Fifty-four years later, the two stand in front of each other, feeling mixed emotions.

  We were supposed to protect the world from monsters, not become them. 
   
   
   
  All I've ever wanted was to protect the people I love. That's why I joined the military's Elite Specimen Containment Unit. When I learned they were experimenting on sentient monsters, however, everything changed. 
   
   
   
  Now, I have a new mission: protect a scaly winged monster named Bud and escort him to somewhere he'll be safe from my superiors. 
   
   
   
  Yet, Bud's so sweet and perfect, I can't help but fall for him, even though I know it's too dangerous for us to be together. It'll be safer for us to go our separate ways, especially when we're being hunted. 
   
   
   
  But I've only got so much willpower . . .  
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Driz aspires to be a great mage but he's done poorly the last few years of his schooling and cannot enter the mage university. Instead he seeks a mentor in the remnants of the once-great magical race of Melcovia, now mostly driven into hiding by the brutal government of dictator Congerson.
  Cory has hidden out in a remote estate in the foothills of the great mountains and sorely misses contact with others of his kind. When he hears a telepathic call from a youth seeking a mentor and master, it seems a dream come true. But will the young man find him? Can he buckle down enough to learn the discipline and control he needs? And can he ever become the true partner and soul-mate Cory has never found? 
  When Congerson's minions and a rogue mage strike the last empowered folk in Melcovia, Driz's family is in dire peril. He must choose between staying to work with Cory or breaking his indenture to try to save his mother and siblings. Which will it be?

  My First Communal Shower

  When I walked into the newly reconstructed gym, I expected an hour of straightforward exercise—a quick workout to make up for a lazy session earlier that week. The shiny equipment gleamed under the bright lights, promising efficiency. I stuck to what I knew: bicep curls and tricep dips, not venturing into the rest of the mysterious, state-of-the-art machines right away. 
  But when it was time to shower, it was a completely different story. I tried the individual shower but the water was freezing cold, I was about to leave stinky as I noticed the big communal shower where men didn't seem to rush. I was nervous at first, but after what I experienced there... I don't think I'll ever use the shower cabin ever again.

  Despite the angry scars she carries from her childhood training, Zoe Lorel has reached a good place in her life. She has her dream job as an elite operative in an international spy agency and found her true love. Her world is mostly perfect—until she is sent to abduct a nine-year-old girl. The girl is the only one who knows the riddle that holds the code to unleash the most lethal weapon on earth—the first ever "invisibility" nanoweapon, a cloaking spider bot. 
   
   
   
  Zoe's agency is not the only one after the child. China developed the cloaking bot and will stop at nothing to keep its code secret. While China rapidly hones in on Zoe, her threats grow. Enemies in Austria and Bulgaria reveal the invisibility weapon's existence to underground arms dealers—now every government and terrorist organization in the world want the nanobot. 
   
   
   
  From Malta to the Italian Alps to England, Zoe races to save not only the child she has grown to care about, but also herself. Her drug addiction is threatening her engagement to the one person who brings her happiness, yet she needs the agency prescribed pills. They transform her into the icy killer she must be to survive. Can she still be ruthless without the chemicals that suppress her emotions?
