tragedy

Kael Revenhart thought he buried the past the day they buried her—Amara Lys, the woman who lit his world before it all turned to ash. Five years later, he’s found peace. A new life. A new love. Until the impossible happens: Amara comes back. Alive. Scarred. Changed. And everything Kael built begins to crack. Now trapped between the woman who saved him… and the woman he once vowed to die for, Kael must confront the truth: You can survive grief. But love? Real love… leaves echoes. As Kael, Rin, Amara—and Amara’s sister Nova—are drawn into the weight of old pain and unspoken truths, one thing becomes clear: Not everyone stays dead. Not all scars stay hidden. And not every love can be kept.

“You must bear a child, Celia. what good is a woman who isn’t a mother? What good is an empty womb?” “Especially when it’s a foreign womb, like yours…” It’s not an easy life when you’re watched month after month, when all the blame is placed at your feet for your young husband having no heir. Celia Devon Tralhamir, Crown Princess of Havietten, waits every month with hope mingled with fear. A child will secure her future. But it will also bind her for life to a husband she neither loves or respects, who refuses to see her abilities. Is that what she wants? Is she content to prioritise security over happiness, and be a wordless decorative vessel all her life? Or is she brave enough to try to forge her own path and seize fulfilment on her own terms? Even in a society that cannot recognise individual brilliance in a mere woman. A sequel to the WEBNOVEL book “Earning the Love of a Princess”, this novel follows another woman born into the Royal House of Devon, trying to fight the confines that threaten to stifle her happiness.

Before the Great Shift—a cataclysm that marked the twilight of prehistoric life—human civilization thrived beside beasts of ancient might. But these were no primitive humans. No, they bore the cunning of every age, forging weapons not only of stone and bronze but of steel kissed by fire and will. Among them was Sonia Brakor, a fierce spirit shackled by tradition. Though her heart longed to roam the wilds, to track and haunt the monstrous titans of old, the customs of womanhood chained her dreams. Everything changed with the rise of Crimson Fall—a disaster born from the fury of a volcanic god. Fire and ash rained from the skies, petrifying humankind in cold stone, while a vile plague crawled through the land, twisting ancient beasts into mutated horrors beyond comprehension. Encased in stone, Sonia slumbered through a century. And yet, when her eyes finally opened, only ten years had weathered her body. Her mind, however, was not spared—half her memories lost, scattered into the abyss of time. Now, in a world utterly transformed, Sonia Brakor must rise. She must face monstrous creatures that were once majestic, navigate ruins haunted by echoes of a forgotten age, and battle the very wrath of gods. With courage smoldering in her chest and shadows clouding her mind, she marches forward—determined to end the Crimson Fall and rekindle the flame of humanity. But this journey will not be easy. For how does one reclaim the world… when they can barely remember their place in it? Extra tags: #gore #action #fantasy #tribal #sex

Charismatic, powerful and trapped by the weight of his lineage, he wasn't just looking for a bride - he needed a queen. The real question is: how far would you go to get what you want?

With the blade, what can you cut, the Flesh or the Soul? With your eyes, what can you see? With you ears, what can you hear? Doom or Redemption? Can you walk whilst crippled? Can you speak though dumb? What is life? Is it something you can simply understand? It's spiritual essence? Speak not, if you say yes. For it is beyond understanding. For you to win, you must let go and live as if you never existed.

Ayden wakes up in a cold, dark dungeon—surrounded by snarling monsters, pools of blood, and strangers whose faces he doesn’t recognize. A strange voice echoes inside his head, whispering rules he doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know why he’s here, or how he got trapped in this nightmare. All he knows is one thing: he has to survive.

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] "Then let's dissolve our mate bond and reject each other! That way, you can make Claire your official Luna!" Addison's chest rose and fell violently, her breaths ragged with fury. "Who said you could leave? You are MINE!" Zion turned feral and took Addison back to their chambers and ravaged her for three days and three nights... "I'll make sure you're tied to this bed, and your legs are so weak you won’t even be able to stand," Zion snarled, pinning her down. His dark eyes flickered with gold, a clear sign that his wolf was watching her from just beneath the surface. ... Because they never truly tried to understand each other, their relationship was filled with misunderstandings. Zion, blinded by his petty pride and desire for revenge, refused to defend himself. He wanted Addison to pay for what he believed she owed him, but that very resentment became his own downfall. Addison, on the other hand, couldn’t wait forever for him to let go of his hatred and pain. She was ready to walk away. But when she finally disappeared from his world, Zion lost his mind. He turned his own pack upside down in a desperate bid to avenge the abuse and torture she had suffered. Yet it was too late—she was gone. And worst of all, he never had the chance to tell her the truth: the pup in the other woman's belly wasn’t his. He couldn’t openly reveal it either, because that woman held a special status they couldn’t afford to offend. Zion had sent Addison away to protect her from being killed, but his pride had cost him everything. Hurting her became his greatest regret—one that overshadowed even the death of his father, the former Alpha. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Their paths crossed once again. And then, Zion saw her. No, them. Addison had a son. No—she had sons. There was another one. Regret clawed at him. He had once taunted her, wanting to break her, but now all he wanted was to make amends—to reclaim the family he had lost. But how? The gap between them was wider than ever. She wasn’t someone he could simply walk up to anymore. Would he ever get the chance to fix what he had broken? Or would Addison choose the mate her father, the Alpha King, had picked for her? After all, she wasn’t just anyone—she was the Alpha King’s only daughter, destined to be the first female Alpha King in history.

