In a world where Alphas rule and Omegas are reduced to something fragile, obedient, and expendable, Salvar once tried to be the exception. He failed. Betrayed by the friends he trusted, discarded by the one he loved, and handed over to his enemies under false accusations, Salvar’s defiance ended not in glory but in chains, in silence, and finally, in death. In the cold of a cell, all alone and long forgotten by the world. But death was not the end. Given a second chance, Salvar abandons the foolish pride that once destroyed him. This time, he does not seek to prove that Omegas are strong. He proves something far more dangerous. That weakness, when understood, can be weaponized. With a smile that disarms and a vulnerability that invites trust, Salvar moves through the same world that once crushed him but now, he plays by his own rules. Every glance, every touch, every word becomes a calculated move in a quiet game of revenge. Because this time, he is not the one being used. He is the one pulling the strings. And when the past begins to resurface, along with those who once ruined him, Salvar is ready. Not to survive. But to make them fall. But life is not done with him yet. Because his enemy returns too, reborn into the same world, walking the same stage. And it being non other than Silas make it worse. The one person Salvar cannot read. The one presence that refuses to be played. And for the first time, the game does not move as he wills it. So Salvar steps closer, smiling and turns the game into something far more dangerous than revenge. Something that looks like love.

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] Penelope Anderson, long past the age society deems “marriageable” and burdened by rumor, devotes herself to securing a perfect match for her younger sister after experiencing an unsuccessful courtship. Everything proceeds as planned until Lord Anthony Ravenport, a notorious rake she once met under scandalous circumstances, becomes her sister’s most promising suitor. Though Penelope knows he is dangerously unsuitable, his status makes him impossible to refuse. As tensions rise, so does an undeniable attraction between Penelope and Anthony, one that threatens to ruin not only her sister’s future, but the fragile reputation of their entire family. *** “Why do you despise me so much that you consider everything I do unworthy of your blessings!” he demanded, eyes bright with frustration and restrained fury. “Because you are unworthy of one!” she yelled back, her gaze holding the same frustration as his. “You’re unworthy to be a husband, unworthy of my sister, unworthy of love, unworthy of everything! Your presence is only making things worse for Franseca,” “And your presence isn’t?!” he spat back, his composure gradually dwindling as seconds passed. “Just because you think you’re better off unmarried doesn’t make her one. She shows interest in me as much as I do her!” “Oh, is that so?” She countered, mockery and disbelief laced in her tone. “I know men like you. And men like you thrive on pity and selfishness, believing women to be nothing else but breeders and assets! How dare you speak of interest when all you think of is what benefit my sister possesses!” “I know women like you,” he retorted, keeping his voice likewise. “Women whose conclusions are based on personal grudges. Women who are blinded by rage, envy, and jealousy, disguised under safety. Women whose hearts are hardened by grief and sorrow, and all they can think of is affecting other people’s lives!” “How dare you,” Penelope seethed, expression cold in fury and her gaze heated in cold rage. No one has ever talked to her the way he did, and it annoyed her to such an extent that she could barely recognize herself anymore. “Oh, are you pained?” he demanded, mockery plastered in his expression. They were so close, so improperly close that breath fanned against each other, eyes brightened in rage, chest rising and falling from such pressure. “You are… insufferable!” She spat. “And you’re… aggravating!” he returned, hot breath matching hers, as their chest rose and fell in exasperation. For a moment, the world revolved around heated glares and venomous expressions. Finally, those pair of grey eyes left the storm of dark-brown ones, descending on her lips that were only an inch away. Sensing his diverted attention, her breath stuttered in response, eyes descending against those inviting red lips. Her heart raced wildly, breath puffing furiously as she swallowed the lump down her throat, unconsciously wetting her lips. “S-Stay away… from my sister,” She said, words barely above a whisper. Her heart raced, echoing in her ears, causing her to feel dizzy. His eyes darkened. “You’ll be the end of me,” he whispered back, almost like a plea. And in the blink of an eye, his lips crashed against hers. *** PS: BASED ON HISTORICAL SETTINGS AND TIMELINE. #Slowburnromance #enemiestolovers A/N: There will be slow updates for now, until I conclude “Surrendered To The Lord Of Sin”.

In a world ruled by Seven Elements, balance comes at a cruel price: one soul must die again and again. Xanthe Aurelisse has lived many lives—but remembers none of them. Born seemingly ordinary, she is haunted by dreams of starlight, death, and a man standing in the dark, calling her name like both a promise and a curse. That man is Sailor Noctyrr Valecrest—an immortal bound to the Void, feared as the gods’ enforcer. For centuries, he has watched Xanthe reincarnate, love, and die… all to sustain a world that feeds on her sacrifice. Xanthe is the Star Soul, bearer of Aether, the origin of all elements. Her rebirth stabilizes magic. Her death renews it. And Sailor—who once defied the gods to save her—was cursed with immortality so he would remember every lifetime she forgot. When fate pulls them together once more, Xanthe’s awakening disrupts the elements themselves. Fire rages, seas rebel, and the gods grow afraid—for when Aether and Void resonate, even divinity can fall. As fragments of her past lives surface and forbidden love blooms again, Xanthe must choose: continue the cycle and save the world, or break it—and doom the elements forever. Because this time, she remembers one thing clearly: She has always loved him. And he has always waited.

"Stop." His voice is low and controlled and furious underneath both. "Whatever you're doing in there the books, the reading, the tucking in — stop." "They asked me to read to them," I say evenly. "I don't care what they asked." He takes a step toward me and I hold my ground, which seems to make it worse. "You've been here for just less than two weeks, and you're already in Dorian's room, touching his things, letting them climb all over you like you're" He stops, jaw tight. "You're not their mother. You're on a twelve-month contract." "I'm aware of what I am," I say. "Are you?" Something sharp enters his expression. "Because from where I'm standing it looks like a woman playing a very long game. Soften up the children, charm the staff, make yourself indispensable — and then what? You think I don't see it?" Something cold moves through my chest, but I keep my face neutral. "You think I'm doing this to get to you." "Aren't you?" He says it like it's obvious, like I'm naive for pretending otherwise, and the contempt in it is so clean and practiced that for one second I almost believe I deserve it. "You should wake up from that delusion. Whatever you think you're building here — it won't work, you will never have me." He moves before I register it, closing the distance between us in one smooth step, and then his hand is at my neck, warm and deliberate, his thumb pressing lightly against my pulse like he's checking whether I'm afraid, and the answer my body gives him is humiliating. His mouth drops to the curve of my neck and shoulder, not rough — slow, purposeful, his lips dragging against my skin like he has all the time in the world and knows exactly what he's doing with it, and I shudder despite everything I know about this man and this moment and exactly what he's trying to prove. "This," he murmurs against my skin, his voice low and terrible and close, "is all you'll ever get from me." ********* Sloane Carter had her work stolen, her body broken, and her heart shattered in pieces. Then a truck ran her off the road on a rainy night, and she woke up inside the worst romance novel she had ever read. Wrong century, wrong country. Wrong body. Twelve-month contract marriage to a man carved from ice, three feral six-year-olds, and a dead man's secret buried so deep the whole empire is rotting from the root. In the novel, the heroine smiles gently, loves quietly, and dies before anyone notices she was worth saving. Sloane has bruised ribs, a stolen career, years of swallowed rage and absolutely no intention of following the original script. The cold CEO didn't bargain for a woman who'd already survived the worst he could ever be. Neither did the man who put her in that car. He thought killing Sloane Carter would silence her. He had no idea it would set her free.
