The Kingdom of Oslo, nestled in a mountain region surrounded by dense forests and towering peaks, is ruled by the ruthless and power-hungry King Magnus. Beyond the palace, in the enchanted forests of Oslo, magical creatures thrive, their existence safeguarded by a mysterious half-angel, half-human guardian named Ivar. When King Magnus attempts to exploit the forest's magical power for his own gain, Ivar fiercely protects it. Despite repeated attempts to kill Ivar, the king ultimately meets his demise at Ivar's hands.
Ivar's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Amelia, a spirited and beautiful village girl. While Ivar's devilish charm and teasing nature initially frustrate Amelia, their encounters slowly transform into a deep and forbidden love. Their bond is tested further when Prince Caspian, the king's son and heir, meets Amelia at the grand ball and becomes infatuated with her. Caspian's advances are repeatedly rejected by Amelia, who remains loyal to Ivar.
Upon his father's death, Caspian ascends the throne and learns that Ivar, was responsible for the king's death. Consumed by vengeance and jealousy, he discovers Amelia's love for Ivar and abducts her, determined to claim her as his own. This act ignites a fierce rivalry between Ivar and Caspian, with the fate of Amelia and the kingdom hanging in the balance.
As Caspian's obsession deepens and his tyrannical rule mirrors his father's, Ivar must navigate his growing love for Amelia while protecting the magical forest from further harm. The story weaves a tale of love, power, and sacrifice, where destiny pits a guardian against a king in a battle that could reshape Oslo forever.

Threads of Control
In the depths of Zaun's underworld, your name is whispered like a shadow. A thief of secrets, a broker of whispers, you've built your reputation on information-slipping through alleys, taverns, and backroom deals with eyes sharp enough to cut and ears tuned to the slightest tremor of betrayal. But power attracts danger, and one night, you cross the wrong line. A job gone sideways entangles you with Silco's operation-the most dangerous man in Zaun's rising empire. You expect death, chains, or worse. What you don't expect is the way he looks at you-not as prey, but as something useful. Something worth keeping. Silco draws you deeper into his world, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is a death sentence. And in that world waits Jinx-a fragile storm of chaos and brilliance. Somehow, she latches onto you, her small hands clinging as if you could shield her from the madness. Against your better judgment, you become her anchor, the "mother" Silco cannot be. But the deeper you fall into Silco's orbit, the harder it is to tell where survival ends and desire begins. You are his spy, his confidant, his foil-and perhaps his undoing. Because in Zaun, love is never gentle. It is obsession. It is power. And once Silco decides you are his, there is no escape.
To Test My Fate
My heart was racing. My Lycan danced around in my head as I was meeting with her for the second time now. I froze as her eyes met with mine again. Only this time I saw her more clearly. She did not smell of the rouge that was lying before me a year ago, and her weakened figure was replaced by a symphony of curves that was blessed by the moon goddess herself. Her face was perfect, with the most seductive lips I have ever seen on a she wolf. However, there was also something strangely powerful about my beautiful mate sitting before me. I cursed to myself quietly. I knew that she hated me because of the way she has been treated this last year inside of my kingdom. And I deserved that. However she was still mine, and no one was to touch her. Not even my gamma. Not even my Luna... There wasn't always tension between Alexander and the rouge werewolves around his kingdom. Not until one killed his first fated mate, and disappeared into the wilderness. Now, every rouge that he encounters is either severely punished, or worst. Deciding to rekindle his relationship with his childhood sweetheart, and now Luna, he encounters a huge problem. He is drawn to his new fated mate more than he could ever imagine, meeting her for a second time after almost rejecting her and even wanting her dead. It is also around this time as well that his current Luna is now being looked at through new lenses, thanks to a watchful eye in the kingdom.
