Ishq Par Zor Nahin Upcoming Twist

I fell asleep playing a twisted otome game… and woke up as its most hated villainess. Now I’m Davina Emerson — the imperial princess feared by all, executed in every ending, and cursed to die no matter which route I take. Worse? A cold-hearted system appeared, telling me this isn’t a dream. If I want to survive and return home, I must complete every mission it throws at me. Or die trying. And my first mission? Raise the favorability of the male leads — the very men Davina once enslaved, humiliated, or betrayed. A prince once chained in her bedroom — who now smiles while planning her execution. A knight stripped of honor, who treats me like a battlefield. A saint defiled by sin, who once prayed for my soul… and now craves my touch. An ex-fiancé turned rebel, who fights for justice — even if it means my head on a spike. A “loyal pet” bought from the black market — who might be a predator in disguise. They’re all obsessed. They’re all twisted. And they all want me dead… or worse. This world isn’t a game anymore. Every kiss hides a blade. Every favor hides a trap. To survive a twisted reverse harem, I’ll have to outplay the story itself.

Ethan was destined for everything—love, power, wealth, glory. Instead, he was handed nothing but pain, betrayal, and hatred. Stripped of the life that should have been his, he grows up lost, clinging to a fragile hope: to find a place he can finally call home. But behind his suffering lies a buried conspiracy—one that stole his future and cursed his life. As he inches closer to the truth, Ethan must confront the shadows that shaped him and twisted his destiny. Can he uncover the forces that condemned him without losing himself in the process? Or will the path to justice twist him into the very thing he once feared becoming: a ruthless force with nothing left to lose? PS: Please let me know your thoughts about this work and enjoy :) I will do my best to release 5 chapters/week

"Je t'ai dit de ne pas me toucher," Audrey dit. "Devant les gens," Il lui rappela. Audrey pouvait sentir le sourire narquois dans sa voix. ~~~ Les dix-sept années d'Audrey dans la meute du Sang Gris étaient comme un animal en cage. Elle vivait chaque jour en redoutant la prochaine chose inattendue pour laquelle l'Alpha pouvait la punir. Audrey a essayé fort de comprendre le rêve mystérieux qu'elle faisait, mais rien n'avait de sens pour elle, elle était perdue. Elle souhaitait être libérée de la meute du Sang Gris, mais elle perdit tout espoir de survie quand elle se retrouva enfermée et enchaînée dans le sombre donjon froid. Elle le détestait, elle le maudit alors que son sang s'écoulait d'elle. Elle était heureuse de mourir et de s'éloigner de ce monstre d'alpha. Audrey se réveilla dans un monde magique où elle a tout appris sur elle-même, elle s'est cultivée pour devenir la plus forte des loups et des sorcières vivants. Un objet, cependant, l'a ramenée au dernier endroit où elle voulait être. L'Alpha Aloha Lake régnait sur la meute du Sang Gris, la plus grande et la plus forte meute des États-Unis. Il était connu pour être brutal, même la mafia le craignait. Rien ni personne ne le dérangeait, sauf une; la fichue garce Audrey. Il la détestait, et il la ferait payer pour les péchés de sa mère. Mais il ne pouvait pas encore la tuer... L'Alpha Lake regardait sans émotion le corps ensanglanté d'Audrey qui gisait sur le sol froid du donjon, il ordonna à son bêta de se débarrasser d'elle sans y réfléchir à deux fois. Un an plus tard, les ennemis se rencontrèrent à nouveau. La haine sera-t-elle la seule émotion qu'ils partagent ? Pourraient-ils résister à l'attraction fatale qu'ils ressentaient l'un pour l'autre ?

