Two years have passed since I lost my partner, Alex. Two years since my world shattered. Since then, I've thrown myself in my job to keep Alex from my mind.
When the man behind Alex's death, a genetic scientist who's been hell bent on making the strongest creature possible, returns, he brings with him nightmares that plague the city's streets that I call home.
Now I have to catch him before he plunges the city into darkness and the streets are filled with carnage-seeking mutants.

WEAPON "X" (BOOK 1 OF THE "X" TRILOGY)
After a catastrophic government project shatters half the Earth into toxic wastelands, the survivors are divided-those who live behind the towering walls of the new regime... and the mutated, hunted anomalies left to rot beyond it. Deep within a fortified lab lies Nessa Halsten, known only by the codename WEAPON X-a girl born of fire and destruction, with a power so absolute, even death refuses to claim her. For a decade, she's been imprisoned, tortured, and dissected under the cold eye of Rowan Thornhill-the Supreme Commander's heir and a brilliant, sadistic visionary obsessed with reshaping the world through her devastating gift. But when a rogue faction of surviving mutants known as the Shadow Legion storms the facility and frees her, Nessa is thrust into a war she never asked for-one where trust is fragile, and betrayal cuts deeper than any experiment. As she trains to unlock the monstrous force inside her, a new terror looms: a mysterious portal in the Outer Zone, pulsing with alien energy and threatening to consume what's left of Earth. Only Nessa can break the barrier. Only Weapon X can stand between salvation and annihilation. Yet as war breaks out, alliances splinter, and Rowan returns with an army of hybrid abominations, Nessa must choose: remain the weapon they forged... or become the reckoning they never saw coming. They called her a monster. They should have prayed she stayed buried. The real war hasn't even begun yet.

Eternal Metamorphosis
Earth has been transformed into an unpredictable nightmare by an alien force, its landscapes constantly shifting in time. Forests become oceans, mountains dissolve into endless plains, and creatures born of chaos emerge in every corner of this broken world. But the greatest threat comes at night. Shadowy predators that hunt in the darkness, vanishing only when struck by light. In the midst of this chaos, a 20 year old woman struggles to protect the only family she has left: her 10 year old brother. Together, they navigate a world that reshapes itself without warning, battling both the horrors around them and the haunting question of what caused this catastrophe. Driven by love and relentless determination, she fights to keep him safe. Even as the darkness closes in. Elyra "This world tears everything apart. The skies, the earth, the things we love, everything is devoured by this merciless transformation. Forests turn into oceans, deserts into dense jungles, and what was once home yesterday is nothing but a shadow today. In this world, constantly dragging us into the abyss, I have only one purpose: to protect my little brother. He can't see how often I cry at night, how often the fear eats away at me. The shadows are the worst. They come from the darkness, they hunt, they consume. I've seen things I'll never be able to forget. But as long as I'm breathing, I'll keep fighting. For him. For us. This world wants to tear us apart, but it will never succeed. Not as long as I'm here."Complete

There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence. My bare feet hit the metal floor of wherever we had jumped to, and I put my hand up to shield my eyes from the vicious attack of bright light. Not again."

Arranged to the Alien
She gasped and used the little strength she had left to turn around and look at the man, but certainly not a human one. Muscles rippled across every part of his toned body, nearly seven feet tall in height. His left arm, shoulder blade, and part of his rib cage were scattered with reptilian-like scales that almost appeared like diamonds that glistened in the sunlight. He had thick, pure white hair tied in a braid that laid across his muscular bare back, ending at his hips. He had prominent cheekbones and a well-defined chin and jaw. Beneath his brows, his lavender eyes were as direct as expected, not even blinking as much as the average person. Unfortunately, his haunting eyes landed on the small human, seemingly examining her shaking figure closely. His lips curved into a grin, revealing his dangerously sharp teeth. Realization dawned on her, he was going to eat her. Little did she know, he was actually going to marry her. • snippet • She pulled out of his hold and took a step back. "You want to use me." She rasped. His lavender eyes widened and he took a step towards her, making her take two back. "No, that's not-" Her chest heaved as her worst fear was coming to the light. "That's why you've been trying to win me over. You wanted to- to impregnate me! And... And now I'm here, naked in the water with you!" She snapped, hot tears gathering in her eyes. "Holy shit, I'm naked with you." She exasperated, like she just now realized what she's done. She's never felt more exposed and terrified in her life. She was completely vulnerable to him in that moment. He could pounce on her in a split second, have his was with her, and she wouldn't be able to stop him. There it was again. The sheer terror in her eyes, and it was directed at him. Nothing hurt him more than that. • Highest rankings: #1 fiction #1 young adult #1 alien love #1 area 51 #1 stockholm syndrome #1 dark #1 arranged marriage #2 mates #2 wedding #3 alien #3 kingComplete
Kidnapped to love
The cool night air stung her cheeks as she stumbled through the deserted alley, her heart racing with panic. The echoes of her footsteps bounced off the walls, but no matter how fast she ran, the shadows behind her seemed to close in. "Keep running, doll" a low, sinister voice called out from the darkness, sending a shiver down her spine. "You can't escape me." She halted, her breath ragged, fear rooting her in place. Her mind screamed at her to keep going, but her legs wouldn't move. And then she saw him-emerging from the shadows, his tall frame dominating the space, his cold eyes locked onto hers. "W-Why are you doing this?" she stammered, backing away slowly, her body trembling. His lips curved into a dark, amused smile. "Because you're mine, doll" His voice was calm, terrifyingly so. "And no one takes what belongs to me." Crystal is a 20-year-old, breathtakingly beautiful college student with a bright future ahead of her. Innocent, determined, and full of life, she never expected her world to be torn apart by a man like Dimitri.

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
