Synopsis

"Somebody, help me!" she screamed as she looked at the creatures surrounding her. "Hey, look at me, okay. Do not close your eyes, please!" she begged him. "I'm sorry, Astoria," the man rasped, his breathing becoming more and more unsteady with every passing minute. "I love you," he said softly. Those were his final words as he lightly caressed her cheek. With that, his hand slowly fell to the ground. His body lay lifeless in her arms. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A memory of a kingdom flashed through her mind. Dark smoke began consuming that kingdom, and blood, as black as the shadows on a starless night, flowed into it like a flood. With that, the Kingdom of Ashen was no more. Astoria Chambers always felt like she did not belong anywhere. As she juggles her life as an upright police officer who always fights for justice, she encounters an event in the form of transmigration, which changes her life forever. However, transmigration always has its challenges. She is now in a race against time as she has to fight against an evil force that threatens her one chance of returning to her original body and world.

Chapter 1Prologue

"No, please don't leave me. Stay with me!"

She groaned, rustling in her sleep. Her forehead was beaded with sweat. She was having the same nightmare again. Astoria always had trouble sleeping because, on most nights, she would have the same nightmare of a man dying in her arms. It was a man whose face she could never decipher and whose voice always broke her heart.

"Somebody, help me!" she screamed as she looked at the creatures surrounding her.

"Hey, look at me, okay. Do not close your eyes, please!" she begged him.

"I'm sorry, Astoria," the man rasped, his breathing becoming more and more unsteady with every passing minute.

She looked at the man on the ground, his face a blur. She held him tightly as if she was scared that he would disappear if she let go. He looked at her, eyes full of sadness as he lifted his index finger to wipe away the tears that ran down her cheeks. She felt devastated. She should have tried harder to protect him.

Moreover, to protect her people. Why did it have to end like this? This was definitely her fault, and now, because of her actions and incompetence, she would lose the one person she cared about the most in this world. She was going to lose the one person who had faith in her. She was going to lose her people and kingdom.

"I love you," he said softly.

Those were his final words as he lightly caressed her cheek. With that, his hand slowly fell to the ground. His body lay lifeless in her arms. This was what she was dreading the most. The one thing she did not want to ever encounter in this world and lifetime.

Feeling as though all the oxygen was knocked out of her body, tears rolled down her cheeks as she screamed in pure agony. Her heart ached at the loss of him. The one person she truly loved was now gone forever, and it was all her fault.

She woke up with a start, her heart thumping loudly and rapidly. The night was silent and filled with the occasional sound of cars passing by the neighbourhood. She clutched her shirt as she recalled the nightmare she had just encountered. It all seemed too vivid as if it had actually happened or was going to happen.

She quickly got up, her legs shaking and weak. She tried her best to walk towards the fridge and get a glass of cold water to fully wake herself up and maybe clear the shock she had just experienced. Walking outside, she sat on the outside bench.

She hoped that the cold air would cool down the excessive heat from her body and decrease the rate of her beating heart. She sighed as she looked up to the sky, counting the stars as a form of distraction. This was not the first time she had encountered something like this. It's been happening for as long as she could remember, the same nightmare replaying almost every night, repetitively.

"Just what is going on with me?" she asked no one in particular as she crouched her head.

She had brought her phone with her, checked the time, saw that it was 8:15 p.m., and decided that she needed to leave the house and have some fun. Maybe that would clear her mind. Her best option was to go clubbing. She searched through her wardrobe as she looked for something to wear.

Finally, she saw a comfortable outfit and placed it on her bed, and took a quick shower. She decided to wear a light pink tight skirt with a long black sleeve transparent shirt and a black bra.

She finished the outfit off with ebony wood-heeled combat boots, quickly brushed her black hair, and put on some light makeup. Scanning herself in the full-length mirror, she decided that she was ready to leave. She hailed a taxi and arrived at her destination.

"Thank you, sir," she said as she handed the driver the fee.

He smiled and took off. She turned to look at the building of the club, Club Owl. This club was situated downtown and was well known as a club operated from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. It was trendy amongst young adults and businessmen.

It had private rooms that could accommodate more than ten people. She smiled as she walked past the bouncer and into the club. She was immediately hit with flashing lights, the sound of loud music, laughter, and swarms of bodies dancing the night away.

"Hey, Jigger," she grinned as she sat on the barstool.

"Chambers, the usual?" he asked.

She nodded. She has known Jigger for the past two years. He was, and still is, a great friend and has many side jobs. Being a bartender was one of those jobs. She watched him as he turned his back towards her, grabbing a wine glass from one of the cabinets.

