She did not expect to live for very long. Her heart was dying after all. But, after logging into Yggdrasil to see it for the last time before the servers shut down, she wakes up to find herself still in the game. Only, everyone is acting more alive than their programming allows. So now, in a new body that doesn't hurt anymore, she just want to live and enjoy her new life with her friends in Nazarick. Her other body was dying along with her old home anyway. She has no reason to want to go back. (I do not own Overlord or the characters except for Astraeus.)

"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.

"Just listen, Hunter. I'm Penelope Herrick, you don't answer a damn phone call while I'm naked on top of you. And maybe you shouldn't have marked me if you weren't ready to give me all of your attention." I shrugged. It didn't take long for him to slam me against the wall, pinning me with his ungodly strong body. "You've got my attention, now, little mate." he growled against my neck, his hot breath against my mark making me squirm. And then suddenly, I came to the realization that Hunter was far easier to deal with when I did what he said. "Sometimes I think you start arguments just to start them," he chuckled a bit. I leaned my head up to press my lips against his and put my hands on his shoulders. Soon, he began kissing me back. By the time I broke the kiss he was no longer forcefully holding me to the wall, but he had carried me down the hall to the couch. "Yeah, maybe I do." ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Alpha's daughter Penelope is used to getting whatever she wants, when and where she wants it. But what will happen when she meets her mate, and he's an Alpha even more powerful than her father?

"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days. And you're going to love it." ---------- Thea Brooks, an 18-year-old college student, lives her life by a schedule.
