In the kingdom of Aldenwyth, where wolves are soul-bound to royals and secrets twist like ivy through marble halls, Lady Eliese Stronle is torn between duty and desire. Born into a powerful western house, curvy, keen-witted, and chosen by the throne, Eliese is bound by politics to marry Crown Prince Keail Lenstrom, a man of charm, cruelty, and chilling ambition.

But her heart drifts to another: Wesyrus, her brooding knight sworn to protect her virtue, yet increasingly tangled in her soul. Tender, bold, and burdened by his bastard birth, Wesyrus awakens in Eliese a yearning for freedom and choice. As her direwolf cub grows into a blazing symbol of untamed loyalty, Eliese must face the truth that love is not always safe and loyalty is not always deserved.

Amid pageantry, whispered plots, and the looming threat of betrayal, Eliese must decide if she will be a queen forged by duty or a woman who seizes her fate by fire.

The myth of Équili. I will find you in every life - series. by EveElena

She was never meant to awaken... and he was never meant to care. Sarina has spent her life hiding a power that shouldn't exist-one that even the ancient fairies fear. When a violent surge exposes her abilities, she is sent to train under Ariel, a cold, exiled warrior whose own past is buried in betrayal and silence. He is everything she despises: strict, unreadable, merciless in his methods. She is everything he didn't expect: stubborn, fragile... and terrifyingly powerful. Their world is fractured between elemental bloodlines, sacred myths, and a forbidden book lost to history. Kingdoms are watching. Priests are hunting. Something old is waking beneath the surface-and Sarina might be the key to saving or shattering everything. But power comes with pain. Training feels like war. And the most dangerous thing in the temple isn't the magic. It's the way he looks at her when her power flickers. It's the way her heartbeat changes when he steps closer. In a world where loyalty is deadly and emotions are a weakness, two broken souls are forced together by fate... or something far more dangerous. Magic. Tension. Slow-burn obsession. This is not a love story. This is how it begins.

King of Ruin by velvetinkandquill

In a world divided by blood and ancient power, peace is a fragile thing-and love is an even greater threat. To prevent war between the four fractured realms-Fae, Vampires, Shifters, and Humans-a political marriage is arranged between the cold, vicious Vampire King of Nyxeris and a quiet, calculating half-fae girl no one sees coming. Seris Elira has always kept her head down, her secrets close, and her magic buried deep. But when she's forced into a royal union with the most feared man in the world, her silence becomes her greatest weapon. King Thorne Dravyn is a ruler of shadows, known for his cruelty and iron rule. He swears he'll never touch his new bride-until a hidden mate bond begins to unravel his resolve, and desire turns to obsession. As their slow-burning enmity turns into something dangerous and deeply intimate, ancient forces awaken, and secrets long buried threaten to burn everything to ash. She was never meant to be more than a pawn. He was never meant to feel anything at all. But fate has chosen them-for ruin, for power... and for love.

His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.

The Lycan's Bargain by anjay_writess

"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025

Our Forever Flame by SerenityMoretti

Seventeen-year-old Princess Ember of the Phoenix Kingdom was born into an era of uneasy peace. For years, her people and the Dragon Kingdom have coexisted under a fragile truce, the remnants of ancient wars buried beneath a thin veil of diplomacy. But peace, like fire, is unpredictable-and all it takes is one spark to set everything ablaze. That spark ignites just days after Ember meets Nineteen-year-old Prince Xiodis. Their encounter is unplanned, their connection instant-two heirs from rival lands, drawn together by something deeper than duty or alliance. Ember is flame: fierce, impulsive, and full of heart. Xiodis is the calm before the storm: sharp, composed, and unshakably strong. In each other, they find something rare-understanding in a world that only expects obedience. But just as they begin to uncover what they truly mean to each other, Xiodis is betrothed to Princess Ella of the Wolf Kingdom, sealing an alliance that threatens everything he and Ember have begun to build in secret. Now, with the bonds of loyalty pulling them in opposite directions, Ember and Xiodis must choose: betray their hearts or betray their kingdoms. Because in a world where love is a liability, every choice comes with a cost. Our Forever Flame is a tale of love caught in the crossfire, of destiny rewritten, and of two hearts who dared to hope for more-even as the world around them burns.

He has unified his scattered people through fire, steel, and ancient oaths, but his vision of peace rests on one thing: a sacred union with the elven princess who sparked the war. He doesn't just want Katria as an ally-he believes she is his fated mate. And he will wait, fight, or burn for her soul. But as court intrigue festers, old wounds reopen, and their enemies circle, desire and duty blur. Katria and Taleth must decide whether to trust each other-not just with power, but with what's left of their hearts. Fate brought them together. War shaped them. But love? That might be the storm that breaks them both.
