Alina Kukushkina

She applied for a simple teaching job. She ended up raising a classroom full of supernatural toddlers and accidentally becoming the Demon Lord’s obsession. -`♡´- Struggling to pay rent and drowning in rejection emails, Alina Hart, 24, is desperate for a stable job. When she stumbles across a strange flyer offering a "live-in teaching position at a private academy," she signs the contract without reading the fine print. Big mistake. On her first day, she learns three things: 1...Her students are not human. 2...One breathes fire. Another howls at the moon. One floats through walls and another eats chalk like candy. 3...The school’s principal is Dante Nightshade, a seven-foot-tall Demon Lord with blood-red eyes and zero patience for mortals. And Alina? She just accidentally scolded the Demon Prince, Dante’s only son. Now, the students are clinging to her. The royal parents are demanding "private meetings." And the Demon Lord keeps appearing in her classroom with a gaze that’s far too intense for a casual visit. -`♡´- Alina: “Please stop throwing fireballs in the classroom!” Baby Dragon: “But Teacher! That’s how we play catch!” -`♡´- Alina: “Luna, you can’t bite people just because they sit next to me.” Luna (growling): “He was breathing near you. That’s MY air!” Alina: “…Please don’t make this a crime scene.” -`♡´- Sable (whispering from her shadow): “I bit the crayon... and it betrayed me.” Alina: “Sable… crayons are not food.” Sable: “…Then why are they so colorful?” -`♡´- Vlad Jr.: “Miss Alina, I have written my will.” Alina: “You’re four.” Vlad Jr.: “And yet, I have already loved and lost.” Alina: “…You lost a cookie.” •••• She wanted a quiet job with crayons and nap time. What she got was magical chaos, clingy monster cubs, and a demon principal who doesn’t understand why her smile affects him more than any weapon ever has...

His wings were torn from him, and he was cast down to Earth as a devil. Now, Damon has one final chance. He has been given a year to live among humans in his cursed form. If he can complete this year without falling in love, his soul will be redeemed, and he will be welcomed back into Heaven. But fate has other plans. Alina Rael was born a fighter.

"Curiosity killed the cat." The sinister man raised the edges of his lips into a grin before injecting the girl's neck ruthlessly, leaving her unconscious.

Read at your own discretion.] **** Nancy Morgan was an average college girl who was bored of her little-to-none thrilling life and wanted something new. But what she got for that was not necessarily what she asked for. She got into a life-threatening accident. Roth Rogers, her family friend, inserted a chip inside her brain to save her. However, it attracted evil people to go after her. To protect her from the upcoming dangers, Roth appointed his adopted son, Samuel Rogers as her bodyguard. However, more than the people who were trying to abduct her for the cutting-edge technology, Nancy's curiosity rang for her bodyguard's mysterious life. Little did she know, her curiosity unlocked many secrets and troubles.... Like Immortality and artificial diseases. Trapped in a dilemma of science and immortality, Nancy must find out more about her bodyguard, and his connection with all of the mess. **** [Excerpt] "How come you have appeared at my house?" Samuel asked, ignoring her question. "And at such an hour? Are your parents aware?" He was bombarding questions at her after her system told her strange things. Nancy was irritated enough to break his neck, but she kept her composure. "Listen here, you little shit, the system is saying you're hurt. And that's what I asked you. Only I ask the questions here." Nancy clarified before jumping onto the bed, an inch apart from him, as she ran her hand from his shirt's collar to the first button. Who wears dress shirts in bed? Before Nancy could unbutton his shirt, he grabbed her hand with a frown on his face. "I do not know what your system told you, but I must clarify that I am not hurt," Samuel said before moving her hand aside. "Prove it, then," Nancy muttered. "The system says it's a thoracic injury. Show me that it's not." "Even if there is one, I believe you have nothing to do with it." Samuel backfired. Right. Nancy had nothing to do with his matters. But she was dying to remove that shirt from him. No, no! Not for any other business. She just needed to see if the gunshot wound was still there or not. "Which means there is a wound," Nancy said, trying to sound unfazed by his words. "I'll help you treat it." She stood up before walking over to the nightstand opposite them to get the first-aid kit. He watched her with narrowed vision, and she stared back from the corner of her eye. {Probability of survival : 50%... 60%... 65%} {The Wound shows signs of healing. Abnormalities detected.} {Platelet count: Normal.} {Platelet function: Faster than normal.} The system kept raising abnormalities from Samuel as if the system could've never guessed for such an existence. It made Nancy wonder, too. She was sure he was another invention. One way, or another… He was involved. [Note: All my novels are fictional.

