CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING Started: May 22, 2020 I was born in this world having the sex organ of a man. So basically, I'm a man. However, I could get pregnant, too, like female species. Why? Oh, it's because I'm an Omega, specifically a recessive one. That is my second gender. I've never felt troubled with my second gender before like other omegas. I've been in such a protective and loving family. My mother always sheltered me with a lot of loving and care. My father was always there to protect and guide me. I also have two incredible older brothers. They're twins, yet they watch and love me in their own way. I also have my reliable beta best friend. He's my partner in crime, and I'm so thankful to him. Like I'd said, I never felt troubled about my second gender, but that was before I've met my 'fated mate'. The person who was sent by God to love me. And... my fated mate was really unexpected. Because even before I found out that he's my mate... he's already part of my life.

The story starts in the busy city of Hong Kong, where Ruth Lee is leading a life of privilege, replete with all the luxuries and protection provided by her powerful Mafia family. She suspects something is wrong, but the truth comes crashing down when, after a family argument, Ruth wakes up to a house full of dead servants and her family nowhere to be found. Scared and desperate at first, Ruth finds, behind a hidden safe left by her father, an address in Seoul, South Korea; a credit card; and papers so she could travel. She finally settled in South Korea out of necessity in search of her answers. On landing, it is Frank Xia, a very-feared Mafia lord previously associated with the mafia family. Frank, owing to old debts to her father, agrees to help Ruth find her family-but only if she proves capable of surviving the brutal world of the Mafia. As Ruth trains with Frank and his crew, she learns about her secret Mafia lineage and all the power dynamics that come with it. It is a tough, grueling training that pushes her to her limits, but slowly, Ruth morphs from pampered princess into Mafia heiress. The complication in their mission would be the budding attraction between Ruth and Frank, and as their feelings for each other deepen, so does their determination to find her family-and to unmask the formidable foes against them. On her way, Ruth faces betrayal, dark secrets, and surprising alliances. Now she's supposed to learn her way with a world she never understood, and the dark legacy of her family. Tension between her and Frank heightens while running life-threatening missions, and a passionate romance blooms in the midst of chaos. But the road to the future is filled with perils, as Ruth's uncle, a powerful Mafia baron with a deep-seated grudge against her family, seeks to destroy everything they've built.

Nach fünf Jahren kehrte Ning Xi an den Ort zurück, der sie weggestoßen hatte - nach Hause. Mit einer Schwester, die ihre Eltern gegen sie aufbrachte und ihre Jugendliebe dazu brachte, sie zu betrügen, schienen die Chancen schlecht zu stehen. Doch fünf Jahre im Ausland hatten sie verändert, und sie kam nach Hause, um sich ihren Kindheitstraum zu erfüllen: Schauspielerin zu werden. Obwohl ihre böse Schwester immer noch hinter ihr her ist, wird sich der Spieß umdrehen. Eines Tages, nachdem sie auf einen Plan ihrer Schwester hereingefallen ist, rettet sie einen reizenden Jungen und wohnt bei ihm zu Hause, um ihm zu helfen, aus seinem Schneckenhaus herauszukommen. Langsam begann sein Vater Lu Tingxiao, sich in sie zu verlieben. Das war, bevor sie merkten, wie ihre Leben die ganze Zeit über ohne ihr Wissen miteinander verflochten waren.

Rejected. Shattered. Desired by two. Torn between fate and freedom. I was supposed to be his. From the moment I was born, the bond between us had been written in the stars. Alpha Prince Cedric—my fated mate, my destiny, the one who was meant to cherish and protect me. But under the glow of the full moon, surrounded by the expectant eyes of the entire kingdom, he looked at me with nothing but disgust. "I, Cedric Nightbane, reject you as my mate." The words felt like a blade to my soul, severing something deep inside me. My body trembled, my Omega instincts screamed for me to submit, to plead for his love. But I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t beg for someone who never wanted me. So I ran. I ran from the whispers, the shame, the pain tearing me apart from the inside. I ran until my legs gave out, until I had nothing left—only to stumble into the hands of Dante Nightbane, the Tyrant King of the Shadowfang Empire. Where Cedric’s touch had been cold, Dante’s was searing. Where Cedric’s rejection had left me empty, Dante’s possessive gaze made something deep inside me burn. And when he inhaled my scent, something dark and unbreakable snapped into place. “Your mate was a fool to let you go, little Omega. But I am not.” Now, I am trapped in the arms of a monster—a ruthless, merciless Alpha who refuses to let me escape. He is nothing like the mate I once longed for. He is sharper, crueller… and yet, when I am near him, my body betrays me, drawn to the fire that burns in his touch. But there are secrets hidden in my blood, whispers of a lost royal lineage and a power that could change the world. Power that two Alphas are willing to go to war over. The mate who threw me away now fights to take me back. The tyrant who claimed me would destroy the world to keep me. But I am done being a prize for men to fight over. If fate dares to decide my path, then I will carve my own. And when I do—not even the strongest Alpha alive will be able to contain me.

"Who am I?" The question hits me like a frying pan to the face as I wake up in a dimly lit shed that reeks of mildew and regret. My memory? Wiped cleaner than a crime scene. My composure? Currently MIA. Replacing it? A delightful cocktail of terror and existential dread, shaken, not stirred. The shed is a Pinterest fail of nightmares: blood dripping from the ceiling (artsy, really), creepy symbols etched into the walls (probably cursed), and a general vibe that screams you’re not supposed to be here. And let’s not forget the cherry on top—the suffocating feeling of being watched. Lovely. Every instinct I have is shouting, Get out now! But where exactly am I supposed to go? The walls are practically breathing, humming like they know all my secrets, which is impressive considering I don’t even know them myself. No name, no memories, no idea what fresh hell this is—just me, my rising panic, and the unsettling realization that survival might not even be the point. But hey, when the alternative is becoming wall graffiti for a haunted shed, I guess I don’t have much of a choice. ps: Will be posting this story on Royal Road
