Introduction
I laughed.
I'd been a pirate king for ten years; what storms hadn't I weathered?
I not only emptied his treasure chest that he considered his for the taking overnight, but also used his money to buy up all the survival supplies in the city.
When the apocalypse truly arrived, he could only kneel on the zombie-infested shore, watching helplessly as I sailed towards the absolutely safe island paradise.
Chapter 1
I spent ten years as a pirate on this part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Ten years of plundering, gunfire, and storms have given me the most fearsome armed ships and astonishing wealth in this sea, but I am tired of this life where I don't know if there will be a tomorrow.
So I've decided to quit.
"After tonight, lower the black flag, split the money in the vault equally, and each of us will go ashore with clean identities, buy farms, make investments, and live a peaceful life." I said to the dozens of men who had risked their lives for me, standing on the main deck.
After a brief silence, shouts erupted on the deck.
Having lived in violence for too long, no one would want to live a peaceful life with a large sum of money.
Barrels of rum were smashed open, and the grease from the roasted meat sizzled in the brazier, bringing the farewell handwashing celebration to its climax.
As the one giving orders, I must remain clear-headed in any environment.
So I did not participate in their drinking.
I saw my first mate, Ryan, sitting alone by the cable, his lips moving.
"West longitude...49 degrees...North...deep-sea cave..."
I squinted slightly, walked over and sat down next to him.
"What are you muttering about, Ryan?" I hooked my arm around his neck. "Are you memorizing the addresses of women in which ports? Are you worried you won't find anyone to warm your bed once you get ashore?"
Ryan turned his head slowly.
He was clearly dead drunk.
"Women? Women...can become dead too! Nine days...only nine days left, the zombies are coming...the entire continent is about to be wiped out!"
Nine heavens, zombies? What is he talking about?
I watched him without making a sound.
Raine muttered to himself, "I need to dig up the treasure quickly, get that money, and then go ashore to buy all sorts of supplies to survive!"
It turns out that the coordinates he was just talking about were the coordinates of the treasure.
"Why didn't you tell Viktor about the treasure sooner?" I said with a friendly smile. "He's the captain, and you two are partners."
"Tell him?"
Ryan's expression instantly turned ferocious: "Tell him, and he'll take the lion's share as a matter of course, condescendingly handing me over! I'm fed up with being his subordinate forever! God gave me a second chance with my memories, not to be his dog!"
"Once I secretly unearth that fortune... I'll buy the most potent poison, and I'll watch him collapse on the deck, limbs convulsing, foaming at the mouth with blood... Then, this ship, this fortune, and everyone here will all be mine!"
A slightly cool night breeze brushed against my face.
I expressionlessly reached for the dagger on my boot, ready to kill him.
Because I am Victor.
But after thinking about it, I decided to hold back.
Killing him now would only get rid of a traitor; but if what he said is true, then I can prepare for that damned apocalypse in advance.
"Then you'd better hurry, future captain." I chuckled and patted his shoulder. "I've had too much to drink, I'm going to take a nap."
I turned and walked toward the dark lower deck.
Twenty minutes later, a completely black, silent speedboat silently glided out from the blind spot at the stern of the main ship and quickly disappeared into the inky sea. The revelry on deck continued unabated, and no one noticed that their captain had left the main ship.
I arrived at the reefs in the target sea area with a few trusted confidants.
After diving more than 30 meters down with the ocean current, the beam of the searchlight tore through the dark seawater, illuminating an extremely hidden natural cave.
When my men and I swam down to the bottom of the cave and saw what lay ahead, even I, who usually sees money as just numbers, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
The mountains of corrosion-resistant steel boxes lie dormant on the seabed like silent behemoths.
I gestured for my men to be on guard, then swam forward and used my dagger to pry open the lead seal on one of the boxes. As the water rushed in, the light from the searchlight refracted into an extremely dazzling brilliance inside the box.
It contained a large quantity of gold coins, jewels, and a golden statue of Neptune.
I casually grabbed a handful of gleaming gold coins, feeling their heavy texture in the seawater.
If the treasure is real, then the zombies that Raine mentioned might also be real.
The zombie outbreak will begin in nine days.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.

Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.

Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
