©2024 COPYRIGHTS. ❝It's you i want not your virginity, literacy or marriage count.❞ Nabeel became her shadow, her protector in a world that had abandoned her. He fought for her, bled for her, and, in the end, claimed her as his own. In his arms, she found not just love, but a savage devotion-something she never imagined she would experience in this lifetime. And as their worlds collided in passionate, dangerous harmony, Umaimah learned that love, when it finds you, doesn't come with the gentle caress of a fairy tale; it comes with the weight of a storm. Umaimah, a village girl with a heart heavy with desperation, was shackled by the cruelty of her adoptive parents, who treated her more as a servant than family. Her dreams, whispered in the dead of night, were filled with visions of escape-escape from the suffocating village that never saw her worth. Her first and only hope of salvation lay in marriage, but even that fate seemed to mock her. Three engagements had been broken, each leaving her more jaded, and now, at the ripe old age of "marriageable despair," she found herself cast aside, an unwed relic in a world that valued only brides. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. She was sent to the city as a maid-a meager consolation, but one that allowed her to slip away from her tormentors, to vanish into the sprawling anonymity of the urban jungle. She didn't just wish to escape; she needed to find her real parents, the bloodline that might redeem her.

He didn't break her all at once. He taught her how to shatter herself. To everyone watching, she has the life girls dream of : money, beauty, a powerful husband, and a marriage wrapped in perfection. But behind their locked doors, perfection is the punishment she can never escape. He tells her who to be. He tells her how to walk, how to breathe, how to think. Every mistake is a lesson. Every bruise is a reminder. Every betrayal is somehow her fault. And she believes him. Because after years of being molded, corrected, and rewritten, she no longer remembers who she was before he decided to "fix" her. She only knows the rules he carved into her bones. Don't speak too loudly. Don't ask questions. Don't look at him when he's angry. Don't look away when he wants your attention. And above all Don't ever forget that love is earned, not given. Her sister whispers that she's losing herself. Her friends say they're worried. Her subconscious screams that something is wrong. But she silences all of them. Because she is so close so close to becoming the perfect wife, he swears she could be if she tries a little harder. And if she can be perfect... Maybe he'll finally love her. Or maybe perfection is the very thing that will destroy her. *This story depicts domestic and emotional abuse. These scenes are fictional and not meant to glorify or romanticize abuse.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins and the cursed blade of Selverin!" a high-ranking vampire lord declared, his red eyes gleaming with hunger. "Four hundred thousand gold and a siren's heart," a mermaid duchess countered, her black-scaled tail flicking in irritation. "A million gold, and my entire estate in the Shadowlands!" a fae lord sneered, eyes flashing with power. But it was all for nothing. At the very top of the auction hall, beyond the reach of the common bidders, sat the true rulers of the supernatural world. A private royal chamber loomed over the hall, separated by thick glass enchanted with dark magic. Inside, three powerful figures observed the auction in silence, untouched by the chaos below. They were kings. The rulers of the night. And they had already decided the outcome. At the center sat King Aldric Vaugn, the Alpha of all werewolves. To Aldric's right lounged King Darius Velmont, the ruler of vampires. And to Aldric's left, reclining with an almost bored expression, was King Orion Thalassar, the sea's sovereign. Aldric leaned forward, his voice like rolling thunder. "Three million gold." Darius merely chuckled, setting his goblet aside. "Gold is a fleeting currency, my friend. Let's make this more... enticing." He turned his gaze to the auctioneer. "Ten million gold. And the Bloodstone of Evermore." Orion sighed dramatically. "You two and your gold. It's so boring." He sat up, stretching lazily before giving a slow, knowing smirk. "How about an entire kingdom?" The entire hall froze.
