They know why Madam Jiang only smiles when others whisper. They know why certain “ordinary beasts” lower their heads in her presence. Ruined? Please.

Paradise. A place I’d only heard whispered about in stories too bright, too perfect, too impossible to be real. Yet running for my life through the Forest Packs dragged me straight into the arms of the one place I never believed existed: Novaterra Pack. The paradise of shifters. The kingdom that rivaled human nations. The home of the Alpha King himself. And somehow… they accepted me. A runaway. A branded traitor. A boy with no pack number, no family, and a past wrapped in blood. I told myself I was here temporarily. Just until they figured out who I really was and tossed me to the wolves like I deserved. But then I saw him. The man with the red eyes. Kastiel Novaterra. The Alpha King who built paradise with his bare hands. The one man I should never look at, never want, never crave. His presence terrifies me. His gaze burns through my lies. And his scent makes my knees weak in ways I never believed were real.

Surviving the Incubus is a deeply personal and unflinching account of one woman’s journey through fear, silence, trauma, and faith. Raised in a Christian Otjiherero family, she grew up surrounded by both belief in God and whispered stories of spiritual darkness. But nothing could prepare her for what began in childhood—nighttime experiences she could not understand, could not explain, and could not escape. Too young to speak, too afraid to tell, she carried a secret that shaped her entire life. By day, she was like any other child—laughing, learning, growing. By night, she faced something that left her confused, isolated, and deeply shaken. As she grows older, the silence follows her into adolescence and adulthood, where she begins to confront difficult truths about trauma, consent, and survival. Through real-life experiences, personal reflection, and accounts from others who have described similar phenomena across cultures, she searches for meaning in what she endured. But this is not just a story of suffering. It is a story of endurance. After years of pain, vulnerability, and unanswered questions, she finds strength in her faith. Drawing closer to Jesus Christ, she reclaims her voice, her identity, and her purpose. Choosing a life set apart, she devotes herself to healing, spiritual clarity, and hope in the promise of restoration. Raw, reflective, and deeply moving, Surviving the Incubus explores the intersection of trauma, belief, and resilience—and the unbreakable human desire to find light, even in the darkest nights.

Everyone knows J-hope for his laughter. For the way he fills rooms with light, energy, and warmth. But Jimin begins to notice the moments when the smile lingers too long - when joy feels rehearsed, and silence slips in where laughter once lived. Missed calls. Empty pauses. A presence that feels distant even when he's right there. As days pass, Jimin finds himself listening more closely - not to what is said, but to what is avoided. Because some pain doesn't ask to be seen. It hides behind routines, brightness, and the fear of becoming a burden. Beneath the Brightest Smile -- a story of quiet unraveling, emotional restraint, and the unsettling realization than the loudest people often suffer in silence - and that noticing might be the first step toward saving someone who learned how to ask for help.
