Isabel Peregrin built her empire on precision and fire.

Novera was supposed to be untouchable. Not until someone turned a corpse into a warning and painted a target on her name.

Now her survival depends on the one man she swore she'd never trust.

Alaric Halden. 

CEO of Obscion. 

Her greatest rival. Her almost-ruin at a summit two years ago. The man who gutted her keynote and smiled like he'd enjoyed the blood.

He was supposed to be the enemy.

Instead, every instinct screams to fight him, but Alaric doesn't ask.

Now Isabel is caught in a war written in bloodlines, power plays, and secrets older than her company.

This isn't business.

This isn't partnership.

This is obsession disguised as war.

And some battles are meant to consume.

The Guardian and the Soulbearer by KaiiNovels
29 parts Ongoing
He was sent to bring her to her death. But somewhere along the way... He forgot how to let her go. In the kingdom of Velmora, rebellion hides beneath silks and shadows. A dying Queen. A prophecy long buried. And a girl who doesn't yet know that fate has already claimed her. Lyana has always kept her head down, her hands in the soil, and her past buried deep. But when masked men come for her in the night, everything she's ever known is ripped away. She doesn't know why they're hunting her. Only that the man who saves her-gruff, unreadable, dangerous-is no savior at all. Kael was supposed to be a knight. Loyal. Silent. Obedient. But he's also a son with a secret. A prince declared dead. And the girl he's been sent to capture may be the key to bringing his mother-the Queen-back from the dead. Now they're on the run, bound by a prophecy neither of them believes in and a growing bond neither of them wants. But the deeper they go, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because Lyana isn't just a girl with strange gifts. She's the last Soulbearer. And to awaken the Queen... She may have to die.

Roxana kept her head bowed as Alexander stepped towards the captives of war, sweeping his cloak behind him. He passed by all of the women with the indifference and sobriety that rivalled their fairness and beauty. "The Bactrian women are eyesores," His deep, passionate voice ran out, earning the chuckles of his generals. That was when she realized that a pair of feet in leather soles had stopped before her. Slowly, she looked up. She saw a pair of metal greaves on strong, sturdy legs. She saw a kilt and scaled armour securely tied off at the shoulders. On the centre of his chest was engraved a sun with a face drawn on it. Then she focussed her eyes on his chiselled jawline, then at his arrogant mouth, and then his mismatched but clear brown and blue eyes. Roxana's eyes widened. This was the greatest commander ever known on earth, the one who massacred thousands of citizens who revolted against him in Thebes, the one who had burned down the palace complex of Persepolis in one night, and the one who never lost a battle in his life. She wanted to look away from his intense gaze. But she lifted her chin a little higher and boldly locked her gaze with his. "What is your name?" He asked, his expression stone cold. She felt his hand touch a lock of her long, dark brown mane. His gaze bore into her eyes so piercingly that she decided to cast her head to the side. "Roxana, my lord." She replied. "Who is your father?" "Oxyartes, mighty warlord and nobleman of Sogdia." "Ah, Oxyartes. I know him. I know him very well," He smiled. Then he bent down so that the tips of their noses were almost touching. She could feel his warm breath which turned into mist in the freezing winter air. Roxana shivered. "Tell your father that I have come," He whispered, "And that his people are now my people."
The Faded Vows by lynk992925
52 parts Ongoing
He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
