Sweeter Than

His magnificently beautiful eyes looked into mine with possessiveness. I exhaled out a shuddered breath, and he grabbed my jaw. “This is not who you are to me, Isabella. And I want more than what we have. Understood?” The dominance in his tone was obvious, while his words sounded like a fantasy I’ve always dreamt of. More than what we have. More than step-brother. ______________________________ I, a 19-year-old girl, had always had a secret crush on someone I shouldn’t have. That’s right—it was none other than Achilles Roman, my stepbrother, who was two years older than me. I had kept my feelings dumped in a Tupperware box for as long as I could remember. But how could I control myself when he himself started making moves on me? And what should I do when I realize that he was nowhere near the Achilles I thought I knew? Read to find out.

Kael, the warrior chosen by prophecy, is terrified of fighting. His partner? A talking sword named Tharon, composed entirely of sarcasm and unshakable self-confidence. They have no interest in saving the world. If anything, the world seems hell-bent on killing them first. Absurd quests. A broken guild system. Emotionally unstable crops. What people call “adventuring” is, in reality, a daily struggle to barely survive the nightmare. Bound together by prophecy, a cowardly man and a venom-tongued sword. They clash constantly—but have no choice but to keep walking side by side. And step by step, they unknowingly inch closer to the heart of the world’s unraveling. A man haunted by the past. A sword that gave up on the future. Will their journey become someone’s hope? Or is it just a drawn-out spiral into failure? Either way, they keep messing things up—accidentally saving people’s lives, accidentally ruining someone’s master plan. Life is annoying like that. Tharon says: “You’re useless. But no weapon out there is better than me.” Kael thinks: “Did you really need to say that right now?” Still, they walk on. Begrudgingly. This is the story of a man who couldn’t become a hero, and the sword that gave up believing in them. A tragicomic tale of irony, despair, and just a flicker of hope. The kind that leaves you unsure whether to laugh or cry. “Become a hero? You’ve got the wrong guy. I can barely get out of bed in the morning.”

She smells like everything they could want... ...and everything they’re forbidden to want at the same time. In a university known for its wild parties and secrets, a girl who reeks of an herb no one can quite identify and a masked innocence appears. And three 'vampire' brothers find themselves torn between hunger, desire, guilt, and something dangerously close to love. Toph, the eldest, knows better than to get involved. After all, he's spent lifetimes suppressing his desire for virgin blood. But something about her scent stirs his insides, including memories of a curse they’ve spent centuries avoiding. As forbidden bonds form and supernatural instincts fracture, desire becomes a risk neither of the brothers can afford. Because some hungers were never meant to be satisfied. And while they struggle to resist her, the Gold Coast begins to unravel. Six people have gone missing, their bodies later found ritualistically posed in the hinterland. Whispers of a growing occult presence are surfacing, hinting that the brothers’ past may be clawing its way back into the present. What if their past isn’t behind them? What if she’s the key to it all?

You don’t have to break me to keep me.” Ava loved him deeply. Gave him her time, her loyalty, and her heart. But to Jayden, she was always second the backup plan. The "maybe." The girl he only noticed when he was lonely. After one too many broken promises, Ava finally walks away. Not because she stopped loving him but because she finally started loving herself. Now, she’s rebuilding her life piece by piece. No more begging. No more waiting. No more half-love. And just when she’s not looking for anyone new… Elijah walks in. Calm. Steady. Different. He doesn't chase. He doesn’t play games. He sees her not as a backup, but as the main story. But can Ava open her heart again after everything she’s survived? Or will the past try to pull her back just when she’s ready for the love she truly deserves?

They called him “Demon.” A teacher too young, too beautiful — and far too dangerous for hearts still learning to beat. Rin was soft‑hearted, all smiles and quiet hope, never seeing the shadow behind kindness. In a crowded classroom, a simple question — “What’s your address?” — became the start of something darker than first love, softer than fear, and sharper than any warning. She thought she could handle borrowed pens and gentle jokes. But Demon was more than a name; it was a truth waiting to unfold. This is not a story about perfect love or sweet confessions. It is about how predators smile, how innocence willingly steps closer, and how a single glance can shatter years of gentle hope. A raw, emotional retelling — part memory, part confession — of a girl who loved and a man who should never have reached back. Genres: Dark Realism • Psychological • Coming‑of‑Age • Slow Burn • Real‑life

Before a woman sits on the throne… sometimes, she must rise from the ashes first. A maid who speaks less than the truth — and a princess who sells secrets more precious than gold. Within the walls of the palace, something is hidden… something powerful enough to turn enemies into pawns — if one can figure out who’s really holding the board. Intrigue, betrayal, and loyalty twist together like thorns in a game where every move is deadlier than the last. Who seeks no revenge? Who truly deserves the crown? And who is the real queen — the one they burned… or the one who watches in silence? This is a tale of royal blood… Where the crown lies not just on the head — but in wit, patience, and vengeance.

Everly was raised as a slave in the brutal Ironfang Pack, believed to be nothing more than a discarded human child. Powerless. Worthless. Forgotten. But they’re wrong. At fourteen, Everly secretly shifted, something no "human" should be able to do and met Selene, the wolf spirit hiding deep inside her. A secret she's guarded with her life. Now, as her eighteenth birthday looms and the pack prepares for a ritual that will change everything, Everly’s quiet pain is about to shatter. She’s more than they ever feared. More than even she understands. And when her fated mate, the King of Werewolves himself, enters the picture, her past and her power will awaken with a vengeance. But first, she must survive the place that tried to break her.

