Prisoner Prince Bl

[MATURE CONTENT] "Kiss or Kill?" "Karma." ***** Broken by a pack that was supposed to be home, Tamiko swore to never attend any mating ceremonies. He knew they would eventually reject him, so he didn't want to risk the heartbreak even more. However, a lonely best friend in need of a mate and a bunch of convincing later, Tamiko found himself at the entrance of the mating ceremony. As if that wasn't enough, the midnight moon gave him what he didn't want the most. A mate. But not just any mate. Gabe; the alpha's dark son, a man who made it his mission to make Tamiko's life harder, and also the man Tamiko hated more than life itself. As their eyes glowed in the night, Tamiko didn't see a mate, he saw a very rare opportunity; a chance to run, or be the one that Gabe ran from. He chose the latter. Like a gift from the moon, he realized the one thing that could burn down the Grealor pack. He bore the mark of lycan royalty, more precisely, King Zaffuto's mark. The outcast, Tamiko, was the lost lycan prince.

transmigrated into the body of a recently of age Prince what will our MC do with these new loyalties and how will our mc manage a country in a fantasy world especially in a world where war, dragons, demon lords and horrifying eldrich horrors are right around the corner. *** first three chapters are basically set up, I don't care that much about update rate or success I am doing this for myself not others that being said I don't mind nice comments or power stones. don't be an entitled reader I welcome suggestions and grammar/spelling spotter but don't harp on about update rate or narrative choices I make. There is romance but it is VERY slow and mostly to add something that this kind of book needs it can almost completely be ignored until the later chapters when it become more prevalent. Not a harem. I don't plan to even apply for a contract until at least chapter 200 I would also make my premium chapters at minimum start at 100. There are two reasons I would do this firstly I hate it when premium chapters start at like chapter 20. Second I'm not doing this for money so unless I've written a lot and refined it I would never be willing to go premium. AN/ I haven't put the book on hold I'm just bust with university I'll be updating rather sporadically but trust it will come (I'm also in the process of editing and fixing things so be kind). Also yes I take rather heavy inspiration from other sources but so does like any fantasy book after Tolkien.

From fleeing for your safety and enrolling in a school filled with psychopaths… to being claimed by a deranged alpha prince? Yeah, you’re better off dead. • . • Jules’ life was picture perfect until his entire family got murdered all of a sudden, with him being the only survivor. A savior swooped In because he was still in immense danger, and that led to Jules taking on a new identity and becoming a completely different person overnight— and enrolling into Carnivals, a prestigious all-boys school for all supernatural beings. In Carnivals, monsters lurk the dark hallways and the strong preyed on the weak. You either become a predator or a prey… and from one look at Jules— a boy too pretty for his own good, with a slender and petite build, it was obvious that he was gonna be eaten alive by the predators. Here comes Blaze, a wolf who sends shivers down every predator’s spine in the school, an insanely hot Alpha who was as dangerous and deranged as the rumors claimed. He took one glance at Jules and decided there and then that Jules belonged to him. *** I inched backwards, eyes widening even more as my eyes zeroed in on the smirk tugging at the side of his lips. Blaze never smiled, and whenever he does, it never meant anything good. My heartbeat quickened as I scrambled backwards even more, breath stuttering to a stop as he began to narrow the distance between us. In no time, my back was plastered against the cold wall and that was when it hit me right in the chest that I was cornered and ensnared, like an actual prey… by none other than Blaze, when I had thought my life couldn’t get any worse. He towered over me effortlessly, emitting so much dominance and I had to tilt my head backwards for me to be able to meet his dark eyes, and my breath hitched when our eyes locked. He leaned down and my eyes snapped closed at once as I held my breath, waiting for him to strike. I’ve heard all the horrifying, endless rumors about him. He was an Alpha Prince whose presence someone like me should never be in. When I felt the tip of his cold nose glide over the length of my throat, my mouth fell open to release a startled gasp. He dragged in a long, audible breath and I felt a shiver rattle down my spine as I grew even stiffer, confusion clouding my mind. What was happening? Why was he doing this out of nowhere? Oh my gosh… he really was a deranged alpha like everyone says! *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+!

