healing

Ashina Claw has spent eight months believing in Darren Kale's promises, giving him her heart, her body, and her trust. So when the legendary Alpha Kendrick Ridge reveals himself as her true mate at the annual Gathering, she does the unthinkable she rejects him publicly, choosing Darren over fate itself. But Kendrick Ridge isn't a man who accepts defeat. The cold, ruthless Alpha has waited twenty-seven years for his mate, and he knows something Ashina doesn't: Darren has been using her, and the heartbreak she's fighting to avoid is inevitable. When Darren proves himself the coward Kendrick always knew he was, and the mate bond threatens to tear Ashina apart, Kendrick makes a controversial choice he forcibly marks her, binding them together permanently. Now Ashina must navigate life in Moonlit Pack as the unwilling mate of an Alpha she's determined to hate, even as her heart begins to recognize what her mind refuses to accept: that sometimes fate knows better than we do or will she run from fate.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child barely spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son slowly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm conversations, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Empire started falling apart. A masked criminal began tearing through the capital, and Julian started waking up with missing memories and an unsettling sense of déjà vu. No wounds. No explanations. Just the feeling that something had happened—and that he was better off not remembering it. He had thought he was the one being hunted. But the higher the Duke's affection climbed, the more frequent the blackouts became, and the more a terrifying possibility took shape. He came here to survive the story. Now, he was starting to suspect the Duke wasn't protecting him from the plot at all… He was protecting the plot from him.

"That the man was not frightening because he was harsh. He was frightening because, in a single brief moment, he made her want to impress him." Octavia just started in a new position at the company. More responsabilities, more work, bigger chalenges. And after two years working in a position she hates just to barely cover the expenses she and her boyfriend have, she was ready for something more. But "more", might be too much soon...

After her fiancé, Anthony Collins, disappears at sea during a violent storm, airline captain Serene Celeste Clarke is left suspended between survival and surrender. The ocean that took him becomes the only place where she still feels close to him. When the search is called off and Anthony is presumed dead, Serene’s grief quietly consumes her. She returns to flying, moves through life with precision and discipline, and learns how to function without truly living. At night, she rents a yacht and drifts to the exact coordinates where Anthony vanished, letting the sea hold the weight of everything she refuses to release. Kai Angelo Parker, a marine biologist, diver, and former Olympic swimmer, notices Serene long before she notices him. He recognizes the danger in her rituals and the resignation in her eyes. When Serene finally gives in to the pull of the ocean, believing Anthony is still somewhere beneath the waves, Kai pulls her back from drowning. He saves her life without knowing her story, and she leaves without gratitude, shaken, exposed, and furious at being seen. Yet their paths continue to cross, and slowly, without pressure or expectation, Kai becomes a steady presence in her life. He doesn’t try to replace Anthony. He waits. Over time, Serene begins to heal, learning to dive instead of sink, to breathe instead of disappear. What grows between them is quiet, unforced, and rooted in patience. Just as Serene is finally ready to name what they have and choose a future, the impossible happens. Anthony comes back. He survived the storm, drifting to a remote island where he lived for years with no memory of who he was. When his identity is finally restored, he returns to San Diego, and Serene chooses him out of loyalty, history, and unresolved grief. Kai steps aside without argument, preparing himself to let her go. As wedding plans resume, Serene realizes she is no longer happy. Her heart belongs to Kai, but she cannot bring herself to shatter Anthony after everything he has endured. When the truth finally surfaces through an honest conversation between Anthony and Kai, Anthony understands that while he survived the ocean, Serene survived losing him. Their chapter has ended. In an act of quiet love, Anthony releases Serene and sends her toward the man who taught her how to live again. Serene runs, still in her pilot uniform, to Kai’s door, believing she may already be too late. What follows is a confession spoken through tears, courage, and choice. Five years later, Serene and Kai are married, living in a beach house surrounded by coconut trees, raising their daughter Isla Kailani, whose name carries the meaning of island, ocean, and sky. The ocean that once called Serene to disappear now reminds her of where she learned how to stay. Dive is a story about grief and survival, about love that waits, love that lets go, and love that chooses life, not because it is easy, but because it is honest.
