Broken ✓
❝Destiny brought dark and light together, fate brought them love❞ Abused and broken Katia has been through hell and made it back alive. A true warrior. The scars she wears prove her strength. She fights demons every single day. There is no safe place for her. Not in her home and not in her very own mind. A small town surrounded by forest is her home town, the town she grew up in. No one has made it into that forest and lived to tell the tale. Katia feels drawn to that forest and her dreams are affected with this mysterious forest, and the black furred wolf with green eyes that burn into her soul. That forest may look normal on the outside, but once you are on the inside it is far from normal. Beasts roam the forest. Not just any beats. Shape shifters. Werewolves. People who can transform into wolves whenever they please. Katia doesn't find a reason to live, but inside that forest is someone who does. Someone who wishes to chance the way she looks at herself. With his love she might become better than she was. And see the strength she holds. But that has to happen before it becomes to late. The clock is ticking.... ⚠️!!!WARNING STORY CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, ABUSE, SELF HARM, RAPE AND SUICIDE.

He's Not Hers (Yandere Sorcerer X Yandere Knight Male Reader)
Inspired by "Le Mal Sorcier" by Amatsuki and the dark fairytale themes of "Hansel and Gretel." He swore to protect the princess. He never thought he'd be the one needing protection. (M/n), a noble knight bound by oath and honor, has one mission: protect the future queen. The kingdom loves her. He adores her. The problem? She's already engaged. To him. Hansel, the kingdom's mysterious court sorcerer, is her betrothed by royal decree but his eyes never leave the knight. Gentle words, cold hands, and a smile that never reaches his eyes; Hansel isn't just powerful. He's obsessed. What begins as a quiet pining spirals into a possessive hunger. As (M/n) struggles with his growing guilt over his love for the princess, he fails to notice the one behind the throne pulling the strings. The man is casting spells not on the battlefield but on his heart. "You protect her out of duty. I want you out of love. If I can't have the knight... then no one will."
The Hollow Prince
COMPLETED. *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.Complete
