The Forbidden Entity (BWWM) by JLB_18
28 parts Ongoing Mature
In this world of supernatural beings, power, and greed act as a catalyst for violence and war. Humans are subordinate in every sense and reside at the bottom of the hierarchy. Vampires hunt them for sport, and other beings condemn them to forced labor. Lycans are the only creatures to offer humans peace and solidarity, making their territory a place of refuge for the dwindling species. Most humans live under the security that lycans are honorable enough to keep their word. Thus, they follow their rules and live a quiet and quaint life. Humans can even choose to work at the royal castle for wages. 
So, what happens when a cautious eighteen-year-old with a big heart and humble personality decides to seize the opportunity? 
Sayora is sensitive, selfless, soft-spoken, and empathetic. She's like a beacon that attracts everything in her path. That notion becomes even more apparent when she arrives at the castle to obtain a position. However, her life takes a drastic turn shortly after her arrival, and Sayora is propelled into a world of lust, sex, violence, danger, history, mates, and carnal desires. 
Powerful secrets get unveiled, jealousy arises, and the threat of war looms over the castle. Lycans hold most of the world's power, and their enemies will stop at nothing to dethrone them. Amidst all the turmoil, Sayora learns she's not as innocent as she once believed. . . . . . ⚠️ Read at your discretion. This story is MATURE, and it's rated 18+ for crude language, strong violence, gore, descriptive sex scenes, smut, nudity, explicit content, taboo topics, themes of suicide and depression, and BDSM elements. ⚠️ 
NOTE: The MCs do not meet right away!!!!! I take my time introducing them, so if you prefer rushed stories where the MCs profess their love in the second chapter, then this book isn't for you.

For centuries vampires and werewolves have hated each other but here they are learning and working together.

A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.
