Apa yang terjadi ketika seorang dewi jatuh cinta pada seorang shifter? Asara; dewi cinta, dihukum oleh ayahnya, dewa petir. Kesalahannya adalah jatuh cinta pada seorang shifter manusia Alpha. Untuk menebus dosanya ia terlahir kembali sebagai Cassandra LeBlanc; seorang Putri manusia di Kerajaan Speldaria yang magis. Keluarga dan kerajaannya, kecuali saudara perempuannya yang tengah, mengucilkannya karena dia lahir tanpa kemampuan sihir apapun dan dia tidak memiliki ingatan tentang identitas sejatinya. Tunangannya, penyihir komandan yang kuat dari Speldaria, tidak terganggu olehnya. Dia menginginkan seseorang yang kuat. Kehidupan Cassandra terbalik ketika ia diberi seorang budak pejuang oleh Alpha dari Dusartine yang perkasa. Dia diminta untuk berpartisipasi dalam Acara Arena Tahunan dengan berkolaborasi dengan pejuang tersebut. Cassandra yang membenci 'Arena' dengan seluruh nafasnya. Tempat di mana darah mengalir seperti anggur dan kehidupan lebih murah dari udara yang mereka hirup tidak mengerti tujuannya di dalamnya. Di atas itu semua, pejuang misterius itu memengaruhi dirinya dengan cara-cara yang tak terbayangkan. Pandangannya yang hipnotis membuatnya tidak tenang. Essensinya yang langka membuatnya kewalahan. Tubuhnya yang kekar berwarna perunggu membuatnya dipenuhi pikiran berdosa. Bahkan mimpi tentang kehidupan masa lalunya pun menghantuinya. Ketika 'Arena' dimulai, agenda tersembunyi dan kebenaran yang mendasarinya terungkap dan Cassandra diberi nasib oleh takdir. Dia tidak punya pilihan lain selain menyerah dan memilih jalan. Pertanyaannya adalah. Bagaimana Cassandra mengatasi begitu dia mengetahui tentang kutukan yang diletakkan padanya? Akankah dia mampu memperoleh kemampuan sihirnya dan melawan ayahnya? Siapa yang akan membantunya sepanjang perjalanan? ~Penggalan~ Kemudian dia merasakannya, seluruh dirinya. Semua kekasarannya. Kekuatan lengannya. Kelembutan bibirnya. Genggaman tangannya. Kehangatan nafasnya. Otot-otot dalam tubuhnya menegang karena implikasi tidur dalam pelukan seorang pria. Dia belum pernah tidur dalam dekapan seorang laki-laki sebelumnya. Seluruh kulitnya bergetar seperti percikan api kecil yang menari di bagian-bagian yang bersentuhan dengannya. Celah-celah di otaknya memiliki ingatan yang bukan miliknya. Sentuhan ini entah bagaimana tidak terasa asing baginya. Dia merasa aman dalam pelukannya yang menenangkan dan tidak ingin mendorongnya pergi namun dia tahu ini jauh dari pantas. Cassandra mencoba untuk merayap keluar dari genggamannya, lengannya tampaknya terbuat dari besi karena tidak mau bergeming. Pakaian tipis yang dia kenakan terangkat dari paha putihnya yang terbuka saat paha kecokelatan dan kekar dia terlipat di atasnya. Dan sekarang dia bisa merasakan sesuatu yang menusuk punggungnya. Matanya tiba-tiba melebar dari kesadaran dan Cassandra benar-benar panik. “Lepaskan!” Dia bersuara dengan berat. Siroos perlahan mengangkat kakinya dan melonggarkan pegangan di pinggangnya agar dia bisa bergerak menjauh. Dia terbangun ketika dia untuk pertama kalinya menjadi kaku tetapi ingin melihat apa yang akan dia coba. Dengan mata yang terbelalak lebar dia mencuri pandang ke arah pria yang memeluknya seperti harta berharga, hartanya. Mata emas cairnya berkedip terbuka dan ada kelembutan dan keinginan dengan cara dia menatapnya. Rambut coklat lembutnya bergelombang melewati matanya karena dia lupa berkedip, menatap kecantikan abadi yang dia miliki. Aromanya yang unik adalah penyiksaan bagi indranya. Seperti dia ingin menggenggam pergelangan kaki mungilnya, menariknya darinya dan memiliki dia terhampar di bawah dirinya. Untuk mencium kulit yang mengeluarkan aroma sedemikian rupa yang membuatnya gila. Sebagai gantinya, dia menekuk lengannya dan menaruhnya di bawah pipinya, menggunakannya seperti bantal untuk menatapnya dengan mata yang penuh keinginan. Ketenangan canggung di antara mereka berlangsung lama saat Cassandra membersihkan tenggorokannya. “Apakah kamu harus naik di atas saya untuk tidur?” “Itu tidak disengaja tetapi pasti menggoda dan pasti tidak akan terakhir kalinya.” Suaranya yang dalam dan hipnotis bahkan lebih memikat di pagi hari saat itu menggema di sekitarnya. Cover buku adalah milik saya.

