Rain fell, wetting the mountain path and causing the rocks to become slick. Thunder rumbled somewhere in the distance, accompanying a previous flash. A soaked figure trudged along in the downpour, sure-footed and hidden by a dark black cloak. Twin swords hung at their side along with a bow strapped to their back with a full quiver of elvish arrows. A satchel hung across their chest, holding very few things. Some bandages and medicine, a change of clothes, rope and a single piece of paper marked with the King of Mirkwood wax symbol. A contract of employment one could say. A love story based during The Lord of the Rings. I do not own anything but my own characters (Sîrion) and any changes to the plot. J.R.R Tolkein was a genius and his world is much too interesting to not write about.

I couldn't see him that well from this angle, but I could tell he dressed expensively. He wore nice dress pants with a white dress shirt with rolled up sleeves. The watch on his hand shinned, like it was made from little diamonds. I squinted my eyes, looking closer to see his face. He had groomed facial hair, and thick eyebrows. He had light brown hair. He looked older, maybe around his late thirties. Who he was, I didn't know? My mom and dad barely brought over any of their friends. The man crossed his arms. He rose his chin and looked up, right at me like he sensed me there. He raised his eyebrow at me. For a moment we just stared at each other. I wanted to figure out who he was, and he was probably doing the same. Finally, he gave me a smile....

STORY SUMMARY In the heart of Italy, feared mafia boss Alessandro De Luca is moments away from marrying the Indian bride chosen for him-an arrangement meant to unite two powerful families. But disaster strikes when the bride runs away on the morning of the ceremony. To save face, avoid scandal, and maintain their long-standing alliance, the bride's panic-stricken parents make a desperate decision: They offer their younger son instead. Enter Aarav Sharma - a sweet, soft-spoken, chaotic cinnamon roll who got dragged straight from his room into a wedding sherwani. He doesn't understand mafia politics. He's terrified of guns. And he's so innocent that he thinks Italy is spelled "Itely". But he agrees for his family. 💍 The Wedding of Chaos After the hasty marriage, Alessandro takes Aarav to the De Luca mansion. The first words he says: "This wedding is just to protect my prestige. You don't have to act like my wife or husband. Understand?" Aarav nods calmly. "I know, Mr." Alessandro raises an eyebrow. "Oh? And how?" Aarav says with complete innocence: "Cause my dad always said there was Ram and Sita... not Ram and Ravan." Alessandro stares. Aarav continues cheerfully: "I mean, it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." The mafia mansion goes silent. The boss wonders what kind of creature he has married. Bit by bit, Alessandro falls: The boy calls him "Mr. Boss" instead of husband. He trusts Alessandro blindly. He smiles even while scared. He hugs Alessandro like a koala when he hears thunder. A man made of ice... Starts melting. The arranged, forced, prestige-saving marriage slowly turns into: Soft love. Dangerous devotion. Aarav becomes the one person who can calm the beast inside Alessandro. But enemies quickly learn the boss has a weakness now: a precious, innocent boy who doesn't know how lovable he is. Now Alessandro must protect his unexpected husband... Even if it means burning down the entire mafia world.

(Completed) A blind prince was never meant to be chosen. A demon king was never meant to love. In an ancient empire where sacrifices keep the world intact, Lian Feng is offered to the underworld, not because he is powerful, but because no one believes he is useful. Blind, gentle, and devoted to his plants, he expects his fate to be quiet, brief, and forgotten. Instead, the Demon King chooses him. Feared by gods and mortals alike, the towering ruler of the underworld claims Lian as his bride and refuses to give him back. What begins as a ritual sacrifice becomes something far more dangerous: a bond forged through trust, tenderness, and quiet defiance. As Lian learns to navigate a realm of shadows through sound, scent, and intuition, he discovers that monsters are not always cruel, and that being held by one might be the safest place of all. With jealous demon lords, ancient prophecies, spirit guardians, and a love powerful enough to shake entire realms, To Be Held by a Monster is a dark fantasy BL romance about choosing softness in a world that worships fear. ⚠️ Note: In this book, romance only develops when characters are 18+.

He lost everything once. He never expected to find a family again-let alone love. When Achilles Grimalkin, the last of a witching bloodline, is called to witness for the Cullens, he expects only danger and duty. Instead, he finds himself drawn into the orbit of two Quileute wolves-Embry Call and Seth Clearwater-whose imprint bond ties them all together in ways he doesn't yet understand. Haunted by grief, wary of trust, Achilles resists. But the firelight of the pack, the warmth of the Cullens, and the relentless devotion of two boys who refuse to let him stand alone begin to unravel his walls. Set against the backdrop of Breaking Dawn Part 2, this is a story of hearth and howl, of chosen family, of grief and healing, of kisses stolen in the forest and confessions whispered at campfires. Slow burn. Found family. Poly romance. Witchcraft woven through werewolves. A love story about choosing each other-again and again.
