Jungle Stories

To the world, he is a Beast. To the world, she is a Ghost. To a baby, they are everything. Rudra doesn't do "gentle." He is a storm of iron and cold calculation, a man whose presence usually clears a room. Anshika is his polar opposite-a woman of soft whispers and averted eyes, someone who has spent her life staying out of the spotlight. They were strangers until a blood-soaked promise tied them together. When a dying couple entrusts them with a ten-month-old infant, the instruction is chillingly clear: Do not trust the bloodline. Protect him from everyone. To save the child from a war he's too young to understand, Rudra and Anshika must commit to the ultimate masquerade. They aren't just protectors; they are now parents. In the glittering boardrooms of Bangalore and the crowded halls of elite weddings, they must convince the world that the child in their arms is their own. For Rudra, it means suppressing the lethal beast within to play the part of a devoted father. For Anshika, it means stepping out of the shadows to stand as the shield for a family that didn't exist yesterday. As they navigate bottle-feedings by night and high-stakes secrets by day, the lie begins to feel dangerously real. But in a world where the child's true identity is a death warrant, they must play their parts perfectly. Because if the world discovers that this "perfect family" is a fiction, the massacre they survived in the valley will only be the beginning. One lie to save him. One promise to hold them together. A thousand secrets that could tear them apart.

Tairn never imagined that after centuries of battles, bloodshed, and survival, his greatest wound would not come from an enemy. It would come from the dragon he loved. When Sgaeyl chooses to cross into Venin territory alongside Xaden Riorson, chasing answers that may change the fate of Navarre forever, she leaves behind more than a kingdom. She leaves behind her mate. As whispers of betrayal spread across the dragon world and old alliances begin to fracture, Tairn is forced to confront a pain he has spent centuries believing himself immune to. Angry, abandoned, and haunted by memories of a bond he thought unbreakable, the mighty black dragon finds himself standing at the edge of a loneliness deeper than any battlefield. But fate is not finished with him. Far beyond the borders of Navarre, in a forgotten kingdom untouched by war, lives Princess Revati-a woman burdened by secrets of her own and connected to ancient dragon lore long lost to history. What begins as an unlikely friendship soon becomes a journey of healing, self-discovery, and second chances. Because even dragons can have their hearts broken. And sometimes, even dragons deserve to be loved again. *A fanfiction set in the world of The Empyrean Series.
