#completed What Lives Beneath the Veil --- She smiles. You trust her. That is your first mistake. Your last mistake is breathing. --- THE PREMISE Every monster wears a mask. The most dangerous ones wear innocence. Princess Liora Veyne is born without a soul. No one notices. Not her family. Not her kingdom. Not the countless victims who will one day die smiling because she told them everything would be fine. She learns early: the world trusts a sweet face. So she gives them one. Eyes wide. Voice soft. Smile gentle. The perfect princess. The harmless girl. The last thing you will ever see. Behind the mask: centuries of blood. --- THE CURSE Her 101st victim does not die quietly. He dies cursing. No lover will ever satisfy you. You will crave endlessly—always hungry, never full. Every person who touches you will become your next sacrifice. The curse does not break her. It perfects her. Now she hunts differently. Not with violence. With seduction. Every willing body becomes a ritual. Every night of pleasure becomes a countdown to death. She traps them with charm, consumes them with hunger, and adds their power to her own. The craving never stops. Neither does she. --- THE CYCLE Across centuries, they come. Heroes. Warriors. Chosen ones. They gather their allies. They forge their weapons. They believe—foolishly, beautifully—that this time will be different. It is never different. She defeats them all. Not in battle. In trust. She learns their names. Their hopes. Their weaknesses. She becomes whatever they need—a friend, a lover, a savior—and destroys them when they are too broken to fight back. Their bodies fuel her immortality. Their screams become her lullaby. And the mask never slips. --- THE HORROR She watches kingdoms burn. Empires crumble. Stars die. She adapts. Evolves. Wears new faces in every era. Medieval castles. Industrial cities. Digital worlds. The future. The mask changes. The hunger does not. She is immortal. Insatiable. Unstoppable. And no one knows. Not the heroes who die trying to stop her. Not the families who weep at her "tragic" funerals. Not the world that calls her good. The veil has never lifted. It never will. --- THE TRUTH This is not a story about redemption. The villainess does not learn to love. The curse does not break. The heroes do not win. This is a story about failure. Eternal, absolute, hopeless failure. Every hero falls. Every lover dies. Every attempt to stop her makes her stronger. The cycle has no end. The hunger has no cure. The mask has no crack. She walks among you now. She smiles at you now. And you will never, ever know. --- "She has been wearing the veil for a thousand years. You will never see what lives beneath." --- End of Synopsis CONTENT WARNING: This series contains explicit sexual violence, human sacrifice, psychological torture, murder of innocent characters (including children and family members), ritualistic killing, and extreme horror.

Synopsis #R-18 (Mature Content - No Rape) "If the beast inside you could be healed, I will heal it with my love," ~~~~ "What secrets are you holding, Delilah?" The Elder prince stepped forward. "S-secrets? W-what secrets? I am not hiding anything," Delilah whispered, her heart drumming against her chest as she tried her best to hide what was going on. The man in front of her smirked before he gripped her throat and pulled her close, loving the sound of her fast-beating heart. "Is that so? Do I make you nervous?" "A little," Delilah admitted. The smirk on the prince's face widened. "Good. Only I am allowed to make you nervous, just like only you are allowed to touch and have this kind of effect on me," The prince rubbed her lips with his thumb before leaning closer, their breaths coming sharp as he gazed into her eyes. "The moment you allow another man to make you feel anything, he will end up dead, and you, you my sweetheart will end up naked under me while I punish you for even looking at others," Zephyr whispered before he crashed his lips on hers, undressing her gently. ~~~~~~ On the mission to find the hidden secrets of the most powerful ancient wolves, Katherine Moon, the leader of the special task force, found herself in a fatal situation. Betrayed by her own organization, she closed her eyes with just one wish, the wish to find out why they betrayed her as she took her last breath. Bestowed by mercy from the heavens, Katherine finds herself reincarnated in the body of a petite girl, Delilah Rosewood. Delilah Rosewood, who had entered the royal palace as the cousin of the Alpha's daughter, committed suicide after being rejected by the commander of the royal army. Katherine had never thought she would get the chance to get her answers in this lifetime, but now that life has given her this opportunity, she must secure it. However, there were some problems with her plans. "Well, I am the problem that will lead you to a better life!" Her system shouted. First, she got a system to monitor her life. Task#12- Prepare a sweet dish for the prince. Reward#- 10 points in strength. Second, the system wanted her to seduce the future alpha king if she wanted to make this body stronger. If being reincarnated in a weak body wasn't enough, the body didn't even have a wolf. "Aaaaaa! Fuck my life!" Katherine groaned. "This isn't your life. You must help Delilah reach her destiny," the system's voice came again, making her groan. "If you want to become stronger, you must seduce the future alpha king," The system said again. What Katherine didn't know was that the