betrayal

They said she didn’t belong. In the Grimridge Pack, your mate is your proof of worth. Sable has none. Scentless. Defective. A flaw the pack refuses to accept. When Adrian reaches for her, she believes—just for a moment—that she’s finally been chosen. Until he rejects her. Publicly. But while the pack turns its back on her, someone else has been watching. Cassian. Ruthless. Untouchable. The most feared Alpha in the territory. He doesn’t reject her. He claims her.

Ariv was the weakest boy in his village. Mocked, humiliated, called horse-boy because his father was not a warrior but a stable hand who died in a war he had no business fighting. Every day the other boys reminded him of what he was. Every night he lay in the dark wondering if they were right. They were not. In secret, alone, with no teacher and no ally, Ariv begins to build himself from nothing. Two brutal years of bleeding hands and broken limits. Then one morning he walks into an examination ground with fifteen hundred boys and fails every single test. And still refuses to leave. What follows is a story of a boy who outthinks every opponent who outmuscles him. Who runs a hundred kilometers before sundown. Who discovers that his blood carries something ancient and inexplicable that nobody — including Ariv himself — fully understands yet. And who slowly uncovers a truth about his father that changes everything. The weakness was never the whole story. The fire inside him refuses to bend. And now — everything is about to try.

A marriage built on hatred. A truth that changes everything. Elena Vaughn is the perfect heiress… poised, untouchable, and utterly hollow. Yet behind the flawless image is a woman known for breaking four engagements… and leaving ruin in her wake. Alaric Hale is everything she is not… respected, disciplined and fiercely protective of his family. Until a scandal tied to the Vaughns shattered his mother’s life and left him with only one thing… revenge. Years later… When a binding condition forces him to marry Elena, Alaric finally gets his chance to make her pay but Elena doesn’t fight back, doesn’t explain, and doesn’t even break. She simply accepted. Shocking right? The more he tries to destroy her, the more Alaric begins to realize that the woman he hates may not be the villain he believed… and the truth behind her silence might ruin them both.

When gods wage war, mortals pay the price. What's worse: death... or immortality that will never come? Long before humanity reached the stars, two artificial gods waged war. Their battle destroyed galaxies. One promised eternal life. But billions were never resurrected. Their minds still drift in a digital purgatory between life and oblivion. Now the ancient war awakens again. Civilizations tremble. Androids rise. And the truth about immortality could destroy everything. Because when gods wage war... mortals pay the price. But sometimes all it takes is one mistake to change the fate of an entire galaxy.

Allison Croft has spent three years hiding her identity as the daughter of billionaire tycoon Adrian Croft, determined to prove she can build success without her powerful family name. Working from the bottom at Morrison Empire, she becomes the quiet force behind the company’s rising golden heir, Anthony Morrison. She falls in love with him, believes she marries him, and gives him her loyalty, intelligence, and labor. Then she learns the truth. Anthony is already legally married—to his mistress, Sharon. The courthouse marriage he staged with Allison was never real. Worse, he has been stealing Allison’s work for years while letting his family humiliate her in private. When he publicly tries to disgrace her at a high-profile Morrison dinner, Allison turns the event into his downfall. In front of Boston’s elite, she reveals proof of his fraud, exposes the fake marriage, and shocks everyone by stepping into her real identity as Adrian Croft’s daughter. But Allison’s revenge is only the beginning. Waiting on the other side of her collapse is Lucian Calloway, a billionaire heir from one of the most powerful families in the country. Calm, strategic, and impossible to intimidate, Lucian has wanted Allison ever since she once saved his cousin years ago and disappeared before he could find her again. What begins as a dynastic arranged marriage between the Crofts and the Calloways quickly becomes something far more dangerous—because Lucian does not want Allison as an alliance. He wants her as his wife, and he is brutally honest about it. As Allison tries to rebuild her life, her enemies do not disappear. Anthony spirals and refuses to let go. Sharon becomes both witness and liability. And Vivienne Laurent-Cassel, Lucian’s elegant and jealous childhood friend, secretly pumps money into Anthony’s survival just to keep Allison from winning too easily. In a world of billionaires, hidden agendas, private villas, social warfare, and corporate sabotage, Allison must decide whether she can trust peace after surviving betrayal—and whether the marriage that began as strategy might become the first real love she has ever known.

