Chapter 1This Relationship That Can't Go Anywhere, Part One

[Whoa,] Rin thought, as she and Eve arrived at the restaurant the fairy had picked out. [This is pretty fancy. Do I even have the money to buy anything here?]

Luxurious furniture, gold-colored decorative pieces, sleek black wooden tables, and bulky chandeliers were spread out all throughout the "bar" they'd arrived at. There was even slow, sensual music playing from speakers Rin couldn't see.

Many of the people here were strangers but, among them, Rin could see a few familiar faces. Varyn, Lisa, Dylan, and even Sara were all there.

Elisa, however, was not, which made Rin feel slightly disappointed.

Even now, the thought of just seeing her was enough to make Rin's heart race. After the talk the two of them had on that mountain, Rin wondered what was going to happen with the crush she'd held for three years now. She wanted to hope for the best, but, before she could get her hopes too high up, she and that blonde noblewoman needed to talk.

Looking around, Rin glanced at her classmates. Varyn, the beastborn boy with a pair of wolf ears on his head, was dressed in a white t-shirt and some jeans, which made him look slightly out of place. On the opposite side of that spectrum, Dylan and Lisa looked like they were going to a ball, as the man was wearing a white suit and Lisa wore a bright green dress, with her hair tied up into a ponytail and a lot more make up on her than she normally had on.

The person who really made Rin pause was Sara, though.

[... Wow,] Rin thought, blinking twice as her eyes fell on her classmate.

She wore a white, flared skirt and a low-cut, sleeveless top of the same color, showing off her thin, toned arms. With her long, silky black hair falling over her shoulders and the bored, somewhat lonely look on her face, she looked like an unapproachable model.

When Rin first met this woman, she had been slightly scared of her. Now, however, that fear was giving way to something else. Curiosity.

Tearing her eyes off her, Rin leaned toward Eve, who was hovering in the air beside her.

"Uh... Am I gonna have to sell an organ just to buy some wine here?" Rin asked Eve quietly as the two of them walked toward the counter at the back.

"Nah," Eve replied, laughing, hovering in the air. The fairy flew from one side of the room to another. "This place isn't actually as expensive as it looks. Though, your wallet is absolutely going to take a hit, but, it's not that bad."

"Well, that's a relief... It looks great here, though. How did you find this place?"

"I..." Eve looked away, "I was kinda planning on taking someone here."

"Planning? Did you change your mind?"

"Yeah," Eve replied. "Still, it made a hell of an impression on me. Come on, let's say hi to people."

"Sure."

The two of them made their way to where Lisa, Varyn, and Dylan were seated. Their classmates glanced up at them. Varyn appeared indifferent, but Lisa and Dylan both smiled politely.

"Hey!" Lisa greeted them. "Glad you could make it."

"I'm literally the one who invited everyone, of course I was gonna be here," Eve replied, giggling. "Did you guys order yet?"

"The food doesn't seem too bad, so we ordered some appetizers," Dylan stated. "Will you be having dinner as well, or are you just looking for some alcohol?"

"Yeah, I'm not gonna eat anything," Rin said, nodding.

"I might... Do you recommend anything?" Eve asked, looking at Lisa.

The healer grinned as she opened up the menu in front of her.

"Yeah, you could get..."

As she began listing off some options, Rin turned toward Sara, who was sitting on her own.

"Be right back," she said to the others before she walked toward her.

It looked as though Sara had her head completely in the clouds. She stared down at an empty plate in front of her as Rin approached. When the other student finally saw Rin, her eyes widened just a little and she straightened up.

"Hi," Rin raised a hand. "Mind if I sit down?"

"..." Sara simply shook her head, remaining silent, and Rin sat in front of her.

Sara appeared quite stiff, almost frozen as her eyes tracked Rin's movements.

"Did you eat already?" Rin asked.

"..." Sara's lips parted but, for a couple of seconds, no words came out. Then, she simply responded, "I ordered."

"Ah, what did you get?"

