Leadership Stories

After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks. Updates Tuesdays and Fridays at Noon (Pacific)

Captain Athena Black Evergreen has one rule: No one gets left behind. Not on the battlefield. Not under her command. Not if she has any say in it. A rescue mission in Russia should have been just another operation. Instead, it leaves behind impossible memories... and questions no official report can answer. The Army calls the mission a success. But Athena can't shake the feeling that something was left behind on that mountain. While the Army closes the case, someone else quietly opens it. Hundreds of miles away, Alpha Kane is investigating a single name. Evergreen. As their paths quietly begin to converge, long-buried secrets begin to stir beneath a world hidden in plain sight. A world hidden just beyond everything she thought she understood. Some battles are fought with weapons. Others begin with the truth. Athena is about to face both.

The Veilborn no longer stay in the shadows. And the people Zyraen trusted most are forced to choose where they stand when survival demands betrayal. In a world built on lies, truth doesn't free you-it condemns you. Every secret revealed leaves something broken behind, and every choice demands a sacrifice. Because fire may ignite a war... but ashes are what remain when the heart survives it.

For over two thousand years, the teachings of Chanakya survived. Not in books. Not in temples. But within a family. Vedhanth Vishnugupta, the youngest among his cousins and the only child of his parents, was raised on lessons most people had forgotten. While others learned to chase success, he learned to understand people. While others reacted, he observed. Now a co-founder, CFO, and strategic advisor of one of the fastest-growing companies in the country, Vedhanth navigates a modern world of corporate wars, hidden agendas, betrayals, and ambition using wisdom passed down through generations. Calm. Diligent. Introverted. Dangerous. But even the best strategist cannot predict everything. Not the rivals who want him gone. Not the secrets buried within his family's legacy. And certainly not the people who refuse to be treated like pieces on a chessboard. In a world that has changed beyond recognition, one truth remains the same: Human nature. And nobody understands it better than the last Vishnugupta.

As the Great Race War raged on, Zarveth, still a mere child, chose to remain on the battlefield rather than flee. From that moment on, he came to understand one absolute truth: true peace has never existed in this cruel world. ​Years later, when all factions grew exhausted by the endless warfare, the three greatest powers on the continent finally reached an agreement. The elf nation of Neiflim, the humans of Arsteim, and the dwarves of Mouncastell formed a peace pact to end the bloodshed that had lasted far too long. ​Yet, the peace that was born was not tranquility, but rather a fragile balance maintained by sacrificing anyone deemed a threat to it. ​Small kingdoms vanished from the map. Borders shifted without warning. Fear forced many nations to join the pact simply to survive. And when the great war finally drew to a close, the world did not truly heal. ​Betrayal still lurked behind the treaty. Every faction knew that the pact was nothing more than a scrap of paper, waiting to be torn apart at any moment. ​While the kingdoms busied themselves maintaining this delicate balance, the monster races multiplied unchecked. In the shadows, mercenary factions plotted revolution. Diplomatic tensions between nations continued to escalate, pushing the continent one step closer to the next great war. ​In the midst of a world slowly spinning toward ruin, Zarveth lives by his own rules and choices, facing moral conflicts, clashing ambitions, and principles constantly tested by reality. Not as a hero. Nor as a savior. ​Every decision he makes carries consequences, and without realizing it, every step he takes slowly drags him into the epicenter of a conflict that could determine the fate of the entire continent. ​As the world marches once again toward war, one ultimate question arises: It is not whether the world can be saved. But can Zarveth survive until the very end?

Divergent: Ashes of Dauntless Everyone in Dauntless knows Ariana. She's the youngest leader they've ever had. Fearless. Sarcastic. Unbreakable. Or so they think.

It's against her own past.

Can a single choice change the path you were born to follow? "They say... A king must never depend on others. A princess can only support from behind. A knight must never let love guide his sword. Everyone has a path prepared from the day they are born. Accept it. Follow it. Never question it. ... But... If the path before you isn't the one you truly wish to walk... ...what would you do? If you wish to find that answer... This is our story."

She didn't want power. She didn't even try for it. But somehow... she became President.

They call her a project. They think they made her. But a chess piece that becomes self-aware? That's when the game breaks. _______ "You're the President now" he began and I glanced at him. He was behind my desk, working on something. "You must not attend all classes" "I'm almost at the finish line. I can't drop from a 4.8 to a 2.6" I answered before shutting my eyes and he chuckled. "Richie was meaning to drop-" "No!" I immediately rejected. "Relax, I turned him down" he said and I let out an inward sigh. "But you can't avoid him forever, he is necessary" "Necessarily evil" I muttered. "Anyways, you will be having your first council meeting with the executives-" "Not interested" There was silence for a second. "You are the President" I shot up the sofa, "even though I get into a horrible accident and lose my memory, I wouldn't forget that!" He paused, letting out a breath, his eyes still fixed on me. "You can't avoid this one. It's-" "-necessary?" "Yes. You need to speak to the people running this government with you. You have nothing to worry about, they are all on our side" "Except the Vice president. He is the spy" "At least, you are getting used to things" he answered and I huffed, falling back on the sofa. "You have some core functions you can't outrun. I have promised to handle the non-core functions" "I didn't know being a pawn was this demanding" He chuckled.

The Last Kingdom of Zangora For four centuries, the Kingdom of Zangora stood as the pride of a great African civilization, blessed with fertile lands, rich cultures, and the unity of the Idoma, Tiv, and Igede peoples. But beneath its glory lay a dangerous secret-a throne built on hidden truths, oppression, and generations of carefully preserved lies. When tyranny pushes the kingdom to the edge of collapse, a banished prince, a fearless rebel, a wise queen, forgotten guardians, and ordinary villagers must confront a history that has been erased for centuries. As ancient covenants resurface and old alliances are tested, they discover that the greatest enemy is not an invading army, but the corruption that has grown within their own nation. Filled with political intrigue, unforgettable characters, cultural wisdom, and powerful Idoma and Tiv proverbs, The Last Kingdom of Zangora is an epic African fantasy that explores leadership, justice, sacrifice, identity, and the cost of silence. It asks a timeless question: Can a nation survive after its people have forgotten the truth about themselves? A sweeping tale of power, betrayal, hope, and redemption, this is a story where kingdoms may fall-but truth has the power to build something greater.

In a world increasingly defined by burnout, disposable thinking, endless productivity, and quiet disconnection, The Weight of Small Things asks a simple but deeply human question: What actually matters? Blending reflections on work, family, machines, craftsmanship, meaning, responsibility, and ordinary life, Sheldon Stodder explores the quiet truths that shape who we become-not through grand moments, but through small decisions repeated over time. From the dignity of honest labor to the lessons hidden inside old machines, from fatherhood and recovery to trust, burnout, cynicism, and the courage to care in a disappointed world, this collection of reflections challenges the belief that meaning is found in status, speed, or endless accumulation. Instead, The Weight of Small Things argues for something quieter and perhaps more difficult: A life built with intention. A life where work serves people, care compounds, responsibility matters, and ordinary things carry extraordinary weight. For anyone who has ever felt tired, disconnected, uncertain, or hungry for something more grounded, this book offers not easy answers-but an invitation: To slow down. To pay attention. To protect what matters. Because sometimes the smallest things shape a life the most. Now available for purchase on Amazon!