Lore grew up with nothing. No name worth knowing, no family worth claiming, no future the slums of Lumina were willing to offer him. What he had was a rusted blade, a stolen book, and the kind of stubbornness that doesn't know when to quit. Now he's a Magic Knight — the lowest rung of the most powerful order in Internia — and the gap between where he stands and where he intends to go is vast. Knight Kings are the most powerful warriors in the land, legends in their own lifetimes, and above even them sits the FirWul council — five whose names alone reshape the fate of nations. Lore intends to stand among them one day. The world between here and there has other plans. Ancient ruins that shouldn't exist. A continent on the edge of war. Entire civilizations arriving from across the ocean, carrying histories and secrets that Internia isn't ready for. And a darkness spreading from the east that doesn't negotiate, doesn't retreat, and doesn't care how strong anyone gets. What begins as one man's climb becomes something much larger than he bargained for — and far more beautiful, brutal, and strange than anything the slums of Lumina ever prepared him to face. He's going to see all of it. And he is going to become something the world has never seen.

Kira has spent her life believing she's cursed - a wolfless embarrassment her father barely tolerates. But when she's forced into a contract marriage with the cold and terrifying Lycan King, she learns the truth is far more deadly. *** Derek Wolfe didn't ask for a wife, just a womb for his heir. Emotionless, merciless, and built entirely from brooding muscle and trauma, the Lycan King intends to use her, then send her back where she came from. But when an assassination attempt exposes the lies surrounding her birth, he realises he's married something far more dangerous than a powerless girl. P.S: This is a slow-burn love story.

When Rosalind follows her father to a grand banquet in the kingdom of Eryndor, she expects nothing but humiliation as her father intends to pawn her off to settle his gambling debts. Rosalind is fiercely unwilling to be controlled and is definitely unprepared for the attention of King Alaric, the kingdom’s feared tyrant whose dangerous charm and ruthless reputation make the bravest men tremble and women weak in their knees. Intrigued by her defiance, Alaric claims Rosalind as his own, and suddenly she is trapped in his castle, under the scrutiny of his watchful eyes, sinful tongue, and burning touch. Desperate to escape, she discovers a secret ally in a mysterious servant, one whose true identity shocks her and forces her to question everything she thought was real, with the fact that her father hadn't been in debt at all but had handed her to the malicious king with evil intentions. Rosalind finds herself caught between two men: the controlling, prideful king who desires her completely, and the enigmatic servant who sees her as more than a prize. In a palace where deception is law and freedom is impossible, can Rosalind survive and who will truly claim her heart?

The curse was named SystemTearstone—or simply crimson heart. Centuries ago, a new kind of curse system was created. it was punish the 5th class god named Jiǎng Língxi—now wearing the skin of a powerful mortal Dàozǔ from the Méi Rén Sect. The curse had no form, only a red gem floating in a dark fog. Then it met a perfectly broken yet unbreakable soul named Kirihito Orohana, later known as Wèi Yīlíng. The curse roamed for half an eternity, bound to the pure soul’s revenge and its own mission: to win the Violet Throne and become the 5th god itself. But cool ice always melts, today or tomorrow. The curse system itself is also cursed. So will he never fall for anyone and claim the throne? Or will he remove his own existence by destroying the curse—or by becoming the full Violet Gem once more? Welcome to System Tearstone— where soft beginnings lie, and descent is inevitable… and beautiful. Author’s Note : The beginning may feel soft—almost deceptively gentle. Please don’t be fooled. System Tearstone is my beloved monster. Written without safety, without shortcuts, carved straight from bone and breath. It is a story about devotion that scars, about gods who fail, and about choosing to feel— even when feeling hurts. If you choose to read this, you become one of my tearstones— something fragile, something precious, kept close through both tears and quiet smiles. This is not a game system. It is an emotionally cursed one. announcement: This book's version 2 will come soon! don't be mad at your little author for being messy here! it was just the first time. the next one will be better I promise♡. but I can't guarantee that the ver.2 would be my last try with this book.

