Craved by the Wrong Volkov

(trigger warning. This book contains mature themes) ****** "I can't..." she gasped between broken moans, her voice trembling somewhere between pain and pleasure. Every thrust seemed to blur the line between surrender and defiance. Then she whispered a name between her sweet cries ...it wasn’t mine. I froze. A slow, humorless smile curved my lips as the sound of his name filled the space between us. “Raph…” she breathed. I leaned in, my mouth brushing her ear. Feeling her tremble from touch until my teeth nibbled her earlobes hard enough to make her whimper and her fold to clench around my fingers. “Wrong name, Lynn.” I hissed, withdrawing from the warmth of her insides. I felt her body tense. She clawed at my shoulders, a desperate plea in every touch. “Don’t…” she whimpered. Those jade-like eyes unravelled me that moment. I could feel the ache in my trousers. A troublesome little viper. A cruel smile traced my lips hiding my emotions. “You called the wrong name,” I murmured, my voice low, dangerous. “And bad girls deserve to be punished.” Her glossy eyes met mine... so full of confusion, want, and power she didn’t yet understand. If she only knew how close I was to breaking. Because the only name she should be calling… was mine. Lucien. I craved it as badly as the air I breathe. ****** For better or for worse, till death do us part. That was their vows at the altar, but he broke them first.. He claims an open marriage is the solution to their childless marriage and that it's to protect her own interests. But all Braelyn sees is a prison built from guilt and lies. One heartbroken night, she stumbles into a karaoke bar and into the arms of Lucien. A man shrouded in mystery, rebellion, and danger. His very presence tells her to run but it also gives her the solace she craved. She never expected to see him again after she ran, forgetting his sinful existence, but life wasn't done making a joke out of her. Lucien isn't just any man, but one who can destroy everything she believes in. The man she was never meant to meet. Her husband's uncle The black sheep of the Volkov dynasty. A man whose desire will ruin her. Lucien knows she can't be his, but he was never a man who respected social norms. He doesn't care about anything but her every sin and touch. All he wants… is her, no matter how sinful it gets.

Love After Blood

Vancouver. A city drenched in rain, neon, and secrets. Amid its cold skyline, Liam Thomas, a man drowning in heartbreak and moral exhaustion, steps into an elevator one night —and into the beginning of his own damnation. What begins as an evening of blurred whiskey and borrowed desire turns into horror when he witnesses the impossible: a woman of ethereal beauty feeding on the throat of his friend. Her name is Anna Viktorie, though that is only the name she uses among humans. In truth, she is Alessia Zlata, a creature as old as sin, her existence written in centuries of blood and silence. From that night forward, Liam’s life fractures. The world calls him a murderer. The police brand him a liar. His girlfriend abandons him. Only his therapist, Dr. Miroslava Novak, listens—though her calm gaze hides knowledge far older than psychology should allow. Haunted by visions, dreams, and whispers, Liam begins to feel her presence inside him, as if the echo of Anna’s hunger has left a mark deeper than flesh. Yet in that haunting, something begins to shift. Fear turns to obsession. Obsession becomes longing. Anna, drawn to the pulse of his blood and the purity of his defiance, breaks her own code to return to him. Under a new guise—Valery, the mysterious woman who “works nights”—she reenters his life like a ghost wearing perfume. Their meetings are accidental at first, wrapped in the innocent rhythm of conversation, music, and city lights. But each encounter brings her closer to the edge between love and hunger. As Liam fights to rebuild his ruined life, he cannot escape her shadow. Every mirror hides her reflection; every silence carries her breath. And though he senses the danger, he cannot stop seeking her—because in her darkness he recognizes his own. Their bond becomes a pact of blood and desire, one that defies nature itself. Anna’s hunger is no longer merely for blood but for the echo of humanity she thought she had lost. And Liam’s need for her becomes both his punishment and his salvation. Together, they walk the line between redemption and ruin, bound by a passion so deep it threatens to consume what remains of their souls. But others are watching. Miroslava, the enigmatic doctor with eyes like green frost, knows what Anna truly is—and what she is running from. The vampire world does not forgive affection; it devours it. And in the dark corners of Vancouver’s rain-drenched nights, ancient forces stir, sensing that one of their own has broken the oldest of laws: to love a mortal. Love After the Blood is a dark romance that blends passion, guilt, and the supernatural into a story of forbidden love and eternal hunger. A tale where every heartbeat is a confession, every kiss a wound, and where love itself becomes the most dangerous addiction of all.

