"Aversion to cold, fever, obvious tenderness with rebound pain in the entire abdomen, positive psoas sign..." [Intestinal abscess, how unlucky this guy is. Use downward-draining method to relieve, attack and expel, moisten and unblock to guide the stool and eliminate stagnation to cleanse substantial heat, this illness... rhubarb, mirabilite... it's up to you.]

They say the body has memory. I didn’t believe that until I started waking up soaked in sweat and c*m, my heart racing, my fingers trembling, my lips parted as if I’d been whispering his name in sleep. But I never even knew his real name. I remember his voice though, how it curled around me like smoke, soft and deep, commanding yet kind, dark and dangerous. He never touched me. Never laid a hand on me. But I came so hard, I cried. Now, every night, I crave it. That voice. That whisper that made my knees weak. That sin I never thought I’d want. I thought I was straight. Now, I’m not even sure I’m sane. And I think I’d ruin myself just to hear it again. For 25 years, Zayn lived in a world of straight expectations, dating girls, chasing pleasure that always ended in silence and frustration. Sex was a routine, not release. Until one bored night, chasing a thrill, he said yes to something different. A man in a club offered him more than money, he offered a secret, a night of satisfaction like he’d never known. But when Zayn entered that hotel room, he didn’t expect him, the rich, cold, dangerously alluring heir of a conservative empire, whose father publicly condemns everything he hides in the dark. What started as a one-night experiment turned into a dangerous addiction. Without a single touch, Zayn was broken open, undone, and made to scream, cry, and beg, only through sound. Now, even back home, Zayn trembles when he hears his voice in dreams, in memory, in madness. His sheets are always wet. His nights are restless. His body wants more. And the worst part? He's starting to want him, too. 18+ WARNING This story contains explicit male-male content, intense erotic scenes, and psychological seduction.

(R-18 and dark themes, you have been warned.) Blurb: During my incarceration by my mate, I see a man leaning against the wall of the dungeon with his arms and legs coiled with heavy iron chains. Dressed only in tattered rags of a black robe his ghostly white skin is mostly on display. Tattoos like smoke crawl all the way from his neck to the side of his handsome and deeply chiselled face, but it's the eyes that have me in a trance. Deep red like the freshly spilt blood, such rich shade, and they stare directly at me with such intensity that I forget to breathe. My hand grabs the iron bar, and I steady myself as his curved lips move and he utters only one word to make my world crash and my magic lose control. “Mate!” My world shatters at his words. "You can see me?” He asks next, a voice calmer and yet deeper than Mariana Trench. It whispers all around me, murmuring against my skin as if trying to awaken something sleeping. “Yes, why shouldn't I be able to?” I question, slightly confused. A crease descends on my forehead. "No one else can," he answers with a wounded smile that wrecks my heart.

As it turns out, Amaia is mated to hybrid Alphas of Orion, but none of them can feel the mate bond, and they believe she wants to seduce them. “Have some dignity, Amaia. You abandoned your mate and are now trying your seduction techniques on me. I have a fiancée.” Glares Alnilam, her first mate. “Don't look at me like that, lassie. I am saving myself for my mate.” Winks Alnitak, her second mate. “Stay away from me. You are not my mate,” scolds Mintaka, her third mate. “I will bring a garland constructed from your ex-mate's bones. How dare he hurt you?” Determination flashes in the eyes of Rigel, her fourth mate.

THE UNBROKEN Gothic Romance • Spiritual Rebellion • Fantasy Horror VOLUME 1: Elena Rosaria was born in chains. Branded by the Church of Saintess Yidali, betrayed by her own blood, and forced to survive in the shadows of an empire that hunts her kind. But then her life collides with Viscount Seamus Matteo- a brooding heir with a taste for danger and a heart drawn to her fire. Their connection sparks a forbidden passion that defies the Church’s rule. As war brews between the old faith and a rising resistance, Elena must reckon with a violent past, prophetic visions, and the price of power. Seamus would burn the world to protect her. But it is Niegal Matteo, his exiled uncle and a gifted healer, who may hold the key to not only Elena’s survival, but the fate of magic itself. In a land of holy inquisitions, blood-bound magic, and saints who are not what they seem, three haunted souls must choose: surrender to the roles they were born into… or become something unbroken. VOLUME 2: Elena and Niegal Matteo were more than happy to live in the bayous of Marisiana as political heads of the Resistance against the Church of Saintess Yidali. With the full backing of the United Territories and the Coabey Coalition, they planned on raising their beloved daughter, Esperanza, to practice her mother’s storm magic as a divine child of the Storm and Lion. But when trouble finds them from across the sea, in the ancestral lands of the Matteo’s, Veracchia, Elena and Niegal must race against time, and the Church, to save their family from a fate worse then death. Can love survive the aftermath of war? Can they survive the truth of the Matteo bloodline, even if it costs them everything? VOLUME 3: Years after the events of Volume 2, the vessels of Guabancex and El León Negro reckon with the death of the Behike. Niegal faces increasingly disturbing visions and a god who grows more restless and wrathful by the day, and Elena contends with the public increasingly demanding the goddess within to become something she could never be. When a mysterious stranger arrives and triggers something dangerous in Esperanza, the family must travel to rescue her from the clutches of a dangerous cult who wants nothing more than to make the divine child their Queen. Elena and Niegal face their greatest challenge yet. His wrath pushes her away, and the kindness of a stranger saved by the compulsion of Guabancex makes Elena question everything they’ve built. Can love survive divine wrath and destiny? For a family of magic and fate, nothing could ever come easy.

Su Mo transmigrated into a Beast World novel as a delicate cannon fodder female, starting right in the middle of a forced, melodramatic scene. What's more embarrassing is that she was caught in the act... Her fiancé, the Young Master Snake, regarded her with utter disgust: "Don't think you can have me by using such despicable tricks! I want to break off the engagement!" Su Mo assessed the situation, feigning a tearful apology to try and save the situation, while inwardly cringing and complaining.

And Cang Lan, that black panther, is just a cold-blooded killer. I want to swap them out! Right now!] [Huh? That dragon over there isn't bad. He has abs and good looks~ Most importantly, he's brainless and easy to fool~ Target locked!] The group of fiancé Beast Husbands watching from the side exclaimed in unison: "Don't even think about it!" Su Mo: "..." Are they crazy? They despise her to death, yet they're unwilling to break off the engagement? And now they're all sticking to me like superglue. What's the big idea?!
