|𝙵𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝟷𝟷𝚡|

There's a war in London. No one knows how it started, but those caught in the fray can either struggle or thrive due to the nation-wide influence of two formidable factions: the Crimson Syndicate and the Brotherhood of the Verita Aser. Two separate organisations, each battling for triumph over the other.

Lennox, a Verita florist, is one of many struggling. His parents' penchant for materialistic spending and egotistical power plays landed him with an impossible task: to keep their shop afloat while being the perfect pawn for their propaganda. A fateful collision with Ren Ryker--a talented, handsome gunman from the opposing faction--could prove to be an avenue for romance... or something Lennox won't live to regret.

Ren, on the other hand, should be thriving. With each successful job, he earns coveted praise from his leader and the satisfaction of bringing the slightly sadistic Crimson Syndicate closer to victory. By his standards, he should be flourishing in every sense of the word. But despite his accomplishments, a single failure loses him the Syndicate's trust, leaving Ren flailing to return to prosperity. Without funds for surgery, he's robbed of a choice, and only an ultimatum remains. He must kill Lennox and his family to stop his comfortable life from crumbling beneath him.

Lucius, the less favored twin brother of Prophet Julian, was forced into marrying the Vampire Crown Prince Dorian under his brother's name as part of a truce and subsequently fell in love with his enigmatic husband. After helping Dorian claim the throne and become the first human Royal Consort of the vampire kingdom Eternia, Lucius thought he finally had found his perfect fairytale happy ending. However, his happy-ever-after only lasted several months. After Lucius's treacherous secret mission was exposed, the Royal Consort fell from grace, lost his husband's love and respect, and was imprisoned in the Northern Tower for a year. Everyone in the court was speculating when King Dorian would divorce Lucius and execute him. And just when Lucius thought things couldn't have gone worse than this, fate mocked him once more. One day, Lucius woke up and found himself branded as a human slave and trapped in the worst situation. Once lost all his privileges, he witnessed the true horror and cruelty of a world in which humans were dominated and used as livestock. With the help of a friend, Lucius managed to avoid more severe violations and eventually escaped from Eternia and headed home, however, as someone who was "defiled" by the vampires, he found no welcome, consolation, or even safety back home, either. Would he ever see Dorian again? Would Dorian ever forgive him for his betrayal?

Nyx 1: Curse of the Catastrophe Cat (Mafia Reverse Harem Poly) by BHAriks12

- A Dark and Erotic Romantic Comedy that offers second chances for fated love. In that moment of embarrassment, fear and dread, I do the unthinkable........ I jump into the black clad stranger's arms, and kiss him with all the drama of a soap opera. I'm so pent-up and freaked out trying to avoid my stalker that all the 'big' feelings I can't really express in any other way come out in the shape of me sucking Dracula's face like a starved sex demon. Yes, I meant it to be for show, but ..... I've already come this far, why not? "Renfield tricked me," I pant, pointing my shaking finger at the obnoxious blonde man, literally crying, this is all so hysterical to him. Let's just say it's not all fake when I practically swoon like the well-to-do British lady I'm impersonating. "Dracula's spell is too powerful. I can't fight it, go! Go find Van Helsing!" How did this happen? Nicky! That's right, this is all my orphan brother, Roman Nikolai Cross' fault! Ever since that tweedle twap jerk named me after the bad luck stray cat outside our orphanage, there is no end to the comedy of errors that is my life. I was hoping to avoid the so tragic it's funny or so funny it's tragic stigma with my second chance on life, but no such luck with his latest shenanigans. You'd think with my history, he'd let me keep a low profile, but no. More than anyone, I'm keenly aware that the Senate allows the Mafia to run the streets of Haven, last sanctuary for Fey or not, and there is nothing ordinary about the larger than life, billionaire titans his meddling crash lands me into!
