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.

The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]

Are you afraid of death? For Jie Fu Lian, who had already come to terms with his death, the thought of being alive was scarier. Although his death was quite tragic, he still lived a fulfilling life. He had done everything that he had wanted to do and he had achieved everything that he had strived for. Even as he died, he only had a single regret. He regretted the fact that he couldn't thank Hua Tianshu, an enemy who had stood up for him till the end. His death was quite painful but he wasn't unhappy with it. However, it should have ended right there. Why the hell was he now possessing the body of a tyrannical demon king?! The heavens above were certainly playing with him and laughing at his misfortune! As if possessing the body of his enemy wasn't enough, out of all the people that he could run into, why did he have to run into Hua Tianshu?! Just when Jie Fu Lian thought his luck couldn't get any worse, Hua Tianshu just had to go and recognize him as well! "Is this what an ill-fated relationship means?" Jie Fu Lian's lips twitched. It was as if even death couldn't break the red strings that had tied the two of them together. "Why are you so nice to me?" “You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you the reason,” Hua Tianshu sighed. “You are falsely accusing me. I trust everything you tell me.” “I like you.” “I like you too, brother,” Jie Fu Lian beamed, however, this response only disappointed Hua Tianshu whose words had been misunderstood once again. “We are clearly not on the same page,” Hua Tianshu sighed as he turned around and left. Jie Fu Lian frowned as he tilted his head cluelessly. The new demon king is a thick-headed idiot who can’t even take a hint! Cover art by: Cherlyswan

BloodMoon: Captivated by the Forbidden Lycan Alpha

[Warning: Mature Content R18+] The taste of forbidden love is the sweetest agony!! They were fucking right. I, Frery Kane was whipped and captivated by a Lycan Shifter from the Bay Shifter pack in Paradise Bay. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, an irresistible pull I couldn’t deny. Alpha Tor Gale, a Lycan Shifter of unparalleled strength, only of his kind, his blood as intoxicating as ambrosia, his presence a temptation, I couldn’t escape. He made me crave more than I should or was allowed. In Paradise Bay, Vampires and Shifters are bound by ancient laws, their rivalry etched into the marrow of our existence. To meet him was to defy centuries of hatred; to love him was to risk everything. Each secret meeting was a dance with death, a betrayal of the Paradise Vampire Coven, and a rebellion against the laws that chained us. But Tor was my forbidden desire, my beautiful torment, and my greatest weakness. I knew the cost of this love, a love that could ignite war and destroy us both. But how could I resist the one thing that made my immortal heart beat once more? Excerpt from Alpha Tor's POV: “So you’ve been following me,” Tor’s deep growl echoed in the icy cavern. His golden eyes caught the flicker of torchlight. His breath misted in the freezing air, curling like smoke between them. “What gave me away?” I responded my voice as low, deep, and steady. Tor laughed a deep rumble that shook the cavern walls. “You reek of desperation. Do you think I didn’t notice your scent clinging to the trees? Are your footprints melting the frost? What is it, vampire? What do you want from me?” My jaw clenched and my gaze didn’t waver. “Your blood,” I taunted as my voice was laced with coldness to see if he could be threatened by my words. “Your kind is... intoxicating. Forbidden. I can’t stop myself.” I expected him to cover but he stepped forward and responded “If it’s my blood you want,” he murmured, his voice low and teasing, “then come closer and take what you need” The words struck me like lightning, and a fiery heat surged through my veins. My beast clawed at my control, drawn to him in a way that defied logic. His gaze held mine, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t know whether to run or to stay. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, they called me a betrayer. A traitor to the Paradise Vampire Coven. But how could I hold back when I had tasted something far sweeter than immortality? Alpha Tor was my forbidden fruit, the Lycan Shifter Alpha who defied everything I was taught to hate. But when I surged forward, ready to face anyone who dared stand between us, fate revealed the old prophecy hidden in Hanka Island. Alpha Tor wasn’t just my lover, he was my lifetime mate, our bond blessed by the ancient magic of Hanka Island itself. And our love was not meant to follow the rules, it was meant to break them.
