betrayal

When Orion, the leader of the Nightshade Pack, finds an injured woman near his territory, he makes an impulsive decision to bring her into his pack for treatment. Doubts linger, as she may be a spy sent by the Enclave, led by the ruthless Luna, Victoria. What was supposed to be a straightforward case of recovery quickly becomes complicated. When Sophia awakens, she is plagued by amnesia, remembering only her name. Orion faces a dilemma: should he send her away or allow her to stay? Ultimately, he decides to keep her until her memories return. As Sophia adjusts to life in the Nightshade Pack, a deep connection forms between her and Orion. They begin to realize they belong together, but what will happen when Sophia’s memories start returning in fragments? Will those memories destroy not only their bond but also the safety of the entire pack? NB: Luna in this novel is a different concept, it doesn't just mean the wife of the Alpha. And also this book is rated 18.

‘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?

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) (Still waiting on final product, this is just a test!) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)

Jeather died trying to save someone. Gravity disagreed. An orphan, former underground fighter turned priest, he thought his story ended on the twentieth floor of a balcony. Instead, he wakes up in a new world where power comes from sealing monsters into cards—and your social status depends on how scary your beast is. Unfortunately, he starts at the bottom. Fortunately, his “Common-ranked” Verdant Demon doesn’t behave like it read the ranking manual. Now living in the Ardent District inside the body of a disgraced academy student with unfinished grudges, Jeather begins hunting beasts, collecting them like expensive hobbies, and slowly uncovering fragments of betrayal tied to a noble heir named Jefferson and a suspiciously calculating princess. Between slipping in mud, negotiating monster prices, and questioning why he’s slightly addicted to collecting rare creatures, Jeather makes one thing clear: He’s done being the one who falls. In this second life, he will live fully, grow stronger, evolve his demon into something terrifying… —and when the time comes, he won’t just survive the revenge waiting for him. He’ll collect that too.

They were never supposed to be real. On screen, they were the perfect BL couple—chemistry that made fans believe in love stories again. Off screen… they were something more. Until one kiss changed everything. A leaked photo turns their secret relationship into a public scandal. Overnight, love becomes damage control. The company doesn’t protect them. It controls them. One is forced into an idol group he never wanted. The other is pushed into a new acting partnership built on a lie. A fake statement is released: “Mutual decision. Professional separation.” But behind the cameras, nothing about them feels mutual. Every smile becomes scripted. Every touch becomes staged. Every glance becomes dangerous. And when they finally meet again in secret, the truth breaks through: Some love stories don’t end when they’re forced apart. They only become harder to hide. Because in an industry built on illusion… the realest thing they ever had was each other.

“Ji-Ah Voss doesn’t fall — not in business, not in life, and definitely not in love. But when a single misstep puts her in the arms of Min-Ho — a man who shouldn’t exist in her world — something shifts. Because Min-Ho isn’t just a celebrity. He’s a variable in a system she controls… and somehow, he’s already inside it. In a world of power, secrets, and calculated moves, one mistake could cost everything. And this time—Ji-Ah might be the one losing control.

“You have seven days, Damon. Kill Seraphina Vale…or I will.” Those words came from De Luca, Damon’s father, cold and threatening.

Now she’s playing a deadly game that could get her killed. Damon finds out and is faced with a difficult choice. Letting her live was his first mistake, but falling for her was his biggest one. Now, with a deadline hanging over her head, Damon is forced into an impossible choice—kill the girl he can’t stop thinking about…or betray everything he was raised to be. As tension builds and secrets begin to unravel, lines blur between love and revenge, loyalty and survival. Every choice closes in with its own consequences. Who will pay the price of love, betrayal, survival and secrets?

Years later, fate drags her back into a world ruled by blood and crowns, where the King claims her without knowing what she has already lost for him. As ancient councils scheme, rival Lycans hunt, and forbidden prophecies resurface, Aelara must choose between the safety of silence and the danger of truth.

They called me a battery. Plug in, drain dry, discard. For three years, I healed every wound the Darkflame Guild inflicted on others—while they inflicted new ones on me. Then they killed my only friend to buy my silence. They should have killed me instead. Now I have a new ability: Decay. Every touch I give looks like healing. But inside, I'm counting down the hours until their powers crumble from within—naturally, untraceable, perfectly fatal. I've joined a new guild. I smile at my enemies every morning. I heal them when they ask. And one by one, they're going to rot.

