He vowed to never touch a woman, to never let any desire rule his logic. For many years, it was easy to remain disciplined. Until she came, the personification of his darkest nightmare. “I thought you didn't like me?” she uttered in silence. He could clearly see in that dimly lit room how her lips curved up. “I don’t,” he replied coldly. “Then why,” she stepped forward. “could you not help to leave when you saw me in the King’s arms?” He fell silent, throwing her a lethal look. “And I’m sure you know what he did is nothing compared to what he can do on our wedding night. Imagine him doing all those things to me—” And he snapped. Towering over her like a predator cornering his prey, he pinned her on the wall at the darkest corner of that room. “You,” he uttered silently as he breathed against her lips. “don’t provoke a creature from hell, Rose.” *** A woman living in her nightmares. Melrose is destined to marry the king. It’s not her choice, but to marry the most powerful man in their kingdom is the best the world could offer a lady who needs a man. Everything is going as planned. Until the king's cousin, Reed Knight, the dark and brooding lord comes into her life unannounced. The man hates her every action, her every word, her every look. How could she not care? But her simple curiosity toward his hostility turns into something else… something too dangerous for their own good. As a woman haunted by her dark past, seeking for light, will she find refuge in the darkness? Cover is not mine. Credits to the rightful owner.
①2023.10.5 【An Apology to Readers and the novel Break Announcement】 Hello readers who enjoyed this book, I'm CloudC. I'm sorry for the 1 month break, this was due to the fact that I was made redundant at the beginning of last month and with very little earnings from writing novels, I started a frantic search for a job in order to make ends meet (while I haven't found one yet) Once life is back on track, I promise you that I will be back to updating as soon as I can, and I'll be back to updating as of 24.1.1! Please forgive me, I was really hard pressed by life and had no choice but to cut off my updates. Chapter 103 is definitely not the real ending, the plot of this book has only progressed halfway, this chapter can be considered a minor climax or the beginning of a key turning point in Chad and Orville's emotions. The book is marked as "Finished", I think it may be due to contractual reasons, because it's not what I marked, after a while, I will discuss with the editor to change the status of the book. This novel will be back on 24.1.1, please look forward to it, I'm sorry for the break in production. ②2023.9.2 Notice: On the cover is the ML: Orville ③2023.8.17 Notice: Frequency of daily updates:One episode per day ================================================== Chad has three secrets.

*** NO RAPE/CHEATING/MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDING *** Death spares no one... But sometimes Fate does. When Bai Yue opened her eyes, the darkness was gone and she was back in her childhood bedroom. And just like that, the quiet and obedient girl was gone, replaced by a cold and hurt woman who refused to follow the path society had built for her. Soon, rumors said that the Fifth miss of the Bai family had gone crazy. Only a certain crown prince refused to believe so and approached her with a charming smile. "Bai Yue, come to my manor and be a teacher to my son. I will protect you all your life." "Yue'er, don't I look good? Why don't you marry me? I will be very good to you." "Yue'er, your bed looks cold and lonely." The crown prince who was a devil to outsiders would turn into a charming man around her. Then one day, a sweet little bun tugged on the crown prince's sleeve.

"He wanted her to be stronger, he believed in her strength. Valerie thought he only sees her as his fellow knight comrade. Until they finally taste each other's blood and their world will never be the same again," *** Valerie Dubois, joins the soldiers to fight on the front lines. She replaced her weak brother who was the heir of her family. She disguised herself as a men for five years and never seriously became a knight. Her troops was defeated, due to an incompetent general and treason. She was slandered and became the cause of their defeat. She became a prisoner of war and was tortured.

