Lena always believed life was simple: work hard, protect her family, and keep her dreams small. But when her mother’s health takes a drastic turn, Lena faces an impossible choice. Desperate to save her, she accepts a deal from a ruthless CEO, Mr. Langston, who promises to cover her mother’s treatment—if she’ll spy on his business rival, Elias. Thrown into Elias’s world, Lena quickly learns he’s not just a cold-hearted CEO but a man scarred by betrayal and loneliness. As she grows closer to him, her loyalties waver. But when a stunning secret about her past comes to light, Lena’s whole life flips upside down. She isn’t who she thought she was—she’s the true heiress of the family fortune, stolen at birth by none other than her so-called “sister,” Vivian. Now, Lena must navigate a labyrinth of lies, forbidden love, and powerful enemies determined to keep her from her birthright. But with her heart caught between revenge and love, Lena realizes the truth is even more dangerous than she imagined. Will she claim her rightful place and find happiness, or will betrayal and ambition tear her life apart?

There is a girl I love, beyond measure, her name whispered in my every prayer. I sacrificed everything for her, and now I depart, my final act dedicated to her. In a realm beyond this life, if our souls should meet once more I pray earnestly for one thing—may the Divine decree that we never again walk the same path. Then why? “Excuse me? If you're done, can I use the tap?” Why did our path across again? If our fate was predetermined, why had I been granted this second chance? Why!? Why was I transported back to the past!?

[Matured Content] Saving an injured Fae in the forest had not been Islinda's plan, and worse, he turns out to be royalty, Prince Valerie of the summer court, heir and crown prince to the throne of Astaria. But then, humans were wary of those otherworldly creatures while the Fae looked down on the humans, thinking of them as lesser creatures. Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love.  Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him.  But then, the other one comes instead.  Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage.  Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured  Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize.  Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince.  But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart!  Or could he?  ________ "What can you offer me, little human," He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything.  "Please," She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, "Just let me go."  "Fine," He shrugged as if it was an easy request, "You can go."  "W-what?" She croaked, finding it hard to believe.  "Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily." Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath.  But did he really mean?  Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet.  She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming.  Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake.  This was never freedom.  It was a hunt.  And she just became the prey.  _________ Note: This is a dark fantasy book and the male lead is a villain, so don't expect fluffy romance. What to expect? Death, gore, thick sexual tension, and explicit scenes. Also, it is not reverse harem. Gift magic castle = 5 bonus chapters! Come, let us have a wild hunt! 

``` Salvar a un Fae herido en el bosque no había sido el plan de Islinda y, peor aún, resulta ser de la realeza, el Príncipe Valerie de la corte de verano, heredero y príncipe heredero al trono de Astaria. Pero entonces, los humanos desconfiaban de esas criaturas de otro mundo mientras que los Fae miraban a los humanos con desprecio, pensando en ellos como seres inferiores. Islinda y el príncipe eran mundos aparte pero eso no les impidió enamorarse. Lamentablemente, el Príncipe Valerie no podía quedarse en el reino humano para siempre y tuvo que regresar a su reino con la promesa de volver por ella. Y ella le creyó. Pero entonces, viene el otro en su lugar. Oscuro, taciturno, despiadado pero peligrosamente apuesto, todos temían al Príncipe Aldric. Aunque como un feroz guerrero e hijo del rey de Astaria, a Aldric se le niega su derecho al trono y está maldito a no tomar su lugar debido a su oscuro linaje. Retorcido desde adentro y hambriento de afecto, el Príncipe Aldric hace lo que mejor sabe hacer, causar miseria. Capturó a Islinda, la mujer que ha captado la atención de su hermano. La robó de su hogar para sus crueles propósitos. Si no podía tener el trono, al menos podría jugar con el interés amoroso de su hermano. Su nuevo premio. Islinda lo odiaba. Lo despreciaba por quitarle todo lo que podría haber tenido con el príncipe de verano. Él es el villano. Ahora ha sido arrastrada al medio de la sucia política que se juega en las cortes de Astaria, sin mencionar sobrevivir a los fríos juegos que juega el príncipe. Pero toda esperanza no se había perdido porque el príncipe cruel podía tentarla todo lo que quisiera, pero jamás iba a obtener lo que más desea. Ser amado. ¡Él nunca tendría su corazón! ¿O sí? ________ —¿Qué puedes ofrecerme, pequeño humano? —él sonrió, lento y cruel. Ella sería un juguete tan maravilloso. —Por favor —ella le rogó, las lágrimas ahora acumulándose en sus ojos—. Solo déjame ir. —Está bien —él se encogió de hombros como si fuera una solicitud fácil—. Puedes irte. —¿Q-qué? —ella musitó, le resultaba difícil creerlo. —Pequeño humano, descubrirás que mi mente cambia muy fácilmente —esas palabras sonaron misericordiosas, pero ella podía sentir la amenaza debajo. ¿Pero realmente lo decía en serio? Islinda no se quedó para averiguarlo ya que empezó a correr a toda velocidad. Si había la más mínima posibilidad de que él cambiara de opinión, entonces lo aprovecharía. Todavía no perdería la esperanza. Ella no sabía por qué, pero Islinda echó una mirada por encima de su hombro después de un rato y la sangre se le heló en el rostro al ver lo que se acercaba. Oh no, acababa de cometer un terrible error. Esto nunca fue libertad. Era una cacería. Y ella acababa de convertirse en la presa. _________ Nota: Este es un libro de fantasía oscura y el protagonista masculino es un villano, así que no esperes un romance meloso. ¿Qué esperar? Muerte, sangre, intensa tensión sexual y escenas explícitas. Además, no es harem inverso. ¡Castillo mágico como regalo = 5 capítulos de bonificación! ¡Ven, tengamos una cacería salvaje! ```

