I survived demons.
I survived soul bonds.
I survived them.
But now I've been taken-and survival may no longer be enough.

Elliora thought she was safe within the House. Under the watchful eyes of her four fallen guardians, she was finally beginning to understand her power, her place, and her heart.

Until Varethiel came for her.

Now trapped in the Temple of the First Light-a gilded prison wrapped in lies-Elliora is forced to endure the very worst of Varethiel's manipulations.
Visions of betrayal.
Twisted truths.
Pain whenever she dares to believe in the men she loves.

The more she resists him, the more he breaks her.

And while her four fallen angels tear through the Veil to bring her home, Elliora's soul bond deepens in ways no one expected- forcing Sorren, Killian, Ronan, and Cian to face just how much they've already failed her.

But rescuing her won't be the end.
Because the war for the shards has only just begun.
And some marks are meant to burn.

Whispers of the Damned: The Eternal Crossroads by Haru2409

Currently trending in HAUNTED PAST (#66) and MORALLY GREY (#583), this isn't a love story. It's a game darker than love. They say fate can't be escaped. But what if loving him is the thing that destroys her? Althea's life was never meant to be normal. Haunted by nightmares she can't explain and a past wrapped in silence, she's only ever known how to survive. Love? Trust? They're luxuries she can't afford. Until Calix-dangerous, unreadable, and hiding secrets behind every smile-enters her world. He was never meant to stay. She was never meant to matter. But now, their fates are entangled-and something far darker is watching. As buried memories surface and the truth about her parents' death unravels, Althea finds herself caught between love and destiny, betrayal and survival. Calix may be her only hope... or the reason she falls. In a world where souls are cursed and fate is written in blood, love isn't salvation-it's the beginning of the end.

Burn the World for You by darkarchives

Rhaella is human. Azriel is Fae. The bond doesn't care. For three years, a mortal girl survived slavery by staying invisible and hiding the one secret that could kill her. She has magic. Azriel spent lifetimes waiting for his mate. And when he finds Rhaella, human, starved, tortured, barely breathing, the bond snaps anyway, devastating and absolute. And he makes a choice that changes everything. He burns her world down, slaughters everyone who hurt her, and refuses to let her go. Now a mortal girl must navigate freedom that feels like a new cage, a bond she never asked for, and an immortal male whose devotion terrifies her as much as it heals her. While Azriel learns that saving someone and healing them are two different things, and that sometimes love means giving back the choice he took away. In the dungeons of men, she learned what mercy costs. In the ruins of his faith, he learned what devotion demands. Some wounds don't heal with magic. Some require time, patience, and a mortal heart teaching an immortal warrior how to live, not just survive. He would burn the world for her. She will teach him how to live in what remains. ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNINGS 🕊️ This story contains graphic and emotionally intense themes, including: Slavery and systemic dehumanization Detailed depictions of torture and physical suffering The death of a child (traumatic and central to the plot) Severe medical trauma and body horror PTSD and realistic trauma responses Violence, including extreme and on-page violence References to sexual violence (none between main characters) Suicidal ideation and survivor's guilt This is a dark, mature story that explores trauma, survival, and recovery.

Sora of the Moon by Last__Angel

"That's what i meant... Sora, don't fall in love with me again, stop loving me, hate me if possible. It's for your own good". I said with my hand reaching for the blade in my belt. "Nathan no, don't push me away again! Nathan, please!" Now, she was sobbing holding onto my shirt tightly as if she wanted to prevent me from leaving her. She gazed at me pleading and attacked me with a kiss. But before that, she wispered the words that i was most afraid to hear. "I love you..." Her words felt like a burden to my heart. And the moment I pierced the blade into her heart, mine broke completely. [...] -------------------------------------------------------- It was forbidden. He knew, she didn't. In fact she didn't know anything, she didn't know him. Or so she thought. About herself and who she really is? Clueless. She is Claire, a simple nerdy girl, in love with her best friend, just surviving life. But is it really that simple? No it's not. Claire's. -no- Sora's life is much more complicated, supernaturally complicated... ~ Romance ~ Fantasy ~ Supernatural Don't copy please^^

The Fall of The Veil by _rainydaywriting_

"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED by SkylerChase29

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer by CGBlaire

I was the perfect noble wife... until my husband burned me at the stake. My smile was sculpted to please. Obedience stitched into every breath. I thought it would protect me. It didn't. They called me traitor. My husband watched me burn. My cousin cried for the crowd, then smiled as flames devoured my gown. No one knew about the baby. His heir. Our secret died with me. But death didn't stick. I woke months before the pyre... hurting, alone, and clutching the truth like a dagger: They stole my child. My title. My life. Now I wear silk like armor. My smile cuts deeper than any blade. I will unmake their empire, one lie at a time. And then there's him. Duke Caelan Vorenthal. The Wolf of the North. My husband's rival. A storm wrapped in silk and steel. He watches me... not like I'm broken, but like I'm dangerous. Like he wants to burn alongside me. He should be my enemy. So why does he see the fire in me... and smile? They think I'm still the girl they sacrificed. They're wrong. I am Seraphina D'Lorien. Heiress of ashes. Bringer of storms. And I choose who burns next. A betrayed noblewoman reborn A slow-burn romance with claws And revenge that's hotter than forgiveness Tags: #Revenge #Romance #Fantasy #Reborn #NobleWoman #SlowBurn #Betrayal #Phoenix #StrongFemaleCharacter #PoliticalIntrigue #Fire #Duke #SecondChance #DarkRomance #regression, #romancefantasy, #romantasy, #noblelady, #reincarnation, #villainess, enemies-to-lovers "A phoenix doesn't rise from ashes to forgive. She rises to choose who burns."
