Title: When The Heart Remembers.
Author: Zieny.
The story of a young woman from the city who is haunted night after night by recurring dreams. In them, she feels a strange, aching familiarity, yet upon waking every face and figure fades away, leaving behind only fragments of the tale.
Within those dreams are a man she once loved, and another who was willing to sacrifice everything for her. Piece by piece, the dreams begin to reveal a forgotten truth of pain, betrayal, and of who she truly is. All of it is bound by cause and consequence, tracing back to a past life, when she was a fox spirit caught in a tragic love between a mortal man and a young warrior from the wolf clan.

He came with the night - quiet, forbidden, and beautiful. He wasn't meant to seen and I wasn't meant to fall, but somehow, my heartbeat answered his silence. And now... he's more human than anyone I've ever known. Beneath the scent of blood and rain, we found something fragile - a love that shouldn't exist. They said love could kill you. They never said it would feel this gentle. Maybe he was never meant to exist in my world. Maybe I was never meant to survive in his. But love doesn't ask for permission. It simply happens - and destroys what it must. This is our secret. Our story.
TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete

A Plaything for the Dragons
❝Two dragons and their dirty little plaything.❞ I didn't have much to lose in the war of Dacva, but it left me scarred for the rest of my life. I'm just a red female dragon, scraping by from one day to the next in the Banished realm by doing petty crimes. It's enough for my meagre existence. But when I went from petty crimes to attempting an assassination on the sleeping princess out of sheer desperation, it didn't end well. When I'm caught and interrogated by the banished Kings, I must do everything to keep them from finding out the truth of my lineage. However, it gets harder with the two Banished Kings constantly breathing down my neck and taking too much interest in my scars and my scales. Before I know it, I'm their plaything, and they seem to find it hard to keep their hands off me and each other. As much as it tempts me to bare myself to them completely for them to claim every inch of me, I need to keep my secret. Once they find out about my lineage, it would turn into the bloodiest war the dragons have ever fought. I don't want another war, but with the Banished Kings wanting to possess more than my body, a war seems inevitable. How long can I stall the inevitable? I have fought a bloody war before; I could fight another if needed. But with my secrets unravelling and the fate playing a silly joke with me again, would the Kings accept me after learning my truth? Or would they reject me and toss me away after having their fill of playtime with me? ~ A stand-alone book.

Though they never met in person, she slowly fell, not just for the man, but for the feeling of being seen, valued, and enough pero bigla na lang itong nawala. Walang paliwanag, walang paalam, parang bula, a love that was left unwritten. She doesn't know where the story is headed or if it will ever be given a beautiful happy ending. What if not every story needs to mirror the past? What if hindi sa lahat ng bagay nakatuon ang atensyon ni Ali sa kwento nilang dalawa? Is there still a second chance for a love that was once left unfinished - unwritten?Complete
