The Alpha's Softest Sin
"If she dares to run, she'll learn that mercy from me is sharper than cruelty." Tristan's POV She is the fire in my veins, the only ache I cannot kill. One breath from her and I am undone-beast and man both caged by her nearness. "Her nearness poisons me, yet I would drink her a thousand times over." "You don't see it yet, little flame... but your heart is already mine. If love does not bind you to me, chains will. If tenderness fails, I will wield obsession like a blade until you bleed only for me. The world may kneel or burn, I don't care- because you are the only sin I'll never repent, the only war I was born to win." "I would tear out my own soul, if she asked-yet cage hers if she runs." By Tulip

Hide & Seek (With Benefits)| ONC 2025
Faking her death seemed like a solid plan-until the wrong man came looking for her. Delilah Whitmore wasn't about to let her controlling fiance dictate her future. So she vanished, trading champagne and silk for flannel and firewood in the middle of nowhere. It was all going great... until a very broody, very attractive private investigator showed up at her doorstep. Declan Grayson doesn't lose his targets. Ever. But Delilah? She's not like anyone he's ever tracked before. She's stubborn, infuriating, and far too tempting for a man who's supposed to be dragging her back to the life she abandoned. Stuck together in a rainstorm, Declan is forced to question everything-his mission, his morals, and most of all, how much longer he can keep his hands off the woman who was supposed to be just another job. This story is written for The Open Novella Contest 2025 Prompts: 41. It's a canon event, after all. At that moment, she realized she had to end the toxic relationship for good. She disappeared from the country, leaving everything behind to start fresh. For a while, she had relied on him just to survive, but now she knew it was time to break free and reclaim her life. 44. In the middle of a storm, a stranger arrives at your cabin, and you offer them shelter. But the storm's forecast says you'll be stuck for much longer than expected. 134.

Still You
They didn't win the prize money. But they walked away with something far more dangerous: a real relationship in a fake reality world. Olandria thought the hardest part was surviving the villa. Turns out, it was surviving the spotlight. Now that the cameras are gone, the hate is louder, the headlines are messier, and the love? It's tested every single day. He's the white boy the internet swears would never choose a girl like her. She's the Black woman fighting to exist without defending her worth. But what they have isn't up for debate. Not after the way he protects her. Not after the way she opens up only for him. Not after all the podcasts, fan edits, betrayals, and backlash. This isn't a fairytale. This is fame, love, racism, and real loyalty wrapped in one messy, passionate, slow-burning storm. And through it all - it's still him. It's still her. Still You.Complete
