'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.

Crazy for you
UNEDITED Selenia woke up to the sunrise beaming on her face, she was wrapped in a cocoon of warmth while she watched the dust particles float through the sunlight. Her brows furrowed as she remember the previous night. She wasn't sure how she felt being in his arms, needing to seek his comfort to feel safe. She always hated men, hated how they thought they were entitled to everything, including women's bodies. She hated how they thought they were superior to women, stronger than women. Yet here she was, wrapped in a man's arm because she wasn't strong enough to deal with her problems on her own. She was weak. Selenia failed to realize the man behind her woke a few minutes prior. Elio could practically hear to cogs turning in her head, and knowing her it was something negative. "It's okay to need help sometimes. We all need someone" he whispered in her ear. His breath caused her to shiver. 'He was right, wasn't he? You can't live your life on your own. But, that's not how she was raised, she was raised better than that. She needed no one.' she thought to herself.

Darkest hours (G!P)
This world is set in the past. In a time where nothing was impossible, Where dragons fly above our heads. We learned to ride them, and become friends with them. We created artifacts that make our dragos small and then big again when we need them. That's what sets our world into two sides. A side where dragon riders lived and flew on them. And a side where they hated dragons, and the one that rode them. Even though we managed to work in peace, there was no war between us. Only fights that were under control and rules. In the Arena in the city called Aeloria. A city where there were both sides. They mostly ignored each other. But it was hard to get in this city. Mostly it was the people that lived there. And a few outsiders, but that was either the sellers, chosen group of warriors or dragon riders, and lastly the best fighters of the academies that went into the arena. To prove who is stronger and the winner will receive high quality weapons or any other things of their choice. One day the darkness came and war started. Not between us, but with a kingdom that was across the sea. And this battle or war changed everything we knew. I'm Ardyn, I'm on the side where we ride on dragons. And this story can be easy but also hard to understand. But I will still share it. But first we have to start from the beginning. What will this story bring? Will we be able to see the outcome? Let's wait and see. --------------------------------------------- "Get on!" Leora screams at Ardyn. Extending her hand for her to take. "No, I'm not getting there I hate ships." I shook my head and took a step back. Leora sighed and shook her head in mocked amusement. "Are you telling me you are able to fly on a dragon. But you are scared of standing on a ship. Don't make me laugh." "Yes. So what, I'm not getting on." I said angry and she grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

A Mate Out of Murder: The Realms of Eldon Book 1
"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.

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.

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!!!!
