cursed by the shadowborn princes

The Night Oracle never lies— so when she declared that the Shadowborn Princes were destined for me, the entire kingdom fell silent. Because destiny was never supposed to choose me. Not when my sister Seraphine exists. Seraphine, the golden daughter of the realm. Seraphine, the blessed one everyone adored. Seraphine, who hid a wicked tongue behind her perfect smile. And me? Lyria, the overlooked sister. The mistake. The girl born with a cracked spirit mark and eyes that frightened even the priests. The three Shadowborn Princes— Raven, Draven and Malek— despise my very existence. I feel it every time their shadows brush against my skin, every time the bond pulls tight and forces us into the same space. They hate me. They want me. And they can’t decide which urge is stronger. I should run. I tried to run. But the bond is a chain made of fate and fire, dragging me back into their dangerous world of shadow-magic, forbidden heat and suffocating desire. And when the truth about Seraphine comes out— the lies, the manipulation, the spell she placed on them— everything changes. The princes who once hated me now crave me desperately, violently, obsessively. But they’re too late. Because I’m no longer the soft girl they ignored. I’ve been shattered and rebuilt by the same hands that pushed me into the darkness. Now that I’ve risen, I won’t be their puppet. I won’t be anyone’s pawn. ~*~ “We chose you, Lyria… we always did.” Malek’s voice trembled, his hand ghosting up my thigh as if he feared I’d vanish. “We were blind. We let her twist us. We let her twist you. Let us make it right.” Raven’s lips touched the shell of my ear, slow and sinful. Draven’s fingers slipped under my shirt, grazing my skin like he owned it. My breath hitched— but my heart stayed frozen. My eyes dropped to Raven’s mouth. Full. Tempting. But they had kissed Seraphine. All three of them had. I don’t touch what’s already been used. “No.” My voice cut through the heat choking the air. “I’m done. Go back to Seraphine. She deserves you more than I ever did.” Raven’s growl rumbled through my spine as he pressed himself against me, dark and furious. “I’ll raze kingdoms, Lyria. I’ll tear down the Oracle’s temple stone by stone if that’s what it takes to bring you back to us.” “Do that, then,” I whispered, pushing their hands away. “Come find me after the world is ash.” I stepped off the table, leaving them stunned, breathless, burning. Their eyes followed me like shadows desperate for their master. But I didn’t look back. They created this version of me. The creature who no longer kneels.

HE Failed to Break ME Twice

Aria Venn lived a life that looked perfect from the outside. A rising designer. Married to one of the richest men in the city. Surrounded by glass buildings, quiet rooms, and expensive silence. But no one saw what happened behind closed doors. The emotional control. The slow erosion of her voice. The way love was weaponized into obedience. Until she died with his name still breaking in her chest. But death was not the end. Aria wakes up two years before everything began — back in her college dorm, younger, untouched, and painfully aware of what her future held. This time, she doesn’t want revenge. She wants freedom. In a fictional metropolis ruled by corporate dynasties and creative powerhouses, Aria tries to reshape her life. She changes her designs, her presence, her silence. She stops being the soft girl people could overlook. And that’s when he notices. Kaelen Rourke — the cold, untouchable heir of the Rourke empire — a man known for his brilliance, emotional distance, and strategic cruelty. In Aria’s first life, he shattered her confidence without ever raising his voice. He married her, not out of love, but control — a relationship that drained her until death felt like relief. But this time, when he encounters her again… something is different. Aria is no longer the girl who flinches. She looks at him like a problem to be solved, not a god to be feared. Kaelen, drawn to this strange shift, begins to observe her. What starts as curiosity turns into obsession. He doesn’t remember their past life, but he feels her distance, her fear, her quiet rage. It unsettles him. It challenges his need for control. While navigating her studies and rising recognition in the design world, Aria begins to build a new identity away from him. She earns mentorship, recognition, and slowly steps into power. But Kaelen enters her world again; this time professionally. As partners, rivals, and eventually unwilling collaborators in major architectural projects, their proximity rekindles everything Aria tried to bury. His emotional toxicity still surfaces; cutting words, possessive silences, manipulative calmness — but Aria no longer folds. Instead, she confronts him. Every time. The story deepens as Aria starts uncovering truths about their first life. Hidden decisions. Unspoken intentions. Moments Kaelen never got to explain. And Kaelen, tormented by the way she treats him like a stranger while knowing him too deeply, begins to crack. He starts changing. Not because he wants her back. But because he hates the version of himself she seems to remember.

THE PRESENCE/DONT READ IF YOUR SENSETIVE OR TOO DUMB

His name was Nathaniel Emberworth Wyndham, a simple nineteen-year-old with unruly dark hair that often fell over his deep, shadowed eyes. Of average height and quiet demeanor, he moved unnoticed through the bustling streets of the city he reluctantly called home—a world too loud for someone who preferred silence. But one day, everything changed. Nathaniel found himself in another world—Infipousdefinity Despous Ta-Neter Mundus—a place of endless mysteries, strange beings, and creatures unlike anything known to man. **The reason i created this novel** Sometimes, we find ourselves in new places—new environments, new cultures, surrounded by new people. And in those unfamiliar worlds, some will take advantage of your ignorance. They will trick you, deceive you, or try to manipulate you for their own gain. In such an environment, where there’s no one to rely on but yourself, you must observe carefully and stay cautious. Don’t give your trust easily. Learn to survive and live on your own without depending too much on others. We dream new dreams. We grow cautious because of people. We crave things like status and wealth, knowing how hard life can be without them. We miss the ones we used to laugh with, miss our families—even just a little. We feel the distance, the separation, and fear we might not overcome the challenges ahead. As our surroundings change, we experience new things. Some people abandon us, while others change on their own—maturing, evolving. Yet even as we grow, we remain the same person behind that mature facade. We stumble and cry, we feel pain and keep it buried inside. But in time, we learn to fight back, realizing that pain fades once we learn to shield and defend ourselves.

Ignited Flame

✨Ignited Flame — Season One: The Primordial Saga✨ Before the six races existed… before realms were formed… before prophecy, balance, or destiny mattered… there were only two. Genesis, the God of Creation, whose imagination shaped existence itself. Kail, the Goddess of Destruction, whose power gave purpose to everything he made. Together, out of boredom and curiosity, they formed the first universe. But in doing so, they awakened something far greater than they expected — children born not from flesh, but from concepts. Adam, a boy created from Genesis’ mind, gifted with limitless imagination. Eve, a girl born from Kail’s heart, overflowing with joy and spirit. Chrona, the sleepy goddess of time and space, who has watched everything since the moment reality began. Sora, a child formed from pure emotion, wild and unpredictable. Their family becomes the foundation of the multiverse… but from Eve’s pure love — and her innocent fear of being hurt — a final child is born: Soteria — the White Guardian. A goddess of infinite abilities, infinite purity, and infinite devotion to Eve. She is not evil. She does not hate. She does not wish to destroy. She simply wants a world where Eve never cries again — even if that means erasing all of existence to build a perfect paradise in her image. As Adam learns magic capable of shaping worlds, as Eve transforms the universe into the Candy Cosmos, as Chrona bends time while floating half-asleep, and as Sora’s emotions threaten to rewrite the laws of reality— the first family of creation faces a tragedy none of them saw coming: The universe’s greatest threat is not hatred… but love. The Primordial Saga tells the story of the first beings to ever exist, the mistakes that shaped the realms, the birth of the six races, and the war that ignited all wars. This is how everything began. This is Ignited Flame.
