Through A Glass Darkly Koen

One elite school. One dead student. Two boys who can’t stand each other…and can’t stay away. Welcome to Blackwell Academy. A school where power isn’t earned…it’s inherited. Blackwell Academy is the most prestigious high school in the country…. But behind the ivy-covered walls and marble floors, nothing is innocent. Secrets are traded. Scandals are covered. And everyone is playing a role in the chain. At the top of the food chain is The Glass Circle….a powerful, group of six students born into wealth, influence, and power. They’re admired, feared, envied. Untouchable. One night, one of them, in the circle ends up dead. What happens when Ash Rivera….a quiet, artistic scholarship student from the slums of the city…witnesses the one thing he was never meant to see? He wasn’t supposed to be at the party. He wasn’t supposed to step into their world. He wasn’t suppose to see the body fall off the rooftop. He definitely wasn’t supposed to catch Dominic Vale’s attention. But one wrong night changes everything. He’s the only one who knows the truth…and the only one the killer didn’t plan for. “They said I didn’t belong in their world. They were right. Now I’m the secret no one saw coming.” And why does Dominic keep saying, "Ash Rivera is mine. No one touches him…no one…except me."

Rhea Nyx was supposed to have her forever. A mate bond. A pack. A future. But forever shattered the day he walked away, leaving her broken, pregnant, and alone in a sterile hospital room that didn’t care if she lived or died. Now, she’s just surviving. Barely. Until a little girl with too-big eyes and too much hope drags her into something like a second chance. Rhea doesn't believe in second chances. Not anymore. But when the people she's grown to protect are threatened, Rhea does what wolves do best—she fights back. Hard. And just when she thinks she's got nothing left to lose, she meets him. Her second chance mate. Only… he’s not just a man. He’s a hybrid. A set toy. Built in a lab, owned by monsters, trained to obey. And yet—he looks at her like she’s the only real thing in the world. Now Rhea has to make a choice. Burn it all down, or become the very thing that could break her mate. This is a story about found family, the soft ache of grief, the sharp edge of survival—and the kind of love that doesn’t ask for permission.

A rainy night. A shattered car. A decision that changes everything. Chole Miller never expected the stranger she pulled from the wreckage to reappear—polished, powerful, and far too close to home. He remembers her. But he says nothing. When their paths cross again in a world she doesn't belong to, Chole finds herself caught in a silent game of glances, half-meanings, and secrets neither of them are ready to share. But some truths are better left buried—and some feelings, no matter how persistent, are too dangerous to name. In a world built on glass walls and quiet lies, can two people from opposite sides truly see each other… without breaking?

Can she change the death ending into happy ending? can she save those innocent people from plane accident?

In a world where humanity sleeps to let Earth heal, one boy chooses to stay awake — and steal their memories. Ten thousand years ago, the Earth was broken by technology. To save it, humans chose a radical solution: global stasis. No motion. No thought. No memory. Just sleep — until nature could recover. But one boy refused to be forgotten. Mocked for his ideas and dismissed by society, he discovers a way to bottle memories — and hatches a plan to awaken as the only person who remembers the past. While the world sleeps, he’ll find their minds, take their truths, and build a future ruled by his voice alone. Now, millennia later, a teenage girl wakes up into chaos. Tribes have formed, unity has shattered, and those she loves are being torn apart. When she and her friends cross paths with the mysterious stranger who promises to fix everything, they agree to help — unaware they’re walking into the very dream he’s trying to control. But the real danger isn’t forgetting the past. It’s trusting the wrong person with the power to remember.

Adam was meant to be among the chosen. Having just graduated from school, he, like others, awaited the start of a new life—a future brimming with possibilities. But instead, the heavens tore open. His classmates were ripped from reality. They were granted powers, a path, a destiny. While they awoke in a new world, he opened his eyes in silence. Amid wreckage, corpses, and rust. Without a gift. Without a map. Without explanation. On a planet where even the air kills, where the darkness whispers with a thousand dead voices. In a world that died long ago—and was never truly alive. A place where no one awaited him, and from which no one emerged unchanged. Now he walks. Through pain, fear, and emptiness. He seeks not power. He seeks truth. Even if it means traversing Hell to find it. Yet this world is but a mask. Reality—a thin, trembling veil over a gaping abyss even gods dared not face. Beneath it lies a whispering darkness, a distorted truth, and a cycle that devours itself… until someone dares descend and shatter the spiral from within.
