In a world where heroes wear gold and villains wear shadows, Aurelian-the golden poster boy of the Hero Syndicate-has spent years fighting Vex, the terrifying chaos-wielding villain who threatens society's fragile order. Or so he's been told.
But after a mission goes sideways, Aurelian is captured by Vex. Not tortured. Not killed. Just... kept. And the longer Aurelian stays in Vex's domain, the more cracks he starts to see in the narrative he's lived by. Why does Vex care about the civilians more than the Syndicate ever did? Why does he flinch at blood? Why does he know Aurelian's real name?
And why does Aurelian's heart beat faster when Vex gets too close?
"You think you know what justice is?" Vex growled, pacing like a caged storm. "You've been spoon-fed a story since you were twelve."
Lucien tugged at the cuffs binding him to the steel chair, lip bloody, eye swelling. "And you're just some misunderstood anti-hero? Save it."
Vex leaned down, so close Lucien could see the gold flecks in his storm-gray eyes. "If I'm the monster, why are you the one chained up by your own people?"
Silence. Except for thunder rolling in the distance.
"You don't want the truth," Vex whispered, voice like broken glass and midnight. "You want someone to hate. Even if that someone is the only one who ever gave a damn about you."

"A mafia boss submitting to the enemy mafia boss"(BL-SexScenes⚠️) He used to make men kneel. Now he shivers when I whisper in his ear. Damian doesn't rule anymore. Not when he's under me. Not when he begs. They call him the Blood King. Cold. Brutal. Untouchable. The head of blood Marker. But in my hands, he's nothing but a dog in heat. A trembling body caged in silk and steel. Fighting to hold onto pride while I take him and fuck him-slowly, deeply, completely. I don't need knives to break him. Just a hand at his throat. A kiss that doesn't stop. A voice in the dark telling him what he is now: Mine. He hates me. He wants me. He moans when I touch him like he belongs to me. And soon, he will. No thrones. No power. Just his mouth moaning my name and his body bent for more. This war won't end with bullets. It'll end with him on his knees. (DISCONTINUED)

Moonbound (book 1)
"He was supposed to be my enemy... not my fated mate. Damn it." Centuries of war have left only scars. Now a fragile peace forces them face-to-face: One vampire. One wolf. Two enemies bound by blood and fate. Lucien Duskborne is everything a vampire prince should not be...dangerously charming, scandalously reckless, and far too clever for anyone's safety. Sent as a political envoy to the werewolf highlands, he carries silver fangs, sharper lies, and orders that could ignite war all over again. But then there's Rhydian Ashborne. The wolf-heir with golden eyes and a smile that hides claws. A true alpha with a scar that burns whenever Lucien is near. Courteous, disciplined, the perfect prince... until his temper cracks and the beast inside him snarls for blood. What begins as a battle of wit and willpower soon spirals into something darker. A bond that should not exist. A prophecy buried in ash. A hunger neither of them can control. Because when a vampire seduces his enemy... And a wolf finds his fated mate... Love isn't the only thing at stake. Kingdoms will fall. Blood will spill. And fate will make monsters of them both. ---- Core Genre: Fantasy Romance + Boys' Love (BL) / LGBTQ+ Romance Subgenres: Dark Fantasy + Enemies to Lovers + Fated Mates + Supernatural + Action / Adventure Flavor Tags: Political Intrigue + Slow Burn + Forbidden Romance + Dark BL
THE VILLAIN'S LOVE GROWS FOR HIM.
"Aren't you tired of the way you live?" A voice inside of him would ask. "What can i do? I was born to live the life of a killing machine that dances to the command of my master. You think i never tried to run away from my life?" He would reply. That was him. The prodigy, the pride and praise of assassins. His hands were dyed with blood. Blood of men, women, children and the aged. He tried to rinse the blood out of his life but failed miserably. It was like a string attached to him, following him even in his dreams. "I see you are trying to run from your shell." The old woman said to him. "You are a pitiable person. When death welcomes you i pray you be free of your chains." She smiled as her cracked lips left her final breathe and her eyes lost its gleam. "Aaahhhhh!" The sound of painful scream echoed the room as he pressed his sword into his skin. He was ordered to kill the president of the country and bombard his residence. That was his last mission. But instead of leaving the house alive he stayed behind watching his piece of work decorate the walls of the building. He smiled. "It seems this is the only way to attain my own freedom." The sound of exploding bombs thundered into the ears of his comrades. They had realised what the man had done. However death brought him a new life. He was gifted the chance to live in freedom, to redeem himself and live the life he had wished for. But inside the world of a book. Life was all happy and beautiful. Until one unfortunate day he was entangled with the worst situation as he had to present himself before the antagonist of the book. Standing before him he caught his eye and was recruited as one of his personal guard. Moreover the protagonist of the story was very much to his distaste. But nothing could be worst than being objected as a sexual toy by the villain of the book, who had his ways with him right?Complete

