elenadeon1978 · Ongoing · 58.9k Words
Introduction
"You're the only one who can wake me. Now you'll carry my curse, and my crown."
When Aria Silverthorn's fiancé and stepsister publicly accused her of being Omega-born fraud, stripping her rank and dignity, she lost everything. Cast into the Forsaken Lands to die, she survived three months of hell—and desperation drove her to the forbidden Moonfall Crypt, where Alpha King Kael Nightfang has been entombed for five years.
The Council claims he died heroically. The truth? They poisoned him with wolfsbane silver, trapping him in death-sleep when he discovered their corruption.
When Aria touches his tomb seeking shelter, the impossible happens. He wakes—but only she can anchor him to life. Only her touch keeps him from slipping back into the void. Their bond is immediate, undeniable, and dangerous.
Kael should be dead. The Council made sure of it. For five years, his consciousness has been trapped between life and death, aware of every agonizing moment.
Until Aria.
She's his anchor. His prison. His salvation. And he's not letting her go, not when she's the key to his revenge and reclaiming his throne.
But their bond goes deeper than magic. They're true mates,a connection so rare it hasn't occurred in centuries. A bond the Council will kill to prevent, because true mates can challenge their entire corrupt system.
Chapter 1
Aria's POV
The champagne glass shattered against the marble floor.
I froze mid-laugh, watching golden liquid spread across pristine white stone like blood. Around me, three hundred guests fell silent. The orchestra's violins died with a screech.
Aria Silverthorn. Commander Thorne's voice cut through the ballroom like a blade. You're under arrest for fraud.
My heart stopped.
The main doors had crashed open. Twenty Council Guards flooded inside, silver weapons gleaming under crystal chandeliers. Commander Thorne stood at their center—tall, scarred, her face carved from stone and cruelty.
This couldn't be happening. Not tonight. Not at my engagement celebration.
There must be a mistake, I said, but my voice came out small and scared. I hated how weak I sounded.
Damon's hand tightened on mine. My fiancé—strong, handsome Damon with his warm brown eyes and gentle smile. He'd make this right. He'd tell them they were wrong.
No mistake. Thorne marched forward, boots echoing like thunder. She pulled out an official-looking document covered in red seals. Aria Silverthorn has been living a lie. She claims Beta rank, but evidence proves she's Omega-born.
Gasps erupted around me. Someone whispered Omega trash just loud enough to hear.
Heat flooded my face. That's not true!
Isn't it? Thorne thrust the paper toward my adoptive father, Lord Marcus Silverthorn. He stood near the gift table, his face turning purple with rage. Birth records don't lie. Your 'daughter' has been deceiving everyone for twenty-three years.
The room spun. This was insane. I was Beta-born. My parents died when I was a baby, but Father's family took me in. Raised me as their own. Gave me the Silverthorn name.
I looked at Father, desperate. Tell them. Tell them who I am!
Father's jaw worked. His hands clenched into fists. But he said nothing.
Cold dread settled in my stomach.
We found additional evidence in her quarters. Thorne snapped her fingers. Two guards dragged forward a wooden chest. They dumped it out. Papers scattered across the floor—documents with my handwriting, receipts, letters.
Forged birth certificates, Thorne announced, picking one up. Stolen official seals. Records of bribes paid to clerks to hide her real bloodline. She smiled, cruel and sharp. Quite the elaborate scheme.
I've never seen those before! My voice cracked. Someone planted them! This is a setup!
Everyone claims innocence, Thorne said, bored. But evidence doesn't lie.
The crowd murmured. Disapproving. Disgusted. People I'd known my whole life stared at me like I was something dirty they'd stepped in.
Damon. I grabbed his arm, desperate. Tell them. You know me. You know I wouldn't—
He pulled his arm free.
I stared at him. Damon?
His face was carefully blank. No anger. No surprise. Just... nothing. Like he was watching a stranger.
Damon, please.
I can't help you, Aria. His voice was flat. If the evidence says
The evidence is fake! I screamed. Tears burned my eyes. Someone set me up! Don't you care? We're getting married!
Were getting married, he corrected quietly. Too quietly. Like he'd practiced that line.
The world tilted sideways.
Ari... My stepsister Lyanna pushed through the crowd. Beautiful Lyanna with her golden hair and kind eyes. She looked like she'd been crying. Oh, Ari, I'm so sorry.
Relief crashed through me. Lyanna would help. She was my sister. My best friend. We'd shared everything since Father adopted me—secrets, clothes, dreams. She loved me.
Lyanna, tell them! I grabbed her hands. Tell them this is crazy!
Her lip trembled. Fresh tears spilled down her cheeks. I can't. I... Ari, I tried to protect you. I really did. But I can't ignore what I found.
My blood turned to ice. What?
I'm the one who discovered the documents. Her voice broke. In your room, hidden under the floorboards. At first I thought someone else put them there. I wanted to believe it wasn't true. But then I found more evidence. And more. And I... She sobbed. I had to tell Father. I had to tell the Council. I couldn't let you keep lying.
The floor dropped out from under me.
You? I whispered. You did this to me?
I'm so sorry. She squeezed my hands like we were still friends. Like she wasn't destroying my life. But it's better this way. Better than living a lie forever.
I yanked my hands free. How could you?
Before she could answer, Supreme Councilor Matthias stood from his seat at the high table. He was ancient and powerful, with silver hair and eyes like chips of ice.
The evidence is clear. His voice carried across the silent ballroom. Aria Silverthorn—or whatever her real name is—has committed fraud against the Seven Territories. She falsified her rank, deceived a noble family, and attempted to marry above her station through lies and manipulation.
No! I tried to run, but guards grabbed my arms. Please! I didn't do anything!
Matthias ignored me. As Supreme Councilor, I hereby strip this woman of the Silverthorn name and all associated rights and privileges.
Father finally spoke. I disown her. His voice shook with rage. She is no daughter of mine. I want her removed from my sight.
Pain stabbed through my chest so sharp I couldn't breathe.
The sentence for rank fraud is exile, Matthias continued. She will be cast into the Forsaken Lands at dawn.
The Forsaken Lands. Where exiles went to die. Where rogues and monsters ruled. No one survived there.
You're sentencing me to death! I screamed.
I'm giving you what you deserve. Matthias's smile was colder than winter. Take her away.
Guards dragged me toward the doors. I fought, screaming, begging. The crowd parted like I carried plague.
Through blurred tears, I saw Lyanna watching me go. For just a second, her sad expression slipped.
She smiled.
Quick and triumphant and vicious, before the mask of grief snapped back into place.
Then Damon stepped up beside her. His hand found hers. Their fingers intertwined.
And I understood.
They'd planned this. Together. My fiancé and my sister had destroyed me.
Why? I choked out.
Lyanna leaned into Damon's shoulder. He kissed her temple, tender and familiar. Like they'd done this a thousand times before.
Like I'd never mattered at all.
Commander Thorne grabbed my hair and yanked my head back. One more sound and I'll cut out your tongue.
The last thing I saw before they dragged me into the darkness was Lyanna wearing my engagement ring.
The one Damon had given me just hours ago.

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.

Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
