"I am cursed to destroy everyone I love... and he's cursed to love me anyway."
When Serenya escapes a forced marriage to a cruel prince, she falls into the hands of Valerian-a vampire feared by all, yet drawn only to her. In the shadows of his ancient castle, their hearts wage a dangerous war between fate, desire, and the darkness that binds them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cursed since birth, Serenya has been forced to live behind gilded walls, her very touch said to bring ruin to those who draw too close. Trapped in a world of courtly lies and cruel expectations, she has learned to hide her heart behind a mask of composure... until the night she escapes her fate as the bride to a merciless prince.

Her flight leads her into the hands of Valerian, a man cloaked in darkness and whispered about in fearful tones across the kingdom. A vampire, feared and respected, whose reputation for cold ruthlessness precedes him. Yet behind his piercing gaze lies something unexpected-patience, a sharp wit, and a strange gentleness that Serenya cannot bring herself to fear.

As they navigate the labyrinthine halls of his ancient castle, exploring hidden corridors, moonlit gardens, and shadowed chambers, a delicate bond begins to take root. They share pieces of themselves, old wounds, shattered dreams, and the chains of destiny they both long to break. But Valerian carries a truth he does not yet share, a truth that could shatter everything: he cannot be harmed by her curse... and he has been searching for someone like her for centuries.

In a world where love is as dangerous as it is forbidden, Serenya must decide if she can risk her heart for a man who might just be the most dangerous thing of all... the one person she cannot bear to lose.Tous Droits Réservés

She was bound by celestial law. He was ready to break every law for her. Ruhika Sinha was never meant to love a human. As the Crown Fairy blessed by the Seven Realms, her duty was clear-she was sent to save humanity from an impending darkness. She was untouchable, unreachable, and utterly forbidden. But then came Ruanth Malhotra-a man who bowed to no one, a ruler in his own right. Feared, ruthless, and dangerously obsessive, he had built an empire with his bare hands, bending the world to his will. And then he saw her-mysterious, untamed, a woman who defied him in ways no one ever dared. She became his obsession. He became her undoing. She was bound by duty. He was bound by nothing. As desire wars with destiny and their worlds collide, one question remains-will they defy fate, or will their forbidden love tear them apart?

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |, écrit par delusionalworld01

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.

Among the Flames [COMPLETED], écrit par LuckyNumberZero

"You thought you could threaten her? That you could hurt her, violate her the way that you did and walk away alive?" His voice was filled with raw fury, each word like a blow. "Please," the Sower gasped, his eyes darting to the ghastly charred remains of his men. "I- We didn't mean-" Thane didn't let him finish. With a surge of heat, the flames flared from his body, engulfing the man in a swirling inferno. The Sower screamed, his cries echoing through the clearing as the fire consumed him, but it didn't end his life-not yet. Thane controlled the flames, letting them torture rather than kill, a terrifying display of his power and restraint. "Didn't mean to?" Thane echoed mockingly, leaning down so his face was inches from the Sower. His eyes burned with rage, dark and unrelenting. "You meant every word, every threat, every action. And now you'll burn for it." ******************** In a world torn by war, where men and women are divided into separate kingdoms, Fern, a healer and herbalist, sets out to end the decade-long conflict. Her quest leads her toward the men's kingdom, but an unexpected encounter with an injured man changes everything. Little does she know that the man is the undefeated Ghost of the Battlefield. He was notorious and feared for slaughtering female warriors. Despite the hatred in his eyes, Fern makes the decision to heal him, forging a bond that neither expected. As their worlds collide, they must face the scars of their past. Can a single act of kindness heal old wounds, or will the weight of their history destroy them both?

