Selene was never meant to want.
Never meant to feel. 
Never meant to be anything other than Unit 03-a warforged creation of the empire, designed for battle, obedience, and silence.
Her hands were built to wield swords, not to tremble. 
Her mind was trained to follow orders, not to question them.  

She was supposed to be perfect.  

She was supposed to follow without hesitation.  

And yet-for the first time, she hesitates.  

It should mean nothing. It should be forgotten. Yet, it lingers-the name Selene, given to her by a rogue sorceress named Nyx.  

A name should not hold power. 
It should not change anything. 
But the more she tries to reject it, the more it refuses to fade.  

It lingers in the quiet moments. 
In the spaces between commands. 
In the shadows of forgotten memories that refuse to be erased.  

And suddenly, for the first time in her existence, she begins to wonder.  

If she is not Unit 03, then who is she?  

If she is Selene, then what does that mean?  

And if she chooses to fight for herself, instead of for the empire-will she lose everything she has ever known?  

War looms. 
Betrayal festers beneath gilded loyalty. 
But Selene's greatest battle will not be fought with her blades.  

It will be fought within herself.  

Because this war is not just one of blood and steel.  

It is a war against the identity they stole from her.  

A war against the truth that terrifies her the most.  

A war against herself.  

And if she loses-Then she was never meant to be Selene at all.

Between Her Hands and God by CertifiedBK

In a world that rarely makes room for girls like her, Deejay Jackson moves through life with quiet strength and untold scars. At 20 years old, she's tall, dreadheaded, masc-presenting, and intersex - born with both softness and edge, both woman and something the world struggles to name without shame. After surviving three years of childhood sexual abuse and growing up in a home led by a single mother raising five kids, Deejay has finally started to find her footing - reconnecting with her family, embracing poetry, and slowly letting herself breathe again. Sharon, also 20, comes from a deeply religious Black home where silence is sacred and image is everything. Feminine, sweet, and still figuring herself out, she's known since high school that she likes women. But her family, especially her mother Miss Eleanor, doesn't make space for that kind of truth. Not openly. Not safely. And definitely not when it comes to someone like Deejay. When a summer of chance reunions and unsaid feelings finally brings Deejay and Sharon closer, the chemistry is undeniable - but so is the weight of their worlds. What begins as stolen glances and heartfelt texts blooms into a slow-burn bond thick with tension, poetry, faith, and desire. But their love is shadowed by fear - of rejection, of judgment, of what it means to be fully seen. Through late-night drives, heated game nights, and balcony confessions, they find themselves inching closer - not just to each other, but to the parts of themselves they've both been taught to silence. This is a story of longing and restraint, family chaos and chosen tenderness, faith and unlearning, shame and softness. It's about two Black women navigating what it means to be whole in bodies and homes that have tried to break them. And when they finally meet in the middle - messy, vulnerable, and unafraid - it's not just about falling in love. It's about fighting for the right to.
Love Me Hard by DiavoloRicoSaint

💬 POV - Selene Virella He flinches when I touch him. Not from fear-no, Adrian isn't afraid of me, and that makes him dangerous. He flinches because he wants it. He wants me. I can smell it in the sweat at his collar, see it in the way his throat works when I step closer. That little gasp when I tilt his chin up? That's the sound I'll chase tonight. I've broken men bigger than him. Stronger. But Adrian... he's soft, fragile-looking, and somehow, I want to cradle him while I destroy him. I could bite him now. Drink him dry. Or kiss him until he forgets his own name. Either way... He'll be mine. --- 💬 POV - Adrian Vale She scares the hell out of me. But it's not the knives or the vampire eyes or the way she can kill a man without blinking. It's how she looks at me. Like I'm already naked. Like she knows the part of me that wants to kneel-wants to obey. I hate that I want her to take control. I hate that I want her to hurt me a little just to prove I can survive her. But mostly... I hate that when she whispers my name, soft and dark like a secret- I'd give her anything. ~~~ Selene moves like a loaded gun - precise, deadly, and made for war. She doesn't fall. She takes. She doesn't love. She marks and moves on. A vampire mercenary with a past soaked in blood and secrets, she's used to commanding rooms and breaking men. Pain is her power. Control is her drug. Then there's him. Adrian Vale, the hacker she's forced to work with, is all soft lips, oversized hoodies, and that wide-eyed look that makes her fingers twitch. He's a walking contradiction - brilliant and awkward, sweet but sinful, trembling under her touch yet burning with a fire she didn't see coming. He submits like a prayer, and it wrecks her. But Adrian isn't just some shy coder-he's got shadows of his own, wounds he doesn't show, and a wild streak hidden beneath his pretty mouth. What starts as manipulation turns into obsession. What starts as fake becomes filthy, then too f**king real. Love Me Hard

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing. That is until, she learns about what he does for work. She knew he worked with Reid Laurent, but she didn't know about what they did. Ambitious, Aaron Florence is willing to do anything to finish a work task, or mission, even if it puts his loved ones in danger. And it did. Now, terrified and pregnant, Trinity doesn't know what to do, how can she co-parent with the man who claimed to protect her at all costs but didn't? - scandalous © r3mismylove 2022 all rights reserved

"What do you want with me," she demanded softly, her voice quavering as her cheeks heated with embarrassment at his reference to her actions of the night before. This bantering, flirtatious side of Zeke was turning her insides into a confusing mush. Zeke stopped his advance, leaving two feet of space between them, his fiery eyes boring into hers with a look of intense determination. "Everything," he admitted huskily. The answer took her by surprise. A flash of heat spread from the back of her skull to her toes, as if she'd been struck by lightning. Every nerve felt like she was on fire. Her wolf hummed with pleasure at the sensations while her human self felt like it was drowning in an ocean of panic. The dichotomy of her split emotions was a chaotic confusion she had never felt before. "You're going to...um," she stuttered, frazzled. Her eyes darted around the room, looking for anything to distract her from the heat in his unbroken gaze, before finally settling on the smooth marble floor under her bare feet. She cleared her throat to start again. "You're going to need to be a little more specific." ~~~~~~~~~~ Selene is the daughter of Corben, Alpha of Blood Fang. She has never left her pack territory, but when she is suddenly accused of murdering her father, she's left with no choice but to abandon her pack in order to survive. Zeke is the young Alpha of White Moon. He has no interest or plan to find a mate, ever. But lately he's been plagued by nightmares of a beautiful woman in danger. What will happen when the woman of his dreams turns out to not only be very real, but a fugitive accused of her father's murder?
