“Ruling is the duty of oversight, to oversee instead of create. To govern instead of live. It came with power and prestige, with obligation and responsibility. Soldiers fought and farmers farmed, but to be King is to rule. To maintain the illusion of power one’s forefathers had built. Marcus didn’t care for any of it. He saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the King is old and he an only child. Decisions had to be made. Important, hard decisions. No one expected much of him. Not in regards to anything but magic. They were right not to. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, and that all his skill with the arcane did not make him immortal. That running from problems did not, in fact, make them go away. Marcus Sepsimus Lannoy—Marcus to the friends he did not have—touched something he should not have on the day he planned to run from his problems.” Inspiration taken from The Menocht Loop, A Practical Guide to Evil and everything else I have ever read in my life. But mostly the first two, though not overly much from either. Concepts and the like. I hope to do them justice. Am I rambling? I feel like I’m rambling.

Eve never believed in fate...until three ruthless alphas claimed her as theirs. Desperate to save her dying mother, Eve works as a masked dancer at Eclipse, the city's most exclusive club, where anonymity is her only protection. When the infamous Blackwood triplets—Damian, Damon, and Silas, offer her an obscene amount of money for a six-month exclusive contract, she accepts despite the terrifying rumors. Girls whisper about their brutality, their insatiable appetites, and the way they share everything... including women. The first night, Eve discovers the rumors don't do them justice. Damian commands her body with cold precision, every touch calculated to break down her defenses. Damon's dangerous playfulness pushes her past limits she didn't know she had, making her crave the edge of fear and pleasure. Silas watches with obsessive intensity, learning every tremor and gasp, demanding complete psychological surrender. Together, they overwhelm her....three predators claiming their prey in the most primal way possible. But something is different about Eve. While other women break under the brothers' dark desires, she endures. She matches their intensity, craves their brutality, returns night after night hungry for more. They're possessive in ways that should terrify her, marking her body as their territory, but her skin burns hotter under their hands than it ever has before. The brothers don't understand why they can't stay away from her. Why her scent drives them to the edge of madness. Why the mate bond...something they never believed they'd find...pulls them to this masked human with increasing, undeniable force. Then Eve's body begins to change. After three days without them, she collapses, her body shutting down from a hunger no food can satisfy. When Damian touches her fevered skin, her eyes glow amber and an ancient binding spell shatters. The truth explodes between them in a wave of desperate, consuming need: Eve isn't human.

She needs them...needs their touch, their dominance, their insatiable desire....or she'll die. A dark paranormal romance of fated mates, brutal alphas, and a queen who was born to rule them all.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could do that before she finally killed him. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well-informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and she knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. She was the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. Did he think he could subdue her so easily?

In a world where the sky remembers every sin ever committed beneath it, peace is nothing more than a fragile lie. Kazuka lives in the quiet mountain village of Arashima, a place untouched by war and forgotten by history. Like many boys his age, he dreams of adventure but expects a life no greater than the one his parents lived before him. That illusion shatters the night a creature born from a broken realm descends from the heavens and turns his home into ashes. Dragged into forces far beyond his understanding, Kazuka awakens a power long thought erased—a legacy bound to ancient pacts, shattered worlds, and a truth the world buried out of fear. Marked as a bearer of something both coveted and cursed, he becomes a target for factions that rule from the shadows: empires built on blood, hunters sworn to erase his kind, and beings that should not exist in the waking world. Forced to flee, Kazuka begins a journey across dangerous lands where survival is never guaranteed and strength is earned through pain. Each battle pushes him closer to the truth of who he is—and further from the boy he once was. Along the way, allies with hidden motives and enemies with twisted convictions blur the line between salvation and destruction. But power alone will not save him. As ancient seals weaken and the sky begins to fracture once more, Kazuka must confront the question no legend dares to answer: is he meant to stop the coming collapse… or is he the key to its completion? In a world where fate is written in blood and memory, Kazuka is a tale of loss, growth, and defiance—an epic fantasy adventure where every step forward risks awakening the end of everything.

ALL CHAPTERS HAS BEEN RERWRITTEN(1-15-2026) "Hanae, let’s be honest. You’re too plain. You’re boring. Emi is fragile and needs me, but you? You’re sturdy enough to survive on your own." On their wedding day, Kenji didn’t just break Hanae’s heart—he humiliated her in front of all of Neo-Tokyo, leaving her at the altar for her manipulative, "sickly" stepsister. Everyone expected the gentle, soft-spoken Hanae to cry. They expected her to beg. Instead, she sighed. "You’re right, Kenji. I am sturdy." RIIIP. With a single motion, Hanae tore the silk wedding dress from her body, revealing not the soft skin of a housewife, but rock-hard muscles, scars from a thousand battles, and the terrifying dragon tattoo of the "Asura"—the legendary, retired heir of the Kurosawa Yakuza Clan. For six years, Hanae starved herself, wore baggy clothes, and pretended to be weak just to fit Kenji’s ideal of a "delicate wife." Now, the act is over. The Dragon has woken up. Step 1: Beat up the ex-husband’s bodyguards in high heels. Step 2: Sign a contract marriage with Ryuuji, the dangerous "Demon King" of the rival syndicate. Step 3: Remind the entire underworld why they used to fear her name. When Kenji realizes that his "useless" wife was actually the mastermind behind his success—and the only woman capable of protecting him—he comes crawling back on his knees, weeping for forgiveness. Hanae looks down at him, cracking her knuckles with a smile that promises violence. "Forgive you? Sorry, my husband gets jealous when I play with trash."
