Blind Date Sherlock

In the year 7700, a failed military experiment plunged the world into chaos, leaving humanity on the brink of extinction. With the human population dwindling, the government launched a controversial dating app designed to help survivors find a genetic match and redeem humanity. However, when the once mindless zombies started to evolve—with sharpened instincts and an eerie intelligence, forming organized attacks and systematically began eradicating the human race through the app—this virtual matchmaking suddenly became a deadly game of survival. In this high-stakes, post-apocalyptic world, betrayal lurks around every corner, and romance is just as deadly as the zombies themselves. Will you swipe left on humanity’s last hope, or will you run?

Her life is miserable only because she looks very similar to her mother's ex-husband, who cheated on her 12 years ago and left them both. No matter how much work she does, she still cannot fulfill all her current needs. Out of desperation, Kalea thinks of asking for help from her famous college friend with a myriad of bad rumors following him. "The job is very easy, you just need to accompany someone shopping or something like that. Quickly, a large sum of money will come into your bank account." "Really?"

Little did she know, however, that the job waiting for her was to become a sugar baby for a young businessman named Arthur Jefferson. She would have to satisfy his lust, including sacrificing her virginity just for the sake of money.

[Warning: Contains Mature Content] "Beware of the tongue of a wicked woman. For it may tell a lie that would slay the world." Eighteen-Year-old rejected, wolfless and blind Zina is summoned to the capital to tell a vision for the ruthless and feared Alpha King of the North notoriously known as ‘The King Who Crowned Himself’. The result of Zina’s ‘false’ vision has the Alpha Prince and future Alpha Supreme, Daemon, banished from the capital to fight wars at the borders where only death awaits him in the hands of the famed Arising Rogues, and the even more famed Deformed. But Daemon survives fire, blood and claw, and not only does he survive, but six years later, he is back as Alpha Supreme, driven by vengeance against those who brought him down. Starting from his cunny siblings, to the eighteen-year old girl now twenty-four who spelt his destiny with just mere words, Daemon vows to leave no one unscathed. However Zina is well aware of her own treachery. Now the Theta to the same powerful werewolf house she told the dangerous lie against, and having tasted the bitter pill of betrayal from the very people she told the dangerous lie for, she is unwilling to resign to her fate just yet. But how do you melt the heart of a man that you once ruined? And how do you destroy a woman loved by all the common people, and perhaps, even the gods? Daemon will learn the hard way that not all vengeance can be taken, and not all debts can be collected. Secrets abound, the Deformed Werewolves are set to rise, and a rare chance at second mating befalls the two most unusual people. And now, one thing has become for sure—Daemon must first defeat the enemy outside, before he can truly confront her, who has become the enemy of his heart. **** Zina's back pressed against the wall as a taut body pinned her, their warmth mingling together. Four years of deadly anticipation had culminated into that very moment.

Swallowing and maintaining a tight grip on her staff despite the body that burned against hers, she answered firmly. “I am afraid the gods haven’t shown me yet.” The man over her smiled shrewdly. His lips grazed her ear, his hot breath sending waves of sensation. “I believe in all of the names I have been called, one of them is god. So let me tell you that which you do not know… “…today is the day you will die.”

He believed the world of detective work was too dangerous for his daughter. Despite his disapproval, Emma’s determination never wavered. She decided to carve her own path and established her own detective agency in the bustling city of London where she was born and raised, hoping to prove her father wrong. However, the reality of running a detective agency was far from the thrilling adventures she had imagined as Emma found herself struggling with mounting bills and a community that was slightly sceptical of a young woman in such a profession. Clients were few and those who did come often doubted her abilities. But Emma’s resolve was unshakeable. In a twist of fate, after solving a problem at the down town animal shelter, Emma’s life took an unexpected turn when she got paid for her help in the form of a small Pomeranian who she named Sherlock, after the famous detective, hoping that the little furball would bring her some luck. Little did she know, Sherlock possessed an uncanny knack for sniffing out clues and had a remarkable intelligence that would soon prove invaluable. One rainy afternoon, as Emma was contemplating the future of her struggling agency, she listened to a mysterious voicemail from a man calling himself Lord Baxter, who requested her services for a matter of utmost discretion.

Upon her arrival, Emma was greeted by a scene straight out of a detective novel. The grand library was in disarray, and at the centre of the chaos lay a lifeless body.

Long ago, when dinosaurs roamed and colossal beasts ruled the Earth, humanity was not as we know it today. The so-called primitive ancestors, dismissed as mere monkeys by the untrained eye, were actually early humans. In a world teeming with monstrous predators, these early humans were exceptionally vulnerable. To survive, they evolved an extraordinary response to peril, a surge of adrenalin so powerful it transformed them into formidable creatures themselves. This phenomenon, born from intense emotions and named Overwhelm, granted them the strength to battle the ancient terrors that lurked around them. Overwhelm became a revered trait, a mark of strength and valour. Those who could harness it were celebrated as warriors, and their prowess made them highly sought after. Women from all corners of the globe vied to marry them, seeing it as an honour to bear the children of these mighty beings. Their lineage grew, and their families flourished in the midst of a dangerous world. But as time marched on, evolution transformed humanity. The once formidable power of Overwhelm dwindled, and those who retained it were deemed monsters and shunned by the society they once protected. The weaker among them were hunted to near extinction, while the strongest were forced into hiding. Despite this, the government, recognizing the futility of eradicating their most powerful factions, brokered a tense coexistence. As the ages passed, a new leader emerged among the remnants of the monster society. Fuelled by a desire to reclaim their lost glory and the honour that was once theirs, they began a revolt, a desperate bid to restore their former power and dominance.

Wilson, a man seeking true love, decides to pretend he is blind, hoping that in his vulnerability, someone will love him for who he truly is, rather than for appearances. His plan is tested when he meets Esther, his mother Margaret’s loyal and caring personal assistant. Drawn to Esther’s kindness and sincerity, Wilson's heart begins to soften, but his deception becomes a growing weight on his conscience. As their relationship blossoms, Wilson wrestles with the dilemma of revealing the truth to Esther, fearing it might destroy the bond they’ve built. Meanwhile, Esther has her own journey—balancing her career, navigating family responsibilities, and confronting the emotional baggage of her past. Their love story unfolds alongside friendships with close confidants like Ruby, Saffy, Mick, and Sam, who provide support, wisdom, and humor. Over time, Wilson confesses his secret, bracing for Esther's reaction. Her response, while initially filled with hurt, ultimately reflects her deep understanding of love and forgiveness. Their connection deepens, and they decide to build a future together, filled with authenticity, growth, and mutual support. Their journey takes them through the joys and challenges of marriage, parenthood, and career ambitions. As they raise their children, they face new obstacles but always find their way back to one another. Surrounded by close friends and family, Wilson and Esther create a life rich with meaning, memories, and unwavering love. Throughout the years, Wilson’s pretending evolves into a lesson about the power of truth, vulnerability, and the importance of seeing—and being seen—for who one truly is. Their story is a testament to the enduring strength of love, resilience, and the beauty of finding one’s soulmate in the most unexpected ways.
