Life without love is a scary, cold and brittle place. A place no one would desire to live in. Since the disappearance of her mother over a decade ago that's all Uki Alnuri has ever known. Each day a chore to keep her father happy and live hidden, outcast from the world. River water and deer meat only sustains life, it doesn't enrich it and that is the one thing she needs, the one thing she craves for every day. The only trickle she is allowed is found when she travels to a nearby market where an old man encourages her to hide honeyed berries beneath the folds of her cloak with a gentle smile.
Her life hasn't changed in years. Until she meets a boy who she believes to be completely unimportant. Until her father finds out and her world is thrust into chaos.
A boy who has spent his life running and a girl who has spent her life hiding. What horrors lie in their past and what torment lies in their future. With spells bound around them both, the web is cast so wide there is no way to know where is safe. If you don't know anywhere safe the only smart thing to do is assume everywhere isn't.
Uki was quiet and placid when she needed to be but that is not what the world requires of her now. She must become something more.
Within her the beast takes a careful step. Then another.

Tej-Tara : The Yuvaraj's Destruction
Tejendra~~~~~ Loving Drishti was my only truth. Marriage was never supposed to change that. I was forced into this. Forced to take vows with a woman who meant nothing to me. Nayantara was a mistake written in my blood, a punishment I didn't deserve. A wife in name, nothing more. She should have been easy to ignore. Obedient, quiet, everything a perfect wife should be. But she wouldn't stay in the shadows where she belonged. She pushed, she defied, she dared to make me see her. And I hate her for it. Because every time she stands her ground, I falter. Every time she looks at me with those damn unshaken eyes, I forget. Forget that my heart isn't hers to claim. Forget that I was never supposed to want her. But I do. My punishment. My addiction. My downfall. Nayantara~~~~~ I was never meant to love my husband. Not when his heart was never mine to hold. Not when every word he speaks, every glance he gives, is filled with a love that belongs to another woman. I tried. I played the part, whispered the prayers, carried the weight of a marriage that was doomed from the start. But what's the point? A man like Tejendra Pratap will never love me, and I no longer care if he does. I won't beg. I won't wait. I won't waste another second wondering if I'll ever be enough for him. Let him stare. Let him burn. Let him hate the way I no longer flinch under his gaze. My cage. My lesson. My husband.Complete

I knew it would break me and shatter me into pieces but I prayed to hear a negative answer when I very well knew what I was expecting was next to impossible. "YES" He replied nonchalantly. His hair looked messy from how many times she would have raked her fingers through it. His naked tattooed back had visible red marks of her nails which only broke my heart into million peices. ********************** He was the wildest dream, She was a dreamer. He was the bright sunshine, She was even darker than a shadow on new moon night. He was hot tornado, she was cool sea breeze. He was the dew on new morning leaves, She was a wilting flower.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
Crude Prophecy (BxB) M-Preg Series (Eng. Version)
Do you know the meaning of life- when everything you believe in is destined to end? Sixty years ago, the world of Shiltz collapsed when the Five Dragon Seals were shattered. Dragons awakened. Kingdoms burned. The balance between humans, elves, and orcs was erased by blood and fire. From the ruins of that failure, a prophecy remained. "The Ward of Narsillia shall rise, and peace will follow in their wake." No one knows who the Ward truly is-or if they even exist. A savior to some. A curse to others. As darkness spreads once more and the three kingdoms stand on the edge of extinction, fate begins to move. Old wounds reopen. Loyalties fracture. And two souls, bound by destiny and desire, are drawn together in a world that punishes love as cruelly as weakness. In a land where even hope has a price, will salvation demand sacrifice... or something far more dangerous?
