Nine Lives in Neon Lights

In the heart of Tokyo's neon-lit chaos, Akira Yamamoto thought her biggest problem was surviving university and her part-time job at a 24-hour convenience store. That was before the night she died—and came back. When a freak accident should have killed her, Akira awakens to find a fox tail sprouting from her spine and the supernatural world of Tokyo laid bare before her eyes. Half-human, half-kitsune, she's thrust into a hidden society where vampires run multinational corporations, werewolf packs claim territory through corporate mergers, and witches brew more than just coffee in Shibuya's underground. But power comes with a price. Each new tail Akira grows makes her more supernatural—and less human. As she navigates the treacherous politics of Tokyo's supernatural elite, she finds herself caught between four irresistible forces: **Ryouta Kuroda** - A centuries-old vampire CEO whose cold exterior hides burning desire and dangerous secrets that could destroy them both. **Takeshi Mori** - The fierce werewolf pack leader fighting to protect his territory from supernatural gentrification, whose protective instincts awaken something primal in Akira. **Yuki Sato** - A brilliant witch-hacker whose family's ancient magic merged with cutting-edge technology makes her both Akira's greatest ally and most dangerous temptation. **Hiroshi Tanaka** - Her achingly normal human best friend whose love might be the anchor that keeps her humanity intact—if she can keep him alive long enough. As corporate wars rage in boardrooms and ancient grudges spill blood in back alleys, Akira must master her growing powers before they consume her humanity entirely. But in a city where loyalty is bought, love is weaponized, and every supernatural being has an agenda, the greatest danger might be her own heart. Some secrets are worth dying for. Others are worth killing for. And some will cost you everything you thought you were. **Nine lives, nine tails, infinite possibilities—and one choice that will change everything.**

Falling for my Enemy’s Brother

"Craig," she whispered, breath shivering, "please…" It didn't matter what she was asking for…more, less, everything. The plea alone made them press hard against each other, like their bodies were trying to make up for all the time they'd been apart, like they could consume each other if they touched harder. And still, she ached. For all of him. And he did too. She could tell by the way his grip on her thighs tightened, his fingers digging into her skin like he was holding on for dear life. His breath warm and uneven against her neck, as her hips rolled again, slower this time, more deliberate. Then he groaned, head falling to her shoulder as his body pressed in, hard and hungry. "Shit," he whispered, voice ragged. "Merlina," And just like that, his mouth was gone. She blinked, dazed, lips swollen, skin tingling everywhere he'd touched. He stepped back, slow and heavy with restraint, hands gripping the edge of the sink on either side of her, like he needed to hold something that wasn't her. Her voice came out in a whisper. "Why'd you stop?" His eyes met hers, dark and wrecked. But then, he smirked. "Not with your siblings next door." She stared, barely able to think. He leaned in like he might kiss her again, then stopped just short, brushing his thumb over swollen bottom lip, "PG-13 remember?" SYNOPSIS: At an elite college, falling for the cold, narcissistic son of a bi-llionaire wasn’t part of the plan, especially when his brother is tied to her mother’s mysterious death. But from the moment Merlina steps into campus, the chemistry is undeniable. He’s detached, arrogant, and everything she should stay away from. Yet no matter how hard she tries, she can’t ignore the pull. She’s here for a degree, but her real mission is uncovering the secrets of her mother’s past at this very school. As sparks fly between her and the guy she should keep her distance from, she’s torn between two things: exposing the truth and protecting her heart from falling for him. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous things get. Anonymous threats, dark secrets, and a guy who’s starting to think her obsession with the past could ruin everything. TikTok | @officialffmeb
