Julius didn’t know what to expect when he stood in front of the grandiose gates, luscious fields, and beautiful students dressed in their pristine uniforms looking like a million bucks.

Silas grinned mischievously. “That’s a tough one.” Julius noticed the sly smile on Silas’s face and realized he’d been teased. “Just kidding~” Silas said, chuckling. “Well, Agares is a bit of a mystery. He’s strict but has a laid-back side too. He’s cold most of the time but can be surprisingly kind in rare moments?” Julius couldn’t help but laugh at the contradictory description. “Why do you make it sound like you’re unsure?” “Because he really is a puzzle. He’s not a bad guy, though. He keeps to himself and mainly communicates through the vice leader, Epaphras. He’s insanely popular, not just here but at Saint Ambracia Academy too. There have been incidents where girls from the academy tried to sneak into East Laurence just to see him. It’s crazy.” “Anyway,” Silas said, “you probably won’t interact with him much unless absolutely necessary, so don’t stress too much about it.” That should’ve been the case, and yet, he found himself interacting with the dark haired boy more and more, his admiration slowly started to change into something more. “Do I like him?” He couldn’t help but ask himself. …………………..

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

And we both know you loved my siste" His eyes darkened, his smirk vanishing. He stepped forward, and I stepped back. One step. Two. My back hit the wall. He leaned in close, his breath warm on my cheek. "Who told you," he said slowly, voice as sharp as a blade, "that Matteo *Antonio* has ever had feelings?". I froze. His eyes were like ice, cold and clear, but so much more dangerous. The kind of cold that burned. And suddenly, I felt so stupid. So stupid. All this time, I'd assumed—*no, Gianna told me.* She told me Matteo had feelings for her. She told me he loved her, that she had him wrapped around her little finger. She told me he would have chosen her if she'd stayed. But she was wrong. Because I could see it now, written in his face, in his eyes, in the way he looked at me like I was just another piece on the board. Matteo Antonio didn't *love*. He didn't feel anything at all. "You thought I loved her, didn't you?" His voice was soft, deadly quiet. "Is that why you've been walking around here with your head held so high?" His eyes flicked to my lips, my throat, before landing back on my eyes. "Let me make this clear, *cara mia*." He leaned in so close I could feel his lips brush against the shell of my ear. "I don't love. Not her. Not you. *No one.*" I sucked in a sharp breath, my chest rising and falling so fast it felt like I might choke on it. He pulled away just enough to look me in the eyes, his face unreadable. "Go to bed," he said, turning away from me. His voice had gone cold again, as if the storm had passed. "Tomorrow, you'll learn what it means to be my wife." I stayed there, pressed against the wall, too stunned to move. And as he walked away, I felt it settle into my bones. I wasn't his wife. I was his *prisoner.*

My heart races and I look away shyly but he lifts my chin up with his finger. I admire his beauty,drowning in the rush of love and awaiting a toe-curling kiss. I hear his words; “Don’t be silly.

In a desolate future where Earth has been subjugated by the Alki, an advanced species with unimaginable power and cold, unyielding logic, created by Anu, human kind's newest Goddess, society's remnants live as an objectified, broken people. The Alki view humans as inferior beings, fit only to serve their new masters. Ray Malek, once a simple cook in a small establishment is betrayed by his friends and thrown into Heathens Prison. A place where the only way out is as a slave. Sold to the sadistic Salazar a high-ranking Alki noble known for his detached, almost clinical cruelty Ray must find a way to survive his new reality. Stripped of his freedom, his identity reduced to that of an unwilling sex slave, a prized possession to be paraded as both a trophy and a warning. Salazar is everything Ray despises: calculating, arrogant, and unshakably confident in the Alki's supremacy. To Salazar, Ray is no more than an amusing plaything—a symbol of humanity's futile defiance. Yet, beneath the carefully curated facade of apathy, Salazar finds himself intrigued by Ray's unyielding spirit and refusal to fully submit. In defiance of all logic, Salazar begins to admire the very qualities he sought to crush. As weeks turn into months, Ray and Salazar are drawn into an intricate, dangerous dance of wills. Their interactions are fraught with tension, anger, and moments of vulnerability that neither can ignore. Ray, haunted by memories of his lost comrades and his own complicity in this degrading system, finds himself questioning his hatred for Salazar, even as he clings to him for survival. Salazar, in turn, faces an existential crisis, torn between the icy detachment expected of his kind and the inexplicable emotions that Ray stirs within him. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling Earth, where rebellion smolders beneath the surface and the Alki's rule is not as absolute as it seems, Poison Ties explores themes of power, freedom, and the complex, often painful nature of love. As Ray and Salazar navigate the fragile, shifting balance between their roles as captor and captive, they must confront the oppressive systems that define their world—and decide whether their bond can transcend the tais that bind them both. But in a world built on domination and control, love may not be enough to bridge the chasm between human and Alki—or to save them from the forces that would see them torn apart.

My revenge will be as fierce as the beast within me.' 'Hiding from my pack, I served the ruthless Lycan King. His offer was simple—one night in exchange for saving lives. But one night became a battle of hearts, and I can’t lose again—not even to love.'

I thought I was doing well—until one day, the King made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. “Do you want me to save those people? Then give yourself to me tonight. Be my woman. I desire you, and I know you feel the same. Just once, Raven, only once…” But it wasn’t just once. Passion turned into something deeper, something neither of us could deny.