101 Ways To Tame A Rockstar
Kai sat at the edge of the bed, jaw tight, big hands wrapping gauze around my split knuckles. He was too careful, too quiet- the type that comes right before a storm rips through you. I woke up halfway through, yanked my hand free. "Don't touch me." He didn't flinch. Just looked at me with those wolf-grey eyes like I was the only war he ever wanted to fight. "Dont do that." I blinked."What?" His mouth barely moved."You dont get to do that after what you did." My lips curled into a dangerous smile. "And if I do?" He grabbed me by the jaw-gentle and cruel all at once. My breath hitched. "Then I'll just have to remind you who you belong to." His lips crashes against mine. The kiss was raw, possessive, demanding-his tongue forcing its way past my lips, dominating me until my knees nearly buckled. When he finally pulled back, a thin string of saliva connected us. I let out a needy, humiliating whine at the loss of contact. The world stopped "You want to break things?" His voice a low growl, "Break me.You want pain? I'll give you pain that loves you back. But if you ever throw yourself in front of filth like that again-" His grip on my jaw tightened, not enough to hurt, just enough to own. "I might just kill someone." *** They call me the prince of chaos. The media's favorite sin. Award-winning artist, tabloid disaster, human trainwreck with pretty eyes and prettier scars. But I didn't ask for the crown. I do drugs to sleep. Smoke to breathe. Fuck to feel. Punch cameras.Curse in interviews. And I don't apologize for any of it. That's how I got kai-my new bodyguard. 6ft something of quiet death, jaw sharp enough to cut glass, and eyes like he's already decided how I'll die if I piss him off. He doesn't play nice and he sees too much. And when he touches me, the world gets quiet for once. This isn't your typical love story. It's war. ME vs Myself. ME vs My Past. ME vs the man who swore he'd protect me - even from myself. You want to know how it ends? So do I.

OBSIDIAN | bxbxb
!!Book one From the werewolf series!! Cassian Vex is a High-school boy who seems ordinary at first glance. People rarely notice him, but when they do, they compliment his looks or assume he lives a perfect, luxurious life. The truth is very different: behind his powder-green eyes lies more pain, pressure, and loneliness than anyone could imagine. One night, Cassian goes to a party with his older brother, Sergio. There, he meets Asher and Nikolai Voss, two arrogant, self-confident boys wrapped in money, influence, and shadows. Cassian dislikes them instantly. A week later, the two suddenly show up at Cassian's public school, as if placed there out of nowhere. Rumor has it they are "stepbrothers," but no one knows exactly where they come from. What everyone does know is their explosive reputation: the two share the same partner in bed, show affection toward each other in public, and leave behind a trail of fascination and unease. Asher and Nikolai are part of the Obsidian Cartel, not an official organization, but a network built on influence, hidden favors, dark dealings, and a type of controlled chaos wrapped in elegance. Everything dangerous about them is disguised under charm, sharp smiles, and public displays that feel like coded messages. But could all this be a lie or the truth? But the real story isn't about their chaos. It's about the secrets. The small ones you can sense but can't prove. The big ones that can shatter your life instantly. And the impossible ones, the ones that make you wonder if the world around you is real, or if you've fallen into a game where someone else is moving the pieces. And in the middle of all those mysteries, Cassian begins to feel that his life didn't cross paths with the Voss brothers by accident... but because the truth he hides from everyone is directly connected to the truth they hide from everyone. #1-boyxboyxboy 29/01/2026 #25-Werewolf 11/03/2026 #5-Gayfiction 28/03/2026Complete
