---ONC 2025---
Princess Selene has lived her life within the safe confines of her kingdom's walls, her destiny sealed by an arranged marriage to the Demon King of a neighboring realm. The union, meant to prevent war and bloodshed, is her duty-but it's one she never wished for. 

Accompanied by Rael, the Demon King's cold and enigmatic royal guard, Selene embarks on a dangerous journey to the kingdom of Varethia. For the first time, she steps outside the palace's gilded shadow, her youthful optimism clashing with the harsh realities of the world beyond--where treachery, deception, and violence lurk at every turn. As they travel across wild lands and face threats both seen and unseen, Selene begins to see Rael in a new light. 

Their growing connection forces her to confront an impossible choice: honor her duty to her kingdom or follow the unexpected emotions blooming in her heart. Will she take the chance to choose her own fate and risk the lives of others, or will she fulfill her duty and sacrifice her heart for the sake of peace?

"You're the prince. I'm your guard. This can't happen." The words are sharp, spoken like a warning, but neither of them moves away. "If anyone finds out..." "Let them. I'd fight the whole world for you." The crown prince has always felt trapped-by duty, by expectation, by the weight of a crown he doesn't want. Now, he's being forced into a marriage with a foreign princess to secure the kingdom's future. But his heart belongs to someone else. He is conflicted, torn between his duty and the feelings he can't quite understand, unsure of what it means for his heart and his sexuality. The knight sworn to protect him has always kept his distance. Bound by an oath of loyalty, he knows his place is at the prince's side, not in his arms. But as danger threatens the kingdom and their bond deepens, the forbidden becomes impossible to resist. Duty demands sacrifice. The crown demands obedience. But what about the demands of the heart? ⚠️Triggerwarnings⚠️ - smut -adult content -blood -death -violence -sa This story is a work of fiction.

Discover what lies within, but beware-the truth may come at a price too steep to pay. Serena's life is about to take a dark turn. When her mother died suddenly, she thought she'd be grappling only with loss-but the secrets hidden in her mother's shadowy past reveal an unfathomable legacy. A gifted actress adored by many, her mother shrouded her life in glamour, but left behind a chilling enigma. The key necklace Serena has worn since childhood isn't just a trinket; it unlocks a mysterious box tucked away in the depths of her mother's closet, and opening it will change everything. Within the box lies a truth that will shatter Serena's perception of love and loyalty: her mother made a deal with the devil, intertwining their destinies in ways she never imagined. Betrayal stings in the worst of ways, particularly when it comes from family. But as dark forces converge and the stakes rise, Serena learns her mother left behind one last trick-a doorway into the world of the Aces, a powerful and enigmatic paranormal entity. Caught in a whirlwind of supernatural politics and looming danger, Serena must navigate a terrain where betrayal, loyalty, and sacrifice intertwine. Will she harness the Aces' formidable power to save herself, or will her mother's legacy lead her down a dark path from which there is no return?
