His Ruthless Temptation by Plumavenetta

I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

King of Death by Kernia_

Adrik When I claimed her, that was it. I made her mine and betrayed her. She longed for a story that wasn't mine to narrate, so I did the only thing a man like me would-I sent her back. Little did I know the secret she was keeping. The worst of all, she ran straight into the enemy's claws, forcing me to start a war to get her back. I killed for her and would do it ten times if it meant I'd claim her heart again. I'd protect my family from demons with everything in me now that it wasn't two but five of us. Giulia I hated him for what he did. He made me fall in love-viciously stealing my heart for his own. I tried to run from him with a secret that I shouldn't whisper, and I knew he could never love me. I ran and regretted it. They caught me, and the revelation of Giulia Caruso hurts more than I could imagine. He's here to claim me again after I vowed never to give in, but how could I not when he is the first man to show me love? He worships me, and I fell for him harder than I did the first time. The man who stole my heart is the man I should fear, but I don't because he keeps the demons away and in return, I stole his.

Dark Chemistry |18+| (Not Edited) by Leia_LittleBee

"Everything of you is a non-existing dangerous drug, Natalia. And I'm addicted to it." He rasped beside my ear then slowly but seductively brushed his nose on my neck and then my hair like he was smelling my body and my hair. I stopped breathing as I started feeling like I was going to pass out. ❥ If you start loving someone from deep down your heart, you will stop caring about the hurts, miseries, anguishes and traumas that he/she once caused in your life. You'll even be ready to sacrifice your own life for him/her. Love can change your miseries and traumas into peace and happiness, love can change an emotionless monster into a loverboy. If you don't want to love or don't want to be loved then love won't wait for your permission. You won't even realize 'where, when and how' you fell in love. Love can destroy you within a blink, love can bring you happiness and love can even kill you with no mercy. ✧⁠*(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)✧⁠*⁠。 Natalia Rauf, a simple Bangladeshi girl, was living a peaceful life filled with family warmth, laughter, and the carefree joys of school and friendship.

They sneaked into an infamous club to discover its secrecy and have fun. Tucked away from the usual haunts, the place thrummed with an eerie allure, promising both thrill and peril in equal measure. They enjoyed, really enjoyed. Unbeknownst to her, a predator's eyes followed her every move from the VIP balcony, lurking in the shadows. What began as a harmless night out would soon spiral into a deadly game of cat and mouse, forcing her to confront the terror of being hunted by a man with no mercy.

Our Silent Vows by Plumavenetta

She was mine long before she knew it. I'd been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life, unexpected and defiant, eyes too bright for a town like this one, unafraid of what lay beneath the surface. She thought she could walk away, that she was strong enough to resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. The only thing I've ever chosen. And I would break anything to keep her-everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. R.

No one will ever love you like I do, baby." --Though she's young, Silvie has spent a lifetime paying for other people's mistakes. That's what landed her in the sights of a wolf.
