Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!"

Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me".

Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith.

As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.'

"You created that absurd tale in a blink of an eye?" Zane asked, one brow arched in amused disbelief. She huffed. "You should be grateful, I think quickly." "Oh, I am," he murmured. "But perhaps next time, a backstory wherein I retain a modicum of dignity?" Aurora smirked. "And rob myself of the entertainment? Where's the fun in that?" Zane shook his head, but his fingers lingered a fraction longer before he released her hand. "I hadn't realised amusement ranked so highly among your values." She narrowed her eyes. "You are growing rather bold, considering I just saved your life." Zane, entirely undeterred, tilted his head with an infuriating smile. "Ah, but my dearest", he murmured, stepping closer, "perhaps you saved me because you cannot bear to be without me." She responded with all the grace and dignity of a woman at her wit's end-by clamping a hand over his face and shoving him away with such force that he staggered back, laughter spilling from his lips. "Gah! You are intolerable!" Aurora exhaled sharply, straightening her sleeves as though the mere act of touching him had somehow wrinkled them. *************************** Bound by duty. Shackled by honour. Tormented by feeling. Aurora lives a life shaped by steel and sacrifice. As a knight sworn to her realm, she's loyal, lethal, and alone-unshaken in battle, but increasingly undone in his presence. Zane is a problem: disciplined yet reckless, distant yet always too close. He never asks, never reveals-yet somehow sees straight through her. When a mission draws them deep into peril, forced side by side, what once was teasing sharpens into tension. In stolen glances and moonlit silence, desire simmers beneath duty, and silence becomes the loudest agony of all. As truths unravel and enemies close in, the real question isn't whether they can trust each other... It's whether they can afford not to. Written: March 2025- Feb 2026
love and other deadly things by RoseeB

"Shh" he whispered into her ear, his deep voice vibrated through her body. "No need to cause a Scene, Iris." He led her, roughly, through a hidden door that was disguised to look like a bookshelf. It opened into a dimly lit room she had never seen. The room was smaller, cozier, and taken up mostly by a large, four-post bed. Thick velvet curtains kept out the last bit of daylight, making the dark and warmly sensual. A single lamp on a nearby table cast a soft, golden light. He released her mouth, but kept her wrist firmly in his grasp. "Now, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way." She glared at him, her chest heaving. "Let me go, Anthony!" He ignored her, his eyes scanning the room, then settling on the bed. "I prefer the easy way, personally. Just tell me what you took." "I didn't take anything!" she insisted, fighting against his grip. He sighed, a deep, resigned sound. Shaking his head, He pulled her towards the bed. "Very well." In some stories, you will find pure love, deep care, and loyalty, where people are kind, caring, gentle and happy. But for every nice story, there is a dark one. Other stories explore the darker side of people: tales about total control and dominance, the cold fight for power, and hard stories filled with pain, blood, and suffering. Get ready to meet characters at their weakest and their most cruel. You will experience great joy and deep sadness. Which stories will leave you breathless, and which will you remember the most?

