Jules has always lived half in a dream, sketching strange patterns no one else seems to notice. But when his friend vanishes and the city itself begins to twist around him-billboards flickering with his name, graffiti that watches him back-he can no longer laugh it off as exhaustion.
Then he meets Silas. Enigmatic, magnetic, and impossibly certain of Jules's worth, Silas navigates him into the hidden world layered beneath the streets: the Reflective City.
It is alive, filled with beauty and danger-where glowing murals shift with passing trains, and statues stalk those marked with THE SIGHT.
With only a sharp-tongued fox called Ash at his side and Silas guiding him deeper, Jules is forced to confront what he is, what the city wants from him, and how far he'll go to protect the people he loves.
But every choice in the Reflective City carries a price, and once Jules steps across its threshold, there's no way back.
Themes included in the book but not limited to:
• Urban fantasy with surreal and unsettling imagery

Ashes of tomarrow
Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?![No Place For Me | [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/181466534-256-k47105.jpg)

His tight-knit circle became a lifeline, something he never imagined he'd be lucky enough to have. Escaping the shadows of his past should've been enough... but some truths don't stay buried. His secret is darker than most. And while his friends might seem loyal now, he knows what could happen when they learn what he really is. He's seen it before. No one's ever gotten close. Not until Mark. Mark is everything Alexander never expected: popular, confident, disarmingly kind. And for some reason, he's determined to become his best friend. With each shared secret and lingering glance, the walls Alexander spent years perfecting begin to crack. But some instincts don't die quietly. Which version of himself would he become? If he wants to hold on to this new life, Alexander must become someone else. Fate has other plans.

Hallowed Bonds of Forbidden
In the vast, dark reaches of the world, two souls are bound by fate, each shattered in their own way but destined to collide. *Ezra* was once a revered ancient god, a figure of light and justice, but centuries of wandering the mortal realm, marked by betrayal and failure, have twisted him into something darker. He is now a mere shadow of his former self-an ethereal force that drifts between realms, rejecting the heavens, the hells, and everything in between. His heart is cold, his soul fractured, and he seeks only to be left alone in the shadows, hiding from a world that has abandoned him. *Ethan* was once-a-dead alpha wolf, resurrected through forbidden magic after sacrificing his own wolf spirit. Bound to a female wolf spirit, he finds himself trapped in a mismatched bond that leaves him feeling incomplete and isolated. Raised within the powerful, protective walls of the Hell Lord's kingdom, Ethan knows little of the outside world, his every move watched, his future set in stone. But one thing calls to him-the chance to escape, to experience a world beyond the confines of his sheltered life. And that chance comes when he crosses paths with Ezra, a shadow who might just be the key to everything Ethan has ever longed for. Drawn together by an inexplicable pull, Ethan and Ezra's relationship begins as a game of tension and teasing, a battle of wills as they circle each other with barely contained desire. But beneath their banter lies a deeper connection-a bond that neither of them fully understands. As their worlds collide and their feelings deepen, they must navigate a dark journey filled with dangerous trials, where the line between light and shadow blurs, and the price of their love could cost them everything. In a world where gods, werewolves, and demons all struggle for dominance, can two souls so broken ever find solace in each other? Or will their passions lead them both into ruin?
The Wolven King {18+} (Sample)
[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.

Wish's Desire
Wish knew the rules of survival better than most-learned them young, with bloodied knuckles and empty stomach nights in Midas's unforgiving underbelly. The city was a glittering lie, its promise of fortune thin as a hologram, reality lurking beneath: grime, corruption, and the unspoken brutality of those who wielded power like a blade. He'd climbed from gutter rat to Desire's most coveted possession, a sleek predator hidden behind the polished facade of a high-priced escort. At Desire, he learned the art of manipulation, sharpened his charm into a weapon, and turned his own body into a carefully constructed illusion, perfected to draw out the dark desires of Midas's elite. Now, those same skills were keeping him alive-but barely. Hunted by government agents and Solstice Corp enforcers, Wish was caught in a tightening noose, each breath of Midas's polluted air heavy with paranoia. Corporate mercenaries stalked his every move, and the gleaming towers around him felt more like prison walls, closing in inch by inch. Yet Wish thrived in chaos, his heartbeat strongest in the storm's center. Survival was never enough; he needed answers-why was he the target? What sinister game was playing out behind the corporate curtains? His only path was straight through the web of secrets choking the city. Trust was scarce currency, allies fleeting shadows. He would leverage every trick he'd ever learned, twist every whispered confession collected in Desire's velvet rooms into weapons of his own. The hunted would become the hunter. Wish knew the odds were steep, but then again, danger was his oldest friend. And in Midas, beneath neon-lit skies bleeding into smog-choked streets, the only way out was to fight-not just to live, but to tear down the gilded cage around him, piece by corrupted piece.Завершенная история
