She told herself she didn't need anyone. That the darkness she wore like a second skin was enough to keep her safe. But tonight, beneath the weight of shadows and silence, her heart begged for something else.
The girl who moved like smoke through the cracks of the world-knives on her thighs, a mission in her eyes-was tired. Not from the climb over walls or the silence of broken guards, but from the endless chase of memories she could never outrun.
He found her there-between the blood and breath of another perfect infiltration, standing still like she'd forgotten what she came for. His voice, soft through the earpiece, cracked the cold around her.
"Come back," he said. "You don't have to keep running."
But she didn't answer.
Because it wasn't just about running. It was about surviving a war she never chose. It was about the weight of everything she never said. And maybe... maybe wanting a place to rest.
Could he be that place?
Could she let him be her home, when all she's ever known is escape?
She touched her chest, where the ache lived, and whispered into the night:
"It's a lie... but please-hug me like I'm home."

The marriage that changed the life
The door clicked shut behind us, sealing away the world. My back pressed against it before I had even taken a breath. His hands, warm and sure, slid to my waist, pulling me in like he had been holding himself back all day and had finally broken. The scent of him - faint cologne mixed with something darker, headier - wrapped around me. My fingers found his lapel, curling tight, grounding myself against the storm in his eyes. "You have no idea," he murmured, voice low and ragged, "how hard it was... not to touch you like this." His forehead rested against mine for a heartbeat, his breath brushing my lips, and then - the restraint snapped. His arms caged me in, pulling me flush against him, every inch of him radiating heat. My pulse tripped over itself as his thumb traced my jaw, tilting my head just enough for his mouth to hover over mine. Every second stretched, thick with the weight of everything unspoken. And then he kissed me - deep, urgent, the kind that leaves you dizzy, the kind that says you're mine without a single word.Complete
His to Remember
"Blood." we make out a figure in a white coat lying on its side, facing away from us. The ground is stained a dark shade of red. I crouch down, pushing them onto their back. Starting down in shock it's a girl. Her eyes shoot open and meet, and my wolf howls in my head, "Mine," I can barely whisper as I look over her body and recognize the dire state she's in. I pull her into my arms as her eyes flutter closed and I run faster than I ever have. ~~~ "What happened out there?" "I don't remember." She looked dazed. She turned to face me "I don't know my name. I don't remember it. I don't remember anything." ~~~ She doesn't know who she is. But she's his-and someone wants her gone. When Alpha Alexei finds a woman bleeding out in the woods, instinct tells him she's more than just a stranger-she's his mate. But she wakes with no memory, haunted by nightmares and a darkness she can't explain. She's guarded, dangerous, and utterly alone. He's protective, powerful, and bound to her by something she doesn't understand. As their connection deepens, so does the mystery surrounding her past. And in a world full of secrets, one thing is certain: Some bonds are written in blood-and some pasts refuse to stay buried.
LET ME HATE YOU
A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.
Kissed by Magic, Claimed by Fate
In a past life, she died a victim of mistaken identity and burning jealousy. But the stars pitied her, weaving her soul into a new world where magic thrives and ancient powers slumber. Reborn into a different world, she vows to live this life to the fullest. But the universe twists wishes in unforeseen ways... Far away, in a fortress of obsidian and moonlight, a man awakens. For centuries, war and command have frozen his heart, but now, it stirs. "She has returned," he murmurs, his voice as cold as the steel crown upon his dark hair. Bound by fate, their souls are tied in blood, desire, and ruin. But will their connection be a blessing or a curse?
