Ishihara // ATEEZ ✔
This is a world where your worth is as much as the colour of your blood. Akira is the queen's most trusted soldier and general. Being the highest ranked amongst others, she is ruthless in doing her job. She only has one weakness: she cannot see colours. The world only represents itself as black and white to her and she has learnt to use it to her advantage. She slashes people with her sword without even batting an eye - the blood splattered across is merely a liquid that holds no meaning to her. In the kingdom of Lucida, the people are divided based on the colour of their blood. Royalty bear white blood, noblemen take crimson, commoners live with blue while the servants, considered the lowest in the ranks, are left with yellow blood. No one is allowed to marry outside their ranks and no one ever dares to break the norm throughout the centuries. When the queen orders her to find the identity of the mysterious Shadow King, she sets out on a quest to find the real king. Her list is narrowed down to 7 men, all from different backgrounds. Blood has to be shed in order to confirm the king's identity but she has one problem: she cannot determine the truth with her own eyes. [Disclaimer: There might be some scenes with violence, death, blood and mild language - but nothing too excessive or graphic.] © dreamperfection; 2019 Book cover credits: the amazing @sanoirsComplete

Ruthless
Ruthless. Her mother's eyes pleaded silently with hers, the brown pools blurring with anger and sadness, ❝They call you ruthless, Akira, you understand right? You need to stop this madness. Right this second-❞ She cut her mother off, turning the emerald ring that sat on her middle finger. A venomous laugh left the threshold of her rose tinted lips, ❝Every great story begins with a little madness, mother. And my story has just begun.❞ ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ ✾ Maharani Akira Singh - the one who was as invincible as the Goddesses that lounged above. Just as untouchable, just as drunk on power and just as oblivious to the darkness of the world that bubbled underneath her own two feet. Akira was the embodiment of the one in control - whether it was of herself or of the world she so elegantly ruled. But when you're a mortal pretending to be a God, nothing lasts. Your world will crumble and you will crumble with it - disintegrating into bits and pieces. You will be pushed off the throne you had been worshipped at and while Akira might be prideful, even knew it. She knew that one day her fall would come - taking down her reign and leaving her to rule the ruins. But what she didn't know was that it would come in the form of a man. A suitor, a foreigner, a quick-witted prince: Yuvraj Kartik chauhan. Life is never simple when you're royalty, especially when there are people ready to slice your throat at every turn, every downfall and every place where darkness falls. So what will you do? Will you build up a wall high enough to ward everyone off, succumbing to your own loneliness? Or will you trust the one person you weren't supposed to? ✾ ------------ [Trigger warning - Mentions of blood, gore and war.] [Word count: 40k - 50k] © dyysfunctional_bitxh [2021]Complete

"My name is Rashiq Salim bin Fiqri Zafar, Crown Prince of Arandia and I need your help." "I'm sorry, did you say prince?" "Yes, and you, Ms. Walker are going to be my bride." She spluttered her coffee over him again. "What?!" Simply a business proposal...

Or even the fact that she would agree to his proposal. The next thing she knows, her life is never the same. Juggling between college and keeping their marriage a secret, there are more burdens and secrecy than before. Pressure builds during the day but is relinquished in passion-filled nights in her husband's bed... Or could it be more? Rashiq Zafar, Crown Prince of Arandia needs a wife and he needs it quick. When he sees Annabelle Walker, she fit his requirements perfectly. She needs money and he had money. All he needs her is for a year and they would walk away unaffected. But the last thing he expected was new emotions to follow his decision to get married... _____________________________________________________________ Okay, I've been getting a lot of offensive comments on his religion and race and bla bla bla. I just want to let you know that where I come from, I do know the basic customs and I think some of you are being too offensive for a fictional story. This story has absolutely no relations to religion. At all. All I did was select a certain nationality for my main lead. Plus, its a fictional country! I have done my research and I do not appreciate people saying my characters are going to hell and stuff. So, I've changed the name a bit and removed the "bin". Once again, I'll say this, this story has some sexual content so if you are sensitive to it either due to morality or religious reasons, please do not read any further. Thank you.
