Chapter 1The Birthday Promise

It was during those kind of moments I felt helpless. I had always imagined love to be unpredictable and chaotic. But when he smiled and his eyes crinkled up, I felt like being near a hearth on a snowy evening; home and heaven rolled into one.

- Diary Of Ophelia

"No", she screamed out loud. She was panting like she'd been running a marathon and was sweating profusely. She could hear the sound of several footsteps getting closer to the entrance of her chambers. The door was opened cautiously by a pair of females in blues.

"Are you alright, Princess? We heard you screaming."

"Yes, I'm. Please go back to your rooms."

"Okay." They left with concern and reluctance written clearly on their faces.

She sat back on the pillows and took a deep breath.

'That dream. Again. What does it mean? It's been haunting me since I turned 17 and it's been an year since then. Who is that guy? And what does he have to do with me? Grrr!!! I'll go crazy if this continues. Well, I can't let some stupid dream ruin my day."

She got down from the bed and went to the balcony to be greeted by the first rays of the sun.

For someone seeing her now, she resembled a fiery star in her red robe. And she was that alright, fiery! Celosia - The eldest daughter of the ruler of that nation with three brothers and two sisters, she's been trained well in martial arts and possessed a courageous spirit.

"I'll never get bored of this view in my lifetime." She let out a contented sigh, letting her eyes roam the forest opposite to her chambers. True, there's a large patch of land separating it from her. But the long-distance view of those green embers always had the ability to soothe her.

"Sis, are you up?" A bright childish voice could be heard calling out to her. Her lips curled up on their on accord.

"Yes dear, in here."

"Hey..." A small bundle of yellow ran up with a huge smile and Celosia stooped down to receive the hug.

"Good morning, sunshine. Happy Birthday." She kissed the chubby cheeks of the baby girl bundled up in the yellow robe.

She giggled with glee and asked with stars shining in her eyes, "You'll take me to the forest, right?"

"I will keep my promise. No worries, Thea."

"Alas! It seems like I'll have to prepare the picnic basket, again!" A mock melancholic voice called out from the entrance of the chamber.

"Epione! " The two chorused together.

"You are up too early." Celosia could not help teasing her 15-year old sister.

"Ha ha so funny sis", Epione pouted with a playful air about her.

"Well, our little sunshine is turning four. I have to be up early, right? But rest assured, it's only for today." She concluded with a laugh. The other two couldn't help but laugh along with her.

And that's how the day which held numerous surprises in store started - on a happy note.

Which soon plunged them into the whirlwind of mysteries.

-------------------------------------------

Meanwhile somewhere else in the palace:

"Wake up, sleepy-heads," a male voice could be heard hollering.

"Leo, you'll definitely be heard all across the island. " Another male voice complained while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

" Yet our youngest brother sleeps like a log. " Leo sighed with an exasperated smile.

" Barak, wake him up and get down to the courtyard. Do hurry up. The girls may set out without us. They are set in their decision. All we can do is go with them."

" It's the forbidden forest for a reason, Leo! Father is going to be furious. " Barak warned his elder brother with a wicked smile.

" As if you are not excited at the prospect of breaking the rules," Leo sounded exasperated. "I'll see you in the courtyard brother."

"Ahh, now I'll have to rouse this hooligan from his beauty sleep. Alec, it's Thea's birthday today. Wake up, will you!?"

"Thea's birthday!" The 13-year old sat up in his bed with a shout.

"We get to explore the mysterious forest! Yes!!" He let out a whoop.

"Yes,yes...now get ready and come to the courtyard. Leo is waiting for us."

"Just a few minutes bro. I'll be there on time." Alec called out while rushing to get everything ready.

