If there's one thing that Seraphina White understands, it's people. Maybe not on a personal level, but the psychological. She's a reader, of body language, of speech, and of faces. She never really doubted her hermit-like ways, finding it better to be safe than sorry. However, when approached by a man with answers about her deceased mother, will she come out of her shell? Or will she delve deeper into it?

Main Characters (Updated) Seraphina Wite Twenty-year-old biochemistry student. Quiet, razor-smart, stubborn in a way that scares her professors. She works nights in the city's forensic toxicology lab through a confidential internship she was never technically qualified for. Dr. Monet Holloway Thirty-four. The new supervisor of the forensic lab. Brilliant, dangerously composed, and the youngest forensic pathologist the department has ever hired. He carries secrets in his silence and grief behind his eyes. Updated Story Premise Seraphina is balancing university exams, research, and dead bodies - until Monet Holloway arrives and flips her predictable routine upside down. He becomes her direct supervisor. He's strict, unreadable, and makes her feel something she has no business feeling. And then their first case together lands on the metal table. A body with an impossible chemical signature - a compound Seraphina recognizes from her own university's restricted research vault. When she tells Monet what she sees, he shuts down. "This compound does not leave university grounds," he says. "And no one outside the development team should know it exists." But Seraphina is part of the development team. And someone used her credentials to access the vault. She's being framed - and Monet knows it. Biochemistry students connected to Seraphina's program are disappearing. The compound found in the victims was part of a neurological augmentation study shut down years ago - a project infamous for unethical experimentation. Someone brought it back. Someone linked to her university. Someone using her name. The deeper they dig, the more Seraphina becomes the prime suspect. And the more Monet risks everything - his job, his ethics, his carefully constructed life - to keep her safe.![Heart of Fury - Stone and Fire # 2 [17+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/349318920-256-k805469.jpg)
Heart of Fury - Stone and Fire # 2 [17+]
College? No, this was paradise. Three years filled with partying, not so secret underground drug-deals, and hot-headed men sliding into beds like snakes with no self-control. Things were different now. I wasn't that perfect, frill-wearing angel Mama thought would walk into the house ring-beared. So many things had changed, except for one. Him. He was a disease, one I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. Everytime he's near, I feel myself turn into something I've never seen before. Like there's something under my skin only he is capable of bringing out. He's manipulative, twisted, and completely wrong in every way. I hate him. Yet every night, from miles away, I find him in my dreams. Mikhail Volkov Fuck the patriarchy. Better yet, fuck everything and everyone. It was a game of cat and mouse, me chasing victories every single day. The Bratva's constant want for war was what kept the fuel in my blood, burning up into flames whenever my knuckles made contact with another opponent. In the end, I'm always the one left standing. This fire in my bones, I feel it burst into flames while every dark memory, thought and desire runs into my fists. So many medals, but only the people around me could see them. The real battle was against my head. And maybe, just maybe, I was afraid to admit that I had no chance in winning it. She makes it harder. An angel with wings to everyone else, yet a master at unveiling those devil's horns only when I'm near. There's this darkness, this fire, in the both of us. The only difference is, she's better at hiding it. She was gone, far away, yet there was this tether dowsed in fuel connecting us, one that only lit up when she came back. Every time she's near, I feel the limits surrounding my wrath being tested. Then again, rules are only made to be broken, right? Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*Complete

HIS TESORO✅ [The Sinister Series]
"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOKComplete
Silence & Justice.
Seraphina never wanted to be a hero. She just wanted quiet mornings in Tagaytay, a strong cup of coffee, and laughter from her little sister, Celine. But everything changed when silence became the loudest sound in town - women were disappearing, one by one, and no one seemed to care. As a therapist, Seraphina spent her days fixing broken people. But when her own sister goes missing, she realizes that some things can't be healed - they can only be hunted. Every clue leads her deeper into a dark web of lies, corruption, and secrets that reach far beyond what she ever imagined. Along the way, she crosses paths with Elias - a man too calm for chaos, too quiet for safety. He offers help, but his eyes hold shadows she can't read. Together, they walk a road filled with danger, betrayal, and bloodstained truths. Each night grows colder. Each secret cuts deeper. And the more Seraphina learns, the more she wonders if justice still exists... or if it's just another word used to hide the monsters in power. How far will one woman go to find the truth - and what will she become when she finally faces it?
Fae of Death
**[WARNING: this is bad. Read with your own discretion. Editing work was sloppy and story was a let-down.]** **Completed** Sera thought "aging out" of foster care was her biggest threat.

But she doesn't want to be a queen or a savior-she just wants to survive the courts that see her as a vessel rather than a person. From the quiet of the human realm to the catastrophic fractures of the Eternal Flame, this is the story of a girl who was never meant to be human, and the magic that finally broke her.Complete
