150 years ago a seal was broken and magic flooded the world. Bloodlines that had lain dormant for centuries were reawakened and chaos reigned. 

Now, The Arc has taken over and order has been restored but it's a tenuous kind of peace. Anything and anyone who threatens that peace is snatched from their bed in the middle of the night, never to be seen again. 

Lexi knows she's something different, something dangerous. So she's been living her life in the shadows, never letting anyone get too close. When, in a moment of desperation and adrenaline, she finds herself saving a powerful fae's life from the basement of an Arc facility, her world is turned upside down. She agrees to help the infuriating but beautiful man recover his power but it turns out to be more than she bargained for when they discover a device implanted inside him that blocks his magic. Bound by blood and secrets the pair must work together to figure out how to remove it before it's too late. 

**Mature. Explicit scenes. Swearing.**

The Forbidden Entity (BWWM) by JLB_18
27 parts Ongoing Mature
In this world of supernatural beings, power, and greed act as a catalyst for violence and war. Humans are subordinate in every sense and reside at the bottom of the hierarchy. Vampires hunt them for sport, and other beings condemn them to forced labor. Lycans are the only creatures to offer humans peace and solidarity, making their territory a place of refuge for the dwindling species. Most humans live under the security that lycans are honorable enough to keep their word. Thus, they follow their rules and live a quiet and quaint life. Humans can even choose to work at the royal castle for wages. 
So, what happens when a cautious eighteen-year-old with a big heart and humble personality decides to seize the opportunity? 
Sayora is sensitive, selfless, soft-spoken, and empathetic. She's like a beacon that attracts everything in her path. That notion becomes even more apparent when she arrives at the castle to obtain a position. However, her life takes a drastic turn shortly after her arrival, and Sayora is propelled into a world of lust, sex, violence, danger, history, mates, and carnal desires. 
Powerful secrets get unveiled, jealousy arises, and the threat of war looms over the castle. Lycans hold most of the world's power, and their enemies will stop at nothing to dethrone them. Amidst all the turmoil, Sayora learns she's not as innocent as she once believed. . . . . . ⚠️ Read at your discretion. This story is MATURE, and it's rated 18+ for crude language, strong violence, gore, descriptive sex scenes, smut, nudity, explicit content, taboo topics, themes of suicide and depression, and BDSM elements. ⚠️ 
NOTE: The MCs do not meet right away!!!!! I take my time introducing them, so if you prefer rushed stories where the MCs profess their love in the second chapter, then this book isn't for you.

"I've had enough of your games," He growled, sending an involuntary shiver up my spine. "For the last time, who... the fuck... are you?" The demand had his voice dropping a pitch lower with each word and it suddenly got harder to breathe. A ripple of anxiety began a slow crawl up my spine, and I moistened my lips. "I- I'm Willow, Julie's girlfriend?" Why was I nervous all of a sudden? "Again with this shit, I don't care who the fuck your little girlfriend is. What do you want?" ~•~•~•~ Following her father's passing, Willow Macomber and her family were plunged into the harsh realities of poverty, where they struggled to make ends meet while burdened with debt. Saddled with a neglectful mother consumed by addiction and betrayed by a world that preyed on the vulnerable, Willow's once fragile heart hardened over time, leading her to develop a deep mistrust of men and seek solace with a woman who offered the love and security she longed for. Unbeknownst to Willow, Julie's deception poses a grave threat, entangling her in a complex web of deceit. Enter Dorian Wilhelm-White: ruthless, self-absorbed, volatile, and strikingly handsome, Dorian embodies everything Willow despises. Yet from their very first encounter, she was his, whether she liked it or not; and against his better judgment, Dorian is drawn to her fierce defiance with a passion. Sparks fly despite their stark differences, and attraction, unlike anything before simmers beneath the surface of their anger and suspicion. However, Dorian harbors his own darkness, and Willow soon comes to realize that giving in to him may come at a steep price... But is it one she's ready to pay?

I screamed, pulling harshly at all my restraints, attempting to get free, hearing the harsh clank of metal on metal with every movement. Colder than the table beneath me, chills ran through my body. This couldn't be happening, please. A sadistic laugh rang through the room and my head fell in defeat as my eyes squinted closed, not wanting to see his face. "Yes, actually." I felt his disgusting, filthy hands trail down my arms. I could feel him leaning forwards, moving himself closer to me. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes, so I just lay there, waiting for what I knew was to come. "You're mine now, mut." His voice made my body tense more than it already had. The way he sounded so angry. So possessive. I dared myself to speak, "W-what ar-are you gonna d-do to me?" My voice shook and wavered so much in my fear that it was numb to my ears.

"Gweneria." Arowin's deep voice bounced off the walls forcing everyone to flinch by the sheer volume. My demeanor never changed. I won't roll over like a dog for him. Glaring straight into his golden eyes I smirked. "It seems you're late to the party, my dearest divine." I sighed with fake disappointment. "Luckily, you've made it in time for the best part." I shot a wicked smile towards Gerin. I practically felt his fear from where I stood. "Enough of this flippancy!" Gerin shrieked. "This filth is nothing. A lowly woman!" He spoke to the crowd. "You couldn't kill me even if you tried." He scoffed. A deadly grin graced my face as I reveled in the thought of proving him wrong. "Shall we test his theory, Arowin?" I glimpsed over my shoulder. "Stop this, Gweneria." He spit. I could tell he was on edge. He didn't expect this and he was enraged that I was going to disobey him. "What to do?" I tapped my finger on my chin in indecision. "My divine doesn't want me to entertain everyone. That seems like such a shame though." I feigned sadness then dropped my facade entirely as a dead look overcame my face. No one moved as they kept their stares on me. They feared me and I couldn't be more pleased. •A fantasy world ruled under a sadistic old king, whose time is coming to an end. An independent young woman with a deadly gift and a complicated destiny. A domineering prince preparing to succeed his father, stakes his claim on a woman who just might be his downfall.
