When Destiny Desires

Zi Haoran, a man of formidable ambition and pride, finds himself at the crossroads of destiny. Once a towering figure of power and prestige, he now faces the crumbling remnants of his empire, his love, and his identity. The love of his life, Han Xue whose heart was once tender, is now shielded by indifference, hardened by the wounds of their fractured marriage and his mistakes. Yet, just as the darkness threatens to consume him, destiny offers him an unexpected opportunity—not as mercy, but as a challenge. This time, Zi Haoran is not only fighting for his wife’s love. He’s reclaiming his throne, his honor, and vengeance against those who conspired against him. As newfound strength surges within him, powers he never imagined begin to awaken, reshaping him into a man even he cannot recognize. As Zi Haoran embraces this path, his every step seems guided by an uncanny certainty, his power growing sharper and his charisma more irresistible. With each encounter, Han Xue finds it harder to ignore the man who now stands before her—charming, persistent, and surprisingly vulnerable. --------------------- Zi Haoran stepped into the living room just as Han Xue tried to leave. His hand shot out, catching her wrist gently but firmly. She turned to glare at him. “Why now, Zi Haoran?” she demanded, her voice sharp. “Why try to fix what you shattered?” He pulled her closer, his gaze steady. “Because,” he said softly, “some things are worth breaking myself to rebuild.” Before she could respond, he tugged her down onto his lap, his arms circling her securely. She gasped, her eyes widening as she struggled against him. “Let me go!” “Not until you hear me out,” he said firmly, his teasing grin softening his words. “Why do you keep trying?” she asked, her voice exasperated as she pushed at his chest. “Because you’re worth it,” he replied, his confidence maddening. “And, let’s face it, you’ve missed me.” Her cheeks flushed as she shoved harder. “You’re delusional.” “Maybe,” he murmured, leaning closer, his breath brushing her cheek, “but you didn’t say I was wrong.” Flustered, she finally broke free, stepping back as she glared at him. “You’re wasting your time. I don’t feel the same anymore,” she snapped. Without warning, he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek, his voice low and playful as he stepped back. “You’ll feel again. You’ll see… I’ve only just begun.” Her hand flew to her cheek, her eyes blazing with confusion and anger. She turned abruptly and fled the room, leaving Zi Haoran standing there, his smirk fading as he watched her retreat, bewildered by the turmoil he’d stirred. ---------------------- What confounds her most is not just his persistence, but the fire in his eyes—something deeper, as if he knows more than he should, perhaps even the secrets hidden in time itself. As Han Xue struggles to reconcile this transformed man with the one she once knew, the world shifts around them. His newfound powers, coupled with his sharp mind and commanding presence, turn him into a man of unparalleled strength. Every step he takes to win her heart back is also a step toward reclaiming the world he let slip through his fingers. With destiny pulling the strings, will Han Xue’s resistance hold, or will her resolve melt before the man she once loved—and the one he is becoming? One thing is certain: destiny desires nothing less than complete metamorphosis, for love, power, and vengeance.

Tangled Hearts

As both of them stood leaning against the cold railing of the balcony, silence reigned upon them. It held different meanings for either. She usually preferred the silence. It brought calmness to her mind, a sense of sanity. But this one? It was maddening. It let a storm of thoughts enter her mind. Images of what could've happened; of what could still happen flashed across her inner eye. It terrorised her. Haunted her, letting a sole drop of tear run down her cheek. She wiped it away immediately. Even though he looked straight ahead in the distance at the night sky hovering over the city lights, with a side glance he noticed it. She was trying to hide her tears. On other occasions, he would do anything for her to shut up but right then, he wanted her to say anything. Anything at all. A word, at least. The silence stretched infinitely, tension in the air becoming thicker and thicker with each passing second. He opened his mouth to speak, but was pushed away when her fists collided against his hard chest. "Don't. Don't say a single word. There's nothing you can say to make me feel better!" She sobbed loudly. "Did you hear what the doctors said? Didn't you?!" Her fists pounded against his chest but it didn't even make him flinch. He caught her arms in mid-air and shook her, hoping that would send some sense into her, "Calm down!" He said, "We're in a hospital! And you cannot blame me for what happened." He added but somewhere deep down he knew, he was to be blamed for what catastrophe had happened that night. "Get out! I don't want to see your face and I don't want you to be anywhere near him!" She announced, tearing her gaze away from him while gritting her teeth in anger. She expected an apology from him but only received a rude reply. "I don't want to see your face either!" He confessed and stormed out of the room.

