"Why do you keep following me?" Kael's voice was low and strained. "You don't understand the danger."
Lyra took a deep breath, summoning her courage. "I know about the curse."
Kael's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly masked his surprise with a cold, indifferent expression. "Then you know to stay away," he said, turning away from her.
"No," Lyra said firmly, stepping closer. "Let me help you."

Let Me In- A Dark Fantasy Love Tale
The moon hung heavy in the sky, a silent sentinel over the dense forest that stretched beyond the kingdom's walls. No one dared enter-at least, no one who valued their life. For within those woods, dark things moved, hidden creatures that whispered in the night, and a shadow far older than any living being. Lily had been told since she was a child to stay far from the forest's edge, its twisted trees and unseen dangers a story passed down through generations. But despite her parents' warnings and the countless nights she spent staring out her tower window, longing for the freedom the world beyond offered, she was always drawn to it. There was something in the air-the scent of adventure, the promise of a life beyond her gilded cage-that called to her. The castle, for all its grandeur, was a prison in her eyes. She was a princess, yes, but not the kind whose heart was ever truly free. Her life had been shaped by rules and expectations, and though she smiled and played the part, something inside her yearned for more. More than perfect gowns and endless balls. More than endless stories of a world she would never know. On the night of the setting sun, when the sky bled into a thousand hues of purple and orange, Lily could no longer resist. The pull was too strong. And so, she slipped away-quietly, unnoticed-into the very woods they had warned her to avoid. She didn't know what waited for her there, only that she had to go. It was a journey into the unknown, and it might very well be her last. But what awaited her in the heart of the forest wasn't a creature of nightmare, but something far more dangerous-a whisper on the wind, a voice that promised her everything she had ever dreamed of. A voice that said, "Let me in."Complete
THE UNSTABLE PACT
A Cursed Witch. A Captive God. An Irrevocable Bond. For years, Lyra Blackwood has been slowly dying, tainted by the ancestral Ash Curse-a slow, miserable rot that has claimed her entire lineage. Desperate for a cure, she attempts the forbidden: a volatile ritual to harness a captured entity of pure power. Instead of a cure, she finds Kaelen, the devastatingly beautiful Lord of Shadow, and accidentally binds him to her very soul. - he shouldn't like it but to be free? or to actually fall in love? The pact should be simple: her command, his power. But Lyra quickly learns the horrifying truth: the curse is not a disease, but a centuries-old Seal maintaining Kaelen's prison. By binding him, she hasn't created a cure; she's created the perfect key to his absolute freedom. Now, Lyra must survive the mounting danger-the zealous Coven Hunter pursuing them, the total collapse of her moral world, and the volatile, icy hunger that flares every time she is forced to draw on Kaelen's essence. Trapped in a lethal, intimate journey across the magical world, Lyra and Kaelen are enemies fused by necessity. Every shared breath is a violation, every touch is an electrical surge of power and resentment. But as the ancient Seal weakens, Lyra must make a choice: honor her ancestors' sacrifice and die, sending Kaelen back to the abyss... ...or choose survival, claim the god of chaos as her own, and become the supreme power the world should truly fear. The battle isn't for the world. It's for her soul the one she wants-and the Shadow she's sworn to control.
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.
We Who Lie
He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales. She believed in love, in music, in Cyril Abecassis- the second-born prince with ink-stained fingers and a wounded heart. But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.

Enchantment of the Bow
Lyra knew that one day she would be set into an arranged marriage like a chess piece. She had been preparing for it her whole life, and she was almost alright with her fate. But she never thought that her father would choose the man that he did. That decision changed everything. The King of Whales is ruthless, more than twice her age and surrounded by tainted gold and loads of unsavory rumors. There have been many wives of his before Lyra, with no explanations to the untimely deaths of the previous five. With each dead Queen came more money from their kingdoms, straight into the King's portly lap. Disguised as a young man, Lyra runs from her duty as the only Princess of Nordic. She cuts her hair, takes her steed and disappears into the night with her father's men hot on her heels. Enter Kaladin's team. Occupation: Mercenaries. Lyra uses skills taught to her by a close, childhood friend and plays herself into the trust of the dangerous strangers until they accept her, or rather, "Navani", into their group. What will happen to her once they see through her web of lies and tricks? Will Lyra give herself up as Princess when she is reunited with her long-lost friend, or will she carry on as a boy with the mercenaries? Follow Lyra to see what she will do when she comes to realize that things have gotten far too big for her to handle on her own. There are assassin's out for her head, king's thirsting for her blood, and an underground network of people who live for her ruin. But there is also an unlikely Prince to defend her, who has some tricks of his own to rely on. The Princess soon sees that she is not nearly as alone as she may have once thought. What will Lyra do when she comes to terms with her destiny? Will she face it this time with her new friends, or will she chose to run away again? Cover made by @-rebellixus-Complete

An Unearthly Rose
[Yandere X Reader] You stared at him through his dark emerald green eyes, he leaned in closer to you and breathed heavily on your neck, "where do you think your going princess?". You pushed him aside and started backing up towards a corner. "Far, Far away from a monster like you!" You heard him let out a low chuckle. "Oh my dear dear dear Queen. No matter where you go, you will always be mine; it's about time you got that through that pretty little skull of yours." You were about to counter answer him, as you felt a wave of tiredness crash over you. Then you saw him smirk "You will always remain mine, my beautiful Unearthly Rose... "Complete
