The Taste of Iron by Easterhead

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

Hellbound Desire: The Demon King's Obsession 🔥 by XanderThornofficial

💀 Hellbound Desire: The Demon King's Obsession 💀 In a world where passion and darkness collide, Elena, a simple mortal, never imagined her life would spiral into chaos after falling for Xander, a man hiding a dark demonic past. Their love ignites a forbidden desire that transcends time, unearthing secrets of a 5,000-year-old curse, betrayal, and a burning love that refused to die. But fate had other plans - Lilith, the envious demoness and sister to Elena in her past life, would stop at nothing to claim Xander for herself. She tore them apart once, and she's ready to do it again - this time, with the power of a Demon God. From intense passionate love to ruthless bloodshed, from mortal pain to demonic ecstasy, Elena and Xander fight against fate, curses, and a vengeful sister who would rather see them burn than reunited. But the depths of hell will tremble when Elena awakens her true demonic power - a power that can either save her love or destroy them all. With savage sex, primal lust, deadly battles, and a hunger for revenge, their hellbound desire threatens to shatter realms. Will Elena and Xander reclaim their love and raise their destined demon child, or will Lilith's obsession consume them all? This is not a love story - it's an unholy obsession. 🔥 Enter the realm of sin, seduction, and savage love. 🔥

"You're in my territory now, princess, and you'll abide by my rules. Is that clear?" he whispered in my ear as he backed me against the wall, his hand slithering around my waist and pulling me closer to him. __________ Leading the largest, most feared werewolf pack in America wasn't easy. As the Alpha, Haden Pierce carried the strength of his pack on his shoulders since his father was attacked by rogues. At the age of 17, he was forced to build bonds, strengthen relationships, and create a pack aura that no one would dare challenge. He led by fear, but he also led by loyalty and a determination to protect his family at all costs. After the years passed, he had given up on finding his mate and planned out his future so his pack would remain strong from the rogues that threatened to bring them down. His hatred of rogues and what they stood for ran deep. That was until Zara Ferrari, his mate, crossed his lands. The very thing he despised - a rogue - was now his mate. And as much as he tried to fight, as much as he tried to resist, the fire between them was undeniable. Would he give in or will they both get burned? __________ IGNITE is a slow-burn but you'll enjoy passionate mates, possessive exes, reunited families, unexpected betrayals and so much more!

Spellbond & Bloodbound by DayanaraMae

"I should run. I always do. And I'm good at it. But this time... something feels different. Maybe it's the place. Or maybe it's a certain someone who makes me want to stay. Even though he's made it painfully clear that I'm not welcome here, a part of me feels connected-like I belong. I should stop overthinking. Just this once... maybe I should let my heart decide."

Now trapped in the Temple of the First Light-a gilded prison wrapped in lies-Elliora is forced to endure the very worst of Varethiel's manipulations. Visions of betrayal. Twisted truths. Pain whenever she dares to believe in the men she loves. The more she resists him, the more he breaks her. And while her four fallen angels tear through the Veil to bring her home, Elliora's soul bond deepens in ways no one expected- forcing Sorren, Killian, Ronan, and Cian to face just how much they've already failed her. But rescuing her won't be the end. Because the war for the shards has only just begun.
