Entangled With Them
"From today onwards, you'll be our captive. Our acquisition. Your life will be resigned to this chamber, to serving us. You'll answer to our every beck and call, and should you try to be defiant, we wouldn't hesitate to strip you bare and whip the devil out of you before locking you up in the dungeons without food and water. Are. We. Clear?" He ground out, punctuating the words with feral anger. Tears burned Elaine's eyes, her body shaking like a leaf in the wind, filled with trepidation. She choked on her own sob, but she had to answer. "Yes... Masters." She forced out, pitifully breaking into a sob. Their lips twitched then. "Welcome to your new life, Elaine. We hope you enjoy it." ******* Princess Elaine Renee Valys has always lived a sheltered life, hidden away in a tower on the outskirts of her father's kingdom.

The sea god's maiden
She was born beneath a cursed prophecy-raised not for herself, but as a sacrifice promised to the gods. The Maiden of Tides, they called her, a weapon wrapped in white silk, destined to end the reign of the Sea God. He is no merciful deity. The ocean bends to his will, storms are his rage, and mortals are nothing but fleeting sparks against his eternity. Yet when prophecy delivers the Maiden to his shore, he does not see his end. He sees his beginning. Bound by fate, divided by blood and curses, their story was never meant to be love-it was ruin, desire, and destruction written in the stars. But the Sea God whispers a truth no prophecy foresaw: "Every kingdom, every soul, every star-I would burn them all just to keep you." And when the final tide rises, his last words will not be vows, but truth: "I was yours from the beginning... and I'll be yours until the end." A dark romance of sacrifice, prophecy, and forbidden desire-where love may save the world... or drown it.Complete

Under the silver light of the moon, two fates intertwine - one born of light, the other bound by a curse older than time itself. Seventeen-year-old Amira Vargas thought she had escaped tragedy when she left Florida for a quiet life in Japan. But the moment her hand touches a cursed blade - Onikimaru - her destiny shatters. The sword hums with ancient sorrow, whispering her name as if it remembers her from another life. And then he appears - Kyo, the enigmatic demon lord imprisoned within the blade, with eyes like molten fire and a soul bound by vengeance. His beauty is both divine and dangerous, his presence a promise and a warning. Though centuries of torment have hardened him, one look at Amira stirs something long buried - love. But Amira is no ordinary girl. The golden bangles on her wrists awaken with celestial light, revealing a divine heritage that once sealed Kyo's fate. As ancient forces rise, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the curse, the goddess's betrayal, and the bond that defies even death itself. In a world where gods meddle and demons remember, love becomes both weapon and redemption. A tale of reincarnation, forbidden love, and divine destiny, The Cursed Onikimaru and The Goddess That Saved Him weaves a hauntingly romantic story about a girl who must choose between the light that created her - and the darkness that calls her home.

The devil's mission
#1 spiritual powers 30/08/22 "......your soul? It's beautiful, unlike the ones I have seen here, it's quite unique" "But surrounded by dark mists, you see if you ask me I think it's really dark inside and it's gradually dying" he replied still looking straight lost in his thoughts as the moon rays continued to embrace his face. For a moment they both said nothing. It looked late, everywhere was cloudy and a gigantic moon covered half of the sky. Everywhere looked empty, dry, imaginary. They were both seated on a bench, One was dashingly handsome with nice features but still looked ordinary. Humanly. But the other one was different, with gigantic white wings covering her back, Beautiful? yes, amazingly beautiful, with her long red hair and beautiful long red gown. But possessed a very powerful dark Aura. "Let me save you" She faced him this time, no longer in her thoughts holding his rough hands gently. "Running to a pretty demon for help.... ehhh I'm not sure about that" he replied jokingly as he couldn't help but caress her soft cheeks. "I don't know if you are here to save me or destroy me, but I will trust you" "I'm not sure about that too Alex, but let's give it a try" He nodded then disappeared into thin air. "Trust?" She couldn't help but mumble to herself, as tears could be seen slowly sliding down her cheeks, And her wings gradually changing to its original color, Black. Then he woke up. It was just a dream. #1 spiritual powers 30/08/22.Complete
A Plaything for the Dragon Kings | Split Realms Book 1
❝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?

THE ALCHEMY OF HER LOVE
Some souls are cursed to meet again... even if it breaks them every time. Aaranya never believed in past lives. Not until she stepped into a place no human should reach - a glowing chamber of memory and fire called the Soulforge, hidden between time and afterlife. There, she meets Aarav - calm, distant, devastatingly familiar - the Soulkeeper. He's not a god, not a ghost. He's something worse: a man who remembers every soul he's ever failed to save. And when he looks at her... he sees the girl he lost lifetimes ago - the girl who begged the heavens to take her instead. The one whose love he never earned - and whose death still haunts him like flame. But Aaranya doesn't remember. Not the promises. Not the pain. Not him. Yet something inside her stirs - a thread, trembling beneath her skin. And soon, echoes from her past lives begin slipping into her world - in dreams, in symbols, in her very reflection. Now, as fate pulls them together again, Aarav must decide: Will he let her soul awaken on its own... Or break every divine law to remind her of a love that once defied even death? Because this time, the gods are watching. And not all of them want her to remember. A story of soul-deep love, forgotten lifetimes, and the divine ache of meeting someone you've loved in every world but this one.

When the Forbidden Forest grows restless, and an ancient power begins to bleed into the world, their paths entwine.
