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. Thorne Vargan is a creature of shadow and vengeance, the son of a Witch Luna burned alive by Althea's own mother. 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

In a world transformed by the arrival of mana, Earth is no longer the domain of humanity alone. Magical beasts and three powerful humanoid species have claimed vast territories, forcing humanity into fortified cities protected by mana-infused barriers. The hope for survival lies with the awakened: those blessed with magical classes and the ability to wield mana. Victor Revenant, a hilarious and self-deprecating 16-year-old, has spent his life dreaming of joining their ranks. But on the day of his Awakening Test, his dreams are shattered. Like countless others, he fails to awaken, destined to remain ordinary in a world where mediocrity means irrelevance. Just as Victor hits rock bottom, his father gifts him a VRMMORPG game, Ascendant Realms: Cultivation Chronicles, as a consolation prize.

Armed with the Primordial Chaos Constitution and the legendary Void Emperor Bloodline, Victor embarks on a dual journey—mastering the game’s cultivation system while using his newfound abilities to change his fate in the real world. What begins as an escape from his failures turns into a chance to rewrite his destiny.

I Got Reincarnated With a System That Kills Me If My Students Fail

Takeshi died once and was given a second chance—but this time, he has no freedom. He wakes up as Aphrodite Souken, the newly appointed professor of Class Zero at the empire’s most prestigious academy. The class is a joke to everyone—an assembly of the worst, most disposable students in the entire institution. Before he can even introduce himself, a system binds his life to theirs: Fate-Bound Instructor System (FBIS) Activated. If any student’s Fate Index reaches zero, Takeshi loses years of his lifespan. Fail enough students, and he dies—permanently. The students are broken, dangerous, and hated by society. They’re also the only reason he can stay alive. Takeshi doesn’t want to be a teacher. He’d rather be out drinking, flirting with women, and living a carefree life. He resents the system, the academy, and the endless pressure. But there’s a strange thrill in each quest—an adrenaline rush that scratches a deeper part of him. To survive, he must turn the worst class into the best through deadly, time-limited missions—each one designed to fix their futures in a world that already counted them out. The academy laughs at him. The professors bet on his failure. But as he fights to save them, something unexpected happens: Several of his students begin falling for Aphrodite—not out of innocence, but out of respect, gratitude, and the power he represents. The FBIS even rewards emotional bonds with strength, authority, and access to powerful tools. Now his classroom becomes a battlefield of power, affection, jealousy, and dominance. Because in this world, love is not a comfort—it’s a weapon, and every quest he completes only proves one thing: Takeshi may be a playboy on the surface… but he’s a predator when it comes to survival. SYSTEM IN MORE DETAIL: FATE-BOUND INSTRUCTOR SYSTEM (FBIS) “Your life is bound to the fate of those you guide.” SYSTEM STATUS Instructor: Aphrodite Souken (Takeshi) Class: Class Zero Activation: Complete Current Lifespan Remaining: 42 years, 8 months, 11 days Fate Index Warning: Active SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Fate-Bound Instructor System (FBIS) is a life-linked mechanism that binds the instructor’s lifespan to the Fate Index of every student under their guidance. FATE INDEX (FI) The Fate Index measures a student’s probability of a positive future. It is a composite score based on the student’s current potential, environment, mindset, and ability to change. FI > 50 = Positive trajectory FI 50–20 = High risk FI

Pokémon: Above the Top

#slow-temporal #high-density-events ------------------------------------------------ Once a tool for killing, his previous life had been one of solitude, his strength nothing more than a weapon wielded by others. When he was granted a second chance, his only wish was to escape that fate, find his lost companions and grow stronger for himself. Now Sato wants more. The ultimate illusion, blurring reality and fantasy! - Zoroark "Fear comes from within the heart." - Gengar The pride of pseudo-legendaries cannot be desecrated! - Tyranitar Poison at its peak turns naturally adorable~ - Ariados Even without wings, I can still fly! - Sharpedo The more underlings I have, the stronger I become! - Houndoom Acting cute is never an option. - Umbreon If you love me, hug me! - Cacturne What to Expect: This fic is a story about our MC, Sato, not a tale of saving the world and defeating villains. It’s focused on Sato, while in the background the world continues to develop on its own. Since he has been part of the Pokémon world from the very beginning, he doesn’t have that complex of “defeating the villains,” nor does the story need him to reach an ending. It’s a story about the classic Pokémon Journey, Pokémon, adventures, friends, certain responsibilities, and maybe a little bit of love… Don’t expect every villain from the anime or games to have a “conclusion,” or for "every" event from the “canon” to happen here. So just sit back, enjoy the ride, and let yourself be carried away by the adventure… This story is meant to be savored! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer. This fanfic is an translation of the original work "精灵之山巅之上" by the author 邙月. All rights to the original work belong to its creator.

BREAKUP BEFORE ETERNITY

Valerian, a beautiful and elegant woman with a fate that even her own father couldn't predict. Valerian was the daughter of a powerful demon king and a servant in the former kingdom. Since birth, she was never acknowledged by anyone, except for her father, who was the only one who cared for her. Despite being a villain, he treated Valerian with great kindness, especially since she grew up without a mother, unlike her other siblings. Chaos began when Valerian was betrothed to a crown prince, a mere mortal. Initially, Steven rejected the match, but due to threats from Rush, he reluctantly agreed. He wasn't foolish; Rush was a demon king, and their kingdom was filled with ordinary humans who could easily die. Valerian, on the other hand, was overjoyed, thinking she finally had a loved one. She was already of marriageable age, but no man in their circle was interested in her, as she was just the daughter of a lowly servant. The war was over, but the turmoil in Valerian's heart didn't subside. With ragged breathing, she tried to reach for Steven's feet, but he seemed completely indifferent. "Even if I'm reborn... uhuk... I'll still choose to love you, Stev... even if... uh... you'll kill me a thousand times..." Valerian gazed wistfully at the handsome man before her, caressing her slightly rounded belly. Her consciousness slowly faded, and Steven just stared at her coldly, without a hint of intent to help. "The monster has fallen!" "The monster has fallen, King Steven has won the war!" The guards cheered joyfully.
