THE HEALING LEAF: Ileana jolted awake, her breath ragged and her heart pounding as if it were trying to escape her chest. Terror gripped her, raw and unyielding, leaving her paralyzed beneath clammy sheets. The memory of drowning surged through her mind—saltwater burning in her lungs,

A sob escaped her lips, sharp and involuntary. Confusion and fear collided inside her, making the world around her seem fragile, ready to shatter at any moment. Was she alive? Was this real? The questions spun in her mind, relentless and unanswerable.

She forced herself to move, stumbling from her bed on trembling legs. The harsh bathroom light revealed a haunted reflection: wide, terrified eyes, a face drained of color, lips quivering as she struggled to steady her breath.

“Wasn’t I just drowning?”

"It's no wonder you are unlovable!" She spat, "Nobody wants you."
Massimo moved faster than lightning, one moment he was standing apart, the next his hand clamped around her jaw. His finger was bruising, forcing her face upward. Rage darkened his features until the blue of his eyes looked almost black.
He crashed his mouth against hers in a punishing kiss. It was devoid of passion, claiming what she refused to give freely. He broke away just enough to growl against her lips.
"Two minutes ago your cunt was dripping for me. You would have let me fuck you senseless right there on the sheets."
His grip tightened, pushing her chin higher until she met his gaze. "So cut the hypocrisy. And God help you if you test my patience one last time."


She was never meant to be his bride.
Eloise Bernardi is a mistake; the inconvenient daughter meant to watch from the sidelines while her beautiful cousin marries into the Caputo empire. But when Massimo Caputo, the ruthless Mafia Don feared across Italy, chooses her instead, her whole world tilts.

Forced into his arms and bound by vows she never wanted, Eloise must navigate a marriage thick with tension, power, and a desire that terrifies her as much as it tempts her. Because Massimo doesn’t just want obedience.

In the hidden, ancient vampire city of Nyxus, where blood purity dictates status, Seraphina "Sera," a dhampir (half-vampire, half-human), lives as an outcast, enduring constant bullying and scorn. The powerful and aloof Pureblood Prince, Lord Kaelen Vorokh, embodies the rigid hierarchy that dismisses her. However, when torment pushes Sera to her limit, her dormant and unique dhampir abilities erupt with shocking force, marking her as someone far more significant than the society presumed.

Her newfound power emerges at a critical time: an ancient, devastating plague resurfaces, targeting only pureblood vampires and proving resistant to their magic, throwing Nyxus into panic and chaos. Ancient texts and forgotten prophecies hint that only a being of mixed blood, wielding abilities like Sera's, can uncover the plague's origin and find the means to stop it.

Thrust into an unwelcome spotlight, Sera must embark on a perilous quest to save the very society that oppressed her. This forces her into an uneasy alliance with Lord Kaelen, who must confront his prejudices as he realizes their survival depends on the dhampir he once overlooked. "Crimson Thorn, Obsidian Throne" will chronicle Sera's journey from bullied victim to a powerful heroine, her dangerous quest to stop the plague, her navigation of treacherous vampire politics, and the slow-burn evolution of her complex relationship with Kaelen amidst ancient secrets and epic stakes.

Evan, a scentless gamma’s son, spent his life tormented by his pack until he scraped together enough cash to escape. Freedom slips away when the ruthless alpha brothers, Zane and Leo, track him down, their golden eyes blazing with a chilling claim: “We found you, mate.” Bound by a primal bond he never wanted, Evan’s drawn into their dangerous world of power, passion, and pack wars. As rival wolves close in and hidden allies emerge, Evan uncovers his own buried strength. Caught between Zane’s fiery dominance, Leo’s cold control, and a softer pull from an unexpected source, can Evan break free—or will he embrace the chaotic love he’s destined for?

She was invisible in her own home. Now she's about to become untouchable.

