He sighed and his gaze shifted to me. His grey orbs stared with such intensity that I started to get anxious. He shook his head and ran a hand down his face. He looked at me normally this time.
"My father didn't want to share he had a son since I would become a target and the mafia needs to have a heir, which is me. He entered me to this agency since I was young to at least know how to defend myself and all that." He answered staring at his hands nervously.
"Oh," I said, it was all I could say.
Valentino stood up and suggested we go to his room to discuss the topic further. We all agreed and followed him up the stairs and to his room.
His room was a light shade of grey. His king-sized bed was in the middle of the room and there was a window beside each side. There were some clothes scattered on the floor. There were shelves on the other side of the wall with small pictures.
There was a door on the other side of the wall that probably went to his bathroom or
closet.
There was a desk with a laptop on top of it.
Wait a damn minute, that's my laptop.
"Get comfortable." Valentino suggested to all of us. He didn't even have to say twice as Kai and Leo immediately went to his bed to sit down. I didn't feel that comfortable towards Valentino yet, so I sat on his desk chair.
Valentino looked at me with a raised eyebrow and shook his head slowly. "What?" I asked spinning in the chair.
"Nothing." He turned around and started pacing back and forth in his room. "Athena." I raised my head at my name as Valentino called it. I looked at him waiting for an explanation. "You know how to hack right?" I raised an eyebrow at his comment.

"Sorry sorry, that was a stupid question. What I meant to say was can you hack into the guest list and put our names on it?" He asked as he stopped pacing and stood in front of me. I needed to lift my head to look at him, I was seated and he was standing up.
My eyes shined with excitement and I smirked looking at him. "Count on me but-" I turned on my seat to look at the desk. "Give memmy laptop."
He leaned towards the desk with an arm on the desk. I could feel his body warmth radiating from him. His masculine scent was overwhelming as I breathed it in with no effort.
My breath hitched in my throat, he grabbed my laptop with his other hand and leaned away from me. His body warmth immediately went away and I felt coldness surround my body, chills ran down my spine and I let out the breath I had.
Valentino gave me my laptop and walked to his bed and sat down, joking and laughing with Kai and Leo. His eyes shined when he was happy and his dimples called attention. His eyes squinted as he rumbled with laughter.
I shook my head and turned around in my seat and put my laptop on the desk and turned it on. A grin appeared on my face as I ran my fingers through the keyboards. A week ago I would have never thought I'd be hacking a mafia, I first searched his bank account and saw that this guy had about 6 accounts that were loaded with money.
I found the account in which he bought invitations. I wrote down his email in a paper nearby. I inserted the email into my laptop. A tab came up asking for the password, fuck. I entered a lot of symbols and codes into the bar and another tab came up. The screen turned green with a lot of numbers scattered through it.

I felt breathing on the top of my head and I jumped surprised. My head hit something hard and I grunted rubbing my head. I turned around in my seat and was met with blue and grey orbs.
Leo was rubbing his chin and Valentino was staring at my laptop screen. "What the hell?!" I asked looking at both of them.
Leo rolled his eyes playfully, "Sorry, I just wanted to see how you hack" he smiled sheepishly at his confession.
I smiled back and nodded. I turned around on my seat, ready to continue but I felt breathing in my ear. "Can you stop breathing on my ear?" I said, it didn't sound like a question but more like an order.
"Pff no, I wanna see" his deep, husky voice answered. I rubbed both sides of my head in a circular motion and closed my eyes.
"Well, I can't continue if you keep breathing on my damn ear!" I turned my head to look at him. His face centimeters away from mine. I could feel his breath on my lips, my eyes widened as he stared into mine. He suddenly grinned and whispered "I.don't.care."
I groaned and pushed him off my face. He stumbled back not expecting it, he started laughing as he held his stomach. His chest vibrated with laughter. His eyes squinted and his eyebrows were furrowed. I tried keeping a straight face but I saw myself smiling. I rolled my eyes playfully.
"You should have seen your face." He wheezed out. He was panting. "Fuck, my stomach hurts now." He said rubbing his stomach but he was still chuckling
"You're annoying." I said looking at him.
"Well if that's the case, I think you're annoying too." He smiled standing up straight. He walked away towards his bed and lay there.
My head followed his movements as I was perplexed by what just happened.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.
