She wasn’t supposed to exist. And yet… she does. After the death of her adoptive mother—one of the most powerful witches in Sabrah—Aster is cast out of the only family she’s ever known. With nothing but a mysterious trust fund, a secret past, and a promise to become a doctor, she escapes to Santossa City—a glittering metropolis ruled by Lycans and forbidden to vampires. A city where she doesn’t belong. A drunken night shatters her careful plans when she wakes in the bed of Carl Landon—the dangerously magnetic heir to the Lycan Empire. What was meant to be a one-night escape becomes something far more complicated. Carl expected solitude. What he got was her—a stranger whose scent he can't resist, whose presence disrupts his instincts, and whose blood might be tied to a prophecy the Lycans would kill to possess. As their worlds collide, Aster learns the night they shared wasn’t an accident—it was fate. Ancient, powerful, and impossible to deny. But in a world where humans can’t birth supernatural children… Aster shouldn’t even exist. And that makes her the most dangerous secret of all.

Charged with warning the court, Veyra insists Liora escort her to the nearest outpost. Yet as danger stalks closer and Liora's last suppressant begins to fail, the secrets between them deepen-and their pull toward one another grows harder to resist. Together, they'll uncover the rot festering in the heart of the kingdom's court. But while Liora battles the laws that would enslave her, Veyra must choose between duty and desire, tradition and truth. And both must face the pain of a fate that may have bound them long before they ever met.

ZOYA was born into a world that never truly welcomed her. From the very beginning, her existence was met with disappointment—because she was a girl. Unlike other children, Zoya faced developmental challenges; she struggled to understand the world around her, found it difficult to speak clearly, and lacked the communication skills that others took for granted. For this, she was ignored, ridiculed, and treated like a shadow within her own home. But even in the darkness, Sanvi had a spark—she was brilliant in her studies. Slowly, silently, she began to grow. Yet, just as she stepped into school, life grew even crueler. She became a victim of relentless bullying, day after day. And she bore it all alone. Her fear of her abusive and violent family silenced her pain. She learned early on that speaking up only brought more hurt. Years passed. The wounds she hid never healed—but she kept walking forward, searching for something—perhaps love, perhaps peace. But fate had other plans. She fell for someone younger, a love the world would never understand. Meanwhile, tragedy struck her home in ways that shattered her soul. Still, Zoya refused to break. This is a haunting tale of a girl who was unloved, unheard, and unseen—yet dared to survive. Through betrayal, heartbreak, and loss, Sanvi’s journey is one of quiet strength, hidden battles, and the desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, she deserved more.

But when an unexpected escape alongside the magnetic, infuriating Meta leads them to a shared, tearful déjà vu at Hua Hin Beach, the puzzle shatters, hinting at a connection that defies explanation and an echo of forgotten emotions. As Thyme is flung through time, jolting between his chaotic present and the perilous underworld of the 1990s, he uncovers a startling revelation: he and Meta were once secretly entwined, their deep bond mysteriously severed by an unseen hand. In the present, Meta stumbles upon his father's hidden secrets: a mysterious notebook and an old telephone. The notebook reveals cryptic pleas from a Meta in the 1990s, desperately urging him to save Thyme from a deadly fate that will unfold in the future, hinting that the timeline itself hangs in the balance, shifting with their actions. Meanwhile, the old telephone, used by Meta in his high school days before a selective amnesia veiled his memories concerning Thyme, becomes a conduit to the past. Through it, the Meta of today unknowingly communicates with the time-traveling Thyme of the past, sparking a hidden relationship that flourishes. Yet, an envious shadow lurks, plotting an accident to separate them, erasing crucial memories and fracturing their bond.

With time, memory, and reality blurring into a dangerous labyrinth, Thyme must not only confront the shadowy forces that conspired to tear them apart but also decide: is the love he feels for two Metas a cruel echo, a fated reunion spanning lifetimes, or something far more complex? Can he reclaim a lost history, or will the very act of remembering shatter his present and all hope for a future?

A forbidden mark blazes on her chest. The skies tremble. And a feared voice utters: "The Soul-Bond has awakened." In front of the whole academy, she is claimed by Kael Valen—the cold, unyielding Void Prince, wielder of dark magic and heir to a kingdom that was ravaged. Now, their souls are tied. Their fates entwined. And their bond can be the difference between an ancient prophecy that has the magical world reduced to ashes. But power always costs something.

Do we really have a choice in our lives? Can we defy fate? Or are we nothing more than chess pieces for the goddess of fate? What is the difference between love and obsession? *** As her hands moved along the wall, her fingers brushed against a slight dent. Her eyes snapped open. Leaning in, she blew on the stone surface, only for a cloud of dust to explode in her face. She staggered back, coughing. "Ugh—seriously?" She cracked open one eye, blinking away the dust. Through the faint haze, she spotted something carved into the stone. She squinted, running her fingers over the words. "The god of war asked: 'What force bends neither to strength nor will?'" "The goddess of destiny answered: 'Can fate be controlled or prevented?'" Alexia frowned. "Okay, now that actually sounds like a riddle. But what's the answer?" --- What happens when you become marked by Destiny herself?

She was trained to kill. He was never supposed to matter. When Lila Veyra stepped into Ethan Cross’s lecture hall, she wasn’t looking for love—she was looking for her next assignment. Ethan, quiet and guarded, never knew his father led one of the deadliest underground organizations in the world. He never knew the woman sitting across from him in class was a ghost in heels—an assassin sent to control, watch... and if necessary, eliminate. But some rules were meant to be broken. What begins as surveillance spirals into obsession. Forbidden kisses turn into whispered lies. And when Ethan refuses to take his father’s place in the shadows, Lila vanishes without a trace—leaving behind a trail of bodies, secrets, and a kiss that refuses to die. Now hunted by the very people who trained her, Lila must decide if love is worth killing for. And Ethan? He’s not the same quiet boy she left behind. In a world built on blood and silence, love has a price. And someone always pays.