``` —¿Quién-quién eres tú? —balbuceaba Elia, retrocediendo, con las manos levantadas—. Él igualaba su paso a paso hasta que ella se estrelló contra el árbol detrás de ella—y no se detuvo hasta que se alzó sobre ella, tan ancho que sus hombros y pecho formaban un muro frente a ella. Podía sentir el calor que desprendía su piel en el fresco aire de la noche. —Yo soy el Rey Leonino —su voz era un oscuro grava ronca. Detrás de él, un coro de jadeos, aullidos y chirridos de acuerdo se elevaba de la gente que miraba—. ¿Y tú eres? —Elia —ella suspiraba. —Elia —gruñía él, inclinándose más cerca, trayendo consigo el aroma a pino y lluvia y el almizcle de algo distintivamente masculino—. Yo soy Reth —dijo el nombre con un extraño y gutural rodar en su garganta—. Yo soy el Rey de las Bestias. Yo soy el Líder del Clan, y yo soy el Alfa de WildWood —varios gruñidos se elevaron de la multitud detrás de él entonces, pero los ignoró. —Yo soy el Rey —dijo, y tú serás mi pareja. El bosque detrás de él estalló. ****** Elia es una estudiante universitaria pobre hasta la noche en que es llevada al mundo de los Anima—gobernado por humanos cuyos corazones antiguos palpitan con la sangre de animales. Ahí, se ve forzada a participar en una batalla a muerte. Pero cuando Elia sobrevive, y se niega a matar a su último oponente, el Rey debe o matar a Elia él mismo, o tomarla como su pareja. Reth, el brutal Rey de las Bestias con sangre de leones, sorprende a todos cuando elige a la débil humana Elia para convertirla en su Reina. Promete darle todas las comodidades de su riqueza y posición—pero es claro: Ella no calentará su cama. La eligió para derrotar a aquellos que intentaban acorralarlo para mezclar su línea Leonina con los Lobos. Elia necesita la ayuda de los Anima para hacerse más fuerte y gobernarlos bien. Pero los Lobos vengativos ven solo a una humana débil que les trajo vergüenza. Mientras Elia y Reth se aproximan más, los lobos están decididos a destruirla. ¿Admitirán Reth y Elia sus sentimientos el uno por el otro a tiempo para luchar por el Reino—y sus vidas—contra la villana tribu de lobos? O ¿matarán los lobos a Elia y robarán el trono? [Contenido maduro - sin violencia sexual] Arte de portada utilizado con permiso de derechos de autor pagado.