He turned towards her and smiled. He began mixing the drinks, which amazed her every time as he always looked so professional. He finished mixing the drinks and handed her the margarita.

"Tough day?" he asked her, a look of worry on his face.

Not responding immediately, she drank her margarita and asked him to bring her shots. Jigger watched her as she downed the shots in a few seconds, her throat burning at the sensation of the cold liquid.

She sighed and looked at him, her head titled and supported with her left hand. She signalled him to bring her more shots, to which he said he could only give her four as he was now starting to worry about her even more.

She pouted and batted her eyelashes to try and persuade him. However, her plan backfired as he did not budge. Usually, she would go to the club if she felt anxious or distraught because of her nightmares. He knew about them and, judging from the calculating look on his face, she could tell that he knew she had another nightmare.

"You don't know the half of it," she said as she drank her margarita with a heavy heart.

Bound by an ancient prophecy and haunted by the ghosts of her past, Eve is now at the mercy of the one being she should hate and fear the most—The Hand of Death himself. Hades, a king carved from blood and his own soul's decay, determined to avenge his family's slaughter and rid his people of the werewolves. He believes Eve is the key to his victory.

Leaving him questioning if she is truly his weapon or the one destined to unravel his carefully laid plans. *** He stalked toward me, a predator closing in on its prey, his eyes dark and unreadable. "So, you laugh?" His voice was low, dangerously soft, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I swallowed hard, suddenly aware of how difficult it had become to breathe. "Hades, I—" "But you only laugh at other men's jokes," he interrupted, his gaze piercing, devoid of any humor. "Not your husband's." The accusation in his tone was sharp, slicing through the air between us. A nervous chuckle escaped me. "You can't be serious... He’s your beta, for Goddess’ sake." In an instant, he closed the distance between us, so fast it left me breathless. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me flush against his body, the heat of him making my skin tingle. I gasped, but before I could say a word, his lips crashed onto mine, claiming my mouth with a force that sent shockwaves through me. The kiss was punishing, hungry—I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. When he finally pulled back, I was trembling, my chest heaving as I struggled to regain my breath. His eyes, dark and stormy, searched mine with a possessive intensity. "You can’t laugh at my jokes..." he whispered, his voice a dangerous rasp as his fingers trailed lower, sending a shiver down my spine, "but you’ll come with my fingers." I shivered, heat pooling low in my belly at his words, his touch. The world around us blurred, fading into nothing as his hand slipped lower, drawing a ragged gasp from my lips. The look in his eyes told me he knew exactly what he was doing to me, and there was no denying the primal connection between us in that moment. "I don’t need your laughter," he murmured against my skin, his breath hot on my neck. "I’ll have every other part of you instead." **** Dark fantasy romance Morally Grey ML Angst Suspense ENEMIES to lovers Smut (like sprinkles on your ice cream)

The Alpha's Regret: Return Of The Betrayed Luna

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] "Then let's dissolve our mate bond and reject each other! That way, you can make Claire your official Luna!" Addison's chest rose and fell violently, her breaths ragged with fury. "Who said you could leave? You are MINE!" Zion turned feral and took Addison back to their chambers and ravaged her for three days and three nights... "I'll make sure you're tied to this bed, and your legs are so weak you won’t even be able to stand," Zion snarled, pinning her down. His dark eyes flickered with gold, a clear sign that his wolf was watching her from just beneath the surface. ... Because they never truly tried to understand each other, their relationship was filled with misunderstandings. Zion, blinded by his petty pride and desire for revenge, refused to defend himself. He wanted Addison to pay for what he believed she owed him, but that very resentment became his own downfall. Addison, on the other hand, couldn’t wait forever for him to let go of his hatred and pain. She was ready to walk away. But when she finally disappeared from his world, Zion lost his mind. He turned his own pack upside down in a desperate bid to avenge the abuse and torture she had suffered. Yet it was too late—she was gone. And worst of all, he never had the chance to tell her the truth: the pup in the other woman's belly wasn’t his. He couldn’t openly reveal it either, because that woman held a special status they couldn’t afford to offend. Zion had sent Addison away to protect her from being killed, but his pride had cost him everything. Hurting her became his greatest regret—one that overshadowed even the death of his father, the former Alpha. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Their paths crossed once again. And then, Zion saw her. No, them. Addison had a son. No—she had sons. There was another one. Regret clawed at him. He had once taunted her, wanting to break her, but now all he wanted was to make amends—to reclaim the family he had lost. But how? The gap between them was wider than ever. She wasn’t someone he could simply walk up to anymore. Would he ever get the chance to fix what he had broken? Or would Addison choose the mate her father, the Alpha King, had picked for her? After all, she wasn’t just anyone—she was the Alpha King’s only daughter, destined to be the first female Alpha King in history.

