In a kingdom where beauty and power dictate worth, Princess Evelyne has always been the forgotten one. Overshadowed by her radiant sisters, dismissed by her own family, and treated as nothing more than an afterthought, she has learned to live in the shadows-silent, invisible, and aching for something more. But when the feared and ruthless Dark King arrives to choose a bride, no one expects him to spare Evelyne a second glance. He is a man of legend-shrouded in mystery, draped in power, and said to have a heart as cold as the night itself. The court watches, breathless, as he surveys the dazzling princesses before him. And then, he chooses her. Whispers ripple through the halls. Shock turns to outrage. Why would the Dark King-a man who could have anyone-claim the overlooked, unwanted daughter? But as Evelyne is whisked away to his shadowed kingdom, she begins to uncover the truth. The Dark King sees what no one else ever has-her strength, her resilience, the fire beneath the quiet. And in his arms, beneath the weight of his intense gaze, Evelyne is no longer invisible. She is his. But as darkness looms and enemies gather, Evelyne must decide-will she forever remain the forgotten princess, or will she rise as the Dark Queen, feared and revered beside the man who saw her worth when no one else did?

"I've been taught that girls have no value, and he's the only one who assures me that I do." Soleil is a girl. A young woman. A female. She couldn't hate it more, because in her society that cursed gender makes her expendable. The war that was wrought on Earth years ago destroyed society, and men almost went extinct. Repopulation is the propriety, even if it means marrying a man with 8 other wives to become a baby making machine. When she meets an enormous alien man through a window, she slowly comes to realize that she is meant for more. She sneaks away every night after that to meet him, finding herself falling for all 7 feet of him.... even if she can't understand a thing that he says. Fray has come from Rytaria to collect human females, the salvation of his race. As soon as he meets his precious Soleil, he knows he has to have her. Little does she know that Fray will do whatever it takes to make her his mate, and he will worship the very ground she walks on.

October I loved him with everything I had. From the moment I was a teenager scribbling his name in my notebooks, to the nights I waited up for him with cold dinners and colder silences. He was my first everything-my husband, the father of my children, the quiet love of my life. I built our world with devotion, patience, and hope. But love isn't always enough, especially when you're competing with someone who seems to get the version of him you used to dream of. I told myself he'd remember me. That one day he'd see me again. But the truth is, he already looked away-months ago. And I let it happen. Until my children saw it too. Until I couldn't unsee it.

Rankings 1st in Min Yoongi 1st in Kim Taehyung 3rd in BTS 2nd in Soulmate Ever since Taehyung found his soulmate, Meera, Yoongi sometimes wondered what it would be like to have a soulmate. When Jae bumps into him in the lift, all his assumptions of how he thought it would be are shattered. It is entirely different, far from what he imagined and too intense. For someone as introverted, shy and laid back as him, Jae is his polar opposite. She is energetic, extroverted to the core and has the ability to talk non-stop. She is Yin to his yang, his soulmate for life, bound to him by the red string of fate. Let's read to find out how they make the journey from complete strangers to lovers while navigating twists and turns like stalkers, threats, and the chaotically extraordinary life that BTS has. Though this is the second story in the series of 'Soulmates' you can read it as a standalone. If you are interested in the first one, "Bound by touch' which is Taehyung and Meera's story, you can find it on my profile. The concept of Red string of fate is insprired from the Chinese myth of Red string that ties destined lovers. The concept of soulmates needing skin contact to heal/ recharge is inspired from fanfiction by author fallencairns on AO3. The writer in turn was inspired and used the concept of skin contact recharge/healing from some other author. So I acknowledge and credit the idea/ concept to the original creator. Other than that, the story and characters are my work and I hope no one steals it. If you get inspired by this story or want to write something similar, please ask and give credits where they are due.
