The Feral Alpha's Captive

Althea Nocturne is nothing but a wolfless omega rejected by her Alpha mate and framed for murdering his unborn heir. With a pack baying for her blood and nowhere left to run, she flees into the one place no wolf dares tread: the Red Mist, where the Hellhound of the North makes his den.

He swore to destroy everyone responsible and when Morgana's daughter stumbles bleeding into his hellish domain, he sees his chance. He claims her as a captive. As the perfect tool to gut the pack system from within. But the bond doesn't care about his plans for retribution. It doesn't care that she's the daughter of his enemy. It thrums for her with a fury that threatens to consume them both Her scent tempts the beast he's barely controlling, her fear feeds something he thought long dead while she bears secrets that could unravel everything he's built. And while Thorne keeps her caged, the Alpha she fled is coming. He wants his little omega back. But Thorne isn't letting her go. — ~Excerpt~ "Because," he said, his voice dropping to a husky growl that made my core clench, "my restraint is going to shatter if you keep touching me." The words hung in the air between us. I looked down, following his gaze, and saw it, the unmistakable bulge pressed against his pants, hard and straining. My pheromones. They were affecting him. "I would like to take you up on your offer," he muttered, his voice rugged, tipping into ravenous. Confusion whirled through me. "What offer?" "The kiss," he whispered. "Not a peck, Thea." My heart ceased beating, liquid fire filling my veins. "I want tongue.” — Dark paranormal romance Morally Grey ML Forced proximity Captor/Captive ENEMIES to lovers Fated mates Angst Smut

Bought by My stepbrother, the don

Carmen Castilo was the only daughter of one of the most powerful mafia dons in the city—until the night her father was shot in front of her. At his funeral, while the family mourns, Carmen disappears. Kidnapped from her own home and drugged, she wakes beneath blinding lights in an underground auction where the most powerful criminals in the world gather to bid—not on weapons or territory, but on her. To them, Carmen isn’t just a woman. She’s the last piece of her father’s empire. The final bid reaches a staggering one billion dollars. The buyer is Nico Romano—the stepbrother she betrayed five years ago. Once cast out of the family after Carmen accused him of treachery, Nico returns more powerful, more ruthless, and determined to collect the debt he believes she owes him. Escape is impossible. Alone, stripped of allies, and trapped under Nico’s control, Carmen is forced to play by his rules—a calculated system of rewards and consequences he calls repayment. But Nico isn’t the only one playing a game. While he believes he owns her, Carmen is quietly rebuilding what was stolen from her. Someone murdered her father, and the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that his death—and her reason for getting Nico’s exiled—may have been part of the same carefully planned conspiracy. Surrounded by enemies and secrets, Carmen must reclaim her father’s empire before it falls permanently into the wrong hands. And the one man who might damn her soul…may also be the only ally powerful enough to help her win.

He’d be able to do things he couldn’t in his past life, like have fun and woo beautiful women. But that fantasy was instantly cut short on realizing he wasn’t the male lead, but instead a useless extra that was lovesick over the male lead, who later ended up killing him. Vector, now Varney, wants nothing of that life. Aside from being straight as hell, he also knows the male lead ended up killing him… so, on the day he was supposed to officially meet the male lead, he stayed away, having no interest in competing for the male lead’s attention with other lovesick fools. Luckily, a rare opportunity comes by— to attend Hillstone Supernatural academy, a school where only elites attend, but every decade, few selected humans from every kingdom are opportuned to attend, for a chance to make a name for themselves before graduation. In the academy, Varney instantly discovers that nothing is as it seems. Lies and secrets litter the dark hallway, safety is nonexistent and the strong preyed on the weak. Humans, who’re at the bottom of the hierarchy, are more like flies in the midst of monsters, waiting to be swatted away.

But can that be possible when he not only unexpectedly crosses paths with the daunting, moody male lead but also ends up having to share a room with him? Worse, the male lead’s reputation is dark as night and even the strongest students here in Hillstone are wary of him. Like his problems aren’t enough, wherever he went, he attracted trouble his way like a faulty magnet, causing him to be noticed against his will. Varney’s carefully mapped-out second chance life went from oil to open fire in a heartbeat.

