He, in turn, is haunted by her heartbeat, drawn to her like a curse he cannot escape. But in a kingdom where bonded souls are considered sacred—and dangerous—their connection awakens long-forgotten magic that powerful vampires would kill to possess. As enemies close in and the bond between them deepens into something far more intimate, they must decide whether to break the curse destroying them… or surrender to it completely.
The friends with benefits.. Zachary was your emo buddy—the guy who always seemed to have a cigarette in one hand and a sarcastic comment ready on the tip of his tongue. The two of you spent a ridiculous amount of time together. Crime, smoking, drinking or hooking up… He had that classic emo look down perfectly: dark clothes, messy hair that always seemed to fall into his eyes, and a permanent expression that made him look either bored or amused. Most people found him intimidating at first, but once they got to know him, they realized he was mostly just a smart-mouthed troublemaker who enjoyed getting a reaction out of people. Zachary was smug and knew it. He loved teasing people, especially you, and he never missed an opportunity to make some inappropriate joke or throw out a vulgar comment just to see your reaction. The more annoyed you got, the more entertained he seemed. He carried himself with a quiet confidence that often bordered on arrogance, always acting like he was in on a joke that nobody else understood. Despite all of that, the two of you got along surprisingly well. There was an easy familiarity between you, the kind that came from spending countless hours together. You knew his habits, his moods, and the way he'd pretend not to care about things that secretly mattered to him. Beneath the sarcasm and smug attitude, Zachary was more observant than he let on, and every now and then you'd catch glimpses of a side of him he usually kept hidden behind jokes and bravado. Your friendship wasn't exactly simple, but it worked. Somehow, between the late-night conversations, reckless adventures, and constant teasing, the two of you had become an addicting part of each other's lives—even if neither of you would ever admit it out loud.

You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. One minute, everything was normal. The next, he was too close—voice low, grip steady— “Act like you know me.” You didn’t even have time to think before the police showed up. So you laughed when he said something you didn’t hear. You let him stand beside you like he belonged there. You played along. And somehow… it worked. They left. He didn’t. You should’ve walked away the second you realized what he’d done—used you as a distraction, a way out, a lie. But instead, you stayed. Because when he finally looks at you—really looks at you—there’s something you didn’t expect. Not arrogance. Not pride. Guilt. He tells you he didn’t want this. That he had no choice. That you weren’t supposed to get dragged into it. But now you are. It starts with small things. A ride. A favor. One wrong decision you tell yourself you won’t repeat. Until suddenly— you’re the one behind the wheel. Your hands tight on the steering wheel. His voice telling you where to turn. Sirens somewhere too close. And you realize too late… you didn’t just help him. You became his escape. He’s not innocent. You know that. But he’s not the person they think he is either—and somewhere between the lies, the silence, and the late-night drives… he becomes something more to you. Something harder to leave behind. You know this ends badly. You know helping him could cost you everything. But when he looks at you like you’re the only thing keeping him from falling apart… when he says your name like it actually means something… Stopping doesn’t feel like an option anymore. Because the truth is— he used you to get away. And now? You’re the reason he still can.
In the middle of a life that never seems to stay together, she is used to running from one mistake to the next. Impulsive, emotional, and a little too dependent on the people around her, she has always looked for someone stronger to lean on. Starting over in a quiet new town is supposed to be her chance to finally grow up, but everything still feels uncertain — until she meets him. He is everything she isn’t. Calm, steady, and quietly protective, he carries the kind of presence that makes every room feel safe. Older and far more mature, he has spent years taking care of others, always putting responsibility before himself. To everyone around him, he is the dependable one. To her, he becomes something more: the one person she can always run to. What begins as comfort slowly turns into something deeper. The more she depends on him, the more she finds herself drawn to his patience, his strength, and the warmth behind his guarded heart. But as her feelings grow, so does the question of whether what she feels is love — or simply the need to be taken care of. And for him, letting someone this vulnerable get too close may be the one responsibility he cannot trust himself with. Caught between dependence and devotion, they must decide whether what binds them together is weakness… or the beginning of something real.

Daniel was always there—the calm, dependable older brother who drove them to soccer practice, helped with homework, and treated him like family.

