Drawing. It's Gabrielle's only passion, the one that keeps her going when she's sinking.
She only has a year left to spend at school with all her friends, a year to get mediocre marks. A year she won't be spending in France.
Her parents sent her to a private school in Edinburgh.
She's timid and tends to blend in, and it's without wanting to that she attracts Maela's attention, a pest who intends to make her life a living hell.
At Theon's first party of the year, Gabrielle is publicly humiliated, leading her to hide in the gardens. That's when Taehoon, a Corean mercenary, appears.
The bad news is, he won't have time to kill the schoolgirl before he's arrested.
The good news is that he'll be doing community service at the academy, which is short of teachers.
While Taehoon plans to do his job, he doesn't plan to fall in love with his target or reconnect with the past.
As for Gabrielle, she just wants to get through her year in peace and get her diploma, but how can you do that when the wolf is out to get you?

KILLER'S WEB
"Arturo, listen...." "Acid," he corrected. I waved it off. "Arturo, this has to stop," "What has to stop?" He asked nonchalantly as always. "This!" I swing my hand, gesturing between us. "We can't continue doing this. It has to stop. We can't be together. It is not right." He rolled his eyes. "I am older than you. There is a ten years gap between us, can't you see that?!" He shrugged. "Feels like ten minutes," I scoffed in disbelief. "Feels more like ten seconds," he said, adding to my frustration. "What the....are you even understanding the point i am trying to make right now?" He got on his feet, letting out at sigh. "Listen, Mami, I didn't have breakfast today because my belly and taste buds were craving something else." I furrowed my brows in confusion. What the.... "Can you do me a favor, get your hot self on that desk behind you and spread your legs so I can have an indecent breakfast?" 〽️〽️〽️ When twenty-five-year-old Arturo Giovanni, infamously known as "Acid," the stone-cold killer of the Vikings Mafia, set his eyes on his professor's new assistant, Annie Santiago, a thirty-five-year-old single, inexperienced, and old-fashioned beauty, something in his lifeless heart, which thrived on ending lives, stirred.

Falling for Forbidden
She was once the cherished daughter of a respected professor, but now, she is nothing more than a shadow in the city-poor, struggling, and alone. Whispers follow her wherever she goes. Beauty like hers, they say, is a curse for a girl without power. They assume she'll do anything for money. But she is fire, untamed and unbroken. The university, once her father's legacy, is now under the control of a powerful man-a man who watches her with a cruel smile, waiting for the moment she will break. He holds the strings to her fate, dragging her into a silent war where wealth and control always win. Then, he returns. The boy who once played by her side, the boy who vanished the night of the tragedy, is back-no longer a friend, no longer the boy she knew. Now, he stands at the front of the lecture hall, wearing the title of Professor. His cold, unreadable eyes lock onto hers. His touch lingers like a ghost from the past. He helps her in the shadows, yet she feels his presence in every downfall she faces. Does he still hold the warmth of their past, or has he returned only to watch her drown? As secrets unravel and desires ignite, she must decide-fight against the power that seeks to destroy her, or surrender to the darkness lurking within the man she once called her own.
The Fall of The Veil
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete

Parts from chapter 5 ! I rushed toward the restroom, locking myself in a stall. Surely, he wouldn't follow me here. "I'll find you anyway, Red," his voice echoed through the bathroom. "Don't make me drag you out." My heart raced as I heard him checking each stall, his footsteps growing louder. Then, my door burst open. "Here you are," he said, smiling like the devil himself. I screamed and hurled my purse at him, but he caught it effortlessly. "Woah, easy there, kitten. I'm not here to hurt you. At least not yet." "What do you want from me?" I hissed, backing away as far as the cramped stall would allow. He leaned in, his hand sliding up my shirt while the other gripped the back of my neck.
