"Tethered"
He thought the worst day of his life was when he destroyed everything.
He was wrong.
Dragged into a marriage he never wanted, Auren is bound to the man who ruined his life - a husband whose obsession runs deeper than love and sharper than hate.
Every day feels like a gilded prison: kisses that burn, promises that choke, and a wedding ring that feels more like chains.
He can't escape.
He can't forgive.
But most terrifying of all...
He's not sure he can resist.
In this twisted game of power, love, and betrayal, the question isn't who will break first - but who will still be standing when the strings finally snap.

Empire of Obsession (PondPhuwin)
In a world where wealth is power and love is the most dangerous weapon, Pond Naravit and Phuwin Tangsakyuen rule together-two heirs forged in blood, bound by obsession, and unwilling to ever let go. Both ruthless, both possessive, both willing to burn entire empires to keep the other close. Their alliance is a perfect storm of passion and power, surrounded by a loyal circle of equally dangerous couples-Zee×Nunew, Auo×Boom, Net×JJ, and Billkin×PP-each with their own tangled histories and unshakable devotion. Together, they navigate a glittering world of black flags, backroom deals, and bedroom politics, where loyalty is rewarded, betrayal is punished, and desire is never denied. From back-alley bargains to silk-sheet seductions, from violent power plays to tender domestic moments, Pond and Phuwin's love burns hotter than their enemies' hatred-and their enemies know better than to come between them. Because in this empire, love isn't soft. It's a chain-and they hold each other's leash.Complete
The silent crown
In a kingdom where Omegas are bartered like coin, peace is sealed not with ink-but with vows. When Prince Caelan, the last jewel of a fallen realm, is forced into an arranged marriage, he knows survival means silence. Gentle, obedient, and bowed beneath the weight of his crown, he endures every cold glance and cruel word with lowered eyes. His new husband, King Alaric, does not hide his hatred. To him, Caelan is nothing but a chain around his neck, a reminder of conquest and compromise. Their union is a political noose-never love. But within palace walls, silence speaks louder than rage. As plots coil in shadows and loyalties fracture, Alaric begins to see that his quiet, suffering Omega is far more dangerous-and far more precious-than he ever imagined. A crown won in blood. A marriage forged in hate. And an Omega who refuses to break.

Any fantasy? Dark-" The words caught in my throat the moment I realized what I had almost asked. A man I had nearly killed minutes ago. The knife resting between us spun lazily over the hard surface of the car hood, metallic sound slicing through the silence after every turn. Seven rounds of truth. Seven times it had stopped at him. Not me.Him. Rain-heavy clouds crowded the sky above us while distant thunder rolled across the empty highway. He leaned back against the car as if none of this bothered him. As if the blade wound on his thigh wasn't still bleeding beneath his dark clothes. "Darkest?" he repeated slowly, a smirk tugging at one corner of his lips. My fingers tightened unconsciously around the handle of my knife.He noticed. Of course he did. "Going rough under a storm like this," he said without hesitation, his gaze lifting toward the dark sky around us. "Where she sounds wilder than the rain falling on us and-" . . "And-?" I asked before I could stop myself. His eyes returned to mine this time. Completely. "And... seven rounds." The way he said it-calm, shameless, certain-made heat crawl beneath my skin despite the cold wind brushing against us. "Why specific to seven?" The question slipped out instantly. . . His gaze darkened with amusement. "Mm..." A sharp hiss left his lips as he pressed his palm harder against the blade wound on his left thigh-the same wound I had carved there moments ago. . . His brows lifted teasingly before he winked. "Why?" His voice dropped lower. "You want more? Ten?" . . "Go to hell." . . The next second, my back pressed against the hard surface of the car hood while he stood over me, trapping me beneath him. . . "Why seven?" he whispered against my ear, his voice almost drowned beneath the storm. "From 06:55 PM till 11:56 PM..." His grip tightened slightly against my nape. "You said 'I hate you' seven times, Petal." . . "That's why." . . "And this time-the rain approved me" [ STUDENT PROFESSOR DARK ROMANCE]
