The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

Ghost Exorciser: The Oust Fake Heiress Strikes

Ghost portals opened all across the world, and getting possessed seemed as common as catching a fever. As such, humanity was forced to live in safe zones that were steadily shrinking day by day. Yet to Lana, nothing was new. She was reborn on the day when the true daughter of the Almond family returned. She watched as Brenda, her murderer from the past life, was pampered by the Almond siblings. “Lana, you should know your place and leave.” Eldest Young Almond ordered with glacial disdain. “A wretch like you never belonged to the Almond Family. Pitiful mutt.” Second Young Master Almond chuckled, his venom-laced words resounding, “And if possible, stop comparing yourself to Brenda. She is a rare awakened Dream Warden, while you... sigh. Marry a beggar, and that would be the grandest achievement in your life.” “I always wondered why a dim-witted person like her ended up as our sister. Sigh... I am concerned that she might perish after being possessed by a roadside ghost.” The Third Young Master derided. For safety and peace, Lana left the Almond family and forged her own empire. Trash? She became a supreme Talisman Practitioner! Marry a beggar? The wealthy heirs in Brookvale lined up to wed her! Die in the hands of a roadside ghost? The specters in the ghost zones trembled upon hearing her name! Poor mutt? Heh! Her business empire earned her billions of dollars every single month! Even her past life’s moonlight was shamelessly flirting with her! Lana never thought that her past life's misery was orchestrated by a schemer, neither she thought that her luck was stolen away by the docile lovable daughter of the Almond family. In this life, she vowed to live a thriving life and protect her luck. She fought off ghosts haunting her world while fighting the mysterious forces. .......................................................................................... Extract “Mister, I feel a connection with you. Would you like to adopt me?” Lana fluttered her eyelashes while gazing at the handsome young man with lustrous black hair. Yet what intoxicated her the most was the radiant purple and gold aura around her past life’s moonlight! So delicious! She longed to devour him whole! “No.” His deep voice reverberated in Lana’s heart, making her freeze for a second. ‘Ah... sure enough... an untouchable flower like him... is out of my league!’ “However... I do need a silver cat.” His words were laced with ambiguity as he stared at her intently, “Especially the dauntless one that loves to sneak into my bed at night and claw my admirers.” Lana •silver cat•: “...” Ugh... no, it’s not me .....................................................................................

FNaF x Touhou: The Golden Soul

What happens to a soul when it reaches the end of its timeline? Religions talk about the afterlife or reincarnation. Science might say the soul just disappears. Some believe spirits wander the world, bodiless, doomed to drift for eternity. Well, I’ve seen all of that happen firsthand. But enough of the deep talk—you’re probably wondering who I am. You might know me as The Crying Child or C.C.—the name the news gave me. But my real name is Chris Afton. Just Chris is fine. Now, why am I telling you this? Simple. If you die under... let’s say, “less than ideal” circumstances—whether by accident (like me) or by murder (not naming names, Dad), there’s a chance you end up here. In a strange, chaotic realm known as Gensokyo. And let me tell you—this place is one hell of a ride. I should be moving on, right? Except I can’t. For some reason, Gensokyo thinks Cassidy and I were born here. So, we’re stuck. Limbo? Purgatory? Call it whatever you want. It’s mostly peaceful... kind of. Also, for some reason, we've aged. Now we're both 18, mentally and physically, despite me dying in the freakin’ 1980s. And Michael, if I ever get out of here, I don’t care if you’re in Heaven or Hell—I will drag you out myself just to yell at you. What kind of big brother thinks shoving my head into Golden Freddy’s mouth is a good prank?! Oh, and one last thing—why are all these girls attracted to me?! Cassidy, help! ---- MC: Chris Evan Afton Second MC: Cassidy Ship: Chris X Harem

Detective Conan: The Teyvat Syndicate

Death from overwork was just the beginning for Natsume. Reawakening in the perilous, murder-filled world of Detective Conan, she is tasked by a mysterious System to fix a critical glitch: the Black Organization is too powerful, and the world is on the brink of collapse. Her cheat? The Genshin Impact Role-Playing System. By pulling character cards, Natsume can summon the beloved heroes of Teyvat into the modern world, splitting her consciousness to control them and utilizing their elemental powers to tip the scales of fate. To survive and complete her mission, Natsume establishes the 'Teyvat Organization,' a shadowy third faction that operates right under the noses of both the police and the criminal underworld. Soon, Alhaitham is infiltrating the Black Organization to earn a codename, Xiangling is serving up Slime-based dishes to the Detective Boys, and Kaeya is negotiating high-stakes deals with Bourbon and Gin. Meanwhile, the brilliant but perpetually baffled Conan Edogawa is losing his mind trying to deduce the scientific logic behind glowing 'glass beads' and impossible locked-room mysteries. But the Conan world is full of unpredictable variables, and Natsume isn't the only anomaly. When a mysterious, high-ranking Black Organization executive codenamed 'Cointreau' appears with golden eyes and blonde hair, Natsume realizes her missing brother Aether might have beaten her to this world by forty years. With the FBI, the Black Organization, and a shrinking detective all closing in on Teyvat's secrets, can Natsume balance the scales of justice, or will her growing family be caught in the crossfire?

Knotted By The Three Feral Alphas

Framed for poisoning Lila (her sister) at the full-moon feast, Elena lost everything in one night. Her name, her pack, her future. The Shadowpine alphas sentenced her to death by exile. They chained her and shipped her north as tribute to the Blackthorn brothers; three feral lycan kings whose wolves had already started turning rogue. Darius, Kane, and Rylan Blackthorn rule the Frostfang territories with blood on their hands. Twenty years ago their father raped a witch’s daughter. The curse that followed branded the brothers: without a true fated mate their wolves would drive them mad in six months and force them to slaughter every living thing in the North. Elena is that mate. The second she steps into their hall the bond snaps tight. They knot her that same night, hard and without mercy, because the curse leaves them no choice. What starts as captivity turns into something darker. Elena carries latent alpha blood her pack hid from her. The bond wakes it. She learns to shift just enough to command their wolves when they lose control. She learns to want the violence they offer. She stops fighting the heat and starts using it. She walks back into Shadowpine with the brothers at her back and slits her father’s throat herself. ============================ The witch returns demanding Elena’s firstborn as payment. Pregnancy nearly kills her. Rival packs smell weakness and march north. Through it all the three alphas stay possessive, brutal, and unapologetic. They never soften into safe men. Elena never asks them to. She chooses them because they are the only ones strong enough to stand beside the queen she becomes. Knotted by the Three Feral Alphas is dark reverse-harem lycan romance that stays dark. No redemption arcs that erase the teeth.
