Merlara questions if she should tell him the truth of who she is and Cerus has secrets of his own. As Merlara grapples with her feelings, her loyalty is tested as she finds herself caught in a web of deceit, power struggles, and ancient magic. Can she save her kingdom and her newfound love, or will she be the ultimate sacrifice in a game of thrones and dragons?

Anastasya is an assassin, an advanced super soldier created by HYDRA in WWII, alongside James Barnes. But her life gets a different turn than his; she wakes up after being in ice for decades and, luckily for everyone, Tony Stark finds her first when she returns to the mainland. Her biggest problem, with all the problems that come with Thanos wanting to kill half of all living creatures, is getting control over her emotions. The man who helps her understand the importance of allowing yourself to feel is Steve Rogers, with who she develops a special connection. But what happens if, after all they did to prevent it, she does get activated again? Will The Avengers have to face two remaining Winter Soldiers at once? Or can they get through the hard core of The Soldiers and tame their spirits before it's too late, before the fight of their lives? • • timeline is set before Avengers: Infinity War • there is usually a video at the beginning of every chapter for the ~vibe~ • I do not own or pretend to own Marvel's characters, plots, buildings etc. © cover by me ⚠ disclaimer: this story is mature, it contains graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, strong language, mental illnesses and other mature themes ⚠ have in mind: I have no idea if this book would make sense considering all Marvel's 'rules' about powered people, winter soldiers, time travel etc. I just came up with this idea, decided to write it down and here we are :)

"I don't want your crown," he murmured, "just the parts of you you've never given away." He kissed her like he meant it. Lied to her like he didn't. ⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎ Once upon a time, in the mist-laced hills of the Gilded Kingdom, a princess was born - not merely to rule, but to become the greatest queen Aurelia had ever known. Raised behind the palace walls she was taught to walk with grace, speak with poise, and bury herself in the ancient tomes of the Great Library. But what becomes of a princess who dreams not of silk gowns, but steel blades? Who craves not a throne beside a king, but the freedom to forge her own fate? When the time comes to select her consort through the age-old contest, Lydia finds herself suffocating in a world of masks and manners. Among the peacocks of polished nobility that now swarm her home, she must navigate deception, ambition, and perhaps, the stirrings of something far more dangerous than politics. As snow falls red upon the palace grounds, whispers stir from the far reaches of the world. The Nine Kingdoms are rising. And destiny - long buried in blood and prophecy - begins to awaken. Lydia's path will lead her to a choice that could shatter her crown, her heart, and the very foundations of her realm. Her hand is at stake. The prize is her kingdom. Because when fairytales end... only steel remains. #1 of The Gilded Kingdom series

☆ SLOW BURN • DARK ROMANCE ☆ 〜 They burned her kingdom to ash. Now she sleeps beneath the roof of its conqueror. Clarice, last princess of Sahradyn, was meant to die with her family. Instead, she was spared, dragged across enemy lines and locked in a tower by the man who shattered her world. King Caelen of Velmoras is cold, calculating, and ruthless. He offers her only one choice: become his concubine, or rot in the tower. Yet even as Clarice plots her survival, something stirs between them. A pull. A thread. The old texts call it the soul-thread: a bond said to bind enemies as often as lovers, rare and perilous, long dismissed as myth. But Clarice feels it now, in every glance, every silence, every clash of wills with the man she should hate above all others. As war brews on the borders and kingdoms begin to fracture, Clarice must decide whether the thread binding her to Caelen is a curse to be severed, or a weapon powerful enough to change the fate of empires.

"What are you doing here?" I gulped at the hoarse voice. Instead of replying, I stared at Maria's corpse lying on the floor. "You smell so sweet." I hear him speak licking his lips. He did next what I was being afraid of, he closed the remaining distance by stepping ahead and held my waist with one of his muscular arm while the other swept the hair to the side exposing my bare neck. I was scared to death. ________________♧♧♧_______________ In a world where humans and the supernaturals lived together, Elina's parents were killed by a mysterious vampire.