"The... The Cardanian pizza," Sara elaborated.

"Oh, why did you pick that out?"

"... Because it is cheap," Sara responded quietly.

Rin blinked. Then, suddenly, Rin started laughing quite hard. Sara raised a brow at her.

"Is that strange?"

"No, no, no," Rin responded, smiling at her. "Something about how you said that was just... funny to me. Sorry."

"..." Sara looked down at her menu again. "I see."

Moments later, a man approached the table carrying some food that smelled absolutely delicious. Rin had never seen a pizza before, though she knew of it as a supposed Cardanian delicacy. As always, however, she took anything designated as "Cardanian" with a grain of salt, since the overwhelming majority of people had never been there before. It was an easy thing to lie about.

As Sara accepted the food and picked up some cutlery with her elegant, yet well-trained, hands, Rin asked:

"So, how did your mission go?"

"It went well..." Sara replied as she cut a piece off of her meal.

"Ah... okay, good," Rin said, nodding as she looked toward the entrance to the bar. Though, calling this place a "bar" felt like doing it a disservice. It looked more like a high-class restaurant that just so happened to specialize in alcoholic drinks.

[... Still not here, huh?]

"... go?"

"Huh?" Rin turned back toward Sara. "S-Sorry, I didn't catch that."

Sara stopped her hand, just before the chunk of pizza at the end of her fork could reach her thin lips.

"How did yours go?" She asked again.

"Oh! Oh, uh, it went well too," Rin responded, chuckling a little awkwardly. "I... I saw some monsters I'd never seen before."

"... Is that so?" Sara replied after swallowing the bit of pizza she'd taken. Then, just as quietly, she added, "I am glad."

Rin couldn't help but smile upon hearing that.

[Sara does have a kind side to her, huh? But... I wonder what happened to make her this reserved. Well, then again, maybe nothing happened. Could just be how she is.]

At that moment, the front door to the bar opened.

Rin turned and froze as she saw who just came in.

Elisa strutted into the building. Her eyes scanned around the room until she saw Rin, and then, with a smirk, she gestured at an empty table to the right.

"Uh, sorry," Rin said to Sara, "I need to go, ehm, check on something... But, we should train together sometime," she offered.

"... Sure."

On that note, in more of a hurry than she should have been, Rin got up and walked toward Elisa, who sat down already. Calming her heart, Rin sat down in front of her, and Elisa crossed her legs.

"So," Elisa said first, "we... we have a bit to talk about, huh?"

The Crown's Seduction

Yet, he refuses to let her go… Mineah, the youngest Princess of Ebodia, was cursed at birth to remain untainted and bring misfortune to those around her.

Underneath that mask is a strong and feisty vixen worthy of being a queen. And this would-be queen has set her eyes on breaking her curse, even if that means tricking the most cunning vampire ever born.

But just who is the hunter and who is the prey? ******** Excerpt: “Why are you stripping naked in front of me?” she questioned with a frown, doing little to hide the irritation in her voice. Her goal was to capture only his heart, not his whole body! “Am I not allowed to have a bath with my wife?” he remarked with a cold tone. “I purposely asked for a big tub to just make sure that the two of us will fit in it together.” She sighed, not tearing her gaze away from him as she regained her composure. Seeing him smirk she forced herself to get comfortable as he spoke. “That’s more like it. You said it yourself that no one forced you into marrying me. Instead, you offered and volunteered yourself willingly for it, so I expect that you’ll be confident enough to share a bath with your husband,” Nikolai confidently stated. “After all, we’ll do more than this soon enough.” Shameless… Preventing herself from rolling her eyes, she managed to give him a smile as she said, “Don’t blame me if you die on me then.” **** Note: Volume 1: Main Story Status - Completed (Chapters 1 to 403) Volume 2: Side Story Status - Completed (Chapters 404 to 472) Volume 3: Side Story Status - Completed (Chapters 473 to 491) **** PS: Commissioned Book Cover owned by the Author!

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!
