She says it loud enough for everyone to hear: “This is my boyfriend.” Time stumbles. People look. Whispers start. And I… forget how lungs work for a solid five seconds. Lena beams, like she just claimed Mount Everest and put a flag on top. Her flag has freckles, dark hair… and is currently sweating through his T-shirt. “Just so we’re clear,” she adds, smirking like she could melt steel, “he’s taken.” Somewhere down the hall, someone whistles. Someone else mutters, “No way.” And me? I’m just standing there, holding her hand like it’s the only thing keeping me bound to Earth. I’ve never been anyone’s anything before. Now I’m Lena Carter’s boyfriend. And the whole hallway knows it. --- Ash Bennett met Lena Carter when they were five. Two stubborn kids fighting over crayons. Even then, something clicked. As they grew up, friendship turned into something deeper. But love isn’t easy. Distance, family, and fate tear them apart again and again. Years later, Ash is a world-renowned author, haunted by the girl who changed everything... and the story he never wanted to write. Because some love stories don’t end. They just change shape.

Han Soorin thought landing the job of a lifetime—makeup artist for LUMEN, the hottest K-pop boy band in the world—would be her dream come true. Billboards, music shows, sold-out arenas… and her ultimate bias, Jung Haejin, standing just a breath away. But reality? A nightmare wrapped in designer clothes. Haejin, the flawless leader adored by millions, is nothing like the angelic idol Gleams worship. Offstage he’s cold, sharp-tongued, and impossible to please. The first words he throws at Soorin? A sneer at her “lack of manners” and a warning she won’t survive a week. Yet every day backstage pulls her deeper into their chaotic world—glittering stages, vicious rumors, obsessive fans, and the suffocating pressure of perfection. She sees the cracks in Haejin’s mask, the loneliness behind the spotlight… and against her better judgment, her hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous. When a scandal threatens to destroy them both, Soorin must decide: walk away from the idol she swore to hate, or risk everything to stand by the man she never expected to possibly... love? ✨✨✨✨✨ [Chapter: Update Daily] [Update schedule: 10+ comments or 2 reviews=1 Bonus chapter]

Lennox cornered her in the hallway, his amber eyes troubled. “You didn’t deserve that.” “Didn’t I?” Olivia challenged. “Wasn’t it you who told the entire pack that the daughter of a traitor should be treated as less than human?” “I was wrong,” he admitted. “We all were.” “Three years, Lennox. Three years of serving as your Omega, of being spat on, of watching you three worship the ground Anita walks on while I’m nothing but a shameful secret.” From the shadows, Levi’s voice emerged. “The Moon Goddess bound us for a reason.” Olivia’s bitter laugh echoed through the corridor. “And you’ve fought that reason every step of the way.” “We didn’t know,” Louis appeared beside his brothers, forming the triangle that had always made Olivia feel trapped. “About your father, about the conspiracy—” “So that’s what it takes?” she asked, voice trembling. “My father’s name being cleared for you to acknowledge me as your Luna? As your mate?” “No,” Lennox reached for her. “It’s seeing your strength, your resilience despite everything we put you through.” “We were cruel,” Levi admitted. “We were wrong,” Louis echoed. Olivia looked at each of them, these three powerful Alphas now regarding her with something approaching reverence. Olivia’s smile held no warmth. “Now I realize some wounds cut too deep to heal. You can’t break someone for years and expect them to be whole for you when it’s convenient.”

Almost Home is a tender, slow-burning story about youth, loss, and the fragile places we belong to before the world asks us to leave them behind. Set against a neighborhood on the brink of disappearance, the novel follows three young people whose lives quietly intertwine as they navigate school corridors, family pressures, unspoken dreams, and the weight of becoming someone before they’re ready. Ha-Yoon carries the noise of responsibility too early, learning how to be strong long before she learns how to rest. Seon-Woo moves through life with careful silence, shaped by hardship and a loyalty that often costs him more than it gives. Hae-Min runs toward the future with talent and momentum, unaware that some distances can’t be outrun. Their bond forms not through grand declarations, but in ordinary moments: late-night walks, shared meals, rain-soaked laughter, and the quiet understanding that comes from surviving the same place together. As time moves forward, choices fracture paths, circumstances test loyalty, and the meaning of “home” begins to change. Love appears in unexpected forms, sometimes too late, sometimes too soon, sometimes quietly, without permission. Years later, when the past resurfaces in unfamiliar ways, the characters are forced to confront what they’ve lost, what they’ve become, and whether some connections ever truly fade. Almost Home is a reflective, emotionally grounded novel about growing up, growing apart, and the lingering pull of the people and places that once held us together, even after we think we’ve moved on.