For fourteen years, Queenie Vale has been a prisoner in her own mansion—a servant to the stepmother who stole her inheritance and the stepsister who delights in her pain. Framed for attempted murder and thrown out with nothing but the clothes on her back, Queenie faces an impossible choice: pay fifty thousand dollars in five days or go to prison for a crime she didn't commit.

Enter Jamal Devereaux—billionaire, enigma, and the most dangerous man she's ever met. His offer seems like salvation: a contract marriage that will give her the power to destroy her enemies and reclaim what's rightfully hers. But Jamal has secrets darker than the night, and his own thirst for vengeance runs deeper than she could ever imagine.

What Queenie doesn't know is that she's not just his contract wife—she's his ultimate revenge. Her father destroyed Jamal's family, and now he intends to start his payback with her.

But when enemies circle like vultures and bullets start flying, the line between hate and love becomes dangerously thin. In a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal is a weapon, Queenie must decide: Is the man who saved her life her greatest ally... or her most lethal enemy?

Some fairy tales are written in blood. This is one of them.

"Scholarship trash belongs in the trash." Zara Cole never forgot those words. She just waited until she had a microphone to say them back.

Sixteen-year-old Zara Cole won a full scholarship to Cresthaven Academy, the most expensive school in the country. On her very first day, the most popular boy in school, Luca Harlow, dumps a tray of food on her in front of everyone and calls her a charity case. The video goes viral. Zara becomes a joke overnight.

But Zara has a secret. She is not just a poor girl chasing a dream. She is the anonymous online tutor known as "GoldPen" who has helped half the school pass their exams, including Luca himself.

When the school announces its biggest prize ever, the Crown Contest, where students compete in academics, arts, and leadership for a life-changing scholarship fund, Zara signs up. So does Luca. The contest forces them to work together. And the closer they get, the harder it is to keep hating each other.

But Luca's family has secrets too. Dark ones. Ones that are connected to why Zara's mother lost everything years ago.

The world is steeped in dark magic, where every individual possesses a fragment of power, but its strength varies greatly. Society's harsh judgment hinges on this magical ranking system, establishing a brutal caste hierarchy that determines one's place, opportunities, and wealth. Our heroine, Daisy, hails from the slums, born to a mother who once survived as a prostitute, each of her children fathered by unknown clients. With their mother now incapacitated by a curable disease and unable to provide for them, the family's desperation mounts. Daisy, the eldest sibling, takes on the perilous role of a pest hunter, earning scant coins by ridding local businesses of rats and pigeons, all while desperately seeking a way to save her family from starvation and disease.

When rumors of a mystical menagerie belonging to the high nobles reach her ears, Daisy resolves to risk everything. She embarks on a treacherous journey to the distant menagerie, stealing rides on carts and foraging for food along the way. Navigating the heavily protected forest that surrounds the menagerie proves challenging, but Daisy cleverly follows the small rats she once hunted, slipping through cracks in the wards that guard the enchanted realm.

Inside, she searches for creatures that might grant her a boon in exchange for her help in escaping their captivity. Yet, she soon becomes prey herself, hunted by fearsome beasts that threaten her very existence. In her moment of desperation, she hears a voice in her mind offering an escape—an opportunity to bond with a powerful creature. As the ground shakes violently and the tree erupts in chaos, she unwittingly frees an enormous dragon, dark red and nearly black, which devours the manticore in an act of vengeance for its long imprisonment.

Amara is an Omega sold at an exclusive auction to Kael, the fearsome and reclusive Alpha. Rumors surround Kael—some say he’s cursed, others claim he’s a beast driven mad by anyone who he can't control.

Purchased to bear his heir, Amara expects to be treated like property. Instead, she finds herself in a crumbling castle, treated with unexpected dignity but forbidden from leaving the grounds.

Kael keeps his distance, cold and aloof, as if her presence is both an irritation and a temptation. Determined to uncover the truth, Amara discovers strange happenings in the castle—ghostly whispers, silent servants and a wing of the estate that Kael strictly forbids her to enter.

