spent together, a bond is formed between vampire and human that cannot last. Royals fearful of Soran, and greedy for the power he possesses, are an ever looming threat. Danger lurks around every corner and traitors wait patiently for their time to strike. Although a monster Soran Makai may or may not be, Wallie is about to learn that vampires are not the only beasts that curse the land. Humans can be just as cruel, especially towards a love they simply cannot accept.

*Completed* All his life, Kian has known nothing but trauma. As an omega, he was abused all his life and was told that he had one sole purpose: to be used by others. He was taught to be silent, apologetic, and obedient. He's broken rules and paid the price, yet still, he breaks one of the biggest rules his pack had set: Do Not Leave. He and four of his closest friends manage to escape, and while he was terrified at first, this huge action opens a door to a journey he could never imagine. Bridger Levoh never wanted to be a beta. He was destined to become one when he was born around the same time as his alpha, Arron. His entire life has been the shadow of his alpha; they are forced to be stuck together like glue. Despite this, he and Arron have entirely different viewpoints - some of which Bridger simply cannot agree to disagree with. He is tired of how things are and knows that if he were an alpha, he would dedicate his entire life to changing the system. He's tired of hearing about omegas dying at the hands of their pack, being abused, and being tortured. He's done his research; he knows that omegas are important. But how can he make change when barely anyone agrees with him? He can't. At least, that was until he met Kian. Their meeting makes possible what many consider impossible: He shows Kian the true purpose of being an Omega.
