Edges Of Us
Mason Reid has everything hockey captain, scholarship, a dad who’s also the coach. The only thing he can’t have is Ezra Cole. When a cafeteria fight gets them benched, the principal forces them to train together in secret. What starts as hate turns into desperate stolen nights, lingering touches, and a kiss that cracks Mason’s whole world open.
As senior year drags them through competitions, rumors, and a chaotic training camp, Mason and Ezra aren’t the only ones circling each other. A new transfer student wants them both. A popular girl falls hard for Ezra. And one jealous classmate catches something he was never meant to see… and starts blackmailing all four of them with a video that could destroy everything.
Family rejection, panic attacks, public humiliation, and the fear of losing scholarships force Mason and Ezra to decide: keep hiding and lose each other forever… or burn it all down and skate out together.

Chapter: Should I RegretThe morning after the camp was over, felt like I had walked back into my normal life with a secret sitting on my chest.Everything looked the same.The same room. The same annoying sound of Jun’s alarm going off even though he wasn’t awake enough to turn it off. The same pile of clothes on the chair that I kept promising myself I would clean. But I wasn’t the same.I lay there staring at the ceiling, replaying everything that happened at the cabin even though I was trying my hardest not to.Mason’s voice, Kai’s smile, Lila’s laugh when she was nervous. The way all of us had crossed a line we couldn’t uncross.My phone sat beside me on the bed. No new messages, no threats. Nothing and somehow that bothered me more. Because waiting for something bad to happen was worse than knowing it already had.I finally forced myself out of bed and got ready for school.The second I stepped into the hallway, everything felt louder than usual.People were laughing near the stairs. Someone was arguing

Chapter: What We DidThe morning after the bonfire felt unreal in the worst possible way.For a few seconds after I opened my eyes, and I genuinely forgot where I was. All I saw was the pale morning light pushing through the cabin windows and felt warmth pressed against me from every direction.Then my brain caught up. Mason’s arm was still wrapped around my waist, possessive even in sleep. Kai was half curled against my side with one leg thrown over mine like he belonged there. Lila’s head rested on my chest, her hair all over the place and tickling my jaw every time she breathed.Nobody had moved yet. My heartbeat started climbing immediately with something worse. Because the second I remembered last night, I also remembered how badly I didn’t regret it.And that should’ve terrified me more but I wasn't.Kai stirred first beside me, groaning softly before blinking awake. For a second he just stared at me sleepily, then smiled like waking up tangled together was the most normal thing in the world.“Morni

Chapter: Beautiful DamageThe Sports Festival announcement already had the whole school acting insane, but the real chaos started two days later during morning assembly.Principal Gage stepped up to the microphone with the same expression teachers used right before ruining everybody’s peace.“Due to the increased interest in this year’s showcase,” she announced, “we’ll also be holding a three-day leadership and training camp next weekend at the state park for participating athletes.”The gym got loud immediately.“Cabins, team-building exercises, strategy sessions, and additional training opportunities will all be included. College scouts are paying very close attention this year, so attendance is strongly encouraged.”Somebody near the back yelled, “So basically summer camp with emotional trauma.”Half the gym started laughing.Coach looked exhausted already.I sank lower in my seat while people around me immediately started talking over each other about cabin assignments and sneaking alcohol.Three days at c

Chapter: Open Door DisasterNobody moved after Lila spoke.Music still pounded downstairs hard enough to shake the floor, but up in the hallway everything felt weirdly quiet. Too quiet.Lila looked between all three of us again like her brain was trying to process the scene and failing miserably.Kai leaned back against the wall first, completely unbothered somehow. “Okay wow, your timing is actually insane.”Lila blinked once. “Kai.”“What?”“What the actual hell am I looking at right now?”“That’s honestly a difficult question.”I dragged a hand down my face immediately. “This is not helping.”Mason still stood close behind me, one hand resting low against my waist like he forgot it was there. Lila’s eyes dropped to it instantly before snapping back up to my face.“You kissed Kai?”“No,” Kai answered before I could speak. “Technically I kissed him.”“That is somehow worse.”“I thought honesty mattered.”Lila stared at him like she wanted to throw him down the stairs.Meanwhile I was seconds away from spontaneo

