crush

Rowoon has one rule: Avoid all biological inconveniences (humans). At all costs. He’s the school’s resident genius — quiet, focused, allergic to social interaction, and famously known as the hot nerd who is fully convinced that humanity is a failed experiment. His life is perfectly predictable: arrive early, leave late, and survive high school without making eye contact. But everything shifts after an unexpected incident forces him to transfer schools and that is where he meets his worst living nightmare. Haena. The loudest, wildest, most chaotic hurricane of a girl on campus. Sharp-tongued, quick-witted, a bully when she needs to be and a brat when she wants to be— but never, ever a princess. She storms through life with zero apologies and enough energy to exhaust an entire classroom. Life dawns on Rowoon the moment their worlds collide, as his quiet existence begins to tangle, twist with her unbearable presence, unstoppable voice, infuriating confidence. Can he survive it? Will he? Photo credit to *Peng Shiliu*

"I love you, okay?" ... her voice broke as she stared up at Nur's face. His eyes widened, chest tightening as he stared back at her, at the magnitude of her words. Tears clung to Ayse's lashes, his wife who he supposedly contract married. From the very first day they locked eyes, he loved her but not even for a second, he would have thought she would fall for him. This was Deniz Nur Hakan--The sole heir to the multibillion-dollar company, he who built empires with his bare hands. Who had ice in his veins and ruled with an iron fist. Men trembled under his gaze; women drove to him. A man whose ears were deaf to the pleadings of many. Some called him a bastard, and for some he was just their "son" His father, Emre Yunus Hakan, handed him the keys to the Hakan estate. Well pleased and trusted that his son will continue his reign. After the funeral ceremony, his mother had come to him. Conversing to him on state matters and the "future" "How his job wasn't only proceeding his father's company but to also produce an heir" Nur stared at his mother's unreadable face; he shook his head and sternly rejected even a thought on such matters as he recalled past events. Months passed. One fateful night, he received the news. "Mr. Hakan, your mother has passed away" Nur was left heartbroken; he fled from U.K and quickly arrived at Istanbul via his private jet. The car clicked opened as he made his way in the magnificent Hakan estate. Where he would find his "relatives" people who he had lost connection to the day his parents married. They weren't well off back then yet lived happily. He paid them no mind and walked towards the center where his mom's coffin was. Clutching around the coffin, tears sprung out. His mother, the only one who he could rest his head on the shoulders, lazily talk about his day. She had left him. The funeral has ended. Meanwhile Nur sat at his study, blue eyes flickering under the warm glow. Hands stopping as he clicked at a profile. There in the screen showed the picture of a woman, she was a beauty, and he had known it. Sharing their numbers he agreed on meeting her. It was a Sunday. Nur walked around the streets of Istanbul. Phone in hand, talking to the woman on the other end. "I will see you, bye" he abruptly mumbled as he cut the Call. He then made his way in one of the shops. Just as he stepped in--Thud* oh god... a feminine voice came out as he stared at her. The woman mumbled a sorry as she quickly retreated a bouquet that laid on the ground. Her eyes then went up to him, warm, honey like orbs locking with a piercing pair of blues. They stared at each other. As Nur's eyes unraveled her, she was even prettier than the girl he was supposed to meet. I-I'm sorry... (affet beni...) she said again and slid past him. Nur snapped his head, watching her go. Then turned to the front. On the ground was embroidered purse. He then crouched down, hands grazing against it, he clutched at the purse. Inside was an ID: Ayse Yildiz there was the picture of her. Ayse Yildiz... he practiced the name as if he has an obligation to remember it for eternity. Perhaps... his lips twitched, perhaps, he will have to... remember it for eternity...

She came for a cure. She found a cage of desire. Dr. Aethelreda Kaelen is brilliant, controlled, and utterly empty. Her perfect life as a celebrated therapist is a beautiful lie. Desperate to feel, Aeth signs away her agency for twelve weeks, flying to the remote, minimalist fortress of The Praxis Institute in Norway. Her guide is Meric—the hyper-clinical, psychologically lethal master who views dominance as a science. Here, BDSM is not a kink; it is the Praxis, a structured methodology of Surrender Articulation designed to shatter her control and rebuild her from the inside out. He demands her total submission. She demands his emotional break. Meric is untouchable, bound by The Protocol to clinical objectivity. But every intense Cadence—every calculated restraint, every scorching touch in the Subterranean Sessions Chamber—pushes them closer to violating the one rule that could destroy them both: Emotional attachment is strictly forbidden. Now, Aeth's journey is being watched. A dangerous, hidden enemy wants to steal Meric's methodology to weaponize psychological control, and they've targeted Aeth's most vulnerable moments as proof. Can she afford to lose everything she is to the man who makes her feel truly alive? Will Meric sacrifice his entire empire to protect the woman who shattered his clinical façade? This is the ultimate contract: Surrender your freedom, or lose your heart.

Isn’t she a bully? Then why is she suddenly so sweet to me? ... All my life, I’ve remembered her as my nemesis, one of my greatest fears back in high school my wicked desk mate, my evil roommate. I would shiver at the mere mention of her name, ELENA MORGAN, even while trying to keep my composure. There was something about her presence the quiet danger in her gaze, the way she carried power like a crown that always made me tremble. Seven years later, fate played its cruel trick. I met her again, Elena Morgan not as my classmate this time, but as my boss. The heiress to one of New York’s biggest empires, the Solaria Group. I had no choice but to work under her as her secretary. At first, I tried to brace my mind, believing she would still be the tough, ruthless girl I remembered. But I should’ve guarded my heart instead… Because she isn’t just powerful she’s sweet in ways that burn slowly, tenderly, until resistance feels impossible. Slowly, I begin to see the truth the reason behind her coldness in school, and how I had mistaken her quiet protection for cruelty. And now, piece by piece, she dissolves the fear I once felt… replacing it with something far more dangerous, a longing I can’t escape, and a love that I can’t resist.

To everyone in the Full Moon Pack, Hailee Stones was just an omega, the quiet daughter of the pack house cook. No one ever guessed she was more than that. As an omega, she was often overlooked, belittled, and disrespected, especially by Nathan, the Alpha’s son. He always singled her out, teasing and tormenting her in ways she couldn’t understand. Why did he bother to notice someone like her at all? Everything began to change when Callum, the Alpha heir of the Nightshade Pack, transferred to Moonridge Academy to finish his final year. The school was located in Full Moon Pack territory, and Hailee was surprisingly chosen to be his guide. But they weren’t the only ones to cross paths. Nathan's cousin, Dane, the charming and mysterious Beta heir of the Snowmoon Pack, known for always getting what he wanted, also took a sudden interest in her. Dane, who had never glanced twice at an omega before, seemed drawn to the fiery girl who refused to bow her head. Things escalated quickly. Soon, all three young heirs, Nathan, Callum, and Dane, were fighting for her attention. The tension between them grew unbearable, and Hailee was caught in the middle, torn and confused by her feelings for each of them. Then, just a week before her eighteenth birthday, everything changed. Hailee slept with all three of them… on the very same day. And the very next morning, she vanished without a trace. Ten years later, Hailee returned to the Full Moon Pack. But she wasn’t alone. She came back with three boys, triplets, each bearing a startling resemblance to one of the men she had left behind. Now Nathan, Callum, and Dane each claim that at least one of the boys is their son, if not all three. As for Hailee? She has no idea who the true father or fathers are.
