The beast in front turned his horse around, whipped out his sword and just quick enough for Celia to blink he severed the head from the beast clean off. Celia's eyes grew wide and she nearly dropped the cup from her face forcing Faylinn to help hold it there. The now riderless horse bucked and kicked letting out cries that his rider was dead. The same beast with the sword looked deadly at the horse. Celia knew what was about to happen and before she could turn her head he brought the blade down with no restraint right into the back of the horse. The sword went cleanly out the other end of it's chest and the horse dropped like a sack of rocks. Celia screamed before she could think.

Kaya Emerson has spent her entire life being made to feel like she's too much, too big, too emotional, too unlovable.

No. Now I need you to see me at my darkest... and still beg for more." Locked in his penthouse with secrets, diamonds, and demons, Kaya finds herself fighting not just for her freedom, but for her sanity. Because the man who should terrify her makes her feel seen.

Two kings. One girl. And an obsession that could burn the world. Y/n never asked to be caught between Jungkook-the mafia king whose every stare feels like a chain-and Taehyung, the rival whose jealousy turns darker with each passing day. She thought it was just protection, just business... until obsession became love, and love became war. How do you survive when two devils want to claim you as theirs? ••• Y/n: You said you'd protect me... not cage me. Jungkook: Protection is a cage when the world wants to break what's mine. Y/n: I'm not yours, Jungkook. Jungkook: (laughs) Say that again. Go on-say it and watch what happens to this city. Y/n: You can't keep threatening everyone just because- Jungkook: -because I love you? No, sweetheart. Because you're the only thing keeping me alive. When you walk away, I forget how to breathe. When someone else says your name, my blood starts burning. And when Taehyung looks at you- (his voice darkens) -I want to erase his existence from the face of the earth. Y/n: That's not love. That's madness. Jungkook: Then let me be mad. Let me be the monster they already think I am. You turned me into this-don't look at me like you're innocent. Y/n: You're scaring me. Jungkook: Good. Fear keeps you close. It keeps you mine...You think I want this? You think I enjoy waking up in a world that could take you from me any second? I built an empire, Y/n. I buried men alive. But I can't bury this need-this sickness that starts and ends with you. Y/n: And what happens when Taehyung comes for me? Jungkook: (smirks, dangerous and broken) Then I'll burn his kingdom to the ground. And if you still choose him over me- I'll burn the world too. Jungkook: You'll understand one day, angel. Obsession isn't a choice. It's a curse I'd die with before I ever let you go. "Welcome to Unhealthy Obsession - where love isn't pure, it's possession."Complete
