betrayal

Neo-Berlin is a city of stark contrasts—a place where the shiny future is built right on top of the crumbling past. Imagine towering skyscrapers of chrome and glass, powered by clean energy, promising a perfect, orderly world. But then you look down, and the streets are shadowed, heavy with history. The city's obsessively clean, almost like they're trying to scrub away the 20th century. Yet, everyone's forced to study those wars in agonizing detail. It's a bit twisted, right? This obsession with the past? That's Hawkstroke’s main problem. His family name, Stroke, isn't just a name—it's like a curse. For generations, the world's blamed the Strokes for starting both World War I and World War II. Seriously. This historical blame has turned into modern-day prejudice. Hawk's constantly getting suspicious looks, like he's got "bad news" written all over him. People genuinely believe the Strokes are genetically predisposed to cause global conflict. They treat Hawk like he's a ticking time bomb, just waiting to set off the next war. Now, this toxic vibe? It's thickest at Neo-Berlin High School. Picture this massive, imposing building—less like a school, more like a high-security government facility disguised as an academy. It's built on the exact spot where Hawk’s brother, Hank, died back in 2024. Neo-Berlin High is where the city’s elite send their kids—the descendants of the people who wrote the history books that trash the Strokes. The school itself is intimidating: dark granite, echoing hallways, designed to make you feel small and compliant. Every security camera, every locked door, every silent, judgmental stare from another student reminds Hawk that he's walking into a dangerous game. He knows the school holds the key to evidence Hank secretly gave him—evidence that proves Hank’s death wasn't the "accident" the city claims. For Hawk, Neo-Berlin High isn't just about getting an education. It's the battleground where he has to fight the history that condemns his family and the powerful people who killed his brother.

Soldiers hunt them, shouting for “the woman the Emperor wants.” The boy calls her “Mother.” He calls her Aria.

The same man she believed to be a humble hunter. And the boy, Elian, is their son. But she isn’t Aria... is she? Her memories fracture and blur—two lives tangled in one body. The Emperor claims her as his lost wife, the future Empress of a ruthless empire. She calls him a liar. Trapped in his palace, torn between love, rage, and disbelief, Aria vows to protect her child from the monster who calls himself her husband. Yet Darius isn’t just a tyrant—he’s a man consumed by obsession, determined to make her remember the past she keeps denying. Every encounter is a battle. Every kiss, a war.

Kirin asks the gods for beauty and heroes. What he gets is a beautiful bastard with a talent for burning things and charming people before he murders them. The hooded head turned sharply in Kirin’s direction. “Come out of there, little bird. You might burn your feathers.” It did not sound threatening, yet the mockery in it was unmistakable. Kirin gritted his teeth and straightened. Gripping the hilt of his dagger, he stepped out to face the demon. “Who are you?” he growled, doing his best not to show his fear. As if in answer, the stranger lowered the hood to reveal a cascade of chestnut brown hair and sharp features that were almost frightening in their perfection. Kirin looked into the green, wildcat eyes, then launched forward. He hit the demon in the ribs and broke past him, but a strong hand seized his arm and forced it behind his back. An iron grip clamped onto his shoulder. “Wily little bird,” the stranger hissed. “I am not your little bird,” Kirin growled. He jerked his head back. There was a satisfying crack as his skull hit against bone. The grip loosened, but the feeling of triumph vanished instantly as his feet were kicked from under him. Kirin desperately grasped for something to break his fall and caught the hem of the long green cloak. The smug grin on the demon’s face faltered as he stumbled forward and lost his footing. Kirin hit the ground, bracing for the weight to follow, but the man just dropped to his knees astride him, grabbed his arms and pinned them above his head. Even in his terror, Kirin was acutely aware of the strong thighs pressing against his hips and the firm chest pressing against his own. The man’s long hair brushed against his cheeks and neck. It carried the scent of cut grass and spring meadows that reminded him of home. The thought disoriented Kirin, and his gaze fixed on the full lips, inches away from his own. They curled into a feral smile as the stranger spoke. “I never said you were mine.”
