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.

Deviant Fate by __EL__el

"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.

Beyond The Lie by midnight_muxe

I laughed and joked with the group, feeling carefree for the first time all evening. But then, I saw Eryx's dark gaze on me, his eyes narrowing as he strode towards me. "Excuse us," he said curtly, his hand wrapping around my elbow like a vice. He pulled me away from the crowd, dragging me to a less crowded corner of the hall. "What's wrong?" I whispered, feeling a shiver run down my spine as he backed me into the shadows. "Your behavior will raise suspicions," he whispered back, his breath hot against my ear. "My family can't think we're not serious about each other." I rolled my eyes, feeling a spark of defiance. "I'm just having fun, Eryx. Don't be so possessive." But before I could continue, Eryx's gaze flicked to the side, his expression changing. He spotted someone approaching, and his eyes locked onto mine with an urgent intensity. "Just go along with it, Luna," he whispered. And then, his lips claimed mine in a fierce and possessive kiss. I felt like I was melting into him, my heart racing with excitement. "You're mine," he growled, his eyes burning with intensity. ----------------------------- Adeline never believed in fate until the night she stumbled upon Eryx Valtor. His piercing gaze and chiseled features hinted at a life shrouded in secrets. Little did she know, their chance encounter would unravel a web of lies and bind them together in a dance of deception.

My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: Cyra is pulled into a foreign world where humans are rarities while vampires, elves, werewolves, witches, and more strange creatures are the norm. That's the least of her worries though. Now the bride of one of the most powerful vampires in all of the kingdom, she is faced with two choices. One: give in and accept her doomed future with a husband who detests humans, or two: successfully kill him before he is crowned King of Bestias.

The Whispering Throne by kitrimichael

"What the devil are you doing, woman!" He snatched at the sheet and viciously pulled it from my grip. I gasped, teetering on my bare feet as the sheet unwound to reveal my undergarments.

Accepting Fate by Blackcatlover_87

"If I want to tie you to this bed you are going to let me. Because it's what I want." Orion felt how her body relaxed. After all it was what he commanded of her. He rocked his body for a moment inside of hers just savoring the feel. Feeling the sweet heat and the way it gripped him. He didn't think ecstasy was the right word for what it felt like to slam himself into her and have his release. Just thinking about doing it again made his gut clench in anticipation and his cock throb almost painfully inside of her. "If that's what you want then." She stretched her arms up above her head and her gaze just daring him to do it. Like what he wanted didn't really matter to her, she'd do as she pleased. Just the sight of her stretching out below him, daring him with her gaze and clearly asking for it, made him lose control for a moment. Which had not happened before with anyone. Mindlessly wanting them like he wanted her right then. It was just really exciting and arousing seeing her offering herself like she did. *fully available on inkitt subscription

The Forbidden Entity (BWWM) by JLB_18

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.

Amidst all the turmoil, Sayora learns she's not as innocent as she once believed. . . . . . ⚠️ Read at your discretion.
