Battle Hearts This Military x Doctor AU was inspired by one of my wonderful readers, Lezza. 💛 I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I loved creating it. Joong and Dunk have been married for years-a quiet, steady kind of love built on routines, inside jokes, late-night dinners, and knowing each other better than anyone else. Their marriage isn't perfect. It's real. Joong serves in the military. Dunk is a doctor. Both have dedicated their lives to helping others, but their jobs come with sacrifices neither of them can control. When Joong receives orders for a high-risk deployment, their world changes overnight. Six months. No communication. No promises except the hope of coming home. As distance grows and uncertainty settles in, both men are forced to face fears they've spent years avoiding. Because sometimes the hardest battles aren't fought on the front lines. Sometimes they're fought in silence. In waiting. In loving someone when every day comes with the possibility of loss. Battle Hearts is a story about love, sacrifice, resilience, and the people who keep choosing each other even when life makes it difficult. Not because love is perfect. But because some people are worth fighting for.

In the underworld, bloodline matters more than love-and power is everything The Archen and Natachai families rule the mafia world from the shadows, their names enough to make even the strongest packs bow. Bound by decades of alliance, their bond is built on loyalty, violence, and silence. There is no space for weakness. Especially not for omegas Dunk Natachai is born into a family that never wanted him. An omega in a lineage that worships alphas, he grows up learning that fragility is a sin and obedience is survival. Hated by his father and tolerated only because of his powerful alpha brother, Dunk lives quietly, carrying a love he was never meant to feel-for Joong Archen Joong was once distant but human. Then he was sent away Seven years of brutal mafia training turns him into something colder, sharper, and untouchable. When he returns, the boy Dunk loved is gone-replaced by an alpha whose presence carries danger in his pheromones and indifference in his eyes Dunk's love is one-sided, unspoken, and slowly destroying him Joong's silence is not cruelty-it is control In a world where omegas are treated as possessions and love is seen as weakness, emotions become weapons, and scent becomes betrayal. As power games tighten and blood is demanded in exchange for loyalty, both must face a truth the underworld refuses to accept: Sometimes the most dangerous rebellion is choosing to love. This is a mafia omegaverse novel about power, neglect, silent devotion, and the cost of burying the heart for survival #joongdunk #omegaverse #mpreg