Kael used to be part of the “Special Army” that defended the world against “monsters.” Fourteen years ago, unknown portals that looked like black holes started to appear all around the world. After the first monster attack, humans gained extraordinary powers. Having learned their lesson, they went and attacked the monsters first before they could strike. Kael was part of the first group of “Extraordinary Humans,” who later called themselves the “Special Army.” He spent the next seven years fighting for peace. He also found the meaning of his life when the person he secretly loved also loved him back. Everything was going well… until they entered an S-Class Dungeon and his special ability was revealed to everyone. A gift of immortality, also known as “Athanasia.” He never could have guessed that his lover, the very person who gave meaning to his life, would be the same person who would take it from him. His lover killed his comrades in front of him one by one, demanding the gift. Kael gave it up willingly, but his lover still killed him in the end. Just when his lover thought he had died, Kael miraculously survived. Seven years later, his lover became the leader of the biggest and most influential guild in the world. Kael planned to live his life in hiding and live peacefully. But he never could have thought that his ex-lover was still obsessed with the “gift,” going as far as hunting each of Kael’s relatives and friends just to get his hands on the “elixir.” Now, Kael is bent on exacting revenge and stopping this monster from being loose. He will do whatever it takes. He can go as far as getting close to his ex-lover’s younger brother and using him for revenge.

Caspian is not a man. He is the Cycle itself — the eternal engine of Destruction and Rebirth that has turned since before this universe drew its first breath. In the previous eon, he was betrayed. The women he called soulmates. The generals he called brothers. They drained his Genesis Core, detonated his Laws, and reduced an entire civilization to cosmic dust — with his own power. Now he has been reborn into a mortal shell in this recovering world, where Aetheric energy is just beginning to stir. His memories are intact — every face, every betrayal. But his divine power is gone, stolen by those he trusted most. His only anchor is the Omega Exchange — an ancient entity bound to his soul, now awakening in the shadows of the world's most powerful lie: The Temple of Holy Radiance. [Omega Exchange Initialized] [Status: Mortal Shell (Critical Instability)] [Quest: Reclaim 10 Genesis Laws] [Warning: Detonation Imminent] The foolish masses worship their Temple gods. They don't know that the god the Temple originally served — was him. To survive, he must walk two paths simultaneously: Flesh — to suppress the Destruction that wants to consume him. Soul — to ignite the Rebirth that will restore what was taken. The women of this world are no longer equals in his eyes: Some are Fuel — parasites wearing holy masks. Raw energy to be burned. Some are Vessels — beautiful, hollow. Their only purpose is to absorb his violence. Some are Resonants — rare souls that echo the abyss. He conquers their minds long before their flesh. And then there are the ten. Apex-Tier. Singular. Irreplaceable. Each carrying a fragment of a Genesis Law — his Laws, stolen in his past life. His first Apex ignites a Soul-Brand: a permanent bond carved into the fabric of their Laws. Through it, he feels her heartbeat from three hundred kilometers. Through it, their Laws begin to fuse. Through it, the line between weapon and partner blurs into something neither can name. But brute force won't be enough. He must become the ultimate mastermind — manipulating noble houses into political marriages, turning a national chaebol into his silent army, and making the puppet king himself open the palace doors. Every faction thinks they're playing him. None realize they're already standing on his board. He will unmask every traitor in the Temple's shadow. He will reclaim every fragment of what is his. And when the last Law is restored — The Cycle begins again. Under his rule. Forever. Those who submit will reign. Those who deceive him will be nothing. The Omega Exchange is open. Step inside.

They called her the daughter of death, a deadly assassin whose name alone struck terror into the hearts of the powerful. When her own story ended in blood, she opened her eyes as Shen Yelan, the disgrace of the Shen family. Called a jinx and a bad omen, she was despised and scorned by the very people who should have protected her. But after a kidnapping incident, the weak Shen Yelan was gone.

Every debt must be repaid. There’s just one problem. For some reason, a certain second young master won’t leave her alone. Everyone in the city knows about Huo Ziyan.

