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

Fated To Reject You: A Deal With The Devil

She was his dead brother's mate. By tradition, she now belonged to him. It was an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. All she had to do was be his breeder, part her legs and bear him sons. But Prince Ruin was cruel. And every day was a rejection from Ruin, a constant humiliation ritual to remind her once more that she was nothing but a warm c*nt and a womb to bear his children. One day, after a betrayal too jarring to bear, Guinevere Laurent is reborn and decides she'd had enough. She abandoned her duties as Princess and fled from her mad groom under a different identity, with a secret she hoped no one else would discover. Only to get run over by a popular billionaire Alpha, Draven, who had been in town for a visit. Five years later, Guinevere is a stable business owner and engaged to Alpha Draven who treats her like she is his world. But Ruin won't have it that his bride got away from him. When he finally finds Guinevere after five long years of searching, it is at the wedding altar, about to be bound to another man, and with a little boy with fangs, calling her "Mom." And Ruin does the only thing that seems right in his books. He abducts his runaway breeder from her wedding. "Forgive me, Vi," he says. I tilt my head. "Get on your knees." He sinks to his knees, gazing up at me with hooded eyes as I strut over to where he kneels. I delve my fingers into his hair and push him down to my heels. "Kiss my feet." His head lowers, but instead, he grips my calves and brings his lips between my legs. "How about I kiss you here instead?" His mouth brushes against my heat. "Will you forgive me then?" Warning: The male lead is both the villain and the hero. There will be other men you ship with the female lead out of fear for her life and mental health. But Ruin is a constant you must get used to. Because he's always there. Ruin is essential in the way Chaos is, and if there is one thing I promise you, it is that you will come to crave him, too. Because normal is boring. This is a dark, erotic romance. Open it at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now that you've decided to ignore my warning, please, by all means, enjoy.

Shadow Breathing: Origin

A demon spared his life… but not out of mercy. It was a decision that would one day threaten the balance of two worlds. Raizen was just an ordinary boy— until one night, everything was taken from him. His family was slaughtered. His home was drowned in blood. And standing in the middle of it— Was something inhuman. “Why…?” Raizen’s voice trembled. The figure smiled. “Because you survived.” Instead of killing him, the demon did something far worse— It changed him. A dark power was forced into his body… A power that didn’t belong to humans. The Awakening That night, Raizen didn’t just lose everything— He awakened something forbidden. Shadow Breathing. A power that allows him to control shadows— but slowly, he realizes: He isn’t controlling it. “It moved… before I did.” The shadow reacts. It listens. It learns. And with every battle, it grows stronger. The Journey Begins Driven by revenge, Raizen steps into a world of hunters, demons, and hidden forces. But revenge is not his only problem. Because as he grows stronger— Something else begins to notice him. “You’re not normal,” Kagen said. Raizen didn’t deny it. “…I know.” The Truth Unfolds Raizen soon learns a terrifying truth: His power doesn’t come from this world. It comes from something beyond it. A place between worlds. A space that cannot be fully understood. And Raizen— Is connected to it. “You’re not just using the power,” Kagen warned. “…You’re becoming part of it.” The Bigger Threat As Raizen grows stronger, he attracts attention from powerful forces: The Circle — beings who observe and control balance Entities beyond the source — things that don’t belong to reality Others like him… who all failed “You are not the first,” a voice echoed. Raizen’s eyes narrowed. “…Then where are they?” “…Gone.” The Main Conflict Raizen faces a terrifying dilemma: If he uses his power, he gets stronger But the more he uses it… the more he loses himself “There is a line,” a mysterious figure warned. “…Once you cross it, you don’t come back.” But Raizen makes a choice. “I’m not stopping.” The Turning Point He crosses that line. And everything changes. The shadow is no longer just power— It becomes a gateway. A bridge between worlds. “You are close to completion.” “…Completion of what?” “…Becoming the passage.” Core Theme This isn’t just a revenge story. It’s about: Identity — Am I still human? Control — Am I using the power, or is it using me? Evolution — What happens when power changes your existence?

My Mate Is The Ruthless Alpha President

" you can never be my mate" Vivian William thought she was finally about to feel safe. She walked into the Pack Affairs Office believing she was securing a future only to be destroyed by a single phone call. The man she trusted didn’t hesitate. He laughed as he told her the truth. She was never meant to be his mate. Never chosen. Just a convenient name on paper until the woman he truly wanted arrived. Abandoned. Humiliated. Watched by a pack that thrived on her shame. And with her mother’s life depending on medical coverage she no longer had, Vivian was left with no room to fall apart. That was when a stranger appeared. Finnick Norton was calm in a way that felt dangerous. Sharp-eyed. Controlled. Sitting in a wheelchair, yet carrying a presence that made the room bend around him. He didn’t offer comfort. He didn’t offer lies. He offered marriage. A bond without promises. Without romance. A clean agreement between two people who needed something badly enough to risk everything. Vivian said yes, believing she had nothing left to lose. She didn’t know she had just married the most powerful man in Sunshine City. Finnick Norton isn’t just a stranger. He’s the unseen Alpha behind Finnor Group the empire that rose in silence and now stands above the city’s strongest families. A man who controls without raising his voice. A man who never moves without purpose. At work, Vivian is forced to interview the city’s most mysterious and desired bachelor only to come face to face with her husband hours after marrying him… a man who looks at her like she’s a stranger. But Finnick is always watching. What begins as survival turns into tension. Into restraint. Into something neither of them planned for. Because Vivian was never meant to be temporary. And Finnick Norton never makes a bond he doesn’t intend to keep.

SSS Awakening: I Can Create Skills By Will

This world is broken.. Dungeons tear open the land. Monsters pour out. And in the shadows, something ancient waits to return. Arthur once ruled the slums as a mafia boss.. feared, decisive, and ruthless. Power was never given to him. He took it. Until one moment of misplaced trust ended his life in betrayal. Death should have been the end. Instead, he awakens in another world.. at the very bottom. No class. No talent. No backing. Thrown into an F-rank dungeon as expendable fodder, Arthur is forced to fight with nothing but instinct and intent. And when death closes in, something answers. Not a blessing. Not a class. A system that responds to will itself. His SOVEREIGN INTENT SYSTEM!!! As Arthur survives, his intent sharpens into lethal skills, his presence bends the battlefield, and those who fight beside him grow steadier without knowing why. But power has a price, and the deeper he pushes, the clearer the truth becomes. The Abyss is stirring. Its worshippers move in secret, corrupting monsters, twisting humans, and preparing for the return of an Abyssal King long erased from history. Authorities deny it. The common folk fear it. The cult welcomes it. Arthur doesn’t. He has climbed from the bottom once before. He knows this world’s rules. And he knows how to break them. This time, he won’t stop at survival. He will rise. He will dominate. And when the Abyss comes knocking.. He intends to stand at the top.