The Crowned Greed: Transmigrated into a Demonic Dragon

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

Reborn as the Apocalypse: My Divine Harem and The Omega Exchange

I am not a god. I am the Cycle of Destruction and Rebirth itself. In the previous eon, I was betrayed. The women I trusted—my so-called soulmates—stabbed me in the back, forcing my destructive laws to go berserk and wipe out an entire civilization. Now, I’ve awakened in a modern world where Aetheric energy is just returning. I am weak, my memories are fractured, and the apocalyptic toxin inside me is threatening to tear this new era apart. My only anchor? The Omega Exchange, an ancient entity bound to my soul, hiding in the shadows of the world's most hypocritical faction: The Divine Temple. To survive and reclaim my cosmic throne, I must balance two paths: Flesh to suppress the Destruction. Soul to ignite the Rebirth. In my eyes, the women of this world are no longer equals. They are divided into a strict, unforgiving hierarchy: 1. Fuel (The Contaminated): Fake saints and worthless parasites. Good for nothing but raw energy to be ruthlessly burned and consumed by the Exchange. 2. Vessels (The Release): Beautiful, but lacking true essence. Their only purpose is to absorb my violent urges and satisfy my primal lust. No attachments. No mercy. 3. Spirit-Rhyme (The Resonant): Rare, brilliant souls that resonate with the abyss. They are my eyes in the shadows, my branded priestesses. I conquer their minds and shatter their sanity long before I ever claim their flesh. 4. Apex-Tier (The True Origins): The flawless, singular few. Bearers of the universe's ultimate laws. Only they are worthy of absolute possession, my protection, and ruling the ashes of the next era by my side. This time, I will not be deceived by fake affection or holy masks. I will solve the mysteries of this recovering world, unmask the traitors hiding in the Divine Temple, and violently take back what is mine. Those who submit will reign. Those who deceive me will be reduced to dust.

THE DEMON QUEEN ’S BABY PRINCE: My "Lulu" Days at the Royal Academy

"My mother is the Queen of Darkness... but to her, I’m just her 'little pumpkin'." ​Reincarnated as Alexandros, the third son of the terrifying Queen Hecate of the Erebos Kingdom, I had everything going for me. Ancestral magic, a royal bloodline, and a mother so overprotective she’d start a world war over a scraped knee. ​Under the terms of the new peace treaty, I’ve been sent to the Valerius Institute—the most prestigious human academy. My plan? Keep a low profile, ace my exams, and enjoy a peaceful daily life. ​The problem? ​My mother crashes parent-teacher conferences in full suit of armor. ​My potential "fiancées"—an obsessed human Saint and a possessive werewolf—won't leave me alone for a second. ​The "Peace Treaty" is just a front for a conspiracy targeting me directly. ​Between magic homework and explosive family dinners, I’ll have to prove that even if Mom still calls me "Lulu," you shouldn't underestimate the crown prince of chaos. ​My birth might not have been a coincidence... and the world isn't ready for the truth. --------------------------------------------------- { Monday to Friday: * 1 Chapter/day at 11:00 PM } {​Weekend Special (Saturday & Sunday): * 2 Chapters/day! * Releases between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM} --------------------------------------------------- ​Tags : #Harem #Academy #Yandere #NonHuman #SliceOfLife #Action #Adventure #WeakToStrong #Kingdom #RichFamily #Comedy

After Rebirth, I Became The Queen Of Utopia In The Beast World

#BEASTTAMING #BLOODLINE #ADVENTURE Rebirth after death is already a miracle… But rebirth as a rabbit, the prey of both low-rank and high-rank beasts? Now that’s not even luck, that’s punishment. Linda Ein is born again—but in the Beast World—as a tiny, fluffy, high-value snack in a world full of predators. She discovers that the beastmen here suffer from a strange disorder that makes them shift uncontrollably between human and beast depending on their emotions, instincts, stress, or even random habits. They have no idea why this happens. But they assume it’s because their world lacks females, and that various mates for each of them will magically “fix” everything. Unfortunately for Linda and fortunately for them, Linda—now a rabbit—is the rarest female they’ve ever seen.  But Linda had one advantage no other creature had: in her previous life, she came from a family of generational zoologists, people who studied animals and passed it down to their offsprings the way other families passed down carpentry or smithing. She knew animal behavior, instincts, patterns, tricks. And this Beast World was simply… a very large, very chaotic research site. So when the beastmen begged her to stay, she lifted her rabbit ears and declared: “Perfection begins with giving me my own house.” “Done!”
“I need a store too. Beside it.” “Done!” “And… a generous supply of carrots delivered regularly. Two trucks a week isn’t bad.” “…..Done!” “Also, someone please tell that 1000-year-old flying snake to stop circling my roof.” “…” Suddenly, beastmen of all tribes are lining up, begging her…. “Queen Rabbit, please stay with me so I can stabilize!” “Me too!” “I want your presence too!” “Queen Rabbit, choose me!” Linda raises a paw. “Enough. I hear you. But this Queen Rabbit is a STEPMOTHER now so,….”
