healing

Born into wealth but raised without love, Mariah Ashford has always been nothing more than a tool in her parents’ hands. Obedient. Silent. Replaceable. To save their collapsing company, they trade her away like a business contract—forcing her into a loveless marriage with Tony Wright, the arrogant heir of the richest family in the country. To him, she isn’t a wife. She’s a transaction. Humiliated, neglected, and forced to watch her husband flaunt his mistress in their home every night, Mariah endures it all, believing that if she tries hard enough, someone might finally choose her. But the night she’s pushed down the stairs and thrown out like trash. Something inside her breaks. Alone, injured, and abandoned, she collapses outside a hospital—only to be saved by a stranger. A quiet, dangerously handsome man with unreadable eyes. Asher Cross. A name whispered in the business world. A man more powerful than the Wrights. Richer. Untouchable. And for reasons she doesn’t understand, he refuses to let her go. For the first time in her life, Mariah is treated with warmth. With respect. With care. And when Asher discovers her hidden talent for fashion design, he does something no one has ever done before— He believes in her. With his silent protection and her own rising strength, Mariah begins to rebuild her life and her dreams. A new name. A new identity. A fashion empire of her own. But when her grand brand launch shakes the entire country and the elites receive an exclusive invitation… Her ex-husband. His mistress. And the parents who sold her. They all attend. Not knowing the woman they once discarded. Is now the queen standing above them all. This time? They’ll be the ones begging. And Mariah will never be anyone’s pawn again.

warning mature 18, sci fi, monster, Year 3100. When the extraterrestrial phenomenon known as *Paradise* descended upon Earth, it promised salvation. Instead, it infected the world. Forests crystallized into living structures. Animals mutated into colossal beasts. Entire regions vanished beneath bioluminescent growths that pulse like a second heartbeat for the planet. Japan survives behind fortified city-states, guarded by the Monster Hunter Alliance — humanity’s last defense against extinction. Aiko Takamura was never meant to be part of that war. Sold by her debt-ridden father to an underground auction, she expected a lifetime of suffering. Instead, a raid by the Alliance turns her fate into something far more dangerous. Classified as a strategic asset after her rare healing ability is discovered, she is placed under the command of the ruthless Colonel Renjiro Kurogane — a man feared by enemies and allies alike. To the Alliance, she is a resource. To criminals, she is priceless. To Paradise… she is something else entirely. As Titan-class beasts awaken and the truth behind Paradise begins to surface, Aiko must survive a world where hope is currency, loyalty is fragile, and freedom comes with a price. Because in a dying world, the girl who was sold may become the one humanity cannot afford to lose.

Lost in the abyss of her guilt, a mysterious light touches her… and brings her back. Not to her world, but to another. One where magic is different.

Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

Yet running for my life through the Forest Packs dragged me straight into the arms of the one place I never believed existed: Novaterra Pack. The paradise of shifters. The kingdom that rivaled human nations. The home of the Alpha King himself. And somehow… they accepted me. A runaway. A branded traitor. A boy with no pack number, no family, and a past wrapped in blood. I told myself I was here temporarily. Just until they figured out who I really was and tossed me to the wolves like I deserved. But then I saw him. The man with the red eyes. Kastiel Novaterra. The Alpha King who built paradise with his bare hands. The one man I should never look at, never want, never crave.

Demons lower their weapons. Even Mo Shen—the cold and untouchable Heavenly Arbiter who stands at the top of the world—finds his control slipping whenever she is near. Lin Yue is not a chosen one.

"My Lord, I only-" “Be silent,” he spat, not even looking at me. "You are no wife. Only a burden I must now carry across the kingdom.” He gripped my upper arm with a painful force, his strength bruising and indifferent, as he dragged me toward the towering, battle-scarred warhorse. “If you have any dignity left in you, stay downwind and out of my sight. Looking at you is a chore I no longer wish to endure."
