The Astraea Protocol is the final, catastrophic failsafe of a dying galaxy.
For eons, the ancient Astraea Order governed the stars through the Resonance-a hereditary psionic field capable of bending minds and reshaping matter. But when the Sovereign Imperium unleashed the terrifying Void Arbiters to burn their temples to ash, the monks engineered a secret, desperate contingency. They encoded a quantum-psionic command directly into the bloodlines of their strongest adepts: The Children of Resonance.
Now, the protocol is waking up.
Jonn'e-thon is a hardened mercenary just trying to survive the gritty neon slums of the Imperium. O'Shae Celeste is a rogue alien running from a past that could destroy them both.
When a chance encounter binds their fates together, they trigger a dormant power hidden deep within their blood. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they must outrun the Void Arbiters and learn to trust each other before the protocol tears their minds-and the galaxy-apart.

The Donna
At just a few months old, Myra was stolen in the dead of night; torn from her father, her brothers, and her twin. Escaping the orphanage, surviving the streets, and blind to the people that 'saved' her, Myra didn't just endure. Myra clawed her way out, and she burned everything in her wake to ashes. Seventeen years later, she's not just alive. She's powerful. Dangerous. Untouchable. Myra built her empire from the blood she's bled, the blood she's spilled, and secrets she'd kill to protect. It's not just her identity she's concealing - it's the cracks. She's back. But she's not the little sister they imagined. Can she keep everything hidden when a twist of fate drops her into the lap of her so-called family?
𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥 ✔ 𝑱𝑨𝑺𝑷𝑬𝑹 𝑯𝑨𝑳𝑬
𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥 Raven Swan has always lived in the quiet shadows of Forks, a town that seems too small for secrets, yet strange enough to hide them. At eighteen, she's spent her life under the roof of her father, attending high school and moving with her own circle of friends, never needing the Cullens, never wanting their attention. She knows them by name, has glimpsed them from a distance, and has felt the whispers of their strange presence-but she's never truly been part of their world. Raven is calm, observant, and quietly formidable. She doesn't need to prove herself; people notice because she is. Her mysterious aura makes her seem untouchable, but beneath the surface lies a heart that craves connection, even if she doesn't let it show. For decades, Alice Cullen kept a secret: a vision of a girl who didn't yet exist, destined to be the anchor for Jasper's war-torn soul. When Bella Swan arrives in Forks, it all started. The moment Raven finally gets paired in a project class with the Jasper Hale, the vision finally becomes a reality. As an empath who has spent a century drowning in the emotions of others, Jasper finds an impossible "calm" in Raven-a silent strength that challenges his control and offers him a peace he never thought he deserved. While their connection was foretold long ago, the path through the supernatural dangers of the Olympic Peninsula is anything but certain. Together, they must navigate the thin line between a predestined fate and the choice to love, proving that even the most turbulent heart can find its home in the one person Alice saw coming a lifetime ago.Complete

He held the gun against her temple. She pounded on his chest, fists flying. "You killed my father! You... you monster! I hate you!" He didn't flinch. After a moment, his patience snapped. "Enough!" he shouted. "No more words." "Yes... I killed your father. I did." "Stop screaming!"he barked. He grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look at him. "Now... it's time to get married. Let's go. The priest is waiting. We don't want to make him wait, do we... hmm?" She spat on his face. He just smirked. Licked the spit from his lips, rolling his tongue. "Mmm... tasty," he said, voice low. "You should've kissed me directly. No worries... we'll do it after our wedding." He leaned closer. "Do you want to see his dead body... hmm? One last look at your father?" She whispered, trembling, "Please... let me go." " You don't want to? Okay... let me throw his body away then." "No! I... I want to see him, please. He is my father !" "Good girl," he said, smirk still dark. "Now... come on. The priest is waiting." 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦.
