apparent cruelty

"No one will want you after I'm done with you. Doesn't matter, even if you reject me. I'll always have a new mate, but no one will want the scraps left by a royal enforcer." **** When he's rejected by his first mate, only to be given an omega as a second-chance mate, Acrod's Royal Enforcer, Grant Hindley, is everything but thrilled at the decision. Especially since he refuses to get over his ex, one of the most powerful Lycans alive, so he takes out his anger and frustrations on the omega he is mated to. A part of Grant expects a rebellion, but what he gets is love from his ever-abused omega. But is it love, though, when the omega is not even an omega, but a vengeful psycho werewolf prince who loves playing mind games and despises the enforcer for his cruelty toward his people? — — — Hiding in plain sight as Nour, an omega, and against his father, the king's, wishes, free-spirited Prince Cassius only wants to have fun before ascending the throne. He doesn't want a mate, much to his father's dismay, but the king lets him be. However, a mating ceremony forces him out of his comfort zone, and into the most challenging of adventures, one that he leans into, because he wants the full experience of a mate bond. He forces himself to endure, but there is only so much that he can endure before he snaps. And when he does snap, everything is turned upside down. Heaven becomes hell in so many ways. Justice is a thing of the past as vengeance shows up in the form of the goddess's worst creation - a devil Lycan mate for the prince. A man who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty just to see a smile on the prince's face. And his first target? Royal. Enforcer. Grant. And he is determined to avenge his prince; come hell or high water. Maybe two wrongs make a right after all, no? *** // Sequel to "Alanor, The Lycan King's Prisoner." But it can be read as a standalone. * When Fire meets Fate

They called her the villainess before she ever drew a single cruel breath. Lady Seraphine Valcourt was born with a prophecy nailed to her cradle: She will destroy the kingdom's heart. In the original story—the one the bards sing, the one the nobles quote like scripture—she poisons the heroine, betrays the prince, and dies screaming beneath a collapsed chandelier, unmourned. There's just one problem. Seraphine remembers none of it. Not yet. Because the story hasn't happened. And she refuses to become its punchline. When she discovers that her every "evil" act was pre-written by a council of dying sorcerer-historians who need a scapegoat to stabilize the realm's timeline, Seraphine makes a choice that breaks the script: she steals the one thing the prophecy never accounted for—the love of the man destined to kill her. Ren Ashworth, the royal spymaster. Cold. Untouchable. And in the original tale, the silent executioner who delivers Seraphine to her doom. But in this version? He finds the trembling girl behind the diamond mask. And he begins to ask a dangerous question: What if the villainess is just the woman who refused to lie down? Together, they embark on a war not against heroes or heroines—but against fate itself. Every twist uncovers a new betrayal. Every cliffhanger reveals that the "heroine" may be a willing puppet. And every kiss between Seraphine and Ren rewrites another page of the damned original story. But the sorcerer-historians are watching. And they have a final, brutal rule: If the villainess will not play her part… the world will force her.

The Cruelty of Human Humans are complex beings. Love of mother, hope in dark, or joy on faces—they express and experience many emotions. But throughout history, their emotions change, or rather, they develop. Humans, known for kindness and love, develop something horrifying within them. Some say this terrifying thing has always existed alongside humans; some say it's bound to happen. Whatever the case, it spreads fast in humans, almost instantly. This is... HATE.