This is a mature book. It has themes of Sex, BDSM, Violence, Murder, Self-Harm, Mind Control, and Torture. Reader discretion is advised. *****This has been edited from the original story (Previously Auras) ***** Aurora was a normal college student working towards a business degree until she went to a party that changed her life. Everyone she knew and cared about was murdered in a twisted idea of fun, she was the only survivor. Quickly dumped into a world of supernatural Aurora must find her place despite the fact a possessive werewolf seems to want to tell her what to do. Can she adjust or will she crumble under the pressure? Excerpt: The screams and cries for help faded while silent tears continued to stream down her face. Her hands were slapped over her mouth to muffle any noise that escaped her quivering lips. She wasn't sure how long she was in that pantry but couldn't come out until she was beyond certain that they had left. For a moment, she started to have hope that maybe they wouldn't be able to find her, but a voice spoke up, and fear flooded in once again. "You cleared out the upstairs, too, right?" "Yeah." Another voice responded. There was a slight pause, "Hmm. Then where is that heartbeat coming from, I wonder." His voice had a sickening amusement to it, and her heart rate uncontrollably spiked with the adrenaline pumped through her veins. Was he talking about her? The thought that he could hear her heartbeat was crazy. It just wasn't humanly possible. Footsteps grew closer to the kitchen. Somehow, they had found her. She said one last prayer and goodbye to her life as the pantry opened. "Boo." The man yelled, peering in at her. She was frozen. There was nothing more she could do. She was going to die. "Little Birdy," he stretched out his hand, "come out to play."
The Renaissance of Catalina by urmomshoohaa
42 parts Complete Mature
Catalina Azura's life ended in misery. For 3 decades a war has ensued between Elimina and Azura, and in it, Catalina was only a pawn. Sent to the Elminian kingdom to be wed to the Crown prince, Caspian Atticus Elmina III, by her Step Brother the King; she is sent into a den of wolves. She is timid, but there is one thing that Catalina has, powers, ones that have been thought lost to time. She cannot be discovered, as witches have long been feared and more importantly, slaughtered. In Elmina, Catalina treated as a slave, being abused by her own ladies in waiting. She's completely abandoned, with no one from Azura to help her, and Caspian? He has long lost interest in his frail wife. Unable to stop the war, she sees her husband carry her friend's heads on pikes from battle, another desperate reminder she is helpless. Eventually, Catalina is sent to death, on charges of witchcraft, by Caspian, all so his concubine can become queen. As the executioner sharpens his scythe, he asks Catalina for her last words, she only cries, pleading her innocence. She prays for a last chance, for whatever gods there are to show her mercy. What happens when Catalina wakes up back in Azura, where her step-brother instructs her that she will be sent to Elmina to be wed to Caspian? She has traveled 7 years back in time. Catalina vows to have her revenge on those who hurt her, starting with Caspian who killed her, and ending with the King of Azura who sent her to this bloody hell in the first place. She will rule Azura and Elmina, as queen, and she will get her revenge. The only way to do that? Be more dangerous than the danger. ----------------- "I assume you've never been told no?" I ask, batting my lashes and placing my hands on Caspian's chest. He smirks "Not ever." "Well then Your Highness, let me be the first" I smile "No Caspian. Go to hell" "Would you say yes there, my love?"
Rowans Choice by SPenBooks
44 parts Complete Mature
Completed ✨👸🏼 Born to the fairy elite, the royal line, next in line to take the crown, a queen to be announced on her next birthday, with her royal responsibilities and...one choice... only one... everything else has always been decided for her. "Who has Princess Rowan chosen to be her eternal mate?" A question, oh a question, It was already whittled down by the draw upon her birth, a family name picked at random, to keep this fairy line fair, hardly fair to the one picking, to do so from such a small pool of options. Luckily fairy families were large but as Rowan searched the faces in front of her, five brothers... all handsome, all rather eager to take the beautiful Princess's hand... it was the sister, stood to the left, observing, that caught Rowans eye and if she only got this one choice then it was clear. She had read the rules, many, many times, they clearly state to pick from the chosen families kin, sixteen years and over only, nothing on the gender, not that it had ever been done before but rules were rules and Rowan smirked as she let her choice roll over her tongue. She would choose the one thing her father would be most furious about but couldn't change, her choice, and no other fairy, king or not could change it. "Andromeda" she would announce, finger flexed toward her, and the entire kingdom would erupt in the great hall with shock, as Andromeda of the sky line, was pushed forward by her mother into the mix with her brothers. "Rowan" her father would curse "if you place that ring on her finger your line has ended... please rethink your choice" But Rowan didn't care... and Andy had called out to her long before now, the beautiful brunette with striking green eyes, a daring smile and a powerful magic that Rowan had long admired. And after all... it was Rowans choice... to hell with the rules. *I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS BOOK TO BE COPIED, OR ADAPTED ON THIS PLATFORM, OR ANY OTHER, BY ANYONE ELSE* *Completed February 2023*

The five ruthless princes rule with cruelty, each seeking to claim women for their twisted purposes. When Princess Aurora of the Zaverian Kingdom is captured during a brutal war, she becomes a pawn in their violent world. Stripped of her identity, she is forced to endure torment and humiliation as the princes fight for control over her.

Surrounded by cruelty and exploitation, she must navigate the horrifying traditions of Volsavy, using her strength to survive and fight back before she loses everything, including herself. Now she is their royal breeder. ........................................ I watched our little princess whimpering in her restraints, hands cuffed above her head and legs tied apart, still tired and almost unconscious of her actions. Her body is glazing with a thin film of sweat, and she is dripping our fluid out of her. Her eyes are blindfolded, and her mouth is gagged, so she breaks into another cry when Dante raises the whip in the air and hits her. ******Previously deleted***** 📩 To My Dear Readers Hey love, it's Nessie, author of The Royal Breeder. My old Wattpad account is gone... along with over 100 parts I poured my heart into. Half a million reads, thousands of votes, months of sleepless nights-vanished in seconds. The character aesthetics I made with so much love... gone too. I still remember my hands shaking, eyes burning, feeling so hollow. But I'm still here. I didn't give up. And I never will. 💙
Empress Of Wrath, Blood And Desire by She-stay-lit
41 parts Complete Mature
Aurora Velasco fled from a life promised to her: an entire empire on a golden platter. Despite possessing the skills, power, strength, and knowledge to rule, she never wanted the throne, not with the risks. Yet, her people will stop at nothing to see her ascend as their empress. Determined to escape this fate, she runs relentlessly, evading all who pursue her. Then she meets him. Marcellous Di Capo, a notorious and ruthless Don, becomes obsessed with Aurora after a one-night stand. Known as the devil incarnate, Marcellous is accustomed to taking possession of what he desires, and Aurora is no exception. The moment she holds a gun to his head, challenging her destiny, she becomes his obsession. Little does he know, the woman behind the mask is his worst nightmare. - "We are going to play a game, my sunshine," he murmurs, his hot breath trailing along the side of my neck. His hand finds my heated pussy, clutching it with just enough force to remind me exactly who it belong to. My heart stutters, my breath falters, and all I can feel is the searing heat of his presence. His lips hover dangerously close to my ear. "One where I fuck you recklessly, without mercy, and you won't make a sound... because if anyone around us hears, I will punish you." *** This book is unapologetically intense, filled with a few graphic violence and explicit content that explores the darker sides of humanity. It's not for people who shy away from brutal, unfiltered storytelling. If violence and sexual themes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the story for you. Proceed with caution- you've been warned. #1 in Spy: October 9, 2024 #1 in plot: January 17, 2025