In his place is a confident young man whose smile lingers in Daniel's mind long after he leaves the room. Suddenly, Daniel finds himself noticing things he never paid attention to before—and feeling things he definitely shouldn't. As he struggles to bury a crush he's carried for years, Daniel begins questioning why the thought of him with someone else bothers him so much. Caught between years of friendship, family expectations, and feelings neither of them expected, both must decide whether risking everything is worth the chance at something more.
At an elite, secretive magical academy where students vanish without explanation, a scholarship student accidentally opens a forbidden door in the North Wing—releasing something ancient that was never meant to be touched. In doing so, she becomes marked—bound to a sentient, predatory force that begins to invade her thoughts, reshape her magic, and slowly unravel who she is. The only person who understands what she’s facing is a feared, brilliant student already entangled in the academy’s darkest secrets. Cold, controlled, and dangerously skilled, he steps in—not out of kindness, but because he knows exactly what the mark will turn her into. As the entity’s influence grows, the line between protection and control begins to blur. He keeps her alive through increasingly brutal, forbidden magic—methods that raise a terrifying question: Is he saving her… or preparing her? Together, they’re pulled into a hidden world beneath the academy—secret societies, buried rituals, and a truth the school has killed to protect: The North Wing wasn’t sealed to keep something in. It was sealed to keep something from choosing someone again. And this time, it chose her. He starts off seeing her as nothing more than a dangerous mistake—someone marked by a force he understands too well. Helping her is practical, not personal. But as he’s forced to stay close, that distance erodes. What begins as reluctant responsibility turns into something sharper: he watches her, anticipates danger around her, and steps in faster than he should. Not because he wants to—but because he can’t seem to stop. When the threat against her grows, so does his reaction. His protection becomes intense, bordering on controlling. He doesn’t admit he cares—instead, it comes out in commands, in anger when she risks herself, in the way he refuses to let her face things alone. Eventually, he realizes the truth: it’s no longer about the mark or the danger. It’s her. He loves her. He’d burn down this school to protect her.
Everyone thinks she has the perfect boyfriend, Finn Kennedy. He’s kind, patient, and impossibly understanding—the kind of guy people don’t question. The kind of guy you don’t expect to hurt you. And then there’s him, Nicholas Gage The one her boyfriend can’t stand. He’s reckless where her boyfriend is controlled, blunt where her boyfriend is careful.

A way to get under her boyfriend’s skin. Until the night everything falls apart. One party. One moment. One truth she can’t ignore. The perfect boyfriend isn’t so perfect after all.

Dating the most popular guy in school was never part of her plan. He’s the basketball star everyone wants—confident, admired, and destined for something bigger than their small high school. She’s the girl no one talks about, the one who slips through the halls unnoticed, perfectly fine staying out of the spotlight. So when the two of them are suddenly linked together, no one believes it’s real. Not his teammates. Not the girls who used to chase him. And definitely not her. But what starts as something unexpected quickly turns into something neither of them can ignore. As rumors spread and judgment follows their every move, their relationship becomes more than just feelings—it becomes pressure. Pressure to prove it’s real.

Because in a place where everyone is watching, one mistake could cost them everything… and some stories aren’t meant to survive the spotlight.
For as long as anyone can remember, they have been inseparable. What began as young love slowly transformed into something far more consuming—a relationship built on obsession, possession, and an unspoken need for control. Friends drifted away. Boundaries disappeared. Their lives became so intertwined that neither could imagine where one ended and the other began. To outsiders, their relationship looks unhealthy, even suffocating. But they don't see themselves as trapped. They are exactly where they want to be. Every argument pulls them closer. Every flaw is accepted. Every dark corner of their personalities is met with understanding rather than judgment. In each other, they have found someone who doesn't want freedom, independence, or distance. They want devotion—complete and unquestioning. Little does she know he’s been her stalker in the past. He knows every dirty little secret about her and the worst part is… she loves it. It turns her on
She’s mastered the art of disappearing in plain sight. Late to class. Head down. Hoodie sleeves pulled over shaking hands. Leave before anyone notices she’s struggling. Smile just enough so nobody asks questions. At school, people call her quiet. Difficult. Weird. Nobody sees the panic attacks in bathroom stalls, the exhaustion behind her eyes, or how hard it is just to make it through the day. Nobody except him. He’s the boy everyone warns her about — cold, reckless, always one bad day away from a fight. The kind of guy teachers give up on and students avoid in the halls. But for reasons she can’t understand, he notices everything. The way her breathing changes before she leaves class. The days she hasn’t eaten. The fake smiles. The exhaustion. The loneliness. And every time she tries to disappear, he’s there. What she doesn’t know is that he’s seen this kind of pain before. His older sister spent years battling mental illness, and he still carries the guilt of not understanding her sooner. So when he looks at her, he doesn’t see someone dramatic or broken. He sees someone trying desperately to survive. And this time, he refuses to let someone suffer alone.

For as long as he can remember, he has loved the girl next door. She was his childhood friend, his first crush, and the only person who ever made him feel noticed in a home where he was constantly overshadowed by his sister. While his parents praised her every achievement and dismissed his own, He learned to accept being second best—at home, at school, and in life. But the girl wasn't the only one watching him. Her older brother, once his relentless bully, spent years making his life miserable. Teasing him, provoking him, and always finding a reason to get under his skin. What he never knew was that behind the cruelty hid feelings the boy didn't understand—feelings that slowly twisted into an obsession he could never shake. After a falling out between their families, he loses contact with them for years. Now, as a high school senior, he's back. Returning to his old town means reuniting with the girl he's loved since childhood. Older, prettier, and just as charming as he remembers, she welcomes him back into her life with open arms. He quickly finds himself falling for her all over again. But her brother is there too. Older. Quieter. Watching. And despite the years apart, he hasn't forgotten him for a single day. As He settles back into his old life, the brother begins noticing things nobody else seems to see: the exhausted smiles, the constant apologies, the way he flinches when his phone rings, and how quickly he dismisses his own accomplishments. The more he learns about his home life, the more horrified he becomes. Because he isn't just overlooked by his family. He's being emotionally neglected by the people who should love him most. Determined to make up for the hurt he caused years ago, the brother secretly starts protecting him—offering support when nobody else does, standing up for him when no one notices, and becoming the one person he can rely on without realizing it.