man in the hidden palace already had his eyes on her. "Sir, is that lady the only one you can touch?" His subordinate asked. Zephyr's eyes shone brightly. "Yes, and I want that girl to be mine," Zephyr said. "But sir, it looks like after being rejected by the commander, she has made your brother her next target," Jacob whispered. "It's a statement, Jacob. That girl is mine. Full stop." Zephyr licked his lower lip as he looked at the girl dancing on the ground after eating a freshly picked cherry Katherine, unaware of the elder prince's intentions, gets ready to bear it all and live her new life with new tasks, but what happens when she finds out the system she was living with was fake? A fake system? It's bearable… Right? But what about the powers who have started to go haywire inside her? And why do Gypsies keep visiting her in both her lives? Just who was this Delilah Rosewood? Disclaimer- There might be scenes with high violence, stalking, dark romance, goth, gore, blood, details graphic visuals of deaths and murders. The first 50 chapters might look a bit dull because of world-building, but if you decide to stay after that, I promise to make this journey worthwhile. ~~~~~~ You can follow me on Instagram - @angelinabhardawaj Or join my discord (Link only given in DM)

Warnung: Dieses Buch enthält eine große Anzahl sehr heißer Szenen für Erwachsene!(18+ NUR) *BITTE NICHT LESEN, WENN DU EMPFINDLICH AUF INTENSIVE INTIME SZENEN REAGIERST* "Sag, dass du uns gehörst." Nicholas' Hand schloss sich fester um meinen Hals ... nicht würgend, nur haltend, um mich daran zu erinnern, wem jeder meiner Atemzüge gehörte. Seine silbernen Augen brannten sich unerbittlich und fordernd in meine. "Sag es, Lilith." "Ich gehöre euch", flüsterte ich, und die Worte schmeckten zugleich nach Hingabe und Erlösung. "Lauter." Sebastians Stimme war dunkle Seide hinter mir, sein massiger Körper an meinen Rücken gepresst, seine Hände hinterließen Abdrücke auf meinen Hüften. "Wir wollen dich schreien hören." Bevor ich antworten konnte, stieß Lucian von hinten in mich und füllte mich so vollständig aus, dass ich Sterne sah. Die Dehnung, die Fülle, das überwältigende Gefühl, in Besitz genommen zu werden ... es raubte mir jeden Gedanken. "Ich bin ...", versuchte ich zu sprechen, aber dann hob Nicholas mein Bein an, brachte sich in Position, und plötzlich drang er von vorne in mich ein, und ich wurde von beiden gleichzeitig genommen. Zu viel. Zu ausgefüllt. Zu intensiv. "Atme", befahl Nicholas an meinen Lippen, aber Atmen war unmöglich, als sie sich beide bewegten und einen Rhythmus fanden, der mich heftig zwischen ihnen zittern ließ. "Ich gehöre euch!" Das Geständnis riss endlich aus meiner Kehle, als Lucians Mund die empfindliche Stelle an meinem Hals fand, seine Zähne darüber schabten und drohten, mich dauerhaft zu zeichnen. "Ich gehöre euch, ich gehöre euch, ich gehöre euch ..." "Braves Mädchen", knurrten alle drei unisono. "Jetzt beweis es." Lilith Thorne geht unter. Ihr Vater ... der Beta des Schattenmoor-Rudels ... wurde vor sechs Monaten ermordet. Ihre Mutter hat eine Überdosis Eisenhut genommen und liegt im Koma. Ihr Freund hat seinen wahren Gefährten gefunden und sie wie Müll weggeworfen. Und sie ist wolfslos ... eine Ausgestoßene in der Wolfsgesellschaft, unfähig sich zu wandeln, wertlos und unsichtbar. Angesichts der drohenden Zwangsräumung und der erdrückenden Krankenhausrechnungen trifft Lilith eine verzweifelte Entscheidung: Sie nimmt am Ritus teil, einem uralten Ritual, bei dem unverpaarte Alphas für eine Nacht Frauen gegen Gold beanspruchen können. Aber sie wird nicht mit irgendwelchen Alphas gepaart. Sie wird von Lucian, Nicholas und Sebastian Blackwood auserwählt ... den Verfluchten Alpha-Königen. Drillinge, die von der Mondgöttin verflucht wurden, ihren wahren Gefährten zu finden, bevor sie 26 werden, oder sich für immer an ihre Wölfe zu verlieren. Ihnen bleiben noch drei Monate. Was als eine Transaktion beginnt, wird zu einer Obsession. In dem Moment, in dem sie sie berühren, legt sich ihr Fluch. Ihre Wölfe erkennen etwas in ihr. Und sie können sie nicht gehen lassen. Aber Lilith ist nicht die, die sie zu sein scheint. Sie ist die letzte Tochter der mächtigsten Hexenblutlinie, die es gibt, ihre Magie wurde seit ihrer Geburt unterdrückt. Und wenn diese Magie erwacht, wird es alles verändern. Als sie endlich die Wahrheit erfährt ... dass das Brechen ihres Fluchs bedeutet, ihn auf sich zu nehmen ... trifft Lilith eine Entscheidung, die alles verändern wird. Sie opfert sich, um sie zu retten, und stirbt in ihren Armen, während sie ihren Namen schreien. Aber der Tod ist nicht das Ende. Er ist erst der Anfang. Und wenn sie aus der Asche aufersteht, vom Tod gezeichnet und mit Kräften, die sie sich nie hätte vorstellen können, wird sie nicht mehr das gebrochene Mädchen sein, das in den Ritus gegangen ist. Sie wird etwas weitaus Gefährlicheres sein. Ihre Gefährtin. Ihre Königin. Ihre Erlösung. Oder ihre Zerstörung. Teil 1: DIE INBESITZNAHME Wie tief würdest du für drei Könige fallen, die dich wie eine Religion verehren und dich wie eine Eroberung beanspruchen? Teil 2: DIE AUFERSTEHUNG Wie dunkel würdest du werden, um zurückzuerobern, was der Tod dir gestohlen hat? Das Paarungsritual ist eine dunkle paranormale Romanze mit besitzergreifenden Alphas, intensivem sexuellen Inhalt, einer starken, aber gebrochenen Heldin, die ihre Macht entdeckt, gefundener Familie, schicksalhaften Gefährten und einer Liebe, die so verzehrend ist, dass sie den Tod selbst überwindet.
