"After what seems like hours, the ships dock on our shores, and I spur Ormr into a dive. As men rush the shores, we coast above the ships, letting them see us for the first time. Many men freeze in their steps, while others attempt to ignore us, and continue charging. Once we're low enough, I whisper to Ormr, "Burn it all, girl," and flames pour from her mouth, devouring the ships below us. Let's see them leave now."

Zordania by LeaLogophile

"Feel that?" My breath brushed against her ear. "That burning power, running through your veins like molten lava?" She shuddered. Her hands trembled. "Don't fight it," I continued, voice steady, coaxing. "Welcome it. Let it blaze. You can own it; you can control it." Her breath hitched as the flames surged in her palms, crackling with untamed energy. Her fingers twitched as though they ached to let loose. But I wasn't done. Slowly, I reached out and took her hands, without pausing to think about the damage her fire could do to me. The instant my skin met hers, a shock ran through my body and my element surged through me without warning. Ice surged from my veins, creeping over my forearms, sliding down to meet her flames. Steam hissed where our elements collided, twirling in the air between us in a slow, mesmerizing dance. Our breathing was ragged, our bodies still pressed close.

Empire of Ashes:She Burned The Throne by Thefireecracker

Empire of Ashes 🌑🔥👑 Devisha is a queen. Born of fire, shaped by loss, and crowned with the weight of a kingdom that looks to her as its last hope. She vowed she would never kneel. Never surrender. Never let her heart become her weakness. But he returned. He, whose touch once burned her. He, whose name is lost in shadows but whose presence consumes every breath she takes. He, who claims her crown, her soul, her very existence as his own. When kingdoms march toward war, when blood is promised to the soil and betrayal coils like smoke in the air-Devisha must fight not only for her people, but against the man who would set the world ablaze just to keep her. His eyes follow her. His desire chains her. And his obsession will not end until she is his. This is her story. Of power, of betrayal, of fire... and of the love that threatens to destroy her empire. 🔖 Tags: #darkromance #historicalfantasy #fierceprincess #obsessivelove #royaldrama #betrayal #burningdesire #powerstruggle #enemiestolovers #slowburnromance #revengeandlove #twistedfate #emotionalwarfare #indianfantasy #forbiddenfeelings

The Trials by Yaroda07

How do you get rid of the biggest part of you? How do you ignore the call of something so beautiful yet so deadly? How do you resist the darkness that's been living, growing and thriving within you even before you were born? How do you turn down the only chance to get all the answers you desire, even if it leads you down a path of chaos, horror, and madness? A path others have fought for you not to tread. But why fight at all? Why fight a fire that only burns brighter? "Listen, you can choose not to believe this. But I've been where you are, I've felt what you feel." I opened my mouth to snap back, but he continued, his voice more broken that I'd ever heard it. "Don't ask me how I know - all I know is I don't want to hurt you. I don't want a throne. I just... I just want you to be okay. I can't... I can't lose you too." His eyes held sincerity, pain... and something more. But none affected me. Not anymore. "What makes you think I care about you losing me," I whispered. "When I don't even care if I lose myself?" The others may be trying to douse the fire, but I rather let it burn. Burn until it consumed us all.

Wrapped in Love│✔ by dhani4you

[#1 ~ The Rajvansh Family] "You don't have a wife?" Adi asked innocently, his words cutting through the air, causing the entire table to fall into a stunned silence. She shot her son a glare, silently warning him to be quiet with just a look. He paused, then replied, "I don't," as his family exchanged surprised glances, clearly expecting him to snap or react harshly to the kid. "My mumma doesn't have a husband, either," the little boy continued, as though he had just solved the most difficult puzzle in the world. "I know," he responded, his usually cold demeanor softening into a surprising smile as he looked down at the child. "Then why don't you marry each other?" Adi grinned, as if it were the simplest idea in the world. The whole room filled the room with stunned silence, by his innocent proposal. 🕊️ 𝗞𝗵𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶 𝗕𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮 returns to her childhood city, seeking a fresh start after a painful divorce, determined to build a better life for her four-year-old son.

ALWAYS YOU by lieveliveslife

"All the dreams I've envisioned for us will come true; the only difference is that I won't be in any of them." Amara had faced unimaginable loss, scarred by witnessing her parents perish in flames at just three years old. Her world was shattered in a single night, leaving her alone in a cruel reality. However, fate had not entirely abandoned her. The Rajvansh family, led by her father's best friend, took her in and raised her as one of their own, providing her with a loving home despite the pain that lingered in her heart. Years passed, and Amara found solace within the Rajvansh household, though the memories of her tragic past never fully faded. As she reached adulthood, life forced her into a pivotal decision-marriage. Ayaan Rajvansh, her childhood confidant and boyfriend, seemed the perfect choice, and the Rajvansh family celebrated the impending union. Yet, not everyone shared in the joy. Amara's decision crushed Abhimaan Rajvansh, the elder son of the family. Despite his immense power, wealth, and control over the AA Group of Industries, he was helpless in the face of his own heartache. For eighteen years, Amara had unknowingly held sway over every aspect of his being. She was his world, his obsession, his torment. The question now loomed: was this truly the end of Abhimaan's unrequited love? Would he stand aside as Amara became another man's wife, or would the darkness within him take over, driving him to claim her, no matter the cost? Abhimaan: "I am terrified that I might destroy you..." Amara: "Then destroy me, please..."

10 Years ago my life changed, I was 18, young, stupid and selfish. I thought I was doing the right thing, convinced myself everything I did I was doing for the boy who owned my heart, the boy I loved - so I ran as far as I could go, without explanation to my friends and in spite of my family I fled the only home I had ever known, left behind the only people that had ever cared about me, but I needed an escape. I know you heard me Amara, Is she, Is Lily, Mine?"
