sandalwood scent thick with arousal

In the twenty-seventh year of Hong Guang, the allied forces of seven nations invaded the Great Blue Dynasty. Rifled muskets, mortars, and armored vehicles combined into a steel tide, were ultimately shattered by the Great Blue's armored cavalry. Muscle, magic, firearms, cannons... the new and the old powers continuously collided. In an era of great strife, Li Fei, with the help of a Ten Thousand Blood Bead, gradually became an existence akin to a BOSS: 'Is this the extent of your damage? You haven't even taken off one-thousandth of my health.' 'You don't think this is enough to kill me, do you?' 'Don't rush, the second phase is up next!' ......

[COMPLETED] "Meow~ Meow~" The orange tabby cat sneaked out of the house, bringing back with it a little girl to resurrect the faint link between two people who had just crossed paths together once. Three years ago, Kato Himari was forced to end her first love in order to cherish herself more. In the early moments she faced her own heartbreak, she met him in a series of strange events. At the same time, Hayashi Kazuya was compelled to assume a crucial role after tragic events kept on befalling his loved ones. There were things he had to let go of and there were things he had to hold on to. Unknown to them, a funny companionship of a cat and a little dumpling led them to meet again. Would their encounter give them second chances of gaining more hopes in the face of the future? Would the reappearance of Himari's first love break the ties of their Fate? And, what was the secret that Himari concealed even from her loved ones? "Uncle, when would you give me an auntie?" "Uncle, why don't you marry Teacher Kato home?" "Teacher Kato, do you find my uncle handsome?" Both of them exchanged glances before they hurriedly looked away with the tips of their ears reddened. The little girl grinned and gave thumbs up to the orange tabby cat next to her before she looked at her back. "Big Brother, look! I've found us an auntie!" "Meow~ Meow~" The orange tabby cat happily agreed to the little girl's words. --------------------------------------------------------------- Commissioned cover by yuuri_e (Instagram).

In the powerful empire of Orendalia, Kael, a dominant alpha prince, had everything that anyone could want; a dominant gene, the king’s favour, and extreme wealth. He spent his entire life embodying perfection: an Alpha heir raised to inherit the throne, feared for his dominance, and respected for his control. But his world shatters when he is told the impossible... He is pregnant!!! 'How can that be, I am an alpha!' With no explanation and no memory to justify it, Kael is forced into a truth that threatens not only his claim to the throne but his very identity. In a court where weakness is hunted and secrets are weapons, even a whisper of his condition would mean ruin. He goes to great lengths to hide his pregnancy as he investigates the mysteries around him. As his body begins to change, Kael is pushed to a corner. But when he tracks the father down to the king of the neighbouring kingdom, Alek Falanae, the twisted humour that's his new reality becomes even more dangerously complicated. Will Prince Kael manage to navigate these new waters and find solid ground again or not?

Some memories don’t leave us. They just sit quietly in one corner of the heart, waiting- for a smell, a voice, a place- to wake them up again. The Scent of Our Yesterday started as a simple village-to-city love story: two kids, a childhood bond, a breakup of distance, a reunion in a busy modern world. As I kept writing, Ha-rin and Jae-hyun refused to stay “simple”. Their love kept circling back like time itself… so the story also grew into something bigger. This series is about: childhood innocence in a small village, college fights and ego, corporate politics and pressure, misunderstandings, second chances, and one love that keeps coming back, even when time, destiny, and people try to break it. Later, you’ll also see a touch of mystery and time—loops, echoes, fragments of “what if we had chosen differently?”. But at its heart, it is still the same: one boy, one girl, one long journey of growing up, getting hurt, healing, and finding their way back to each other without losing themselves. I wanted the story to feel close to us- emotional, little funny, a bit dramatic, but always honest. If while reading, you remember your first crush, your campus days, your family, your old village, or that one person who still feels like “home” somewhere in your heart- that is enough for me. Thank you for staying with Ha-rin and Jae-hyun… through their yesterdays, echoes, and tomorrows. -- qwrhsth4

In a world ruled by alphas, obedience is survival and omegas are never meant to stand beside kings. Kendrick Walker has been raised to be perfect. As the heir to Walker Corporation, one of the most powerful empires in the country, every step of his life has already been planned. His future includes wealth, influence, and a strategic marriage to Alehandra Peters, the brilliant alpha heiress whose family stands beside his in the hierarchy of power. There is only one rule Kendrick has never questioned: alphas rule, and omegas submit. Then he meets Damian Roberts. Damian is a male omega, rare, stubborn, and dangerously unwilling to accept the place society has assigned to him. He has spent his entire life avoiding the attention of powerful alphas who see omegas as little more than tools for alliances and bloodlines. But the moment Kendrick catches Damian’s scent, everything changes. Because Damian isn’t just another omega. He’s Kendrick’s fated mate. A bond like theirs is more than forbidden……..it’s explosive. Claiming Damian would destroy Kendrick’s carefully constructed future, shatter his engagement, and ignite a scandal capable of bringing down the Walker empire. And Alehandra Peters, the woman destined to stand beside Kendrick, will not allow an omega to take what she believes is hers. As whispers spread through elite society and enemies begin to close in, Kendrick and Damian are forced to confront a dangerous truth: their bond is no longer just a secret romance. It’s a rebellion. And in a world built on dominance and submission, loving the wrong person might be the most dangerous act of all. But some scents are impossible to ignore. And some rebellions cannot be contained.

Wanting to change the monotony and emptiness of his lonesome existence while aspiring for the most precious thing that he has longed for, he embarks on a journey of perversion and personal debauchery. He struggled to hold back his emotions; to nip his impulse; to block his craving. Ultimately the pressure was too much for him to bear.

Finn has spent his whole life hiding. His scent is so faint that most people assume he's a Beta — and he prefers it that way. Being invisible means being safe. It means no Alpha ever looks twice at him. Then Jude moves in upstairs. Jude is an Alpha — quiet, steady, and impossibly tall. His scent of cedar and cold air fills the hallway like a promise. He keeps finding excuses to be near Finn. A locked door. A forgotten key. A sudden rainstorm. Finn doesn't understand why Jude keeps showing up. He doesn't understand why his own hidden scent keeps reaching for the Alpha — like it knows something Finn doesn't. Then Jude says what no one has ever said before: "Your scent isn't faint. It's hidden." And suddenly, Finn isn't sure if he wants to hide anymore.
