betrayal

“This world is built on lies. If you want to keep it alive, make sure none of them are exposed. They must never reach his ears.” As long as Shuu could remember, these words had governed his life. Abandoned at the grand temple and forsaken by the gods, Shuu grew up powerless in a world that valued nothing else. Survival was never guaranteed, especially for someone like him. Yet he had one talent-he could read fortunes, and he never got them wrong. His future was decided early. He would serve the temple until his debt was paid, then fade away. But during the Hero’s fortune reading, Shuu made a single mistake. One moment was enough to strip him of his place and throw him into exile-only to be taken in by the very Hero who caused it, a man whose presence turns Shuu’s life completely off course. And as Shuu is pulled deeper into the Hero’s path, he begins to realize that something about the Hero and his companions is deeply wrong-something he cannot yet name, but cannot ignore. __________ Please leave a review.

She was born with everything—wealth, beauty, and a life wrapped in silk and privilege. Evelyn Monroe, the jewel of H Country’s most powerful family, had never known fear… until the night a car accident shattered her perfect world. When she opens her eyes, she is no longer a princess in a gilded mansion. She is a prisoner. Her captor? The most feared man in the underworld—the ruthless mafia king whose name alone silences entire empires. His hands are stained with blood, his heart carved from ice, and yet… he claims her as his own. “Evelyn,” he murmurs, his voice low and inescapable, “from the moment you stepped into my world, there was no way out.” Cold-blooded. Tyrannical. Obsessively possessive. He cages her in luxury, controls her every move, and bends the world to his will. She resists with everything she has—hating his dominance, fearing his brutality, refusing to surrender her pride. But when enemies close in and danger strikes, it is always him who stands in front of her. Bullets, betrayal, bloodshed—he shields her from them all, staking his entire arms empire on her safety. The devil, who shows no mercy to the world, softens only for her, hiding desperate tenderness beneath suffocating control. From captive to cherished obsession. From resistance to reluctant trust. From hatred… to a love so consuming it burns. Because when the cruelest man in the world chooses to love, he does not do it halfway. He destroys kingdoms for her. He kneels only for her. And if she ever dares to leave... He will set the world on fire to bring her back.

[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. ...

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.

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.