Some oaths are carved in blood. Others… in the soul. Naia never wanted to be marked. But when a forgotten bond resurfaces—etched into her skin and memory—she’s forced to face the boy she was never meant to remember… and the curse that never really ended. At Velgrave Academy, truth burns, secrets bleed, and love might be the most dangerous magic of all.

"You were never meant to touch me," Nyla hissed, the mark on her skin burning like a curse. "It was Ka’el’s right." "Then let him take it back—if he dares," Theron replied coldly, his eyes gleaming with defiance. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? “You have ruined all of us.” She sobbed. “No,” he said. “I have bent fate. And now I’ll rewrite it.” ______ Once every hundred years, beneath the light of the Blue Moon, the gods of Myrenn descend to choose their fated Vessel—an ancient soul-binding rite that crowns the next ruler of the realms. Ka’el, god of light and rightful heir, was meant to mark Nyla—a quiet healer from a forgotten bloodline. But in a single, brutal moment, his younger brother Theron stole that right. Fierce, unrelenting, and tired of being overshadowed, he forced the bond meant for another. Now Nyla is bound to the wrong god. The mark sears her soul. The bond fractures the realms. And as visions of two ruined futures haunt her steps, Nyla becomes the battleground for a war far older than she is prepared for hi Because the greatest threat isn’t the gods. It’s what happens when fate is defied— …and desire is mistaken for destiny.

In the mystical realm where gods weave the very fabric of existence, a cataclysm unfolds. Imagine, if you will, the celestial tapestry torn asunder. Satakal, the ancient serpent deity who wove the threads of time, lies slain by an enigmatic sorcerer—a wizard whose motives remain veiled in shadow. As Satakal’s divine essence seeps away, the world trembles. Time itself unstabilizes, like a delicate spell unraveling in a tempest. A mysterious ailment afflicts mortals, pulling them from the temporal flow. These afflicted souls form tribes and cults, their minds unmoored, their bodies adrift between moments. They rise against the once-mighty kingdoms, their allegiance to chaos and entropy. And before this turmoil, Alron, a humble lad from the tranquil village of Wolfur nestled within the spine mountains, faces an extraordinary twist of fate. His days were once filled with village festivals and stolen glances at Freya, his heart’s desire. But destiny, capricious as a fairy’s laugh, intervenes. Alron and Freya, without warning, hurtle forward through the eons. Two hundred years hence, they find themselves strangers in a world bereft of familiarity. Their quest: to mend the fractured strands of time, to restore balance, and perhaps, just perhaps, to reclaim lost love and forgotten memories.

The cut was deep. It ran from the sole of her feet to her ankle. Fresh blood trikled down from her foot. How long was it until she reached another village. The forest was covered in snow and the frost Had started bite her skin. Amelein heaved for air as she had been in the forest for the past hour. Save for the hoooting of an owl and a wild cat that had meowed some minutes ago, she was practically alone. But the wind brought a faint sound to her ear... footsteps. They were faint but she could hear it and now she knew she had company. And she was sure it was not good company. She was at a disadvantage because her foot was injured. The only thing that her subconscious told her was one word. 'run' But her strength was failing her. She prayed enearstly for som sort of escape. What if it was a vampire! Or worst a black witch.!!!! She tried to steady her breath while hiding behind one of the trees. It had large branches which was enough to cover her. She bent over and sat on the forest floors while steadying herself on her good foot. She left the other foot to rest straight while stretching it to avoid the injured side. ***** Dante walked through the forest while watching out for signs of black witches. No normal man would walk into this part of the forest. It was called the heart of the forest for a reason. Even though it was quiet. The eery silence and the fog that rose to the length of his knees and circled the entire forest. It was said to start at the stroke of midnight,some said the were spirits of the deceased the were wandering about since they refused to pass through the gates of eternal rest. Hell or heaven? Who cared anyways. He was there because of the council man who said he had heard of the black witch who had been creating a potion turn humans into a docile state and she had planned an attack on an entire human village but he was sure the attack had already taken place because , it was meant to take place that night. He wasn't a saint to come here to save the city... Of course not . There were people in the department and they were too lazy to do their jobs. Just when he was about to kick the wooden door he found deep in the heart of the forest that looked like a small old box house. It was so small that he doubted if it was up to quarter the size of his room. Suddenly he smelt something in the air, it it was very potent. It was blood. His fangs grew and began to crave blood. He struggled to control his thirst and it seemed really bad at the moment. It enveloped his senses which made him momentarily forget his mission to trace the source of the blood. This wasn't human blood but then what race was this? He began walking until he got to a thicket of trees where so many trees clustered together there by forming an umbrella. He held up his short revolver gun and held it up with both hands while using his ears as extra set of equipment used to pick up any odd sounds. Just as he was about to take a step forward he a spike in a heart beat but it was beating at a slow beat which was odd. He used his nostrils to concentrate but the sound and the smell where coming from the same place. Then he sighted a dress and soon he could make out a silhouette of a woman in a seated position. but what was a human female doing in this part of the forest. But she didn't look like a witch. While still in thought he heard the woman scream so loudly, letting out a shrill cry. That was when he noticed the presence of a vampire with but it was a low level vampire with bright red eyes but his fangs were longer than normal. A deranged vampire. His nails grew out long and harshly grabbed the woman while piercing his nails into her skin causing blood to ooze out of the injured hands. Dante seeing this quickly aimed for the head of the corrupted vampire making the later fall limb on the ground after releasing the woman. But instead of one rather two bodies fell to the ground, one following the other.