The sun dipped low over the skyline of Austin, casting long shadows on the streets below. In the heart of the city, the hum of life pulsed on. Irena Valdez adjusted her lab coat as she stepped out of the biomedical research facility she called her second home. She had spent years carving a name for herself in the world of science, becoming one of the most sought-after lab technologists in the field. Her days were filled with precision, breakthroughs, and the satisfaction of knowing her work made a difference. Tonight, as she strolled down the sidewalk toward her favorite coffee shop, a sense of calm washed over her. Her life felt perfect—or close enough. Her marriage to Daniel was steady, filled with laughter, warmth, and the kind of trust that made her believe in forever. They were building a future together, one filled with love and mutual respect. The soft chime of the café’s bell greeted her as she pushed open the door. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped her like an old friend. Irena ordered her usual—an almond milk latte—and found a seat by the window. She pulled out her phone to catch up on messages, her mind still swirling with the day’s experiments. But then she heard it. A voice. Deep, familiar, and achingly tied to a part of her life she thought she had tucked away. “Irena?” She looked up, her heart skipping a beat. Standing there, holding a steaming cup of coffee, was Ethan Reyes. Her ex. The man who had once been her everything before life had pushed them apart. His face held a mixture of surprise and something else—nostalgia, perhaps? Time had etched faint lines around his dark eyes, but he was still unmistakably Ethan, with that easy confidence and the smile that had once unraveled her. For a moment, the café faded away, replaced by a flood of memories. The late-night drives, the laughter, the arguments that had burned like wildfire. The quiet moments when they thought they’d found forever. And the heartbreak when they realized they hadn’t. Ethan’s gaze flicked to her left hand, where the glint of her wedding band caught the light. He smiled, but there was a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. “Mind if I join you?” he asked, his tone casual, though his question carried a weight they both felt. Irena hesitated for only a second, then nodded. “Sure.” As he sat across from her, the past and present collided in a way Irena hadn’t anticipated. She was happy—secure in her life with Daniel. But as Ethan leaned forward, his words carrying the echoes of their shared history, she realized the past never truly disappears. It lingers, waiting for moments like this to remind you of who you were, who you are, and the choices that shaped it all.

Seven Realms, One Egg, Two Hearts. In ancient times, there lay a story that was condemned to be chained in secrecy—an unthinkable era was brewed by continuous discord among the inhabitants of the seven realms, blinding them to the cruelty of war. From there, the era's aroma lingered, and darkness dominated both the realms of humans and elementals. But a streak of hope appeared in the sky. In times of crisis, a glowing orb emerged from the depths of the Wyrmpirean seas. People from all seven realms were revitalized and rejoiced. Mythical beasts of Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Spirit, and Shadow came to light. Their power grew through the alchemy of elements and light, and this glowing orb turned out to be an ethereal egg. It was the vital force of the great Luxian beast, destined to be the sentinel of Wyrmpire. However, the poison of greed for power once again took hold of one of the human leaders. In an age when the seven realms coexisted in delicate equilibrium, the harmonious symphony of magic and mythical creatures was abruptly silenced by Gat of Luwalhat'ti's insatiable thirst for dominion. He ordered the capture of the elemental beasts and exploited their essence. Relentlessly pursuing the fabled Mythical Egg for his own self-indulgent desires, he caused this primordial artifact—whispered to possess unimaginable power—to shatter the peace and plunge the world into devastating war, reigniting the embers of chaos from the past. The realms became more divided than ever. Sinagthala, the first to succumb to his ruthless conquest, bears the scars of his ambition. Emir Akkainu, in a desperate act of self-sacrifice, secured the egg at a heart-wrenching cost—his own son, Karrim. Now, Karrim, burdened by a curse yet bestowed with enigmatic abilities, embarks on a perilous quest for vengeance against the Gat. His path intertwines with that of Klarra, Gat's daughter, who, disillusioned by her father's tyranny, yearns for peace and justice. Amidst the chaos and despair of a war-torn world, an unexpected love blossoms; a fragile beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness. Will they find redemption amidst the ruins of a broken world, or will the insatiable hunger for power and the scars of the past consume them all, as history repeats itself? The convergence of Karrim and Klarra's journey is set to test the very limits of their courage, loyalty, and love.

