    Finn is an omega who has spent years trapped inside a rut house, abused and treated as nothing more than a possession. When he finally escapes, he has nowhere to go, no one to trust, and wounds that run deeper than the ones people can see. Simon Montrose is an alpha who knows how to handle problems. As the family's quiet "clean up man," he's used to fixing messes and making threats disappear. Emotions aren't his strength. Protecting people is. When Simon brings Finn home, the Montrose pack is faced with something they've never had before: an omega in their all-alpha household. Can Finn learn to trust a family built on power? And can Simon prove that not every alpha is something to fear?

    • ad infinitum • (adv.) again and again in the same way; forever • ••• "You touch your eyebrow when you're thinking," I said. "And you chew on your lip," he said, meeting my eyes. I looked away quickly. He stood from his chair, walking closer to me. "Does it not hurt to chew on it all the time?" "No, it doesn't," I said, looking to my feet. It was too difficult to make eye contact with him, especially when he stood so close to me. "I don't touch my eyebrow," he said quietly. "I touch the scar." I nodded, feeling my mouth go dry. "We all have our quirks," he said. "And I feel yours is more destructive than mine, Miss Y/L/N." "It's not destructive, not really. I know what hurts and what doesn't," I rambled, peeking up at him, finding his eyes heavy on my face. I averted my eyes. "Look at you," he muttered. "You can't even look at me." I felt as though my entire body was trembling as his hand grazed mine. "I thought you weren't shy, Miss Y/L/N," he said quietly. ••• How do you describe perfection? Imperfections that you wouldn't mind dealing with for the rest of your life; ad infinitum. Y/N Y/L/N is the newest hire at Hogwarts. Having graduated from Ilvermorny, she struggles to find a teaching job. After all, the demand for Latin teachers isn't all that high. But she manages to secure a job at Hogwarts where she'll be a teacher's assistant. Little does she know, she'll be a whole lot more. Immediately, she is drawn to the newest professor at Hogwarts, a kind if not sullen man. The job that she only took out of necessity becomes something that she wouldn't trade for anything. She'd do it forever if she could; ad infinitum. *** Thank you to @TheHalfbloodBlack for correcting the Latin titles!

As Avni Mehta-the most hated woman in the company-I know exactly how this story ends. Public humiliation. Career destroyed. Heart broken. The End. My plan is simple: Stay away from the CEO. Stay away from the heroine. Stay alive. But the more I try to avoid the story, the more everything changes. And when mysterious messages start appearing from someone who knows I'm not supposed to be here, I realize one thing: Maybe the villain was never the villain. And maybe the CEO was never supposed to fall for me.

    After the war with Hybern, Velaris is still learning how to breathe again. Naia arrives in the Night Court carrying too many secrets, too much old magic, and a glamour carefully built to make her look ordinary. She is not fae. She is not human. And she is certainly not as helpless as she wants everyone to believe. When Amren decides that boredom is a perfectly acceptable reason to hand her over to Cassian for training, Naia is pulled into the dangerous warmth of the Inner Circle: morning coffee, sharp jokes, hidden libraries, old wounds, impossible magic, and a home she never meant to want. Cassian is not looking for another complication. Naia is not looking to be seen. Unfortunately, the Night Court has a habit of finding the truth beneath every mask. A slow-burn ACOTAR fanfiction about secrets, healing, friendship, desire, jealousy, found family, and choosing love without fate deciding it first. Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction inspired by the ACOTAR universe. I do not own ACOTAR, Prythian, Velaris, the Night Court, or any canon characters. All rights belong to Sarah J. Maas.

Before he became the person everyone warned me about. He was just Sarah Cameron's older brother. Someone I grew up around. But life changed us.