------------------------------------------------

In the courtyard, Leo was immersed in his thoughts:

' I am not sure whether this decision is right or wrong. But little Thea wanted nothing else than a picnic in the forbidden forest. Well, she is not aware of the dangers and rules. That forest had been off-limits for the island folk since two centuries ago. It is said to be the final resting place of a princess of our royal blood. She had died under mysterious circumstances. Even taking her name is a taboo in this kingdom. But all this had been two hundred years ago. Now the forest is a sight to the sore eyes; with a wide variety of blooms dancing in the breeze, standing like the walls to the palace of emerald. No wonder little Thea was attracted to that piece of heaven. She's an ardent lover of flowers. But the surprising factor is Celosia's willingness or rather eagerness to visit that place. Why did my little sister had a look of longing while she gazed at the forest.? It bothers me to no end. Well, it's too late to change the decision now. It's bound to be a safe trip and a joyful one at that.'

Leo could hear the footsteps and laughter-filled words coming towards the courtyard.

" Ah, here comes our love. " Leo picked up Thea and kissed her on her cheek. Thea laughed out loud with joy. The others looked on with a fond smile.

"I hope all of you have taken your weapons and food."

" Yes, your highness. " They chorused with cheeky smiles.

" Yeah, so funny. " Leo rolled his eyes.

"Let's not wait any longer. Come on everyone, let's go. " Celosia urged them.

" The word of my womb-mate is my order. " Barak did a military salute.

" Is that the new term for twin, idiot? "

" Oh yes, sis. Isn't it thought provoking. "

" Well, it sounds a bit strange. " Epione shrugged.

" Oh, well. Whatever. Let's start our journey. "

And thus they set out to the forbidden forest.

A place of mysteries nobody has visited for two hundred long years. A place which held the most tragic love story the island had ever heard of.

Now, stuck with a nature-reviving system in a world full of poisonous gases and intergalactic stuff where she has to start from the very beginning and plant more forest and crops while creating a liveable world for the humans, Mo Qiang was suffering. But it sounds easy right? No! In her path she has three villainous husbands, all three of them want to kill her such that they will be able to marry her capable sister after kicking her away who was trashy and good for nothing. Mo Qiang has nothing against them, in fact, she is more than willing to divorce them after securing her life and raising her favourability in their hearts such that they will not kill her but —— Why are they coming for her now? Hello, you all wanted to marry her sister right? Excerpt: “ Here you go,” said Mo Qiang as she pushed the divorce agreement looking at her first husband who was gentle but poisonous like a snake. “ I have already signed the document of our divorce, you can take a look —-wait, why are you taking your clothes off?” The mer looked at her and smiled gently as he took off his glasses and said, “ Looks like my wife is not happy with me not giving birth to our child, don’t worry I will work hard tonight.” Mo Qiang: “…..” I do not want you to work hard! Take second! “ Take this and sign it,” said Mo Qiang, this time more fiercely as she looked at her second husband who was reading a script for his film. “ I am sure you want to divorce me right? I have already signed —-woah! What are you putting me on the bed for?” She asked while looking at the gorgeous face. Her second husband stared down at her and with a blank expression and voice as cold as water said, “ I have to practice a love-making scene, help me, dear wife.” Mo Qiang: “……” This movie that you are shooting is based on the Zerg apocalypse, don’t lie to me! With whom are you going to make love with? A Zerg? Take third! “ Huff, huff..this is the divorce agreement, sign it... I know that your company does not allow idols to date so here sign it,” she said to her third husband who was practising his dance moves. The mer who was dressed in a loose silk shirt and sweat dripping down his body took a look at the document that she was handing him and then hugged Mo Qiang. A second later she heard his sniffling voice while he peppered kisses on her neck, “ Wife you do not want me? Is that the new idol who attracted your attention, I knew it! I will take care of him!” “Put down that knife will you!” And why is the third prince of the imperial family who hated her to the bones coming after her with flowers? She already has her hands full! ….

