What would you do for immortality?
Any alchemist would answer the same. Anything. When they finally capture the siren whose blood holds the key to their eternity, the alchemists have no inhibitions about using force to get her to willingly part with it.
After centuries of evading the alchemists, Roseza finds herself waking up in a cell and is forced to endure mental and physical torture under her captors as she tries to find a way to escape before breaking. But, the longer she stays there, the more the alchemists begin to make Roseza question herself and who she's protecting. The longer she's there the longer Roseza wonders...
Even if she is rescued, can she ever go back?
Callum Marx is contacted for the first time by his father, Hades, to find his missing siren and rescue her from the alchemists before she cracks under them and allows the alchemists to rampage through the underworld. Unable to seek aid or advice from anyone, Callum must stand alone on his quest to find the nameless siren before it's too late.
No god or mortal is to be trusted.

Hades
They say gut feelings are your guardian angels, Ella Thomas will soon find out that hers was leading her to something she could never imagine existed. Hades has watched over Ella since the day she was born, he was her guardian angel from the depths of the underworld. For centuries he's waited, waited for someone to love. He vowed to himself to protect Ella and only watch from afar. She was so innocent and so human, he couldn't take that away from her. For 20 years he kept his promise, for 20 long and grueling years he watched from afar, until something happens, something that Hades can't ignore. He makes a hasty decision and leaves the underworld, heading to Earth where he knows she will be. But there's a catch, the very person, or should I say God, that Hades despises the most will stop at nothing to destroy his happiness, even if it means killing someone so harmless and oh so very fragile. ....... "How do I look?" He muttered, stepping out of the bathroom. The room seemed increasingly smaller with his large stature in it. I nearly gasped, why did he have to look so good in those grey sweats? I swallowed, trying to act unaffected by his beauty, "Convincingly human." ....... 1st in Love - 13 June 2021 4th in Romance - 13 June 2021 1st in Gods - 13 June 2021 1st in Dark - 30 September 2021 4th in Darkness - 30 May 2022Complete
Obsession Unveiled
Damien, an average and unassuming student, walked the halls of his school like a ghost-present, but invisible. He wasn't the top of the class, nor the bottom. He didn't draw attention, and he liked it that way. Blending in gave him space. Space to watch. Space to observe. Because while the world barely noticed Damien, he noticed her. Annette. She was the only ripple in the still water of his quiet life. There was something about her-something undeniable. She was elegance wrapped in confidence, untouchable but painfully real. And to Damien, she was more than a girl. She was an obsession. A purpose. Around others, Damien maintained the perfect illusion. Calm. Collected. Just another face in the crowd. But when it came to Annette, that illusion cracked. His quiet demeanor masked something darker-something sharp. Possessive. Dominant. It wasn't just that he liked her. It wasn't even that he wanted her. He needed her. As if the universe had carved her from the very core of what he lacked. He watched her like a predator stalks prey-not out of malice, but with a deep, feral instinct to claim. He noticed everything. The rhythm of her footsteps. The tilt of her head when she was lost in thought. Every person she talked to, smiled at, laughed with. And deep inside, something twisted every time she gave her attention to anyone who wasn't him. No one suspected. How could they? Damien was forgettable by design. But behind that forgettable smile was a mind carefully weaving a future where Annette belonged to him-wholly, unquestioningly. In his thoughts, there was no version of her life that didn't revolve around him. Every passing day without her acknowledgment was a glitch in the reality he was building. He didn't just want to be close to her. He wanted to own her heart. Her mind. Her choices. Not in a way she would resist-but in a way she'd learn to love. He'd make sure of it. After all, love was just another form of control when done right.Complete

When Luke and Derek start acting strange, Bryn and Silena start trying to figure out what's going on and if it has something to do with the strange feelings they've been getting.

Ember And Snow
Aerion curled into Damien, clinging like something broken. Damien stroked his hair in silence, gentle, aching. "Aerion?" he whispered. Aerion pressed closer, unwilling to let go. "You have to leave." "Why?" came the muffled reply. "I want to stay. With you." "It's not right," Damien said. "To want the one who hurt you. To bleed for the hand that broke you." "And is it right to let go of the only thing you've ever known?" Aerion's voice trembled. "You hurt me. I know. But it doesn't matter." Damien's voice turned low. "Because I've been your whole world for a while-your joy, your ruin. I broke you. And still, you cling to me. Not out of love, but because pain feels familiar." Damien paused. "I once felt that for you." Aerion looked up, desperate. "Then how did you let go?" Damien met his eyes. "I didn't," he said. "You left." ---------- Aerion and Damien had wounded each other beyond repair-but neither ever truly let go. Millennia ago, Aerion betrayed Damien, and died for it. Now, in another life, they meet again. Damien saves a boy from being sacrificed to a god-not out of mercy, but bloodlust. He didn't know the boy was Aerion reborn. Not at first. But once he saw it-once he knew-his cruelty sharpened. Damien never speaks of the betrayal. He doesn't need to. His silence is thick with rage... and something else. That old, cursed fondness, crawling back in. Aerion, unaware of who he once was, cowers before the titan. But still, he slowly found himself drawn to him. Because in this life, Damien-cruel, cold and brutal-was the kindest one he'd ever known. -----------Complete
