"Shadows in the Apartment" unveils a gripping narrative akin to a modern-day parable, exploring the intricate dance of power dynamics within the confines of shared living. In this riveting tale, Kit, a protagonist navigating the treacherous waters of interpersonal relationships, finds themselves ensnared in a web of influence, manipulation, and moral ambiguity.

Enter Axxel, a cunning and enigmatic figure whose magnetic charm conceals a calculating mind. With his influential family connections and penchant for psychological warfare, Axxel embodies the embodiment of power and control, dominating the apartment's social hierarchy with ease.

At his side stands Charles, a troubled soul caught in Axxel's gravitational pull. Vulnerable and impressionable, Charles becomes both pawn and protege in Axxel's Machiavellian game, subject to his whims and manipulations.

As Kit endeavors to carve out their place amidst this volatile landscape, they are confronted with the harsh realities of survival and self-preservation. Axxel's bullying tactics and Charles' wavering loyalty serve as constant reminders of the stakes at hand, forcing Kit to navigate a delicate balance between asserting their autonomy and succumbing to the allure of power.

But in the shadows of the apartment's walls lie secrets waiting to be unearthed, and alliances waiting to be forged. As Kit embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, they must unravel the intricacies of human nature and master the art of influence to emerge victorious in this game of power and peril.

"Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.

(MxM) Wolf's blood, human body & Alpha soul. A Maelstrom merge that was left to be dealt by one person alone. Alexander Wolf, the born-human descendant of the greatest pack of his world, is the sole heir of the Alpha of the prestigious Prime Crescent Pack. His birth has always been a calamity, a distress. Every breath he takes reminds him of the misfortune he's caused to his parents, family, and pack. Although welcomed, he doubts their sincerity, as he lacks a wolf and the ability to shift like other werewolves. He's spent his life alone, hiding behind high walls and large doors whenever his parents tried to introduce him to the pack. But now, with his coming of age, he must step forward into alpha duties and serve his pack. Will he find himself ruling with grace, or will he run away like he always has? Will he give up his birthright due to the Moon Goddess's cruel twist of fate? As a human in a wolf pack, his life is far from fortunate, unlike his human mother, the Luna, who is protected by the powerful Alpha, his father. However, he can't escape the whispers within the pack: "Can a human really be our next Alpha? No way!" His life is already a mess, and the Awakening Ceremony, a significant milestone, has shaken him to his core. He doubts his ability to fulfill alpha duties and find a mate bond, especially without a wolf of his own. Will he find someone to accept him without being looked down upon? Can he satisfy his primal urges without being a werewolf himself? But he doubts whether he'll have a mate at all. Cover by @CuteFairyDust Started: 28/06/2024