In the heart of a fog-drenched city lies a forgotten theatre… one that never raised its Whencurtain again. When Caleb is summoned to direct a mysterious final play, he realizes the script is not written in ink—but in blood, madness, and memory. Puppets that breathe. Screams sewn into the velvet walls. And a director’s chair that feeds on fate. Is this a story of horror? Or has the city itself become a stage for a play that was never meant to be written?

Tonight feels like every other until the man in the gold tie steps out of the blur. Smooth suit, practiced grin and a black card with the name Stairways to Heaven, a name that makes Lyra freeze, if only for a breath. He offers a job, high-paying and one-night-only. She doesn’t bite. But she doesn’t throw the card away either. As the lights strobe and bodies roar below, Lyra moves like she’s wired to the beat. But that card’s weight sits heavy in her boot.

“You have been chosen!” Those four words changed my whole world. No, the entire world. With those words, I felt a pain I never felt before blacking out.

Arnold Schwarzenegger I thought you said you would be back? lol

She's gonna kill the instructor, Alpha," Talon had said. "Or herself. Or both. There's no telling with that one. The sex ed teacher made her do diagrams today." Apparently, the instructor was relentless. No subtlety. No metaphors. No poetic euphemisms. Nope. Just hard, anatomical facts and brutally graphic expectations. And Luna? Poor, brave, deeply mortified Luna? She was dying. Every. Single. Day. Kyllian smirked as he stepped into his quarters. Her scent hit him instantly. He heard a thud upstairs. He climbed the stairs quietly, not wanting to startle her mid-breakdown. At the top, he paused, listening. "…and then she said, if you do not properly stimulate the upper hood of the clitoris—WHAT EVEN IS A CLITORIS HOOD?! Is it a hat? Why does it need a hat?!" Kyllian barely contained his laughter, biting his knuckles as Talon's voice drifted back. "Technically, it's a fold of skin. Like a protective flap." "Oh my GODS, Talon, get out before I break something over your head." There was a loud thwap. Possibly a throw pillow. Kyllian finally entered the room, casual as ever. "Sounds like your education is going well." Luna turned, her eyes wide with righteous fury and embarrassment. "I'm scarred, Kyllian," she hissed. "Mentally. Emotionally. Spiritually." He raised a brow. "That bad, huh?" "She made me draw a penis yesterday." Talon snorted behind her. "It was terrible. Looked like a deformed eggplant." Luna hurled a throw pillow at him. "GET OUT!" Talon darted from the room with a cackle. "So," Kyllian said, lounging back in one of the plush velvet armchairs in the sitting room "What did you learn today that has your knickers in a twist?" Luna, standing in the middle of the room with her arms crossed and a deeply offended look on her face, sighed dramatically. "I learned how to perform oral sex." Kyllian blinked. "I… I beg your pardon?" She tilted her head, sarcasm oozing from every word. "Oral sex, Kyllian. With detail. And a diagram. And a banana." "A banana?" "A banana!" she repeated, throwing her hands in the air. "Like, is that standard procedure?" Kyllian grinned, his amusement growing. "Come on, tell me how she explained it." His tone had shifted less teasing now and more intrigued, though he still wore that maddening smirk. He shifted forward in his seat, elbows resting on his knees. Luna narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously. "Why? So you can laugh at me?" "Absolutely," he said with zero shame. "But mostly because I want to see this banana demonstration for myself." With a dramatic groan, she snatched the nearest banana from the fruit bowl on the coffee table. The irony that it had been sitting right there, mocking her with its yellow smugness, was not lost on her. She held it up with two fingers. "Okay, so first, she said this is the penis…" Kyllian held up a finger. "Wait. Did she call it that?" ***** Luna is the Princess of the werewolf kingdom, trained to be ruthless and strong.
