------
In the beginning of time, where the almighty Roman Gods ruled and the supernatural thrived - two worlds collided. The barrier between magic and reality was broken, and darkness seeped through the cracks.
Rex Lupus Deorum. A dark, broody King whom has learnt to keep his enemies close and his secrets closer. But hiding skeletons in the closet can prove quite the challenge whilst attempting to contain an ill-tempered, uncontrollable beast within.
Elizabeth Ferox. With a dangerous mind and words like fire, she could take on the world. But being stubborn and hard-headed, she just might have to. With her fascination in the shadows, it appears her curiousity may be her undoing.
Will the King finally be brought to his knees, or does fate have something else planned for them?
After all, Rome was not built in a day, but it certainly fell in one.

STORY EXERPT:
"Tell me that you feel nothing, look me in the eyes and tell me."
A large hand gripped the back of my neck, as he leant down to inhale at the base of my throat. A rough hand found my chin, lifting it as pools of ice held me captive, "Answer me."
A moment of silence, his intoxicating scent suffocating me, "I feel nothing, my King."
"I will make a liar out of you, Elizabeth."
*****
In absentia lucis, tenebrae vincunt; In the absence of light, darkness prevails.

TADEUS (Bringer Of Doom)
⚠️MATURE READERS ONLY⚠️ DARK ROMANCE ⚠️ They called me the Chosen One, but I never asked to be chosen. My survival was not a blessing; it was a scar etched into my soul, a reminder of a fate that defied the natural order. They revere me for enduring the unendurable, but they do not see the price I paid-or the darkness that followed. In a world where the Moon's will shapes destiny, I have always been an outlier, my existence whispered about in fear and awe. My path was not meant to cross with his-Tadeus, the son of gods and the heir to power unimaginable. Unmerciful and grim, he was destined for a bond that promised greatness, a future that did not include me. But when our worlds collide, the pull between us is undeniable, perpetual, and utterly forbidden. What begins as a reluctant alliance becomes something far more dangerous, testing the boundaries of fate, loyalty, and the truth of what the Moon has planned. Ours is a connection that should not exist, a bond forged in defiance of the natural order. Where his touch ignites, it also destroys, and every moment I spend in his shadow feels like a war between my survival instincts and the dangerous allure of surrender. His pain mirrors my own, but it is his darkness that calls to me-a feral, ceaseless need that promises ruin. With every choice we make, we teeter on the edge of a revelation that could upend everything we know about destiny and desire. But the deeper I fall into his world-and his arms-the more I wonder: Am I defying fate, or fulfilling it?
Ethereal And The Beast
Ethereal Romanoav, nineteen. Just like her name, she was a breath of heaven on earth, too innocent, too untouched, and too unaware of the darkness that waited beyond her walls. Her beauty was the kind poets lost sleep over. Her eyes, a deep crystalline blue. People whispered she was the most beautiful girl in the world, a jewel born once in centuries. When Ethereal was barely one year old, her beloved mother, Queen Sera Roman, died of a sudden illness. And within two months, her father, King David Roman, married the Princess of Kazi, Phina. After that marriage, everything changed. Phina was threatened, terrified, of the girl who would one day surpass every beauty in the realm. So David Roman locked his daughter away. At one and a half years old, Ethereal was placed inside an isolated tower. Too small to understand, too pure to fight back. For there was monster wearing a crown. Alexandra Drakaris. Thirty-two. The King of Kings. The ruler whose bloodline had conquered kingdoms. People called him The Beast. It was said his very shadow could silence a battlefield. Rumours whispered he stole women, used them, burned empires for pleasure. Queens feared him. Kings bowed. But the truth? He had never touched a single woman. No lovers. No partners. No queen.

Love made you weak. And Alexandra could not afford weakness. He took kingdoms. He crushed armies. He conquered power-nothing else. But the world did not know the truth: The beauty King Roman hid away was the only thing Alexandra would ever desire. His ethereal romanoav His little one.. ..... Give it a try.....Complete

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

[COMPLETED] I was cursed at such a young age, abandoned by my own wolf and the Moon Goddess for something that wasn't in my control. I don't even think having a mate is in the cards for me... ✨🌘✨ I jumped when the final horn sounded, circling the garden before everyone became silent. They all returned to their seats, my father rising from his chair as I stood from my seat along with the other pups. I struggled to breath as we took our position, standing in the centre away from everyone else. My father offered me a reassuring glance though it did nothing to ease my anxiety, all I had to do now was wait. My eyes widened when the moons blue light shined down on me, illuminating my skin as I stared up at the sky in awe. "We thank the moon goddess for the power of her light..." I dropped my gaze back down, my fathers words surrounding us, "...Shall it bathe you and grant you strength, agility, speed like the wolf..." The pups around me began to moan in pain, capturing my attention as I furrowed my brows. Their features were all contorted by an invisible pain that inflicted them but I felt absolutely nothing. My heart raced when their groans of pain became screams but I- I suddenly drop to the ground, a painful throbbing in my head forcing me to the ground. I grip the sides of my head, screaming. I don't know how to explain it but it felt as though my brain was tearing in two, like my head was cracking open. When the pain stopped, I found myself surrounded by wolves, the shifted pups. Looking down at myself, I only see my body, no paws and no fur. I hadn't shifted... ✨🌕✨ Book 2* 'The Wolven King' is the first book and must be read in order to understand this one. ⚠️ WARNING!!

There was nothing but utter silence around me. It was deafening. My ears perked as I heard hissing sounds come from the vent and it made me feel weak and the door to the dungeon open. I could smell something but couldn't tell what the vapors released from the vents were burning my nostrils. I could hear foot steps drawing to my cell. The lights flicked on and I squinted to see a tall and broad figuring standing at my cell door, unlocking it, and walking in. The aura this man was giving out was making it hard not to tremble. I quickly stood up and bowed. "What is your name" he bellowed kinda muffled. I panicked and quickly remembered that the guards had not checked me before putting me in here. I pulled out my speech device and began typing...I looked up for a split second just to see a fist plummeting towards me and everything became fuzzy. I could hear screams but could not make out what was being said. Everything grew darker and darker before eventually everything was all black and my world faded...' ~~~~~~~ None of the remarks made in this story are real.

Gemstone Academy
My eyes finally adjusted and I got a good look at the guy. Holy shit, he was HOT. He rivaled Lazarus, and that's saying a lot.

He was wearing a black long sleeved shirt that was fitted so you could see his muscles. There was something off about him though. Oh, I know what it was. His eyes were bright purple. Then he blinked and they were sky blue. What the...?
