    Summary

    Chan, the campus golden boy, gets paired with Lee Minho, the infamous, scentless, cold, ice prince from the dance department. His task is simple on paper: produce a song that Minho will choreograph and perform. Needless to say, this assignment is worth twenty-five percent of their final grade.

    Minho exhales, hands trembling as he presses new scent blockers. His skin burns, his head hurts, he's drowning. But like every day, he slips into the persona he has perfected. Distant. Controlled. Untouchable. Because it’s the only way he knows how to survive.

    Summary

    After escaping an abusive compound, Yeosang has sworn to never trust anyone ever again. He’s alone, and he prefers it that way. He’s already made it through the end of one winter and, with the arrival of spring, he thinks he has a good shot at surviving for a while. His rules keep him alive, especially the most important — no communication with anyone, not even to save their life.

    Then he sees a cute, chubby-cheeked man with a gummy smile and big muscles fall beneath a horde of zombies and he can’t help but break his rules. Saving Jongho’s life was a mistake he can’t bring himself to regret, not even when it leads to him breaking all of his rules just to see that smile once more.

    On his own he can survive, but with them…with them he learns to live again.

    Summary

    “No,” Jisung cried. “No. Please don’t.” Jisung tried to breathe, tried to gasp for air to continue his begging, but his lungs refused to fill. The terror that grasped Jisung’s body was unlike anything he had ever felt before. These alphas couldn’t take him. They couldn’t. Jisung couldn’t take any more pain, couldn’t live every day in fear.

    “Hey, we won’t hurt you. It’s okay. You can’t stay in here, though. It’s too dangerous.” Jisung could barely hear the alpha over the roaring in his ears. It was over. Jisung’s short bit of freedom was soon to be dashed.

    Jisung runs away from his old pack only to be captured by another. This pack claims to be different, but Jisung isn't so sure...

    Summary

    The maid that brought Hyunjin up would always speak in common-people’s proverbs. The straw that broke the camel’s back, would be apt for Hyunjin’s latest drunken shenanigan. The last hit to reputation that his father could take.

    People talk. Party prince. Royal whore. Disgrace to the bloodline. Hyunjin is all of it and more. In their eyes he’s soiled the Hwang name, made himself good as useless. Someone like that couldn’t stick around. He thought they’d lock him up for some months. Have him guarded around the clock, wait out the rumors fading to nothing, until everyone forgot about him.

    Hyunjin never expected to be married, but he never expected his father to pawn him off as a wartime penance either.

    (OR: A rebellious prince, a closed-off king, the end of a war, and the beginning of a great love.)
