healing

He won her in a bidding war. She expected chains. Instead, he offered chaos, and something dangerously close to freedom. Anastasia was raised in the temple, carved from childhood with sacred runes. Each one a blood-soaked tribute to the gods she never chose. A weapon. A symbol. A prize passed from hand to hand. A body to be used and sold. When the temples auction her off, she’s prepared to survive whatever comes next. She’s not prepared for him. Malvor, the God of Chaos, is all smirks and swagger, crowned in mischief and dressed like temptation itself. But beneath the theatrics is a man hiding his own scars. Some emotional, some eternal. He doesn’t want obedience. He wants fire. Challenge. Her. And Anastasia? She’s done playing the part of the willing doll. She’s dangerous, defiant, and not afraid to bite the hand that tries to claim her. Now, caught in a realm where illusions have teeth and gods play games with mortal lives, the only thing more reckless than trusting Malvor… is falling for him. This isn’t a love story. It’s healing wrapped in heat. It’s trauma, chaos, and slow, aching desire. It starts with a woman who was never meant to survive. But did. And came back sharper.

Lin Yue only wanted a normal job—one that didn’t involve monsters, demons, or the laws of heaven. Instead, she ends up in the Tianxu Realm, a cultivation world ruled by fear, power, and strict cosmic order. Strangely, the most dangerous beings become calm around her. Monsters stop raging. 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. She cannot cultivate. She has no special bloodline. She simply treats feared beings like ordinary people. And that breaks every rule of this world. The more factions try to “secure” her, the more unstable the realm becomes. The more Mo Shen protects her, the more violently the Heavenly Order reacts. In a world where emotional attachment is a cosmic crime, Lin Yue’s quiet presence becomes a threat—and her existence sparks obsession, rivalry, and war. Between absurdly dangerous daily encounters, subtle romantic tension, and claims she never asked for, Lin Yue must choose: cling to a normal life that can never return, or stand at the center of a world that may collapse because of one forbidden bond. Because in the Tianxu Realm, love is not a blessing— it is a violation.

"I should not. I hate to be a bother." Mr Brand stepped back, inviting her. "But that is the problem, Madelyn. I find myself wanting you to." Madelyn gasped. "Mr Brand..." "Come, Madelyn. Come in." Hesitantly, she stepped in and he pushed the door closed. Commanding the high seas as he had always, Brand amasses his wealth focused on business and his fealty to the king, with his thoughts of women remaining the same: they are not worth the trouble and time they are awarded. No woman is allowed to bother him. None, until Madelyn. Madelyn wishes to live above the thoughts of her late husband's family and to do that, she must escape their good pleasure and find a life for herself, the farther the better. Brand's crew offers the opportunity to do so, and she would without any man commanding her ever. But what must she do when Brand's command is the very one she now wishes for?

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan.

What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away?

Julia Hale is a beastwoman of unsettling beauty, an emergency room nurse in a large, unforgiving city, and the mother of young twins still too innocent to grasp the cost of silence. Behind her clinical composure and carefully ordered routine, Julia carries the scars of years of domestic violence, relentless humiliation, and a past that has never truly loosened its grip. Separated from Theo Desmond, her charismatic and predatory ex-husband, Julia struggles to build a stable life. She works. She raises her children. She manages her body, her desire, her exhaustion. On the surface, she is moving forward. In reality, she is still surviving. Her trauma does not erupt in screams but in interrupted gestures, intrusive memories, conflicted desire. She is in love with a woman—Stella Vance—a one-sided, silent love never spoken aloud. This attachment becomes a mirror, reflecting both what Julia longs for and what she still cannot claim. Under the Skin of a Beastwoman is neither a revenge story nor a tale of miraculous healing. It is a fragmented, intimate chronicle of a woman learning—slowly, imperfectly—to detach herself from a life built on fear, while trying to offer her children a future she was never given. An R18 urban narrative, visceral and deeply personal, where the body, desire, and memory become battlegrounds for survival and reclamation.
