Selene

Eclipsed by fate Who remembers the ruin of a god? Who dares to chase what was never meant to be found? Noor—an enigma draped in silk, a storm without thunder, a shadow that bends the world yet leaves no trace of its touch. She is whispered of in corridors where power is traded like currency, yet no man holds her name, no past binds her, no hand dares to reach. She walks unclaimed, unseen, forgotten by design. But some things refuse to be buried. Some ghosts never rest. Sanlang, a man cast in golden light, sculpted into perfection, a deity in the eyes of the world—and yet hollow. Beneath the applause, beneath the worship, something stirs. It begins as whispers in the dark, fragments of a life he does not remember, a truth that gnaws at the edges of his mind. A gavel’s fall. A price too steep. Shackles too fine for a king. And in the abyss of his lost memories, she stands. Watching. Waiting. Who is she? A dream? A curse? Or the key to a something that should have remained untouched? He chases her like a man chasing the sun, believing himself the hunter. He is wrong. She does not run. She does not fear. She does not need to hide, for she knows—should he tread too far, should he step beyond the veil—he will find not salvation, not love, but the remnants of a god unmade. He who was never meant to remember. But now that he does, the only question that remains is this: Will Noor let him live with the truth? Or will she erase him as she did herself?

Bound by Moon & Blood She was never meant to be chosen. Rejected by three mates because of her lowborn status, Selene had long accepted that fate was never kind to her. A warrior among Lycans, she learned to fight for respect,if not for love. But just when she thought she had nothing left to lose, fate plays its cruelest trick yet… Her true mate is no ordinary Lycan. He’s a vampire. Not just any vampire,their king. Damian Kieran is a legend. Ruthless. Unforgiving. Feared by enemies and allies alike. No ruler has ever awakened the power of the underworld… but he did. And no ruler has ever taken a Lycan as a mate. He refuses to be the first. A bond neither of them asked for. A desire neither of them can escape. But when rogue attacks push Selene into his world, everything changes. She is stronger than she seems. And he is far more broken than he appears. But their enemies have been watching. And waiting. Because if the most powerful king in history has one weakness,it’s her.

Every family has that one person who is born as a sacrifice. For her family, that person was Selene Vale, who was to become a spare for her younger twin siblings success. Due to her innate shy and kind nature, she was not able to connect to her family every since she was young. So, despite her rich background, Selene Vale never felt like a part of the family and was often regarded as the 'First spare' or even 'defective'. That did not change even when the world fell and Apocalypses happened. Selene Vale's first life ended trying to protect her twin siblings, the only people who had yet to abandon her. That was her end... ...but it wasn't. Due to her sacrifice, Selene Vale awakened her system and innate power and was given another chance at life and survival. And this time, she vowed to free her siblings from their parent's cruel influence. If she was able to do that, then she would be happy with that. But unfortunately, that was not all she did. She also ended up attracting the attention of the big-boss of the Apocalypse, the only L-ranked hunter and the hope of humanity....and also, a long time friend she would rather forget about.

Selene Valor, a pureblood vampire, entered a marriage of convenience with her husband Gabriel Valor to protect herself from relatives eyeing what was left of her family's wealth. Six months into their marriage, Gabriel is sent away to war to fight for the kingdom. As time went on, news of his victories spread across the kingdom and he was labelled a hero. Nearly six months later, Selene eagerly awaits the return of her heroic husband. Upon his arrival, Selene is faced with betrayal as he brings home a woman named Cassandra Avery, a human who he introduces as his lover. Selene is heartbroken and tries to save what was left of her marriage but soon there is news of Gabriel wanting to take Cassandra as his second wife. Selene is left with the choice of accepting Gabriel’s wishes and staying protected or seeking a divorce. After a heated argument, Selene turns to someone she never expected to be her saviour. She finds refuge with Lord Xavier Blackthorn, another pureblood who seeks her hand in marriage. Will she forgive her first love or move on to accept Lord Blackthorn’s love?

Cedric Valerian, the youngest son of King Alaric, is an outcast in his own family. Born to a disgraced noblewoman and despised by his ambitious siblings, he is seen as nothing more than a half-blood prince with no claim to the throne. But Cedric is no ordinary noble—he is the reincarnation of a modern-day civil servant, armed with knowledge and ideals far ahead of his time. When Cedric is sent to the prestigious Royal Academy, he sees it as an opportunity to prove his worth. But the academy is a battlefield of politics, intrigue, and betrayal, where his siblings—Edmund, the ruthless crown prince; Selene, the cunning diplomat; and Roland, the hotheaded warrior—are determined to see him fail. With the help of a band of unlikely allies—Lysandra, a brilliant economist; Tristan, a disgraced knight; Garrett, a skilled craftsman; and Seraphina, a mysterious noblewoman with secrets of her own—Cedric begins to uncover the truth about his mother’s legacy. Hidden beneath the academy lies a workshop filled with revolutionary inventions, blueprints for a future that could lift the kingdom out of poverty and oppression. But the path to change is fraught with danger. The Shadow Council, a secretive faction within the court, will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power. As Cedric and his allies work to bring his mother’s vision to life, they must navigate a web of lies, sabotage, and assassination attempts. From the halls of the academy to the desolate barony of Ashenfell, Cedric will face trials that test his resolve, his ingenuity, and his humanity. Can he outwit his enemies, unite a fractured kingdom, and claim his rightful place as a king who rules not by birthright, but by the strength of his ideas? The Commoner King: Rebirth of the Administrative Prince is a gripping tale of ambition, innovation

Look, I never asked to be anyone’s problem. I was perfectly fine living my life—making money, looking pretty, and keeping my clients happy. Not exactly a normal career path, but hey, when you grow up in the slums with a face like mine, you take what you can get. And I was good at it. Then my boss decided I was too valuable to be left unsupervised and assigned me a caretaker. Enter Selene. She was sharp-tongued, infuriatingly stubborn, and didn’t treat me like some fragile doll—so, naturally, I fell for her. Hard. And, somehow, she fell for me too. It was messy, complicated, and completely perfect. Then her birthday came around. We, uh… celebrated. Turns out, my girlfriend wasn’t just some wild, reckless dreamer. She was the most wanted criminal in the galaxy. And I was the idiot who fell for her. For the record, I don’t regret it. Now, I’m locked up by the World Intergalactic Representatives (WIR), a bunch of suit-wearing control freaks who want to use me as a radar to track Selene down. Turns out, falling in love with Selene didn’t just get me in trouble—it bound us together in ways I still don’t understand. The universe is bigger, weirder, and way more dangerous than I ever imagined. We’ve got cosmic warlords, ancient alien ruins, and this terrifying energy called Cosmic Harmonics that lets some people tear apart reality itself. Oh, and let’s not forget the Phantom of the Nebula—aka Selene, aka my ex (I think? I hope not.)—who somehow managed to piss off the entire galaxy. And in the midst of all this, I just have one question. How many worlds do I have to burn before I get her back?
