Enslaved by the general, Nic is forced into an army camp, but is saved by the spies of the rival kingdom of  Racreau and taken to the king. The king presents Nic with an offer: in exchange for his freedom, Nic must infiltrate the Kheoddesea Empire and send information on a weapon of mass destruction in hopes of preventing the next Alls-Ending War. To do this, he must enter the Inner Circle of the Emperor himself. Enter Cydiah Lihn, the Emperor's daughter and Knight Prestige-head of the Inner Circle. Nic must learn what is right and wrong in a world full of grey areas, and who to trust- before it's too late.

A Mate's Bond by GoddessAphrodite222

One scent. One glance. One bond she never wanted to find. At the Dark Blood Ball, Athena Drakos expects nothing more than duty and another night guarding her pack. What she doesn't expect is the intoxicating scent of a rain soaked forest and citrus, or the truth it leads her to. Xavier Rivers is the Alpha of Crystal Moon Pack. A monster, they say. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. He is also her mate. Once childhood friends, Athena and Xavier are now separated by bloodshed and loss. Xavier has become everything Athena swore she could never trust again. And Athena has become everything Xavier was never meant to want, scarred, guarded, and shaped by a past that nearly destroyed her. As an old war resurfaces and enemies close in, the mate bond tightens with every heartbeat. Athena must decide if she is strong enough to face a bond she never asked for, and whether Xavier is still the boy who once protected her, or the monster the world believes him to be. Because some bonds don't heal. They burn. Updates every Friday at 7:00 PM EST

The Alpha Broke the Omega by skylar_hopeee

"Will you reject me?" I ask, ignoring the lump that was forming in my throat. I fought the tears that were threatening to fall. Don't cry, please Hannah, don't cry. His green eyes looked like orbs of ice that stared straight through me. A sadistic smirk pulls up his lip and he puts his arm on my right side, blocking my escape route. "Reject you? That's an easy escape, don't you think?" his voice was as cold as his eyes, as his heart. "The moon goddess gave me you and I'll simply pay her for her kindness." his tone was laced with venom, hatred and disgust. "If she thinks that I can ever accept an Omega as my mate, she's damned wrong." "to those who grew up too fast" A/N: Hey there! Mind giving this story a chance? #1 Werewolf (09/24/2020) Thank you so much for giving this story a chance ♡

King Micajah by a_soft_bun

Years before his birth, it was prophesised that his soul would never be whole, that his heart would never beat in rhythm to his other half. Micajah was born with a dark soul, a soul that was corrupt. A soul that was more wolf than human. A soul incomplete. Nothing but an imperfect creation that walks earth. He will never have a true mate. When his turn to rule the wolf kingdom arises, after the death of his mother, he is forced to choose a female that has already been rejected from her true mate. Alongside his rise to the throne, the wolf kingdom begins to tear itself apart. An uprising begins. No one wants a creature, hated by the Moon Goddess herself, to rule. Even if he is the only royal heir by blood. Even if it is what tradition dictates. A male more beast than man, can never yield humanity, let alone love. But humanity can be learnt, and love seizes all - even those with corrupt souls.

This nightmare was indeed very real, and when the star of it appears to her in reality she learns that she is a very important part of a centuries old feud that is much bigger than herself, in a world of strange creatures hidden in plain sight; She must decide between who she will stand with, even when the lines drawn between what is right and wrong are marred along the way, and the kindling and termination of a deceptive romance develop. In different kingdoms of liars and deceivers, Rose treads carefully with who she can trust, but for someone that has the lives of many depending on her, is her judgment enough?

Vérzavar Ház by HeatherRunge

All he knows is desperate hope that his sister is alive and gathering the armies of Hel to come to the aid of Midgard. He had been a reckless fool, hoping to rescue Agent Daybright from the Eternal City. Never imagining that it was one of Sandriel's unholy triarii, the spy breaker for the Asteri themselves, that had weaseled her way into his stupid fucking heart. Lidia Cervos has spent the weeks since Ruhn's capture and Bryce's disappearance piecing herself back together. With the grim understanding that the Valbaran prince will never see her as anything other than a monster - which she is - she turns her focus to one purpose: keeping Ruhn alive. She continues living her double life in the company of the sadistic angel that she can't escape, breaking off more pieces of her soul than she realized she still possessed to distract Pollux whenever she can. And to find a way to get Ruhn Danaan and Hunt Athalar away from the Asteri and back to the relative safety of the rebellion's underground.

Mercy & Fire by gnbrave

Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God.
