betrayal

After almost a year of torment in the hands of her husband, Seraphine Halveth found a breakthrough; her husband's death. Now that she is finally free from his binds, Seraphine plans revenge for everyone of those who betrayed her. Lucien Blackthorne was a man whispered about in fear and awe; ruthless, unyielding, and everything Seraphine should have avoided. Yet fate, cruel and relentless, had other designs. When Lucien uncovered her meticulously woven plan of revenge, he did not threaten to unravel it. Instead, he offered his shadowed aid. Two torches of vengeance met, and from their collision erupted a fire neither had intended. It was not love, but a hunger for possession—dark, consuming, and perilous. As Seraphine’s path of retribution wound ever tighter, a question gnawed at her heart: could she abandon vengeance, even for love, when her soul had been forged in blood and betrayal? If vengeance was the only thing keeping her alive, what remains when it is complete?

Why is moving forward the hardest thing in our lives? Like you want to forget but it keeps coming back to your mind at unexpected times and places even decades passed. Sometimes it wasn't the person whom we were holding but the words we had said and the emotions we had felt. Friendship? One word, ten letters, but true friends are rare to find. Andria Jay was once an independent woman, content with her school and daily routines—until she discovered RPWs that gave her experiences she never imagined. Her routine began to change, new emotions began to surface, new bonds began to develop and self-discovery started in ways she never expected. Just as she was getting lost in her memories, she met Jayden—a man who turned her world upside down, who later on became her home. As their bond deepened, will Andria be able to resist her own feelings to preserve their friendship… or will she risk losing him to reclaim her independence? Can she truly outrun the echoes of her past--or will history repeats itself?

WARNING MATURE CONTENT} RATED 18+ Elara Kane sold her freedom for $50 million. Lucien Volkov — billionaire CEO by day, merciless mafia king by night — needed a wife to secure his empire and silence his rivals. No love. No emotions. Just a signed contract: one year, public perfection, and her body on demand whenever he wanted it. “Sex is a transaction,” he told her coldly on their wedding night. “You’re a tool. Nothing more.” She hated him with every fiber of her being. He felt nothing but cold control. But one defiant glare, one accidental softness, one moment she fought back… and the ice began to crack. What started as duty slowly became addiction. What started as hate slowly became forever. Now the most dangerous man alive will burn his own rules — and the world — to keep the wife he was never supposed to love.

Power always comes with a price. Behind wealth, status, and perfect smiles lie secrets no one dares to expose. She thought she was stepping into a world of luxury and protection. Instead, she found herself trapped between desire, control, and sins that could destroy everything. In this game of power and obsession, love is never innocent.

In Aurelis, divinity is not a birthright—it is a brutal craft carved into bone and blood. At the summit of this vertical spiral city, the Thirteen Stigmata Families harvest power under an eternal sun. At its roots, in the suffocating abyss of the "Cinder Favelas," the forgotten rot amidst the dust of fallen gods. Kaelen was born to be the pride of the First Family, until his birth triggered the Eclipse Anomaly. To prevent his dark omen from tainting the clouds, the Elders branded him a curse. They systematically stripped the glowing "Sun-Core" from his spine, gouged out his eyes, and discarded his broken frame into the trash chutes of the Ninth Tier. Sixteen years later, a forbidden blood sacrifice shatters the seal. Kaelen rises from the corpse piles of the abyss. His right eye no longer burns with gold; it is replaced by a Pitch-Black Eclipse capable of devouring the very Stigmata that once defined him. "You stole my light. Now, I shall grant you the Night." This is a climb through nine layers of hell. Kaelen will hunt them one by one, reclaiming his thirteen stolen cores from the thrones above. He seeks no redemption. He craves no throne. He only wants to watch the Golden City crumble as the sun finally goes dark.

"New rule," he growls, rubbing the tip of his cock against my pussy. "From now on, you call me Daddy no matter what. You understand me?" I nod as much as his grip around my neck will allow, my pulse hammering against his palm. "Yes, Daddy." I obey. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Valentino, Raffaele, and Angelo, are the princes of Le Vipere Nere—the most feared Mafia family in Italy. I was just a stripper when Valentino first laid eyes on me. To him, I was supposed to be a fleeting distraction meant for nothing more than a night of passion and sin. But we became so much more. At first I was tangled only in his sheets until his brothers wanted a taste of me. Once they decided I was theirs, there was no escaping. Now I’m trapped between three Mafia heirs who don’t know how to share. They claim me. Worship me. And fuck me until I forget my own name. They make me crave the pain as much as the pleasure. They make me theirs—body, mind, and soul. But the truth is I’m living a lie, and when they discover my secret, this game of lust and obsession might end in blood. Welcome to a story of sin, power, and forbidden desire—where love and hate are separated by nothing more than a single heartbeat.

But even in a world that rejected her, one person never did her best friend, the future Alpha, the boy who promised to stand by her side no matter what. He was her hope. Her safe place. Her forever. Until the night everything changed. The night the moon finally blessed her. The night she found her mate. It was him. But before she could even hold onto that happiness....... “I, Ethan Vale, reject you as my mate.” In front of the entire pack, he shattered her. Choosing another. Replacing her.