Chapter: The Derek Holloway’s PartyBy Thursday morning, nobody in school could focus on anything except Derek Holloway’s party.The announcement happened halfway through first period after mrs Linda left the classroom for a phone call. Derek stood on top of his chair like an idiot while everybody yelled at him to get down.“My parents are leaving for Chicago tomorrow,” he announced proudly. “Which means my house is legally becoming public property Friday night.”The classroom exploded immediately.“No way.”“You’re lying.”“Bro your neighbors are calling the cops for sure.”Derek pointed dramatically. “That sounds like future Derek’s problem.”Even the teacher looked tired already.People started throwing questions at him from every direction while he laughed through all of it. Somebody asked if alcohol would be there. Derek just grinned and said, “I’m not answering questions that could incriminate me.”Lila leaned toward me from the desk beside mine. “You’re going.”“I wasn’t planning to.”“You literally never plan t

Chapter: Sex In The TruckAfter the hallway conversation, things between me and Mason changed so fast it almost gave me whiplash. Not officially. Nothing was defined. Nothing was labeled. We still weren’t whatever normal people would call us. But the feelings between us had changed into something softer now, something heavier too because neither of us could really hide from it anymore. Mason liked me. Actually liked me and somehow knowing that made every little interaction feel ten times more dangerous. Especially because now he stopped pretending his attention toward me was accidental. His hand would settle on my lower back while passing behind me and stay there half a second longer than necessary. His texts came more often now, random little check-ins during the day that somehow became the part of my schedule I looked forward to most. Have you eaten yet? Is the hospital okay today? Are you alive or dramatic? The stupid thing was I answered every single time almost immediately. Which Lila found deep

Reborn Sovereign
He died cold and forgotten in a boardroom, then woke up choking on palace bathwater while his stepsister tried to finish the job.
Welcome to hell, new body.
Jay is now Prince Jayvyn, the royal family’s shameful, “too soft” Omega. The one they expect to spread his legs beautifully and die quietly.
Fuck that noise. Three days until the Mate Selection, Jay does the impossible: he forces open his first cultivation meridian in secret, howling through the white-hot pain like the rules of Omegas don’t apply to him anymore.
Now the kingdom’s most terrifying Alpha—General Kael Thorne, all brutal muscle and centuries of restrained hunger is looking at him like he wants to devour him whole.
Kael has never wanted an Omega. Until Jay shows up.
Two Alphas think they can claim him. One rebellious body that’s starting to ache for more than just survival.
He died powerless once. This time, he’s going to make them beg for every inch of him.

Chapter: What BreaksJay's first thought when he woke up was: *something's wrong.*Not the usual "where am I" wrong. Deeper. Wrong in his chest. In his meridians. In the very foundation of his cultivation.He tried to sit up but his body didn't listen."Easy." Kael's voice. Close. The General's hand settled on Jay's chest—not pushing him down, just... steadying. "Don't move yet."Jay's eyes opened. The world was too bright. Everything had a golden haze to it that made his head pound. He was in a bed—not his chambers. The royal wing's medical suite, judging by the sterile white walls and the faint smell of healing herbs.Kael sat in a chair beside the bed. Hadn't moved. Probably hadn't slept. His jaw was shadowed with stubble, his eyes exhausted, but those gold eyes tracked every micro-movement Jay made."How long?" Jay's voice came out wrecked."Twelve hours." Kael's hand didn't move from his chest. "You collapsed after the breakthrough. We brought you here. You've been unconscious since."Twelve hours. T

Chapter: Blood And PoliticsJay woke up alone. The bed was cold on both sides—Kael's warmth gone, Nyx's ice-cold presence vanished. Just empty sheets and the lingering scent of two Alphas who'd helped him through heat and then disappeared.*Of course they left. Why would they stay?*His first life's abandonment issues tried to surface. Jay shoved them down. *Focus. They're probably dealing with court fallout. This isn't personal.*Except it felt personal.He sat up, wincing. His body was sore in ways that made his face heat. The heat was gone—truly gone, not just suppressed—but the aftermath lingered. Sensitive skin. Heightened awareness. And the phantom sensation of hands he couldn't quite forget.*Stop. Business brain. What's the play today?*A knock at the door."Your Highness?" Finn's voice. Strained.Jay wrapped a robe around himself. "Come in."Finn entered carrying a breakfast tray. But his hands were shaking. His face pale."What happened?" Jay asked immediately."Nothing, Your Highness. I just—" Finn se

