There he met a live wire of a student Saka, who confessed to him on the very first day! A person who has never had any experience in love, can he believe in something called "love at first sight?"

Chapter 1Chapter 1: A new start

Beep, beep, beep...

Vira groggily tried to turn off his alarm. Mentally, he wasn't prepared to wake up yet. 

Wait... it was today... he couldn't afford to sleep in. He jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.

Today was his first day at Mann High School. Mann was a small fishing village island, off the coast of Marina, which was his hometown, with about 500 families. The people here thrived on agriculture and fishing. A forty-five-minute boat ride away from his coastal city, he decided to move to the island to avoid the hassle of traveling. Not that he left anything behind that mattered to him.

Mann had only one school, with modest facilities and, hopefully, eager kids.

Vira was one of those very few people who became a teacher because he wanted to make a difference in the lives of children. He had had a couple of amazing teachers who made him realize a teacher could make or break a student, and he wanted to be the former.

He hated politics and gossiping, and a staff room was full of both. But at the place he worked previously, he realized that everything from grading a student to their treatment depended on how affluent their parents were. It was one reason he had resigned from his previous school. Marina High School was one of the best in the country, and he used to work there, but he realized he couldn't work in such a toxic environment. He tried fighting for the kids but ended up being ostracized by his colleagues. He had an abundance of "Teacher's pride" and could not change himself for the sake of the job or the money.

Disillusioned with his job in the city, he decided to move to the countryside, where he hoped he could do justice to his conscience.

He checked himself in the mirror to make sure nothing was amiss. He adjusted his glasses, big square aviators with a very thin green frame that suited his face and made him look young without giving him a geeky appearance. The school hadn't specified a dress code for the staff, so he decided to wear a formal white shirt and gray pants. One could never go wrong with that.

Grabbing his trusty old mobile phone, he hopped onto his bicycle and rushed off to school.

He had just arrived in Mann over the weekend and hadn't explored the island yet or unpacked his belongings. The clothes and basic items were stacked in boxes, but the house was yet to be set up. He'd do it later. He had taken the road to school on Sunday, just to make sure he wouldn't be late on his first day. The school was open and accessible on all days, so he had the time to study the parking, staffroom, and classroom layout.

Since he was starting almost immediately, he hadn't gone around introducing himself to his neighbours yet, as common courtesy demanded. He would have to start doing that from now on.

Vira arrived early and parked his bicycle at the small parking shed at the back of the school. Then, he walked toward the staff room.The only person he knew on this entire island at the moment was the Principal. He was an old man, easily in his sixties, short and plump, but with an extremely cheerful face and sharp eyes. He had conducted his interview and offered him the position immediately. 

During the interview, the Principal had said, "The pay won't be high, but the job will be rewarding. I started here as a teacher 40 years ago, and not a single day has passed when I've regretted it. I hope you will say these words too, someday."

Vira wasn't very sure about it; he had replied, "I hope I will too."

The Principal had laughed and patted his shoulder, saying, "I know you will."

Maybe it was the Principal; he didn't know, but he was looking forward to working again.

He walked into the staff room. A couple of guys were already there, chatting animatedly, one sitting on the desk of another. They were about his age, maybe a bit younger.

"Excuse me?" Vira said as he stood next to their table.

They both looked at him.

"Hello, erm... I'm Vira. I start work today."

The one on the desk hopped down and grabbed his hand. "Hey Vira! I'm Laika, and this is Roma," he said, pointing to the guy on the chair.

Roma got up with a wide smile and shook his hands warmly.

"You're quite early for the first day! We had heard about you coming from the principal last week. Welcome to Mann!"

Vira felt the warmth behind their smiles and their handshake.

"Thank you! I look forward to working with you guys."

"Say, Vira, how old are you?" asked Laika.

"I'm 26," he replied, adjusting his glasses. He was not an extrovert, so walking up to people and talking to them was not exactly his second nature; it did make him a bit nervous. But these guys, he thought, he could certainly get along with.

"Oh! You're a year older than Roma and me. Shouldn't matter... then we can call you by your name, right? You wouldn't mind?"

The local custom was to address those older than them as "sens" and those younger to them as "juns", unless they were in professional fields like medicine or teaching, where they were called "maws".

Vira smiled and said, "Not at all!"

When he smiled, he let his guard down and flashed that dimple which caught both the guys unaware. He was too cute.

