Death Mark

Marked by the Ruthless Princess

In her previous life, Lina Riley harbored an unrequited love for the Fifth Princess, Victoria Ashwood. Lina sacrificed everything for her—securing her place on the throne, protecting her borders, and losing her arm and sight in the process. Yet, her loyalty was repaid with a goblet of poisoned wine and the execution of her entire family. Victoria despised her, accusing Lina of cruelty and of orchestrating her elder sister’s death, deeming her unworthy of love. When the poison took effect, Lina closed her eyes in despair, only to awaken back in the moment they first met. On that fateful day, Lina had stumbled upon Victoria being beaten by palace maids, an encounter that set everything in motion. This time, Lina turned away, choosing a different path, but a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lured her in. One reckless night led to a moment of despair when she awoke to find the coldly beautiful face of her bedmate—Lucille Everard, the Princess Regent. Lucille, while outwardly uninterested in court affairs, was notorious for her swift and decisive actions that had seen emperors replaced with alarming frequency. Compared to Lucille’s power, Lina’s past dealings with Victoria seemed like mere child's play. As Lucille stirred awake, Lina's nerves were frayed. “Given the circumstances, Your Highness, what do you think of me now?” she asked, resigned to her fate. To her surprise, Lucille chuckled softly. “I think you’re wonderful.” Stunned, Lina could only manage a confused “Huh?” From that moment, everything veered off course. Lucille's palace soon bloomed with roses—Lina’s favorite. Amidst the swaying blossoms, the resolute Princess Regent would gently take Lina’s hand, her once-frigid gaze warm and tender. “My dear Lina, you are the finest woman in the world.” In her new life, Lina often dreamed. She dreamt of someone leaving a bouquet of roses at her grave, their robes trailing the light fragrance of plum blossoms. They sipped wine with a wry smile, murmuring, “Silly girl, I avenged you.” Victoria Ashwood was reborn too. She hadn’t expected that killing Lina would provoke her aunt’s ruthless revenge. Determined to avoid a similar fate, she resolved to feign affection for Lina, even if it took a lifetime. At a palace banquet, Victoria was taken aback by Lina’s beauty. Draped in fine silks, Lina was a dazzling sight, so different from the weathered woman Victoria remembered. Drawn to her, Victoria was about to approach when she noticed Lucille at Lina’s side, gently wiping her lips with a soft smile. “Take it slow,” Lucille murmured. Lina paused, then chuckled as she adjusted a strand of Lucille’s hair. Victoria’s heart twisted in fury. When her desperate attempts to win Lina back failed, she demanded, “Why won’t you love me?” Lina sneered. “Show some respect, Fifth Princess. You should address me as Aunt. Besides, your hypocrisy and cold-heartedness make you unworthy of love.” Years ago, a young Lucille Everard encountered a lost girl in the palace gardens. The girl declared that Lucille was beautiful and promised to marry her one day. Thirteen years later, a fateful misunderstanding during a bout of poisoning entwined their paths. What began as teasing quickly turned Lucille from a hunter into prey, helplessly ensnared by the woman she never forgot. Tags: 1.

Echoes of Death

*READ BEFORE STARTING* Hey all, so right now I’m currently working on a mass release of about 30 chapters, and I’m editing the first two that are already uploaded. Just know that what u see/read is not the final product and even though there won’t be an update for a while, it’s coming. Anyways I hope you enjoy what I’ve got so far! ** Death is something we all fear. Something we all know is inevitable. If something is alive it has to die, that is the law of the world. But what about my brother? Why was he forced to die? Chronicles of Elaria. The last thing he said to me were these words. The title of a video game. What if death doesn't mean the end? What if instead of the end it’s the beginning? Each death is a new beginning. I wonder what my brother's new beginning is. For me, Death isn’t something I fear, I welcome it. After all, who doesn't want countless new beginnings each different from the last? I don't fear death, I resent it. For taking my brother or so I thought. But, What if he was in his new beginning, at this very moment? I would do anything in my power to find him. Anything. ** AN: Hey all, this is my first novel so go easy on me haha. I am open to any and all feedback, as it helps me grow as a writer. If you see any grammer mistakes or mispellings, let me know I will do my best to fix them as fast as possible. I was heavily inspired by the author Entrail_JI. Both of his works helped inspire me to write this so if you see any similarities I apologize. In Echoes of Death the main character, Damien, is thrown into the game Chronicles of Elaria. A game his brother loved and the last thing they every talked about. Damien doesn't know anything about the plot of the game or anything like that so don't expect him to. This novel can get dark as it deals a lot with death... like a lot, so if your not comfortable with that then this novel isn't for you. Serialization should come out to about 10 chapters a week? Maybe less, I am still a student and this isn't my main focus, but I still plan to put a lot of effort into this series so bear with me. Anyway thanks for checking out my novel and giving it the time of day

Claimed and Marked by the Lycan God

This is a R18 book. It has a good amount of romance and smut . ********************************** “Your scent,” he rasped, as if his wolf and human sides were colliding. “I can’t… resist…. I can’t resist your scent.” Selene’s back hit the wall, and she realized she had nowhere left to go. Lykos closed the distance between them, his body mere inches from hers. She could feel the heat radiating off him, matching the heat going through her body. His hand reached out, brushing against her cheek, and she flinched at the contact. His touch was surprisingly gentle giving the situation she found herself in. “I warned you Selene. And I tried to stay away,” he murmured, “But the bond… it’s too strong. You’re mine, Selene.” ********************************** Selene, a dedicated scholar of ancient civilizations, lives a life steeped in the study of forgotten histories. Her days are spent lecturing, researching, and immersing herself in texts that others often overlook. But everything changes when she stumbles upon an obscure article about the ancient ruins of Veyrath. A place long thought to be little more than a legend. What catches her attention is not just its ancient mystery, but the unsettling fact that it has been completely ignored by historians and archaeologists alike. Compelled by an inexplicable force, Selene sets out to uncover the truth behind the abandoned temple. As she explores its crumbling walls, she discovers a relic that awakens something within the temple. The ground trembles, the walls shift, and something ancient stirs beneath the earth, determined to reclaim what was once imprisoned…
