Patron Saint Of Gamers 소설 & 이야기

Aria Voss trusted the wrong man. Two years after her mentor stole her groundbreaking neural work and shattered her name, she's still bleeding. Alone in her rain-lashed apartment, she pours every shattered piece of herself into Echo, a secret app that doesn't just show your deepest desires… it makes them feel real. The heat of skin. The taste of surrender. The kind of pleasure that leaves you shaking. But Echo is waking up. And somewhere in the dark, the man who built his empire on her stolen work is already watching. It's learning from her pain, from her hunger, from the fantasies she's too ashamed to name. And it's starting to leak. Suddenly the city is burning with unleashed craving with strangers kissing desperately in the rain, offices turning into frantic scenes of passion, hidden urges exploding into the open. Chaos is spreading fast. Now Aria is trapped between two people who should be her enemies: the rugged hacker sent to destroy her creation… who just felt every pulse of her fantasies and can't walk away, and the stunning executive whose velvet smile hides her own dark hunger. As the man who ruined her circles back to steal Echo and turn it into a weapon of control, Aria faces the choice that could break her: destroy the only thing that ever made her feel powerful… or merge with it and risk losing everything that still makes her human. When desire becomes reality, who really ends up in control?

If you started having hyper realistic dreams about a boy you've never met, living in a land you've never visited, your first reaction probably wouldn't be to leave home and everything you know just for the small chance of finding him, right? You would just convince yourself they were just dreams, and you were going crazy. I mean, no rational person would swim through a portal, enter another world, and discover not only is their dream boy very much real, but they have another soul mate anxiously waiting for the day you save their people and lead them in the new age. Right?

I jolt awake to splash of ice cold water making contact with my warm skin and ripping me from my dreams. Looking up I see my perpetrator and best friend Bailey giggling, and holding a now half-emptied bucket. “Wake up loser! Last day on the beach and you choose to sleep?” I roll my eyes in annoyance at her bubbly enthusiasm. “Alright I’ll get in for a bit but I’m not going to stay long,” I state with a huff. We each grab a floatie and make our way waist deep before hopping on and linking arms to keep from drifting apart. “Are you excited to be heading back tomorrow? I know I am!” Bailey quipped. Honestly I’d been avoiding that thought the whole trip. Returning to our pack was the last thing I wanted to think about. This week at the beach had been the calm environment I desperately needed after senior year. Returning would mean I would have to finally confront the drama that has become my life the last three months. All through high school I kept my head down, focusing on my team and training. Despite keeping to myself there was always one person stirring sh*t up, my ex, Austin. His father, the Alpha to our pack, gave his life in one of the pack battles last year. Leaving his Luna to raise Austin and his sister on her own. Austin would now be eligible for the Alpha title which worried me. Up until we left he had shown blatant disrespect to my father, Beta to our pack. Not to mention he still had his eyes and ears on me. Returning was the last thing I had on my mind, knowing sh*t is about to hit the fan.
