Right now, Kayla’s life revolves around launching her model, Imani Miyaki, into stardom. But her plans are constantly at risk—not just from the dangerously charming Leo, a top model whose ruthless streak makes him as unnerving as he is captivating, but from her own complicated feelings toward Seojin, Leo’s enigmatic manager. Leo’s provocations test her control, and his darker, almost predatory edge keeps her constantly on guard, wary of what he might do next. At the same time, Seojin’s protective nature stirs something unfamiliar in Kayla, though she’s haunted by the fear that his care is born from their history, when he looked out for her in the industry as a mentor or big brother rather than as a lover. In a world where ambition, desire, and danger collide with every photo shoot, Kayla must keep her focus on Imani’s rise to fame, all while navigating the intense forces around her that threaten to unravel everything. ••• "Leo," Seojin's voice boomed through the studio. Everyone stopped to look at the short-haired, towering man who looked more like a military officer than a modeling agent. "Is this where you're supposed to be?" "Looks like your owner's here to rein you in," she smirked against her balled fist, and Leo narrowed his eyes at her. "And yet," he said, leaning close until his lips nearly brushed hers, "I could still maul whoever I please. Even you, Miss Manager." His fingers touched the front of her neck as he mimicked the jaws of a dog. His fingers pressed just enough to remind her of his strength as his gray eyes grew darker and his smile twisted. Kayla stared at him with an unamused look. "Right here," he breathed out with a satisfied exhale. "Seems you need a muzzle too," she whispered back, annoyed, though she did not react abruptly so no one would notice what he was doing. Seojin then grabbed Leo by the collar. He was the only one who could treat Leo with less than kindness without upsetting anyone, as he'd been doing it for a while. Kayla found herself looking up at Seojin, observing his tanned skin and the mole that peeked from his neck when he moved the right way. He still kept his hair cropped so short it looked almost like a buzzcut. "Apologies, Miss Micaela," he said to her, and she felt her chest pound at how his voice softened suddenly when he addressed her. "He's never where he's supposed to be." "It's fine; no one seems to mind Leo's presence," she said, looking away to prevent herself from giving anything away. "But we do have a tight schedule. Right now." "Right, we'll be getting out of your way," Seojin said as he dragged Leo out, who waved at Imani, who only smiled as she continued working. Of course, Kayla noticed. It was what bothered her more. "Imani's ready for the next set," one of the assistants informed her, snapping her out of her thoughts, though Kayla's eyes were still slightly stuck on Seojin's large frame leaving the room. "Good," she replied with a sigh and a smile. "Very good."

Avery: Aside from his mother, Avery is the only omega in a family full of alphas. As the youngest of four, he was strongly loved and heavily supported as he decided to make a name for himself as an artist. However, rather than filling him with warmth and passion like it once used to, he began feeling empty inside whenever he painted or drew. The night before his freshman orientation at the university he was going to attend, he made up his mind to deffer his enrollment and step away from art entirely. At nineteen years old, this one decision would not only alter the course of his future, but lead him to finding the answers to questions he desparatley searched for, "Why do I paint? Who do I paint for? What am I trying to say?". Even after taking a step back from his greatest passion, art is the only thing he has on his mind. Feeling lost and confused, a seemingly meaningless decision and one unfortunate situation leads him into the arms of an alpha he has never met. Though he was in heat, Avery has never been more sure of anything in his life as he was about this man. This was his alpha, and he would do anything in his ability to make sure it stayed that way. Kai: At twenty-four years old, Kai's life has been nothing but difficult. Having been abused by his mother after his father walked out on them as a baby, he could have easily wound up down the wrong path in life. Instead, despite everything he has been through, he graduated high scool and then went straight to work. Now Kai is a modest owner of a bar, living in a studio apartment and sending what wages he can to the mother who blamed him for her life. Harboring deep seeded guilt for the way his mother has lived, Kai swore he would never get involved romantically with anyone, much less an omega, lest he resign them to the same fate of his mother. However, that all changed when he was walking to work one evening and smelled the frightened pheromones of an omega in heat. He followed the scent to a young and incapacitated Avery, and decided that he needed to help him before things got worse. Carrying him back to his apartment, he did everything he could to reassure Avery and make sure that he was safe. He ran down to the corner store that was right next to his apartment and purchased some inhibitors to help with Avery 's heat... But when he returned he quickly realized that they would not work.

It hurts. That's always the first thought that comes to mind whenever I use magic. In a world where magic is everything, where you need it to survive, what happens is it's also the very thing that's killing you? What's the point of having the most mana in the world if your body tries to reject it at every turn? This is the Tale of the mage that has to sacrifice his very body and mind to use mana, the Sacrificial Mage, Asura Emlent.

In 1984, America's streets were already a powder keg of crime and chaos. Then came Sean Rockefeller – and he brought matches to the party. But calling him just another troublemaker would be missing the point entirely. Sean wasn't your typical player in America's underworld. While others fought over street corners, he was building an empire that would touch everything from Hollywood to Wall Street. This wasn't just another crime story. This was about transformation: From a pizza shop worker to legal mastermind From street survivor to entertainment mogul From nobody to somebody who made Hollywood executives sweat From target to the head of an elite security operation From hustler to legitimate businessman One bullet to the head should have ended his story. Instead, it was just the beginning. Sean didn't just survive in America's underworld – he rewrote the rules. His empire would stretch from the courtrooms to the movie studios, from private security to legitimate business ventures. Some called him a thug who got lucky. Others said he was a genius who gamed the system. But everyone agreed on one thing: Once Sean Rockefeller entered the game, nothing in America's criminal landscape would ever be the same. They say America is the land of reinvention. Sean Rockefeller took that idea and ran with it – all the way to the bank.
