Nova's family has one enemy. An enemy so powerful, so far-off and impossible to face, he doesn't even seem like a real person anymore. He is simply the Dragon King. It has been so easy for Nova to hate him from afar, remember the atrocities he committed, all the thousands he slaughtered before signing peace treaties with all mortal races, and renouncing his savage ways.
Now he sits pretty in a brand new castle, in a brand new Capitol City he built to erase the memory of his own past. Yet to Nova's family, he will always be a threat. When they catch wind of his plan to demolish their family's home in the remote Heavenly Birch Forest to make room for his expanding treasure horde, Nova decides she can no longer sit back and do nothing. She sets out to the Capitol City, and works her way into a position as the Dragon King's maid. There, she hopes to blackmail the powerful beast into sparing her family's forest, and their lives.
When she finally meets the legendary Dragon King face to face, she finds a man so much more powerful - and beautiful, and lonely, and complicated - than she had ever imagined. Quickly she realizes all is not as it seems, and that everyone, even an ancient and terrifying Dragon King, deserves a second chance.

DO YOU REALLY HATE EACH OTHER? (MXMXM)
Theodore Vales 🌸 Do you really hate each other? Because I don't think you do. I've seen hatred before. It is clean. Sharp. Cold. What you two have is anything but. It is fire, restless and consuming. It is tension so thick the air trembles when you walk into the same room. It is silence heavy with everything unsaid, every word buried because neither of you knows how to bleed without drawing blood. And yet-when you reach for me, both of you, your hands brush too close. Your eyes flicker not just to me but to each other, even if only for a second. You think I don't notice, but I do. I notice the longing beneath the fury, the way your anger is only the shadow of something deeper. You both want me. And I-I want you both. But maybe it was never only about me. Maybe it has always been about 'us'. Three. A number most would call too much. Too messy. Too impossible. And yet, in the way you breathe, in the way you break, in the way you burn-I see it. Three is the only way this story could ever be told. So I'll ask again. Do you really hate each other? Or is hate just another word for everything you're too afraid to confess? A story of rivals, longing, and the kind of love that breaks all rules. 🌸🌸🌸☁☁☁🌸🌸🌸 ⚠️ Viewer's Discretion is Advised ⚠️ This story contains mature themes and is intended for adult audiences.

Bound by fate
Nova disguise as a boy to enter the military school. If she is discovered as a girl, she will be kicked out. She is desperate to hide from trackers who have been following her for a dozen years. No one would think to look for her in an all-male military school. She hides among werewolves and is one of the very few nonshifters at the school. She catches the new instructor's curiosity, and her identity is threatened. He claims to be her mate, but she knows that her kind don't have a mate and desperately tries to avoid him. If he stumbles upon her true identity, she is screwed. "What are you doing?!" growls his highness, ripping the knife from my hands. It tingles as his fingers close around my wrist. Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back. Quickly I grab another knife and throws it over my shoulder, hitting bulls' eye. He glares at me, and the room has gone completely silent. That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha.

COMPLETED ✔️✔️ "You're meant to hate me." I say, but it comes out more like a question than a truth. "I'm gonna fuck you as hard as I hate you." He says and the next second his mouth crashes onto mine. ____ They don't like each other. Like at all. Alex Black and Nadia Thorpe aren't friends in the slightest. They're what you'd call 'enemies'... or rivals. They despise the others' presence. They avoid each other at all cost, and neither will back down in a fight. Fast forward three years after they met, and they barely tolerate each other. And seeing each other at the off-campus yearly Halloween party makes things ten times worse, especially when they realise they've accidentally matched costumes... Oh and have I mentioned that they're part of the same friend group? _____________________________ Best rankings: #1 in collegeromance #1 in halloween #1 in forcedproximity #1 in costume #1 in party #1 in icehockey #1 in rivalstolovers #1 in friendgroup #1 in frenemies #1 in lovestory #1 in insomnia #2 in slowburn #2 in fire #3 in slowburn #3 in halloween Picture on the cover isn't mine Started 21/8/2024 Ended 19/8/2025 noComplete
