Dangerous Games A Riley Jenson Guardian

Three rejections. Three shattered dreams. That was Layla’s reality, all because she was different—a half-shifter in a world obsessed with purity. Ostracized, shunned, and finally sold off like a pawn to the most feared ruler alive—the Lycan King. He was ruthless, a king with a graveyard of brides, each one a ghostly reminder of a fate worse than death. Layla loathed him. Hated the way his gaze cold and fathomless, held no warmth for her. Hated how his touch, both thrilling and terrifying, sent an uninvited chill down her spine. --- “I hate you!” I screamed, hands clenched so tight my knuckles ached. He sighed, a smirk curling at the edge of his lips, his tone mocking as he closed his book with a deliberate snap. “Stressed, are we?” he asked, strolling toward me, each step reminding me exactly who held the power here. “Lucky for you,” he drawled, rolling up his sleeves as he stopped just inches away, “I know exactly 70 ways to ease those nerves.” His fingers brushed my cheek, a touch that seemed to burn into my skin. “The first… a hug.” His voice dropped to a rough whisper as he leaned in, breath hot against my ear. “And the rest... well, that's 69? what do you say about that?" I swallowed hard, my heart thudding wildly as he tilted his head, waiting for me to react, that insufferable smirk still in place. “What’s the matter, darling?” he murmured, a taunt lingering in his gaze. --- A Dangerous Obsession Can she resist the pull, or will she dance into the flames of her own destruction? A dark dive into obsession, raw need, and the razor’s edge between desire and devastation. --- LYCAN KING CASSIAN I will tear her apart piece by piece, feeding the wildfire that grips her with each shuddered breath. Like air to flame, I’ll claim every inch, drawing heat from her skin until it sinks into her bones. Her pulse will race under my hands, her breaths shallow, pleading. Her eyes may scream, but her lips will still murmur my name. That first taste of fear will only feed something deeper—a need that burns through her veins, molten and fierce. And just when she’s too far gone to turn back, I’ll twist the knife, giving her the pain she’s learned to crave. She’ll be the moth to my flame, helpless against the very thing that will consume her.

For centuries, the Veil has stood as the final barrier between the world of the living and the infernal depths of Hell. Forged in forgotten ages, sealed in blood and bone, it has withstood the rise of darkness—but now it is breaking. Cracks spread through its foundation. Shadows seep through the fractures. Cities burn. Kingdoms fall. And the Guardians of the Veil—sworn to keep the world from ruin—stand alone against the tide of annihilation. At their head stands Nyroth Solvain, leader of the Guardians and the last shield between order and oblivion. His strength has held the darkness at bay for years. His blade has never failed. His will has never faltered. But now, another force begins to rise. His son. Elian Solvain, young and untested, carries within him power vast enough to shift the tide of war—or break it entirely. The world looks to him as a symbol of hope. The Guardians believe he may be their greatest weapon. And so does Nyroth. He does not doubt his son. He does not question his potential. He sees the strength in him, the light that could lead them all. But he has seen power like this before—raw, untamed, and capable of reshaping the world in both creation and ruin. Nyroth does not voice his fear. He does not waver. Instead, he hardens himself, shaping Elian into what he must become. Because if Elian does not master his power… it will master him. The Veil is dying. The darkness is rising. And time is running out. Elian must stand. The Guardians must hold. Or the world will fall into ash and ruin.

The Earth was shaken by the most powerful earthquake in recorded history—one so immense that its tremors were felt across the entire world. When the chaos subsided, humanity discovered something unimaginable: a colossal, seemingly endless Hole of impenetrable darkness. Driven by curiosity, countless expeditions were launched into what became known as The Abyss. Yet, most never returned. Those who did came back afflicted by a mysterious sickness—Abyss Corruption. While many perished, a few survived, emerging with extraordinary abilities that defied logic. These individuals, now known as Guardians, spearheaded a new era of technological advancement, harnessing the powerful resources found deep within the abyssal depths. A hundred years have passed since the Abyss first appeared. The Guardians, now an elite force, formed their own organization, led by the legendary Archie. One fateful night, Archie stumbled upon a ragged child claiming to have come from the Abyss itself. Skeptical but intrigued, he took the boy in and named him Lounis. What made Lounis extraordinary wasn’t just his immense potential—it was the fact that he wielded an ability despite never having entered the Abyss. Now, as a Guardian, Lounis embarks on perilous expeditions into the abyssal depths. But who is he truly? And what is his connection to the unfathomable entity known as The Abyss? The truth may change everything humanity thought it knew about its greatest mystery

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

[This book is complete] Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother? [WSA 2024 Entry]
