Blood Deep

They killed her twin. They should’ve killed her too. When seventeen year old Aldo Carvalho is murdered, his last frantic phone call to his sister threatens the century old peaceful treaty between werewolves and humans in Sao Paulo. The suspects? The untouchable sons of the city’s elite–the most powerful boys at Souza High. Reina Carvalho knows justice won’t come from a system built to protect the wealthy. It will come from her. Armed with rage and a disguise, she infiltrates their world–but her first attempt at vengeance fails spectacularly. As she gets closer to the heart of the conspiracy, alliances fracture, loyalties blur, and an unexpected connection forces her to question everything—including her own humanity. To avenge her brother, Reina must navigate a web of human corruption and ancient pack treaties, where every ally could be an enemy, and the boy she’s sworn to destroy might be the only one who knows what really happened that night. * “I’ll repeat myself, since you’ve suddenly gone deaf.” Reina stepped closer, her voice steady. “Fernando and I will be sweethearts if that's what it takes to get his confession. You don't get to decide who I spend time with.” “Continue this,” Ruiz’s eyes darkened, “and I’ll have you expelled. Your scholarship would be thrown in the trash along with your fine academic records. You’ll be gone before the first date.” The threat hung heavy between them. Reina knew he could do it–his family owned the school. But she refused to show weakness. Another daring step forward brought her close enough to catch the gold flecks in his eyes, the faint scent of his cologne. “You want to know something funny? I would've seduced you instead. But I already tried to kill you. You’d never believe I’d fallen for you.” Her gaze was ice. “So if you have me expelled, I’ll find Fernando. I’ll cry, act the victim, even endure his touch till he's helplessly, hopelessly, in love with me. And when he's mine, he’ll willingly confess every lie, every cover-up, every detail of what you all did to my brother.”

Unholy Resonance

They say when you hit rock bottom, there’s nowhere left to fall. Yeah, that’s bullshit. I found a way to dig deeper. I didn’t exactly plan to die that night. I just stopped trying to stay alive. Twenty-eight years old, broke, drinking whatever didn’t taste like piss, working a job that barely qualified as “existing.” So when the alarms went off and everyone started running from the Eidolon attack, I just… didn’t. Figured if a monster was gonna eat someone, might as well save it the trouble of chasing. Except I didn’t die. Lucky me, right? Turns out the thing that got me wasn’t your average alleyway nightmare; it was an SS-Rank Eidolon, the kind people make horror movies about and then still underestimate. It was dying too, so instead of finishing me off, it did something no one thought possible. It crawled inside my head. Now I’ve got a voice in my skull that calls itself Dakavoth, sounds like a bored god and talks like he pays for rent in my head. Says we’re “connected,” whatever that means. I say he’s a parasite. We’ve agreed to disagree. So here I am, stuck between being human and something else entirely. Every day’s a balancing act: kill the monsters, pop the suppressants, pretend I’m not one of them. And try not to listen when the voice in my head tells me how much better I could be if I just let go. I’m not a hero. Hell, I’m barely a person. But when the darkness comes crawling out of the cracks again, and everyone else is too scared to move… I’ll be there. Not because it’s right. But because someone’s got to do it, and I already stopped caring if I make it out alive.

The Billionaire Who Owns My Memories

She opens her door to a letter that makes no sense: “Your memories are the legal property of Elyon Drayce Industries.” She has never met Elyon Drayce. She has never signed anything. She doesn’t even remember losing a single moment of her life. But someone has taken one year from her mind, and the billionaire who claims to own it looks at her with a familiarity that shouldn’t exist. Expecting a legal fight, she storms into Elyon’s skyscraper. Instead of lawyers, she finds him—brilliant, controlled, and feared by almost everyone. Yet the moment he sees her, the composure shatters. His voice softens. His eyes follow her like he has been waiting for her to walk back into his world. And she can’t decide what scares her more: that he might be lying, or that he might be telling the truth. Elyon insists she came to him willingly. He swears the missing year was the most important part of her life. He warns that someone is hunting her, and he is the only one who can keep her safe. But he refuses to explain what she meant to him before the memories disappeared. Then the threats begin. Strangers follow her home. Her apartment is ransacked. Someone tries to force their way into her mind. And through it all, Elyon steps in—too fast, too intense, too protective, as if losing her once nearly destroyed him. The mystery deepens when a terrified boy clings to her and calls her “Mom” with absolute certainty. Enemies whisper her name like she’s the key to something they want. Elyon looks at her with a heartbreak he can’t hide. She doesn’t know if she should trust him. She only knows her heart reacts to him before her mind can catch up. Every moment she spends with him feels like falling back into a story she lived once, loved once, and lost. To survive, she must face the truth hidden in the year she cannot remember—and decide whether to walk away from Elyon Drayce, or step into a dangerous past she doesn’t recognize but her heart refuses to forget. Her memories may belong to him on paper. But her heart is a different battle. And in Elyon Drayce’s world, love is the most dangerous thing she can recover.
