"𝑯𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒖𝒊𝒏. 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒂𝒍𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏."
Elara lived her whole life in the shadows of a city that pretended to be peaceful-until the night fire came. A man bound in chains of flame and blood, whispered about in fear, known only as a monster.
Everyone told her to run. Everyone warned she would burn.
But when his eyes found hers, the fire did not destroy her-it awakened something she never knew she carried.
Now illusions twist the streets, the world teeters on ruin, and Elara stands at the edge of a fate she never asked for. The monster is not what he seems, and the bond pulling her closer may be the key to saving them all... or the end of everything.
Because nothing burns forever. Not even the dawn.

Drenched in Betrayal
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.

When a tyrant king claims that she is the reincarnation of his treacherous queen, Elara is torn from her life of anonymity and thrust into a world of power, manipulation, and danger. The king demands her loyalty, but his motives are as dark as the curse that plagues his throne. In the gilded halls of the cursed palace, she discovers secrets that could shatter the fragile line between love and hate. As their deadly game of power escalates, she must decide: Will she destroy the king to save herself, or surrender to the darkness that binds them both? The throne demands blood. The curse demands sacrifice. And her heart may demand something far worse.
