    Pond never meant to stay. Not in people's lives. Not in places. Not long enough for anything to hurt. And Phuwin never meant to need someone this much. But somewhere between shared meals, late-night movies, stolen hoodies, and quiet mornings beside each other, they stop pretending they're unaffected. What starts as something uncertain slowly becomes something softer: a love built through small habits, quiet understanding, and choosing each other again and again. A story about staying. Even when it's scary.

    The book will stay on Wattpad until June 30. ___________ Alessia had rules. She didn't do drama, didn't take nonsense from any man. Until him. For Cassian, she broke every one. A cliché, impossible mother in law? She handled it. Missed dinners because of work? She served herself double and waited anyway. Too tired to spend time together? She embraced the quiet hours alone. She forgot her limits, abandoned her rules. All for him. Until her. The one rule she couldn't break, the limit she couldn't cross. She saw him with her. Broken, she left and whispered a wish she never thought would come true: that she had never met him. The wish was granted. Alessia woke up and didn't remember him. But now Cassian is the one waiting. Running against time to be near her. Chasing every moment, following every rule, just so she might remember him again. And if she can't... Can he remember it all for both of them? ___________ Pre-order now: US: https://a.co/d/03DJ1zV4 UK: https://amzn.eu/d/0dRPZl4b CA: https://a.co/d/004NcV0P IN: https://amzn.in/d/0byDwPI7 AU: https://amzn.asia/d/06n3RZg5 DE: https://amzn.eu/d/0ddjKi9X IT: https://amzn.eu/d/0d3BQ0Ul

    "тнє мιяяσяѕ...тнєу ℓιѕтєη, ∂ι∂η'т уσυ кησω?" -Makura Makura has always been alone. He didn't live where everyone else did, no, he lived on the other 'side.' He lived in the mirrors, the reflections, puddles, glass windows, polished metals... but not where others lived. He always watched though. He watched as demons began stealing souls. He watched as the first demon hunter trio sang their first song. He watched as the Honmoon came to life. He watched as generations of humans passed by while the demon world was stuck in place. He watched as a hunter eloped with a demon. He watched as 5 demons suffered in the grasp of the demon king. He watched as a small child and her aunt struggled to handle the reality of what she was. He watched. Then... he watched as he was seen for the first time. ____________________ Notes: Slow Burn is only because it takes the boys a while to meet Makura and actually interact with him. Story starts mostly focusing on the girls (and the poor fourth wheel named Makura.)

    She feared him more than anything-until he became the only place she felt safe. After escaping years of abuse, Lina found a fragile kind of peace scrubbing floors in a mercenary's mansion. Quiet, invisible, and broken, she kept her head down and her voice lower. Especially around him. Killian. He kills for a living. He is a powerful, cold-blooded mercenary, a wealthy man who built his empire off blood, fear. He owns a powerful private military company that operates in the shadows, answering only to the highest bidders. He commands killers, closes deals, and never makes mistakes. Until her. A glance. A flinch. A wound she tried to hide. And suddenly, he was watching her closely. Quietly. Like she was a puzzle he didn't mean to touch... but couldn't stop obsessing over. Killian: "You blush like that again, and I swear I'll pin you against this wall just to see how deep it goes." He didn't know how to be soft. She didn't know how to be wanted. But in a house full of violence, he saw her. And he started to change. And soon, she was everywhere in his mind.
