Douluo Dalu: Sacred

Sacred Flame: His Enemy, His Mate (BL)

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] I yanked my wrist, trying to pull free, but his grip didn’t budge. “Let me go,” I cried, surprised by how weak I sounded but for goodness sake, this is an elementary school restroom hallway, meaning anyone might walk in at any moment. “No.” He leaned in, his breath warm against the side of my neck. My skin prickled as my toes curled, I hated how my body reacted without my permission. “You’re mine,” he whispered, “Every part of you, your fear, your silence, even that defiance you’re clinging to. It’s all mine. And I’m not about to let anyone else touch or have what belongs to me. Not the world, not even yourself.” **** Kain Locke would never forget that face, the face of the man who smiled as he pulled the trigger, murdering his parents right in front of him. That moment scarred him for life, carving a hatred so deep it kept him alive. That man was Caspian Draeven, a ruthless Alpha who ruled the underworld with fear and bloodshed and as if that wasn't enough, he took Kain too, raising him in his empire of chaos. But Kain wasn’t broken as they expected him, rather, he was burning. Burning with hatred for the man who destroyed his world and he swear to get his revenge. However, Caspian wasn’t the only monster in the Draeven family. His son, Kael Draeven, was just as dangerous, cold, brutal, and utterly loyal to his father which makes Kain hated Kael just as much, if not more. For years, Kain planned his escape, waiting for the perfect moment so he can leave to prepare for his revenge. However when he finally ran, he thought he’d won his freedom. But the unexpected happens when Kael was sent to bring him back, and their confrontation took an unplanned turn. A single night left Kain with a secret he never saw coming and a bond he couldn’t forget, no matter how much he wanted to. But secrets have a way of coming to light, and Kain’s path will lead him straight back to the man he swore to hate forever. Because some bonds can’t be broken. Not even by revenge. ______________________________________ H_Hannie THIS BOOK IS A BL: MEANING IT FOCUSES ON ROMANCE BETWEEN THE SAME GENDER. kindly skip if this type of genre isn't your cup of tea.

Whispers of the sacred grove

Whispers of the Sacred Grove is a mystical, sensual, and emotionally charged novel that follows Mannn, a grieving wanderer, as he is drawn to a sacred grove in an ancient Indian village, guided by a haunting dream of a divine woman’s voice. Reeling from the death of his first love, Lila, Mannn arrives clutching her locket, his heart torn between memory and a mysterious pull toward the grove’s ethereal beauty. The villagers warn that the grove “claims those who love too deeply,” setting the stage for a journey of spiritual awakening, divine encounters, and profound sacrifice. As Mannn explores the grove, he encounters visions of a radiant woman—both goddess and enigma—whose presence ignites a sacred desire that challenges his loyalty to Lila’s memory. Through dreams of Krishna and Shiva, whispers in Sanskrit, and unstruck temple bells, the grove reveals its power, blurring the lines between reality and divinity. Ancient carvings, lotus petals, and a cursed priestess’s tale unravel a cosmic connection: the divine woman is a bound soul, and Mannn, foretold as her soulmate, holds the key to her liberation. Each chapter deepens Mannn’s struggle with longing, guilt, and unworthiness, as villagers grow wary of his obsession and his past threatens to consume him. The grove tests his heart through rituals, firewalks, and monsoons, culminating in a heartrending choice: to join the divine woman in eternal union or free her at the cost of his dreams. Mannn’s selfless act breaks her curse, revealing her as an incarnation of Lila and a test of his soul’s purity. Though she fades into light, her gift—a vision of Lila—leaves Mannn healed but forever marked. Years later, Mannn tends the grove as a sage, his love story woven into its whispers. After his death, a poet hears the grove’s call, finding Mannn’s rudraksha bead and beginning the cycle anew. Spanning centuries, the novel explores themes of love’s transcendence, the interplay of human and divine, and the eternal dance of loss and redemption, all set against the lush, mystical backdrop of the sacred grove.