The more she investigates, the more she realizes: Kael is hiding a secret that could change everything.

Not even death could keep them apart…

"I, Torey Black, Alpha of the Black Moon reject you."
His rejection hit me instantly.
I couldn't breathe, unable to catch my breath as my chest heaved up and down, my stomach churning, unable to hold myself together as I watched his car speed down the driveway and away from me.

I couldn't even comfort my wolf, she immediately retreated to the back of my mind, prohibiting me from speaking to her.

I felt my lips wobble, my face scrunching up as I attempted to hold myself together but failing miserably.

Weeks had passed since I last saw Torey my heart seeming to break a little bit more as the days went by.

But lately, I found that I was pregnant.

Werewolves pregnancies were much shorter than a human's. With Torey being an Alpha, it cut the time down to four months, whereas a Beta would be five, Third in Command would be six and a regular wolf would be between seven and eight.

As suggested, I headed to bed, my mind full of questions and wonders. Tomorrow was going to be intense, there were a lot of decisions to be made.

*A dark mafia romance about found family, second chances, and discovering that the most dangerous thing isn't the enemies in the shadows—it's learning to let someone see you in the light.

I fought for a decade as a man, earning honors that crowned my family in glory. Returning home, I expected a hero's welcome. Instead, I was a ghost—a secret they feared would destroy them.

To protect their new daughter and stolen privileges, they offered me a poisoned cup. They shattered the hands that held their kingdom safe, thinking they had erased me.

They were wrong.

I awoke on the day of my return, gifted with a second chance. This time, I will not seek their love. I will claim the throne of vengeance that is rightfully mine.

I said no to the wrong man.
One fleeting meeting, one polite rejection—and now he’s everywhere. Watching. Waiting. Whispering my secrets in the dark.
He didn’t just follow me. He invaded every corner of my life: destroyed my relationship, ruined my safety, broke every rule I thought protected me.
Now he’s in my dreams, in my nightmares, in the trembling space between fear and craving.
His gifts are wicked temptations. His threats curl around my throat like a promise.
Each time I resist, his obsession deepens—and the harder I fight, the more I want what I know I shouldn’t.
He says I’ll beg for his touch. That I’ll wear his chains like a second skin.

Her “no” was the sweetest provocation I’ve ever tasted.
I’m used to taking what I want—money, power, loyalty, women. But her? She’s different. Untouchable. Defiant. Mine.
She thinks she can run. She thinks love will save her, or that the world will protect her from a man like me.
Let her try.
I’ll tear her life apart, one thread at a time.
Her boyfriend? Gone.
Her rules? Broken.
Her body? Quivering for me, even when her lips spit defiance.
She can hate me all she wants—so long as she screams my name when I break her open and make her beg.
Because in my world, surrender is the only escape—and her pleasure will be her undoing.
She’ll wear my mark, my chains, my name on her lips.
I warned her:
Velvet chains look soft, but once you’re in them, you never break free.

If you like:

Obsessive, possessive mafia heroes who’ll ruin your world.
Dark, forbidden power play and morally gray everything
Forced proximity, luxury, violence, and erotic tension.

My fiance cheated on me with my sister, to get back at him, I seduced his hot daddy, hoping he will get used to calling me stepmother...


"Stop this madness, Joanne!"
"Madness?" I asked as I chuckled softly, "Madness!" I yelled, my voice rising in pitch as tears welled up in my eyes. "Madness is fcking my sister behind my back! Madness is thinking you have the fcking right to barge into my house and slap me in the face! That's madness!"
Rylan, my ex fiance, took a step closer, "Don't you think you're being pathetic, chasing after my father out of some childish grudge because I didn't return your feelings? Stop being so fucking petty and acting like a child," he spat, his words like daggers to my heart.
A wave of pain washed over me as I bit my lips. "I don't know what you did to convince my father, but I advise you to stop before you make a fool of yourself," he added, his voice dripping with contempt.
I walked closer to Rylan, "Get used to calling me stepmother, you fcking ashole," I spat.
"And you know what?" I held his collar and pulled him closer to me.
"You are not invited to my wedding."