Laika sighed and said, "If not for my boyfriend, I would have proposed to you this instant... that smile of yours will sway even the saint's heart."

Vira laughed, "What a flirt! But thank you."

Roma said, "Let us show you around. We have some time till the term start assembly. That is a pain that goes for an hour. After that, you will have to come back to be briefed on the syllabus before being assigned to a class as their homeroom teacher."

Laika chipped in, "You will probably be assigned to that devil's class."

"The devil's class?" asked Vira, with a quizzical expression on his face.

"Ah... The devil. You'll know him when you see him. His colored red hair that covers his nape, those flashy piercings on his right ear, that smart mouth, and his overly flashy entrance...He seldom comes on time, threatens teachers, and leaves when he pleases. Why, today, just see for yourself, he won't be there at the assembly."

"Oh! Didn't you reprimand him?"

"The guy before you tried… he ended up in a well. Rumors are that he was kidnapped overnight and pushed into a well. But you can't trust rumors. All I know is that it scared the poor guy so much, he forgot to speak for a month." Laika shook his head sadly. "There is no one who can control him. He has two other kids in his gang, the Terrible Three they are called, who kiss the ground he walks on, as violent as him. Try not to make eye contact with them. And if you meet him outside of class, go in the opposite direction."

Vira looked very serious. This kid scared even the teachers. This was serious. He had to think carefully as to how to handle this case.

Roma pulled Laika to the side and whispered. "Poor guy, let's stop now."

Laika smiled wickedly, "Let me have some fun, it's not often I get this satisfaction."

"Saka is going to kill you when he finds out what you've done to him," Roma commented, shaking his head.

"I certainly run faster than him." Laika replied, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

Vira was still lost in his thoughts. Laika gently pushed him saying, "Don't worry too much, for now, let me show you class 12, and then we'll walk to the stadium."

Vira nodded his head and followed Roma and Laika.

Song of the Gardener of Souls [BL]

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"

My Dear Duke(BL)

On his 20th birthday, Asher's mother confessed something he never expected. After the truth was revealed, she died giving her last blessing to him. That's when Asher found himself all alone, confused about his own identity and worrying about his future. What did she say? -He was someone special? -Someone people would come after? She said he was coming from a very rare but also a very special race called omega where men could get pregnant. Was it real? At first, Asher strictly refused to accept his mother's confession. But in the end, he had to believe it. Because it was the bitter truth. If he was really coming from such a rare race, and had such a special body, did he have to live all his life hiding so he wouldn't get caught and become someone's plaything? Was that the only way to avoid getting the bad ending his father got? Why was he even born as someone like this?! He just wanted a peaceful life. So, it wouldn't be as dangerous as his mother said if he just forgot he was special and lived like a normal person, right? People would not notice. Alas, it's been a long time since people last saw an omega and they must be believing no omega exists now. At least that's what he thought... He thought people might have forgotten about his existence and he would not have to face any problems in the future.  Whether he was special or not, he still became a target. When he was kidnapped and auctioned as a slave, he regretted ignoring his mother's last advice. "Don't trust anyone easily. Your safety is in your hands and protecting yourself is your duty." He could only blame himself and expect for the worst if his special identity was to get revealed and meet the same end as his father did. However, his fate gave him a second chance along with a huge surprise which changed his life for the better. Hopefully, Asher was saved by the so-called 'bloodthirsty monster' duke and brought to his mansion to babysit his spoiled 10-year-old little sister who threw tantrums declaring she wants Asher to pat her head and comfort her. Just to babysit this adorable, little girl.  He was safe. His secret was also secured within himself. Thanks to that chaotic sister and brother, Asher's life slowly took new turns and continued with almost no obstacles...till some point. The surprise? The duke happened to have some kind of a 'strange' illness that had no cure. Not long after when Asher discovered it, he ended up becoming the perfect cure for his illness. But how? -Remember? He was 'special'! Where would his specialty as an omega lead his life to? What kind of mysteries would he have to encounter with this duke wishing comfort from him?  Will the duke's 'strange' illness ever get healed? How would their story flow to that perfect happy ending with the twist of love landing in the middle of their 'just a deal'? ________________ Note:  This story continues in a historical timeline. Similar to omegaverse, but not the same omegaverse universe. Magic, revenge, dukes, royal families, curses, spells, heats, ruts... (The book cover is from Pinterest. Respect to the artist.)
