Smoke Rings - You Were Never Gone

**Blood Oath: The Way of the Shadows** In the underworld of 1990s Japan, where loyalty is paid in blood and betrayal means death, the Syndicate rules from the shadows. Their deadliest weapon? The Umbra Division—an elite squad of assassins trained to kill without hesitation. Among them is **Ren**, a cold and ruthless killer with no memories of the family he lost. He knows only one purpose: the mission. Alongside him are warriors just as deadly—each with their own pasts, scars, and reasons for walking this merciless path. From brutal hand-to-hand combat to silent executions under the neon glow of Tokyo’s skyline, every assignment is a battle for survival. But as the Umbra Division is sent to eliminate increasingly dangerous targets, whispers spread of an enemy even the Syndicate fears. An unstoppable force lurks in the shadows, threatening to shake the very foundations of the assassin world. And for Ren, the path ahead may force him to question everything he thought he knew—about his past, his purpose, and the meaning of true strength. Loyalty is an illusion. Death is inevitable. The only way to survive… is to kill first.

For three years, I waited to become the perfect Luna for my pack and give the Alpha an heir. Three years of lies, being the intruder in someone else's love. Three years to suffer the death of my baby and seek revenge against the man who disfigured my face and destroyed my womb. Dying captured by my own pack or escaping and surviving—those were my only two paths. I chose to hide and live. The Lycan King, Aldric Thorne, the most bloodthirsty and ruthless ruler who led the werewolves with an iron fist—I became his personal maid, the most dangerous position, where I could lose my head at any moment for the slightest mistake. But no one from my past would ever look for me here. "Always submissive. Don't speak, don't listen, don't see anything, don't bother the Lycan, or you'll die." Simple rules to follow. I thought I was doing well until the day the King made me an offer I couldn't refuse. "You want me to save those people? Then surrender to me tonight. Be mine. I desire you, and I know you feel the same. Just once, Valeria... only once." But it wasn't just once. And passion turned into love. That cold, untamable man conquered my heart as well. However, when the past comes back to haunt me and the truth of my birth is revealed, I must make a choice once again—flee from the Lycan King or wait for his mercy. "I'm sorry, but this time, I won't lose my pups again. Not even for you, Aldric." My name is Valeria Von Carstein, and this is my complicated love story with the Lycan King.

***WARNING*** Contains Male x Futa and incest smut… read at your own discretion. James just got his life together.. well sorta and now he’s been isekai’d into a pervy game only he has played. The problem is he was to busy wackin it to pay attention to any of the details! Join James in his misadventures in a fantasy world he knows nothing about. Research proves that everyone who reads this story is incredibly intelligent, handsome, and strong… I’m trying to keep each chapter around 2k words and I don’t have a set release schedule yet. While a lot of the time the story will be comedic and fun, do expect some pretty dark events to unfold. There will be quite a bit of smut (mainly futa) in this novel. There will also be moms, sisters, monster girls and a whole lot more. But that will be a bit later on. Chapter 31 is where the first true sex scene happens.

Lily has always felt like she was too much—too big, too emotional, too different. At seventeen, she carries more than just her weight; she bears the crushing expectations of beauty, the sting of past heartbreaks, and the echo of every cruel whisper that called her less than enough. After years of shrinking into herself, Lily begins college hoping for a fresh start. But self-worth isn't something that magically appears with new beginnings. As she navigates a world where everyone seems so effortlessly perfect, Lily battles her insecurities, relives painful memories, and struggles to find her place. Along the way, she meets Joe—charming, aloof, and everything she thought she wanted—but his hot-and-cold presence only deepens her doubts. Through heartbreak, healing, and unexpected friendships, Lily begins to discover the power of her voice—through sketching, through singing, and most importantly, through choosing herself. From campus festivals to raw conversations with her family, each moment chips away at the lies she’s believed for so long. Chasing Perfection is a heart-wrenching yet empowering journey of a girl learning to love herself not in spite of her body, but because of it. It’s about joy, art, music, and the messy, beautiful process of becoming. Lily doesn’t want to be perfect anymore. She just wants to be real—and that changes everything.
