Junko Posing

A dance with the pentarch kings.

In a world where beasts rarely crave their own gender, Blazar's disguise as a boy is both her shield and her greatest gamble. Her scent betrays her—an intoxicating lure that would send any beast-blooded king into a frenzy to claim her. The disguise makes them hesitate, their instincts confused by the male facade over the irresistible female scent beneath. Every breath risks her discovery. Every moment is a gamble. Born a nobody. Sold into slavery. Bought by a king. Raised as a weapon. Her orders are simple: infiltrate Royal Imperium Prestigia High, pose as noble boy Orion Spade from a broken line, and assassinate the most powerful king. Succeed, and she lives. Fail, and she dies. Prestigia is an academy where monsters are crowned—and innocents devoured. Ruled by the Havoc Five: Dante the werewolf supreme alpha, Kaelric the apex of humanity, Vesper the vampire overlord, Xeari the werecat king, and Ryuzaki the celestial kitsune. Each lethal in their own way. Thousands of nobles would kill to kneel at their feet. For most girls, this is paradise. For Blazar? A nightmare. Her defiance doesn't go unnoticed. She attracts the attention of all five. The kings circle her—some to protect, some to break her, others wanting more. She runs. She tries to deny. But the longer she resists, the more entangled she becomes. To survive, she must outwit them all while hiding her true gender, her slave mark, the deadly secret of her bloodline, and escape the king who owns her. Blazar Staray won't play their games. And she certainly doesn't kneel. But the real question is—can she resist the hunger they woke in her? °~Excerpt~° "I don't understand," she whispered, her voice shaking. "I haven't done anything. I don't know what's happening." Kaelric stepped forward, his expression cold and calculating. "That's exactly what someone using seduction magic would say." His ice-blue eyes bore into hers with such intensity that she felt like he could see straight through to her soul. "The question is, what kind of magic are you using, and who sent you here?" "I'm not using any magic!" Blazar protested, her voice rising with desperation. "I don't even know what you're talking about!" But even as she said the words, she could feel the weight of their stares on her. Something was definitely wrong, and somehow, she was at the center of it all. The one thing they all seemed to want but couldn't quite understand why.

A Curse (The Love Story) GL

A CURSE — A tale of secrets, love, betrayal, and destiny. Stories — many have heard them, read them, even lived them. But this… this is a tale unheard. A tale woven with shadows, secrets, and half-truths — where reality blurs and deception dances in plain sight. A tale from a world unlike any other: the enchanted realm of Seven Fairylands. 1. Frosthevan 2. Blushing Beauty Land 3. Sunflower Land 4. Crimson Cove 5. Skyland 6. Iceland 7. Lunaria Noir At first glance, a realm of beauty and magic. But behind its royal grace lie stains of blood and betrayal. In the heart of this world is Celeste, a pure and innocent fairy destined to become the Queen of Frosthevan. Unaware of the treachery surrounding her, she is ensnared in a grand conspiracy. And at the center of it all — Caelum, a mysterious soul who poses as a pixie, but is truly a fairy, burning with a hunger for power and control over the Fairylands. While Caelum chases a force that could make her invincible, her lies catch the eye of the wise Mother Fairy. But instead of punishing Caelum, the Mother curses Celeste — to protect the realm from what she sees as an impending doom. Betrayed, cursed, and torn between love and truth, Celeste rises in rebellion. She chooses love over fate — and steps into the human world in search of Caelum. But what is the secret only Caelum and the Mother Fairy know? Is Caelum truly the villain? Or is there another hidden truth waiting to be uncovered? A curse. A love story born in the shadows. A journey across worlds. Celeste must uncover the buried truths of the Fairylands — secrets that could shatter everything. Will her innocence survive the truth? Will she ever find the real Caelum — or only more lies? “A Curse” promises to keep you questioning until the very last chapter — How many secrets can one soul carry? Who’s truly right… and who’s devastatingly wrong?

Strongest Gangster System

The city of Stockham, thirty miles north of London, was a hotspot for business activity. To those outside of the city, they only saw the legitimate importation and finance companies that posed as the forefront of the city's business sector, but those deep in the system knew that this was only a front. Behind the legitimate businesses and fake economic stability was a ruthless world of gangsters and mobs run by three families that had existed since the city was first founded: the Lucas, the Bellegrini, and the Romanov. These three families ran the city's underworld, and in this twisted world that stood on a foundation of blood, drugs, and bullets, you would need to be both ruthless and cunning in order to survive. .... Dante Lucas was the head of the Lucas armed forces, known only as the Cleaners. He was a ruthless man who was both praised and feared by the members of the Stockham underworld for his terrifying efficiency and undeniable skill. Dante believed that he would spend the rest of his life as nothing but a Cleaner—responsible for erasing enemies and ensuring the Lucas family's power remained intact—and he was more than happy to play this role till the day he died. But Dante's life took a sudden turn when the boss of the Lucas family, George Lucas, died unexpectedly. And rather than passing on his immense fortune to his firstborn son, as was the tradition in the family, the boss passed it to Dante instead. Now, Dante was stuck in a world filled with enemies both outside and inside the family, and he would have to use all of his abilities to protect the lives of his family members while also trying his best to grow the Lucas family to the strength they once possessed.