A fallen kingdom and a hidden prince that could lead to the Birth of an Empire. Thus is the Legend of Elric Vellen. Will the sacrifice his father made on the day of his birth be in vain or will he be able to reclaim what was lost. Only time will tell.

This is a story full of magic, dragons, blood, and steel with a bit of mild r18 that is relevant to the story's plot and used to spice up the dry lore and world building arcs.

Our story begins with Elric's birth and the siege of his homeland and follows his escape to an unknown land in his mother's arms. Were he is given into the care of a kind old man an quickly grows into a budding hero.

He was born with nothing. The empire made sure of it.
Kael Dawnveil was nineteen years old when he watched his father hang from the empire's gallows, framed for treason by the very men who feared him. As a Hollow, a man born without the Resonance that determines power and worth in the Empire of Solverath, Kael had no army, no title, no magic. Just a name nobody remembered and a rage he had nowhere to put.
But something woke inside him that day. Something the empire had buried from history because the last time it appeared, it brought a dynasty to its knees.
Now Kael is climbing. Through the gutters, through the academy, through the noble courts that condemned his father. His power grows with every enemy he faces. His mind is sharp, his patience longer than most men's lives. He is becoming exactly what the empire fears most.
The problem is he knows it.
Because the closer Kael gets to the men who destroyed his family, the more he has to become like them to reach them. Every compromise chips something away. Every victory costs someone he loves. And the throne he is fighting toward is starting to look less like justice and more like the same poison poured into a different cup.
He swore he would never become the monster that made him. But monsters rarely see themselves coming.

Ever heard of the word forbidden, a situation were you have to stay in the shadows so you don't catch the wrong eyes.

That is what Sera was or as the elite vampires called her an ABOMINATION.

She was born to be executed.
Instead, she became the Blood King’s greatest weakness.

Sera Blackwood is a half-blood abomination in a vampire kingdom where her kind are slaughtered without mercy. For twelve years, she survives by staying invisible—until a single court ritual exposes her secret to the entire realm.

And binds her to its most dangerous ruler.

King Kael Draeven is cursed, ruthless… and the man who butchered Sera’s entire family. He should kill her on the spot.
Instead, he claims her as his own, sealing a blood bond neither of them can escape.

Now trapped in a court of lies, assassins, and forbidden desire, Sera must survive a king who is both her enemy and her fate. As a deadly prophecy awakens and enemies close in, the power sleeping in her blood begins to rise—power that could save the vampire realm…

Or burn it to the ground.

Because in Nocterra, loving the wrong king is a death sentence.

Hannah, an angel of God, meets Garin, a demon from hell while on an assignment on Earth. They didn't like each other at first but later, they fell in love.

God and The Devil were angry and disapproved of their union and as punishment, stripped them of their power, immortality, and potency and cast them away to the Earth to live as mortals.

Centuries passed but the lovers' bond was so strong that it lived on throughout multiple lifetimes as they both were reincarnated and reunited every generation.

The lovers meet again in the 21st century and their love attempts to be rekindled but the Devil makes a bet with God that whichever of them breaks the cycle of the love chain between their creations would dominate both heaven and hell.

Will either God or Lucifer succeed in breaking the cycle of the lovers' chain OR will their love prove to be too strong?

As Ryker's hands and mouth explored her body, Lina felt herself surrendering to the sensations, her inhibitions melting away. She moaned, her hands gripping his shoulders, her hips instinctively thrusting towards his touch.

"That's it, let go, Lina," Ryker whispered, his breath hot against her skin. "Let me show you the pleasures of submission."

