I thought I knew who I was.

Gabriel Alvarez. Twenty. Son of a poor family in Albuquerque. Big brother. Protector. Future cop. My life had been built on long nights of work, endless study, and the unshakable promise that one day I'd wear a badge strong enough to keep my family safe.

But then the threads started unraveling. Whispers of a world I wasn't meant to see. Names spoken like curses. The Caruso family. The Sicilian Mafia. 

Everyone in the city knew they ruled from the shadows. What no one knew, what I could never have imagined, was that I carry their blood.

I am the brother they lost fifteen years ago.

Every step I take now feels like a betrayal. To the family who raised me, who trust me with their lives. To myself, who swore I would fight men like the Carusos.

And when the moment comes, when the truth tears everything apart,  I don't know which side I'll stand on.

The law I've devoted my life to... or the brothers who claim me as their own?All Rights Reserved

Broken Hands by oluna15

Grayson's life seems full of roses, but beneath the petals lies a tangled garden of inner battles and shadows that linger even after Charlie is gone. Each day feels as heavy as the last, yet he pushes through the pain and the trauma. Troubles arise as he faces the true damage Charlie left behind from years of abuse-everything he touches seems to fracture, from his romantic relationships to his bonds with friends and family. Haunted by flashbacks and nightmares, Grayson sinks deeper into despair, making choices that threaten to tear his world apart. Old secrets surface like thorns, ready to reopen his wounds as he confronts the chilling truths about his father and the mystery surrounding his mother's death. Even with Julian and Russell standing by him, he feels trapped in a cage meticulously crafted by Charlie's wicked hands. Will he discover the strength to break free before the shadows close in and consume him whole?

She wasn't just a child, She was a miracle. Born after generations of prayers and silent yearning, Tejo arrived like the dawn after a long night in the mighty Suryavanshi dynasty. A family built on strength, pride, love and tradition found its heart softened by a pair of tiny hands and eyes that held galaxies. She was their light, their laughter, their moon wrapped in stardust. Even the sternest of men melted before her innocent smile, their proud heads bowed to the little girl who unknowingly ruled them all. But fate, ever watching, never plays fair. One night everything changed. One moment, giggles, blessings and love filled the air. The next, silence. A cruel twist no one saw coming, no one could stop. The light vanished. Just like that. Gone. No warning. No goodbye. Just a void so deep it swallowed the entire family. The Suryavanshis, once unshaken and mighty, crumbled under the weight of their grief. Her absence became a shadow that haunted every sunrise, her name a whisper too sacred to speak aloud. Years went by. Time moved forward, but hearts stayed frozen in the moment she left. And then... the winds shifted again. Tejo returned, no longer the pampered princess she once was. At a young age, she faced countless emotional hardships, far away from the warmth of her family one she didn't even know existed. Life tested her in ways she could never have imagined. But beneath the surface of her silent pain, she found strength. Hiding her emotional wounds behind a calm exterior, she grew resilient not just for herself, but for the unbreakable bond she formed along the way. That bond became her anchor, her reason to keep moving forward. This is the story of Tejo, a girl destined to shine, who found her light even in the darkest of times. Take a deeper look into her journey, one of pain, strength, family and love.......✍️🏻❤
