Mason Pines

Mason Kai, a 15-year-old boy of English and Japanese heritage, has spent his life in the shadows of his father’s abandonment. Growing up in a cramped London apartment with his hardworking single mother, Emiko, Mason has always resented football—the sport his father chose over his family. But when a chance encounter with a televised match ignites a spark within him, Mason discovers a passion he never knew he had. As Mason begins to explore the world of football, he faces countless challenges: his lack of experience, the teasing from his peers, and the financial struggles of his mother, who works tirelessly to support them. Despite the odds, Mason’s raw talent and determination catch the attention of a local coach, who offers him a chance to join a youth team. But Mason’s journey is far from simple. As he rises through the ranks, he learns shocking truths about his father’s past and discovers he has a half-brother, Liam Carter, a star player on a rival team. The revelation forces Mason to confront his feelings of abandonment and question whether he’s destined to follow in his father’s footsteps—or forge his path. *Prince of the Field* is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the power of dreams. Through the highs and lows of football, Mason learns that the game is more than just a sport—it’s a way to heal, connect, and find his place in the world. But as he steps into the spotlight, he must decide whether to let the shadows of his past define him or to rise above them and claim his future.

His voice was low, almost a growl, but there was a hint of something else beneath — something that made her heart skip a beat. She swallowed hard, her throat dry. The question hung in the air between them, heavy and tangible. "I… I don't know," She finally answered, her voice barely above a whisper. His lips curled into a smirk, a slow, dangerous smile that sent shivers down her spine. "Liar" he murmured, his voice a deep rumble that vibrated through her. "You want this. You want me." She opened her mouth to protest, to deny it, but he didn't give her a chance. His hand shot out, gripping her chin roughly, forcing her to look up at him. "Do you want me to prove it?" He asked, his voice dripping with challenge. ~+~ Tags: #Revenge #Strongfemalelead, #norape, #reincarnation, #Fakeidentity, #EdwardianEra, #VampireRomance #Smut #Supernaturalpowers #magic #darkfantasy #long-distance pining (The main characters are aware of each other's feelings but can't be physically be together yet.
