Celeste Madeline

Devourer: Rise Beyond Celestial

[ Disclaimer: This book is very dark. Sensitive soul abstain. The protagonist is of the worst kind. It's just a fictional story, if it bothers you, past your way, don't come and insult me in the comments.] *** Raphael's heart skipped a beat, while Celest, unable to contain his fear, trembled in place, on the verge of giving in to panic. Linfer, however, observed them all with absolute detachment. In his eyes, their movements seemed slow, very slow. Even Luciel, moving at a speed close to that of light, appeared frozen in time. With a simple flap of his wings, Linfer floated on the surface of the sea of blood, indifferent to the slowness of those around him. His dark claws gleamed slightly as he raised his index finger to his forehead, where an Omega symbol was etched into his flesh. The symbol shimmered, emitting a terrifying aura, as a drop of black blood slowly emerged, suspended in mid-air. Silence enveloped the scene. In a barely audible whisper, yet resonating throughout the ninth heaven, " [Ashkharsh: All Red]" The drop of black blood finally fell. As it touched the surface of the bloody sea... Psychopath, hedonist, hemophage, Linfer, known as the Blood Devil, brought about Armageddon for humanity. His strength was such that it shook the most powerful beings. But his impulsiveness drew the attention of the Tree of Tao... transmigrating to an earlier time... "Young Master Bai! The Devourer has left traces in a kingdom of the lower plane!" "Gather the inner disciples! As servants of Tao, we must purge this evil, even if it means sacrificing ourselves!" "The younger generation is truly fortunate to have you!" "That's true~" A slight smile spread across his face. **** #romance #Smut #manipulation #evilMC #gore #r18 #mythology #cultivation #Harem

The Mafia Boss's Slave Wife

Important Note: This book is a slowburn romance with themes of trafficking, bloodshed, murder, and explicit content. Parental guidance is strongly advised. *** All her life, Celeste Caddell has been nothing more than a pawn in her own family's cruel games. Just when she thought she’d seen it all, she’s sold to a notorious trafficking syndicate, where she’s auctioned off to the highest bidder. To her surprise, that bidder is Nicolai Cassano, a powerful and ruthless mafia lord with his own agenda. Nicolai doesn’t offer Celeste pity or kindness—he offers her a deal: in exchange for her submissiveness, he will grant her the two things she craves most: revenge on those who wronged her, and the freedom she’s never known. What begins as a temporary alliance fueled by shared desire for vengeance begins to ignite into something more. But as their connection deepens, both Celeste and Nicolai must face the cost of their choices—an alliance that was supposed to be fleeting may change everything they thought they wanted. *** Excerpt: “You have two choices, kitty,” Nicolai’s voice was sharp, filled with power. “Take what I’m giving when I’m giving it, or go back to the syndicate.” Celeste’s blood turned to ice at the mention of the syndicate. Two nights in that hellhole had been enough to show her that there was no going back. Could she really let him return her there? Without hesitation, she shook her head. “One year, right? I’ll do it.” Nicolai scoffed. “Just as I thought, kitty. Just as I thought.” Celeste lowered her gaze, fighting back the tears. Deep down, she knew she was making a deal with the devil. But in this twisted game, she had no other choice. Either this, or nothing.
