The Lycan's Bargain by anjay_writess

"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** "She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation." When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late?"

The Phantom of the Woods by Bl00mingTales

In the quiet, superstitious town of Hollow's End, whispers circulate about a boy who lives deep in the woods-a boy cursed with half the face of a skeleton, feared by all who dare to speak his name. The townspeople warn that the forest is haunted, urging everyone to stay far from its shadowy borders. Lily, a daring 19-year-old who has never believed in old tales, sneaks into the woods one night, driven by her unshakable curiosity. There, she meets Kael, a mysterious and brooding figure whose life has been marred by a curse that forced him into isolation. Kael, now 23, lives alone in a secluded cabin, hiding behind a mask that conceals the skeletal half of his face. To his surprise, Lily isn't frightened by his appearance-she sees past the curse to the man he truly is. As the two grow closer, their bond begins to challenge the very beliefs that have kept Kael isolated for years. But the curse that haunts Kael runs deeper than anyone in the town knows. As Lily delves into the mystery of what really happened to Kael, she discovers that the curse isn't just about his appearance-it's tied to a dark secret that could destroy them both. In The Phantom of the Woods, Lily and Kael must face the unknown together, unearthing the truth behind the curse and testing whether love can break through the barriers of fear and isolation. Their journey leads them into the heart of the forest's darkness, where secrets, danger, and the very essence of Kael's humanity are at stake.

Crescent | ✓ by TheConfusedTurtle

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

Under the Same Sky by r0manticreader

In the bustling city of Vayloria, a young hero named Kael stood atop a high-rise, gazing out over the twinkling lights. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, but one name echoed louder than the rest: Selene. Years ago, in a quieter time, Kael and Selene were inseparable. They grew up together, two adventurous souls always seeking the next thrill. From exploring the enchanted forests on the outskirts of Vayloria to uncovering hidden secrets within the city, their bond was forged in the fires of countless adventures. Kael was the embodiment of hope and bravery. With his brown hair and determined brown eyes, he became the symbol of justice for Vayloria. His innate ability to manipulate light made him a formidable force against the shadows that threatened their city. Selene, on the other hand, was the strategic mind behind their escapades. Her intelligence was matched only by her fierce loyalty to Kael. Her blonde hair and piercing blue eyes gave her an air of innocence, masking her cunning nature. Her affinity for shadows complemented Kael's light, making them a perfect team. However, as they grew older, a shadow crept into their lives. Selene began to change, becoming more distant and secretive. Kael tried to reach out, but the more he tried, the further she seemed to slip away. One fateful day, Kael discovered the truth: Selene had allied herself with the darker forces in Vayloria. She had taken on the mantle of "Nightshade," using her powers for her own gain and leaving a trail of chaos in her wake. From that moment, Kael vowed to stop her, no matter the cost. He couldn't let her destroy the city they had sworn to protect. And so, the former best friends became bitter enemies, their battles shaking the very foundations of Vayloria.
