This is the tragic love story of the Commander of the royal army and the masked Prince from the enemy Kingdom.

The ancient gods abandoned them when they saw humanity struggle. The only trace of their existence were the marks they imprinted on certain people, runes that allowed a few of them to have powers like controlling fire, flying, super strength, read minds, bend light, master the shadows, and more.

It sounded amazing, right? But it was far from it. These people were hunted down for their marks by a new religion called The Children of Dawn. They were being brutally murdered, so the royal army of Serenkal decided to intervene, even fight to death for them.

That is the world Lien lived in, being a Commander to the royal army. But what she wouldn't have guessed was a beautiful man entering her life and shaking everything upside down. Her friend Wystan, who she had a crush on, told her to get away from him, but the male had a certain allure to him that made her want more.  Like a forbidden fruit. 

It wasn't any man either, it was the Prince of Miyak, the Kingdom that was her sworn enemy for personal reasons she hasn't told a soul, so that complicated things. That and also his arrogant and sarcastic personality made her hate him from the get go, but the male had other plans it seemed.

While trying to survive her dangerous daily missions, stay undercover and search for information to stop this new deadly religion that had people in a trance, Lien has to try and mantain her normal life, while also going through unresolved feelings and new scary ones.All Rights Reserved

Speared By Heart ♡ (Yandere! Male! Warrior x Princess! Reader) by KittenStealth_

PART I: Princess (Y/N). Instead of being offered to join the war and fight back for your freedom, you were almost handed away to marriage on a silver platter with a man you used to love. He grew cold with age and ruling a kingdom did not do his personality any good; being sent over to him for marriage now would be a death sentence for you. Not doing it would mean a death sentence for everyone else. Still, you had to run away. You never wanted the royal life nor to get married at the exact young age of 20. Running away to a small town nearby was not the best idea you could have ever come up with, but it served well as the town agreed to keep you and put you to work. Mainly with hand-to-hand combat training. You were never allowed to do anything of the sort when at the hands of your mother, so it was nice for a change. But what were they training you for? The war. No one knew you were the princess, and they were expecting to have you frontline back into the kingdom you tried so hard to escape from to fight in the war. Escaping now to anywhere else in the world seemed to be the only good option. One person in particular wasn't going to let you do that. Clyde Ray. ♡ PART II: Coming soon :) (All rights reserved for both the story and art. This story is a visual novel! Play it now on my itch.io account linked to my profile.)

Dragon Blood by mwendlandt

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her. In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat. Or risk the extinction of her kind.

There's No Good by Gabrielle0841

••• In a world of heroes there will always be a villain. Because wherever there's a hero around, there will be a villain lurking in the shadows. Because that's common sense right? For every hero, there's a villain. Hero's wouldn't be needed if there weren't bad guys for them to stop. So every story has a villain. This story is about a villain. But what if the villain is actually not so evil at all. What if she's just a girl, being punished not because of what she did. But for what her father has. Is that fair? You don't get to pick your parents. But you do get to pick and decide how you, yourself will act. This is a story about a girl. Maybe evil, maybe good. But under all the labels thrown at her, she's just a girl. Forced into a life she didn't want. Forced to go to school with people who look down on her. Forced by her father to follow a plan. A plan to make the world's most loved boy, the prince, to fall in love with her. All so that her father can get what he wants. But her father didn't think of one slight flaw. The fact that his daughter, is just a girl. And even if he's a prince, he's just a boy. And could it be more obvious? Naturally, one is bound to fall in love. It's all fun and games until the wrong person falls in love. Love fucks everything up. •••

'Broken Image' ♡ (MXM) ♡ by Fangkun6

(This is targeted for people 16+) "Same with hurting you. Or marking you.." He slid his arm gently down to his back, closing his hand around a bruise that lay on the hero's waist.
