While theories spiral, fan edits trend and netizens debate who deserves to die next as they swoon over the generated pictures of the killer, Kimi makes it her goal to find their true identity. Too bad the internet doesn’t believe in coincidence. Too bad grief makes liars of us all.

In the warring kingdoms of Lumeria and Zharyal, the third princess of Lumeria, Nyima Deki, is beloved by the people yet shrouded in rumor—some whisper she is the illegitimate daughter of the king, her past a mystery. At nineteen, she saves a suspicious young man, Kenji, from being captured as a potential threat linked to the deadly Ghost Viber Assassin group.

On the night the mate bond awakened, the Alpha chose power over destiny—casting her aside as weak, unwanted, and unworthy of standing beside him. Her wolf shattered. Her bond screamed. And she was banished with nothing but her pain. But rejection doesn’t break a mate bond. It turns it into hunger.

The bond pulls harder than ever… and it won’t let him forget what he threw away. She is no longer the broken girl he rejected. She is powerful. Desired. And done begging. This time, if he wants her— He’ll have to suffer first.

They shared a night meant to be forgotten… until destiny brought him back as her stepbrother—the one she’s forbidden to love forever. She never believed in destiny— until one reckless night in a foreign land changed everything. A stranger. A connection too intense to ignore. A one-night stand meant to stay in the past. But...

I’m your average girl—well, *was*—who spends most of her days buried in CEO romance novels. Yeah, I know, *so cliche*, right? But hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. So, what about work, you ask? Well, my job made it easy to read the day away as long as I got my tasks done by the end of the day. Sounds perfect, right? Simple, right? Well, that's because I was a librarian. *Past tense.* Why? Because some arrogant, narcissistic jerk gets me fired. Why? Apparently, I didn’t notice him walking up to the counter because I was too busy getting lost in my latest book. Now, you’d think any *normal* person would just tap me on the shoulder and say, “Excuse me.” But no, this guy *decides* to fire me. Rude? Oh, you bet. But that’s not even the worst part. Oh, no. The real problem started when I decided to get my revenge. That’s when I got tangled up with him… in more ways than one. Now, not only am I working for this narcissistic jerk, but I’m doing it undercover. Why? Because apparently, he has an issue with women working for him... especially when things get *too close* in the sheets. (Yeah, you *get* where this is going.) So, I’m pretending to be a man. Why? Because I need the job. It’s high-paying, and it’s my ticket out of my miserable, *pathetic* life. I mean, revenge is great and all, but I’ve got bills to pay. Money’s my new love, and there’s no way I’m letting some petty rivalry get in the way of it. The tricky part? Balancing my need for cash with the fear of being exposed. I’ve got two huge secrets: one, I’m the woman who shared the sheets with him. And two? I’m a woman, disguised as a man, and praying every day that my cover doesn’t blow. One wrong move, and my entire life—my job, my reputation, my *revenge*—could come crashing down. So, yeah, no pressure. But hey, what’s life without a little drama, right? Right."

The universe was never meant to exist as one. Hidden behind the human world lies another realm known as the Fate Dominion, a place where destinies are documented, negotiated, and enforced. While humans live believing their lives are shaped by choice and chance, the Dominion governs the invisible threads that bind love, power, and future together. For centuries, an unbreakable law has stood firm. The two worlds must never intersect. Amara Cole grows up entirely unaware of this truth. Raised in Lagos City, she lives a modest life defined by long hours, quiet determination, and the belief that survival depends solely on effort. She has no mark, no prophecy, and no indication that fate has ever noticed her. She believes she belongs fully to the human world, unseen and unclaimed. That belief shatters on her twenty third birthday. A glowing sigil burns into her wrist, forming a seal that does not resemble a name or bond of love. Before she can understand what it means, strangers arrive with impossible authority and open a gateway where none should exist. Amara is taken across realms and delivered into the Fate Dominion, a world of floating towers, ancient Houses, and powerful corporations that trade futures like currency. Waiting for her is Nathaniel Crowe. CEO of Aurelion Group and one of the most feared figures in the Dominion, Nathaniel is a man who rose by dismantling ancient powers and replacing them with corporate control. Calm, precise, and unreadable, he tells Amara the truth without hesitation. Her existence was sealed within a forbidden fate thread purchased years ago. A destiny never meant to awaken. He is the one who bought it. Amara learns that she does not belong solely to either world. Her soul is bound to both, making her a violation of the oldest laws governing existence. If she returns to the human world, the Dominion will hunt her. If she remains, she becomes a prize in a growing power struggle between ancient Houses and corporate empires eager to control what she represents. Nathaniel offers protection, but protection comes at a cost. Bound by contracts she barely understands, Amara is drawn into political games where loyalty is fragile and betrayal is inevitable. She witnesses how destinies are reassigned, how love is regulated, and how futures are altered to maintain balance. In the Dominion, power is quiet, elegant, and ruthless. Yet the greatest danger is not the world itself. It is the man who controls her fate. Nathaniel is not cruel. He is controlled, distant, and fiercely protective in ways that confuse her. As their paths intertwine, Amara begins to see cracks in his composure. He carries the weight of an old betrayal, one that destroyed the woman he was once destined to love. His rise to power was built on a choice that cannot be undone. As their connection deepens, Amara’s mark begins to change. It responds to her emotions, her defiance, and her desire. Fate, which should be absolute, starts to bend. Records shift. Predictions fail. The Dominion begins to realize that Amara is not an asset. She is a disruption. The truth emerges slowly and painfully. Nathaniel did not find her by accident. He chose her, hoping to correct a past mistake and atone for a betrayal that still haunts him. In doing so, he created a fracture between worlds, one that now threatens to collapse both realms entirely. Caught between love and freedom, Amara must decide who she is willing to betray. The man who owns her fate. The world that wants to control her. Or the destiny that insists she was never meant to exist. Because when two forbidden worlds collide, something must fall. And this time, it may be fate itself.

