Xiena Esmarie Sullivan has built her life around discipline and dance - her refuge, her armor, her way to forget. Inside the glass walls of her studio, she controls everything, every movement a shield against the past she refuses to face.
But when Liam Sylvester Estrella walks in - talented, confident, and disarmingly perceptive - her carefully balanced world begins to shift. What starts as professional admiration turns into an unspoken tension, a dance between control and surrender. As their movements intertwine, Xiena is forced to confront the truth she's long buried - that sometimes, the hardest battles aren't fought on stage, but within yourself.

Le Suceur De Sang (Jasper Hale)
His eyes darkened as he stared at me, and I felt my heart beat fast in my chest. He looked hungry, so, so hungry.

He towered over me, and for a moment I wasn't sure if I should run or lean in. ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Irena Swan was everything that Bella Swan was not.

𝙊𝙋𝙃𝙀𝙇𝙄𝘼 𝙇𝙔𝙉𝘾𝙃'S fury was a storm that broke loose the second she saw her sister go down. Without a second thought, she mistook 𝙅𝙊𝙃𝙉𝙉𝙔 𝙆𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙃 for the culprit and decided he deserved a dose of his own medicine. Grabbing the rugby ball, she launched it back at him with a force that was all raw, righteous anger. Johnny saw her, and in that moment, the entire world outside of her seemed to fade away. He was a boy who lived and breathed the game, but her sheer intensity pulled his attention off the pitch. It wasn't her body he noticed first, but her eyes-the color of whiskey, sharp and defiant, framed by dark lashes that contrasted with the soft, rebellious pink in her hair. He noticed the way she swallowed hard, as if choking down words she couldn't dare to speak, and the way her jaw tightened before she unleashed a snarky remark at his best friend, Gibsie. He was captivated. But he knew, with a certainty that was both thrilling and terrifying, that girls like her came with a warning label. They were the ones who broke you and then laughed as you bled. Still, a dangerous instinct told him that to let her walk away would be a regret he'd carry forever. ♱ ᴏᴘʜᴇʟɪᴀ ʙʀɪᴅɢᴇᴛ ᴍᴜʀᴘʜʏ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴀ ʟᴏᴠᴇʟᴇꜱꜱ ᴀꜰꜰᴀɪʀ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ʜᴀꜱ ʙᴇᴇɴ ʙᴇᴀᴛᴇɴ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴀɴᴅ ɢᴜᴛᴛᴇᴅ ʙʏ ʜᴇʀ ᴏᴡɴ ꜰᴀᴍɪʟʏ. ᴛʜᴇ ʏᴏᴜɴɢ ɢɪʀʟ ᴡʜᴏ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴍᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇᴀᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴅᴏɢ. ꜱʜᴇ ʙɪᴛᴇꜱ ᴅᴏᴡɴ! ꜱʜᴇ ᴇᴀᴛꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ! ʙᴜᴛ ꜱʜᴇ'ꜱ ꜱᴄᴀʀᴇᴅ, ᴄʀʏɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘʀᴀʏɪɴɢ ꜰᴏʀ ᴀ ᴡᴀʏ ᴏᴜᴛ! ♱Complete

The collapse of grace
Léa Maren dances like her life depends on it - because some days, it does. A ballet student at one of Europe's most elite multi-arts conservatories, Léa is known for her flawless technique and haunting stage presence. But behind the curtain, she's barely holding it together. No one sees what happens after the stage lights dim-the panic, the pressure, the feeling that if she stops dancing, she'll stop existing altogether. Haunted by perfection, plagued by her own mind, she pours every flicker of emotion into movement - until there's nothing left of her but the performance. Then she meets Elias Roth. Then comes Elias Roth - a painter with quiet eyes and a sketchbook full of secrets. He watches her dance like it's the only thing in the world worth noticing. And for the first time, Léa lets herself be seen - not just as a ballerina, but as a girl who's falling apart behind the beauty.Elias sees her the way no one else does: not as a dancer, but as a person unraveling. He sketches her in silence, listens when she can't find the words, and holds her through the parts of herself she usually hides. Their connection is fragile, intimate, and real. At least, until it isn't. But when Elias's art begins to speak louder than his words, Léa learns the hardest truth of all... Because the thing about artists? They're always creating. And not everything made in your name is made for your protection.Complete