"Déshabille-toi." L'ordre était sec, empreint d'autorité, tranchant le silence comme le claquement d'un fouet. Le timbre profond de la voix de Dimitri fit frissonner les femmes rassemblées. Elles avaient vite appris au cours des deux derniers jours que l'obéissance signifiait la survie. À son ordre, elles baissèrent la tête, les mains tremblantes tandis qu'elles retiraient le tissu mince et déchiré qui les protégeait à peine de l'humiliation. Mais l'une d'entre elles ne bougea pas. Elle resta figée sur place, provoquant le rétrécissement des yeux de Dimitri. _________ Née dans un monde de tromperie, la Princesse Sorayah Drakon fut forcée de vivre comme un prince, cachant son genre et ses dons uniques. Elle peut guérir les blessures, commander les éléments, se déguiser en quelqu'un d'autre ou en animaux, manipuler les rêves, créer de puissantes illusions, et posséder une force qu'aucun autre humain ne détient. Se sentant piégée, elle abandonne sa fausse identité à la faveur de la nuit pour s'habiller en femme. Une nuit fatidique, lors d'une de ces escapades secrètes, elle rencontra Lupien Nightshade, le prince héritier des loups-garous ! Ce fut le coup de foudre. Mais l'amour se transforme bientôt en tragédie lorsque Lupien tue son père, plongeant le royaume humain dans le chaos. Les humains furent capturés comme esclaves et Sorayah devint l'une d'entre eux. Elle jura vengeance, voulant se rapprocher de Lupien pour le tuer, mais avant qu'elle ne puisse le faire, elle fut revendiquée par Dimitri Nightshade, l'oncle de Lupien ! Quand elle réalisa que leurs intérêts s'alignaient, Sorayah chercha à gagner sa confiance et à l'utiliser comme une arme. Deux ennemis. Un royaume. Une soif partagée de destruction. Mais il y avait autre chose. Quelque chose que Sorayah n'avait pas prévu. Dimitri Nightshade était irrésistible. Elle le détestait tellement qu'elle voulait lui arracher le cœur à mains nues, mais elle ne pouvait nier la façon dont il la faisait brûler de passion. Sorayah pourra-t-elle le plier à sa volonté ? Ou sera-t-elle piégée dans ses griffes pour toujours ?

"Ahh !" Elle se tortillait dans un brouillard de gémissements, son corps tremblant de sensations contradictoires. Elle détestait cet homme, pourtant chaque fibre de son être réagissait à son toucher. Alors que ses mains commençaient à parcourir sa taille, elle retint brusquement son souffle—le soudain tiraillement de sa fermeture éclair dans le dos lui envoya un frisson le long de la colonne vertébrale. La glissière métallique s'arrêta au creux de son dos, et en s'ouvrant, son dos et sa taille furent exposés, dévoilant sa peau à l'air frais. "N-Ne—mmph !" Sa protestation fut étouffée par l'oreiller tandis que ses doigts caressaient sa colonne vertébrale nue, laissant une traînée de chair de poule sur leur passage. Avec un grognement profond et colérique, il murmura durement à son oreille : "Je te ferai oublier chaque toucher, chaque baiser, tout ce qui le concerne. Désormais, quand tu seras avec un autre homme, tu ne verras que moi." Elara Vance était une oméga réservée, souvent négligée dans la Meute de la Lune d'Argent pour son comportement discret et son apparence modeste. Mais sous ses épaisses lunettes se cachait un béguin secret pour Rhys Knight, le futur Alpha de la meute et un séducteur notoire du campus. Rhys se moquait des liens de couple, traitant les relations comme jetables—jusqu'au dix-huitième anniversaire d'Elara, quand il l'a publiquement rejetée, faisant d'elle la cible de toutes les plaisanteries. Maintenant, Elara revient transformée—lunettes abandonnées, sa chevelure coiffée élégante et confiante—et Rhys ne peut détacher son regard d'elle. Et si son sang renfermait un héritage sacré choisi par la Déesse de la Lune ? Et si l'"humiliation" faisait partie d'un plan plus vaste ? Et quand Rhys, l'alpha qui l'avait autrefois rejetée, s'agenouille devant son nouvel amour, Liam Thorne, suppliant pour une seconde chance, qui remportera la victoire dans cette bataille d'orgueil et de passion ?

Brisée et confuse face au changement de son mari, Mélanie ne savait pas où se tourner. Et puis elle est tombée sur une autre réalité froide. Tout ce qu'elle avait cru était un mensonge. Bouillonnante de colère et d'humiliation, alors qu'elle essayait de comprendre la trahison, une personne inattendue entre en jeu, déterminée à la séduire et à la conquérir. Le seul problème ? L'homme était son ancien beau-frère... Et contre son meilleur jugement, elle est attirée par ce mauvais garçon... Mais alors que Mélanie essayait de donner un sens aux changements, elle a découvert que bien plus se passait qu'elle ne l'avait jamais imaginé. Les deux frères étaient-ils réellement tombés amoureux d'elle ? Ou était-elle simplement un pion dans un jeu plus vaste ?