Rumor had it he doesn't have a heart. So why did he keep showing up wherever she went? . . . “Baby, you said this was your last mission.” “It is.” “Then after it's over, marry me, okay?” “……Get lost.”

"Sign it, Aria. Don’t make this more pathetic than it already is." The smell of his expensive cologne mixed sickeningly with the scent of her stepsister’s perfume on the damp hotel sheets. Julian didn’t look like the man who had whispered promises of forever an hour ago; he looked like a predator closing a trap. Beside him, Elena smirked, pulling the silk duvet higher over her shoulder—a silent, triumphant taunt. "You were having sex with her," Aria whispered, her voice cracking as the roar of the fashion show’s bass thumped through the walls of the dressing suite. "On my runway night. In our bed." "Technically, it’s my bed now," Elena chirped, her eyes gleaming with malice. "Just like it’s my lead spot in the show. You’re trending, sister. But not for the fashion." Julian shoved the fountain pen into Aria’s trembling hand. "The scandal hits the press in ten minutes. Your career is dead, your reputation is ashes, and this divorce is your only way out before the sponsors sue you for every cent you own. Sign the papers, take your shame, and disappear." With a numb heart and a hand that felt like ice, Aria scribbled her name, severing her life. An hour later, rain lashed against the neon lights of the city as she stumbled into a darkened bar, a ghost in a couture gown. She didn't want comfort; she wanted to feel something other than the knife in her back. When the man in the corner—shadowed, lethal, and radiating a terrifying power—offered her his hand and a night of forgetting, she took it. She didn't know his name. She didn't know he was the most dangerous man in the financial world. She only knew that as she walked away from the wreckage of her life the next morning, she was carrying a secret that would one day bring the world to its knees.

Find a mate. Bear a cub. Save the world. Left stranded on an empty road with nothing but her purse and a broken heart, Lin Wan follows the only direction available to her and walks straight into a world that was never meant for her. The Beast Continent is vast and wild and runs on rules she does not understand, and apparently her body has exactly three hours before it starts shutting down. The solution, according to the cheerful system that just moved into her head, is simple. Find a mate. Bear a cub. Save the world.

Elara spent her entire life believing in one thing: the mate bond. As the daughter of a low-ranking wolf, she knew her place in the pack. Quiet. Loyal. Invisible. But everything changed the night the Moon Goddess revealed her mate. The Alpha. Kael Blackthorn. The most powerful werewolf in the region. Cold, ruthless, and destined to rule. For one brief moment, Elara believed fate had chosen her. But Kael rejected her. In front of the entire pack. Humiliated and broken, Elara leaves the only home she has ever known. She disappears into the human world, determined to build a life where she is no longer defined by the mate who cast her aside. Years pass. And Elara changes. She is no longer the quiet girl the pack once ignored. She has power. Secrets. And a strength Kael never saw. But when fate brings them together again, the bond between them awakens stronger than ever. Only this time… Elara refuses to be claimed. And Kael realizes something terrifying. Rejecting her may have been the greatest mistake of his life. Because the woman he lost… might be the only one capable of destroying him. —or saving him.

“That mark on your neck..” he began “No one, must know about the bond between us.” Adina looked at him, startled. “W-what?” “You will cover your neck everyday. You will live as you have and you will never speak of what happened yesterday. I will never acknowledge you as my mate. Never.” Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “Why? Why did you mark me if you didn’t want me?” “If I had a choice, I wouldn’t even look at you.” He stepped closer, the cold in his eyes crueler than anything she’d ever seen. “Do you really think I’d choose you? A murderer?” His lip curled. “You killed your Alpha’s heir. Do you think anyone would want that as a mate?” ~~~~~ Framed for killing her Alpha’s pup. Adina is stripped off her title, and sold as a slave. Adina was once Luna of her pack, now she’s chained and sent to the most feared ruler in the realm. Thorne Vargan Rhukor, the cursed Lycan King. A beast whispered about in nightmares. A killer who murdered his own mate and fed her remains to vultures. But when their eyes meet, everything changes. A forgotten bond ignites. A prophecy stirs. And the King who vowed to never love again… wants her. In a world of beasts, bargains, and betrayal… how much is a soul really worth?
