On her half-sister's wedding day, Fia's world shatters. Hazel, the bride, has allegedly eloped with Fia's fated mate, and over the phone he rejects her without mercy. With the Alpha groom ready to unleash war on her pack, and spurred on by her stepmother's pleas, Fia makes a desperate choice; she takes Hazel's place at the altar. But the marriage is nothing more than a cruel setup. Betrayed by her family and accused of stealing her sister's happiness, Fia becomes the perfect target for Alpha Cian's wrath. Humiliated and furious, he vows to keep her as his mate not out of love, but revenge. He swears he will break her, torment her, and make her pay until the end of time. What neither of them expects is that hate can twist, burn, and evolve into something far more dangerous. Between lies, betrayal, and a growing bond neither wants to acknowledge, Fia and Cian are bound to discover that the thin line between hate and love is meant to be crossed.

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

He tilted her chin up with two fingers, forcing her to look at him while the entire throne room watched. “Run,” the Devil King murmured softly, almost tenderly. “I like it when you run. Isn't that what you're good at?” Her pulse jumped, but she refused to blink. “And I like it when you bleed, loser.” A slow smile curved his mouth. The Elders moved uneasily. No one got to speak to him that way. No one survived it. He leaned closer, his voice lowering to something only she can hear. “You will be my bride, Firefly.” “Over my dead body.” His thumb brushed the mark on her wrist. “Exactly.” * When a forgotten girl is dragged before a tyrant king in search of a bride, she expects execution not recognition. But the man who rules the kingdom has been haunting her dreams for years. He calls her Firefly. He calls her his. And now he wants a crown on her head. Feared by his court, worshipped by his people, merciless to his enemies. But devoted only to her. As series of dark events unfold, she realizes that she was never chosen. She was claimed. The Devil’s Pet — a dark fantasy romance where obsession overrules love and running only makes the Devil chase harder.

"So, we all know the ongoing story(thank God I still have material to work with) of Monkey D. Luffy, the future Pirate King, right? And we all know about his dead brother, Portgas D. Ace also, right? Well, here's the thing: Ace's death has always bothered me, one way or another. And I know I'm not the only one who agrees with the donut's death. I always felt like there could be more to his character, instead of him just dying that easy. Like dying to a literal 'Yo Daddy's Joke'. I mean the dude had a powerful Logia-Type Devil Fruit, Conqueror's Haki, even stated to have awakened Armament, the potential to learn all three forms of Haki and awaken his Devil Fruit, yet decided to die like that. I mean, come on, Luffy learned basic Haki in two years, then proceeded to not only unlock all their advanced forms but also awaken his Devil Fruit. But then I realized, I can just make my own what-if. What if instead of Ace being the son of the former Pirate King, Luffy was truly the one who inherited that mantle instead? This is the story of Gol D. Luffy(my version since Manu from YouTube made his own what if video, go check it out if you want, but this is still my own take) and his crazy journey to becoming the King of the Pirates." ——————— WARNING → LANGUAGE/SWEARING!! → NO HAREM!! → NO LEMONS!! → NO SMUT(R18)!!

But Tony is interested in the woman who had the strength to say no to him, and Katherine finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of power struggle, desire, and growing love. As their relationship grows stronger, Tony's father, the ruthless mafia kingpin Thomas Marvin, will do whatever it takes to eliminate what he sees as his son's greatest weakness. Surrounded by enemies and with Katherine's entire family in danger, she and Tony must decide if their love is worth risking everything — including their lives.

Known for his flawless record and relentless pursuit of justice, Silvers has never encountered a mystery he couldn’t solve. This time, he steps into something far darker. As the investigation unfolds, Silvers discovers that the perpetrators are no ordinary criminals. They wield supernatural abilities, skills that defy human limits, and knowledge tied to forces long buried in secrecy. By the time he realizes the truth, withdrawal is no longer an option. The case has already claimed blood—and it demands more.

As alliances fracture and secrets surface, Detective Silvers is forced to confront a terrifying truth—this case was never just about justice. It was the opening move in a far greater game, one that will decide the fate of those who live in ignorance… and those who dare to uncover what lies beyond.

If he had asked her to walk into the fire with him right then, to tumble willingly into chaos, she would have said yes without hesitation. Her entire body shivered as she nodded, heart hammering, her pulse a wild drum against her ribs. "Always use your words, Bambola. Do you trust me?" he asked again. "Yes…yes…" Her back arched against him instinctively, skin flushed and glistening, every nerve screaming, every muscle taut and alive. Luca's other hand tightened at her neck, squeezing until she gasped for breath. The sensation was exquisite and terrifying, every nerve ending alight as he manipulated the fine line between restriction and pleasure. Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest. He sensed her reaching the edge and drove her closer, the hand at her neck tightening harder. "Luc…" she choked out, a fragmented plea that shattered as her body convulsed, releasing a hot, desperate wave against his fingers and the rug beneath them. Synopsis: She insulted the devil.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?
