Introduction
This is a story about brotherhood, betrayal, and redemption.
Five years ago, in Baghdad.
The mission went wrong. Three comrades died.
I was falsely accused of acting without authorization.
Retired.
There were no honors, no medals, only a lifelong agreement to "not divulge secrets".
I thought I would spend the rest of my days peacefully like this.
Until his younger brother Tommy called: "Brother, something's happened to me."
Chapter 1
Five years have passed.
I stood at the exit of Los Angeles International Airport, dragging a worn-out canvas bag.
"elder brother!"
Tommy squeezed through the crowd.
I was stunned.
His right hand was in a cast and sling around his neck. He was pale, with sunken eyes and unshaven stubble on his chin.
What happened to your hand?
"We'll talk about it when we get home." His voice trembled.
Inside the taxi, Tommy stared out the window without saying a word. I looked at his profile; his shirt collar was wrinkled, and bloodstains were seeping from his cast.
Something's not right.
Tommy.
"Brother, let's really talk about this when we get home."
I didn't ask any more questions. He's always been like this since he was little; he handles things on his own.
The car was parked downstairs at the old apartment building. I followed Tommy upstairs; his hand was trembling as he took out his keys.
"What happened?"
The door opened.
The living room was a mess. Chairs were overturned, the coffee table was overturned, and there was blood on the floor.
I went inside and inspected the scene.
There wasn't much blood; it probably came from Tommy's wrist. One of the chair legs was broken, likely kicked off. There were seven or eight cigarette butts on the coffee table, of different brands.
At least four people.
When did they arrive?
"Last night," Tommy said, sitting on the sofa with his right hand hanging down, "at three in the morning."
How many people?
"Four. Masked."
Did you call the police?
"It's no use," Tommy shook his head. "They said if we call the police, we'll lose our left hand too."
I stared at his right hand.
Beneath the plaster cast, his wrist was swollen like a steamed bun.
Who did it?
Tommy was silent for a few seconds.
"Alan Cross."
I was stunned.
Allen.
Comrades who turned against each other during a mission in Baghdad five years ago.
"He bought your debt?"
"Yes," Tommy said. "My company owed $2 million, but it was bought out three months ago. I only found out last week that it was Allen."
"What does he want you to do?"
"Give me the money. Within seven days." Tommy gritted his teeth, "Or I'll have you escort a shipment for him."
arms.
Allen now controls Los Angeles’s largest underground arms network.
I walked up to the coffee table and saw a note.
"Pay back 2 million within seven days, or your brother will escort a shipment for me. Otherwise, you'll lose your left hand too. — Allen"
I clenched my fist.
A familiar sharp pain suddenly shot through my spine.
Limiter.
That damn chip is warning me: you have the ability to fight back.
But I can't use it.
Ten years ago, the military transformed me into a stealth soldier, implanting a limiter between my third and fourth vertebrae. I signed a confidentiality agreement: unauthorized use of abnormal abilities = violation of national security laws = life imprisonment.
For the past five years, I have relied on my physical abilities to make a living and have never used my skills.
I can't break this rule just because of Allen.
"Brother, what do we do?" Tommy grabbed my arm.
"Take care of your hand first." I re-bandaged his cast. "Go to the hospital tomorrow for X-rays to see if surgery is needed."
"But Allen—"
"I will handle it."
My phone rang.
Text message from an unknown number.
"Tomorrow at 3 PM, Pier 47, come alone. — Allen"
I stared at the text message.
He knew I was back.
"Brother, don't go, that's a trap," Tommy said.
"I know."
"Then you still—"
"I have to go," I interrupted him. "Go to the hospital tomorrow and have the doctor treat your wrist."
"But--"
"Listen to me."
Tommy nodded.
I didn't sleep that night.
I sat on the sofa, pressing on my spine. That damn chip was embedded in my bone, sending stabbing pains through me every now and then.
The limiter's function: completely blocks stealth capabilities + 24-hour GPS tracking.
As long as it exists, the military can locate me at any time. If I use my abilities without authorization, a military base 300 kilometers away will receive an alert and send a recovery team to capture me.
But for Tommy's sake, I have to think of another way.
Negotiate with Allen without using your abilities.
I looked out the window. The Los Angeles night sky was starless, with only the red signal lights of helicopters flashing.

She remembers nothing.
He wants her to suffer for crimes she cannot recall. She wants to survive long enough to save her sister. But the bond between them refuses to stay buried and the dragon has its own plans. When she turns twenty and her fae powers awaken, Nyx discovers the truth is far more twisted than centuries of hatred.
The prince who sent her was the one who destroyed her family. The king who hates her saved the only person she loves. And the past life she cannot remember might be the key to stopping another war.
This time she will not run. This time she will burn the world herself if that is what it takes.

After a fire destroyed her family, Fionna lost everything—her face, her name, and the life she once dreamed of. Now, after years of hiding behind a surgically altered identity, she returns to the Scottish mafia heir's mansion as nothing more than a maid.
He doesn't recognize her.
Instead, he drags her into his bed because she reminds him of the dead girl he can never forget.
Every kiss is meant for someone else.
Every cruel word cuts deeper because she knows the truth he doesn't.
While Alastair prepares to marry the perfect mafia princess, Fionna secretly searches for the people who murdered her family. But the closer she gets to revenge, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Because the fire that stole her past...
was never an accident.
And when Alastair finally discovers the woman he's been loving and destroying is the very girl he mourned for ten years—

Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone.

Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."

Excerpt:
She lay before him in all her magnificent beauty draped across his king-size bed in the most compelling and provocative way known to man or beast. And for Alpha Zayne, it was the most captivating view he had ever had the pleasure of seeing with his own eyes.
