Life isn't fair. Ember and Zakari both know this all too well.
Ember has BEEN VICTIM TO the worst in people more than once and has learned to fight for herself. Whether that means fighting with strangers who try to take advantage of her; or with her best friend and brother when they have pointed opinions about her lifestyle; Ember doesn't take anything from anyone anymore.
Zakari has WITNESSED the worst in people more than once and yet blames himself for all of it. Whether that means losing the people he cares about most in the world, or dealing with the unspeakable heartbreak that comes from so many different kinds of loss; Zakari won't let himself get close to anyone in fear of hurting them the way he has been hurt.
Ember WANTS to find someone that she trusts enough to let her walls fall for. Zakari NEEDS to find someone that is willing to break through his walls and rid him of his false guilt. However, neither one wants to believe that the other is that person.
When circumstances keep throwing them into situations where they can only rely on each other, will they be able to admit what they are both keeping hidden? Or will their personal demons drive them farther apart with no hope of coming back?

"You're in my territory now, princess, and you'll abide by my rules. Is that clear?" he whispered in my ear as he backed me against the wall, his hand slithering around my waist and pulling me closer to him. __________ Leading the largest, most feared werewolf pack in America wasn't easy. As the Alpha, Haden Pierce carried the strength of his pack on his shoulders since his father was attacked by rogues. At the age of 17, he was forced to build bonds, strengthen relationships, and create a pack aura that no one would dare challenge. He led by fear, but he also led by loyalty and a determination to protect his family at all costs. After the years passed, he had given up on finding his mate and planned out his future so his pack would remain strong from the rogues that threatened to bring them down. His hatred of rogues and what they stood for ran deep. That was until Zara Ferrari, his mate, crossed his lands. The very thing he despised - a rogue - was now his mate. And as much as he tried to fight, as much as he tried to resist, the fire between them was undeniable. Would he give in or will they both get burned? __________ IGNITE is a slow-burn but you'll enjoy passionate mates, possessive exes, reunited families, unexpected betrayals and so much more!

Dangerous alliances
❝You're the most beautiful and most exquisite thing that was placed on this earth. No masterpiece could ever compare.❞ Zasha says, brushing his thumb against my cheek. Zasha Sokolov has built his life on one rule: never get attached. In the cold, ruthless world he inhabits, emotional distance is his only armor against the pain of a past that refuses to stay buried. This detachment has been his key to survival and the reason for his meteoric rise to power. But when the position he's fought his whole life to attain comes with a condition- a forced marriage-Zasha's carefully constructed world begins to crack. Adora has always been a beacon of light, masking the shadows that linger in her life. But when her abusive family sells her into marriage to pay off her sister's debt to the Bratva, she quickly realizes her so-called new beginning is nothing more than a fresh kind of hell. Trapped in a union that promises nothing but pain, Adora clings to the hope of escape-until she meets the man she's destined to marry. Zasha never anticipated that his bride would be an arsenophile with a smile as disarming as her fascination with death. Adora's blend of innocence and darkness stirs something in him that he's long suppressed, something that could destroy the fortress he's built around his heart. As their lives become entwined, passion and danger ignite, threatening to consume them both.Lengkap
Strangers To The City, Closer In The Dark
She wakes up to cold lights, unfamiliar voices, and a world that doesn't feel like her own. Trapped inside a government facility with no idea how she got there, everything she once knew is gone-erased, locked away, or rewritten, her memories-completely wiped. But the biggest surprise isn't where she is... it's who helps her escape. Shadow the Hedgehog. Silent, sharp-edged, and the last person she ever expected to trust-let alone rely on. Together, they break free, diving headfirst into a massive, chaotic city that neither of them recognize. Hunted, lost, and forced to stick together, they navigate unfamiliar streets, trying to piece together what's happened and what's coming for them next. They don't like each other. Not at first. She sees him as cold and closed off, and he sees her as reckless and stubborn. But as the days stretch on and the danger closes in, something begins to shift. Tension turns to understanding. Silence turns to something heavier. Something real. In a city full of strangers, with no map and no home, they only have each other-and that might be enough.