*Prologue* The Korean air enveloped Sarah James like a foreign shroud. An 18-year-old Nigerian, she had never imagined herself in this world. The strict norms and expectations threatened to suffocate her, but her love for K-dramas and K-pop sparked a curiosity that refused to be extinguished.

In the library, Sarah's eyes met Hyun Min's, and her world shifted. The brooding introvert's piercing gaze drew her in, and she found herself captivated by his quiet strength.

Fate knows that timid people won't amuse her, so she serves them plain death as a conclusion. Being a philosophy student, the sixteen year old Anglo-Japanese Craig Ichinose had a humble yet principled personality. But his main goal was rather jejune : living a decent and respectful life. If there was something he hated the most, it would be standing out from the crowd. He hated to become the centre of attention. However one day, his biggest fear came true as a life-changing event uprooted him from his sweet life of normalcy. Returning home one night from his high school's farewell party, Craig finds himself stuck in an array of supernatural events. He is stabbed in the chest by a mysterious man and as he is about to die, he sees ferrocious, otherworldly creatures appear out of countless red portals. "Please God, give me refuge in Heaven." is what he ponders on the brink of his death, but then, a saviour descends down from the skies who whisks him away to a different world. In this new world, Craig finds out that a mysterious race called the "demons" have waged a war against possibly every life form in existence. He learns that the destruction of his world was not merely an apocalyptic event but a planned invasion by this race. This single event landed the first blow to the strong foundations of his morality. The night he bid farewell to his school became the night he bid farewell to his own world. He accquired the status of a refugee – a stain he will carry forever. In this new world, he tries to survive desperately as he tries to keep up with the moral codes, societal norms of the war-wrecked times. What is this growing cruelty inside? Is violence, hatred and horror justified in a cruel world? What will Kanito choose – the newfound cruelty or the long-cherished empathy? Will he stick to his beliefs or will he give them all an egregious re-definition? Those will answered with the continuous march of time, revealing the refugee's and eventually the world's true purpose.

Freedom was all she wanted. Instead, she found him. Aveline thought she knew pain. She thought she knew what it meant to survive. But when she’s forced to leave behind everything she’s ever known, she finds herself in the hands of Dominic Cross a cold, powerful man who never pretends to be kind. He offers her safety, but it comes with rules. He offers her shelter, but it feels like a cage. As days blur into nights, secrets were unveiled and the walls between them start crumble, Aveline begins to question everything including herself. Because the most dangerous chains aren't made of iron. They're the ones you start to miss.

Cet espoir, Koma va le saisir afin de retrouver qui il est vraiment, et affronter les dangers d’un monde où les pouvoirs peuvent être à la fois une bénédiction et une malédiction. Mais dans cette quête, la vérité sur lui-même pourrait être bien plus effrayante que ce qu’il imaginait…

There is a girl I love, beyond measure, her name whispered in my every prayer. I sacrificed everything for her, and now I depart, my final act dedicated to her. In a realm beyond this life, if our souls should meet once more I pray earnestly for one thing—may the Divine decree that we never again walk the same path. Then why? “Excuse me? If you're done, can I use the tap?” Why did our path across again? If our fate was predetermined, why had I been granted this second chance? Why!? Why was I transported back to the past!?

SIX YEARS AGO New York City The rain had a way of erasing things footprints, sins, promises. And that night, it washed everything away except the way she looked at him… like she'd already decided he didn't deserve to survive. Kian Donovan stood outside the crumbling steel doors of her father's company, the one he had helped build from the ground up, soaked to the bone, fingers clenched around the betrayal letter in his hand. His heart was pounding like war drums. Talia signed it. That was what gutted him more than the millions lost, more than the empire crumbling beneath his feet. It was her name, elegant and precise at the bottom of the document that burned like acid in his palm. He'd trusted her. Touched her. Loved her, and she sold him out. Not with bullets. Not with blood. But with a signature that stripped him of everything. The last thing he saw before the security guards threw him out was her face behind the glass expression unreadable, mouth slightly parted, but her eyes her eyes betrayed something crueler than hate. Regret? Guilt? No. Worse. Indifference. He disappeared after that. No press. No lawsuits. No mercy. Kian Donovan didn't die that night. But the man who loved her did.