True Alpha's Chosen Mate

[COMPLETED] Rinnie Everfell had always dreamed of going beyond the castle wall. The day that dream came true was also the day everyone she held dear died in the hands of the rebels. Bound by a promise to survive, she ran for her life, only to encounter a naked man deep in the woods. Out of desperation, Rinnie asked for his help and found herself agreeing to the reward he wanted, HER. Excerpt: “Rinnie,” he called with his warm baritone voice and placed his palm against the door to stop me from leaving. “You are a werewolf and your destined mate for life will be chosen by fate,” I whispered as I turned around to face him. “It was said that once you find your true mate, it was by instinct, by the maddening desires, by nature, telling you that was the mate you will love passionately for life.” “I am not that mate, Hugo,” I stressed my claim adamantly. “Rejecting your mate also means rejecting your destiny.” SLAM! His pair of crimson eyes glowed menacingly as he slammed his palm against the door. I fought the fear that instantly crept into my heart. “Destiny? Fate?” My back fused against the door as he bent over until his face was a palm length away from mine. “And who is this Destiny Fate to decide for me?” “Hugo—” “I decide for myself, Rinnie.” He seethed as his fangs let themselves known. “If I say you are my one true mate, then you are my one true mate. If this world disagrees, then let it be damned.” Little did Rinnie know, dealing with the devious, narcissistic, and a walking red flag Alpha, who was bold enough to go against his fate, would be the least of her concerns. With people after her, the secret of her identity, and the rotting truth of her "perfect life" slowly unveiling its covers, Rinnie must find a way to survive the vicious world of werewolves and vampires.

HIS MATE, HIS POSSESSION

Their homes had been destroyed, her families killed. Everywhere and everything had been burned down to ashes. And worst of all, they've been taken captive. Elsa's life had crumbled down in one swift moment. She was the only survivor left among her family. Along with other survivors, The Cyprus Park took them all to their domain where they intend to work them to the bone. Elsa being a human, didn't have time to moan her family. She couldn't tell either, where the sweet, masculine scent that was invading her nostrils was coming from. Lucan was the greatest, brutal and most handsome Alpha of the Cyprus Park. Thinking that the moon goddess is punishing him for his brutality and not giving him a mate. His hardened heart seize to soften. And finally He got a wiff of a scent. One he hadn't smelled before and one who drove him crazy. Who has this smell? His Mate? He wasn't too happy when he found out it was his captive, a maid. Extract: Lucan was ready to go down to the gathering, all set and ready to go,with Lewis by side. He left his bedroom and began walking down the hallway towards the stairs. "I hope," Lewis began, "Your mate will be at the party tonight" he said tentatively studying the ALPHA'S mood before talking. "Uhmn" Lucan answered, whenever he started a conversation with 'Uhmn' it meant he want it to go no further but Lewis was adamant. "Oh goddess of Cyprus, do provide our Alpha with the most beautiful maiden that one has ever come across.Our Luna must be a strong She wolf like our Alpha"Lewis prayed loudly. "The messenger has he arrived?" Lucan said nonchalantly like he hadn't had the prayer Lewis just made. "Any minutes from now he will be here" Lewis answered. As Lucan walk down the stairs with Lewis, his Wolf sprang up at instance. The scent, our Mate, beautiful, sweet scent filled his nostrils. She must be somewhere along this part, He thought as he walked down the steps. The scent grew more heavenly and he looked around to see who it May be. Then he saw her. The Maid, his Mate, She was standing close to the bottom of the staircase, holding a tray filled with glasses of wine at her front. Her short, tiny maid outfit that sent her pretty legs on display was maddening and he became furious. He walked faster down the stairs, and as he got nearer, he stared at her small frame, long slim neck which was cascaded by few strands of hair plastered to her neck with sweat. Her hair, tied up in a bun on her head, gave away the view of her delicious neck which he wanted to grab closer and sink his fangs into them. But that would only frighten her to the core. She turned around at the last minute and bumbed into him. Spilling wine all over his expensive robe. As soon as she looked up and saw it was him, her eyes grew wide and She screamed and got on her knees. The only thing Lucan could think about was her marvelous scents which took all over him, and his Wolf kept dancing and with outermost joy. As much as he wanted to grab her to himself, he kept his cool and looked away from her. "My Lord! I'm......I'm sorry......" She stammered. "Mate" Was the only word Lucan could muster. "What?!" Lewis, said. The party was already In a chaos. A maid had spilled drink on the ALPHA'S robe. The maids had all gathered, shivering. All waiting for the booming of the Alpha's voice for the unfortunate to be beheaded. Lady Monica came spluttering towards them. A mixture of anger, fear and anxiety boldly written on her face. "I'm sorry my Lord, she's just a new maid and she's still wet behind the ears, kindly let me punish her. We are truly sorry" Lady Monica stuttered, then bowed deeply. Lucan stared at the faces staring at him. This was his mate, as much as he wanted to claim her, he needed to keep this within him for now. Turning towards Lewis, who was also anxiously waiting for his decision, he stated blankly. "Cancel the party. I've found what I'm looking for"
