Beth has memories that she isn’t sure belong to her. By day, she lives the perfect, picturesque life managing her little slice of paradise, the White Moon Café. Helping her manage her business is a band of rag-tag individuals, all with their own unique stories. None of them are blood-related to Beth, but she considers them all family. Things aren’t all sunshine and puppies for Beth in Crest Town, however. At night, she’s haunted by dreams that suggest she’s cut from another life—one filled with ancient secrets, forgotten places, and, most importantly, the truth about who she is. To quiet the urge to find answers, which grows hungrier by the day, Beth ventures out on long pilgrimages, all while balancing the need for ‘Vitality’—a potion she needs to ‘keep it together.’ After meeting a very bizarre, feral being on one of these outings, her life changes. The feral creature, while mysterious, appears to be friendly, and Beth returns to Crest Town with him. From there, much like the rest of her crew, he grows into being part of the family. Just when things start to feel normal, a near-death experience leaves Beth contemplating hanging up her apron for good and leaving her pieced-together family to run the café. Join Beth as we follow her journey to uncover her origins—a path paved with living legends, Geminos statues, gluttony-spawned horrors, a dog lady, and more!

Her world spirals out of control when she uncovers her fiancé's darkest secrets, forcing her to flee into the unknown. What Leia doesn't know is that her life has been far from ordinary. For years, she's been watched by powerful forces, her every move quietly orchestrated by an ancient prophecy. When a near-fatal plunge into icy waters pulls her closer to her hidden destiny. But everything comes at a cost-a revelation that binds her fate to a world she never knew existed. Leia is the destined mate of three formidable rulers from an ancient clan. Drawn into their dangerous and seductive world, she finds herself torn between passion and peril, desire and duty.

Leia, a young and vibrant twenty-year-old, had just moved to the bustling city of Seattle to live with her parents, whom she had never met until now. Born into a life of financial struggles, Leia was sent to live with her aunts at birth, while her parents worked tirelessly to make ends meet. But now, with her father's health in decline and her mother forced into prostitution to make a living, Leia found herself in a desperate situation as she came back finally after an accident with her aunt after they treated her badly. She hid her true self from the world, including her new best friend Mia, who came from a life of luxury and excess. Mia's family was everything Leia's was not - wealthy, influential, and respected. As Leia and Mia's friendship blossomed, Leia found herself torn between her loyalty to her new friend and the secrets she kept hidden. By day, she was a bright and ambitious student, but by night, she was forced to sell herself to make ends meet. The shame and frustration of her situation weighed heavily on her shoulders, and she couldn't bear the thought of Mia discovering her true reality. But fate had other plans. One fateful night, Leia found herself in the arms of a man she had never met before - Mia's father, Rael. The encounter was accidental, but the consequences would be devastating. Leia's world was turned upside down as she struggled to reconcile her feelings of guilt and shame with the secrets she kept hidden. Little did she know, her life was about to become even more complicated. Leia stood at a crossroads, torn between revealing the truth to Mia and risking their precious friendship, or continuing her secret affair with Rael, Mia's father. But when she chose to move on, her mother's venomous words cut deep, exposing the harsh realities of her life. Her mother's hatred and resentment towards her stemmed from their impoverished background and Leia's inability to provide for herself. With a newfound sense of desperation, Leia turned to Rael as a means of survival, hiding their relationship from Mia and the rest of the world. But as she became entangled in this web of secrets, she found herself falling for Mia's brother, Dale. The complication was suffocating - Leia was caught between her loyalty to Mia, her desire for Rael, and her growing feelings for Dale. As the truth threatened to surface, Leia's world began to unravel. She was trapped in a cycle of lies and deceit, with no clear escape. Her relationships with the people she cared about most were built on shaky ground, and the consequences of her actions loomed large. Would Leia find a way to break free from this toxic cycle, or would she become forever entangled in the secrets and lies that had come to define her life? Mia's eyes blazed with fury as she uncovered the truth about Leia's deceit. The betrayal cut deep, and their once-unbreakable bond was shattered into a million pieces. Mia's hurt and anger transformed her into Leia's worst enemy, and she vowed to make her pay for her treachery. In a desperate attempt to escape the chaos, Leia made a choice that would haunt her forever. She forsake Dale, the man she truly loved, and agreed to marry his father, Rael. Forsaking her friendship, she’ll do anything for money. As she stood at the altar, gazing into Rael's eyes, Leia's heart screamed in protest. She was sacrificing her true love and happiness to secure a future that felt like a prison sentence. Dale, the man she had denied, looked on in anguish, his eyes filled with tears of sorrow and betrayal. And as Leia became Mia’s step mother, it was like the two was drawn into a battle ground and even when she was offered money by Mia and Dale to leave their father. She refused since she found out that at last that she enjoyed the man’s company and wouldn’t bear the thought of leaving the man. She became the girl who sacrificed her true love for kindness and waited till the man died before building her own life with her inheritance.

Have you ever wondered, what happens when a blood thirsty psychopath wants to get a therapy session just for the sanity of a name which leaves a trail wherever he goes. And what happens when that therapist wants nothing more but for him to sink his dick deep inside her to quench that undying lust against the line of her carrier. ***** ""Say my name flower."" Hoisting her smooth legs on his waist violently thrusting into her pussy as she bites her lips holding down the huge ball of moans just to taunt the green eyed Russian. Her client. ""Never."" Saying affirmative, Rosie swears in mockery not understanding the more she dares the psycho, the more hungry he gets for her. With that, a devilish grin crosses his face looking down at her lying on the table squirming hard obviously holding herself back from giving the tattooed man thrusting hard, deep, fast and so fucking good her brains melted, lost in the expertise of him inside of her. But no, she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of her loving every thrust he gives her sopping wet pussy until he accepts he needs her just as much as she needs this psycho. Softly, he whispers sucking her earlobe that has her toe curling and her pussy dripping. ""By the end of the day I will have you moaning, begging and screaming my name flower, because you are mine. Fucking mine."

In a world shaped by gods, sins, and legends too terrifying to be spoken aloud, destiny does not choose heroes — it brands survivors. Duran is nothing more than a quiet village boy living on the fringes of Asteia, far from kings, magic academies, and the catastrophic battles that shaped history. He dreams of nothing grand — only a simple life with the people he loves. That life ends in a single night. When an unknown force annihilates his village, leaving only ash and silence behind, Now a new Duran awakens amid the ruins with a burning sigil seared into his soul — a mark older than kingdoms, older than myths. The Mark of Aleis. As the mark begins to awaken, Duran’s body struggles to contain fragments of impossible power — fire that devours existence, chaos that fractures reality, and soul-force that defies death itself. Each awakening threatens to destroy him from within. But power is never given freely. Hunted by beings who know and fear his power, pursued by cults who worship him, and watched by ancient beings who remember the last time the world burned, Duran is forced onto a journey across a continent steeped in forgotten wars and sealed horrors. Along the way he must confront: relics tied to the Seven Sins, the meaning of the strongest and the terrifying reality that his power was never meant to save the world… …but to restore its greatest destroyer.
