Synopsis

(Very mature content upcoming.) Merai's misfortune began when his childhood friend and the current emperor died without marrying, leaving his 12-year-old younger sick brother as the next emperor. When Merai's line to the royal court was cut off, the people around him changed. A conspiracy was enacted against him to frame him for a crime he did not commit. And the charge was being led by his ex-fiancé and his step-sister. Once a respected general and the only beta commander of the royal army, he was forced to step down and renounce his right. It all seemed doomed for Merai when a miracle happened, making Merai step into a role he did not expect - The Empress. Now married to a 12-year-old kid who looked and acted eerily like his dead best friend and a court who wanted to use Merai for his new position, he would have to step into his new role as soon as he could if he did not want to die. Thankfully, he was a calm, cold-blooded person who did not let anything phase him, right? Everyone was waiting for the revenge to rain cold on Merai's ex-fiance. ____________ 'Fuck! Why did my fiance betray me? Did he finally figure out that the cool-blooded general is a timid omega? Is that why the 12-year-old kid wanted to wed me? To secure himself an alliance?' Merai thought as he was pushed on his back. The familiar shade of Golden eyes, which once belonged to his best friend and now his husband, looked at him with a heated expression. "Brother Merai, you are finally mine, right? I don't have to hold back since you are going to become mine. My wife." The child emperor looked delighted before he nibbled at Merai's neck to mark him. Unfortunately, his fangs were too immature to leave a permanent mark. ____________ Warning - it is BL, has omegaverse, and has age regression. Ratings will change. Hints of a love triangle and a lot of pinning and misunderstandings. It will have a lot of othersXMC, but the main ending will me MCXML.

Chapter 1Ch 1: The Fiancé is here to meet you [pt1]

"General Merai, will you be married off to that good-for-nothing son of the finance minister? You should reconsider! We all know that he was only after you because you were friends with the emperor. But now that the emperor is dead-!"

The poor guard meant well. But his words refused to come out of his mouth when cold blue eyes looked at him.

The platoon of guards who decided to accompany their general tensed at these words, and the quickest one leapt forward to close the mouth of his loose-lipped friend.

"G-General, please forgive this kid. He is new in our platoon and does not know the rules yet. I will make sure he learns his manners.

Everyone watched as the general raised his hand, and they quickly retreated, leaving their available alone in that clearing.

General Meria, the only beta general of the empire, was left with his hand outstretched as his guards quickly fled from him.

...

'Why did the guards run away from me? Do I truly look that scary? I tried not to smile this time, but these people still got scared of me.'

Merai sighed as he watched his party flee away from him. This was common for him, so he did not even feel bad.

He was a dedicated general and had told his dead best friend that he would do what he could for the empire.

And now that the emperor was dead, this was the only way for Meria to keep his promise. He just hoped that it was enough.

"That Kerin is such a sly guy. He knew he was going to die, so he decided to rope me into his clutches and get me stuck as the general. But maybe I was the fool who fell for those ruby-like eyes of his."

Meria sighed while he continued to walk around his patrol route. He was the only one who looked around since everyone else had already run away from him.

It took him about three hours to finish his patrol. A lack of personnel around him meant that Meria had more to do than usual.

When he returned to his quarters, he hopped into the shower and wiped the filth away from his body. The water washed away the scent-blocking patches Meria had been wearing.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the thing clogged his scent was gone. It allowed Meria to breathe easier.

"General, are you in your quarters? Your finance is here to meet you-"

"Don't come in. I will fire you if you enter the room."

Meria could smell the messenger's omega scent. It was sweet and clogging, causing Meria to feel light-headed.

It was usually tough for Meria to pick up any scent due to his scent patches, so the only reason he could smell this messenger could only mean one thing - this omega was here to seduce him.

An omega-beta pair was usually frowned upon, but it was not as uncommon as it sounded. Most omegas had intense heat, but they did not want to be bound to an alpha. So, they used a beta partner who could not get them pregnant.

Merai had never spent his heat with anyone (who would spend a heat with the demonic caption of the guards), but he had his fair share of omegas trying to approach him.

And it all happened because he pretended to be a beta.

Only one person, except his parents and his nanny, had known the truth about his gender. And now that person was dead, leaving Meria alone.

*Cough*

"If young master wants me to stay out, I will stay out. But the lady asked me to ensure you arrive at the meeting on time. Your fiancé is busy, and we cannot keep him waiting."

Meria sighed before he exited the bathroom and reapplied his scent patches.

Only one person among these servants was called 'the Lady,' his father's second wife and the current head-wife. Meria's mother had died during childbirth.

"Tell the matriarch that I will be down in about five minutes. Anyone who approached me during that time will die."

Meria threatened, and his heart beat faster in his chest. He was too much of a coward to kill anyone, but he had an image to maintain.

The servant pales and quickly bows in front of Meria before realizing that the man cannot even see his face or gesture.

"Of course, master. I will convey your message to the Lady as well as the Master. I hope you make your arrival quick. The atmosphere seemed tense downstairs."

'Ah, stepmother must be planning something. That's why she sent an omega to me - to distract me and ensure I do not show up on time. Well, the jokes on her since no omega can seduce me.'

Meria had too much practice putting on his scent patch, so it only took him a few minutes to prepare himself. He was prepared to head out when he noticed that the hairpin, he always wore was crooked. 

"This pin! I did not remember putting it on my head. Maybe I should take it down now? The person who gave this to me is dead, so even this has no meaning now."

