Action Death Countdown Web Novels & Stories

Katherine Hall has spent six years trying to forget Heath Moore. The video he leaked when she was seventeen destroyed her family—her father died the from shame, her mother fell into debt, and Katherine's future was ripped away. Now she's back in London, desperate and broke. Her mother is in the ICU with £43,000 in medical bills, and the clock is ticking. The only offer that can save her comes from the one person she swore she'd never see again. Heath Moore is offering her a job. It's a fortune. It's a trap. It's everything she hates. But the deeper Katherine falls into Heath's world, the more she realizes nothing is what it seems. Strange encrypted files. Mysterious shell companies. A project codenamed MARIS with ties to a global conspiracy. And Heath—cold, guarded, and watching her every move—is hiding something. When she's abducted and interrogated about MARIS, Heath arrives to save her, and he finally tells her the truth: He built MARIS. It's an autonomous targeting system that feeds assassination orders to drones and military networks. He never meant for it to be used this way. And now, the people controlling it will kill anyone who tries to stop them. Katherine agrees to help him destroy MARIS. But she has one condition: when it's over, he disappears from her life forever. As they race across continents, hunted by assassins and betrayed by allies, Katherine discovers the one thing she never expected—the man she hates is the only person she can trust. And the love she buried six years ago is the only thing that can save them both. The truth is never as clean as the story they tell you. But love is the only thing that makes it worth finding.

The night the moon turned black, the world ended. Humans became *Infected* — bloodthirsty monsters that hunt in the dark. *Ethan Cole*, 24, ex-soldier, is the only thing standing between death and his 8-year-old sister *Lily*.

Selena is an *INFECTED*. To survive, they form a *Blood Bond* — sharing pain, strength, and fate. If one dies, the other falls. Now every night the Black Moon rises, the Infected get stronger.

Survival. System. Dark Romance. Every night is war. Every crystal matters. And the deadliest danger?

I died trusting the wrong people. My husband left me behind when the evacuation began. My family stole everything they could. And when the world collapsed, I learned the government had known the truth all along. Then I woke up. Sixty days before the dead rise. This time, I remember everything. I know which cities will fall first. I know what supplies will disappear. I know who will betray me. So I prepare in silence. But the future begins changing. The outbreak comes early. The infected are evolving. Someone else remembers the apocalypse. And the man who betrayed me in my first life may not be the same man standing beside me now. I thought I was reborn to survive the apocalypse. I was wrong. I was reborn because something far worse is coming.
