Elias lacked confidence. This was something that everyone who had ever interacted with him had noticed. The way his teeth tugged his lips as he debated whether to pitch into a discussion. The way his fingers gravitated towards his ears to fidget with his piercings whenever he felt uncomfortable but was too meek to say so. The way his eyes shifted across people's faces during conversations, settling on every feature but never meeting the eyes of the person he was talking to.
Yes, Elias was a coward, but at least he knew when he needed to act.

Obscure
Forgetting is dangerous. Remembering is deadly. Elias: the man sitting handcuffed in an interrogation room deep in a secret underground facility. On the surface, he looks harmless. But his mind is a weapon-he can erase memories with a thought. Kirill: the man on the other side of the interrogation table. He has a weapon of his own-he can see inside other people's memories. All he has to do is make them feel a strong enough emotion, and their minds are his. And no emotion works quite as well as fear. Elias has worked for decades to save the Enhanced-people born with superhuman abilities-from being abducted and forced into black-ops work. Now his captors want the names of everyone who has ever helped him. If Kirill's methods of persuasion don't work, he'll simply use Elias's fear to slip into his mind and plunder his memories. But he may get more than he bargained for. Decades ago, Elias erased a set of memories that tie the two of them together in a way neither of them suspects. And those memories are about to come to light. Obscure is part of the Mind Games universe, a series of standalone stories about ordinary humans with superhuman abilities and the people who want to use or destroy them. This novel is 65,000 words long, or about 200 pages.Complete

Unhinged
"Silly boy - you dare ask me that question?" I frown at him instantly - taken aback when he gripped my chin. Yanking me close enough towards him, our lips almost touched. The look in his eyes was one I've seen in wild animals who can't control their animalistic behaviors. Except this one was different...it held desire - which I wasn't for at all. "I became Unhinged because of you." That's when I saw him begin to lean towards me, and wasn't having this any longer. I shove my hand onto his lips right when he was about to kiss me. My eyes glaring into his despite the risks of me doing so. "I refuse for my first kiss to be from someone like you." I growl at him, his eyes widening in shock. That's when I push him back and got off of the couch. I saw him watching me with feral eyes that told me I probably angered him even more. Possibly heightening the chances of my removal from this horrid competition. Except I'm not like the other contestants here. Having him isn't my dream, my dream is helping my family - and being here does that. I could care less if he becomes Unhinged. Especially if it's because of me. *read "Prologue" for story description* 😊💕Complete![To Have Loved [BxB] Book I ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/256816530-256-k879096.jpg)