Sovereign Devotion

In a world ruled by wealth, power, and intelligence, Anastasia Raventhorn Vasiliev is untouchable. The sole heir of the 1st and 3rd richest families in the world, she is a goddess in both beauty and mind—a cruel angel whose very existence commands reverence. The world bows at her feet, yet she walks it alone, indifferent to the love and admiration of countless suitors. For her, emotions are a game, and life is a battlefield where only the strong survive. And then, there is Vincent Blackwood. The second son of the 2nd richest family, he was born to rule but willingly abandoned his throne. An unfathomable genius, a rising star, and the son of the world’s most ruthless mafia king, he could have had everything—except the one thing he truly wanted. Anastasia. He loved her to the point of madness, but love was never enough. He chased, he worshipped, he bled for her. And still, she remained untouched, distant, looking down at him as though he were nothing but an afterthought. Yet Vincent was never meant to be second. Not in life, not in power, and certainly not in her heart. If she would not come to him, then he would shatter the world until she had no choice but to see him. If she refused to be his, then he would become hers—mind, body, and soul. He would break himself, ruin himself, lose everything… until she could no longer deny that he belonged to her. But when a god falls for a goddess, is it love… or is it war? "Sovereign Devotion"—a tale of obsession, power, and a love that defies fate itself.

Christmas Lights

Artis Hart never expected to see Ethan Brewer again. On Christmas Eve in 2009, they nearly had something. But it ended before it began. Now eight years later, when an accident lands Artis in the hospital and Ethan at her bedside, old feelings resurface quickly and so do the doubts that tore them apart. He remembers the way things ended. She remembers the hurt. Neither of them is sure if the timing is finally right, or if history is about to repeat itself. Told through dual perspectives and timelines, Christmas Lights traces the fragile line between first love and second chances. Artis and Ethan must decide whether the bond they once shared can survive the truth of who they’ve become. +++ Hii, Kai here. So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.

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?

Addicted to you

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.

The Tyrant's Stolen Bride

Lucas Arden lost the woman he loved because he trusted the wrong person—his secretary, whose lies poisoned his heart against Lyra Ashford. A day before their wedding, he left for an “urgent business”, deciding to postpone their marriage without even asking her, believing she would wait for his return. To Lyra, that was the final wound. She ended the relationship, refusing to be the only one fighting for their love. But fate had other plans. To save her family from humiliation, Lyra agreed to marry the man her family chose—Rowan Pierce, her unexpected savior... and Lucas’s greatest rival. ++++++++++++++++++ [Excerpt of Chapter 01] Lyra struggling to catch her breath as she gave the driver the directions. Tears slipped down her cheeks, and she quickly wiped them away with a trembling hand. She failed to notice another passenger sitting in the front of her. The man simply raised a finger—a silent gesture instructing the driver to do exactly as she said. The cab lurched forward, speeding away into the night, while the man's lips curled into a cold, amused smile as he watched his long-time rival fling his jacket to the ground in frustration. Rowan Pierce, a man in a suit, sat quietly as Lyra's soft sobs filled the cab, drifting through the air like a mournful song. He said nothing, having already witnessed the scene unfold. Lyra gazed out the window, hoped the passing cityscape might ease the weight on her chest. Every part of her loved him, yet that same love was what broke her heart when things went wrong. Her thoughts were a tangled mess, and the urge to scream clawed at her throat—but then she remembered she was still in the cab. So she punched the seat in front of her as hard as she could, treating it like a makeshift punching bag. Rowan didn't feel much from the blow, but he did raise a brow—apparently, his seat had just become her therapist.
