Cooking Without Fire

In a world governed by dynamics of Alphas, Betas, and Omegas, 25-year-old Kian Vale, a fiercely independent Omega, has always lived by one rule: never depend on anyone but himself. Tired of the relentless cycles of his heat, Kian has mastered the art of enduring it alone. Working as a marketing strategist at a prestigious firm, he thrives on logic, discipline, and control. But when his carefully constructed world shatters during an unexpected heat at the office, everything changes. Enter Adrian Blackwell, his cold, dominant Alpha superior who seems to exude power with every step. When Kian’s heat spirals out of control, Adrian intervenes, igniting a relationship that is as consuming as it is destructive. With a toxic blend of passion, possessiveness, and manipulation, their connection tests the limits of desire and control. As Kian wrestles with his growing dependency on Adrian and the darker sides of their dynamic, he must ask himself: Is he willing to lose himself entirely for love, or can he reclaim his independence without losing the bond they share?

"I had fought before. I had bled before. But this was different. This was madness. One moment, I was home smiling and drinking with my brethren, the next… I'm met with a graveyard of empty eyes and frozen faces. And now these mongrels hunt me through the storm, blades drawn and voices sharp with laughter. Echoes in the snow continue to call my name as I drown in snow and steel. Were they guiding me? Or had I already lost my mind?" A World Without Reflections is a novel steeped in Eastern fantasy and Dark Souls-like desolation, following Chael, a warrior chief who returns to a home that no longer breathes. The voices are gone and the fires are cold. They still stand, but they do not live. And somewhere beyond the frost and silence, unseen hands pull at fate’s fraying threads. Shadows move in the snow. Mirrors lie. Figures from the past emerge, and with them, a question that should have never been asked.

Sylas, a roguish thief with a dangerous reputation, enters the royal palace with one goal: to steal a priceless pendant that could change the course of his life. What should have been a simple heist turns into a tangled web of deceit when he crosses paths with the fiery princess, who is unwilling to let him get away. The stakes grow higher, and in a world full of secrets and betrayals, both must face the consequences of their actions. When an unexpected threat forces them together, Amiya and Sylas are bound by circumstance, their fates entwined whether they like it or not. Forced to cooperate in a deadly game of cat and mouse, they must learn to navigate their differences, facing both external enemies and their own growing conflict. With tensions running high and trust in short supply, they quickly realize that the line between enemy and ally is razor-thin—and sometimes, even the greatest adversaries can become the most unexpected allies. In a world where power and betrayal go hand in hand, survival means forging uneasy alliances, but the flames of animosity are difficult to extinguish, and sparks of passion begin to burn in their midst. Can they escape the forces that threaten them both, or will their differences consume them entirely?

It is partially based on the real world, but I recommend you treat it as a fantasy world since there will be things that don't exist in the world as we know it and I write the story, characters, etc as I go. It may occur that things don't add up. Of course, I try my best to let everything make sense. This is my first novel, and English is not my native language. Because of that, there may be typos, grammar mistakes, and so on, even though I try to limit those by using Grammarly. I will try my best to upload 2-3 chapters a week, but I can't promise that I will be consistent with the updates, but I will still try my best :)
