Call The Ocean Waves Ashore

His Fading Call

He looked high as he stared at me like I was some type of drug that had him spaced out. I sat up, feeling a rush of pain hit my stomach when I did so. I looked up at him, those crisp green eyes that burned acid through my skin, and waited for Satan himself to that out his grueling taunt. "Come clean it bitch." *** Anna has always known her place at the prestigious Aldridge Academy—a scholarship student trying to keep her head down while enduring the constant torment of Marcus Crawford, the wealthy bully who's made her life a miserable hell since freshman year. For three years, she's endured it all for the sake of her hardworking mother and her best friend, finding solace in her academic achievements at the elite New England boarding school. But senior year brings two unexpected complications. First, Atlas Bonjovi, her old love returns to campus, stirring up memories and feelings she'd rather keep buried. Then, pushed to her breaking point by Marcus's relentless cruelty, Anna makes a risky decision to seek help from Damon Saint-Hayes—Marcus's step-brother, the "Hades of Aldridge" for his dangerous influence over the school's social hierarchy. In a moment of desperation, Anna strikes a devil's bargain with Damon: his help in destroying Marcus Crawford's fucked up reputation. But as Anna descends into a web of revenge and manipulation, she questions if bringing her tormentor to his knees is worth the price Damon names, which may bring her to her knees instead.

You called

Under his gaze, with a slow and deliberate motion, the brunette beside him grips the railing and carefully leans back. Aiden's first instinct was to step closer, but the girl's raspy voice stopped him. "You'd be surprised how often I do this, sir." Sensing she had startled him, and perhaps even disturbed him, she added the explanation she knew he needed: "Surely you've had moments in your life when you wished everything would just end," she said, closing her eyes and leaning back a little further. "When I do this, I realize that I don't want to die." The man rested his elbows on the railing and let out a long sigh. She was the first woman in his life he couldn't understand or see through. A unique and complex character, but damn beautiful. "Remind me once again, for the fourth time now, how you passed the psychological evaluation, Miss Joy?" The profound silence between them had become uncomfortable. Aiden felt he should rephrase the question, soften it somehow. For the first time since he'd met her, he felt he'd crossed a line. "Mr. Black," she finally said with a sigh, "when I do this, I realize that I want to live and be happy." Aiden turned his head slightly toward her. Something in his gaze had changed, and Tatum noticed. That's why she casually added: "As for the psychological exams," she chuckled, letting go of the railing, "be assured that I don't have that much cash lying around just to pass them all, only to protect your ass." The man's chuckle put her at ease. She didn't need anyone's pity.

The First Fusion Master: Beast Wave

In the magical world of Cordial, where the bond between humans and beasts defines power and prestige, Riven Stormbrand dreams of becoming a legendary Beast Master. Born with a soul of exception purity, he was destined for greatness—or so everyone believed. But when his once-bright future is shattered during the Beast Exams, Riven's life takes an unexpected turn. Marked by an ancient and unfathomable creature after a fateful encounter with a mysterious orange stone, Riven’s soul rejects the bond with wild beasts of higher blood lines, rendering him an outcast in the eyes of his peers and a disappointment to his extended family. Yet, amidst rejection and loss, his unwavering resolve shines through. Choosing to walk the path of a hunter, he eventually discovers the power he was gifted with: the ability to absorb the souls of slain beasts and to fuse them, creating powerful allies unlike any others in the land. As Riven treads this uncharted path to power, his city faces an unprecedented catastrophe—a monstrous horde of beasts threatens to annihilate everything he holds dear. Forced into a battle for survival, Riven finds himself torn between protecting his home and harnessing the chaos to strengthen his newfound power. The First Fusion Master is a tale of resilience, discovery, and a power that defies tradition—a journey where the lines between hero and outcast blur, and strength is born from the unlikeliest of places.