I’ll break you until the only escape you have is to end your own life,” he hissed, shoving her backward. “Undress, get on the bed, and get on all fours!” •••••••••••••• Sofia was considered a burden and was never loved because she weighed a few pounds more than what was considered the perfect slender figure. Her younger sister, Lola, was the apple of everyone’s eye—the complete opposite of Sofia. Lola had it all: a beautiful face, a slim body, and she was even dating Damien, the soon-to-be Alpha. Everyone believed Lola was destined to be his mate. The future Luna. The perfect choice. Then fate turned cruel. Lola died, and Sofia was condemned for murder when a damning video showed her pushing Lola to her death. Overnight, she became a murderer in everyone’s eyes—even to Damien, the Alpha heir she secretly loved. On the day of her execution, Sofia is offered a choice. Die… Or live as a sex slave to the Alpha heir who hates her. Soon, word spread. Everyone heard about the famous Alpha Damien’s sex slave. Powerful men began to come forward—Alphas, Betas, and allies of the pack. Some were curious. Some wanted a taste of her. Others wanted to prove their strength by claiming what Damien despised. And with each passing day, the line of men grew longer. Then came the real trouble. Damien’s uncle stepped into the picture. A respected Alpha. Calm. Influential. A man no one ever questioned. From the moment he saw Sofia, his interest was clear. He wanted her—and unlike the others, he had the power to challenge Damien. Soon, Damien was no longer the only one laying claim to her. For the first time, he had a real rival.

~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady. She had an appealing beauty with her green eyes that invoked and impelled anyone who gazed into them. She had fooled her villagers so she could live and protect herself and her remaining family from the night creatures and also humans. But what was bizarre of all, was that Perdita had a secret she shared with no one. She had lived in the village since she was little, and over the years, she had been discreet with each move she made. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned. Despite her cautious decorum and fight to stay out of sight, a pair of glacial red eyes falls on her, which followed and refused to leave her out of sight.

"Don't you have self respect as our wife?" Alaric demanded and my steps slowed down before I turned to look at the accusing looks on their three faces. "That is rich coming from you. Last I checked what we have is a contract, there's nothing real. I can do what I like, you certainly have." "But four male strippers?" Rhys spat, the disgust and frustration in his voice amused me. "Have you no shame?" "Absolutely none." I answered with a smirk before walking out and leaving them tongue tied. They had turned me to this monster who would do anything to not only survive but to come on top everytime. Never would I let them have any power over me. * Ivy St John was the princess of North Port, beautiful, accomplished, untouchable.

I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.” Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—” I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was. You wanted me broken. You wanted me to suffer. And I did.” I paused, my voice trembling. “But not anymore.” Louis, who had been silent, spoke softly. “Olivia, we—” I shook my head and took a step back, putting distance between us. “No. Whatever you think you feel, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. You had a choice. And every single time, you chose her. Over and over again, you chose Anita.” Levi shook his head. “We were wrong.” I met their gazes. “Yes, you were. And now, you’ll have to live with it.” With that, I turned away, refusing to let them see the tears burning in my eyes. •••••••• Olivia Parker was once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma—until betrayal shattered her world. Branded the daughter of a traitor, she was stripped of her title, her dignity, and the life she had known, forced to serve as an Omega among those who once respected her. But fate wasn’t done with her yet. On the night of the mating ceremony, Olivia discovered the cruelest twist of all—she wasn’t fated to just one mate, but three. And not just any three. Alpha Lennox, Alpha Louis, and Alpha Levi—the ruthless triplet Alphas who had spent years tormenting her. Bound to a marriage they never wanted, the triplets made her life a waking nightmare. They paraded their lover, Anita, before her, ensuring she never forgot her place, never forgot that they would never want her. But fate has a way of playing its own game. As secrets unravel and buried truths come to light, the triplets begin to see Olivia for who she truly is—not just a Luna in title, but the woman they never realized they needed. Only now, she’s done waiting.

Long-distance relationships never work for her since she is the clingy sort, spoilt, and enjoys her lover's undivided attention. Additionally, she tends to be flirtatious, although her intentions have never been honest. She has a way of intriguing people and then leaving them once they develop stronger feelings for her. Since she travels a lot for her job as an air hostess, most of her past relationships find it difficult to be apart from her. That all changed when she encountered someone who was just as formidable. The most ignorant woman on earth, yet the most passionate lover. She's determined to make things work this time. Regardless of the distance, that woman belongs to her.

At Harvard Law School, winning isn’t ambition—it’s survival. Aria Whitmore has never lost a debate. Raised by a legendary judge, shaped by impossible expectations, she has built her identity on control, precision, and victory. Harvard knows her as the undefeated queen. Losing is not an option—because without winning, she doesn’t know who she is. Then Lucas Vale arrives. A transfer student from Oxford, calm and unreadable, Lucas doesn’t challenge Aria with volume or ego. He dismantles her with silence, logic, and a smile that never explains itself. One debate is all it takes to shake her crown—and awaken something far more dangerous than rivalry. Forced into late-night preparation sessions, public competitions, and ruthless academic warfare, their rivalry turns intimate. Glances become arguments. Arguments become confessions. And every victory pulls them closer to a line neither of them can afford to cross. Because Lucas has a past he refuses to reveal. Because Aria’s family expects perfection—not vulnerability. And because at Harvard Law, falling in love with your rival can cost everything. Told through diary-style confessions, sharp dialogue, and slow-burn tension, this is a story about power, identity, and the terrifying truth that the strongest arguments are never made out loud. She knows how to win debates. He teaches her how to lose control.
