Ravenous
Aeris, a once-naïve mage who had accepted to have her powers hidden by the Magic Government for protection, soon discovers how mistaken she was. Betrayed by people she trusted and hounded by the cult known as the Broken Star for years, she becomes their target after consistently refusing their request to join. When they strike, Aeris expects death-yet fate has other plans. Instead of perishing, she awakens in the depths of a strange forest, her body bruised from an attack by a mystical beast. Soon, she finds herself stranded in the Nemophilist Forest, a notorious wilderness on an island owned by the Hunter Association, where only the fittest survive the cruel selection trials. These trials are designed to test every boundary, subjecting participants to terrible physical and magical challenges, forcing them to face their deepest fears, and often resulting in death for all but the most hardy. Here, Aeris finds a peculiar man-Luther, a mystery figure with an unlimited energy source rushing through his body, making him an ideal and irresistible "food tanker" for her. His inexhaustible energy reservoirs can finally fulfill her devouring powers, which leave her eternally hungry and restless. What begins as an instinctual pursuit to keep him healthy and feed her ravenous desire soon grows into a far wider journey. As Aeris and Luther traverse the increasingly deadly trials, they unearth secret truths-about Luther's history, the diabolical conspiracy behind the Broken Star's strike, and the far-reaching power struggles governing the world. The world is darker and more intricate than Aeris had ever imagined. The legends and whispers she once thought were simply tales are becoming horrifying realities, and every new secret she finds only links her more to the webs of a conspiracy that threatens all she holds dear. Can Aeris escape the sinister plan around her, or will her need for answers and Luther's energy lead her to become a pawn in a far greater, more lethal game?

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

She survives by keeping her past sealed tight- every bruise, every secret, every ugly truth locked behind elegance and restraint. Her life is a performance, and she never misses a step. Until she slips... ...and falls straight into the orbit of the man she was taught to despise most. One reckless act- done under the guise of a false persona- sets something irreversible in motion. A line is crossed. A fire is sparked. And the illusion of distance between them shatters. That night leaves her with a hangover, and a realization she can't escape. You don't have to die to go to hell. Some men bring it right to you. He is power without conscience. A presence felt more than seen. The devil everyone fears. She is a mess dressed in designer. A voice that refuses to be silenced. The angel everyone envies. Logic says they should never align. That their worlds, their loyalties, and their sins are fundamentally opposed.

The Blood Credit [18+][complete]
❝ "Please... please, please," I whine into his mouth, broken and needy. He smirks against my lips, savouring my desperation. "Please what, pretty girl? Hm? Talk to me- I know you can." ❞ ⁺˚⋆｡°✩₊✩°｡⋆˚⁺ At Novae Vale, secrets aren't kept. They're traded. After a year lost to grief, Scarlett Cheslyn-Arden steps through the iron gates of the world's most elite academy and straight into the shadows of the Order, a society where favours have teeth and debts are written in blood. Win the Trials and you earn a single promise powerful enough to crown a king or ruin a family. She's ice-poised, untouchable, determined to survive on her own terms. He's heat-Xavier Caelum, her brother's best friend, her fiancé to be, a walking sin with lazy smiles and razor edges. They're paired for the Trials, bound by rules that make desire dangerous and silence compulsory. Underground fights thrum beneath the pool house. Poker nights hum with champagne and lies. There are masks, messages, and the kind of parties where music vibrates through your bones. In the dark between competitions, their banter turns sharp, their glances turn heavy, and touch becomes a promise neither of them should make. To win the Blood Credit, Scarlett must play the Order's game-clever, ruthless, unafraid. To keep her heart, she should stay away from Xavier. But when power tastes like his mouth and safety looks a lot like his hands on her waist, restraint starts to feel like a losing strategy. A sensual, slow-burn elite dark romance about found family, forbidden desire, and the cost of choosing your own fate-where every secret has a price, and every kiss is a risk.Complete

Marrying My Daughter's Guardian (COMPLETE)
/Highest Ranking /#1 in TRIALS/ Maddie slowly opened her eyes. As if, she was taken aback from a majestic world with sweet voices of singing angels. A set of dark and round eyes were locked onto hers and she was firmly held by two strong arms while his fingers tingling her back with soft caress. One moment, Matthew looked at her with so much flame and of so much passion as if those eyes reflect what's deep within hers. She longs for him and that any moment she will explode. Then passed another moment, the passionate look in his eyes turned into dreadful gaze. She was tightly held up to the point that he is already hurting her. "How far can you go, Maddie?" Matthew sarcastically uttered. "I am very happy that you came back for Sabina, I thought you're a good mother after all. I was led to believe that you did that for her sake, and deep within you, a caring mother really exists. But now, knowing your daughter's worth, you're too eager to claim her fortune by dragging me into this?", he paused for a moment. "I can never fall for this. You maybe Sabina's birth mother but not until I am breathing, you can't touch anything that is hers. She doesn't deserve a fortune-hungry mother like you!" Matthew pushed Maddie so hard that she fell unto her knees. She is in pain not because her knees got scratched from her fall, she is in pain because she knew Matthew has already judged her. Matthew Blaine, her daughter's legal guardian, was a perfect dad for Sabina. He had always been good to her, loving her as his very own. With Matthew and Sabina, Maddie felt it is such a perfect family, something that she has dreamed all her life. But how could they be a perfect family when Matthew was too vindicated that she doesn't fit to be the perfect mom?Complete

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.