Aria Monroe’s life was supposed to be simple—get through each day, untouched by the entanglements of wealth and power that ruled the world of the elite. But one mistake, one drunken night, led her straight into the arms of Carter Montgomery—a man known not for his kindness, but for his perverse appetites and ruthless control. The rumors didn’t do him justice. Carter Montgomery wasn’t just cold—he was calculating, his piercing gaze stripping her bare as though she were a possession to be broken, reshaped, and owned. When a mistaken pregnancy diagnosis forces her into an unwanted marriage, Aria learns the hard way that Carter’s love is nothing short of a trap. Rules dictate her life now—cruel, unyielding rules that strip her of freedom and test her sanity: 1. Speak only when spoken to. 2. Obey every command without question. 3. Your body belongs to me—no resistance allowed. Defiance earns punishment—bruising punishments that leave her torn between fury and a shameful, forbidden desire. Yet, even as she fights against him, she can’t deny the way his touch burns or how his cruel words pierce something deep inside her. When her first love resurfaces, the cracks in Carter Montgomery’s carefully curated control begin to show. Secrets emerge—dark, ugly truths that explain his obsession with her. But no matter how far she tries to run, Carter always finds her, dragging her back into his twisted embrace. Determined to break free, she demands a divorce. But Carter simply smirks, his voice dripping with finality: “Montgomery family descendants never divorce.” Trapped in a marriage she cannot escape and a love she cannot resist, Aria must navigate a treacherous path of lies, desire, and a haunting realization: she might not want to leave after all.

Roderic stepped forward, his expression a mix of irritation and wariness. "Lysandra's methods are unorthodox, but they're effective," he said, his tone clipped. "You'll find no one better at scouting or taking down a target." "I can see that," Alaric replied, his lips curling into a faint, smile. "Though I imagine her sharp tongue is just as deadly as her blade." Lysandra crossed her arms, her smirk returning despite the weight of the knights' stares. "You have no idea."

Fuir pour votre sécurité et s'inscrire dans une école remplie de psychopathes... pour être revendiqué par un prince alpha dérangé ? Ouais, vous seriez mieux mort. • . • La vie de Jules était parfaite jusqu'à ce que toute sa famille soit assassinée soudainement, lui étant le seul survivant. Un sauveur est intervenu parce qu'il était toujours en grand danger, ce qui a conduit Jules à adopter une nouvelle identité et à devenir une personne complètement différente du jour au lendemain— et à s'inscrire à Carnivals, une école prestigieuse pour garçons, réservée aux êtres surnaturels. À Carnivals, des monstres rôdent dans les couloirs sombres et les forts prédaient les faibles. Vous devenez soit un prédateur, soit une proie... et à en juger par l'allure de Jules— un garçon trop beau pour son bien, avec une carrure mince et petite, il était évident qu'il allait être dévoré vivant par les prédateurs. Voici Blaze, un loup qui fait frissonner l'échine de chaque prédateur de l'école, un Alpha incroyablement séduisant qui était aussi dangereux et dérangé que les rumeurs le prétendaient. Il jeta un coup d'œil à Jules et décida là, à ce moment-là, que Jules lui appartenait. *** Je reculais lentement, les yeux écarquillés alors que mon regard se fixait sur le sourire naissant au coin de ses lèvres. Blaze ne souriait jamais, et quand il le faisait, cela ne présageait rien de bon. Mon cœur s'accélérait alors que je reculais encore, le souffle coupé alors qu'il commençait à réduire la distance entre nous. En un rien de temps, mon dos était plaqué contre le mur froid et c'est alors que ça m'a frappé en plein cœur que j'étais acculé et piégé, comme une véritable proie... par nul autre que Blaze, alors que je pensais que ma vie ne pouvait pas être pire. Il me dominait sans effort, dégageant tant de dominance et je devais incliner la tête en arrière pour pouvoir rencontrer ses yeux sombres, et mon souffle s'est coupé lorsque nos regards se sont croisés. Il se pencha et mes yeux se fermèrent immédiatement alors que je retenais mon souffle, attendant qu'il frappe. J'avais entendu toutes les rumeurs horrifiantes et interminables à son sujet. C'était un Prince Alpha en présence duquel quelqu'un comme moi ne devrait jamais se trouver. Quand j'ai senti la pointe de son nez froid glisser sur la longueur de ma gorge, ma bouche s'est ouverte pour lâcher un gazouillis de surprise. Il aspira un long souffle audible et un frisson me parcourut l'échine alors que je devenais encore plus raide, la confusion obscurcissant mon esprit. Qu'est-ce qui se passait ? Pourquoi faisait-il cela soudainement ? Oh mon dieu... il était vraiment un alpha dérangé comme tout le monde le dit ! *** CE LIVRE EST CLASSÉ 18+ !

A war between Angels and Demons ravaged the land, but only ended with the alliance between the angels, the hybrids, and the non-unified.

He is beginning to feel the despair living the rest of his life under the hybrid alliance, and seeks to change the world he was born into.