Some horizons are not drawn in the sky—they're written between people, in the spaces they never expected to share. Alina Brooks didn’t ask for change—but it came anyway. A new city, a new school, and a messy first encounter with a boy who seemed more distant than rude. Allen Clark has always been focused, steady, and careful with emotions. But her arrival stirs something unfamiliar—something he never planned for. Between misunderstandings, quiet glances, and friendships that bloom without warning, their story unfolds—not through grand gestures, but in everyday moments that slowly reshape their world. Beyond the Unwritten Horizon is a heartfelt, character-driven teenage novel about healing, belonging, and the kind of love that grows from friendship and understanding.

Lima tahun lalu, Alina Larasati memiliki segalanya. Sekarang, yang tersisa hanyalah nama keluarga yang ternoda dan dendam membara di dalam hatinya. Setiap malam, saat ia membersihkan lantai marmer Menara Adhitama yang megah, ia bersumpah akan membuat keluarga yang membangun istana di atas abu kehancuran keluarganya itu membayar semuanya. Takdir yang kejam kemudian memberinya sebuah lelucon yang tak lucu: sebuah kesempatan. Damian Adhitama, sang CEO arogan, dingin, dan putra dari musuh bebuyutannya, membutuhkan seorang istri kontrak. Damian melihat Alina tak lebih dari seorang gadis biasa yang putus asa—sebuah bidak polos yang sempurna untuk mengamankan takhtanya. Ia tidak tahu, ia baru saja mengundang seekor pemangsa yang menyamar ke dalam kandang emasnya. Bagi Alina, pernikahan ini adalah kuda Troya. Sebuah tiket masuk VIP untuk menyusup ke jantung pertahanan musuh. Rencananya sempurna: di depan publik, ia adalah Nyonya Adhitama yang anggun dan penurut. Di balik pintu yang tertutup, ia adalah hantu yang mengumpulkan rahasia, siap meruntuhkan kerajaan Adhitama dari dalam. Namun, di tengah sandiwara yang ia mainkan dengan begitu apik, Alina mulai melihat retakan di dinding es suaminya. Di balik tatapan tajam dan perintah yang dingin, ia menemukan seorang pria yang juga terperangkap, seorang putra yang menyimpan lukanya sendiri. Momen-momen tak terduga sebuah sentuhan yang tidak disengaja di dapur yang sunyi, pengakuan yang rapuh di galeri seni pribadi, dan sebuah ciuman publik yang terasa terlalu nyata mulai mengikis kebencian yang telah menjadi perisainya. Percikan api terlarang mulai menyala di antara mereka, mengaburkan batas antara mangsa dan pemangsa, antara misi suci dan perasaan yang mustahil. Alina kini terjebak dalam perang dua front: melawan keluarga Adhitama di luar, dan melawan hatinya sendiri di dalam. Akankah ia tetap setia pada sumpah balas dendam yang telah ia pegang selama bertahun-tahun? Ataukah ia akan menyerah pada cinta berbahaya yang bisa menjadi satu-satunya penyelamatannya, atau justru menjadi kehancurannya yang paling akhir? Dan pertanyaan terbesarnya: apa yang akan terjadi saat Damian Adhitama akhirnya mengetahui identitas asli wanita yang tidur di seberang lorong kamarnya?

" If you don't get married soon...you will have to forfeit as the company's boss..." Alina now has a burden on her. Being the youngest female billionaire, she had to make a deal with a stranger, Jesse whom she barely met and things starts to change for the better...or maybe for that worse.

“Are you crying?” I asked. She shook her head and wiped at her face as more tears were falling. “I’m so stupid.” she groaned. ‘Now I am truly and utterly alone. I should have just said yes to marrying him. If I had just did what my parents wanted, none of this would’ve happened. I wouldn’t have dragged you into this mess.” Without warning, I turned sharp to the side, putting the car to a sudden stop close to the curb. She held the door for balance and looked at me with wide eyes. “Don’t ever say that again. You think marrying a man you don’t love, a man who doesn’t care if he hurts you, just to please your family is the right thing to do?” I turned to her slowly. “That would’ve ruined you.” “But I would’ve had a home to go to, I would’ve been taken care of. Now I have nothing,” she looked away. I reached over and gently took her bruised hand in mine. “You did the hardest thing anyone in your position could have done. You saved yourself. That takes more guts than standing there and pretending to be happy.” I tucked a hair behind her ear. “You think you are alone? You’re not… you have me.” Her lips trembled slightly. “But why would you even help me? I didn’t answer and shifted the gear back to drive. I don’t know why I am doing this? I just feel like I can’t leave her alone, that I must protect her. Am I crazy? _____ Alina Etienne has always lived a life dictated by her parents. She is groomed to be an obedient daughter, a perfect public image, and now, a bride to a man she doesn’t know or love. On her wedding day, crushed by the weight of expectations, Alina does the unthinkable... she says “I don’t” and flees the altar. On the run and scared with nowhere to go, she crosses paths with Mikhail Antonov. A cold, guarded man with a past he doesn’t talk about. What began as a reluctant act of kindness turned into something neither of them expected.