The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter

WARNING! -DARK ROMANCE- “Why do you have scars?” All of sudden, Iris changed the topic, as she looked at Cane in the eyes. She was still clutching to his sleeves. “Your father gave me,” Cane replied. He thought, Iris wouldn’t remember this conversation when she woke up. “That must be so painful.” “They are.” “Will the scars heal?” “I don’t think so.” The night indeed made you vulnerable and let you said something that you would never admit when it was bright. The obscurity softened your heart. “Too bad. You have a warm soul.” Iris frowned slightly. “I no longer have a soul.” He had sold his soul for the freedom of his people. There was nothing left of him right now. “Yes, you have, but you are in so much pain.” Iris blinked her eyes. “Your beast is in pain. You have so many scars.” “The only scars that I have is on my face.” Iris shook her head meekly. “I am not talking about your face. I am talking about your soul. Too bad, you are in so much pain… what my father and brother had done to you must be painful…” And after that, Iris closed her eyes and fell asleep. ====================== She is the daughter of an alpha who has killed his family, razed his pack and has also made his people slaves. Now, he has achieved revenge after ten years of being treated as a slave and was living a life that no one would ever imagine. Life akin to hell. And ten years later, Alpha Cane manages to take over and kill the alpha who has made the lives of his people worse than death. It was time for him to make the children of the alpha pay for what their father had done. Only… Iris was a runt and she was very different from her father.

His wolf was livid. “Why do you think we will help?” Kace asked while narrowing his black obsidian eyes, his wolf took control of him. He was the youngest among the three and the less temperamental among them. The three of them were cursed by Selene because of their ferocious action to gain supreme power and authority. The moon goddess didn’t bless them with a mate as a punishment of their atrocious way and forced them to involve in this deadly war with the demons. “You will turn us into a slave for those sickly creatures!?” Torak asked incredulously. “Aren’t you afraid that we will snap them into two?” The guardian angel was so fragile and they as lycanthropes didn’t appreciate the weaknesses. “No, you will not.” Selene said patiently. “You will not be their slave nor hurt them, you will cherish them in every way possible.” Jedrek laughed menacingly upon hearing this, they didn’t care about the resurrected of the beast, once they crossed their territory, with or without the guardian angel he would tear their body apart. “I will be the last person they will see, once I find them.” He was referring to both the guardian angel and the demon. But, the next voice from Selene was laced with mirth when she spoke. “You will not hurt your mate.” ============================ Session 1 (chapter 1 - 394) : Torak Donovan - Raine (completed).

Abyssal Awakening

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her. Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

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!

The Alpha's Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger.

“I will not be defined as a ‘wolfless deviant’ I will not be a pawn in the 'games Alphas play' And I refuse to be mated to the stranger who crashed into my life and turned everything upside down… Only that might be my biggest challenge yet.” Those were the words Lyla chanted to herself as she left the annual werewolf gala, drenched in her sweat and her pheromones. Only days ago, she was a happy teenager existing in the human world – trying to get through college and go far away, forget everything she’s been through and start life afresh but now, she’s in the middle of the gala, sprawled on the ground with her desires in everyone’s face and Alpha Ramsey Kincaid – the Lycan leader of the White Moon Throne extending his hands towards her. If she takes it, she would bring dishonour to her family because she is in no state to be mingling with anyone, talk more of the Lycan leader who was out of her league and if she refuses, she risks being sent to the pack prison for not taking better care of herself during her heat - Yes, it was a crime for her to be without a wolf. But when he touches her, something inside her stirs… Desires? Yes! Powers hidden by the moon goddess? Yes! And maybe just maybe, the stirrings of her missing wolf whose voice can calm feral wolves and heal … Can she learn to trust this man whose mouth says a different thing and his hands speak another language or would she become a pawn – a piece of chess in the games ‘Alphas play’? One thing’s for certain- Lyla Woodlands was done being the pack’s little, dirty ‘wolfless deviant’. It’s time this wolfless wonder showed them what she’s made of. #Slow burn #Wispy old prophecies # Love Triangle - ML and FL best friend #Villian in love with FL Join my discord group: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4