Ryker positioned her on the bed, her wrists gently restrained by the velvet chains, her body exposed and vulnerable. He kissed a path down her body, his tongue tracing circles around her navel, making her squirm with anticipation. His fingers gently parted her folds, his breath hot against her sensitive flesh.

Isabella "Izzy" Cross thought her biggest problem was paying for college.

Then four ruthless mafia heirs showed up at her door, claiming her dead father owed them a blood debt worth two million dollars.
Since she can't pay with money, they'll take her instead.
Dragged into a world of violence and luxury, Izzy becomes the obsession of four deadly men:
Luca, the cold leader who sees her as a challenge;
Marco, the charming one who hides his cruelty behind smiles;
Nico, the quiet killer who watches her every move;
and Dante, the explosive wildcard who might just burn everything down for her.
Each brother offers her protection, passion, and pieces of a truth that could destroy everything she believes about her family.
As bullets fly and secrets surface, Izzy must decide: escape their golden cage or claim her place as queen of their dark empire.

In a world where love is the most dangerous weapon, four men will kill to keep her, and she might just let them.

"You're just a pathetic slave wolf. This bond means nothing!" Beta Marcus sneered as he shattered the fake mate medallion, revealing years of deception in front of the jeering pack.
As a slave wolf born into servitude, Lyra has known nothing but chains and cruelty her entire life. When she discovers what she believed was her mate bond with the pack's Beta was actually an enchanted lie designed to exploit her rare blood for dark rituals, her world crumbles completely.
Cast out to die in the cursed Shadowlands, Lyra is found by the mysterious Phantom Alpha - a legendary figure whispered about in fearful tales. Darius Nightfall is not just any Alpha; he's the exiled heir to the Celestial Court, banished for refusing an arranged marriage and seeking to overthrow corrupt pack hierarchies.
In his hidden sanctuary, Lyra discovers she's not a slave wolf at all, but the last of the StarBlood lineage - descendants of the first werewolves blessed by ancient celestial magic. Her blood doesn't just heal; it can reshape the very foundations of pack power structures.
But when her former captors come hunting for the "escaped slave" and Marcus reveals he's been working with a conspiracy to harvest StarBlood wolves for an ancient ritual, Lyra must choose: hide in safety with the Alpha who sees her true worth, or return to face those who enslaved her - not as their victim, but as their reckoning.
The weak slave they discarded will return as an empress of starlight and shadow.

Maren Voss took the job at Montreaux Capital because her father is dying and the salary was too good to question. She never planned on catching the attention of the CEO. Cael Montreaux noticed Maren the day her application crossed his desk, but only because he put it there. He has been watching her for three years. It started when he discovered she is the daughter of the woman who died alongside his mother in an unsolved murder eighteen years ago. What began as an investigation became surveillance. Surveillance became a fixation. Now that she is inside his building, he has no intention of letting her leave. Cael does not threaten. He provides. He anticipates. He closes every exit so gently she does not realize she is trapped until she cannot imagine leaving. An anonymous benefactor pays her father's crushing medical debt. Her lease gets terminated, and a better apartment appears at half the price. She is promoted to his floor and into his direct line of sight. Every kindness is a cage. Every gift is a lock. But Maren is sharp. She notices the small impossibilities and starts keeping notes. As she pulls at a thread that leads to a dangerous criminal conspiracy, she must answer a terrifying question. Is Cael her captor or her ally?

I brought my lips closer to her lips. Kissing her wet lips intimately. Then gently crush it while pressing the bottom of the chin so that the lips can open wide. I immediately put my tongue into her mouth and began to touch the neatly lined teeth with my tongue, also sucking her tongue slowly. Letting my saliva remain in her mouth. Freshia started to squirm in her sleep because of my hot kiss and her foot accidentally pressed against the southern part of my body, causing it to stiffen. Damn, I thought.

"If it's like this, you have to take responsibility, my darling," I said softly right in her ear. Making her body move slowly again.


