I can’t... no, I don’t want to remember what I was like before this happened. I should’ve been smarter, I should’ve listened to myself. I shouldn't have lied to Mom, or to anyone else. I should’ve told them where I was ​actually​ going. The memories of that morning’s chill of the fall air, the leaves under my feet...and the guilt on my chest. Side note: There are only 11 chapters.

"You're always talking about chocolate..." - his fingers slid under Sasha's chin, tilting his face up as he leaned closer, lips ghosting his ear - "but tell me, baby... would you let me find out if you're just as sweet?" Sasha blinking up at him, soft and wide-eyed, cheeks flushed: "Wha-? You're... you're weird," he mumbled, wriggling but not really pulling away, his little fingers gripping Dominic's shirt. Then, quieter, as his pout deepened. "...But you can't eat me. 'M not chocolate..." Dominic's lips curled into a dark, hungry smirk as he murmured back: "Oh, baby... you taste better than chocolate. And don't worry-" his fingers traced the line of Sasha's throat - "I don't plan on stopping at just one bite." ---- He was sugar in human form. Sweet. Fluffy. And a little messy around the edges. Sasha Clarke doesn't understand grumpy people - especially not the kind who glare at his chocolate cake like it personally offended them. But when a surly, sharp-eyed stranger mistakes him for his blind date and hijacks his afternoon, Sasha's world gets a whole lot more... interesting. Dominic Vale doesn't do sweet. Not desserts, not people, and definitely not wide-eyed little twinks who talk too much and lick frosting off their fingers without a care in the world. But there's something about Sasha - the way he giggles through his pouts, the way he makes everything soft and warm without even trying - that gets under his skin. He tells himself it's just a passing craving. But Sasha? Sasha plans to make sure Dominic gets hooked. A story of chocolate, sass, and a grumpy man who never stood a chance against sugar in human form.

The world changed in the blink of an eye as a massive shockwave tore through the planet, its energy reverberating through the very fabric of the earth and touching every human soul. Nothing would ever be the same again. That day marked a turning point for humanity. With every individual imbued with power or ability, some grew animal parts as an extension of their new gifts, while others transformed into lost souls or phantoms, destined to haunt the earth. The phantoms, driven by malice, unleashed havoc across the globe assaulting humanity, structures, and nature itself. Some materializing with a physical form, while others were more like wraiths, wreaking havoc from beyond the veil. Unbeknownst to humanity a hierarchy of power began to emerge. Those who had animal parts found themselves bestowed with unique abilities, their powers distinct and formidable. In contrast, humans without the animal traits possessed more generic abilities, their powers less extraordinary but still significant in their own right. Among the transformed, those without animal traits discovered they had basic elemental abilities manipulating fire, water, earth, and air and telekinetic powers. These capabilities though impressive, were more generalized. In contrast, the humans with animal traits possessed powers that were more unique as their physical changes. They exhibited abilities that mirrored their animal traits, such as enhanced speed, acute senses, or even the power to heal rapidly. Some even developed entirely new skills that defied conventional understanding, marking them as extraordinary in the new world. Chaos reigned in the new world as the old laws crumbled and new tensions arose. A rift formed between the humans without animal traits and those who had transformed. The former saw the latter as dangerous and unpredictable, while the individuals with animal traits felt ostracized and unfairly scrutinized, their powers and traits misunderstood and feared. Humanity fractured, with groups forming and claiming territories based on their differences. The majority isolated themselves from those with animal traits, and vice versa, as mistrust ran deep. However, in certain areas, small bands of people defied this trend, staying together despite their differences, united in their efforts to rebuild and protect themselves from the relentless phantoms that attacked without warning. Across the fractured world, human and human-trait groups alike took up the mantle of discovery. They banded together in search of answers, traversing continents in pursuit of any clue that might explain the transformation that had upended their lives. Following the path of the shockwave, they moved forward with a mix of determination and uncertainty, knowing that the truth or danger lay ahead.
