Murtasim, a calm and responsible doctor, agrees to marry Meerab only because of family pressure. He had no faith left in love and never believed in emotional bonds. For him, this marriage was just a duty. Meerab, a bold and ambitious law student, was forced into the marriage after discovering a harsh truth about her life-one that shook her world and left her with no choice. To protect themselves, they sign a secret contract with clear rules: no physical relationship, no interference, and no emotional expectations. They live under the same roof, but like strangers. Murtasim tries to stay away, while Meerab focuses on her dream of becoming a lawyer. But as time passes, unexpected moments and growing tension begin to test their limits. Can a marriage built on pressure and rules turn into something real? Or will they forever remain strangers, bound only by a contract?

"Ya main jeet jayunga ya woh haar jayegi." Murtasim Khan, a feudal lord and business tycoon, is investigated for criminal activity when his business accounts are flagged for suspicious transactions. In the pursuit of clearing his name, Murtasim vehemently decides that Meerab Ahmed, the city's most illustrious lawyer, will guide him out of the mess. Superfluous wealth and delicate trust intertwine at the most elegant soiree between two people from two different worlds. Bloody inherited land and the majestic seven seas merge into the battleground for justice ... and for love.

Qubool hai. Meerab Malik was born fiery and defiant, a sole daughter who carried all her baba's ruling genes but none of his power. Murtasim Khan, ruling the neighbouring lands, was a reckoning force. Tying their names might have been an act to bridge the families, but it invited more friction than peace.

I asked desperately. "Why? Why do you need me?" "Because without you, I have nothing!" he boomed. The truth of his words rang through my ears like a record player. He did have nothing. The Darkling could lead armies, rule over Ravka, have all the riches in the country, yet he was still alone. I struggled to find words. Then, finally I came to my senses. He deserves to be alone, I told myself. He has hurt people. Taken hundreds of lives... If that was all true, then why was there still a dagger twisting in my chest?

[DARKLINA OMEGAVERSE AU] Alina's eyes went wide as she felt his tongue invade her mouth, fighting for space, commanding it. As he devoured her with his mouth, his fascinating Alpha scent overwhelmed her, making her thoughts stop. She had never felt this way kissing Nikolai, even though he was her mate... "How dare you..." she gasped breathlessly, leaning away from him. "You had no right to touch me, I'm your queen-" "A queen who kissed me back. I know you've been feeling the same way I feel about you. I know you sense our connection, the thread that binds us..." "I am Nikolai's mate... There can be no connection between you and me..." Kirigan's smirk deepened. "Make sure that when you tell him about what I did you don't forget to mention this." or, After the death of Alexander III, King of Ravka, the throne is succeeded by his second son, Nikolai Lantsov who marries and mates the Sun Summoner Alina Starkov to strengthen his claim.

Time will do it for me" ________________________________ "All right." She did little to hide her shock. "What?" "You can go, Alina." She narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth but he cut her off before she could spew whatever distrustful comments she had planned. "You and the tracker can go and live out your merry little lives. Have your 50 years, maybe even 70 if you're lucky, and when your fantasy crumbles around you, you will see that only you and I remain. You will return to my waiting arms." ________________________________ !!! There will be SPOILERS both for the show AND the books (this includes elements from the KoS duology). !!! This fic will deal with heavy topics: war, violence, loss, grief, death, and manipulation will all be explored. There are mentions of SA and explicit dub-con scenes. The relationship between Alina and Aleksander is very much toxic throughout the story and it will for the most part remain toxic. Moreover, nothing in the story is meant to be taken at face value, rather, themes and actions were left morally grey, so to be explored and dissected by the reader. If these are themes that will trigger you or make you uncomfortable PLEASE do not engage. This is a mature story and should be treated as such, at the end of the day we are responsible for what we consume on the internet.

Divergent storyline after Alina and Mal find the stag. Alina is captured by General Kirigan, but he doesn't kill the stag immediately. There is a second chance for shadow and light. Will Alina be sucked into the darkness or will she bring Aleksander into the light? (based on Shadow and Bone tv series only).

He was born to rule; on land and high in the skies. She, it seemed, was born to reign over him. He had defied all odds in his life. She was hell-bent on deifying him. Murtasim Shahnawaz Khan's destiny had been written for him; to take over his family's ancestral seat as a feudal lord and live his life for the people. He'd altered destiny. A man of iron-clad principles, he'd silenced all who dared to question him by becoming Khan Murtasim Khan and Captain Khan simultaneously. He did his duty and indulged in his passion. Why did he have to choose one? He made the rules after all... Meerab Waqas Ahmed didn't like rules. Especially ones made to control her, or any woman for that matter. Out with the old, in with the 'whatever the hell I want to do' was the way it worked in Meerab's world. If this meant deifying family tradition to pave her own way in the world, then she was willing to pay the price for her independence. They say if you play with fire, you're bound to burn, but doesn't ice burn the warm-blooded too? Fire and ice went hand in hand, just like desire and destruction. Note: This story is not completely 'mature'. It may include parts which are mature but can be enjoyed otherwise as well. This wonderful, amazing cover is by moonshine1_ 🤍
