“I fall for her, June Bentley, my brother’s fiancée. Yeah, this is silly, and many of my friends may get startled if I declare the truth. They can see me as a third wheel in my brother’s engagement, but I don’t care about their opinions. Though, I really love her at the first place. The moment I meet her as my private teacher is the time when I start developing my feelings to her. There is no other people I really want to see. It is only her and forever will be her. Yet, unexpectedly, after getting engaged to my brother, unexpectedly, she often spends more time for me. Among those times, she suddenly confesses her feelings to me. Her admission certainly makes me happy, but I realize that our love might be impossible to happen, but we decide to go through it, through the thick and thin, whether it is happy or sad.” -Stacy Barfield-

Blurb Evianna Morine Ildefonso ay isang simpleng dalaga na naghahangad na mapabuti ang pamumuhay nila ng kanyang Lola Esing. Kaya nang imbitahan siyang dumalo sa exclusive party ng "Strange Uncle" niyang si Zino Scyte Mendres. Hindi na siya nagpatumpik-tumpik. First time niya, kaya halos magkalat siya sa nasabing party. Pagkagising niya ng umagang iyon, nagisnan na lang niyang nakahiga siya sa kama na wala ni isang saplot. Ang masaklap nakuha pa ng hindi niya nakikilalang estranghero ang puri na pinaka-ingat-ingatan niya. Dahil doon, pinili ni Erine na manatili muna roon. Habang inaalam pa niya kung sino ang taong dapat niyang habulin. Makakasama niya sina Gaven, Draken at Maken. Ang nag ga-gwapuhan triplets na mga binata ng Uncle Zite niya. Ngunit, mukhang hindi lang iyon ang madidiskubre ni Erine. Kung 'di ang katotohanan sa likod ng totoo niyang pagkatao. Eloiza Fernando (Babz07aziole) My Strange Uncle ©2025

"Everyone has a story to tell and the truth is I am afraid to tell you mine; but in this world embraced by darkness, allow me to become your brightest shadow!" Two different individuals— David Chwe, an 18-year-old boy with secrets darker than a June's night without the guidance of the moon. A boy with phases that are likely to coerce one to kick the bucket. — Travis Fujiriki [Park], is a 19-year-old boy who has always isolated himself from the naked eyes of the world. All that David had to do was to get his mission done and that was to lure Travis into the spider's web but instead, everything chose to travel on a different route. Sparkles of love began to investigate themselves in the depths of their hearts— once an individual who ran away from affection, Travis was willing to expose his heart to David who became his comfort zone. Just like in many tales of love and war, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Will David drop Travis into the lion's den and sacrifice his love? Or will he drop it all and bring him closer under his wing and protect him regardless of anything?

*** Mature themes*** *Alaina* Growing up I was always told I was 'special', that the moon goddess had this big plan for me one that involved Selene cursing a guy 5,000 years ago... a plan I wanted no part of. A plan that my entire pack figured out the first time I shifted, a plan that put me in right in the line of danger. I found the love of my life when I was a child, a chosen mate, hoping that I could live a normal life. That was until I went to the all Alpha meeting in Spain and met... him... and my life changed forever. *Ashton* I grew up being told stories of a prophecy. The actual texts have been lost for generations, and at this point they are bed time stories. Stories about what happens if you reject your fated mate, about Selene being born on earth. I never thought it was real, let alone be apart of the prophecy, until I first shifted. Then I met my mate, my strong willed, stubborn, smart, loving, mate. It's been a wild ride ever since.
