testing the claw marks

After five years, Ning Xi returned to the place that had pushed her away — home. With a sister who turned her parents against her and made her childhood sweetheart betray her, the odds seemed grey. However, five years abroad had changed her, and she came home to fulfil her childhood dream of becoming an actress. Despite her evil sister still out to get her, tables will be turned. One day, after falling into one of her sister's schemes, she saves an adorable kid and found herself staying at his house to help him come out of his shell. Slowly, his father Lu Tingxiao began falling for her. This was before they realised how their lives had been intertwined all this while without their knowledge.

Nach fünf Jahren kehrte Ning Xi an den Ort zurück, der sie weggestoßen hatte - nach Hause. Mit einer Schwester, die ihre Eltern gegen sie aufbrachte und ihre Jugendliebe dazu brachte, sie zu betrügen, schienen die Chancen schlecht zu stehen. Doch fünf Jahre im Ausland hatten sie verändert, und sie kam nach Hause, um sich ihren Kindheitstraum zu erfüllen: Schauspielerin zu werden. Obwohl ihre böse Schwester immer noch hinter ihr her ist, wird sich der Spieß umdrehen. Eines Tages, nachdem sie auf einen Plan ihrer Schwester hereingefallen ist, rettet sie einen reizenden Jungen und wohnt bei ihm zu Hause, um ihm zu helfen, aus seinem Schneckenhaus herauszukommen. Langsam begann sein Vater Lu Tingxiao, sich in sie zu verlieben. Das war, bevor sie merkten, wie ihre Leben die ganze Zeit über ohne ihr Wissen miteinander verflochten waren.

Set 30 years before the start of Legacy. A dungeon break led to a monster horde taking everything away from Lyon. Revenge can’t bring back the dead, nor is the pursuit of power an easy path to take. However, one thing holds true: no matter how he is tested, he will move forward.

At Whitmore Academy for the Supernaturally Gifted, power is everything and perfection is expected. Carly McPherson has spent years building her reputation as the strongest witch in school, the leader of her coven, and the girl who never fails. As a Blackriver cheerleader with a legacy to uphold, she is used to being in control. But senior year is unraveling faster than she can hold it together. Between planning the most important Homecoming in school history, surviving brutal magical expectations, and keeping her image flawless, the pressure is cracking through. Then there are the boys. One is darkness wrapped in a letterman jacket, with amber eyes that see too much and secrets that refuse to stay buried. The other is fire and chaos, all sharp smiles and leather, pulling Carly toward something reckless and dangerous. Both threaten the careful balance she has built, and neither is willing to let her walk away untouched. As rival factions stir, hidden magic surfaces, and loyalties begin to fracture, Carly finds herself caught in something far bigger than school drama. Power comes with a cost, and the deeper she falls into secrets, desire, and betrayal, the harder it becomes to tell who she can trust. In a world where witches, wolves, and vampires collide, one wrong move could destroy everything. And Carly is running out of time to keep it all from burning.

But being attracted to someone who doesn’t seem to trust him, much less like him, brings back painful reminders of his past.<br><br>Rene has plenty of his own baggage, and having to shadow a human -- who happens to be a doctor -- isn’t helping. Evan challenges all Rene’s carefully crafted defenses and makes him dream of a life out of the shadows. If they can survive all the obstacles while uncovering the truth, they might just discover they aren’t so different after all.

After his reincarnation into a world that blends reality with video game elements, Alex, a former recluse, uncovers a troubling aspect of his new world: slavery is permitted. Despite his ethical reservations, he is enthralled by the chance to finally end his years of quiet, lonely suffering when he meets the beautiful and powerful slave girl named Yua. And it just so happens that she’s up for sale. Giving into temptation, Alex spends nearly all the gold he has to his name to acquire her, he realizes just how disastrous his hasty decision truly was, and not merely due to his own troubled conscience. Now, Alex is compelled to exhaust himself fighting in the dungeons beneath the Great City of Amoranth to earn more gold and to secure Yua's safety, as her former master has threatened her life (and Alex’s) should he fail to repay the debt he incurred from her purchase. Trying to do right by her, even while dealing with her unending sass, he struggles to maintain what he now holds very dear. At the same time, Yua grapples with her perception of Alex, wondering if he embodies the same type of brutal and unforgiving master she always feared would one day claim her, even though deep down, she suspects she already knows the answer. https://twitter.com/LethalBacon115 patreon.com/LethalBacon

Fenrik lives an ordinary life in the real world—until strange incidents begin to follow him. Shadows move where they shouldn’t, people disappear without explanation, and rumors of monsters spread quietly through the city. Everything changes when Fenrik comes into contact with a mysterious weapon connected to the image of a wolf and the moon. Before he can understand what it truly is, he is dragged into a dangerous dungeon-like world where survival is the only rule. Inside this unfamiliar realm, Fenrik encounters hostile creatures, unexplained systems, and cryptic warnings about devils that cannot be fully defeated. A Sage appears only briefly, speaking in riddles—hinting at weapons, chosen individuals, and a far greater conflict Fenrik is not ready to face. After barely escaping with his life, Fenrik returns to the real world, only to realize that nothing is normal anymore. The dungeon’s influence has followed him back, and the devils are no longer hiding. By Chapter 10, Fenrik stands at the edge of two worlds— armed with power he doesn’t understand, haunted by unanswered questions, and unknowingly stepping onto a path that will change everything. Under the silent moon, the first claw has awakened.

‎"I'm not into mutts, but I must admit I'm a bit eager to see you submitting to me, Alpha," His eyes raking down his body, eyes smoldering hot. "Fuck off, Vance" **** "I do own you." Julian's teeth grazed the tendon where throat met shoulder, a delicate threat that sent lightning straight down Kristen's spine. The scrape of fangs was a promise, and Kristen's entire body answered with a surge of desperate, aching need. "The contract says so. But I'd rather hear you admit it. I'd rather hear you say you want to be owned." "Julian." The name came out wrecked, barely a whisper, more plea than word. It hung in the air like a prayer, and he felt Julian's fingers tighten on his hip in response. "Say it." Kristen is a proud, golden-eyed werewolf destined to lead the city's last remaining pack. But when a desperate political alliance forces him into an arranged marriage with their sworn enemy—the arrogant son of the vampire clan—his Alpha pride is pushed to the absolute limit. Worse?

Locked in a mansion with a devastatingly handsome bloodsucker who knows exactly how to push his buttons, Kristen enters a dangerous war of fangs against claws. He vowed never to bow down, but his new husband is determined to make him submit. Twice Bitten...fuck, I'd bite you back!
