How many lives must be ruined to create a "hero"? Empress Calypso Berenice lived and died as an unwritten footnote, the forgotten wife of the male lead, executed by a villain to further a plot she didn't even know she was in. But when a near-death experience in a frozen lake shatters her reality, she awakens with the memories of Park Hanbyeol, a modern-day music producer who once read Calypso's life as a tragic novel and hated every word of it. The world has reset, and the main characters have returned with their memories intact, ready to resume their bloody path to glory. But there's a glitch in the narrative: the "extra" has come back, too. Calypso was never meant to be part of the story, let alone remember it. Now, armed with the knowledge of a future that discarded her, she must navigate a court of vengeful protagonists and power-hungry leads. If the story demands her ruin to make the heroes shine, Calypso is ready to tear out the pages and write a masterpiece of her own. *** Featured in: @WattpadDarkFantasy @WattpadTimeTravel @WattpadAlternateUniverse @anime @WattpadAsianFantasy @StoriesUndiscovered @WattpadHistoricalRomance @Fantasy @lowfantasy @HistoricalFiction *** WARNING: This story is mature due to the heavy topic such as mental health, trauma, etc, so please read with caution.

Anyone caught with any robotic implants were sent to the Helion prison complex, and purged from normal society. Even those who used to serve humanity. One such aug, Red, imprisoned for seven years in Helion dreams of escape. Initially recalled and stripped of his command of Aphelion, he dreams of escape which begins to shape into a reality when a new augment is dropped into the facility.

The world is frozen. The wolves are supposed to be extinct. Akira Tsukino knows both are lies. Hiding in human form inside the last living city, Akira has survived by staying small, quiet... and invisible. But when a reckless act exposes what he truly is, he's captured by the very nobles who wiped his kind from the world. He should have died there. Instead, a mysterious girl with silver hair and a lace-covered gaze sets him free-claiming she can lead him to Sanctuary, a place where wolves can live without fear. With hunters on their trail and the deadly White Expanse ahead, survival is no longer enough. Trust becomes dangerous. Weakness becomes deadly. And when a ruthless lone wolf crosses their path, Akira is forced to face a truth he's spent his life avoiding: In a world built to destroy him... he may not be strong enough to survive it.

[Arranged Marriage • Age Gap • Slow Burn] Elisabeth Arden is the eldest daughter of one of the most powerful werewolf dynasties in America, the family that has ruled the vast territory of Los Angeles for generations. To keep their bloodline pure, the Ardens have always formed alliances through arranged marriages with other pure-blood werewolves. So when her grandfather, the patriarch of the family, announces that Elisabeth will marry Richard Dawson, the son of the Alpha who rules Northern California, she accepts without hesitation. Even though she is only nineteen, she was raised for this moment and is ready to do her part for the good of her family. Richard Dawson, however, is cold and unreadable, the kind of man who never lets anyone see what he thinks, what he wants, or what he feels. In a world ruled by power, loyalty, and blood, love has never been part of the agreement. But Elisabeth is determined to prove that even a marriage born from duty can become something more. Although the man she married seems to hide his heart behind an impenetrable wall.

In a kingdom governed by threes and traditions reaching back to the very Founder, Calla must navigate the Accords and her own loyalties. Once dismissed as an outsider, she rises within the Krillian court's careful cruelty, the King's favor finding her more than some believe it should. Ares Valebrand, her shadow and sentinel, gathers half-lies and hidden knowledge, building the steps she climbs toward power. Yet as Calla grows more entangled in the politics of the rival courts, whispers turn to screams inside of her, and her body bears marks she cannot fully remember. Symbols that feel less like scars and more like pleads. Note: Please let me know your thoughts in the comments!!! It is very appreciated. I love this story.