I'm not too thirsty for his blood. But I need it. He smiled, looked at me then unbuttoned his clothes. He showed the veins on his neck and some of his charming masculine curves. "Go ahead," he said. I touched his body and brought my face closer. My fangs grew and I plunged them into his neck. I gulped down his sweet blood. I won't drink too much. He's not my prey. I could see his calm expression. He clearly enjoys what I do. "This is unfair," he said. "why?" Raphael then took my hand and dropped me on my back. "Let me taste your blood too, Valerie. Will you enjoy it as much as I do?" he said. Umm, I was not ready for this. He was already strong. Why did he want to drink my blood too?? *** Author's Note: This story contains Gore, sadistic scenes, brutality and uncensored action scenes. The MC is Vampire, of course she drinks blood. I like writing explicit scenes. I already warned you. No explicit smut scene. A little bit of humour. Well, I am not confident enough to be able to make you laugh. I just want to tell you, this is a serious but not too serious story'. It's a slow burn romance. The relationship between the MC and the male lead at first will be more like brother, or like a senpai and his junior. But you will enjoy their sweet relationship growth. In the beginning chapter I write in the first POV, but later also write in the third POV. Last, Please encourage me to keep writing by adding this story into your collection! I OWN THE COVER. IT IS COMMISIONED
[Reifer Inhalt] Der Körper einer Meerjungfrau ist ein wahres Schatzkästchen. Ihre Tränen bilden die prächtigsten Perlen, ihr köstliches Blut ist eine euphorisierende Droge für Vampire, ihr üppiges Haar wird zu feinster Seide gewebt und ihr zartes Fleisch ist bei Werwölfen begehrter als das Ambrosia des Himmels. Die Kreaturen der Nacht mischten sich in die menschliche Gesellschaft, schöpften aus der Wolle der Aristokratie, verhüllten ihre vorgetäuschte Unschuld und ihren Adel, und ihre Grausamkeit machte sich weiterhin über die Schwachen und Machtlosen her. Genevieve Barlow, kurz Eve, war eine außergewöhnlich seltsame junge Frau. Sie hatte ein verführerisches und betörendes Wesen, wobei sich ihr vierundzwanzigjähriges Ich seit ihrem achtzehnten Geburtstag äußerlich kaum verändert hatte. Sie hatte die Verwaltung getäuscht und einen Abschluss gemacht, um ein besseres Leben führen zu können. Das Merkwürdigste von allem war, dass Eve ein Geheimnis hatte, das sie mit niemandem teilte. Sie betritt das Haus von Moriarty, nicht nur um Geld zu verdienen, sondern auch um Antworten auf das zu finden, was ihrer Mutter vor fast zwei Jahrzehnten zugestoßen ist. Leider verlaufen die Dinge nicht immer so, wie man sie geplant hat. Trotz ihres vorsichtigen Wesens und ihres Wunsches, nicht gesehen zu werden, fällt ein kaltes Augenpaar auf sie, das sich bald weigert, sie aus den Augen zu lassen.
Lady Celestia de Rochefort has always been known as the "villainess" of high society, with her sharp wit, piercing gaze, and a cold heart—or so everyone believes. But, contrary to the rumors, Celestia has no interest in the twisted schemes people assume she’s plotting. In fact, she's far more interested in her library, her afternoon tea, and most importantly, not getting married to the kingdom's prince, who is as charming as he is insufferably dull. When a royal decree announces her engagement to Prince Adrian, Celestia is horrified. She has no desire to play the part of a royal bride, let alone to someone she’s sure will drive her insane with his polite smiles and royal manners. Determined to escape her fate, Celestia enlists the help of her mischievous best friend, Hugo, who suggests a series of hilarious and increasingly outrageous schemes to break the engagement. But things don’t go as planned: every scheme Celestia tries to escape the engagement ends up making her look more charming in Adrian’s eyes. And as he becomes more curious about this fiery, enigmatic "villainess," Celestia starts seeing sides of the prince that surprise her—and maybe, just maybe, begin to melt her icy heart.

Une brise a glissé, agitant la lumière du soleil qui scintillait à travers le feuillage automnal au-dessus de nous, et une pluie d'or est tombée sur ses épaules. "Dis que tu me veux", a-t-il murmuré. "Bai Ye—" j'ai respiré, mais le reste de mes mots a été remplacé par des gémissements dès qu'il a tracé ses baisers le long de mon cou et a pris mon lobe d'oreille dans sa bouche. Des frissons familiers ont déferlé en moi alors qu'il mordillait et suçait doucement. Sa main a glissé jusqu'à ma poitrine, et il jouait avec mes sensations avec ses lèvres, sa langue et ses doigts jusqu'à ce que mes bras tremblent autour de lui. Toutes les autres pensées ont disparu de mon esprit. La seule chose que je savais, c'était l'irrésistible sensation de lui sur moi, si intense que mes genoux ont commencé à faiblir. Je serais tombée s'il ne m'avait pas plaquée fermement contre l'arbre. "Bai Ye…" j'ai encore gémi, griffant ses vêtements. "Bien sûr que je te veux… Ici et maintenant." Il a lâché un doux souffle de rire, et sa main a frôlé, saisissant les plis de ma robe. D'un geste sûr, il les a déchirés.
When the beautiful Queen of the Aritish Kingdom fell from grace, no one lend her a hand. The whole Kingdom shunned her. She was used and betrayed by her husband. She was forced to watch the massacre of her whole family with her own eyes. She was forced to commit suicide. The moment she drank a cup of poisoned wine bestowed to her by the man she used to love with all her heart, she made a vow.

Now, she was determined to prevent the tragedy. Destroying all the people who wronged her in her past life became her only goal! To achieve that, she completely changed herself.

In no time, she became the most famous and powerful General of the Aritish Kingdom! She was known as a cruel and emotionless General until... a powerful yet mischievous Crown Prince entered her life. He was never in her plan and it was why she called him the side-effect of her unexpected second chance!

Please don't read. Major editing in progress, especially the chapters after 148. ........................ It is the year of the moon, the year when all the alphas around the world gather at Aranill to compete for the throne of the Alpha King. It is said that one who takes over the throne can change his destiny and even seek the power of the moon which nobody else can even gain access to.

It is then that he meets Aylin Ediar, the only female general in the royal army and Azimir finds himself attracted to her. But in his pursuit of the throne as well as Aylin, Azimir gets pulled into a conspiracy so brutal that completely shatters all other truths. Azimir not only has to save himself from the conspiracy, he even has to save his loved ones from losing their lives. And the only person who supports and trusts him is Aylin. Now, what is the forbidden truth about the throne that links to the conspiracy, and who is behind it? And why does Aylin refuse to accept her feelings for him? One truth, countless lies, one secret, and a throne that can change destiny. The one who solves it gains the power of the moon. Join Azimir to find out his destiny in his pursuit of the throne as well as what his heart desires the most, Aylin. --------------------------------------------------------------- "Aylin," Azimir breathed as he caressed the girl's cheek before pulling her to him. "Why do you deny your feelings, dear?" "Because I do not have any feelings for you." "Are you sure, dear?" Aylin stayed silent, not knowing how to respond to him. "Why does your heart say otherwise? I can hear it, you can hear it. Why are you ignoring what your heart is whispering to you?" Azimir probed and pulled her close until his breath fell on her lips. "Even if you ignore your feelings, I will not allow you to. You are mine as I am yours and it will be this way forever." The cover picture does not belong to me.