In this nation, uttering the name Eros Robinson sends a chill down many a spine. A billionaire by day and the underworld's king by night. Beneath the veneer of a refined gentleman, Eros harbors a deeply paranoid nature, his love a suffocating cage. Eros has meticulously orchestrated Freshia's employment and residence, even going so far as to install surveillance in her home. He sneaks into her room to embrace and caress her after she falls asleep. Initially, Eros attempts to capture Freshia's heart with tenderness, but his possessiveness quickly overpowers him. When he saw other men appearing around Freshia, he leaped to the final, drastic step of his plan: to confine her by his side forever.

Faced with Eros's overwhelming control, what will Freshia's next move be? Will she succumb to Eros's twisted love, or will the presence of another offer her a glimpse of hope?

Selene Varyn disguises herself as a man to enter Howlspire Academy—an elite training ground for future Alphas. Fierce, smart, and stubborn to the bone, she refuses to be the kind of Luna society demands. She wants power. She wants the throne. And she will bleed for it if she must.

Then she meets Kai Draven.

Cold. Deadly. Six-foot-four of pure Alpha arrogance.
He’s the academy’s golden heir—ruthless to rivals, loyal to a fault, and annoyingly drawn to the mysterious new “male” student who keeps defying him.

Their rivalry is sharp enough to cut… until the day her secret is exposed.

A girl.
A royal Moon Wolf.
His fated mate.

Kai betrays her when she needs him most—and loses her.

But when Selene’s true power awakens and enemies rise from every shadow, Kai realises one truth too late:

He may be the strongest Alpha of his generation—
but she was born to be queen.
And he will fight the world to win her back.

She entered his court as a servant of shadow. He will rule it on a throne of blood and scale.
For years, the Vampire Lord Kaelen’s cold reign has been absolute. For Elara, a hidden dragon shifter living as a lowly maid, it is a reign that must end in ash. Her vengeance for her slaughtered clan is a fire she has carefully banked, waiting for the moment to reduce his world to cinders. That moment comes on the night of the Blood Moon Masquerade, where a single, searing encounter with a masked stranger offers the perfect path to revenge.
It was only meant to be a weapon. A way to get closer to her enemy.
But one night of forbidden passion unravels everything.
Now, Elara carries an impossible secret—a child that is both fire and blood, a living symbol of the war between their kinds. Her destiny is no longer just vengeance, but survival. When her dragon nature can no longer be concealed, Kaelen discovers the truth: the woman he cannot forget is the same one he has never truly seen, and she holds the key to his destruction… or his legacy.
A night of passion. A lifetime of consequences. A war of bloodlines.
As ancient enemies close in and the truth of the past ignites a new war, Elara and Kaelen must choose: will they cling to the hatred that defined them, or seize a throne built from the one thing that can save or damn them both—their forbidden love?

At a lavish party, my uncle forced me to entertain a disgusting, powerful man.
"He has STDs," they whispered, "she's worse than a prostitute."
But I wasn't their puppet. With one sentence, I turned the tables and secured a $50 million deal. Just as I thought I'd won, he cornered me, his eyes filled with rage.
"You'll pay for this, whore!" he snarled.
As his bodyguards dragged me away, a chilling voice cut through the air. "Let her go."
It was Verio Soren, the most feared Mafia Don in New York. He pulled me into his arms, his scent of cedar and danger surrounding me. "She's with me now."

I felt a claw growing from its finger
My eyes widened a little

I saw a face coming out of the mirror

His claw finds its way to my neck as we both screamed together

I jumped up from my bed, breathing heavily
It was a dream

He stirs the first flicker of desire she’s felt in centuries.