DUSKBOUND A dark psychological thriller. Obsession. Betrayal. A love twisted by shadows. Alina thought she left fear behind when she moved to Los Angeles. But fear found her again—hidden behind a mask, a whisper in the night, and a man whose touch made her tremble. Damon was everything forbidden. Cold. Powerful. Deadly. The mafia heir who watched from the shadows. The murderer who left bodies behind like broken promises. The masked man who once held her down… and marked her in ways no one could see. She tried to escape him. But Damon doesn’t let go. When the truth unravels, Alina runs. And he chases—with obsession in his eyes and blackmail in his hands. He forces her into his world, into his bed, into a fate she never chose. But she fights back. With hatred. With fire. With the last shreds of her soul. --- “Even if you beg for my forgiveness, I will never give it,” she whispered. “I will never forget… and I will never stop hating you for what you did to me.” He hovered above her, drenched in sweat, her words ringing like a death sentence, he starred his body with her marks of nail from the pleasure he had given her without her will. And for the first time, Damon—monster, man, lover—felt regret. “Never forgive me, love,” he whispered, his voice a broken vow. “Because I will never forgive myself.” --- DUSKBOUND is a haunting descent into a love born of ruin—where darkness seduces, and forgiveness may never come. A poetic, dangerous tale of obsession and consequences. Some love stories don’t heal you. They haunt you.

Alina Shen never dreamed of marrying into wealth—much less becoming the wife of the cold and unreachable Leonard Xu, the powerful CEO of Xu Corporation. But when her father’s company faced bankruptcy and her mother’s health rapidly declined, she agreed to the unthinkable: a marriage contract with the man who had loved—and lost—someone else. To Leonard, Alina is nothing more than a pawn to please his ailing grandfather and preserve the family name. He makes no promises, offers no warmth, and demands nothing but perfection from her public image. He doesn't touch her, doesn't speak to her unless necessary—and certainly doesn’t see her as anything more than a contractual obligation. But Alina isn’t the docile wife everyone expects. Behind her quiet grace lies a woman who won’t be broken easily. As she learns to navigate the sharp-edged world of elite society, hostile ex-lovers, and suffocating expectations, Alina begins to find her strength—and the pieces of Leonard’s guarded heart he thought he had locked away forever. When old wounds resurface and desire threatens the careful boundaries between them, both Alina and Leonard must ask themselves: Can a marriage built on duty survive when real feelings begin to bloom? Or will the truth behind their contract tear them apart before love has a chance to grow?

The room smelled like jasmine and secrets. Alina’s eyes blinked open, dazed and dry, the silk sheets soft against her bare skin. She tried to move, but her wrists tugged gently against restraints—not metal, but velvet. A sound—a sigh, maybe a whisper—slipped past her lips before her memories could catch up. Her heart began to race. Where am I? The walls were cream and gold, everything glowing in soft candlelight. A storm rumbled beyond the glass-paned windows, waves crashing in the distance. She wasn’t in the city anymore. This place felt... untouched. Intimate. Dangerous. And then she saw it—etched delicately onto her inner thigh in crimson ink. V. C. Her breath hitched. The letters matched the invitation that had appeared mysteriously in her inbox two weeks ago. An all-expense-paid retreat to a private island, promising indulgence, luxury, and liberation for "those who dare." She’d thought it was a scam. But the tickets arrived. First-class. Then the private jet. The champagne. The man in the mask who whispered, “Everything you desire lives here. If you’re not afraid to burn for it.” Now, lying in this golden cage, Alina knew one thing for certain. She had crossed a line. And there was no going back.

Alina clings to him like possession, like ownership . It was never supposed to happen. They were never supposed to cross this line. But hunger doesn't ask for permission. It takes .
