Chapter 1PROLOGUE

The Twilight's Chronicle is a romantic fantasy web novel that tells the story of Chrisola D'Emeralia, the Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Emeraldine, and William, her loyal knight. Together, they fight the evil unleashed by Luna D'Emeralia, Chrisola's half-sister, who seeks the throne and the absolute power that comes with it.

Out of all the web novels I've ever read, this one is my favorite. Well actually… my obsession maybe.

I've read it over and over, memorizing every line, every character, and every twist, until Chrisola and William felt like real people.

Chrisola's journey and her transformation from a weak and helpless princess into a brave and strong woman who stays true to her principles as a kind person, even when the world turns against her, truly inspired me.

Of course, that's because she is helped and accompanied by the one and only, William; the strong, super cool, romantic, and handsome knight who supports her at every step. I'm sure there's no perfect main lead as flawless as him! Their love and bond… it was everything I dreamed of.

Sigh… If only I could be like Chrisola...

But unfortunately…

"Princess Lunaaa~! Where are you?"

A sweet voice called my name—Luna. And it sent a chill down my spine.

I turned my head awkwardly and saw a maid's figure approaching, her eyes scanning the room.

Run.

The word flashed in my mind, but my body wouldn't obey.

I tried to crawl away desperately, my chubby baby hands slipping uselessly against the cold marble floor. The world felt enormous, like a cruel prison, and I couldn't control my movements at all.

Everything about this tiny body is so fucking clumsy and weak. And I hate it!

"There you are!" The maid, Anna, reached me easily and scooped me up with a soft laugh. Her arms were warm and gentle, but the feeling of being restrained made panic rise in my chest.

"Oh my God, how lively! You're not even six months old, and look how far you've crawled!"

She beamed down at me as if my helpless struggle was something adorable. I tried to scream, but it came out as nothing more than a loud wail.

"Huweeee!!"

"Shh, shh, my sweet Princess Luna. Were you scared of waking up all alone? Don't worry. I'm here now. I'll lull you back to sleep. Hush now, ooh hush, little baby… Sleep, my beautiful princess…"

That's not what I want!

I want to tell her to stop. I want to tell her that I'm not Luna, that this is all wrong. But the words won't come. My mouth forms only meaningless sounds. I'm trapped in this tiny, helpless body… in Luna's body.

My mind raced.

I can't be here. I shouldn't be here. I know what happens to Luna D'Emeralia. She's the villainess… the one who craves power and will bring suffering to everyone around her. A wicked lady who will tragically die alone, while being hated, unloved, and feared by all people in this world. I know this because I've read her story countless times.

This isn't the life I wanted. I never wanted to be the villainess. I wanted to be Chrisola, the heroine who gets to live happily ever after with her beloved knight, not Luna, the cursed half-sister who's doomed from the start.

But here I am, becoming her.

I know that dreams and reality often don't align, but the situation I'm in now is truly frustrating! Right now, the only thing I want is to leave this place or wake up from this nightmare, which, unfortunately, is the reality I'm stuck in.

Because I... I don't want to live as Luna D'Emeraliaaa!!

Reborn As Cursed Alpha's Mate

What happens when a goddess falls in love with a shifter? Asara; the goddess of love, was punished by her father, the god of thunder. Her crime being falling in love with a mortal shifter Alpha. To pay for her sins she was reborn as Cassandra LeBlanc; a mortal Princess in the magical Kingdom of Speldaria. Her family and kingdom, except her middle sister, shunned her for she was born without any magical abilities and she had no recollections of her true identity. Her betrothed, the powerful mage commander of the Speldaria, was unbothered by her. He wished for someone strong. Cassandra’s life was toppled when she was gifted a warrior slave by the mighty Alpha of Dusartine. She was asked to take part in the Yearly Arena Event by collaborating with the warrior. Cassandra who hated ‘The Arena’ with her very breath. A place where blood flowed like wine and life was cheaper than the very air they breathed didn't understand her purpose in it. On top of that, the mysterious warrior affected her in unimaginable ways. His hypnotic gaze unsettled her. His rare essence overwhelmed her. His muscular bronzed body consumed her with sinful thoughts. Even the dreams of her past life plagued her. When ‘The Arena' began the hidden agendas and underlying truths came to light and Cassandra was played a hand of fate. She was left with no choice but to give in and choose a path. The question would be. How will Cassandra grapple once she learns of the curse placed on her? Will she be able to obtain her magical abilities and stand up to her father? Who will help her along the journey? ~Excerpt~ Then she felt him, all of him. All his ruggedness. The strength of his arm. The softness of his lips. The grip of his hand. The warmth of his breath. Every muscle in her body went taut at the implications of sleeping in a man’s arms. She had never slept in a male’s embrace before. Her whole skin tingled like tiny sparks dancing on the very parts that connected with him. The crevices of her brain had these memories which weren't hers. This touch somehow didn't seem foreign to her. She felt safe in his soothing embrace and didn't wish to push him away and yet she knew this was far from appropriate. Cassandra tried to wriggle out of his hold, his arms seemed to be built from iron for they wouldn't budge. The light garment she had worn had lifted from her milky thigh baring it as his bronzed muscular one was draped on it. And now she could sense something poking her back. Her eyes suddenly expanded from the realisation and Cassandra fully panicked. “Let go!” She voiced out, heavily. Siroos slowly lifted his leg and slackened his hold on her waist so she could shuffle away. He had awakened when she had stiffened for the first time but wished to behold what she would try. With eyes blown wide she stole a glance towards the man who had her wrapped in his embrace like a precious treasure, his treasure. His molten gold eyes had flickered open and there was this softness and want with which he stared at her. Those soft brown curls cascaded over his eyes as he forgot to blink, watching the timeless beauty that she was. Her one-of-a-kind fragrance was a torture to his senses. How he wished to grab her dainty ankle, pull her from it and have her sprawled underneath him. To kiss the very skin that oozed such scent which was driving him insane. Instead, he bent his arm and placed it under his cheek using it like a pillow to watch her with desire-filled eyes. The awkward lull between them prolonged as Cassandra cleared her throat. “Did you have to climb on me to sleep?” “It wasn't intentional but was certainly enticing and definitely won't be the last time.” His deeply hypnotic voice was even more alluring this early in the morning as it resonated all around her. The book cover is mine.

Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by his Brother

[TRIGGER WARNING: Mature Content + Dark Themes] EXCERPT: “Axel, no. We… can’t do this!” I jolted back when he pulled up my skirt. As if to retaliate, he grabbed my wrist and yanked my body to his. “We can do whatever I say we can do, María José.” “I’m your brother’s reject. Do you even hear yourself right now? He didn’t want me, Axel. What does that make me to you?” “I don’t care about Álvaro’s foolishness. It's his loss for losing a woman like you.” “Okay, I must confess. I'm not worried about him either. It's Rosa… you're getting engaged to my sister in a month!” “Let me remind you, María José—I don’t give a fuck about that, either.” No matter how hard I jerked, he wasn’t letting me go. And part of me—so, so foolishly—didn’t want him to. ______ Having spent her life avoiding the spotlight, María Jośe never imagined she’d be the one to bring shame to her esteemed De la Vega family. With beauty as captivating as a field of lilies, she is the prized daughter of an ambitious father who cares more for his reputation than his children’s happiness. When Álvaro Montenegro, the arrogant heir to the Alpha title, sets his sights on her as his chosen Luna, María Jośe is desperate for a way out. But everything changes when the Moon Goddess answers her prayer in the most unexpected way: María Jośe discovers she is an Omega—wolfless and the lowest rank in the pack. Once held in awe, she is now shunned; a source of shame to her father and a target for ridicule in the pack. As her life turns upside down , María Jośe's hatred for the pack grows. The only solace she finds is in her growing, forbidden bond with Axel Montenegro—Álvaro’s older brother, who has turned his back on the pack to live as Beta.

But when Álvaro discovers Axel’s interest in María Jośe, jealousy ignites within him and he suddenly wants María Jośe as his own. Love, vengeance, and betrayal all brewed into a whirlwind of drama, desires, and deadly comebacks.

Letters to Romeo.

[Mature Content. No Rape] 'All it took was breaking one rule that she was not supposed to' He was the bad boy with tattoos. She was the good girl with glasses, and she was his. — When Julianne Winters decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Roman Moltenore from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Julianne asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Roman Moltenore. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Julianne couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Roman. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else’s hand!

Mated To The Cruel Prince

[Matured Content] Saving an injured Fae in the forest had not been Islinda's plan, and worse, he turns out to be royalty, Prince Valerie of the summer court, heir and crown prince to the throne of Astaria. But then, humans were wary of those otherworldly creatures while the Fae looked down on the humans, thinking of them as lesser creatures. Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love.  Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him.  But then, the other one comes instead.  Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage.  Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured  Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize.  Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince.  But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart!  Or could he?  ________ "What can you offer me, little human," He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything.  "Please," She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, "Just let me go."  "Fine," He shrugged as if it was an easy request, "You can go."  "W-what?" She croaked, finding it hard to believe.  "Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily." Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath.  But did he really mean?  Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet.  She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming.  Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake.  This was never freedom.  It was a hunt.  And she just became the prey.  _________ Note: This is a dark fantasy book and the male lead is a villain, so don't expect fluffy romance. What to expect? Death, gore, thick sexual tension, and explicit scenes. Also, it is not reverse harem. Gift magic castle = 5 bonus chapters! Come, let us have a wild hunt!

Noob author here! Some of you might think I'm shameless for reviewing my own work and giving it a five star. But as a writer, of course, I need to love my story and support it as much as possible. So, here are a few things I'd like to emphasize to you: • First of all, why is this a fantasy adventure story told from Luna’s perspective as the female main lead (FML)? Some of you male readers might think you wouldn’t be interested because the protagonist is a princess and a woman. Hold on, you're completely wrong! I’ve written this story to be enjoyable for all audiences, both male and female. Luna is not your typical weak and helpless FML. She’s a strong, intelligent, and witty character. I guarantee you’ll love her. • Since this is an isekai/transmigration & reincarnation story, does that mean Luna is overpowered (OP) from birth? Well… the answer is no. Luna becomes strong because she undergoes rigorous training and discipline from a young age. There’s no cheat here. She grows strong and defeats her opponents purely through her skills and intelligence, supported by her loyal friends and companions throughout her journey. • Will there be romance in this story? Yes, of course! But it will progress slowly since romance isn’t the main focus of the story. You’ll encounter it later once Luna matures. • I’ve included elements of mystery throughout the story. So if you’re reading and come across something mentioned briefly without further explanation, don’t worry! It’s all part of the grand design. All your questions will be answered as you continue reading. Think of it as scattered puzzle pieces for you to assemble. • Curious about how often I upload? I’ll do my best to upload as frequently as possible, with a minimum of one chapter a day. • Lastly… I understand that the combination of characters and genres I’ve chosen for this story might be unusual, but that’s exactly what makes it unique and worth reading! If you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comment section. Enjoy reading! 😊