A Luna for Alpha Kieran

Alpha Kieran Never Took the Same Woman Twice... Until Her! Exiled. Betrayed. Broken. Autumn knew love was a luxury,a blunt lie...until the most ruthless Alpha in the realm claimed her as his mate… only to publicly reject and humiliate her before his entire pack. But when the moon rises, his hands tell a different story. Night after night, he drags her into his bed, his teeth grazing her throat as he growls: "You are my property, little thief.Never forget that!" Secrets lurk beneath his cruelty. Lies poison their bond. And when Autumn discovers her long dead sister is alive...and wearing Kieran’s mark.. she will have to choose - Trust fate, trust the Moon Goddess who never favoured her. Or trust her guts! [ Disclaimer : There might be scenes that resemble or are near r*pe scenes. But definitely not in the exemplary way. They are there for a reason in the story. It reflects some reality of the brutal world they live in. It unfolds as we move ahead. If it bothers you, please stay away. And please keep in mind, this is a story about a kickass female lead, despite all her suffering, she still kicks balls. So if you want someone whimpering, shy submissive...stay away from the book. One more thing to keep in mind is the fact that Alpha Kieran isn't our typical 'hero' material. He has a disturbing past, is morally gray sometimes, takes rash decisions... And is severely flawed... But definitely this creates a massive scope for growth and character arch ( you are free to hate him but give him a chance to tell his story as he lives through the highs and the lows) . PS : This book will gradually introduce you to other supernatural creatures and lores that might not be typically connected to werewolf books. Though the story primarily follows a single love story, it is plot driven. Which means you will be introduced to several supporting characters on the way. So keep an open mind and try to immerse yourself in the experience. ( keep a look out for bonus side stories too ) Now, if you are ready...grab your seat belts and lets go on a ride. #HappyReading everyone

Will Zara fight the dangers that await or embrace her true destiny? **EXCERPT** "I... didn't want to be late for work. You seemed busy, so I thought I'd get a head start." Snow raised an eyebrow. "Really? Or is it because last night affected you so much that you couldn't stand being around me?" "Don't flatter yourself, Snow. You didn't affect me at all." He smirked, stepping closer. "Is that so?" His fingers brushed my chin, tilting my face up. My pulse quickened. "We're at work," I snapped, swatting his hand away. "This isn't professional." "You're my wife," he murmured. "You're supposed to obey me at all times." I bit back a retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. Slowly, I stepped closer, letting my fingers graze his chest. His smirk wavered for a second when his wolf reacted and Snow bit his lips. "Careful, Boss," I purred seductively. "Don't hurt those lips. I'm sure plenty of girls would love to kiss them." Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. "And you? Are you dying for a taste?" Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. "Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance against—" I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless. *************** MATURE CONTENT Participating in the Viral Book Call Contest.

The Prince of Military Academy Is Actually A Girl!

After dying from a strange terminal illness, Ling Lan was reborn into a world 10000 years into the future. Although she dearly wished she could just live a peaceful and uneventful life in her new healthy body, fate had other plans ... Forced to disguise herself as a boy just so she could inherit her deceased father's premium military benefits, Ling Lan's journey to adulthood was full of challenges. After much difficulty, she finally turned sixteen when she could drop the charade. But before she could grasp her newfound freedom to get married and start her own family, a twist of fate results in her being thrown into the Federation's top military boys' school. With these twists of fate, Ling Lan had little choice but to walk further and further down a path of no return, one of cold and aloof dominance ... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ryuxenji the translator here. :3 Here are some other things you should know: 1) This story is NOT primarily a romance. QI's system right now categorizes all novels taken from the female novel Chinese site (起点女生网) as 'romance' without fail, regardless of whether they truly are romance. So, if you are here just for the romance, you might want to find a different novel. There will be some romance eventually, but most of this novel is Sci-Fi/Xianxia with a lot of world-building and character development. 2) I use British spelling. So, please ensure spelling errors are really errors before reporting them. 3) No matter what the release rate up top says, the guaranteed release rate right now is 1 chp/day (a.k.a. 7 chps/week). All else is extra at my discretion. (I'll try my best, but RL responsibilities come first.)