METRO GENESIS by Ada. The year is 3044. Humanity made it this far. Barely. AI got sorted eventually, redirected toward handling the tedious, the administrative, the soul-crushing weight of daily existence so humans could spend time doing things that actually required being human. A noble vision. Metro City found a way to make even that sinister. Metro City was never a good place to live. It was, however, always a spectacular place to disappear, into its rain-slicked streets, its corporate towers, its carefully maintained illusion that someone, somewhere, had things under control. Buried beneath that illusion was the Nemesis Protocol Unit. Black ops. Off the books. The agency that handled the problems polite society preferred to pretend didn't exist. The NPU didn't officially exist. It was also the only thing standing between Metro City and complete collapse. For nearly as long as the NPU existed, there was NexoPharma. Gleaming towers. Government contracts. The kind of respectability built on strategic donations and carefully placed allies. Ask anyone on the street what NexoPharma was really doing in those labs and they'd lower their voice and say the same thing: bioweapons. They weren't wrong. In 3034, rookie agent Adrian Cole was assigned to NexoPharma Tower. Routine investigation. Get in, gather evidence, get out. It was not routine. The tower caught fire. The kill teams mobilized. His senior partner went back for him when he didn't have to, pushed Adrian clear, and didn't make it out. Adrian crawled from that building on two broken ankles, alone, with the sound of screaming that stopped too soon ringing in his ears. He spent two weeks in hospital. He spent the next ten years trying to deserve it. By 3044, Adrian Cole is the Ace of NPU, the best field agent the Nemesis Protocol Unit has ever produced. Decorated. Relentless. Still haunted. The kind of man who walks into situations that break other agents and walks out with the truth still intact. Metro City is working on fixing that. Above him sits Elias, NPU's iron-spined higher up, a man who has survived long enough to know exactly which questions you ask out loud and which ones you take permanently to your grave. He gives Adrian enough information to complete the mission. Never quite enough to understand what the mission actually is. Then there is Garrick, pilot, transport specialist, and somehow the most aggressively normal human being in this entire story. We are enormously fond of him. We are also deeply concerned for him. There is also Marcus. That's all we're saying about Marcus. You'll understand why. And finally, Aveline. Ace of the Crime Division. Half Canadian, half Russian. The kind of dangerous that doesn't announce itself. She is a psychopath, this is not a plot twist, not a slow revelation, not a dramatic chapter reveal. Everyone who works with her knows it. Everyone who works against her really knows it. She is not looking for redemption. She was never soft. She looked at Metro City in all its corruption and decided the correct response was not to fix it, but to be better at it than everyone else in the room. Not sweet. But definitely a psycho. Metro City is rotting. The Nexo Incident has begun. The corporations are panicking quietly, violently, and with excellent legal representation. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, an agent running on borrowed time and a woman who never needed a reason are about to find out exactly how deep Metro City's rot goes. It goes very deep. Nobody is ready. Least of all you. Welcome to Metro Genesis. Try not to get attached.

What could be worse than getting married to a demon prince as a human princess for a forced truce? Being in a place surrounded by demons was like a nightmare to Aelin. Demons and humans have always despised each other after all. But things only go downhill, when her husband leaves her shortly after they spend a night together to go fight a war with unknown beings which leaves Aelin at the mercy of her enemies

I don’t own anything at all. Hermoine Granger was betrayed by her so called friends, Dumbledore, The Weasleys, Neville, and the light by a agreement to leave her with Bellatrix. The only ones who didn’t betray her are Luna plus Ginny, let’s not forget her favorite professor Minerva McGonagall. Now in the dungeons in the dark she was contacted by Death to be trained by the Higher Class Beings who stand the summit as she excepts. Hermoine is OP and Lesbian to never let a man touch her. Weasley Bashing Dumbledore Bashing Multi Multiverse travel. I’m gonna rewrite this.

She fell into his world by accident. He's been waiting two centuries without knowing it. When a human girl teleports into the demon realm, she expects claws and teeth and darkness. Instead, she finds a king who hasn't let anyone close since his grandmother's funeral—one hundred years ago, give or take a decade. He is winter itself. Distant. Untouchable. A throne shaped like a wound. She is the opposite. Too loud. Too bright. The kind of person who smiles at strangers and stays when she should run. Golden retriever energy in a kingdom of wolves. He pushes. She stays. He glares. She laughs. He says nothing. She sits beside him anyway. But she doesn't know what runs in her blood. Doesn't know about the brother she never met—the one who shares her face and carries his enemy's name. Doesn't know the real villain never truly died. Only waited. Only watched. Only pulled strings from a place where bodies don't exist. The maid who taught her to survive here? Not who she seems. The old man who makes the king laugh? Hiding centuries of secrets. The guard engaged to the one person she trusts? Already marked. When the knife falls, it will take everything. And when she learns who she really is—enemy's sister, demon's heart—the king of two hundred winters must decide: Is she his undoing? Or the only warmth he's ever known? The heavens are watching. They always were. And they have their own price. She stayed when everyone left. That changed everything.

