The Alpha's royal mate. by daalroti123
54 parts Ongoing Mature
His hands cup my face, and sparks travel down my spine at the touch, I gasp. The footsteps are closer, "I'm sorry." He whispers. "Sorry?" I mumble, half dazed, half confused. His hand slides up my neck, fitting in the curve like it was made for it. "For this-" And then- The pain blooms sharp and sudden at my neck as his teeth sink in. For a heartbeat, it eclipses everything-the spear, the blood, the world pressing in around us. My body jolts against his, a broken gasp tearing from my throat as heat flares where his teeth pierce my skin. And then- Everything goes black. And I'm gone. In a world where vampires and werewolves are sworn enemies, Atrix-the last Alpha of a dying bloodline is shackled in silver, awaiting execution under the moon that was meant to crown him. Elora, the daughter of his jailer, steps into his cell with nothing but questions and a heart she swore she'd never offer to a monster. But fate doesn't care for war or bloodlines. And love doesn't ask for permission. When secrets unravel and loyalties bleed, Atrix and Elora must choose: follow the path carved by their ancestors-or burn it to the ground together. Forbidden. Feral. Fated. The Alpha doesn't bow... not even for love.
The Bound and The Broken by Arianna59_
40 parts Complete Mature
In a realm fractured by rebellion and centuries of mistrust, Princess Kiralyn Vaelora has spent her life behind palace walls, trained to be a symbol of unity while never truly trusted with the crown she's meant to inherit. When she's taken hostage by Cael Draven-the exiled prince of the once-feared kingdom of Varanor-she expects cruelty, not diplomacy. But Cael doesn't want war. He wants peace, and he's willing to risk everything to force the world to see Varanor not as rebels, but as survivors. What begins as a political standoff soon unravels the truths both of them were raised to believe. As Kira and Cael navigate fragile truces, simmering attraction, and the haunting power of their rare, forbidden bond, they uncover secrets that shake the foundation of both their kingdoms-including a plan that would see Cael destroyed and Kira used as a weapon. With rebellion reignited and loyalty torn between blood and heart, Kira must choose: follow the legacy of a mother who would burn the world to control it, or stand beside the enemy she was never meant to love. To protect the future, she will have to break everything. Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, political intrigue, dragon bonds, and fierce heroines claiming their own power.