She married a poor man to escape her powerful family. He married a stranger for money. Neither expected love. Neither knew their lives were about to change forever. Lianne Mwikali is a billionaire heiress hiding behind second-hand clothes and a broken heart. After being betrayed by her fiancé and forced into an arranged marriage by her cold, political family, she makes a desperate choice: marry a random man from the streets of Nairobi. Enter Brian Otieno, a jobless but kind-hearted hustler struggling to survive in Kibera. When a strange woman offers him a marriage contract — one year, no love, monthly payment — he signs, thinking it’s just business. But nothing is ever simple. As they navigate their fake marriage, emotions blur, secrets pile up, and Brian begins to suspect the quiet woman he lives with isn’t who she claims to be. When the truth comes out — that his “broke” wife is one of the richest and most powerful women in East Africa — will their contract survive? Or will love tear it apart?

One reunion. Countless secrets. After years apart, four best friends reunite for a dreamy vacation abroad, planning to relive their golden memories before life pulls them in different directions.

Behind their laughter and love stories lie loaded secrets: each of them is part of a powerful underground mafia empire, trained to protect, deceive, and survive. But in a city far from home, where the past collides with the present, old flames return, trust is tested, and falling in love could mean falling into a trap. Because no one leaves the mafia. Not even for love.

[Warning: Mature Content R18+] The taste of forbidden love is the sweetest agony!! They were fucking right. I, Frery Kane was whipped and captivated by a Lycan Shifter from the Bay Shifter pack in Paradise Bay. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, an irresistible pull I couldn’t deny. Alpha Tor Gale, a Lycan Shifter of unparalleled strength, only of his kind, his blood as intoxicating as ambrosia, his presence a temptation, I couldn’t escape. He made me crave more than I should or was allowed. In Paradise Bay, Vampires and Shifters are bound by ancient laws, their rivalry etched into the marrow of our existence. To meet him was to defy centuries of hatred; to love him was to risk everything. Each secret meeting was a dance with death, a betrayal of the Paradise Vampire Coven, and a rebellion against the laws that chained us. But Tor was my forbidden desire, my beautiful torment, and my greatest weakness. I knew the cost of this love, a love that could ignite war and destroy us both. But how could I resist the one thing that made my immortal heart beat once more? Excerpt from Alpha Tor's POV: “So you’ve been following me,” Tor’s deep growl echoed in the icy cavern. His golden eyes caught the flicker of torchlight. His breath misted in the freezing air, curling like smoke between them. “What gave me away?” I responded my voice as low, deep, and steady. Tor laughed a deep rumble that shook the cavern walls. “You reek of desperation. Do you think I didn’t notice your scent clinging to the trees? Are your footprints melting the frost? What is it, vampire? What do you want from me?” My jaw clenched and my gaze didn’t waver. “Your blood,” I taunted as my voice was laced with coldness to see if he could be threatened by my words. “Your kind is... intoxicating. Forbidden. I can’t stop myself.” I expected him to cover but he stepped forward and responded “If it’s my blood you want,” he murmured, his voice low and teasing, “then come closer and take what you need” The words struck me like lightning, and a fiery heat surged through my veins. My beast clawed at my control, drawn to him in a way that defied logic. His gaze held mine, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t know whether to run or to stay. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, they called me a betrayer. A traitor to the Paradise Vampire Coven. But how could I hold back when I had tasted something far sweeter than immortality? Alpha Tor was my forbidden fruit, the Lycan Shifter Alpha who defied everything I was taught to hate. But when I surged forward, ready to face anyone who dared stand between us, fate revealed the old prophecy hidden in Hanka Island. Alpha Tor wasn’t just my lover, he was my lifetime mate, our bond blessed by the ancient magic of Hanka Island itself. And our love was not meant to follow the rules, it was meant to break them.

**Content warning: Language discretion advised** I died a useless death. I was tortured all the days I lived then after my role as a scapegoat was finished I was put to death. Only at death did I feel hatred. I was angry not only at the bastards that killed me but also at myself for being meek. I wanted to fight back but I was too scared. I should have been brave and stood up for myself. This is a lesson I will never forget. Regressing was the unexpected answer I received. Whether it be a gift or misfortune, watch me use it to the fullest. At each checkpoint, I will only grow stronger, more determined. Revenge is much sweeter than honey after all. I will not forget the past but use it to my advantage. I will be the one to shape my fate and take my life back. I will never be scared again.

She wasn’t meant to stand in the spotlight. Not with her raw voice, untamed spirit, and a heart that refused to bend to the rules of fame. But when the world tried to silence her, she sang louder. In a glittering industry built on perfection, she chose truth — even when it came at the cost of love, reputation, and her place on the stage. He saw her fire before she did. He stood by her when no one else dared. But when pressure cracked their fragile connection, he let go… and she was forced to rise alone. Through whispered betrayals, haunting melodies, and a silence heavier than any applause, she discovers that freedom is not the absence of pain — but the decision to sing through it anyway. And when he returns — too late, too tender, and yet still hers — they share one final kiss that doesn’t save them… but leaves a note behind that no one else will ever hear. More Than Free is a heartbreaking and luminous story of self-discovery, first love, and the music that remains long after the song ends.