"It seems your other mates caught your scent and are here for you," Edris said quietly as he slipped into his pants, his voice calm but his eyes unreadable. Suddenly shy, I pushed myself upright and moved to stand, instinctively trying to give him space, trying to create distance before questions could form. I had barely taken a step when their presence filled the space. "Going somewhere, mate?" Ronan's voice stopped me in my tracks. My cheeks burned instantly with embarrassment. "No," I said too quickly. "I was not running. I was just trying to give you guys some privacy." Kael stepped closer, slow and deliberate, his fingers already working at the buckle of his belt. "Are you afraid?" "Me? Afraid?" I scoffed, forcing a casual laugh. "No way." I looked away, pretending confidence while my body betrayed me completely. "Really?" Kael murmured. "Because you look like you're shy and wanted to run, mate." "Let her be, she is tired," Edris said in my defense. "Really, brother? You pretend you don't want her when we're together, and then claim her for yourself the moment we are not looking," Kael replied, teasing but tense. Edris's gaze darkened as Kael and Ronan moved closer. "She is mine," Edris mutters, low, tense, as he watches. Kael grins, "She is our mate too. All of us." ---- As the only surviving heir of the Alpha King, Selena Blackthorn thought she had the perfect life. A loving father. A caring Mate. A rare bloodline passed down to her by her family.

“Mommy!! Daddy’s new mate said she’s having a baby. Does that mean he won’t want us anymore?” little Colin cried, clinging to my legs. “Mommy! That rude lady said Daddy doesn’t love us.” my twin Amy whispered, her lips trembling. I looked up from my sobbing children at my Alpha King mate, who had come chasing after them once his so-called mate had hurt them. "She’s pregnant? You told me she was just a fling," I choked. "You and the kids will never lack luxury or comfort," he uttered, refusing to meet my gaze. So that was his excuse? That was his answer to cheating? “You’ve already lost me. Now you’ve lost your children too. We’ll live better without you, and one day you’ll regret losing us.” The moment I said it, his eyes finally met mine, they were wet too. "Alpha King Kash, I reject you!" I hissed. .. Iris thought she had the perfect mate until she caught her Alpha husband cheating. Heartbroken and pregnant, she ran away, hiding in the woods with her unborn pups. Years later, Iris returned to the werewolf world, not as a weak Luna, but as a mother and a woman determined to take her place. But her Alpha had already married his mistress. When he discovered that Iris had left with his children, rage and regret consumed him. Now torn between betrayal and love, Iris faced a choice: protect her babies and destroy the mate who broke her, or risk giving him a second chance.

Kurisu wakes up in a miserable desert. He's missing an arm, his dignity and is half-starved and roasting... But even worse, he's forced inside the game he hates.  Kenshi. Kenshi orbits a distant planet from ours, and its surface is covered with the ruins of ancient civilizations destroyed by conflict. Now, the world and its people lay in the aftermath, armed with crossbows, swords, katanas, and the deadliest weapon of all: martial arts. After spending around 1,800 hours playing the game, Kurisu posted a rage-filled review but now he must put everything he learned into practice… if his cynical personality and lack of seriousness don’t get in the way. Though in Kenshi, that way of thinking is probably beneficial.  Kurisu knows the game like the back of his hand, every race, every glitch, every faction notable who wants the other ended. However now he's being truly tested forces him to confront the ultimate question: How to Kenshi? (A tribute to Lo-Fi Games, creators of Kenshi. I hope you enjoy!) Also feel free to critique, I do not take offense. 

“Alpha Troy! Over here!” I yelled, raising my hand for help. I was under attack by a monster while saving my mates. The four of them heard me cry out as the creature clawed me and slammed me against the wall. “Help me!” I gasped, but their attention shifted when a soft cry came from the other side. It was Oriana, the gentle princess and a warrior, a combination most men lusted after. But not my mates. They were in my troupe, my friends, my lovers. We shared a bed, a bond. I knew they would save me. “Ohhh! I’m going to die,” she whimpered again, though she could have stood up easily. The monster’s focus was on me. “Yorick!” I screamed, reaching for another of my mates, struggling to escape, my leg tangled in silver chains. My mates looked at me and then at her—and I saw it. The shine of love in their eyes. In a heartbeat, they ran to her. My heart slowed. Tears welled up. Oriana had warned me: when it came down to it, they would choose her. She told me they only used me to pass time in the dorm room because I agreed for gangbang while other she-wolves did not. And now, right before my eyes, they were leaping into battle—for her. “We’ll come back for you, don’t worry,” Haiden shouted, as if that erased the betrayal. At that moment, the monster turned back to me. And I knew there would be no saving me. So I prayed they’d live long enough to regret their choice. --- Clementine had spent her life as the insufferable daughter of an alpha—tough, rebellious, and uninterested in love, especially in a world where male wolves were allowed multiple mates.

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

She died with one truth: her marriage was a lie. Elena Chen’s life ended not with a whimper, but with a shove—her stepmother’s hands sending her over a balcony railing. In her final breath, she saw Alexander Wolfe, the cold tycoon who owned her, screaming her name with a terror she never thought him capable of. Then she woke up.

And somewhere in the city, Alexander Wolfe is preparing to claim his bride. But this time, Elena remembers everything. She knows who betrayed her. She knows how to destroy their schemes. And she has three days to vanish before the trap closes again. Except Alexander is no longer the man she remembers. He watches her from a car with tinted windows. He appears at the lawyer’s office before she can sign escape papers. And when she whispers her plans into the dark, his voice answers from the shadows: “Running didn’t work last time, Elena.” He remembers too. Now Elena faces a terrifying truth: the man she spent three years despising knows her every move before she makes it—and this time, he’s not content to be a distant, cold husband. This time, he will stop at nothing to keep her. She’s fighting for freedom. He’s fighting for a second chance. And in this life, one of them will lose everything.
