Chp. 14 Preview:
Mom turned to look at me, and without any hesitation she began to answer. Maybe she thought I was finally ready to know the answer or maybe she didn't like keeping this a secret from me when I was raised by it. For whatever reason she decided to finally tell me, and I didn't care to ask. "Wow... okay, asking me this question before I was going to tell you... It's a long story and-," she began to tear up and put on a false smile, "-you're not going to like it." The truth behind my aunt and our family would be the reason my mom was so in denial about God's being real and her deciding to be an ignorant atheist. Because the truth ruined her life, just like it was going to ruin mine, but my life more than hers, because she wasn't going to be paying the consequences, she just had the misfortune of marrying into the family.

Arsonist's Lullaby (MxM) ✔
𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙄𝙄𝙄 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 The bad news: Phoenix has turned into gold. The good news: so have their enemies. It's also possible that apart from their group of three, so have the rest of the human kind. Meanwhile, in the cottage, life more or less goes on. As Najwa mourns both her mom and the loss of her closest friend, Rain can't tear his gaze away from the golden remnants of their enemies and Rio does their best to keep everyone fed and healthy. Aspen isn't much help, not when he is holed up in his room, terrified of the power he holds. It's been said that you only realize the importance of someone when they're gone. Whether or not that is true, Aspen would give his life to get Phoenix back. There's guilt, undoubtedly, but also the fact that he has a huge crush on him. They have never even had the chance to kiss or confess their feelings, and that's just tragic. But hey, there's always a chance for a long-distance relationship. As you might imagine, the connection from one world to another isn't ideal. But if they can make it work, there's a chance to return Phoenix and the rest of the infected back to life.Complete

Shattered Memories Unbreakable Desire 1 - [MXM] ➖
The Possession Series, Book 1 If I had ordinary parents, maybe I would've been ordinary too. Maybe my life would have been sculpted by small rules: curfews, lectures, the slam of a door and the promise of a second chance. Maybe my name would drift, unnoticed, through the world. But I wasn't born into ordinary. I was born to a family that confuses possession with love, gilding it in the language of legacy to make it sound noble. My father oversees me like a distant god, certain my life belongs to him. When he speaks my name, it isn't comfort, it's a declaration of ownership. And my brothers, they do not guard me. They confine me. Ten of them. Ten shadows moving before me. Ten blades masked as guardians: loyal, relentless, terrifying. They count my steps, measure my glances, watch every hand that dares reach, as if my freedom is a treasure always at risk of being stolen. They call it safety. They call the world cruel. They're not wrong. People die too easily here, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, always explained away. Truth never comes clean; it comes in whispers, traded in back rooms, sealed with prayers that sound like threats. In this house, devotion is a weapon. Loyalty, a leash. Wanting anything for myself is treated as treason. I'm the most cherished. So I'm the most controlled. Which means one day I'll either be their salvation......or the reason they fall apart. ⚠️ Reader Advisory ⚠️ This story is raw, realistic, and uncensored.