This time, however, Dorian has a secret. He doesn't care for politics, nor for the war-thirsty nobles that circle like vultures. He only wants her—Kaelira, the sixth bride. But Kaelira isn't who she seems. A commoner posing as a noble, she's been trained since childhood to infiltrate the palace and assassinate the High Lord. Her people have lived in the shadows, suffering under vampire rule, and she’s their last hope. She’s meant to kill him on their wedding night and disappear into legend. What Kaelira never expected was to find herself drawn to Dorian- his kindness, his loneliness, his terrifying beauty… and the way he looks at her as if he’s known her forever. Because he has. Centuries ago, Kaelira lived another life as the mortal woman who betrayed Dorian and sparked a civil war that nearly destroyed the vampire race. Reborn with no memory of who she once was, she now finds herself caught in a deadly tangle of past and present, love and vengeance. But the seventh bride is arriving and she’s not a pawn. She’s a weapon. As betrayal brews and ancient prophecies awaken, Kaelira must make an impossible choice: fulfill her mission and kill the only man who’s ever truly loved her, or protect him, and watch the world burn.

THE HUNTER .

He doesn't chase. But when he looks at you- You run. Or you fall. There's no in-between. And she? She fell. Hard. Fast. Wrong. Because this isn't romance. It's war. A war between peace and the storm that wears a man's face. Where secrets are bullets, the battlefield is a bed, And the only rule is: Don't ask what he's hiding. But secrets don't stay buried- Not when they whisper your name like sin. Not when they leave bruises and paint your soul in portraits you don't remember posing for. She thinks she's smart. She thinks she knows danger. But the truth? Danger saw her first. Years ago. And it never looked away. --- > "You shouldn't fall in love with strangers."

MONSTER HOUSE: MY MONSTROUSITY FAMILY

NOTE: IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO GORE STORIES PLEASE, DON'T READ: In the beast-world of Burmurlerk, Queen Yrmeta, a powerful, dragon-like monarch blessed with primal elemental magic, once ruled in peace. But her reign shattered when members of her own court, nobles, governors, even distant kin, accused her of consorting with the forbidden forces of the Ancienty Seven of Deadly Beings, ancient entities tied to corruption and apocalyptic power. Betrayed from within, war erupted. Yrmeta’s realm burned. Many of her bloodline, cousins, nieces, nephews, siblings, and older children, were killed. With her kingdom crumbling, she fled through a rift to Earth with only her husband Lord Velkan, her sister Aunt Tyrraline, and four of her surviving children (ages 25, 23, 21, and 19). On Earth, Yrmeta entered a conscious stasis, a living crystal cocoon, to heal. During her slumber, she magically bore eleven more children, all gifted, monstrous, or strange. Among them is the youngest: Elian, now 14 years old, seemingly human, but only Tyrraline and Velkan know the truth of his origins. The family, now living undercover in the human world, poses as eccentric and homeschooled while navigating schools, jobs, and the modern world. Aunt Tyrraline acts as the sharp-tongued matriarch, enforcing secrecy and stability within the chaos of their monstrous household. Yrmeta, even in slumber, can communicate telepathically, but only with Elian. Despite appearing fully human, Elian is loved deeply by his siblings. He alone can hear their mother’s voice in dreams, where cryptic warnings and impossible memories hint at a deeper destiny, one possibly tied to The Seventh, an unnamed and sealed entity from the Ancienty. While the family tries to live peacefully, strange phenomena escalate. Elian’s dreams grow darker. A new substitute teacher, Mr. Cane, appears with unnatural timing and eerie knowledge. His gaze pierces Elian’s disguise. And then, nightmares begin manifesting physically. Behind the veil of human life, Yrmeta’s enemies, and the true power of the Ancienty Seven, begin to stir again. And Elian, whether he likes it or not, may be the key that unlocks both the past’s truth and the future’s destruction.

The Mafia’s Favorite Threat

EXCERPT: “How did you get past the guards and track me to my private residence?” Lucien asked Meret. “A magician never reveals her secrets.” “You’re not a magician. You’re a thief.” “That’s a bit rude.” She raised a brow. “I’m sure there are friendlier synonyms. Like…‘unauthorized relocation specialist’?” “Thief.” he repeated, deadpan. ****************** She stole from him but He doesn’t want the art back… he wants her. ~~ Meret Quinn is a professional thief, known for vanishing without a trace and never leaving behind more than a calling card that nobody has ever managed to trace.

But her latest job puts her on the radar of Lucien Moretti, a mafia billionaire with a taste for control and a reputation for never letting anyone get away with crossing him. He was supposed to make her disappear. Instead, he took something she actually cared about — her dog, Cray Cray. A secret no one was ever supposed to know. Now, if she wants him back, she has to play his game. One house. One lie. One string of impossible missions designed to flush out his enemies. And one condition she never expected: she has to pose as his fiancée until the job is done. She hates every second. He enjoys every minute. But pretending to be wanted by a man like him starts to blur lines — especially when he whispers things in her ear… and means them. Neither of them is used to losing. But obsession doesn’t play fair. CONTENT WARNING: This story is strongly 18+. It delves into dark romance themes such as obsession, control, lust, and manipulation, with morally complex characters navigating dangerous desires.
