The brotherhood of Damian and Raphael is put to the test because Raphael has chosen to support the government. As supplies become scarce, villagers and soldiers become increasingly tense.

Isabella finds peace in her work while Damian's fate is unknown. A child asks Isabella in the final scene whether war will return. She leaves a hauntingly unanswered response. More than just mist was carried by the highlands' air. It carried the spirits of the living-women who buried their dreams in the ground and men who fought like beasts. While his mother wept alongside her, Isabella Sanchez applied a damp cloth to a boy's bleeding shoulder. Camphor, blood, and prayer were all present in the old chapel that had been converted into a clinic, but none of them were sufficient. The mother spoke softly, "They came in the night." "Again." Isabella gave a nod. She no longer inquired about "they." When you were digging graves in the morning, everyone looked the same-mercenaries, troops from the government, and rebels. The fog outside rolled like an army down the hills. She could make out Damian Philips's silhouette behind the broken stained glass, rifle in hand, eyes scanning the horizon. He hadn't slept. His once-soft hands were now callused from conflict. They trembled when they touched hers, perhaps out of love or guilt. He whispered, "Lopez is back," in a low voice. "Assumes that he is writing about peace." "Is that now what they call it?" She replied in a hollow tone. With promises, a press badge, and a camera, Hernandez Lopez had arrived. He spoke of international aid and the Geneva Conventions, but his eyes were sharp and calculated. He was seeking the truth, but which version was it? The silence was broken by a loud knock. Ander Thomas, the last law enforcement figure in the village, intervened. His uniform was filthy, the buttons weren't matched, and his badge was hanging loosely, like it had been forgotten. Ander mumbled, "We got problems." "Raphael's group is approaching from the east. sweep by the government." Damian became stern. "A brother?" Ander nodded grimly. Between them, Isabella looked around. "He will slay you." Damian responded, "Only if he finds me." However, the optimism in his voice was reflected in the way his fingers twisted around the rifle's butt. Blurb When Isabella Sanchez, a principled journalist turned activist, stumbles upon a covert scheme to traffic stolen military hardware, she doesn't just unearth a scandal-she triggers a war. A private investigator discovers a family secret as she investigates further: her late father, Colonel Rafael Sanchez, held a $200 million life insurance policy that was intended for the family and contained money that could either save or destroy them. But not everyone wants the truth exposed. Hunted by traitors, politicians, and mercenaries, Isabella must navigate treachery from those she once trusted. The vow of justice leads to a vengeance that no one could have foreseen in a world filled with shocking secrets and sinister motives. --- Chapter One: A Funeral of Shadows The rain fell like needles on the old stone chapel. Isabella Sanchez was barely able to breathe as she stood by her father's casket. Colonel Rafael Sanchez, a war hero, strategist, and father, has passed away, and his body has been classified as "enemy contact."

Wrong Room, Right Mistake
Paula wanted nothing more than to dig Alejandro's long-lashed, intense blue eyes out with a butter knife and mail them to the rest of the Laurent family. Too bad they were stuck at Carlo's fancy wedding which is way too public, way too packed with important people. "You don't think I'll hit the button?" Alejandro's warm breath teased her ear. She still had no clue why she had agreed to the vibrating thong dare. Now it was too late to back out. Paula shot a look at the smug man next to her. "Honestly? I don't care. It won't do a thing to me." "Lovely Paula," he whispered and then surprised her by flicking his tongue right into her ear. She jumped and glared, trying to ignore the guests at their table... including her dad. Before she could swear at him, Alejandro pressed the button. The curse died in her throat and turned into soft moans she couldn't quite hide. She gripped the table edge hard as the vibe hit her clit like a sudden burn. Her father frowned across the table, worried. Alejandro's voice slid back into her ear. "Before the night is over, Paula, we're going to fuck," he promised, letting go of the remote. "And this time, it'll be my name you scream."/1/125619/coverorgin.jpg?v=c23a501a82999688e198e68e2f8fe6b5&imageMogr2/format/webp)
The Secret Awakened Bloodline Of His Broken Mate
I was diagnosed with Soul Withering Syndrome, a high-risk condition where the wolf inside me was slowly starving to death. Full of hope, I went to find my mate, Gideon—the top healer in the alliance—desperate to find a shred of comfort from him. But as I stood outside his office, I heard him coldly state that I was just being unreasonable. "Chloe is weaponizing her anxiety to force me into a mating ceremony." He could not even be bothered to glance at my official medical scroll, instead accusing me of faking my pain just to steal his attention away from his obsession, the rogue wolf Yara. And when Yara called, lying about an obviously fabricated poisoning incident, he abandoned me without hesitation. He left me shivering in the freezing hallway, and eventually, due to the backlash of my withering soul, I coughed up pitch-black blood. For seven years, I had been waiting for him to see my pain. I could not understand how the man who had once exchanged mating tokens with me could be so blind. He let my soul rot in the dark, yet paraded himself as a loyal hero, running around at the beck and call of a woman full of lies. I did not shed a single tear, because my heart was already completely dead. Then, without hesitation, I threw his silver mate ring fiercely into the trash can. I contacted my family and accepted an arranged marriage—to wed the most feared Alpha in the alliance, Silas. This time, I chose to live for myself./1/128864/coverorgin.jpg?v=c06a7471aad111a6e681a54fca7f2377&imageMogr2/format/webp)
