Exmilitary Stories

When an Egyptian princess is betrothed to a powerful Moroccan prince known for his arrogance and cruelty, she chooses exile over a gilded cage. Fleeing across continents, she finds herself deep in the frozen heart of Russia-half-starved, hunted, and desperate to disappear. There, she crosses paths with a cold, battle-worn ex-military general whose silence is as dangerous as his past. He wants nothing to do with royalty. She wants nothing but freedom. Yet fate binds them together as he becomes her unseen guardian, protecting her from the shadows as the desert she escaped tries to reclaim her. Across sand and snow, two worlds collide-and the chase has only just begun.

The story of how a bullet in my hip changed my life

"I didn't hire him to protect my body. I hired him because I couldn't survive another night alone." Azalea- I had everything money could offer. But the nights were still too long, and the silence too loud. They say grief fades. It doesn't. It lingers-quiet and cold. Haunted by my past and desperate not to be alone, I hired Alek: a cold, ex-military bodyguard with scars deeper than his silence. He doesn't speak much. He doesn't smile. But he listens. He stays. I didn't expect the man behind the silence to feel like home. And that was enough... until it wasn't. Until I started getting greedy. Alek- I've seen war. Death. Hell on Earth. But nothing wrecked me like the soft-eyed girl who looked at me like I wasn't broken. I told myself I'd keep it professional. She was just another job. But the truth? I never stood a chance. The more I watched her quietly carry the weight of the world- The more I wanted to carry it with her. Azalea is the kind of light you don't touch when you've lived too long in the dark. But every time she looked at me... it felt like maybe I didn't have to stay there. It's not the danger that gets to me. It's the way she carries it-quiet, alone, like I'm not standing right here. Like she already knows something I don't. [On Hiatus]

Nico Barrett doesn't believe in heroes or happy endings. Raised on the streets and sharpened by betrayal, he lies for a living and steals to survive. So when a gang that once helped him resurfaces with a deadly ultimatum-steal sensitive intel from Titan Core Security or be buried in a ditch-Nico loads up a new identity and a cocky smirk. He nearly pulls it off. But just as he's about to vanish, a gloved hand grabs him, and everything goes black. Adriano Calvetti is the type of man people don't say no to. Ex-military, sharp-jawed, and dead-eyed, he runs Titan Core like a war zone. Nico should've been just another failed breach. But Adriano doesn't see fear when Nico wakes up-he sees fire. Stubborn, reckless, and smart-mouthed, Nico forces Adriano to question everything. Yet it's not just the defiance that catches Adriano's eye-it's the way Nico flinches at loud noises, the way he goes rigid or lashes out when touched without warning. As secrets unravel and danger moves closer, Adriano realizes he doesn't just want answers-he wants to protect the very thief who almost took him down.