“Evil God of the Universe, You are in every space and time. Present in every dimension of reality and govern the darkness of our world. Oh, almighty Atticus! Hear our plea and grant us your presence tonight, awaken my Lord!” The rain had completely stopped and the strong gale had subsided into the fading raindrops. The night had turned eerily silent and only the sizzling and cackling of the fire entered their ears. Suddenly, they all felt like floating from their feet despite setting foot on the watery, hard ground, as if they were traversing into space. The darkness of the night gradually turned darker, enveloping them, morphing into everyone, like a void eating them slowly. Sequentially, their breathing turned oddly slower. Despite exaggeratedly inhaling air to breathe, it was to no avail, as if a higher entity was limiting them from breathing. Nolan felt his throat and tried to open his mouth to gasp more air but failed. Everyone but him was in a state of indignation and panic as they struggled to breathe to fill their lungs with air. Nolan tried to calm his heart. He closed his eyes and stopped inhaling air in pure panic, instead, he put his heartbeat and breathing into a rhythm. It was hard at first, but after a minute, he found his breathing gradually went stable. His whole being was in pure anticipation of what was going to happen next. After a couple more minutes, the storm completely subsided, the night turned to normal. Nolan remained standing, taking in his surroundings with his eyes closed. Everything turned silent. The eerie atmosphere and the crackling of the fire from the hay figure didn’t even enter his ears. Nolan waited for a couple more minutes, his breathing turning normal. He was reluctant to open his eyes, afraid he might ruin their ritual. “It’s alright now, Young Master. You can open your eyes now.” Nolan’s breathing hitched. He jolted on his feet as he fluttered his eyes open. “Atticus? W-why are you here?” The butler, standing in front of him, a raincoat hung on his arms, smiled. “I am everywhere, Young Master, in order to best serve you.” **** Atticus, a demi-god from the underworld, was cast out of his parents from their realm and was thrown into the human world. The reason? He hadn't given them grandchildren yet. Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction and is purely the product of my imagination.

Twenty years after the fall of Voldemort, the wizarding world has grown and adapted to the modern era, integrating Muggle innovations like smartphones and the internet alongside ancient magic. Amid this shifting landscape, Alexander "Alex" Lorian, the youngest prince of the enigmatic and powerful Lorian royal family, carries a secret that sets him apart: he was not born in this world but reincarnated from another, and he possesses a mysterious system that guides his path. Destined to live a life of privilege and isolation, Alex chafes under the gilded cage of palace life, yearning for something greater. When an invitation arrives for him to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry—sponsored by none other than Hermione Granger, the British Minister for Magic—he sees his chance to break free and forge his own path. But Hogwarts is a place of both wonder and peril. As Alex steps into its hallowed halls, whispers follow his every move. His presence disrupts old rivalries, stokes new alliances, and draws the attention of figures like Harry Potter, now Head Auror, who senses there’s more to Alex than meets the eye. While navigating the complexities of house politics, magical lessons, and burgeoning friendships, Alex begins to unlock his system’s true potential. However, dark forces are stirring across Europe—ancient powers tied to his family’s shadowy past. As Alex’s skills grow, so too does the weight of his responsibility, forcing him to confront the question: will he rise as a beacon of unity between the wizarding and Muggle worlds, or succumb to the darkness threatening to consume them all? Blending royal intrigue, magical discovery, and the rich legacy of Hogwarts, The Serpent Prince is a tale of ambition, destiny, and the search for a place to call home.

Synopsis: Ezekiel’s life was a tragic tale of addiction, loneliness, and missed opportunities. A failed existence marred by a deadly overdose, his life seemed to end in darkness. But fate had other plans. Reincarnated in the body of Darius Lionhart, a 16-year-old prince with immense potential and godly mana reserves, Ezekiel is given a second chance — one that comes with power, intrigue, and danger.

Blessed with infinite mana and empowered by the mysterious chains that bind him, Ezekiel embraces his new identity with a ruthless resolve. His jealous brothers, Elias and Asher, who conspired to poison him, are in for a shock — Darius is no longer the pawn they believed him to be. With a mind sharpened by his past life and a body capable of incredible feats, Ezekiel sets his sights on the throne. He will no longer be the victim of his family’s schemes. Instead, he will become the most feared force in the kingdom, ruling with an iron fist and a heart of ice. But his journey will not be easy. Old rivals, deadly enemies, and even his own father — the legendary King Kael, an SSS-ranked battle god — stand in his way. To survive, Ezekiel must outmaneuver everyone around him. The throne is within his grasp, but only if he can navigate the deadly politics of the royal court, the manipulation of his siblings, and the countless challenges that await him. Will he rise to become the ultimate ruler, or will the kingdom’s power struggles consume him? In a world where only the strongest survive, Ezekiel will stop at nothing to claim his birthright. The Lionhart bloodline will either bow to him, or it will burn in the flames of his ambition.
