In the era where swords rule, where women consider their modesty their greatest virtue. Where a man would kill to find his wife warming another mans bed, a time when women would consider it the greatest of adultery or fornication to warm a bed other than her husbands. A time when an honorable man guards his gaze, for his gaze is solely for his wife alone, as well as his heart. He's feared, ruthless, cold, heartless, manipulative, cunning, a rake. Or so they assume... She's beautiful yet silent, not by a defect, she simply dislikes to mingle with gossip.Yet she has emotional scars that no one sees behind her smile, but a few.

Verana is about to change that. Feysha but more, she is sent from the Wild to warn the humans that darkness is coming for their island and remind them of the oath both parties swore to protect Clairval from what was to come.

The Alpha's Softest Sin
"If she dares to run, she'll learn that mercy from me is sharper than cruelty." Tristan's POV She is the fire in my veins, the only ache I cannot kill. One breath from her and I am undone-beast and man both caged by her nearness. "Her nearness poisons me, yet I would drink her a thousand times over." "You don't see it yet, little flame... but your heart is already mine. If love does not bind you to me, chains will. If tenderness fails, I will wield obsession like a blade until you bleed only for me. The world may kneel or burn, I don't care- because you are the only sin I'll never repent, the only war I was born to win." "I would tear out my own soul, if she asked-yet cage hers if she runs."

The silent yearning
Juliette never imagined she'd marry Tristan Sinclair-the man she spent a lifetime loving from afar. But when tragedy strikes, duty binds them together in a marriage neither of them chose. Once, he was the boy who unknowingly held her heart. Now, he's a man hardened by grief, distant and unreadable. Juliette wears her scars beneath long sleeves and forced smiles, while Tristan buries his behind cold indifference. In a house filled with ghosts, their silence is a war of its own. But the past has a way of creeping back in. A glimpse of old wounds. A rare crack in his armor. A touch that lingers too long. Tension simmers, coiled between resentment and something far more dangerous. And when the truth finally shatters the walls between them, love may not be enough to heal what's already broken. Some scars never fade. Some pasts refuse to stay buried. And some vows are written in pain rather than love. But maybe-just maybe-this time, they can rewrite their ending. Spoiler : not everyone get their happy ending. # Forced marriage # Slow-Burn Romance # Secret past & trauma # Strong heroine # Emotional depth # cold heroComplete
