Reyansh Malhotra never asked to inherit an empire built on blood. As the cold, calculating boss of one of the most feared crime syndicates, he only wants one thing: control. But his aging father wants a marriage alliance to secure power-and gives him a deadline. When Reyansh goes to collect a debt, the terrified debtor offers something unforgivable: his 19-year-old son, Aarav. Quiet, sweet-faced, and smiling shyly behind trembling lashes. Reyansh accepts out of strategy, not compassion. Marriage solves his problem. But the mansion reveals a truth Reyansh hadn't prepared for. Aarav is nineteen in body but emotionally like a 4-year-old-cheerful, trusting, stubborn, pure in a world made of knives. He hums nursery rhymes while exploring marble corridors, calls Reyansh "Uncle" at first, then adorably corrects himself with "Patidev ji", unaware of the weight of the word. He cries when thunder booms, hides behind curtains when strangers shout, and gifts Reyansh crayon drawings as "contract payments." The mafia boss who has ordered deaths without blinking suddenly finds himself learning how to: hold tiny trembling hands during panic attacks sit through animated movies and bedtime stories protect a fragile soul from a world that would break him But the mafia world isn't forgiving. Rumors spread. Enemies see weakness. Loyalties fracture. Reyansh has to choose-treat Aarav as a burden, a shield, a pawn...or something devastatingly dangerous to a man like him. Slowly, Reyansh stops being "the monster who owns him" and becomes the protector who loves him. The boy who laughs at butterflies becomes the only light in Reyansh's darkness. But as buried truths surface-about why Aarav is like this, about his past, about who broke him-the world they've built trembles. Can a mafia king learn gentleness? Can he love someone who lives in innocence while swimming in sin? And when enemies want Aarav, will Reyansh save him as a responsibility. or as the most important person in his life?

#1 under Lycan Tag on 27/06/2020 #1 under Ultra Tag on 28/06/2020 Kaya never wanted to move to Torent, a small town far away from her mom. Starting at a new school, Near her Dad and new step family. It sucks to be the new kid, but when you already have at least one new friend, you can hope to survive. However that takes a turn for the worst when she kisses Azian, a boy who seems too beautiful to be human and ultimately finds herself trapped in a world of magic, curses, spells and.....Legion. **TRAILER INSIDE** THIS IS BOOK 2 OF AZIAN PRINCE OF DRAGONS. **** I'm going to be truthful..this is a good book minus all the none editing and stuff and it was a great idea at the time. You will enjoy this book even though it isn't edited. However, this was just a rough outline of a growing idea, and the whole this realm to that realm isn't where I should have headed with this book (though everyone seems to love it). This is the mate, lycan version of Azian prince of dragons..a very rough rough version and unedited. It is being rewritten and will give it a major turn around to be more like a game of thrones, way of kings novel than a remix of a twighlight thing so yeah.. Feel free to read this version but know I will put up the sample of the other version Kings Of Earth and Fire very soon.. Just vote. Comment and follow!

(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: This book is historical fantasy fiction. In this story, romance only develops when characters are 18+. Any earlier dynamics are purely guardian protectiveness and are not romantic.
