    Mattheo gripped her wrists, not to pull her closer, but to hold her at bay. His knuckles were white. "Consider me dead." He whispered, his eyes swimming with a pain so deep it looked like drowning. "Because I would rather you hate me and be alive than love me and be buried. Next year... there is no 'us.'" He let go of her wrists as if her skin had burned him. The silence that followed was heavier than the shouting, the kind of silence that happens right after a fuse has run out, but before the world actually ends. "You're a coward." She whispered, the word hit him harder than the shove did after he had let go of her wrists. Her eyes were burning with unshed tears. "You're so fucking afraid of losing me that you're willing to get yourself killed." Mattheo flinched as if she'd slapped him. For a second, the boy she loved flickered in his eyes, longing, desperate, and terrified. Then, his expression went dead. The shutters came down, leaving him looking like a marble statue of a prince who had already lost his kingdom. "Call me whatever you want." He said, his voice terrifyingly calm. "But stay away from me. If you see me in the corridors, turn around. If I look at you, look away. From this moment on, I don't know you." He turned to leave, his cloak billowing behind him like a funeral shroud. The explosives had gone off, just like they always did between them. But this time, there was no smoke to clear, no thrill in the aftermath. There was only the smell of burnt air and the realization that Parker was standing in the middle of a ruin he had built as an attempt to keep her from harm.

    The Dark Lord should have killed Lily Potter. Instead, he offered her mercy. In the spring of 1980, at the height of the First Wizarding War, Lily Potter is captured while seven months pregnant and accompanied by her three-year-old daughter. Rather than execution, she is brought before Lord Voldemort himself. And he gives her a choice. Leave Britain. Take your husband, your children, and disappear beyond his war. Because the Potters are not merely enemies. They are blood-bound to him through ancient magic of the Peverell line and forgotten branches of House Slytherin. Killing them would awaken forces older than the war itself. So Lily chooses exile. The Potters vanish to the south of France. The war fades. Years pass. Children grow. Fourteen years later, the Triwizard Tournament returns. Harry Potter comes back to Hogwarts. His older sister, Eraya Nyneve Potter-Black-Beauxbatons' most brilliant witch and heiress to the ancient House of Black-returns to Britain for the tournament. And the man who once called himself Voldemort now rules magical Britain as Minister for Magic. Marvolo Slytherin. Eraya remembers only one thing from the night her family was spared. A pair of ruby-garnet eyes watching her in the dark. Fourteen years later, she meets a man with the same gaze. And there is something about that gaze-even now, just as there had been then-that feels almost haunting. And in the strangest, most unsettling way... inevitable.

    Pour Wattpad, je te conseille une description courte, mystérieuse et accrocheuse, sans révéler toute l'histoire ni Dean tout de suite. Emily Raseyne avait toujours su qu'un jour, elle partirait. Loin de son enfance, loin des souvenirs qu'elle essayait d'oublier, loin de tout ce qui lui rappelait la fille qu'elle avait été. À vingt ans, elle quitte sa ville natale avec sa meilleure amie, Zoé, pour commencer une nouvelle vie. Une nouvelle université. Un nouvel appartement. Un nouveau travail. Pour la première fois, Emily pense pouvoir enfin être libre. Mais certaines rencontres changent tout. Et parfois, il suffit d'une nuit pour que deux mondes qui n'auraient jamais dû se rencontrer entrent en collision. Entre secrets, nuits interdites, attirance et blessures du passé, Emily découvrira que recommencer une nouvelle vie ne signifie pas forcément pouvoir échapper à l'ancienne. Parce que certaines histoires commencent là où la nuit tombe. AFTER MIDNIGHT

    Coming home was supposed to be temporary. After a bitter breakup leaves her questioning everything she thought she knew about herself, Valerie leaves the city - and the emergency service career she once loved - and returns to the small rural town she grew up in. She joins the local volunteer rescue unit, expecting quiet jobs, familiar faces and a chance to put her life back together. Instead, she finds herself learning an entirely different kind of rescue. Cows trapped in dams. Boats stranded on flooded rivers. Trees across lonely roads. Lost bushwalkers. Bogged trucks. The rural unit may not see the large-scale emergencies she's used to, but every call teaches her something new - and firefighter Matt seems determined to make sure she learns it properly. For the first time in years, she finds herself surrounded by people who don't compete with her, don't need her to prove herself, and don't expect her to be anything other than exactly who she is. Soon enough, friendship with Matt turns into something neither of them expected, and the town begins to feel less like the place she ran back to and more like somewhere she might actually belong.

