He was supposed to kill her family.
	 She was supposed to die.
Years ago, Cass-son of the Sea King-was sent to poison the royal family. He couldn't do it. The girl who snuck into his cell each night to sing him stories made sure of that. Now disgraced and cast aside, Cass roams the seas with a ship full of heathens, chasing redemption in all the wrong places.
Lark doesn't remember the palace, the blood, or the boy with ocean in his eyes. She only knows the orphanage, the streets, and the haunting power in her voice that no one can explain.
When fate throws them back together, Cass offers her a cruel bargain: pretend to be the lost princess, or walk the plank. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to tell who's deceiving whom-and what's more dangerous: the truth behind her past or the feelings they can't outrun.All Rights Reserved

Rafayel x All Love Interest (The Forgotten Heart) by DorisSial

Rafayel once held the world in his hands-and lost it all. He was the Lemuria Sea God, born of cosmic earth, his heart forged from pure celestial energy. A being of immense power, unmatched and untamed. So powerful, in fact, that even he couldn't control it. And one day, his power destroyed everything. The Earth fell into ruin. The people he loved perished. Their deaths were his burden to bear. To undo the catastrophe, Rafayel rewound time. Again and again, he chose a different path-desperately trying to save the ones dearest to him. In each timeline, he met them: Sylus, Zayne, Caleb, and Xavier-his soulbound loves. To each, he gave a piece of his divine heart, sealing away his strength to protect the world and keep them alive. But each time, it cost him his own life. And yet, Rafayel never hesitated. He would rather die a thousand times than watch his power destroy them. Now, the cycle has shifted. A new timeline has bloomed-one where the Earth still stands, untouched by divine havoc. Rafayel lives, still a god, but... changed. This time, he has no memories of the past timelines. No memories of the love he shared. No memory of the sacrifices he made. But Sylus, Zayne, Caleb, and Xavier remember. Reincarnated into this new world, they live among humans-watching from the shadows, protecting Rafayel in secret. In this life, it's their turn to shield him. Because this time, he didn't give them his heart. This time, he lives. But fate is never silent. And love never dies. So when Rafayel's path begins to cross with theirs once more, what will awaken within him? Will the memories return? Will love find its way again? Or will the god who once saved the world now be the one who needs saving?