A false prophecy, a conspicuous birth, a sinister ritual and a wholehearted sacrifice. These were the elements that set the Cosmic Gears in motion of this world. It all relied on the variables, Lucien Alaric and Mikaela Howell. Having had a warm childhood was something they were always proud of, at least until they unveiled the illusion of this false happiness. Their moment of joy was apparently measured and limited. “The truth will be revealed to you when you awaken... Believe nothing but what you have witnessed and judged yourselves as the truth... Your enemies are closer than you think... Trust no one!” This were the words the children were left with. Their parents' dying words. Not words for children to live with, right? Clip sneak peek~! "What do you feel?" she asked. "Nothing..?" Mikaela responded, holding his sword tight at hand. In truth, to him, it was no different than cutting down a training puppets head. A tedious endeavor. "Good, you should spare no feeling to enemies, my child," a clear serene voice sounded, like the sweet whisper of the devil. In the air was the fishy rustic iron smell, the scent of human blood. Not just a splash of it but a mass graveyard pool of it. The heavy smell of death. Mikaela stood in the middle of this with calm eyes. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to have become deeper and richer. Lucien is born a mage while Mikaela is born a martial artist. They have distinctly opposing personalities and would rather stay away from each other, but destiny has other plans. They have to unite in the face of the upcoming trials of fate. One loss, spells death to both of them! No compromise! The sacrifice made to protect them drives them to face each day while vengeance motivates them to grow stronger. What kind of future shall they pave in the veil of uncertainty and hidden truth? While Lucien and Mikaela walk different paths, they ultimately have the same destination. The Apex!

Theodore was not satisfied with just looking at her, he wanted to touch her. He slowly raised his hand and approached Princess Adeline. But Adeline subconsciously pulled back and shouted again, “I have already warned you, not to do anything like before. Or else I will…” Instantly, Theodore’s cheerful face turned grim. His golden eyes were now blood red and were staring very deeply at Adeline’s eyes. He was starting to emit a dark aura around him. Before Adeline could react, in the very next moment, Theodore pushed Adeline flat on the bed and was on top of her. He pinned both of her hands down with his hands and whispered near her ear, “Or else you will what? You will shout for your maids again?” Theodore sniffed in the sweet aroma that Adeline was giving off and gave a wicked smile, “Oh! I want you to try. I want you to try calling for your maids again. But don’t be shocked when I seal your juicy lips with my own lips.” Adeline had never in her life expected to see this side of Theodore. Yes, she knew he was the Devil but... [Book 1 Synopsis] Princess Adeline is the youngest child of King Dragomir of Wyverndale. She is detested by her stepmothers because she is born to a concubine – the only woman whom the King loved. And she is envied by her stepbrothers and stepsisters for being adored and loved by the King. Blinded by jealousy, the first Queen orders Princess Adeline to be kidnapped and thrown into the faraway Devil’s Cave as an offering. Her fate was to die that evening. However, her fate got rewritten by the very creature who was supposed to take her to her deathbed. The Devil took pity on the Princess and even went as far as sharing his demonic power with her. Ever since that day, her fate was bound to the Devil Prince of Hell – Prince Theodore. With time, love blooms between the son of God and the daughter of humans. They are madly in love and they want nothing more than to be together forever. However, with the rise of several enemies, from other fallen angels, supernatural creatures, and even God himself, will they get their forever after? [Book 2 Synopsis] **Spoiler alert for Book 1** Adeline and Theodore have a beautiful daughter – Ariel. She is the definition of perfection because God himself created her to be without any flaws. God wants to hand over the whole universe to his granddaughter and retire from his duty as the Supreme Being. However, nobody else wants that future for Ariel. Ariel, on the other hand, is oblivious to her grandfather’s plan for her. She is a free spirit who always has a wide smile on her face. And the only thing she wants to do is go on adventures with her childhood friend – Damien and her cousins. But will she be able to maintain the smile on her face upon being faced by God? Will she be able to maintain her friendship with Damien when he discovers a gut-wrenching truth – that Theodore was the one to kill his father?