Meria touched the hairpin and tried taking it off. But his hands froze as soon as he felt the pin. Somehow, he could not make himself take that pin off.

It was a memory of his friend that he had buried inside his heart.

"Maybe I should let this pin remain. Memory or not, this is a royal gift. If I take it off, I might get into trouble for damaging it."

In the end, Meria was also unable to take the pin off this time. He arrived downstairs, only to see a familiar scene before him - his fiancé and step-sister cuddling.

His finance was an alpha and the elder son of the current finance minister. They had tried to secure the match, and Meria's parents (mainly her step-mother) accepted this match as soon as it came.

Meria had been against this match, but he did not have much ground to protest when it came to family interests. The only one who could refute this marriage was the emperor.

And taking this talk to Emperor Kerin was the last thing Meria wanted to do. It did not feel like the emperor should be concerned about it.

But maybe Meria should have taken the chance to issue a protest. It would have stopped him from seeing his fiancé cheating on him this openly.

It's Just A Picture (BL)

(MATURE CONTENT) Threesome arc? - Right here A weak, adorable, and low self-esteemed MC with an awful past, a trauma breaking him down every second and controling his life, just before he meets his 'suns', and later gains confidence and starts loving himself again arc? - Right here. Yeah, you read that right. Twin brothers who radiate like the sun and are very possessive of the MC, putting his happiness above everything arc? Gosh, look no further, you're in the right place. This story is just for you, so open it and read to your heart's content. ****** Synopsis I was just a no-name photographer who was trying hard to make a living, but then I got tangled with 'them'. My life, as it was, had always been nothing but a nightmare, living a cursed life that wasn't fit to be called a life. I had no chances with love, connections, or anything. Nothing! And after drawing my last straw, trying to make a final effort that would maybe lead me somewhere other than dirt, I met them again. They - the twins - were my childhood friends whose lives I had ruined with my presence, and I was scared to ruin it a second time, so I tried to stay away from them but... They had other plans. 'When angels dream.' That was what I called the picture. The beautiful portrait was filled with serenity as that blond Italian man gazed into the distance and was showered with the soft petals of cherry blossom. The beautiful picture I had 'stolen'. Yeah, that's the word. I stole it because I didn't ask for permission first. But this is how it unfolded. At first, I took the picture without asking because I was so mesmerized by the scenery, and completely breathtaking, but then I got caught but it wasn't by the same man. They looked alike and wore the same clothes but I could tell right away that he wasn't him. Nevertheless, I apologized. "I'm deeply sorry." I said but then, the man whom I had stolen a picture from walked up behind me and said, "To think such a day would come." I turned around and blinked, looking at the man in front of me and then at the one behind me. They were identical twins. And not only that ... My heart shook... They looked like the twins I had known back then. "What's the matter?" The one in front asked with a bright smile that I was so compelled to take a picture of him and I did. He blinked at my confused expression and then burst out laughing. A sweet and cheerful laugh that made me blush. he looked really handsome. They both did, with their blonde hair which shone like gold with the suns radiation and a charming smile. I found my heart racing at the mere sight of that smile and almost forgot the situation I was in. "I see you haven't changed at all." He suddenly said, swiped my hair back and added, softly, "Hyung." My eyes widened. These two... It couldn't be... They weren't the twins, right? The twins that I knew. They... How did this happen? I just wanted a picture, that's all. ****** Thank you all for diving into this story. Note, the smut doesn't officially start right away till the later chapters but I didn't leave the readers without some sweet candies either, so along the line, there were a bunch of 'actions' between MC and the twins, huhu. His denial knew no bound but his body still won in the end, haha. Anyway, if you find waiting for updates too long, and you haven't checked out my other books, please do. There's also a threesome arc in the first one below. And it's completed too. What a score! 1) Alpha, Alpha, Beta? I transmigrated into an Omegaverse as a boy? [Completed] Check out the continuation of number one, It's the next generation, that is, their kids 2) To Byul (Omegaverse) [Ongoing ]

Mated to Four Alphas

Silas has never feared Alphas. Naturally strong and unaffected by their pheromones, he constantly clashes with them. But this unique trait becomes his downfall when, on his 18th birthday, his mate rejects him—choosing his stepbrother, Ciel, instead. Wounded and betrayed, Silas leaves the pack, unaware that his life is about to take a turn he never imagined. In the enemy pack, he crosses paths with four powerful princes—Damon, Theron, Kael, and Lysander. They take him in, but the situation grows even more chaotic when Silas discovers a shocking truth. The four princes, believed to be his twin brother’s mates, are actually his fated mates. "What?" Silas whined. "Silas, behave yourself and let us handle this matter." "Shorty, no one can hurt you." "Silas, I will protect you." After saying this, the three brothers glanced at their fourth sibling. "What? ...Yes, I'll do the same," he muttered. Just when things couldn't get more complicated, a cryptic dream shakes Silas to his core. "He is your child. If you reject him too, he will die!" And soon after, a five-year-old child appears, leaving Silas utterly confused. "You are mine... In this life, I will make you my slave, destroy those bastards, and erase their bloodline." A bitter love tangled in hatred—one that transcends lifetimes. Someone is willing to go to any lengths to claim Silas, no matter the cost. Can Silas rewrite the fate from his past life? Or will history repeat itself? ---------------------- [ WSA 2025 entry] Discord server : https://discord.gg/SUSpfcDr9t
