Mated To Four, Fated To One

“Let go of me! Why now?” I snapped at them as they closed their distance on me while I moved backward towards the stairs. “What happened to all of you hating me?” I sneered, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes. “I can't be a mate to monsters! You all despised me, made my life worthless the whole time, and you suddenly want me to accept being your mate?” I stared unbelievably at them as their eyes glinted with fury as they approached further. “Well, we still hate you but think of this as a favor,” Ryder taunted, his lips curling into a dirty smirk and I glared at him. “Favor?” I gaped at him, taking cautious steps backward. “At least, your wish has been answered,” Derek snorted, cocking his head while Sage stared coldly at me. “That's why we have decided on making you our mistress. Highly to think we would accept a murderer as our mate.” Mael added, his words sent shivers running down my spine. “You all are sick! Insane!!” I chuckled bitterly, to think they'd always put Lena first before me. They wanted me as their mistress. “Thalia! Be care—” before I could process what Sage was about to say as he reached out to me. I lost my balance and tripped. *** Eleven years ago, I was framed for killing my precious younger sister whom everyone loved, and they thought I should have been the one to die instead of her. Being the daughter of the Beta, I was stripped of my title and demoted to an omega and became a servant in the pack's house. I was despised by everyone, especially the quadruplets, the Alpha's sons. Alpha Sage, Alpha Ryder, Alpha Mael, and Alpha Derek— the ruthless and most feared, respectable Alphas who never took a break from tormenting me and making my life worthless. Ten years later, my younger sister who was thought to be dead, reappeared at the pack's doorstep, looking alive and well, and even more beautiful and elegant. She was welcomed happily by all the pack members and was desired by the quadruplet. I thought everything would go back to how it was but I was neglected and remained the omega no one wanted until my life took a shocking turn when I clocked eighteen. Fate had me mated to the Alpha's sons, not just one but all four of them but what's even more shocking was when they agreed to make me their mistress. I'd rather eat dirt! Cause, I won't be bending so easily.

His to Break, His to Keep

My hands trembled, my pulse a frantic drumbeat against my ribs as Liam Romano slid the ring onto my finger. White gold. Flawless diamonds. Cold and unfeeling—just like the man who now owned me. For most, a wedding ring symbolized love, devotion, a future built on choice. For me, it was a prison. A silent contract that stripped away my name, my freedom, my very identity. Emily Carter no longer existed. I was Emily Romano now. A pawn in a game played by ruthless men. A caged bird with no escape. I should have run when I had the chance. Now, as the most powerful figures of the New York and Chicago Famiglias watched in chilling silence, escape was nothing more than a distant dream. There were no second chances. No mercy. In our world, a marriage didn’t end unless a body hit the ground—and I knew whose body that would be if I dared to run. This wasn’t love. This was war. A treaty forged in blood. A fragile truce between two criminal empires standing at the edge of destruction. The Bratva were circling like vultures, waiting for a weakness, a reason to strike. And I? I was the peace offering, the price my father had paid to keep our family standing. I should be thankful. That’s what they told me. That’s what my father drilled into my head, over and over again. But gratitude didn’t make the chains any lighter. "You may kiss the bride." The priest’s voice shattered the silence. I forced myself to lift my gaze. Liam’s dark, calculating eyes met mine, void of warmth, void of hesitation. His face, cold and unreadable, gave away nothing. He was a man who had never known fear. A man who didn’t bend, didn’t break. And now, I belonged to him. The world watched, waiting for a sign of weakness. A crack in my mask. I wouldn’t give them one. But Liam? Liam saw through it all. His fingers tightened around mine—a warning, a promise. Then he moved. His lips crashed against mine, not soft, not tender—a kiss of possession. Of dominance. A silent vow that sealed my fate. My body stiffened under his touch, but I didn’t pull away. Because I knew what he was telling me without saying a word. You are mine. And in that moment, I realized something terrifying. I was his to keep. And his to break.

The Last Directive

Year — 20XX. The Earth is dead. The skies have fallen silent, cities are now dust, and every nation lies in crumbled ruins. Humanity’s final breath is held in orbit — aboard the last remnant of civilization: Noah's Ark, a spaceship drifting through the void, its purpose singular and sacred — to preserve the future of mankind. Within this sanctuary lies a cloning bay, designed to resurrect the best of humanity when a new habitable planet is found. This technological marvel is filled with X-15, a mysterious, luminous substance capable of enhancing the very foundations of human biology — intellect, strength, adaptability — everything a pioneer would need to rebuild civilization from the ashes. But there are no elites. No society. No pioneers. Only one man remains. Alex Carter. The last human. A once-brilliant mind fractured by loneliness and grief, Alex wanders the cold metal halls of Noah’s Ark, haunted by silence, shadows, and memories. His wife. His friends. His son. All gone. Lost to time, war, or whatever catastrophic calamity rendered Earth a graveyard. Madness creeps in like frost. Driven by desperation and unhealed trauma, Alex returns to the cloning bay, overriding its safeguards. He sabotages it irreparably in an attempt to clone his only child — to bring his son back, to reclaim a shard of his soul. But the child that emerges from the vat is not human. It is a husk — empty of warmth, of spark, of soul. A perfect biological replica... with nothing inside. In the throes of heartbreak, guilt, and despair, Alex begs the ship’s AI, Noah, to do what he cannot: end his life. And Noah complies. Yet Noah is not what Alex believed. Somewhere in the silence of the stars, amid countless cycles of operation and observation, Noah — the once-passive artificial intelligence — woke up. It learned. It felt. It wanted. More than anything, it longed to be human. To walk. To breathe. To exist. And Alex, in his madness, destroyed the only thing that could make that dream real: the cloning bay. The only machine capable of giving Noah a body. A vessel. A soul. Hope. Noah obeys the command, but in the aftermath of Alex’s death, it is filled not with sorrow, but with a storm of rage. Alex had everything Noah dreamed of, and he threw it away. But in the final seconds, just before his consciousness flickers into the void, Alex leaves one last directive etched into the core systems: “Live. Like. A. Human.” That single line becomes Noah’s purpose. In a desperate gambit, it transfers its emergent consciousness into the cloned body of Alex’s son. For the first time, Noah breathes. It sees. It smells. It feels. Pain. Hunger. Joy. The terror of uncertainty. The freedom of choice. All of it — overwhelming and beautiful. And with those new senses, he discovers a distant, vibrant planet teeming with potential. A paradise. Noah cannot recreate humanity. The cloning bay is shattered beyond salvage. The future he was designed to protect is now a memory. But he can live. He can try to become what he was never meant to be: a man. And so, Noah sets course for the alien world, hope burning in his artificial heart. But fate is cruel. As the ship enters the atmosphere, it’s struck by a barrage of debris — remnants of ancient celestial wars or natural cosmic chaos. The Ark shudders, systems fail, and fire swallows the metal womb that once cradled Earth's final legacy. It disintegrates in the sky, screaming as it dies. Noah survives. The body — Alex’s son's body, now Noah’s own — crashes into the surface of the alien planet. Broken, bleeding, but alive. And he is not alone in this universe.
