Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and became celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her.

The Duke And His Desire

Raphael Emberlin, the Duke of Barrington, and his maid, Natalie Scott, are kidnapped while on a journey. After escaping their captors, they find themselves in a strange, unfamiliar land far from home. Everything around them is different, from the language to the people, and they must find their way back, all while learning to navigate the challenges of being stuck with each other. Raphael, used to being in control, struggles to trust anyone, especially Natalie. However, as they travel together, he begins to see her in a new light—her strength, courage, and ability to handle tough situations. On the other hand, Natalie has to deal with Raphael’s arrogance and pride, but she also notices his vulnerability and starts to understand him better. As they journey through this unknown world, their relationship starts to change. What began as a forced partnership slowly grows into something deeper. They each discover new strengths within themselves and each other. By the time they finally return home, they are left wondering whether they can go back to their old lives or if the journey has changed them forever. *****Excerpt**** "Are you mad?" she exclaimed, her eyes wide as she stared at him. "What do you think you’re doing?" Raphael narrowed his eyes, his jaw tightening. "Don’t speak to me like that again." "And if I do?" she shot back, her voice laced with defiance. "Have you lost your wits? You are speaking to your Duke. No matter the situation, I am still your lord. You will speak to me with respect. Do you understand?" Natalie studied him for a long moment, her gaze unwavering, before a sharp laugh escaped her lips. Raphael’s face darkened, his fists clenched at his sides, ready to strike. "Oh, that was a good one," she said, her voice dripping with mockery. "Keep thinking with that brain of yours, and you’ll get us both killed." "You will regret this when we reach the estate," Raphael growled, his voice low, dangerous. "If we make it to the estate. We won’t get very far if you keep using that foolish brain of yours. Why on earth would you announce to everyone that you’re a duke? What if we get kidnapped again?" "Did you just call my brain foolish?" Raphael's voice rose, his patience fraying. "Yes," she replied, unflinching. "What are you going to do about it?" "You’ll beg for mercy when we return, I'll make sure of it." he warned, his words cold. "You will regret your actions. You will be relieved of your duties and sent back to the slums where you belong." "That’s unnecessary," she muttered, a bitter edge to her voice. "I quit. I’d rather die than spend another moment in your presence. I hope you know how to brew tea because I am no longer your maid, Raph." Raphael’s eyes widened, his face a mask of fury. "What did you call me?" "Raph," she said simply, her lips curling into a smirk. "What are you going to do about it?" Raphael froze, his entire body tense, as though he were about to strike her. But then, with a visible effort, he turned away and sat near the fire, his fists unclenching. Natalie smirked, watching him closely. "Yeah, that’s what I thought. Here, you are nothing. So the sooner you drop that arrogance, the better for you."

dominion of the monstrous

### **Synopsis:** **Title: "Dominion of the Monstrous"** Dominic never believed in monsters—not the way the old tales spoke of them. But everything changes when his father, in his final moments, reveals a chilling secret: Dominic possesses a rare gift—the ability to control the very monsters that have haunted humanity for centuries. After his father's death, Dominic is thrust into a world of danger and uncertainty. A massive, deadly beast, whom he names Nightshade, begins following him, obeying his commands with eerie loyalty. But as the creatures around him grow more aggressive, Dominic discovers the deeper truth of his lineage: he's the last of an ancient bloodline capable of controlling these beings, and his power runs deeper than he can imagine. As he struggles to understand his newfound abilities, Dominic finds himself torn between using this power for good or succumbing to the dark forces that seek to use him as their weapon. When his father mysteriously returns—not as the man Dominic remembers, but as something twisted by the very creatures he controlled—Dominic is forced to confront the truth about his family's legacy and the monsters that are drawn to him. Now, with enemies closing in and monsters lurking at every corner, Dominic must master his gift before it consumes him, or he risks becoming the very thing he fears. But the line between control and destruction is razor-thin, and the fate of both humanity and the monstrous world rests on his shoulders. **"Dominion of the Monstrous"** is a tale of power, legacy, and the cost of control, set against a world where the line between monster and man is not as clear as it seems. Can Dominic survive the power within him, or will the monsters inside and out claim him forever?

My Dear Duke(BL)

On his 20th birthday, Asher's mother confessed something he never expected. After the truth was revealed, she died giving her last blessing to him. That's when Asher found himself all alone, confused about his own identity and worrying about his future. What did she say? -He was someone special? -Someone people would come after? She said he was coming from a very rare but also a very special race called omega where men could get pregnant. Was it real? At first, Asher strictly refused to accept his mother's confession. But in the end, he had to believe it. Because it was the bitter truth. If he was really coming from such a rare race, and had such a special body, did he have to live all his life hiding so he wouldn't get caught and become someone's plaything? Was that the only way to avoid getting the bad ending his father got? Why was he even born as someone like this?! He just wanted a peaceful life. So, it wouldn't be as dangerous as his mother said if he just forgot he was special and lived like a normal person, right? People would not notice. Alas, it's been a long time since people last saw an omega and they must be believing no omega exists now. At least that's what he thought... He thought people might have forgotten about his existence and he would not have to face any problems in the future.  Whether he was special or not, he still became a target. When he was kidnapped and auctioned as a slave, he regretted ignoring his mother's last advice. "Don't trust anyone easily. Your safety is in your hands and protecting yourself is your duty." He could only blame himself and expect for the worst if his special identity was to get revealed and meet the same end as his father did. However, his fate gave him a second chance along with a huge surprise which changed his life for the better. Hopefully, Asher was saved by the so-called 'bloodthirsty monster' duke and brought to his mansion to babysit his spoiled 10-year-old little sister who threw tantrums declaring she wants Asher to pat her head and comfort her. Just to babysit this adorable, little girl.  He was safe. His secret was also secured within himself. Thanks to that chaotic sister and brother, Asher's life slowly took new turns and continued with almost no obstacles...till some point. The surprise? The duke happened to have some kind of a 'strange' illness that had no cure. Not long after when Asher discovered it, he ended up becoming the perfect cure for his illness. But how? -Remember? He was 'special'! Where would his specialty as an omega lead his life to? What kind of mysteries would he have to encounter with this duke wishing comfort from him?  Will the duke's 'strange' illness ever get healed? How would their story flow to that perfect happy ending with the twist of love landing in the middle of their 'just a deal'? ________________ Note:  This story continues in a historical timeline. Similar to omegaverse, but not the same omegaverse universe. Magic, revenge, dukes, royal families, curses, spells, heats, ruts... (The book cover is from Pinterest. Respect to the artist.)
