When the son of a rival house returns, Serenya is torn between the kingdom she must protect and the forbidden bond she cannot forget.

As war brews on Caerthwyn's borders and serpents slither within her court, Serenya must decide:

Moonlight's Dagger by NyxAshbourne

In the moonlit ballroom of a forgotten castle, Serenya first sees him-the Shadow Lord-watching her with eyes that belong to the night itself. Their fates entwine not in waking hours, but in dreams that grow deeper, darker, and more dangerous with each passing night. Drawn to the castle by whispers of forbidden knowledge, Serenya discovers the truth of the Moonlight's Dagger, a weapon hidden for centuries in its shadowed halls. Forged from silver light and ancient sorcery, it holds the power to break Kael's curse... but at an unthinkable cost. As the boundary between dream and reality unravels, the two are pulled into a labyrinth of haunting secrets, veiled masquerades, and a love that defies the very shape of humanity. To claim their freedom, they must surrender what they were and embrace what they will become-creatures no longer bound by mortal life, but forever touched by moonlight. In the end, the curse will lift, the castle's shadows will fall away, and Serenya and Kael will step into a new life in the village. Not as humans. But as something more.

When Fate Walked Past Us by InkyZhyien

It's my first time writing a story here on Wattpad so please support me this story is taglish. In the glittering chaos of Manila, two worlds collide - one painted in light, the other steeped in shadows. Celestine Montero Virel, a 23-year-old business magnate, is known for her cold precision and ruthless efficiency. Born into power, molded by a father who leads an empire built in both blood and brilliance, she hides her softness beneath pearl necklaces and white heels. The world knows her as untouchable - elegant, dangerous, and unreachable. Until she meets Caiden Maurex Santiago Sandoval, a 26-year-old painter and photographer from a rival family of power and infamy. He captures beauty for a living - but the moment he sees her in the museum, framed by the glow of Manila light and the echo of her solitude, he finds a new muse. But in their world, love is never just love. It's a dangerous game of control, secrets, and silent wars - where one wrong move could ruin empires and hearts alike. And beneath the soft green of her favourite flowers lies the colour of envy, desire, and something far darker. 10-12-25

Bound by Every Lifetime by AkiraAokum

High above the clouds, in a castle carved from storm and stone, Princess Serenya has only ever wanted freedom. Rebellious, fiery, and caged by duty, she dreams of more than a crown and a gilded prison. But when raiders attack the Skykeep during a midnight battle, she is saved by a mysterious masked warrior whose loyalty-and secrets-are as dangerous as his blade. He is everything her father warns her against: silent, ruthless, forbidden. And yet, against every rule of her kingdom, he swears a vow that unsettles her heart: "In every lifetime, I will find you." Drawn together by fate and torn apart by prophecy, Serenya and the warrior must battle enemies both outside and within the castle walls. Yet the greatest threat is not the traitor hiding in her father's court... but the truth stitched into the stars. For theirs is a love written across centuries, bound to burn as brightly as fire- and destined to end in blood.

Dark Moon english version by KinanyCohen

Synopsis: Amaris has spent her entire life hiding a secret-a secret that, if revealed, would end her life as she knows it. Her father taught her well: to be strong, to defend herself, to trust no one. But now, with him gone, life has grown harsher, lonelier. One night, in an attempt to forget her pain and the burden she bears every day, she meets Yadiel, an attractive and mysterious man, in a bar. She soon realizes that exposing herself was a grave mistake-one that will cost her peace of mind. She must do everything in her power to make amends for the damage she caused. Meanwhile, oppression and injustice rule the continent, and Amaris seems to be the only one capable-or at least willing-to stand against the cruel King Khan, ruler of Northern Port. The journey Amaris must undertake will take her far beyond anything she could have imagined, a quest not only for justice but also for self-discovery-a journey filled with magic, unveiled secrets, passion, desire, and dark, twisted creatures.