THERE IS ALWAYS A PRICE TO PAY
"Nowhere is safe, you know?" Foster homes, orphanages, replacement homes, you name it, Georgia Monroe has never fit in anywhere. From a young age, she has only known that running away and constantly losing track of those that are supposed to care for her, is a way of survival. A way to escape. She hardly knows her real name, as people are constantly trying to change it, whilst all she wants to do is fit in. It's like she knows that she has a real family out there, no matter how many times people try to tell her that they either didn't want her, before explaining all the reasons why no one would want her, or that they all died, and she will never know them. For years, Georgia has tried to decipher the difference between words thrown at her in rage and due to alcohol, but as the years go by, it is harder to see the difference. It's harder not to believe the words. The words of her family not wanting her and that they may be dead, probably as a result of her sake. All she wants, is a pair of safe arms that will take the stress of her shoulders, for a little while. Only, she doesn't know how great of a deal she is asking of those that are her family. She will never understand the depth of the work that her real family has been intertwined, and maybe not living with them, has kept her alive. Has made her a stronger person than she would have been if she had grown up with them from the beginning. Georgia, though it may feel like to her, isn't the only one that has suffered. Though her brothers home may be idealistic and fit for a king and queen in her eyes, it is far from it. Behind all the luxury and money spilling from the walls, it hadn't been like that their entire lives. It wasn't easy to attain such wealth without risking a few lives here and there, including Georgia's, their sister. __________________________________________________________________ Started: 11.10.21 Finished: 21.08.22 Rewritten: 17.08.25 -Lengkap

The Man Named Death ✔
"I don't know what I did to make you hate me, I haven't done anything to warrant how you ignore me! Please, just tell me!" "I'm in love with you, damn it!" He roars. "I love you so much Aphrodite, and you scare me because you are so strong and I don't want to be the one to break you!" * Aphrodite Muerte is hiding something and so is her long term crush Thanatos Amaro. Both are helplessly in love with one another and both have very different approaches on how to hide it. Love makes you do crazy things and with Aphrodite and Thanatos, it's no different. Pretending to hate Aphrodite, Thanatos manages to hide his true feelings which takes a toll on both of them. Thanatos has no idea what he's doing. Past trauma rules over Aphrodite at night causing nightmares and panic during the day. Aphrodite has no idea how to live life outside of pain. Abuse has a way of shaping people, and she's barely mended from being so broken. Both have friends that force them closer but their love might just be the reason why they end up staying together. Afterall, someone can only stay away from the person they're in love with for so long. One argument and a couple of confessions later leaves them on a confusing path that has the opportunity to be beautiful or disastrous. Love is magical but it is also savage. For Aphrodite and Thanatos, they are each other's downfalls and each others saviors. How long they last is up to them. How much they go through to get together is up to fate. In the end, will they make it or will their love end in splinters and heartache? * WARNING: Mature Content (of all sorts).

Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.

This Our Soul
Rose texted him about the rubber snake they used to hide to freak each other out. She wanted to know where it was so she could hide it for Dad's birthday. James remembered very well where he had seen it last. As for where it was now... Well. He responded with what was only a tiny lie. Rose was disappointed. But what else could he say? "Sorry, Sis, but it vanished into thin air... and thus freaked me out way more than it ever did sitting in the bathtub..." It wasn't like convincing Rose he didn't remember was so hard. It was just... this was the first time anybody had brought up his disappearing-objects problem (albeit unknowingly). Every time he thought about it, that aching Tug in his chest revved up. He'd think about that flicker of a memory in the library back home... how he'd lost Something he couldn't explain. Now here he was, in this tiny town of Donally, searching for that same Something and helpless to explain why he couldn't leave, even for Dad's 50th birthday party. James Collins has been waiting his whole life for Something he can't explain. Chouko Miura has as well. When they finally meet at the place their hearts seem drawn to, they find much bigger consequences than they expect. (Complete! Part 2 is coming soon!)
