As Ray undergoes brutal physical therapy and attends chaotic group sessions, he attempts to rebuild his fractured identity. But his brutal history, embodied by the relentless pursuit of vengeful rivals and the sinister reappearance of his estranged, psychopathic twin brother, Jay, threatens to drag him back into the life he despises.

I stare at Matt's face as he looks down, concentrating on the game. I can tell he's so angry. He's holding it in his jaw, he's clenching his teeth. He's up in his head and I don't know what's going on up there but I just know it's not good. Even if I get him back out now, I know that he's going to overthink everything later tonight. "Matty, it's ok." I whisper. He immediately looks up and finds my eyes. His blue eyes are bluer than normal. Impossibly blue. Not even a gray blue. But a pure, brilliant blue. "It's not ok, Rach. I fucking hate him." His swear catches me off guard a bit. But my eye contact doesn't waver. "Thank you." "You're welcome." My favorite color immediately changes to blue. --------------- Two childhood friends have spent a lifetime battling demons. Will life ever give them a break?

Author : Aiden N Viviane /Aiden Black Cover : TimerZill Translator : Andr33a87C This book is non-profit Fantasy/MPreg The Origins Verse 1st Some use their powers to protect, while others use them to cause destruction. "Superheroes" are therefore born to uphold principles of justice. "Dean Meredith" is the heir of an ancient military family. His public persona is that of a handsome, arrogant young second lieutenant, while behind the scenes, he is "Commander Joe," a daunting superhero feared by villains. Everything in Dean's life is perfect-wealth, fame, and an unending entourage of beautiful women-yet he remains uninterested, focused solely on the mission of combating evil and upholding his family's honor. Until the day he meets "Halo," a young man with an extraordinarily beautiful face. Dean, who has never been interested in romance, unexpectedly loses his first kiss to this beautiful stranger. The young man is unaware whether Halo is a nefarious villain or someone else entirely; all he knows is that beneath that stunning facade lies a wicked spirit. Halo destroys everything Dean once held dear, trampling all over his dignity without remorse. Dean hates this person intensely... yet for some reason, his body and deep-seated desires show a contrary reaction. This story is in the style of "seme" (the dominant partner) being beautiful and "uke" (the submissive partner) being strong. - Note: Explicit sexual scenes are described directly and contain coarse language, to enhance the reading experience according to content ratings.
