Dragons Desire by Hotmesschild

In a kingdom on the brink of annihilation, the relentless advance of a demon clan casts a growing shadow over the land, shrinking its once-mighty realms. As hope fades, the only salvation lies in an ancient legend-the Dragon Guardian, a mythical being bound by destiny to protect the kingdom every two centuries. Yet, with faith in the legend all but extinguished, the Dragon has remained dormant in the perilous mountains for eons. In a desperate bid to save the kingdom, the king turns to Alina, a seemingly inconsequential servant girl who hides a secret lineage tied to the royal bloodline. Cast aside and overlooked, Alina is thrust into a perilous journey into the mountains, the last hope for a kingdom that has long forsaken its ancient protector. Within the depths of a shadowy cave, Alina awakens the Dragon-a majestic, black beast of breathtaking power whose displeasure at being disturbed is palpable. Instead of exacting vengeance, the Dragon offers her a tantalizingly dangerous pact, binding their fates in ways that defy all expectations. As Alina becomes entangled in this mystical connection, she finds herself drawn into a world of forbidden desire and ancient magic

As the Crow Falls | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
