Patrick (X) MY DEVIL AGAIN
I came here to disappear. Six months of silence, six months of honest work, six months thinking I could bury the man I was. This island was supposed to be my salvation. But last night, a voice from the past cut through the fog like a knife. 'Patrick Kain? I know who you are.' Now the weight of that name is back on my shoulders. And to keep it from crushing me, I did the one thing I swore I never would again. The sea took the proof, but not the guilt. I thought I could outrun him. But he’s not gone. He’s me.The crate was heavier than usual, salt-crusted and slick in the drizzle. I shouldered it like all the others, muscles burning, boots splashing through puddles on the wet deck. Five months clean. Five months of silence. Then I heard it—my name, whispered like a curse.
'Patrick Kain?'
I froze. Didn’t turn. Couldn’t.
'I saw you in Baltimore,' the voice said. 'Back when things went bad at the docks. You don’t remember me, but I remember you. The way you looked after... well, after the body dropped.'
My breath caught. My hands trembled. Not now. Not after everything.
He stepped closer. 'We should talk. Off the clock. Over a drink.'
A drink. A conversation. Then a call. Then men with badges. Or worse—men with knives.
I turned slowly, forcing a smile. 'You’re mistaken. Name’s James Vale.'
He laughed, low and knowing. 'Sure. Sure I am.'
That night, I waited until the ship rocked under empty skies. He never saw the wrench coming.

WEDNESDAY (BOOK TWO)
I remember dying in that lab—Morticia’s shadow the last thing I saw. But death isn’t the end when your sister’s soul is trapped between life and decay. Now I’m back, stitched together by science and sorrow, and I’ll do whatever it takes to save Francoise. Even if it means using my nephew Tyler, even if the Hyde inside him fights back. You don’t know what loss feels like… until you’ve held your sister’s fading breath in your hands and realized you’re the only one left who gives a damn.
Magician & Thief
I never meant to team up with a criminal. But when the High Arcanum branded me a traitor for digging too deep into forbidden magic, the only person who didn’t try to kill me on sight was Kael Virex—the most wanted thief in the Dominion. Now we’re running through the underbelly of Atheron, hunted by spellblades and bounty hunters alike. The truth we’re chasing could unravel the empire’s lies… or get us both erased from history.
What If?
The smell of burnt yam and blood hangs thick in the humid Lagos air. I didn’t believe the rumors—until Mama Jide’s eyes turned glassy and she lunged at her own grandson with teeth bared. Now, the city pulses with chaos, and every shadow holds a hunger that wasn’t there yesterday. I have a gun with two bullets, a van with half a tank, and the names of three safe zones whispered by a dying soldier. But trust is as rare as clean water now. Who do I save? Who do I become?
