Summary
People of the 28th century colonised new planetary systems, leaving the Earth to animals, but before the exodus began something wrong happened. Women lost all their rights, most probably because of the religious reasons. Now no religions exist, but the order they helped to build remained. The inhabited planets make the interplanetary organisation called The Federation, save for only one peripheral globe, where the small egalitarian group of people took refuge. Only on Argossyne, women can live independent lives and shape the planet’s civilization together with their companions. The Argossyne is rich neither in fertile soils nor mineral resources, so it was left in peace by the men-ruled Federation, if not counting the slavers kidnapping young women to sell them to the wealthy Federation citizens.
One day the paths of two people cross. He is the Universe’s famous scientist from Galdanede and she - the newly captured Argossynian girl, the younger sister of one of their leaders.It's an alternative reality to the universe described in The XY Zone Evil Empire, but you don't need to read it to know what's going on here.

Summary
He was so large, more so than before he left for Russia, all the great big lines of his body sharp and puffy. He was intense as a statue underneath a black long-sleeved button up and dark, washed-out jeans. He is so tall she is forced to look up to maintain his line of sight.
Where have you been? When did you get back? And why are you here?
Something unwavering around the edges of his gaze melts away when she looks up at him from under dew-lashes. Crumbled resolve. She was scared.
“Hey, kid.” Like a bullet, baritone and warm and shot straight through her chest, an echo of it, country-accent, then his head tilts. “I know it’s been’a while.”
--
Or, when sixteen year old Bela's father eats his gun, the only person in the world keeping her from entering New York City's foster care system is her father's once-best friend, Lieutenant Dylan Parker: a honorably retired Marine with a lonely ranch in the heart of the Montana mountains, a mysterious but seemingly trustworthy Alpha there to collect her in her time of need.

Summary
“Don’t fight this, Sophie. I know you feel this…this thing between us. I’m not crazy. You want this.”
I put my hands on his shoulders, apply just the lightest of pressure. “Please, Noah. I can’t do this with you,” I whisper, like if I’m soft enough he might change his mind, be soft with me after all.
If he hadn’t done what he did, if this was just him taking me home after the bar, I know I would’ve let him. But that’s not what’s happening. He ripped me open and now he’s going to keep taking and taking until I have nothing left.
Noah presses soft kisses to each of my cheeks. “It’s okay, Sophie. I’m going to make it better.”
I shake my head, push again. I’m breathing hard, barely able to catch my breath. “Noah–
“Hands at your sides.” His tone has darkened. This is an order.
I swallow hard. If there’s even a bit of good under there… “Noah. If you do this, it’s going to be–”
“Hands,” he growls, his hand slipping out from between my legs until it's collared around my throat. “At your sides. Now.” He doesn’t raise his voice. He doesn’t have to. His words are laced with the threat.
I pull my hands away from his shoulders and place them shaking at my sides.

Summary
Ashwick belongs to one man. Every coin bears his crest, every door opens—or locks—at his command.
Elias Vale is no hero. Obsession clothed in discipline, cruelty honed into control—he is his own storm, his own ruin. He preserves what he covets, and breaks what he loves.
Reyna Calder entered his House as a maid. She expected labor. Instead she found herself stripped of certainty, punished in pearls, and gaslit until she doubted her own mind. His rules shape her days. His hand rules her body. His voice follows her even in dreams.
Inspired by the atmosphere of DeathsDoll and SpiralIntoTheKnown—but Under His Hand is its own book, its own world, and its own monster.
This is not love. This is possession.
And once Elias Vale claims you, he never lets go.Bookmarked by Amy104
