Beaufort Lancaster has always known himself to be a sinner—a man with little to no intention of marriage, a man, or better, a lover who enjoys the thrill that comes with women bound to duty—especially those who belong to other men. However, what was once a game, a thrill, shifts dangerously once he meets Lady Louisa Lancaster, his brother’s wife—Andrew Lancaster. Andrew Lancaster is mad. Not mad in the way men are described as eccentric, temperamental, hard nuts to crack, illogical, impediments, imbeciles... No! The man is truly lost to the grip of madness. His world and reality align in different diversions. His marriage to Louisa is a hollow arrangement, void of warmth or desire. Yet, bound by duty and title, she remains his! Beaufort never thought himself capable of true love—until her. What begins as a fascination, mere attraction to another married woman, transforms into something unbearable. He thinks about her more often than he should. He watches her more closely than is right. He delights in spending more time with her than he should. And the breaking point comes when he finds himself in her room, out of a slight argument, one fateful evening. A kiss. A touch. Nothing more. But it is enough to undo him! Wracked with guilt and the weight of his transgression, Beaufort flees Lancaster for London, seeking refuge in the arms of God. Priesthood, he believes, shall cleanse him—will rid him of her. Yet, even within the monastery, the ghost of Lady Louisa haunts him—her scent, her touch, the whisper of her name, her smile. They all linger in the quiet halls filled with souls embracing celibacy. But he was never celibate! How could he be if he thinks? If he thinks rather sexually of another human being he wished to rid himself of? Worse—his brother’s property? And so he flees! The cloth of fatherhood or brotherhood can never silence the call of his heart. Salvation is a word, and he, of all people, shall have a different case scenario on the Day of Judgment! What happens? In His Sins is a tale of forbidden love, guilt, and the haunting grip of desire, set against the rigid moralities of the Victorian era. Enjoy!

To save her father from financial ruin, Isla is given an impossible choice: marry Damian and become his possession or watch everything she loves crumble. Trapped in a cold, loveless marriage, she is nothing more than a pawn in his world of power and control. But behind Damian’s icy exterior lies something dark, something broken—something that calls to her in ways she can’t explain. His every touch is a punishment, yet his kisses ignite a fire she never knew existed. Yet, in his world, love is a dangerous illusion. His ex-wife wants her gone. His mother sees her as a disgrace. And the most dangerous of them all—his half-brother, Adrian—wants her for himself. When betrayal strikes from all sides, Isla must navigate a deadly game of secrets, passion, and revenge. And as the lines between hate and desire blur, one question remains—can she survive loving the man who vowed to break her?

Delilah Rivers is an outcast in the Moonhaven Pack due to her mixed human-wolf heritage. Her inability to shift into a wolf and the shame of her mother’s forbidden union make her a constant target of ridicule. Alpha Rowan, her uncle, allows her to stay but treats her with disdain, while her cousin Theo oscillates between pity and resentment. Meanwhile, the werewolf packs are fractured after the royal Goldencrest Pack withdrew from governance decades ago. The Goldencrest Pack, made up of powerful Lycans, is the ruling class of werewolf society. Their absence allowed power-hungry alphas like Rowan to dominate, causing political strife and rogue attacks, and Prince Caspian, heir to Goldencrest, aims to restore unity. When Delilah gets humiliated and rejected by her mate, she decides that she's had enough with her pack and flees. Coincidentally, rogue activity threatens Moonhaven and Caspian gets word of it. He goes to intervene and finds Delilah being threatened by the rouges. At first, he mistakes her for one of them and takes her into his custody, believing that he can get information out of her. But he later realises that not only is she the neice of the Alpha of moonhaven, but she's also his mate, although she can't really sense the mate bond due to her being majorly human. At Goldencrest, Delilah is thrust into a world of power and intrigue. Her fiery spirit clashes with Caspian’s arrogance, masking a growing attraction between them. Caspian is unable to ignore the strings of the mate bond pulling him closer to Delilah, and she has this unexplained attraction towards him. She discovers that it's a new mating bond and she's scared to explore it, after getting rejected once by her mate. While Caspian tries to untangle the rogue issues, she decides to help in her own little way, tired of being seen as weak. This leads her to discover her uncle’s dark secrets: he orchestrated her parents’ deaths to prevent her dormant powers from threatening his rule. Theo is complicit, suppressing Delilah’s abilities to secure his own position in Moonhaven. Caspian and Delilah uncover a conspiracy behind the rogue attacks, led by Lucian, Caspian’s estranged brother. Exiled after a failed rebellion, Lucian seeks revenge and has allied with Rowan to overthrow Goldencrest. As Delilah’s dormant powers awaken, she becomes pivotal in the fight against the rogues. Her dual heritage grants her unique abilities, but it also fulfills a misunderstood prophecy about a half-human werewolf who will either unite or destroy the packs. Theo betrays Delilah, revealing her growing powers to Lucian. Feeling abandoned and doubting herself, Delilah questions her place in the werewolf world. Caspian, torn between love and duty, struggles to trust her. Eventually, they both give into their love and desires and they are fully mated under the moonlight. Things appear peaceful for a while but everything begins to tilt again. A massive rogue attack on Goldencrest forces the divided packs to unite. Delilah’s powers fully manifest, allowing her to shift into a wolf for the first time, but severing her connection to her human side. Her transformation astounds the packs, but it also alienates her from Caspian. During the battle, Delilah confronts Rowan, who reveals his plan to betray Lucian and seize control of the packs. Theo redeems himself by sacrificing his life to protect Delilah, confessing his envy of her strength. In a final confrontation, Delilah sacrifices her human side that she had come to embrace and love to defeat Lucian, fully embracing her wolf side and ensuring the survival of the packs. With Lucian defeated, Delilah and Caspian emerge as leaders of a united werewolf society. Delilah, the once weak and mistreated human is now a celebrated wolf for her bravery and her mating with Prince Caspian. She is able to recover her human side, and her life as the new werewolf queen with the now King Caspian by her side is brighter than her life has ever been.

