Darkened Hearts by signedbyleah

It all started with a superhero, one who vowed to help save the world and use her powers for good....But how can one keep a promise if they don't remember making it? What happens when the lines to right and wrong blur? When promises have to be broken? When the one thing you thought you could never lose, your morality, comes into question. What happens when the only person in the world that understands you is the person you believed was evil. But a reputation can be fabricated, evidence can be tampered and memories can be manipulated. How does one decide who's good and who's bad? Who's the hero and who's a villain? Maybe the only real difference between the two is a change in perspective or perhaps keeping an open mind. Sometimes even a "Villain" has a good side and even a "Hero" has a bad one...so what would happen if they were to see eye to eye?....Who would be there to pull them from the deep end?...or maybe the high tide is exactly where they want to be.

My Most Tragic Villainess by AngelDiabrill

"If you don't get enough sleep, you'll die." Is something that I've just figured out lately. With a 14 days of not sleeping streak, the light came and took me to another world. A world of novel, my novel. You see, I was up all night for the whole 2 weeks writing my novel named "Dreadful love". It had a decent amount of readers. And I, the author is famous as well, why's that? Because my novels are known to always have legendary tragic twist and turns, I even kill my lead characters, Hehe. So I transmigrated... To my own novel... And it just had to be this one. And I just had to be the villain... Though it's all goods, since all the characters have tragic lives. But this person that I'm in is ten times more tragic than all of the other characters! She- not important.

The Life of a Villain by Tryparatest

Aren't you ever tired of the same old super hero story? The hero is cool looking with bulging muscles, and always wins. Like, always. Even if the situation is dire and it all seems lost. All the sudden, freaking deus ex machina. And the villain is either some super nerd, or a loser. Do you have any idea how stereotypical that is? Hero=jock/bully. Villain=nerd/loser. But not this time. This is a new story. The Life of a Villain. Part 1: This is a story about Leonardo Sutton a.k.a Knifeslinger, an 18 year old villain out for revenge for his family's death. He goes undercover at Ravenswood Academy where he meets new friends and old friends, and an evil plot that could shake the world. Part 2: Life was finally starting to settle down(ish) in the few days of freedom, but of course normality can't be something for ex-villain Leonardo Sutton. When an alien invasion is imminent, Leo must be Knifeslinger again, and work with Team Amazing to stop the Disastrous Nuclear Anthropoid and his planet of people. #1 in #supervillain 7/5/2020

Moonbound (book 1) by sapphicgurlproblems

"He was supposed to be my enemy... not my fated mate. Damn it." Centuries of war have left only scars. Now a fragile peace forces them face-to-face: One vampire. One wolf. Two enemies bound by blood and fate. Lucien Duskborne is everything a vampire prince should not be...dangerously charming, scandalously reckless, and far too clever for anyone's safety. Sent as a political envoy to the werewolf highlands, he carries silver fangs, sharper lies, and orders that could ignite war all over again. But then there's Rhydian Ashborne. The wolf-heir with golden eyes and a smile that hides claws. A true alpha with a scar that burns whenever Lucien is near. Courteous, disciplined, the perfect prince... until his temper cracks and the beast inside him snarls for blood. What begins as a battle of wit and willpower soon spirals into something darker. A bond that should not exist. A prophecy buried in ash. A hunger neither of them can control. Because when a vampire seduces his enemy... And a wolf finds his fated mate... Love isn't the only thing at stake. Kingdoms will fall. Blood will spill. And fate will make monsters of them both. ---- Core Genre: Fantasy Romance + Boys' Love (BL) / LGBTQ+ Romance Subgenres: Dark Fantasy + Enemies to Lovers + Fated Mates + Supernatural + Action / Adventure Flavor Tags: Political Intrigue + Slow Burn + Forbidden Romance + Dark BL

By Day and by Night by CrimsynAnalysis

Through the darkness, the computer screen illuminated the pale skin of Adelae's face around the black mask. Scrolling through the submitted questions, she came across one that made her smile. "Dear Lady Shade," She read aloud to herself. "Why did you choose to be a villain instead of a hero?" She chuckled, shaking her head at the simple, loaded question, before selecting it and opening the page to write a reply. "Hello Blogger KittyStan41. I bet you're expecting the classic tragic backstory in response to this question." she typed. " Dead parents, treated like trash as a kid, and it all came to a choice between rising to defeat my inner demons or succumbing to them. Well, my real answer is possibly something you haven't considered about the world of Heroes and Villains. Answer this for me, what is the goal of a hero? To make the world a better place, perhaps? No, dear KittyStan41. The classic goals of the Hero might seem epic and noble, but in the end it all comes down to stopping the Villain. What kind of life is that, when your only goals derive from the actions of someone else? Your whole life is used up as a preventative measure. Now does that sound like a good way to live? "I chose to be a villain not because I enjoy hurting people, but because I have goals that I plan to achieve. Don't bother asking what they are. If I told you, everyone would know, and people (baby heroes) would get in the way. Then how would I achieve them? I aspire to more. Is there need for a better reason?"

Blooded Mate by rhycce

[[MATURE CONTENT]] Pack, family, mate. Loyalty, respect, honor. These are the words that form the foundation of the wolf society. At six years old, Ethan had to choose between his Alpha title and his survival on the night of his father's death. As a teenager, his family and lineage are further humiliated because he has not had his first transformation. Between dealing with a bully on a power trip, the challenges of high school, a less than sympathetic alpha, and his current impairment, Ethan is barely surviving. His daily prayer to Luna was simple: a request to find his wolf. But he would soon learn that the moon goddess does not do things by half-measures. On the night of his first transformation, she also tossed in a mate who wants absolutely nothing to do him and a vengeful alpha hell-bent on ripping his neck out. Soon he learns that high school bullies and homework are the least of his worries when he has to flee his pack and live with his mate: the warrior vampire whose entire history was forged from killing his kind. Learning to control his wolf, avoiding assassins, fighting his mate, and for his mate become daily struggles. But battles come in many forms and not always when or where he expects them. Soft, sensual victories within the sheets are as just as important as the hard-won, blood-filled ones on a gory forest floor. And failure on any battlefield could mean a slow, painful death. A/N -Warning This is a gay-themed novel with some fighting. So there will be intense scenes both in bed and out of it. If you are not a fan of boyxboy action, then this novel is not for you. PS. I do not own the rights to the images in the chapters. They're a source of inspiration for characters and settings in the story. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1/6/2024 - Blooded Mate hit a #1 in Werewolf, #10 in boyxboy and #5 in honor. 1/8/2024 - #2 in Gay, #2 in honor 4/13/2024 - #2 in vampire 4/14/2024 - #2 in witch, #1 in matebond
