betrayal

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. Because this time, love is not the greatest threat power is. And the children she protected in the shadows may decide the future of the Lycan realm.

She laughed with her rich friends… dared to use me like a toy. But the joke's on her now. When I got humiliated by the girl I loved, fate didn't hand me a second chance, it handed me a System. [Ding! Task: Seduce and Control Her Mother – Reward: $100,000 + Skill Upgrade] Her mother? A dominant CEO. Mature. Seductive. Cold-hearted. And now… she's obsessed with me. One task at a time, I'll break into their mansion, their boardroom, their twisted high-society world, and make them kneel. Ex-girlfriend? Regret will be the least of her emotions. [Ding! New Task: Destroy Her New Boyfriend's Family. Target: His Mother] Money. Power. Women. Control. They thought I was nobody. Now I'm the man they can't escape from. **** Join the community for exclusive character art, discussions, and sneak peeks: Discord — https://discord.gg/MS3vTX3Xwh **** Beware: NETORI | NO NETORARE | NO NETORASE | HAREM

His cock slams into me against the mansion's cold marble wall, hand clamped over my mouth to swallow my screams. Victor fucks me raw—deep, punishing, relentless—while Elena sleeps upstairs. I arch, nails digging into his back, begging through muffled moans. "More," I gasp when he lets me breathe. He growls, thrusts harder, spilling inside me with a possessive snarl. We collapse, sweaty, guilty. Tell ourselves it's the last time. It's never the last. I was never meant to crave my sister's husband. Victor Ravenscroft—ice-cold billionaire, empire forged in ruthless control. To the world, Elena's perfect match: devoted, unbreakable. To me, he's the drug I can't quit. Stolen glances ignited into filthy obsession—desperate sex in every dark corner: bent over counters, his fingers bruising my hips, my moans silenced by his palm while Elena dreams above us. Guilt scorched. But the need devoured me whole. I lost my job daydreaming about him. Risked everything for one more hit of his cock. Lied, manipulated, spiraled—paranoia eating me alive. Notes in shadows. Bells in the night. Poison in my veins. Every day, I break a little more—shameless, willing to burn the world for him. Elena knows. She doesn't rage. She watches. Smiles—that soft, loving sister smile—and savors my destruction. Tiny joys in my unraveling: a hug while I shake, tea while I weaken, texts timed to twist the knife. She's patient. Delighted. As my obsession hollows me out—turning me into someone who could kill, lie, steal a child’s love just for his touch—Elena waits. Quiet. Joyful. For the moment I shatter completely. Because this isn't just betrayal. It's my self-destruction. And she's enjoying every crack. When the obsession finally consumes me… will anything be left?

Aira was never the girl people chose. She was the temporary one… the easy one… the one everyone used and left behind. Her whole life, she kept saying sorry— sorry for existing, sorry for loving too much, sorry for not being enough. But one night, at her lowest, Aira decides she’s done begging for love. Now she wants money, glow-up, power, and revenge. So she starts writing her pain into a book… hoping it’ll finally change her life. And then a comment appears. From an anonymous account with a cat profile picture: @whyisthiscatreading “Your book… it didn’t feel fictional.” Aira doesn’t know who he is. She doesn’t know his face. She doesn’t know his real name. All she knows is this— someone out there is reading her pain like it belongs to them… and the more he reads, the more obsessed he becomes. Because this time, Aira won’t be the girl people leave behind. This time… she’ll be the girl they’ll regret losing.

In a final act of sacrifice, Mokshit destroys the Devourer—but loses everything he was meant to become. His powers vanish. The forest falls silent. And yet… the corruption is not truly gone.

In the stillness before the storm, she was a masterpiece of cold elegance. Riha was the perfect tool. As the "Shadow Lord" of the Shadow Vile, she moved through the darkness to protect a family that treated her like a ghost. She expected a life of service; she didn't expect the daggers in her back. Betrayed by her own blood and left to drown in the silver depths of the Star-Glow Lake, Riha’s life didn't just flash before her eyes—it shattered. But as she sank into the crushing darkness, the Abyss didn't take her soul. It recognized its ruler. They wanted a sacrificial lamb to die in the dark. Instead, they birthed a Sovereign who would command it. "The stars witnessed my fall. Now, the world will tremble at my return."

Some beings are born into the world. Others endure it. Celeste walks through cities that quietly make space for her, through centuries that refuse to forget her. She carries a history no one dares to ask about and a presence that unsettles even silence. This is a story of distance and survival, of what remains when belonging is denied and memory becomes a burden. A tale where despair is not an end, but a companion, and where what is hidden may matter far more than what is revealed.
