    In a society rebuilt from the ashes of the Great War perfection isn't just expected-it's law. Every woman turning 20 is entered into The Marriage Process: a government-mandated matchmaking ritual where four men are hand selected by the government to ensure that their children would be perfect in the new society. It's a tradition that has never failed-until the arrival of Juniper Burks. Labeled a government mistake since birth and abandoned by her own parents, Juniper never thought she'd have to partake in the government-issued love game. She believed that since she was unwanted by the people who were suppose to love her unconditionally, so much so that they left, she would simple be exempt from participation. After all, no one would want her failed genes reproducing in society bent on becoming the strongest once again. But Juniper is dead wrong. Not only is she brought into the process, she is assigned the top four, most elite men to win her hand. Is this her redemption... or has the government issued another experiment bound to fail?

    almost a hundred years ago, the beasts in the shadows, known as werewolves, made themselves known, their attack was so unexpected, no one even knew they existed till the night sky was blazing a deep orange with the fires from destruction across the world as they completely ravaged different areas of powers. Humans were no match to counter them so suddenly, countless lives were lost on both sides, mostly on the humans. Humans were more resilient than the beasts expected, meaning the war that began lasted much longer, surprising the murderous creatures that had sought to crush any and all resistance from the humans. Their beasts were determined to make the world run on their instinctual and genetic hierarchy, to them it was the best way to live one with the world, saying it was a given right of life from their precious 'moon goddess'. But despite losing the main war for control, human determination was not so easily squashed out, a resistance was set up in areas that lacked wolf control over the globe. The world was split and changed to suit the bests, pack territories drawn out, all unified under the council of unified supreme alphas, each having control over a different continent, though luckily for humans wolves liked to stick in their communities, which left many islands and smaller land masses open for human control, only visited once every year by patrols, meaning the rebellion had different hidden bases all over. But what happens when the alpha supreme Damien Steele, the scariest of the seven supreme alphas, finds his mate. A human girl, and not just any human girl. Ashley Harper, otherwise known as the rebellions 'ghost' Will the two learn to work out their differences after finding out the moon goddess has linked their souls as mates, both too stubborn to submit easily. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I know you're here little ghost...I can smell your scent everywhere" "then why don't you try catching me, coward" "oh darling...with pleasure~"

    "In a world where children are portfolios and failure is a 'System Leak,' she was engineered for perfection-until she fell for the error." In the Enclave of New Providence, perfection isn't a goal-it's a debt. Beyond high stone walls, the Creed of Divine Equity treats families as corporate portfolios and children as "Optimized Assets." In this network of elite schools, you are either outperforming the generation before you or you are a "System Leak" waiting to be erased. Child #3 is the District's crown jewel. The middle daughter of a family fighting for their seat on the National Council, she is a "rare-breed" academic engine and D1 basketball prospect. They call her the Lion of God. Her body is a tactical shell; her mind is a biological processor. Both were engineered to pay a debt she never created. But the machine glitches when a scholarship student arrives from the city beyond the gates. A "theological error" in a leotard, the newcomer is a ballerina who doesn't believe in the math of human worth. With a "Low Yield" dream of a performing arts college, she is the unauthorized variable the family has been trained to liquidate. When the Academy's Vice Principal assigns her daughter to "optimize" the newcomer through a brutal mentorship, the "Machine" begins to fracture. The dancer's unauthorized grace is a virus in the athlete's programming. As late nights over textbooks turn into a forbidden pull, the athlete unearths a truth hidden in the heart of the Creed: A life that can't be measured is the only one worth living. With the National Conference approaching and the pressure to keep the family solvent reaching a breaking point, Child #3 must decide: Will she remain the altar where her soul is burned, or will she become the variable that crashes the Creed forever?

    They call them Anomalies. Superpowered individuals feared as disasters waiting to happen. To the powerless majority, Anomalies are ticking time bombs. To governments and corporations, they are assets to be controlled... or erased. So humanity fights back-developing technology capable of suppressing their abilities. The world calls it protection. Anomalies call it a leash. As fear hardens into pride, tensions rise. Alliances fracture. And the line between survival and extinction begins to blur. At the center of it all is Nolan-a quiet, haunted young man whose powers defy understanding, even his own. Marked by the world he never asked to threaten, Nolan is forced into a future he never wanted. Because this war isn't about good versus evil. It's about belief versus fear. Mercy versus control. The world doesn't need a hero. It needs Him.

Trapped in a deep-sea station miles below the surface, the crew discovers that the pressure outside is nothing compared to the crushing despair within. There is no way up, no way out, and the oxygen is running low. They wanted to survive together. Now, they'll have to learn how to die together.

    When death stops being inevitable, it becomes procedural. Medical science has extended the human body beyond it limit, erasing illness, aging, and most forms of natural death. Survival is no longer uncertain, but meaning is. In a society that treats immortality as progress, the question is no longer how long a person lives, but when an end is necessary. Theos is a doctor whose work inspires trust. His hands are steady, his decisions precise, his presence reassuring. Patients feel safe under his care. Institutions depend on his competence. No one questions the authority that gathers around him. Not even Theos himself. As expectations accumulate and responsibility mounting, the boundary between moral and belief begins to blur. What was once mercy was dictate. What was once unthinkable becomes practice. When death no longer arrives on its own, someone will decide how it enters. And Theos has never learned how to refuse it.