Chapter: Heat And ChoiceJay woke up burning with an actual fire under his skin, in his veins, consuming him from the inside out. His clothes were soaked through—sweat, slick, desperation. The room spun. *Where—* Not the throne room. Not his chambers either. Somewhere bigger. Softer. A bed beneath him that actually had clean sheets and pillows that didn't smell like mildew. Guest quarters. Royal wing. *They brought me to the royal wing. Not the east wing trash heap.* "He's awake." Kael's voice. Close. Jay's head turned automatically toward the sound, and his hindbrain flooded with *Alpha Alpha need—* The General sat in a chair by the bed. Still in formal dress but the jacket was gone. Sleeves rolled up. Hair disheveled like he'd been running his hands through it. Those gold eyes tracked every movement Jay made. "How long?" Jay's voice came out wrecked. Throat raw like he'd been screaming. "Four hours since the ceremony." Kael's jaw was tight. Controlled. "Your heat hit fully about an hour ago. You've

Chapter: Mate SelectionJay stood outside the throne room doors trying not to throw up.He had just two days to prepare for this moment, and his body was already betraying him.The heat suppressant was failing. He could feel the warmth crawling under his skin, slick between his thighs that he had wiped away three times this morning. His scent was changing already, sweetening, broadcasting to every Alpha in the palace that he was approaching heat.Perfect timing.[WARNING: HEAT CYCLE IMMINENT][ESTIMATED TIME: 18-24 HOURS][CURRENT SUPPRESSANT EFFECTIVENESS: 34%][RECOMMENDATION: SECURE ALPHA BOND BEFORE FULL MANIFESTATION]"Stop helping," Jay muttered at the floating text."Your Highness?" Finn hovered nearby, nervous. He had helped Jay dress this morning into, royal blue robes that actually fit, hair styled simply, nothing excessive. "Are you ready?""No." Jay's hands were shaking. He fisted them in his robes. "But we are doing this anyway."Two opened meridians hummed with qi in his chest. Body Refinement,

Chapter: Between The PredatorsThe shadows didn’t just move, they swallowed the light whole.The room got freezing cold in seconds. Jay’s breath came out in white clouds. Frost crawled across the window like someone was drawing it with icy fingers.Kael’s sword hissed out of its sheath. “Show yourself.”“I am showing myself, General,” the voice answered, deep and cold like winter wind. “This is all your weak mortal eyes can take without burning.”The darkness gathered and took shape. Taller than Kael. Wider. A figure made of pure shadow that hurt to look at directly. Two glowing crimson eyes burned where a face should be.Jay felt his pocket turn ice-cold. The crystal.The Shadow King.“Step away from him,” Kael ordered, moving between Jay and the shadow. Protective. Possessive.Shit. Alpha bullshit already. This is about to get ugly.“Possessive already?” The Shadow King sounded amused. “You’ve known him for what… twenty minutes? I’ve been watching him for days.”Jay’s old CEO instincts kicked in hard.

Chapter: The General Returns"May I?" Kael asked."May you what?""Scent you properly. You're suppressing your pheromones. I can tell. But I want to know what you actually smell like under the cultivation energy."Jay's mind raced. He's asking permission. That means he wants it, and also to know if we're compatible.Which means I have power here.Every instinct said this was dangerous. Letting an Alpha into personal space was an invitation to claim.But refusing would make Kael suspicious. And a suspicious Alpha was unpredictable.Let him smell. Let him want. Want is leverage."Fine," Jay said. "But you don't touch.""Agreed."Kael leaned in. His nose traced the line of Jay's throat without making contact—close enough that Jay could feel breath heat.Jay's body responded immediately. Warmth pooling low in his belly. Omega biology screaming yes, this Alpha, claim claim claim—His mind stayed cold. Calculating.He's restraining himself. That tremor in his hand—he wants to touch and isn't. Good. The more he wants an

Chapter: The Betrayal ExposedThe board meeting the next morning was packed.Victoria Sterling sat at the table like she'd been invited, like she belonged there. She had a presentation ready. She had a proposal. She had leverage.And she had Matthew's vote from yesterday."Thank you for allowing Aldridge Hospitality to present," Victoria began, her voice smooth and confident. "We've been impressed with Kingland Holdings' vision, and we believe we can be strategic partners in bringing that vision to scale."She clicked to the first slide: a merger proposal."Rather than an acquisition, we're proposing a merger," Victoria continued. "Aldridge provides capital for Selena's expansion plans. Kingland maintains operational independence. But we restructure governance to ensure more effective decision-making."She clicked to the next slide: the new organizational chart.Matthew's stomach dropped.There he was, positioned as COO. Selena was positioned as Creative Director—a step down from co-CEO. And there was a new CEO po

