'Smile, Al... smile and good things will follow,' is what Selene remembers being her last words when she's yanked into a sprawling room carpeted with velvet and marble pillars reaching up to the high ceiling. 

A few meters away from her towers a tall blonde with calculating ferocity briefly bleeding through her lilac eyes.

Supposedly, she's been summoned by the future Queen to be her lady-in-waiting.

Perhaps the world should let her grieve first.

43 parts Ongoing Mature
To celebrate his graduation and a new home, Xion Aijawa happily went to buy beer. There he saw a cat hanging from the tree. While saving the cat, Xion fell into the pit and...died. In his disoriented sate of "Freshly dead" the silly Xion accepted the request and ended up transmigrating into the world full of dungeons and Mana. He found himself surrounding with the step siblings who hates him and father who was planning to send him as a "Gift" to some aristocrat. Who made him look like a pretty doll? However, his face was the least of his worry at the moment. According to the memory of the original owner of the body, Xion knew he only had a month to live if he did not manage to escape. So, taking the cover of the banquet, Xion ran away. Aided by a mysterious System Mall that allows him to buy almost anything, he makes his way to the distant borderlands, hoping to put his past behind him. But fate has other plans---Xion ends up saving Darius Rael Drakhelm, the feared Archduke of the North, notorious for his ruthless and deranged nature. The silly Xion tried to run away but... Trapped on the Archduke's bed, Xion's heart thumped loudly when he saw Darius' smirk. The archduke towered over him as those fingers gently caressed Xion's cheek. "I've heard you tried to run away," Darius spoke. "That must be a lie... After all, I've given you things even the royal family can't have. Isn't that right, my dear healer?" Xion gulped when Darius's thumb brushed his lower lip, "I-I think I should leave. I've overstayed my welcome..." The room grew cold, and Xion shivered. He watched as Darius's green eyes dimmed before lighting up with a dangerous glint. Xion felt a pit growing in his stomach when he saw the deranged archduke smile. Darius never smiled. And whenever he did, it only meant trouble. "You're right," Darius said calmly. "So let's get married." Xion, "..." Help!!!!

26 parts Ongoing Mature
"What do you want with me," she demanded softly, her voice quavering as her cheeks heated with embarrassment at his reference to her actions of the night before. This bantering, flirtatious side of Zeke was turning her insides into a confusing mush. Zeke stopped his advance, leaving two feet of space between them, his fiery eyes boring into hers with a look of intense determination. "Everything," he admitted huskily. The answer took her by surprise. A flash of heat spread from the back of her skull to her toes, as if she'd been struck by lightning. Every nerve felt like she was on fire. Her wolf hummed with pleasure at the sensations while her human self felt like it was drowning in an ocean of panic. The dichotomy of her split emotions was a chaotic confusion she had never felt before. "You're going to...um," she stuttered, frazzled. Her eyes darted around the room, looking for anything to distract her from the heat in his unbroken gaze, before finally settling on the smooth marble floor under her bare feet. She cleared her throat to start again. "You're going to need to be a little more specific." ~~~~~~~~~~ Selene is the daughter of Corben, Alpha of Blood Fang. She has never left her pack territory, but when she is suddenly accused of murdering her father, she's left with no choice but to abandon her pack in order to survive. Zeke is the young Alpha of White Moon. He has no interest or plan to find a mate, ever. But lately he's been plagued by nightmares of a beautiful woman in danger. What will happen when the woman of his dreams turns out to not only be very real, but a fugitive accused of her father's murder?

SNEAK PEAK: Aliss's gray eyes glanced at the Devious Queen standing beside her and next to the one impaled before her. Aliss realized then that she had made a mistake. She had always been a cautious person, constantly reading the situations in front of her and thinking of countless possibilities and outcomes. Maybe it was because of her confidence or maybe it was because of Naisis's magic but she found herself caught within the Lich Queen's web of illusions. Suddenly the illusion of Naisis twisted into Zhil. The once-cursed black blood turned red. Zhil struggled to keep himself upright, pawing at Aliss's arm to let go of her weapons. Aliss's eyes widened in shock, immediately making her let go. His body crumbled to the ground, twitching violently as he clawed at his throat to stop the blood from flowing. Several seconds passed and the blood-soaked gargle stopped and Zhil's body lay motionless. "Now you've gone and killed your precious Majesty too. Shame on you."

The King's Assassin

17 parts Complete

** Complete - EDITING** In a kingdom where magic is forbidden, Selene serves as the King's Assassin, bound to his every command. Though, she has no memory of who she truly is -- only the name the King has told her. In the crowded, suffocating city, she struggles to think clearly, to remember something. But remembering is dangerous; it could make the King angry. And angering the King something she dares not risk. Yet, when Selene begins dreaming of a mysterious man with amber eyes, fragments of her memories begin to return. As her past slowly pieces itself together, she faces the question -- will learning the truth of who she is give her the strength to claim her freedom, or will it spell doom for herself and the kingdom she has come to call home?
