ANCHOR OF HEARTS

[Slow Burn Romance & Mature Contents] Living behind a carefully crafted disguise, Selina once believed she had finally grasped the dream she had yearned for: marrying the man she had admired from a distance. She envisioned a life filled with joy and love, a fairy tale where he would sweep her off her feet and transform her world. But as the years rolled by, Selina's reality shattered under the weight of Zane’s cold indifference. For two long years, she devoted herself silently, only to be blindsided by a harsh truth—she was merely a pawn in Zane’s plans. Devastation washed over her as she buried her feelings deep inside, vowing to take control of her own life once and for all. Just when she believed she could finally break free, fate dealt her another blow—she discovered she was pregnant with Zane’s child. Determined, Selina embarked on a journey of self-discovery, rising higher than those expectations from those who looked down on her, but she couldn't have a taste of a peaceful, single life. However, Zane is relentless in not letting her go, no matter the cost. He is determined to win her back. But, this time, Selina isn't the same person who'd risk her heart to be trampled on. This time she's different and wants nothing to do with him. ...... Excerpt. “I need to start bonding with my child—from now, not later,” he said, his voice carrying a quiet honesty, laced with a subtle yearning. Selina’s frown deepened at his excuse. “That’s not a problem. You’ll have plenty of time once the baby’s born.” Her tone was cold—steady as ice. “Until then, stop coming to me unexpectedly.” “I don’t want to wait.” His gaze hardened, then softened again. “You’re carrying my child, Selina. Don’t shut me out. I’m not asking for intimacy… please.” But for Zane, it wasn’t just about bonding with his unborn child. It was about finding a way back into her life. ....... AN:{I apologize for the delay in updates. And updates from the latest chapter will continue from November 10th.

Contacted Omega Loves The Beta

In a world where scent determines status and love is bound by hierarchy, Charles “Cece” Mor-Ray, a notorious yet captivating male omega, finds himself trapped in a gilded cage. To save his declining family’s name, Cece is forced into a political marriage with Liam Amburdale, an Alpha heir still haunted by the memory of his lost first love. To society, Cece is the perfect omega spouse—outwardly—by all means, beautiful, high fertility, and from a decently high social status. But beneath the silk and smiles, his heart beats for another: Dave González, Liam’s stoic and fiercely loyal beta bodyguard. Betas aren’t supposed to feel the pull of pheromones, much less sense an omega’s heat—but Dave does. Against all natural order, Cece’s scent calls to him like home, and Dave’s quiet devotion awakens something in Cece he thought he’d lost long ago—safety, warmth, and genuine affection. As weeks turn into months, Cece and Dave’s forbidden intimacy deepens, hidden behind the mansion’s closed doors and the shadow of Liam’s lingering guilt. But Dave isn’t what he seems. There’s something off about how he reacts to Cece—something raw and animalistic beneath his beta façade. When old secrets about phenomenon mutations and suppressed dominance resurface, the delicate balance of their lives threatens to shatter. Now, Cece must navigate a world where love defies biology, loyalty becomes treason, and scent itself may rewrite destiny. Will he cling to the obligation of the contract he signed, or surrender to the one man who smells like freedom?

Surrendered To The Lord Of Sin

How would a wolf birth a witch and a witch wed the Devil’s Bone? Lucrezia Bathory has lived as an outcast from her pack until married to the rumored Devil’s Incarnate of Dreadwyn. A land built on souls of the dead and the throne of human bones—an ugly creature of the dark with sharp fangs, claws, and a monstrous form—known to eat the flesh of the innocent, and drink the marrow of the wicked. To protect her family and House Bathory, Lucrezia carries the cross as sacrifice to prove her birthright. But who knew the creature wedded wasn't as described in the tome as ‘ugly’ but a Sin destined to lure her astray. A Daydream disguised as a Nightmare, and a Nightmare of many colors. *** EXCERPT “You want to know what I want?” He stepped forward, pinning her gaze deep into his bright hazel eyes, reminding her sanity she just treaded the wrong question. When he drew closer, she stepped back, heart drumming loud that its rhythmic sound replaced the sudden silence sealed with heat, until the back of her legs hit the table behind, taking her weight along its surface. Gods… she was only wearing a silk night gown, and the windows were perfectly closed, hearth warm enough against the cold yet she was burning. “I can’t breathe, Lucreiza,” He pronounced her name like a sinful prayer, and she gulped, her mouth almost hanging from delusion. “I can't breathe because you’re fucking me with your scent. I’m going crazy with every passing second I breathe, and seeing you like this, utterly bare, makes me want to make you beg.” It was so short, but she could feel every power, every restrian, every pleasure, just by words alone. How insane can it drive her, were determined by her reaction. Unknown emotions she has never felt before, emotions that heated and chilled her all at the same time. A gasp escaped her lips when he pressed closer, and her legs parted unconsciously, conceding to his unexpressed demand. Now she was pinned in between the body of a monster. One whom she should fear, but felt… expectation? He leaned in and she stuttered a breath, throwing her head back as his fangs grazed her skin in a manner that’s supposed to make her crawl. Run. But instead, it made her desperate. “You don't know even half of what I want, half of what I need.” At this point, Lucreiza’s mind was a totally mess that nothing else registered apart from what he was doing to her. “I’m not just the monster you should fear, witch. I’m the Devil you should deny,” That was the thing… she couldn’t reject him. Fear him. Stir clear. Run. Nothing else made sense to her apart from the burning flames in her chest, the one she never knew when exactly it transpired. The world seemed to cease when she opened her mouth and uttered the damnation, that even the heavens screamed warning from above. “Y-yes,” she whispered, voice hanging from ecstasy. “M-Make me b-beg,” PS: MATURED CONTENT. #webnovel

Petals Before the Dawn

Kyoto never sleeps. It hums—a restless animal of politics, money, and secrets. And in the Hanabira Teahouse, where weak men come to pretend they have power, one woman owns the room without ever pretending. Ren. Men don’t come to see her beauty. They come to be defeated by it. Every step is a challenge. Every glance, a dare. Her laugh slashes through conversations like a blade dipped in perfume. She is the lotus that refused to drown in mud. Years ago, a child sat beside the Shirakawa River waiting for parents who never returned. A game of hide and seek, they said. The silence that followed carved something feral into her bones. Silence is erasure. Silence is death. So Ren learned to survive by being impossible to ignore. Tonight, the teahouse glows with lanterns and gold-painted illusions. The air reeks of sake, incense, and desperation. Ren lounges on the raised platform, dripping in silk and arrogance, entertaining lords who laugh too loudly at jokes she doesn’t bother to finish. She controls the room with noise, wit, and spectacle. Then the door slides open. A man enters—silent. Not timid. Not intimidated. Just silent. Captain Kageyama. A soldier who carries war in his posture and exhaustion in his eyes. He moves like a man who has seen too many bodies and feels nothing about it anymore. Ren targets him immediately. He doesn’t even look at her. Instead, he walks past the hurricane of colors and selects Haru, the quiet girl by the corner. Haru bows timidly, flustered. Ren’s smile freezes. "He ignored me." For the first time in years, Ren feels the cold sting of invisibility. Her heart hammers with an old, unwelcome fear — the riverside silence. She refuses to let that happen again. Fine. If the soldier wants peace, she will invade it. If he wants silence, she will shatter it. Because no one ignores Ren. Not without consequence.