Chapter: Aldridge ReturnsThe email from Victoria Sterling arrived on a Tuesday morning.Not to the board. Not to Matthew and Selena jointly. Directly to Matthew's personal email.*"I believe we have mutual interests to discuss. Let's talk before this becomes public. —V.S."*Matthew stared at the email for a long time.He should have deleted it. Should have forwarded it to Selena and the board immediately. Should have done a lot of things.Instead, he called the number Victoria had included."I was wondering if you'd respond," Victoria said when she answered. No greeting, just acknowledgment."What do you want?" Matthew asked flatly."The same thing I wanted before," Victoria replied. "Kingland Holdings. But this time, I'm not making the offer to the board. I'm making it to you."Matthew's jaw tightened. "I'm not interested.""You will be," Victoria said. "Because Selena is about to make a decision that will destroy the company. And I'm offering you a way to stop her."---The board meeting was scheduled for T

Chapter: Reginald's LegacyThe opening of the Riviera resort was elegant and understated.No press conference. No photographers. Just the people who mattered: the staff, the invited guests, the board members, and the family.Matthew and Selena walked through the property together, and everything worked.The structural solutions held. The design vision thrived. The guest experience was exactly what Selena had imagined—spaces that felt luxurious because they felt welcoming, not because they cost a fortune.The operational systems Matthew had implemented moved seamlessly. Staff could do their jobs efficiently without sacrificing the attention to detail the guests experienced.It was the perfect marriage of vision and execution.Reginald was there, in his wheelchair, watching from the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean.Matthew and Selena approached him as the sun was setting."It's perfect," Reginald said simply."It's yours," Selena replied.

Chapter: The Major Decision TogetherMatthew knew he couldn't fix this alone.So the next morning, he called Selena."I want to bring in someone," he said. "An outside consultant. Someone who specializes in complex project management and creative solutions."Selena was quiet on the other end. "You mean someone to mediate between us?""No," Matthew said. "Someone to help us think. We're too close to the problem. We're both defending our positions instead of actually exploring solutions.""Okay," Selena said, and there was something like relief in her voice. "Okay, let's do that."Dr. Helena Rodriguez came highly recommended.She was a project management consultant who specialized in helping creative and operational leaders work together on complex initiatives. She'd worked with architects, engineers, designers, and builders on some of the world's most challenging construction projects.She spent the first three hours just listening.

Chapter: EscalationThree weeks after the board vote, reality set in.The Riviera project's first phase should have been straightforward. Clear site, approved design, funding secured. But nothing about construction ever goes as planned.The contractors discovered structural issues with the foundation that required significant rework. The timeline Matthew had projected was suddenly optimistic by six months. The budget Selena had approved was suddenly insufficient for the design specifications she'd insisted on.Matthew brought the structural report to her office."We need to either adjust the timeline or reduce scope," he said, setting down the engineering assessment.Selena reviewed the report, her expression hardening. "Reduce scope? Matthew, the scope IS the design. If we reduce it, we reduce what makes this project special.""I understand that," Matthew replied carefully. "But the structural issues are real. We can't ignore them.""So we solve them," Selena said. "We find a way to maintain the design

Chapter: Real ThreatThe call came from Richard, Matthew's attorney, on a Friday afternoon."We have a problem," Richard said without preamble. "Aldridge Hospitality just made a formal acquisition offer for Kingland Holdings. It's a hostile bid—they went straight to the board instead of approaching Reginald first."Matthew set down his coffee. "How hostile?""Very," Richard replied. "The offer is substantial—they're willing to pay a significant premium above market value. But it's conditional on removing current leadership and restructuring the company."Matthew understood immediately: they wanted Kingland Holdings' assets, brand, and properties. They wanted to eliminate Reginald, and probably Matthew too. They definitely wanted to eliminate Selena."Send me the details," Matthew said. "And call an emergency board meeting for Monday."He found Selena in her office reviewing the Riviera timelines."We have an acquisition threat," he said, closing the door behind him.Selena looked up.
