Seventeen-year-old Lily Bennett has one dream: to grow up fast. Not to escape her small town or ditch her responsibilities—but to finally be old enough to date the kind of guy she’s always fantasized about: a handsome, wealthy, perfect man who will sweep her off her feet, love her deeply, and give her the glamorous life she’s always imagined. But there’s a problem—she doesn't know where to find him. Her world is small, her connections are limited, and the people around her have no idea what she’s dreaming of. She’s stuck in a high school reality where everyone’s chasing after the same things—and none of them are the things she truly wants. Desperate to break free from her ordinary life, Lily begins crafting a plan to meet the kind of people she thinks can give her the perfect future. But as she steps into a world far beyond her reach, she quickly learns that the dream isn’t as flawless as it seems. The more she chases perfection, the more she realizes that love, self-worth, and happiness aren’t found in the fantasy she’s built in her mind. Will Lily find the love she’s always longed for? Or will she discover that the life she’s dreamed of isn’t what she truly needs? Chasing Perfection is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about longing, self-discovery, and realizing that sometimes, the perfect life is the one you least expect.

But when she met his storm-dark eyes, burning with a hunger that stole the air from her lungs, she couldn’t ignore the heat. She was lost. "I can’t," she breathed. "Even if I wanted to."

Here, everyone knew her as Rowan—the son of the famous Alpha Vale. She shoved him back, breathless, her brow furrowed. "Are you… gay?" Alpha Kieran didn’t even hesitate. He smirked, running a hand through her tousled orange hair. "Even if you’re my greatest mistake..." His fingers traced her jaw, lingering. "I still choose you.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Everything in this story has a purpose, and every detail has an explanation, i.e. nothing is explained with 'it works cause it works'. The more questions you ask when reading this story, the more you will understand later on. If you just turn off your brain to read you won't know why things are happening the way they are. Also, nothing is random. If something feels 'forced' it's meant to be, ask why and I guarantee you will enjoy the novel more. Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself. Even if.. that was never the case... - There is mild gore, and profanity is 'censored' toward the beginning, but not later in the story. - Tags: Action, Discovery, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-fi Sub Tags: Reincarnation, Magic, Non-Human Lead, (Extremely) OP Protagonist, Mystery - New Chapter twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday at 1:30 PM EST!
