Insta Love

Fleeing from my cruel father and an unwanted marriage, I fell into the hands of a dangerous man. Only in his arms did I feel truly alive for the first time.

What could a student artist and an ambitious head of a construction company have in common? This was the question Sonya kept asking herself, after spending several days drawing portraits of this charismatic Yeti. "What charmed me about her? I just couldn't figure it out," wondered the driven and serious man, whose thoughts were constantly consumed by the talented and spontaneous girl. Humor, summer, love, Odesa...

She is Anna, the daughter of a famous businessman Stepan Somov. Since school years she has been in love with a man whom she has seen once in her life. He is Vladislav Sokolovsky, the head of a famous company, a wealthy, self-confident and very attractive man. And one day their paths will cross again. “I come closer, my legs start to tremble again, my heartbeat quickens, my body is pierced by an electric current when I see his face… – This can’t be, – involuntarily breaks out in me, and tears drip from her eyes. – Call an ambulance! God! It’s Vlad! The same Vlad, from whose look my heart jumps like crazy. This is the one whom I could not forget for so many years, although we never saw each other again. This is not how I imagined our meeting…”

He was as handsome as the god Apollo, and as hot as molten lava. He was the one who took my first time—and then acted like I never existed. For a whole year, I tried to erase him from my memory. But now, he’s back in my life. Now he’s my stepbrother. Cold, indifferent, and clearly not happy to see me in his house. But that coldness? That indifference? It falls apart the moment he sees me next to his brother.

I thought I knew what I wanted. Turns out, I had no idea. For so long, I was in love with the perfect guy at our university—charming, flawless, completely out of reach. And just when he finally starts noticing me… …I'm locked in a classroom with a completely unbearable stranger—a new student. He annoys me, frustrates me, and is absolutely not my type. But he sees right through my perfect little world—and starts tearing it down. Now I can’t get him out of my head. Even when the guy I wanted for so long is finally within reach. They’re total opposites. So why does this new guy make my heart race for all the wrong reasons?

And then came that evening — the one when, in just three hours, I managed to watch three movies about great love, eat all the popcorn, and cry at a cat food commercial. That’s when I realized: enough is enough! It was time to take fate into my own hands. If love wasn’t going to find me on its own, I’d go find it — with a clear plan, a timer, notes, a Google Calendar, and possibly a small panic attack every three days. I declared war on loneliness. And, as practice showed, in this war the first casualties were my nerves, my wallet… and my dignity.

Dorian Hayes is a former soldier with a turbulent past, haunted by both physical and mental scars.

The first time I heard your voice, I fell in love... with it. I dreamed about him at night and never left my thoughts. It's a pity that a guy like you is not deprived of female attention and will never look at me the way I would like. But everything will change when we start working closely together. I will get to know you better, and you will realize how deep my soul is. This will be my first true love. I won't be able to live without you and your voice. And you will say that I am your inspiration. We will plunge into these feelings headlong. We will breathe them... Our story must have a happy ending... But will it be? And how many trials will we have to go through to stay together in the end?

Each kingdom must have its own prophecy - it has been so from the beginning. But what if there are as many as five of these prophecies? And each of them tells about different things, each of them almost contradicts each other. But if you do nothing at all, then of course some terrible disaster will happen. This is exactly what the crown prince Advian will have to deal with, because only he is able to save his kingdom from destruction. But he cannot avert the disaster alone, he will have to call for help a girl from the human world... But, as they say, not everything is as we wish it to be!

My breath is catching in my throat, and I'm afraid I'm going to faint. None of this can be true. The Hunter I met in London can't be this Hunter. But he is. It is. Hunter finally focuses his gaze on me and breaks stride. He stops and draws his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose. Surprised? “Good afternoon,” I shake his hand and really hope that my voice sounds even. "My name is Daria. Hunter," he puts his hand in mine, and it feels like time is standing still. It's a pleasure, Dasha. I think this will be an interesting task for me. I'm glad I agreed. And I guess Myron was right. I should be more interested in football. I'll try to improve.

"P-p-pregnant?" I stammered, my voice shaking like jelly. "Uh-huh," the nurse replied, with a ridiculously cheerful smile considering the bomb she had just dropped on me. "Congratulations, future mom." Congratulations? CONGRATULATIONS!? This isn't a wedding! Or a birthday! Not even a passed exam! This is… the end. Or at least, my end. Hooking up with the school’s bad boy. Once. Well… three times. Okay, four. Doesn't matter. The point is, it was a very bad idea. And now I'm pregnant. By him. And no one can know. Well… you can. But promise me you won’t laugh. Or at least, do it quietly. Because this… this is going to be an adorable disaster.

She wasn’t searching for love—just a moment of peace in the arms of a stranger, a brief escape from the pain her husband's betrayal had left behind. He wasn’t chasing romance either. Fulfilling a promise to an old friend was all he meant to do— until he met her. The Siren. They were never meant to fall. But destiny, with its festive sense of timing, had a different idea. Because some hearts meet not by accident, but when the soul is finally ready… even if it takes one magical Christmas night to make it happen.

In a world of werewolves, where power means everything, half-wolf Valeyna hides her true nature behind a mask. Alpha Kael is searching for his mate, but can he recognize the mysterious stranger who appears at the ball? She had no right to awaken his instincts. He had no right to want only her. But the full moon changes everything.

I wanted to run away, to escape without direction. Then I met her— I stumbled upon an angel, never imagining that from that night on, she would be the only melody my hands would long to play. I didn’t know it right away. A night I would never forget… I left my marks on her skin, and she etched her name into my soul. I made her mine… and then she was gone. “I can’t get her out of me. I thought I loved another woman, and that she—this angel—would play her part in helping me win that woman back.” That was my plan, but she is an angel I couldn’t resist—an angel made for me. She is the perfect melody, one never before played. All rights reserved. No part of this work may be distributed, adapted, or copied in any form, in whole or in part. Copyright © 2023.
