While she hasn't accomplished everything she hoped for, she's proud of the person she's becoming. She's let go of the pressures of the past, learned to accept her flaws, and has even discovered her dream of owning a restaurant. But just as Megan starts to feel grounded, echoes from her past resurface. First, there's Clifford, the ex-boyfriend she's relieved to have moved on from, despite the emotional scars he left behind. Then, there's Gino, the high school crush she never quite forgot. After a strange series of online conversations, Megan's long-lost feelings for Gino resurface, and the two finally meet in person after years apart. What starts as an innocent reunion quickly becomes a rollercoaster of emotions as Megan is swept back into a world of old feelings, lingering regrets, and unresolved tensions. As her connection with Gino intensifies, Megan must face the difficult questions: Is she ready to rekindle something that never truly began, or is her future waiting elsewhere? And what will happen when past and present collide?

The Emperor by hurtmesoifeel

He is the embodiment of Adeline's darkest fears and desires, he's manipulative, violent and worse; Kaiser is beautiful. He's everything her mother warned her against before leaving for college. She shouldn't be attracted to him, but who ever won against their deepest needs? Especially when she finds herself becoming the only thing he craves more than blood. Just a fallen angel and the devil himself. "I should've stayed on my knees. Instead I fell from grace for a man promising me hell."
