"A shadow should know the darkness it was born from. Your job is to keep the light from being smothered, whatever means necessary. That is your duty as a bodyguard."
Haviland Sastre and Fara Kane are members of the Shadows, a bodyguard troop. Once they complete their training at age nineteen, it is time for them to attend the Scouting, where they will find the lord or lady they will serve for the rest of their days.
Haviland finds Lord Esper Devos, an anomaly amongst the social hierarchy of the wealthy but is not the man everyone thinks he is, and the two kindle an unlikely friendship.
Fara stumbles upon Lord Viktor Bainnor, a highly likable man sought out by countless women, but one who has a mysterious and dark past that may be more than what Fara had bargained for.
But while everyone is entangled in politics and gang wars, something awakens in the uncharted wastelands of Andreyes. Alliances will be tested, bonds will be broken, and a dangerous secret will be revealed.

AUGURY
A woman cursed to see what's coming, except how to survive him. ♤♠︎♤ The first time Zia sees Adrio Vinci, it isn't in person, but a vision of a world reduced to ash. Sold, trapped, and running out of time, she was desperate for a way out. When her foresight reveals a man with the power to burn the very people holding her captive, she makes a calculated gamble. The lesser evil. The devil who might set her free. But she chooses wrong. Gifted with visions she never asked for, Zia has spent her life avoiding the futures that haunt her. But Adrio Vinci doesn't fear fate, or prophecy. He collects power the way others collect sins, and he sees her gift as the final weapon that will make him unstoppable. Trapped in his world of violence, money, and quiet brutality, Zia realizes the truth too late. He isn't an escape. He's the catastrophe written into her future. And foresight has one unforgivable flaw. It shows you the ruin coming, but never warns you when you'll start wanting it. Copyright © 2025 by Yimora_Alvy. All rights reserved.

[COMPLETE] Her hands are under my shirt in seconds. She palms my breast through my bra and squeezes like she doesn't care if it leaves a mark. I cry out but the sound is muffled by her lips as her thumb flicks my nipple. "I hate you," I whisper. "Then hate me with your legs opened," she snarls, dragging my shirt over my head and tossing it somewhere behind her. Her teeth scrape down my throat, biting at the skin just below my jaw until I hiss. My back arches as her fingers undo the clasp of my bra and when it falls her mouth is latching onto my nipple, sucking it so fucking hard I nearly scream. I grab her hair and yank her head back but the look in her eyes only makes me wetter. "Shut up and fuck me," I snap. She grins.

Watching over Chloe is just supposed to be another way to repay that debt to the club, or so he keeps telling himself. But as the danger surrounding Chloe escalates and the lines blur between them, Hawk faces a choice between remaining guarded and alone, or letting Chloe in.