A witch without faith. A war without heroes. This is not the Dragon Age you remember. The main character of the work is Morrigan. The one... The overbearing, intelligent, sarcastic and not-so-mysterious companion of the protagonist of Dragon Age: Origins. In contrast to the original, the entire focus of the story shifts to this amazing daughter of Flemette. By fate, as in the canon, the witch leaves Korkari. But it is not only the threat of Blight that drives her on her difficult adventures, relentlessly flooding the south of Ferelden with darkness and death. The attack... And the personal entanglements the Sorceress finds herself in force her to become more active. In the name of survival, she transforms from follower to leader. From now on, the girl no longer chooses who to stay with, but who is trustworthy, or at least curious enough to stay. Others will lose the support of the reluctant southerner. Ambition, growing amidst the gathering darkness of madness and the flames of civil war, will determine where the new path will take her. A tangle of wit, magic and contingency knows no bounds. The narrative is based on a classic Dragon Age episode, centred on a desperate band of disparate individuals facing the threat of the Fifth Dawn. There are changes of varying degrees to the series of events that have already occurred and future events that are inherent to the canon. Some are on the surface. Others are less visible. Who is the saviour here? And is there one at all? What if the familiar characters had a slightly different, more down-to-earth motivation? Or if a series of miraculous rescues didn't happen? Characters with a prominent role in the canon might be left behind, die or suffer unforeseen consequences. I invite the reader to the fire, to experience this small but hopefully fascinating experiment together.

Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”

“Oh my god! The prince sent an invitation for the upcoming royal ball!” Eleanor exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement as she waved the golden-sealed letter in her hand. “The royal ball!?” Anna and Cindy squealed, nearly toppling over their chair in delight. “Shh! We don’t want Ella to hear about this,” Eleanor hissed, glancing nervously over her shoulder. And there she was, Ella, standing by the doorway with her eyes gleaming, ready to pounce on anyone in sight. “Did someone say balls?” Ella grinned widely, her smile wide enough to make her mother and sister flinch. “No, no—it’s a royal ball, a ball. It’s where people… dance,” Eleanor stammered, her voice faltering. “Well, then,” Ella said, her grin stretching further, “there’s going to be a lot of balls there.” And with that, Ella darted to her room, already rummaging through her drawers. Ella wasn’t just dreaming of going to the royal ball— she dreams of every ball. In a kingdom obsessed with beauty and perfection, Ella, long ridiculed as the “ugly half-sister,” has spent her life in the shadows of her graceful and adored sisters. However, Ella never allowed mockery to pierce her strange, unbothered world. She focused on the hobby that kept growing—collecting balls and other round-shaped items. When the royal family announced the grand ball to find a bride for their prince, Eleanor’s heart sank. She feared Ella’s oddities might bring embarrassment to their family. Desperate to uphold their name, Eleanor resolved to turn her awkward daughter into a refined young lady, no matter how severe the training. “Posture, Ella! You’re not a hunchbacked scarecrow!” “Smile softly, not like you’re about to eat someone!” But despite Eleanor’s strict lessons, Ella’s wild grin never faded. It only sharpened. When the night of the royal ball finally arrived, the palace glimmered under crystal chandeliers. The prince stood poised, the very image of perfection, until the grand doors opened. Ella entered, her gown shimmering with hundreds of tiny glass spheres sewn into the fabric, catching every flicker of light. The room fell silent as a faint, musical clinking echoed with each step she took. The prince turned, his flawless gaze locking with hers. Ella smiled, leaning close enough for only him to hear. “I’ve always loved balls,” she whispered. The prince’s lips parted slightly, his polished smile faltering as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. Ella tilted her head, her grin fierce and unrestrained. Then, the grand doors opened again. Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave breaking on marble. With that, a mysterious woman in a simpler dress entered.

Angelina Johnson has always known the value of hard work. Raised in a modest home by a father who poured everything into keeping his small business alive, she learned early on to stand on her own. But while he hoped she’d take over someday, Angelina had dreams that reached beyond their quiet life. Landing a job at Aurum Scents felt like a step in the right direction. The role wasn’t glamorous, but it came with stability, promise—and Carter Hayes. Her boss. Polished, kind, and effortlessly magnetic, he was everything she admired from afar. It started as a harmless crush, something she shared only with her best friend. A small secret that kept her heart occupied and her focus sharp. But life has a strange way of testing what you think you know. When Daniel Viggo enters her world, everything shifts. He’s nothing like Carter. In fact, he’s nothing like anyone she’s ever met. Cold, unreadable, and intimidating in every possible way, Daniel is the kind of man people talk about in hushed tones. He’s powerful, unapproachable—and for some reason, impossibly drawn to her. Wherever she turns, he’s there. Watching. Pushing. Unsettling everything she thought she had under control. As tensions rise and lines blur, Angelina finds herself caught between two forces she can’t escape. One feels like safety. The other feels like chaos. But the deeper she’s pulled in, the harder it becomes to tell the difference. Some choices are easy. Others change everything. And sometimes, the person you should stay away from is the one you can’t stop thinking about.
