The Affinity of Fate

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

Whispers In The Waves

Whispers in the Waves Vee, a university student on the last day of her vacation, travels to visit her childhood best friend, Brie, in a foreign country. Amid stunning beaches and a world of new experiences, Vee reconnects with Brie and meets Rui, Brie's longtime friend and the man who has been quietly captivated by her ever since they crossed paths. What starts as a lighthearted reunion soon evolves into something more complicated, as feelings and unspoken tensions begin to surface. Despite Vee’s growing attraction to Rui, she is determined to keep her distance. Rui is charming and enigmatic, but he is also bound by family expectations and an arranged relationship. Yet, he cannot deny the connection he feels with Vee, a connection that refuses to stay quiet in the shadows. As the days pass, both Vee and Rui must grapple with their feelings for each other, knowing that their lives and their futures may pull them in different directions. When Vee decides to leave, their final moments together are charged with lingering emotions and unspoken words. With one last kiss, Vee leaves, carrying the weight of her unacknowledged feelings as she returns to her life back home. But the connection between her and Rui is not easily forgotten. Both find themselves wondering if their paths will cross again, and if love, like the waves crashing against the shore, can be as fleeting as it is eternal. Whispers in the Waves is a poignant tale of love, longing, and the quiet pull of emotions that can change the course of two lives, even when they are separated by distance and time.