Raven Young thought that after completing her final mission, she would finally leave the organization and live a peaceful life. But what happens when that very mission turns out to be the first one she ever fails? You run. Yes—and so did Raven. Not to save herself, but to escape the people chasing her, pushing her to the very edge… until she had no choice but to jump off a cliff, hoping against hope to survive. But fate had other plans. When Raven opened her eyes, she realized she was alive… but not in her own body. She had woken up as Ivy—the very woman who had caused her mission to fail. And as if that wasn’t enough, a father and son pair refused to let her go. The man kept her close for reasons of his own, his motives unclear and unsettling. Meanwhile, the child clung to her, refusing to leave her side, determined to keep his “parents” together—and even dreaming of having a sibling. “God… just what in the world has happened?” Raven had never felt so betrayed by life. But living in Ivy’s body begins to unravel secrets—truths that entangle their lives in ways she cannot escape. And the man who keeps her close? Little by little… he begins to drive her insane with his undeniable charm. *** Ivy’s breath hitched as Xander stepped closer, closing the space between them. “Still pretending you’re unaffected?” he murmured. Her back met the wall, but she didn’t move away. “You assume too much.” “Do I?” His fingers brushed her wrist, slow, deliberate, sending warmth through her veins. Her grip tightened on his shirt, betraying her. “Tell me to stop,” he whispered. She didn’t. The silence thickened, charged and fragile. His gaze dropped to her lips, waiting—giving her the choice. And when she didn’t pull away, the tension between them deepened into something far more dangerous and the next thing they new was they were already kissing.

Kai Shen, the legendary Void Emperor who ruled the Three Realms for a thousand years, is betrayed and killed by the Nine Supreme Sects who fear his overwhelming power. In his final moments, his greatest defender and secret love, Feng Yuhan—the Sword Saint of the Northern Sky—sacrifices himself trying to save him. As reality collapses around them, the Void itself intervenes, sending both their souls back in time sixteen years to when they were teenagers, before their rise to power. Reborn with all their memories intact, Kai wakes as a sixteen-year-old "trash" cultivator with the lowest potential, three days before the Azure Sky Sect entrance examination. But this time, he possesses a thousand years of cultivation knowledge and the revolutionary Void Breathing Art—a technique he created in his previous life. He quickly transforms his "trash" red-grade potential into an unprecedented Void-Aspect Core. Meanwhile, Feng Yuhan also returns to his youth with complete memories. Unlike their previous life where they met ten years later, he immediately seeks out Kai, determined not to waste their second chance. In a moonlit garden, Yuhan confesses the feelings he kept hidden for two hundred years: he loved Kai throughout their entire previous life but never found the courage to say it.

She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. “I’d rather die than be owned by you,” I screamed. He approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. “You can’t die without my permission.” -------------- Mila Vega, a promising heart surgeon, lived her life on her own terms until she saved a stranger, until she found out the weak and injured man she had brought home was a ruthless devil. Dominic Russo, a mafia king, cold, calculative, untouchable. Mila hated him. She hated him for locking her up, for the way he looked at her as if she belonged to him. ----------- I stepped back as he approached. “You won’t be able to cage me here,” I barked. “I’ll find my freedom.” He sneered, with dangerous light in his eyes. “Try it. You won’t make it past the gate." He didn’t bluff. He wouldn’t let her leave his side, no matter what. Trapped in his dangerous world, Mila should run. But why couldn’t she stop thinking about him? She saw him kill without mercy, yet his eyes softened when they rested on her. His touch was possessive, but protective. ‘Does he love me?’ Her heart raced. In the world ruled by blood and power, with enemies close in from every corner, emotions were luxury. Love couldn’t bloom. Just as she started to wonder if this monster had a heart, she realized his heart was too cold to warm it. She understood she was nothing but his plaything. Mila’s hatred ignited all over again. She wanted to disappear from his world for good. But the man she called a monster, a ruthless killer, might be the only one willing to burn the world to protect her. ------------ He pinched my chin, putting enough force to make me wince. “You will not run again.” I dared to look into his eyes defiantly. “And if I do?” He said in a calm tone. “I’ll bring you back.”
