For the first time, Kael looked at her with something other than indifference or disdain. He looked at her like she was sunlight breaking through an endless storm.
But love was never meant to be simple. Whispers of rebellion grew louder, and Velina's family saw her budding affection for Kael as a betrayal. "Remember your duty," her father's letters warned. "He is the enemy."
Yet, the enemy wasn't Kael. It was the war tearing their worlds apart. It was the lies, the manipulation, the thirst for power that had made him the man he was.

Under the Same Sky
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.Complete
The DemiGod & the Dancer
"I am offering you a good life, a better life, Tiana. It'd be a shame not to take the offer...for you and our daughter." Tiana...I closed my eyes. Niklaus still said it like a caress. "I can't be in a marriage of convenience." With you. "We'll be a real family," he said quickly. "We need to be, for Reina's sake." What about my sake, I wanted to ask, but instead I stood there. I took a deep breath, and turned to look into his eyes again. They were soft and pleading, sincere. I drowned in them, I always did. It was why I ran years ago without telling him anything. I couldn't imagine being a baby's mama-a woman he laid with and didn't want a child with-an inconvenience. I had never really gotten over him. If there was one thing I knew besides how much I loved my daughter, it was that, and I was scared to death. "We used to be...really good together, you know." I felt my body flush at his change in tone. "Don't." He blinked at me, and then his eyes became completely suggestive. "You remember. I do, too. Please give this a chance," he said softly. "I'll do what it takes, Tatiana. I think we owe it to everyone involved to give this a shot." "What about Demigods?" "Demigods is a show. My life was a show, but it isn't now. It won't be." His whispered plea, his masculine scent, and his blue eyes penetrated my sensibilities. I was trying to think of what to say. I had rehearsed this in my mind for years, and now that he was here, I was going horribly blank. I tried to reason: Reina and I would be provided for, we would want for nothing, right? I just had to find a way to keep my heart away from him. The thought seemed impossible. He took my hand and kissed it, locking eyes to mine. "Do we have a deal then?" I looked at him, realizing that all devils weren't dark-haired and dark-eyed. "Deal."Complete![In The Company of Your Shadows || Phillip Graves x OFC [UNDER CONSTRUCTION]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/371526266-256-k71649.jpg)

The Last Light - Chapter 1: Blood and Fire
The world is drowning in shadow. Kingdoms fall, swallowed by war and ambition, and the light that once guided them has long since faded. Kael walks the path of the forsaken-not a hero, not a savior, but a man chasing the ghosts of a life stolen from him. Once a prince, now a warrior with nothing left but his blade and the fire that refuses to die within him. Malekar, the tyrant who razed his home and snuffed out its legacy, watches from the dark. He knows Kael is coming. He knows vengeance is patient. But the deeper Kael walks into the abyss, the more the lines blur between justice and destruction. If he falls, the last ember of what was once good in this world will fall with him. And with it-the last light.

What Are We?
...there is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable. " Kharis, why don't you just tell me how you feel because how you act is confusing me. " I said fed up with the uncertainty of our situation. " Is there something here or am I just making a fool of myself?" I scoffed. Having said that out loud, a cloud of embarrassment built over me. Of course there was nothing between us, he wasn't capable of looking at me as anything other than an intruder to his perfect little family. He just needed a shoulder to cry on and a heart to play games with and like the fool I am, I served it up to him on a silver platter. This was nothing but a way for him to deal with the whole Kalen situation. I was just a distraction. He remained completely silent and that was a good enough answer for me. I should have crushed this stupid crush years ago. I should have never let him get this close. " Okay, " I said softly. " I get it, I was just a distraction, a way to deal with what's happening." I had to fight real hard to fight back the tears that were just begging to be let free. He doesn't deserve them, no one does!. " I should have known! " I said feeling like an utter fool. I attempted to push past him but before I could he stepped in front of me and looked me dead in the eyes. Shit, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Kalen. He kept his eye contact as he slowly got to his knees. He's eyes were watery at this point and the guilt of mentioning Kalen was beginning to eat me up. Shit, shit! " I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..." I said getting to my knees as well. " I don't know how you've been able to over look all the shit I put you through over the years." He said with such a low tone, i don't think he was talking to me. He immediately looked away probably ashamed of himself. " I'm blackened at the heart by all the pain I caused you, so don't apologize I'm only getting what I deserve.

Kastiel Ravaryn, the fiercest general in all of Solmaria, was a name whispered in fear on the battlefield. His victories were countless, his strategies unparalleled, and his loyalty to his kingdom unwavering. When the king offered a prize for his triumphs-not wealth, nor land, but a woman of his choice-the court expected him to claim a noble lady, perhaps even Princess Avaria herself. But Kastiel shocked them all by choosing Seraphine Kaelor-a humble healer, a commoner, and a woman whose kindness had unknowingly captured his heart. Seraphine, who had spent her life healing the wounded and tending to the sick, never imagined she would be thrust into the heart of a royal scandal. She had always known her place, far from the glittering world of nobles and kings, but Kastiel's unexpected choice shattered her understanding of her own worth. As she became the center of court gossip, Seraphine found herself caught between the love of a man who defied his station and the dangerous obsession of Princess Avaria, who would stop at nothing to claim Kastiel for herself. While Kastiel battles foreign invaders, he is also forced to fight against the web of lies, betrayal, and envy that threaten to tear his world apart. With Seraphine's life hanging in the balance and the kingdom's future uncertain, Kastiel must confront not only the enemies at his doorstep but the haunting truth that love, above all, may be the war that leaves him broken beyond repair. In a land where loyalty and betrayal intertwine, where every victory is shadowed by loss, Kastiel and Seraphine must navigate a perilous path, one where their hearts and their lives are the ultimate prize.Complete