I have signed to be his loyal slave and he my master. I have signed away freedom. What have I done? I have taken off my clothes as he's asked. Am shaking, naked in front of him.
"Lay on the table." He orders. I obey. I don't argue. I can't argue.
"Spread your legs open." His voice, a caress, yet firm. I shakily obey. My legs timidly spread before him. The cold air drifts to me.
"Now, Andria, touch yourself. Touch yourself until you moan."
I look at him shocked. I have never done that before...
"Do you want to rescind on your decision?" He asks, darkly...
I swallow. I don't want to. My body tenses, but I ease it. I shut my eyes. Allow his voice carry me, as one finger tentatively slides into my dark underwear.
Slow. Shaky. I apply soft strokes...circles. I touch my folds. I let out a moan..

Riley
New name, new look, new life. I've been careful to keep my past at bay. The last thing I needed was the stranger with those calm discerning eyes to cross my path. I must avoid him at all costs, even if he haunts my dreams and sends waves of heat across my skin. My focus is survival, not lust. Not even if he ignited a longing I'd never thought possible.

Draven
A mission. Find the missing girls and bring the perpetrator to justice. The retributive kind. I've grown used to the shadows but I am drawn to her light. Moth to a flame, the only way to quell my curiosity is to satiate it. But not too much. Not completely.

TEASER:
You want me, don’t you?” A simple question that warranted a simple answer.
“Should I have had you checked for a head injury?” he scoffed, a swift blow that knocked the wind out of my lungs and I realised I had been holding my breath. My lips parted, and my chest heaved, working overtime to replenish my body’s oxygen from those few moments of starvation.
Steeling my spine, I stepped forward, invading his space, oblivious to the eyes that were thrown our way. Or was I imagining that? Draven didn’t budge, a perfectly shaped brow elevated as he considered my movement with little interest. There wasn’t a single flicker of emotion to cross his features, not even that Godforsaken misleading smile made an appearance.
“Then you’ve no reason to threaten any man I may find interesting.” I breathed the words slowly, erotically.

(The McKay Brothers - Book 2)
With Peter Ramsey gone and Marcus focused on healing and touring Europe with Anna, Damian McKay steps fully into leadership at McKay Enterprises. He’s always been the strategist. The controlled one. The calm storm. But leading an empire means enemies rise. And the one person who refuses to be managed, protected, or sidelined?
Courtney.
She’s not the quiet supportive girlfriend. She’s fire. And she has ambitions of her own.

Everyone says love is the strongest feeling in the world. That you can do anything for the ones you love.

I don't agree with them.

There is no emotion stronger than betrayal. It is a powerful weapon that can make you do anything, be anything.

Especially when that betrayal comes from the people you put above everything else.

A horde of 100,000 mutated beasts besieged the city, and a ten-meter-tall abyssal wolf pressed its claws against my throat.
My enemy, riding on the wolf's back, laughed maniacally, threw down the chains, and ordered me to kneel and surrender immediately.
The fortress garrison closed their eyes in despair. But looking at that gaping maw so close to my face, I let out a long sigh of relief, even laughing aloud.
"What are you laughing at, facing certain death?!" she shrieked.
"I'm laughing at your pathetic stupidity." I gently crushed a poison capsule in my sleeve. "You really think I threw down all my weapons and walked out of the city gates to face this 100,000-strong army to surrender?"
"That's because if the distance exceeds three meters, my genetic virus can't be precisely injected into this beast's lungs."

"This is forbidden," Grayson says softly, stepping back. "You're a princess and I'm a knight," he continues, voice strained with a hint of regret.

"Before that...you were once my best friend and first love," I whisper, stepping closer. I reached out gently, my hands trembling as I lift his face to meet my gaze.

"It's all in the past," His jaw tightens, eyes shutting briefly, then slowly opening to reveal a flicker of pain buried beneath his composure.

"Is it?" I press softly, leaning in closer.

He says nothing for a long moment, then releases a deep shaky breath. "You're one person I desire the most, yet it's forbidden." He admits.

I stroke his jawline softly, my thumbs softly brushing his cheeks. "I still don't care. I want you regardless of what anyone says."
