Three centuries ago, Lucien Vale made a mistake that cost him his soul. Once a charming, reckless vampire noble, Lucien broke the heart of a powerful woman who cursed him with an insatiable hunger — a punishment that left him condemned to wander the earth, feeding without satisfaction, desire burning through his veins like wildfire. His betrayal brought exile, shame, and centuries of emptiness. His only companion? His also-cursed best friend — the only one who stood by him when the vampire kingdoms cast him out. Together, they’ve survived in the shadows of the human world, hiding their identities, burying their power, and pretending to be something less than what they truly are. Lucien had made peace with his misery. That is… until Aria walked into his life. She is everything he shouldn't want. Everything he can't resist. A struggling bartender with dreams buried under reality, Aria never imagined one night, one alley, and one dangerously beautiful man would change her life forever. When Lucien saves her from an unseen threat—and then pins her to a wall with a kiss that shatters her—she's thrown into a world she never knew existed. A world of blood, power, desire... and monsters. But Lucien isn't like the others. He’s a predator, yes. But also a man tormented by his past, desperate for redemption, and inexplicably drawn to her blood, her voice, her light. Their connection is more than lust. It’s ancient. Fated. She ignites something inside him he thought long dead—a love fierce enough to break the curse. Yet love is never easy in the vampire world. Old enemies rise. Secrets unravel. And the curse? It's not done with him yet. As Aria falls deeper into Lucien’s dark, addictive embrace, she must decide if she’s strong enough to love a monster—and if that love is powerful enough to rewrite fate itself. > Sinful. Addictive. Devastatingly romantic. At His Mercy is a dark, erotic vampire romance about second chances, ancient curses, blood-bound passion, and the kind of love that consumes you… and saves you. He was cursed to hunger forever. Until he hungered for her.

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please…don't do this,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. "But you chased me all the way back!" her lips met his crushing her mouth with a forceful kiss burning her up. She groaned trying to free herself but it was a futile attempt. Dragging her to bed as she tried another futile attempt to escape he stripped her with rough yet controlled hands. "You could've casted me out of there. Gotten married to your ex. You had a better choice given," he kissed her collarbone. " But here you are laying beneath me as it was that night. When you were just a clueless innocent virgin." he grinned sarcastically. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper still trying to move away from his touch. "It useless to defy me. Now this is the only place left for you." And he reclaimed her with burning passion rendering her attempts to refuse him and escape him futile. ----->>>>> Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But worse yet the man who she was supposed to be wedded was replaced by a more ruthless hound. A more agonizing revelation that he was a slave with empty title in name. The white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

Deng Shirong was reborn, waking up in the summer of 1980. In his past life, he had foolishly trusted a matchmaker’s words, only to see his children’s marriages turn into disasters. His two sons-in-law were utterly useless, and his daughters-in-law wreaked havoc in the household. This time, he wasn’t leaving anything to chance. He would personally take the reins and handpick the perfect partners for his children. Years later, during a gathering with old friends, the topic of conversation turned to their daughters-in-law—were they filial or not? Deng Shirong didn’t say a word. Instead, with a calm smile, he took out his phone and posted a simple message on WeChat Moments: “Suddenly craving some Guilin beer fish.” The next moment, his phone started blowing up. Eldest daughter-in-law: “Dad, I’ll drive back this Saturday and take you on a trip to Guilin. I’ve been craving authentic beer fish too!” Second daughter-in-law: “Dad, I’m free right now. I’ll drive back immediately to pick you up. Let’s go enjoy Guilin for a few days!” Third daughter-in-law: “Dad, I have some work to wrap up at the office, but I’ll send the driver to pick you up first…” Fourth daughter-in-law: “…” Youngest daughter-in-law: “…” His old friends sat there in stunned silence, their jaws practically hitting the floor. Their faces were filled with envy! Patreon for Extra Chapters: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1354252/

Oliver Reed é um jovem de 19 anos, calado, técnico e metódico, que divide seus dias entre projetos arquitetônicos numa empresa de obras e traduções de mangás em uma scan que lidera nas horas vagas. Introvertido, mas não completamente fechado, ele já criou laços com os outros moradores do prédio onde vive. Sua vida segue tranquila, dentro do conforto da rotina... até que uma nova moradora aparece de forma repentina. Ela é o oposto dele: energética, tagarela, cheia de sorrisos e carinho gratuito. Trabalha em uma creche durante o dia, mas devora mangás como se fosse parte da scan — o que só torna tudo mais complicado para Oliver. Cansado do trabalho, ele começa a evitar contato, principalmente quando os olhares se cruzam no corredor.

Entre olhares desviados, conversas tímidas e gestos que falam mais do que palavras, Oliver vai desenhando, aos poucos, o contorno de uma conexão que talvez ele nunca tenha esperado.