    Welcome to Astrea High School: an architectural masterpiece of old money, gilded corridors, and ancient family names where the social hierarchy is absolute, and outsiders are systematically broken for amusement.The undisputed ruler of this kingdom is Kim Keonho-the 16-year-old "Crown Prince" of the school, an impulsive, brilliant, and fiercely arrogant heir who satisfies his craving for freedom by dominating the dangerous midnight drifting circuits of Seoul in his midnight-blue Nissan GT-R. Backed by his inner circle, the Prince's Group, and worshipped by the elite Princesses, Keonho has never been told "no" in his life.Until Chiquita Manoban steps through the iron gates.Relocating from Bangkok with her practical mind, razor-sharp intelligence, and her late father's mechanical tools, Chiquita refuses to bow to the school's golden crowns. When she openly defies the toxic elite system to protect a victimized student, she sparks an unprecedented civil war, gathering the school's most talented outcasts into a high-fashion, high-velocity rogue syndicate known as The Vampires.Intrigued by her absolute lack of fear and infuriated by her brilliant academic and social resistance, Keonho throws down the ultimate challenge: a high-stakes midnight duel on the asphalt passes. What begins as a volatile war of deep hate, pride, and burning rivalry soon blurs into something far more dangerous. In a world governed by corrupt corporate empires, crushing parental expectations, and vicious high-society gossip, they will have to choose between burning each other down-or trusting the unfamiliar warmth of an unstoppable love.Engines roar, masks shatter, and the ultimate race for survival begins.

    Maya has rules for everything. Her grades. Her schedule. Her future. Her heart. As a pre-med student determined to graduate at the top of her class, she doesn't have time for distractions-especially not the arrogant, unpredictable boy who has somehow become her roommate. Xavier doesn't believe in rules. He's charming, reckless, and used to getting what he wants. But beneath the confidence is a boy struggling beneath the weight of expectations, a future he isn't sure he wants, and a family name he can never seem to escape. They should have nothing in common. Instead, a cramped apartment, late-night arguments, and one very strict roommate agreement force them closer than either of them expected. She agrees to help him. He agrees to follow her rules. Two hours of studying. No unnecessary distractions. No crossing boundaries. And absolutely no falling for each other. Simple, right? Until the rules become harder to follow. Because somewhere between shared meals, midnight conversations, accidental touches, and the secrets they never intended to reveal, Maya begins to realize that Xavier isn't the distraction she thought he was. And Xavier discovers that the girl who keeps telling him to stay out of her life might be the first person who has ever truly seen him. They made the rules to protect themselves. They just never expected to break the most important one......................

    "Lady Ivy." I paused. Slowly, I turned my head toward him. Luthiel tilted his head down slightly, watching me with that same unreadable expression. He lowered his voice. "I wished to say this before, but there were too many people." I gave him a look of question. "The next time you wish to avoid someone," he said, his voice even more softer now, just enough to be heard over the distant chatter of the priests, "it would serve you better not to stare first." My breath caught. He noticed. Of course, he did. ▪︎°▪︎°▪︎ I was supposed to be a side character. Ivy Blackwell. The male lead's sister. A tragic loss, a sacrifice-his catalyst for growth. Dead before twenty. It was written in the story. The one I somehow remember. And my death is coming fast. I know why. The author made me an Aether-a rare existence with even more rare healing powers. My death was never just tragedy; it was necessary. And Seraphina, the goddess of fate, has no mercy for threats like me. If she discovers what I am, my scripted ending will become my reality. So I do what I must. I play my part. I act the way I was written mostly. Making sure I keep my power buried, my secrets locked, my fear hidden behind a well-rehearsed smile. It was working. But- Luthiel. The obsessed second male lead. The antagonist. The one person I cannot afford to draw attention from. He has always been nice to me but now, why is he having so much fun from me trying to avoid him?! It's all fun and games until I slip up in front of him. Because if anyone in this world could ruin everything I'm trying to protect... it's him. Especially when my memory conveniently refuses to recall how this story ends.
