Surrendered To The Lord Of Sin

How would a wolf birth a witch and a witch wed the Devil’s Bone? Lucrezia Bathory has lived as an outcast from her pack until married to the rumored Devil’s Incarnate of Dreadwyn. A land built on souls of the dead and the throne of human bones—an ugly creature of the dark with sharp fangs, claws, and a monstrous form—known to eat the flesh of the innocent, and drink the marrow of the wicked. To protect her family and House Bathory, Lucrezia carries the cross as sacrifice to prove her birthright. But who knew the creature wedded wasn't as described in the tome as ‘ugly’ but a Sin destined to lure her astray. A Daydream disguised as a Nightmare, and a Nightmare of many colors. *** EXCERPT “You want to know what I want?” He stepped forward, pinning her gaze deep into his bright hazel eyes, reminding her sanity she just treaded the wrong question. When he drew closer, she stepped back, heart drumming loud that its rhythmic sound replaced the sudden silence sealed with heat, until the back of her legs hit the table behind, taking her weight along its surface. Gods… she was only wearing a silk night gown, and the windows were perfectly closed, hearth warm enough against the cold yet she was burning. “I can’t breathe, Lucreiza,” He pronounced her name like a sinful prayer, and she gulped, her mouth almost hanging from delusion. “I can't breathe because you’re fucking me with your scent. I’m going crazy with every passing second I breathe, and seeing you like this, utterly bare, makes me want to make you beg.” It was so short, but she could feel every power, every restrian, every pleasure, just by words alone. How insane can it drive her, were determined by her reaction. Unknown emotions she has never felt before, emotions that heated and chilled her all at the same time. A gasp escaped her lips when he pressed closer, and her legs parted unconsciously, conceding to his unexpressed demand. Now she was pinned in between the body of a monster. One whom she should fear, but felt… expectation? He leaned in and she stuttered a breath, throwing her head back as his fangs grazed her skin in a manner that’s supposed to make her crawl. Run. But instead, it made her desperate. “You don't know even half of what I want, half of what I need.” At this point, Lucreiza’s mind was a totally mess that nothing else registered apart from what he was doing to her. “I’m not just the monster you should fear, witch. I’m the Devil you should deny,” That was the thing… she couldn’t reject him. Fear him. Stir clear. Run. Nothing else made sense to her apart from the burning flames in her chest, the one she never knew when exactly it transpired. The world seemed to cease when she opened her mouth and uttered the damnation, that even the heavens screamed warning from above. “Y-yes,” she whispered, voice hanging from ecstasy. “M-Make me b-beg,” PS: MATURED CONTENT. #webnovel

Wanderer Among Blades

In a land where laws are written on the edge of a blade, a boy is born without a real name and without a family to claim him. People know him only as “the Son of No One” — a body forged by hardship, and a heart that has learned only one lesson from life: strength is the only truth that matters. When war erupts on the edge of the empire, he sees it as his one chance to escape the mud, the hunger, and the humiliation. He enters his first battle dreaming of glory… and walks out surrounded by corpses that will never remember his face, with his village burned to ash and a hollow darkness tearing at his chest. From that moment, his wandering begins. One sword. A road with no end. A memory that never stops bleeding. On shattered roads littered with broken spears and ruined flags, he meets a war-weary monk who has lost his faith in the heavens, a woman who trades in men’s secrets, and a commander who calls war a masterpiece and peace a sickness. Each of them offers a different answer to the same question: What is true strength? The power of the body, of deception, of belief… or of regret? With every step he takes, one question grows heavier inside him: Can the sharpest blade in the world cut through the emptiness in his own heart? “Wanderer Among Blades” is not the tale of a flawless hero, but the journey of a drifter standing between man and monster — a swordsman walking a bloodstained path, facing the most merciless enemy of all: the person he sees reflected in still water after the battle. If you seek realistic battles, a grim historical world, and a psychological, philosophical struggle over the meaning of power, this is a road you are meant to follow.
