Synopsis

"Devin, do you love me?" Hearing her question that had snapped him out of his thoughts, the Soul Eater opened his eyes slowly to meet her blue eyes once more. He smiled foolishly as his right hand reached out to her face, his thumb caressing her bottom lip. "Is that a question you dare ask your husband?" Angeal pouted like a child. "Tell me you love me... or I’ll cry." Devin chuckled, making Angeal pout more as she narrowed her eyes at him. When Devin ceased his jovial laughter, he didn’t answer her question. Instead, he bent down as he pulled her closer to him, his lips smoothly landing on hers to give her a loving kiss. ’I love you, Angeal. Before I even knew it, my heart yearned for you.’ ~ Punished by the Almighty Seraphim, Devin was branded a fallen angel and was given a curse to become a Soul Eater—a being who is hungry for souls and feeds on them for sustenance. Devin was bound on earth, looking for clues on how to cure his irrevocable curse until a desperate old man saw the Soul Eater and begged him to save his newborn granddaughter’s life. However... it comes with the price of selling both of their souls. With the old man giving both of their lives to the Soul Eater, what path lies ahead for Angeal as she grows in a house full of magical immortals? ~ The Almighty Seraphim sighed, shaking herself from her thoughts. She then spoke, planting more curiosity in the mind of the Dominion who was watching over the Soul Eater. "Continue watching over them. She is his cure, but it will lead her to oblivion.” ~ With the Soul Eater cursed and with them eventually knowing that the sweet innocent girl he saved is the cure, will their relationship be a boon or a bane? Will they perhaps have sweet love, forbidden love... or maybe even both? With the given thoughts at hand, will fate bless their lives... or curse them even more? Let us know the answers to these questions as we unravel the story of Angeal being the Soul Eater’s Possession. ~ NOTE: COMPLETED Some chapters may contain R-18 content. Also, this is a slow-burn romance. Vol 1: Nunc Domum When the Soul Eater, Devin, and his personal servant, Ivar, found no clues about the curse, they finally went home after 18 years. However, when the two arrived in the mansion, Devin's curse suddenly went amok when he met the human girl, Angeal. What could be the girl's involvement in his curse? Vol 2: Est Ignotum As the immortals and the mortals spent their days with each other, they are more confused than ever with not only with the feelings they have for a certain person, but also with their background, with their loyalty, and with what lies ahead. To them, there are a lot of things that are unknown... Vol 3: Actio Culmen Cadentia The peak of their lives had finally arrived as secrets and revelations, stirring their judgments and what they believe in. As they all go on with their lives, what will they decide for others, and of course, for themselves? Vol 4: Et Requiem With all the events that had transpired, each one of them had started to question one's judgment and decisions. Now that these actions had been falling, what will Devin, Angeal, and everyone do to face what's ahead of them?

Chapter 1Place Their Souls

"Claudia, stay strong. You will live tonight," the old man said as his daughter shook her head, trying her best to hold on to her baby.

The old man's tears escaped from his eyes then it soon fell on his daughter's tired face. She had given birth at their home since they were too poor to afford assistance in a hospital. They wouldn't also want to be in too much debt that's why they decided to have the baby at home.

The old man felt rage when he remembered how the man left his daughter upon knowing that he got her pregnant. But what broke his heart more was that he couldn't do anything to help his daughter.

After a few minutes of silence, Claudia spoke to her father again, with her coarse, tired voice.

"Please raise my child well. I want to let her have a bright future. Surely, father, you can do something for her. I'm..."

Claudia coughed, making her loosen her hold on the baby. Instinctively, her father, Gladios, carried the baby as Claudia tried her best to open her eyes to look at her father one last time.

"I'm losing my strength. I love you, father. Forgive me for giving you a burden."

Gladios shook his head as he cried, feeling desperate on how to make his dying daughter feel at ease.

"Claudia, I'm sorry. I couldn't do anything for you. I—"

Claudia didn't let him finish. With her last strength, she held her father's cheek then weakly smiled.

"I'm sorry, father... but this is my last favor. Take care of her. She is my only child and it pains me that I will leave her soon," she said then Gladios looked at his grandchild then nodded.

"I'll do everything I can for the child, I promise," he said at last then with that given promise, Claudia forced a smile, giving her last words before she permanently closed her eyes.

"Thank you, father. I love you... and my child."

Gladios frowned. "Claudia?"

He checked his daughter's pulse and when there was nothing, he cried and embraced his grandchild.

"I promise. I'll protect your child with my life."

Gladios looked at his grandchild and wrapped her with cloth. He was too focused with his dying daughter, without even noticing what's wrong with the baby. When he looked at the baby for a long time, he noticed that the baby wasn't moving or even crying.

Panicked, Gladios' shaking hands carried the infant then he carefully put his ear against the baby's small, frail body. Her heartbeat was faint and she was barely even breathing.

"Oh no... no, no, no..."

The poor old man's voice broke as he grew worried by the second for his granddaughter's life. He already lost Claudia... he couldn't afford to lose this precious baby's life, after he promised his daughter to raise her.

As Gladios stood up to look for a hospital, he stood frozen on the ground, surprised to see another presence in their small old house.

A handsome man with black hair and purple eyes stood before Gladios' daughter. He was wearing black clothing as well, with white outlines on every edge of his clothes. The old man stood stunned, as he watched what the mysterious man was doing in front of him.