The Velyn Pact, écrit par sparklestorm97

"In the beginning there was Aesharil, undivided and sacred, cradle beneath the twin moons. Seren, the White One, poured forth the breath of life; Veyra, the Dark One, guarded the silence of death. And as long as they danced in harmony, the earth remained whole. At the heart of Aesharil burned two flames: Elyrion, city of the rising sun, and Velyn, city of shadow and stillness. Two sisters, different yet united, entrusted with the keeping of balance. But humankind could not await the time destined for them. They hungered for eternity and raised towers of silver to seize the breath of the moons. Then Seren wept, and Veyra veiled herself in wrath: their tears fell upon the earth as fire and light. From their sorrow was born the Fracture, a wound that devoured sky and soil alike. And from the depths of that anguish rose the Avelyn, children of sin-creatures of light and shadow, keepers of mankind's memory. They offered a pact: that man should share the burden of sorrow in exchange for forgiveness. But the mortal kings refused. Thus began the War of the Moons, which shrouded the world for a hundred winters. In the end, when blood mingled with the waters of the Silver Lake, the earth's cry became a blade of light. Aesharil fell, and from her were born two enemy lands: Elyrion and Velyn. It is said that only the Lady of Shadows heard the echo of that cry, and within the silence of her mask she gathered the moons' final will. Thus she sealed the Pact, and from that day the children of the North knew not death, but only the eternal weight of remembrance. This is the wound that still divides the world, and this is the memory that must never be forgotten: for what once was Aesharil shall never return-except in the dream of the moons."

Bed of Lies, écrit par chelsy_lea

They broke her trust. They broke his mind. But when the past claws its way back, survival isn't enough - vengeance demands blood. Victoria learned how to stay quiet. Grief became her shadow, guilt her constant companion. It whispered in her ear that she should have been the one to die instead. Not her mother. Never her mother. If she had, maybe her father wouldn't have walked away, leaving them to fend for themselves. But silence is a fragile shield-and when the past resurfaces, dragging her into a world she barely escaped, she realizes staying quiet won't save her this time. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, behind rage, behind the monster his past made him. Forged by cruelty, built by betrayal, and fueled by rage, he became the kind of man other monsters feared. Scars became his armor. Violence, his language. He doesn't believe in mercy-only vengeance. Especially for the man who made him this way. Victoria was everything he had been taught to avoid - soft yet unbreakable, damaged yet defiant. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own, a past carved into her bones, a war waged behind tired eyes. She saw through him in ways no one else had ever dared, and he hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. He was chaos wrapped in quiet fury, a storm threatening to consume everything in its path. And yet, when she looked at him, she didn't just see the monster - she saw the man who had once fought to hold on to his soul. But love between two broken people is never easy. It's volatile. Cruel. A constant push and pull, neither of them willing to surrender, both too damaged to truly hold on. The closer they get, the more dangerous the stakes become. Yet, for all the ways they fought against it, they kept coming back to each other.

Drenched in Betrayal , écrit par talesinthedark_

His voice was hoarse as he whispered against my ear, "Shh, love. Stop being so irresistible. I want to give you something." He pulled his fingers out of my pants, leaving me empty and frustrated. My eyes snapped to his instantly, a soft whimper escaping my lips. He took out a small, velvet box from his pocket, holding it out to me silently. Curiosity piqued, I opened it to reveal a pair of delicate gold anklets, tiny diamonds and rubies scattered along the chain. I looked up at him questioningly, but he just smiled softly, taking my left foot gently in his hand. He wrapped one anklet around my left ankle, securing it with a gentle click. Then he picked up my right foot, his touch reverent. "Fuck, love," he murmured, "You look even more beautiful with these." He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my left ankle, right above the anklet. I gasped, he smiled against my skin before kissing my right ankle as well. "Perfect." he whispered. ⚬──────────✧──────────⚬ Aarohi Arora, a soft-spoken, seemingly fragile girl with quiet strength buried deep within her. She carries the unhealed wounds of her mother's death and the weight of her own father's resentment, learning early that love often comes with conditions. Dhruv Malhotra, a man forged in power and darkness. Cold-hearted, arrogant, and ruthlessly feared, he rules both boardrooms and blood-soaked shadows without mercy. Haunted by the brutal loss of his sister, guilt has hardened him into someone who destroys before he can feel. A wedding with no answers. A bond neither of them chose. Thrown into a mansion ruled by control and shadows, she becomes the wife he refuses to accept and the truth he can't ignore. In his eyes, she's a lie. In hers, he's a storm she never learned how to survive. AAROHI x DHRUV Book one in the burnt crown series (CAN BE READ STANDALONE)

"You were mine in every lifetime," he whispered, brushing a cold finger down my spine. "Then why do I feel like dying every time you touch me?" I choked, tears blurring my vision.