He hecho todo lo posible por cumplir la norma, hasta que me di cuenta de que mi nuevo jefe huele demasiado bien como para resistirme y cumple todos los requisitos para ser mi pareja. Sin embargo, hace tiempo que hice el voto de quedarme sin pareja para toda la eternidad. ** Mientras hablaba, me lamió la oreja. Mi corazón volvió a acelerarse. El aroma de su perfume de sangre, mezclado con la fragancia natural de su cuerpo, estimuló cada uno de mis nervios. Me besó el cuello. Gemí contra sus caricias mientras me quitaba la ropa por tercera vez en menos de doce horas. —Hagas lo que hagas... —le dije sin aliento—: No pares. Mis palabras le golpearon con fuerza y sus movimientos se intensificaron. De repente, se separó y giró el cuello hacia mí, revelando su gloriosa piel. Me quedé helada. ¿Debía mantenerme fiel a mi pasado o dar un salto de fe y caer en el mundo del Vínculo de Sangre?

[ MAIN STORY COMPLETED ] In the Heart’s Kingdom, a kingdom where vampires reign and humans were nothing but livestock, Lilou, a peasant, found herself being preyed upon by the worst maniacal vampire of his kind. However, as terrifying as what he addressed her as his ‘reserved meal’, this vampire also called her his bride! Except: My eyes brood with fear, gazing at the still-beating heart in his hand. “My Lord, pardon me but… is this the bloody proof you promised to show me?” I asked, my voice shook as I gulped down whilst struggling my trembling knees from giving away. “Mhm… do you now believe I’m good at capturing hearts?” The silver-haired man, bearing those menacing pair of deep crimson eyes stared proudly at me after a nod. I gasped when he clenched his hand and squeezed the fresh heart to smithereens. “Yes, milord. You’re good at it, literally.” I’m mortified, watching the pieces of the heart fall as he approached. His every step made me take a step back until my back reached a solid pillar. “Huh,” Samael chuckled briefly, stopping in front of me. His long, pointy nails that were covered with blood traced my elbow down to my hand. Gently, he clipped my forefinger in between his, guiding it before his lips. “Did I pass your test, though?” He asked, the sharp tip of his nail playing over the tip of my finger. I stared at his penetrating gaze as I reluctantly answered, “Barely.” He smirked, nodding in satisfaction before he pressed his nail on the tip of my forefinger that was quick to produce a drop of blood. “Such sweet aroma.” He whispered, placing my bleeding finger in his mouth and licking it with passion. His menacing gaze never left mine as he consumed a bit of my blood. “Does that mean you’re accepting my invitation?" Keeping my finger in between his fangs, Samael inquired.

My entire body stiffened when he bent over, caressing my shoulder up to my neck by the apex of his nose, as his hot breaths prickled my skin. "You're not just a mere human... you are my human." He stressed before I sensed his lips part and the tip of his fangs against my skin. Cover not mine. *** Original Story by: alienfrommars FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM for original character arts: @authoralienfrommars Discord server: https://discord.gg/tbS4rKec3e

Pria tampan itu menganggukkan kepala sebagai jawaban. "Lo yakin dia bukan penipu? Gimana kalau dia komplotan perampok? kan Lo belum tahu pasti, apalagi hanya kenal semalam melalui aplikasi game online," ujar sahabat dari pria tampan itu khawatir.

Membuatnya benar-benar merasa curiga, kenapa kebetulan sekali sore harinya langsung pindah ke kotanya, seperti ada sesuatu yang telah direncanakan. Apalagi sahabatnya adalah pemilik perusahaan ternama dan cabangnya di mana-mana, salah satunya perusahaan yang sedang dia kelola. "Gak perlu khawatir, gue tak sebodoh itu," ujar pria tersebut sembari meletakkan secangkir kopi di atas meja.