There he was. Theo. Swimming toward her. Almost naked her! She realizes. Her nervousness sky rocketed. She stays in place by treading water. Watching him swim. Waiting for him to reach her. She could see his muscles ripple like the waves he made with each stroke. He didn't care about touching her between her legs, why would he care now? She wasn't completely naked she thought to herself. She could handle him. Orion: "Why'd you take off without saying anything?" Theo asked. "I was feeling a bit hot, so I decided to take a swim. Why?" "You tell me? You're almost naked. Alone in a forest with a man whose also half naked and within arms reach." He said a smooth rough tone "that sounds problematic to me" "That sounds like your problem, not mine" I snorted. "Is that so?" He said with a thick devilish voice, "let’s see about that, huh?" Moments later his face was within inches from mine. I could almost taste his lips he was so close. I sucked in a deep breath I didn’t even realize I was holding my breath "Still think it's not your problem?" He teased me. Silence. I couldn't speak. He was so close to that he took away my words. His shirtless body so close it warmed the water near my breasts. My mouth hanging slightly open in awe at the man before me. His strong jawline framed so well by his wet hair. Water dripping from the ends. I find him staring at me. Looking not just at me but into me. It was like through my eyes he found away into my body. I was so drawn to this man. Whether it be the marks bond or me. I wanted him. I wanted him bad. And I could feel it, he wanted me just as much. I say "'you're right I guess it is my problem" and then I let go. I close my eyes and grab his face pressing his lips to mine. I gave in to my desire to have him. They were so soft and full. The kiss was full of need and desire. I was drowning in him. I don’t think it was possible for me to pull away in that moment. It was like something inside me was begging for something inside him. Theo: I wasn't prepared to see her floating in the middle of the lake. I could just make out the delicate features of her face and the outline of her body, her nearly naked body, in the lake. F*ck I was done for. She was going to break every ounce my self control by just existing around me with no clothes. I take off everything but my undergarments and dive in after her. Swimming to her I ask her about how it's dangerous to be in the water with a man almost naked. She said it was my problem. She has no idea how right she is about that. I was so hard being this close to her like this. So little clothing between us. She really was going to drive me crazy. Being with her set my insides on fire. I was throbbing for her. Craving to be inside her. In seconds I was inches from her face, the scent of her lust filling the air around us. I could hear her heart beating fast. And then she says, "you're right it is my problem" and then she kissed me. Holy f*ck she kissed me. Is kissing me. I bring her closer to me, pulling her mouth closer to mine. The first opening she makes in her mouth I slide my tongue in. Tasting her. My arms wrapped around her hands holding her back keeping her chest pinned to mine. And I devour her completely. I've wanted her like this since the moment she walked through that door in her father's office. We somehow make our way towards the water fall it was a little shallower so I could just stand with my chest just above the water. I put my hands on her ass and throw her up some making her legs wrap around my hips. I lean her against the mossy wall behind her. Kissing her deeper and deeper barely breathing, my d*ck was throbbing in my pants as she's rubbing her p*ssy against it. "If you don't stop I'm going to f*ck you right here and now." I growled at her, feeling the voice of predator deep inside me. If you want images of the characters check out the discord! Discord for this book: https://discord.gg/YsgYWTmN

'Fuck you fuck this fuck fuck fuck' She thought as she ran past the blazing street lights, her mind too occupied by thoughts to notice the dogs and car alarms blaring from a far. She finally slowed down, panting trying to catch air back into her lungs. She collapsed on a nearby bench looking up at the stars, slightly calming down by the sight of them. She closed her eyes enjoying the breeze going over her cooling her down. a Few minutes passed when her stomach churned, she felt uneasy, something was off. She quickly shot up to see a few men approaching her calling out to her. She swiftly got up and paced away from them whlie turning around to check if they were catching up. 'I need to get-' Suddenly she walked into someone, it was a man. She couldn't see much in the dark apart from a hat he was wearing. He was fairly tall and had a slightly intimidating air about him. "Hey lil lady wait up for us!" She heard a voice call out from behind her, she looked up at the stranger in a panicked pleading expression. He then hugged her to his side and whispered "Follow my lead."