The man knelt down on one knee as he slowly carried Claudia's body. With his free right hand, he gently parted Claudia's lips making a white "shadow" come out, then it entered the mysterious man's mouth. Once he was done, he put the dead body down, then looked at it indifferently.

"Unsatisfied."

The old man suddenly got the courage to speak after witnessing what the mysterious man did to Claudia.

"What did you do to my daughter," he said, as he struggled to keep his knees firm from fear.

Upon hearing the old man's voice, the mysterious man looked at him, his eyes slightly showing a bit of surprise.

"You... can see me," he asked and Gladios felt something chilly in the atmosphere. It was as if winter came early.

"Wh-what did you do to my daughter," the old man asked again then the mysterious man looked at him intimidatingly.

"I just ate your daughter's soul. In other words, I eat souls to satisfy my hunger," he answered and Gladios felt threatened.

"A-are you going to take ours as well," the old man asked and the mysterious man gave him a smirk.

"Please... taking the souls of others forcefully is no longer my thing," the mysterious man reacted then he noticed the old man carrying an infant in his arms. "That baby is... getting weaker."

When he made this remark, Gladios suddenly remembered about his granddaughter. Knowing that he was in front of a being with unfathomable magic powers, he felt desperate to ask him for help.

The old man took the courage to speak to the mysterious man in front of him. "Please, I beg of you... do anything to save her."

The man raised an eyebrow as he walked slowly towards the old man, intimidating him.

"Are you seriously seeking help from me, a person who eats souls?"

Gladios' eyes began to water as he remembered his promise to his daughter. "I don't know what else to do. I promised my daughter that I'd raise her child. I can't fail her now that she's given up her life just for my grandchild!"

"Oh... is that so?"

The mysterious man's voice seemed indifferent, which made the old man desperate.

"Please, I beg of you... save my granddaughter!"

The soul eater circled them as he spoke.

"Sure, I would... but I have conditions."

Upon hearing this, the old man's face lit up.

"Yes! I'd do anything for you. Just save the child!"

"Okay then," the soul eater said as he nodded. "I'll give you the wealth to raise this child as long as you both work for me," he added then the old man nodded, feeling relieved.

"Of course, of course! We promise to pay you back," Gladios said and when the soul eater heard this, he scoffed.

"Is your old age really hindering your hearing? I said I have conditions."

The old man frowned, feeling confused. "What are the other conditions?"

When the soul eater heard this, he gave off an eerie vibe, making all the leaves present around them fly in the air as he spoke.

"When the time comes on the day of your death, you are to offer your soul to me," he said, making the old man nod slowly.

"As you wish."

The soul eater raised his finger, continuing to speak. "Your granddaughter will work for me even without your presence," he added then he slowly placed his hand on the child. "Until it is time for me to take her soul."

The old man's eyes reddened as he heard the last condition. "What? You're... going to take her life away?"

The soul eater retracted his hand from the infant and his face now looked expressionless as he stared at the old man.

"Hurry... she only has eight minutes to live."

When Gladios heard this, he looked at his granddaughter, then back at the soul eater in front of him. He was then again reminded of the promise he said to his daughter about saving her child.

"We are at your mercy."

When it was decided, the soul eater smirked as he placed his hand on the baby, emanating a magical aura from his hand, saving Claudia's daughter's life.

The old man had no other choice... but to place their souls in this mysterious man's hands.

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!

Shameless author review! 🤣 But I would like to leave a review myself as an author. 😊 I consider this novel my first novel that I wrote as an adult because the works that I have and translated here were my works when I was in high school, around 16-17 years old. 😅 Now that I wrote a new concept that I thought of as an *****, I am more proud of this work than the ones I previously worked on. 😁 For the writing quality, I am satisfied... but not quite, as I find myself lacking in using vocabulary words when I write. To be honest, I am kind of lazy looking for a deeper word to express a word which I would like to change, so sometimes I just leave it at that. 😅 As for the narration aspect, I still find difficulties writing in 3rd POV, but as I write, I will try my best to improve myself. ☺️ Update stability, I gave myself a 5 as I see no problem with it (because I am currently unemployed). 😂 Also, I publish one chapter a day and I have around 40+ chapters in my stockpile as I write 13 cha** a week so all is good! 😉 But I no longer do mass releases. Will do so if MGS finishes by January. 🤣 For story development, I am satisfied with my pacing for my work. Not too fast, not too slow. I do outlining to guide me as I write my story. 😊 As for character design, I did my best to think of them before I wrote the story and as I wrote the story. I even did personality tests for each character to guide me however, as I write, I still find a little difficulty in expressing some of them, though I am getting there as I take time to reread and edit before I publish them. 😄 Lastly, world background. To be honest, I am not quite sure if I did this well. 😅 If you noticed, I didn’t even name the city they are in. 🤪 Also, I did an effort as I searched about angels and demons so I could efficiently write about it in my story. Even though I encountered some difficulties, I try my best to tackle the problem by doing researches and by asking some opinions of other readers and fellow authors. 😁 Anyway, this is it for my shameless review! I hope whoever reads this gets the urge to leave a review. 🤣 Or if you passed by just to see the synopsis and some reviews, I hope you also give my story a chance. 🥰
