He grabbed her hips, lifting her up and positioning himself between her thighs. She tensed, her body bracing.......read more.. The city of Ember Hollow was alive, bustling with secrets that danced through the streets like whispers in the night. Everyone knew who controlled it all-the mafia boss, Kade Alistair. Ruthless, sharp-eyed, and powerful, he ruled the underground with a fist of iron. His name alone made men tremble and women disappear behind closed doors. But to the outside world? Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible. On the other side of the city, Elara Blake lived a different kind of life-one filled with light. She moved through the world with soft steps, kind words, and a gentle heart. Elara worked at the local flower shop, her days filled with the sweet scent of roses and the warmth of sunlight filtering through glass windows. She was the kind of girl who smiled at strangers and found joy in the smallest moments, unaware that her peaceful world was built on the foundations of darkness she couldn't see. Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...Concluida

She awakens in a medieval forest, bleeding from an arrow shot by a hunting king. King Lucien takes her into his palace to heal, but what begins as fascination with her haunting voice quickly turns into a dangerous obsession.

A rebel prince with blood on his back and defiance in his bones, he's spent his life fighting a throne that only ever tried to break him. Chaos is the only language he trusts. He was never meant to stand beside her. She was never meant to trust him. But somewhere between rivalry and survival, something shifts- dangerous, unwanted... inevitable. Because Elara isn't just carrying the past. Something ancient stirs within her. A voice that shouldn't exist. A power that was never meant to return. Minecasia. A name whispered like a warning. A force that does not give second chances-only takes control.

It will rewrite everything they thought they knew about fate, power... and each other. --- TROPES 'A KINGDOM BETWEEN US' SERVES: RHAEGAR x ELARA - ~FORBIDDEN LOVE ~RIVAL FAMILIES JORA x KAEL ~SECOND CHANCE ~LOVE-AT-FIRST-SIGHT (KAEL) TYVEN x CIERA ~FAKE RELATIONSHIP ~BODYGUARD ROMANCE [PUBLISHED - SEPTEMBER 2025] [FINISHED - ]
Aftermath | Part III
"What Remains When the World Burns. Is What We Fight To Protect." PART III | The war is over. The world has thrived in the quiet solitude of peace. What survived was scattered, scarred, and aching, yet from the wreckage rose something unexpected: a fragile kind of beauty. Cities rebuilt from ash. Lives stitched back together with silence and hope. It isn't the world they lost, but it's something-something someone had to sacrifice everything for, just to make it hold. And in that stillness, in the soft breath of what was given up, people have learned to live again. To love. To hope. But beneath that silence, something always stirs- a shadow of what was, a reckoning long delayed, a spark that never truly went out. As old ghosts rise and the cost of survival begins to surface, the final threads of destiny pull tight. This is no new beginning. It's the last stand of what remains. This is survival. This is defiance. This is aftermath.Concluida