Kiefer knew when he had contracted the Weave. He would suffer incessant nosebleed, raging headaches, auditory and visual hallucinations and occasionally lose consciousness. Those were the major symptoms of the Weave. These symptoms would continue for what seemed like forever. Scraping away at his increasingly fragile mind, rendering every night more fearful than the last. -•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•- When the clock would strike midnight, his sheets could usually be found slick with sweat, sticking to his body and getting even more soaked. Kiefer would try to move his limbs but they never really responded. His eyelids were shut tightly as he couldn't even open them. He would struggle and struggle one too many times to open them but they weren't exceptions in whatever was happening to him. But his ears? His ears picked up every single sound that surrounded him. Sometimes, Kiefer would hear one too many voices speaking at the exact same time, that they began translating into bundles and bundles of gibberish. His head ached terribly and he could do absolutely nothing about it. Trauma. While his eyes were shut, visions of vile and rabid monsters would charge at him from caves and clearings he could never quite make out. Their eyes, bloodshot, their teeth more like fangs dripping with crimson red blood, trying so desperately to rip the poor boy apart. Trauma. Kiefer would now and then try his hardest to wake himself up from the turbulent nightmare but it really did seem like the Weave hadn't had enough fun with him. -•-•-•- Kiefer would occasionally find himself tethering on the edge of the narrowest piece of boulder on what seemed to be a cliff. Looking down, his eyes would widen and his face would contort with fear as molten magma thrashed turbulently just few inches below his feet, burning and scalding his feet repeatedly. Then, all too suddenly, the cliff would melt and Kiefer would find himself falling back-first, his hands fluttering in the air, trying to grab onto whatever came into his grip to save himself. A guttural scream would escape his lips and echo off the far walls as he plunged deep into the boiling magma. -•-•-•- He wakes up with a start every new day, his forehead slick with sweat, his nightwear damp and his hair even damper. Soon, Kiefer didn't need a diviner to tell him the Weave was out for his heart. SUPPORT THIS NOVEL TO KEEP US MOTIVATED!!! FOLLOW INSTA ACCOUNT @guordio_masetti

This book’s full title is: “Murderous AI: That Time I Got Kidnapped to the Future and My Suit Solves Everything With Explosions” Christopher “Chris” Cross never expected much from his night out in Chicago—until he picked up a pair of sleek, high-tech sunglasses in an old gaming lounge. One bad decision later, he finds himself kidnapped into the distant future, permanently bonded to a sentient A.I. battle suit with an unhealthy obsession with destruction. Now stranded in a world where humanity rules the stars, corporate-backed militaries wage endless wars, and advanced technology is as dangerous as the people who wield it, Chris has a few pressing concerns: • He has no way back home, and his new A.I. co-pilot thinks ‘diplomacy’ is just another word for ‘missile strike’. • The suit he’s wearing is an outdated experimental relic, but somehow, it’s more advanced than anything in this era. • R.A.G.E. wants to solve every problem with overwhelming firepower and keeps offering unsolicited ‘explosion-based’ solutions to everyday situations. • By sheer accident, Chris prevents the assassination of a high-ranking military official, putting himself on the radar of powerful factions—and making enemies he didn’t ask for. With shadowy organizations watching him, dangerous figures hunting him, and an A.I. constantly trying to escalate every situation into a full-scale war, Chris has no choice but to adapt—or die trying. But in a galaxy where power determines survival, he’s quickly learning that controlling R.A.G.E. isn’t just about keeping himself alive. It might just decide the future itself. *** This work will be participating in the 2025 Spirity Awards. Upload schedule: Every Tuesday and Wednesday with a minimum of 4ch/week (I’m a working man.
