Introduction

Ness is tired of her predictable life—arguing with her family, working a dead-end job, and daydreaming about the kind of grand adventures she reads about in books. So when her best friend Joe suggests a trip to the infamous RoseWood Park, a forest rumored to swallow people whole, she doesn’t hesitate.

Trapped in a nightmare world where time moves differently, they encounter two boys who disappeared decades ago yet never aged.

The forest gives adventures... but at what cost?

Chapter 1

"I held her motionless body in my hands as I cried. It was finally over."

After reading this, I threw the book with the novel I was reading to the other side, lay down on the grass while looking at the sky, and waited for my friends to leave class as usual. Almost every day I do exactly the same thing, living in this silly city where nothing different happens even though the years go by, and I have lived here for the 19 years I have.

"I just wish something changed" I said while closing my eyes

Finally, after half an hour, my friends came out of class and joined me in the grass of that garden behind an old building of the college. We did our usual, playing cards and talking about things that had absolutely nothing to do with college, while we let the afternoon go by. Suddenly, it was getting dark again so we took our things and went to the bus stops that we had to take to go home. I crossed the street to get to my bus stop while I was looking at my bus arriving, it's a bit strange that I take it empty, but it sometimes happens anyway. I put my headphones on as I headed home and leaned my head against the window pane to feel like it was a little more dramatic than it really was.

I got off at the stop near my house, but I remembered that I had to buy something before I got home. It's already night, so I rushed to the nearest convenience store so I could buy some groceries along with some soft drinks to go home. While I was walking I felt the atmosphere a bit dense, as if there was something or someone watching me, but I turned to look everywhere and there were simply trees along the blocks that were missing to get to my apartment. I finally got to my apartment and rang the bell to announce that I was back, I went up the stairs to the second floor and when I opened the door something hit me. It only took me a couple of seconds to realize that it was my roomie waiting for me to come back home.

"I will kill you"I said while letting my backpack on the floor and picking up the pillow he just threw at me, to throw it back at him.

Just a few months ago I moved out of my parent's house, for my mental health, to live with my best friend. I had barely been 18 years old when I decided that I had to leave home, my parents really didn't take it well and since I left we haven't talked, however, I feel good about the decision I made, although now without being able to argue with my parents every day seems to repeat itself sequentially. I wake up, go to college or work and then end up back here, it seems like an endless cycle that will never end.

"What are you thinking about so much?" Joe asked me, looking curious.

"Nothing, just mulling things over, it doesn't matter," I said, lying to both of us.

"Are you okay? Do you want to watch a movie?" he asked enthusiastically.

I smiled as I watched Joe head to the kitchen to make some instant soups so we could watch some movies for a while.

Stepping aside to give a little bit of context! My name is Ness, I am 19 years old, and work in a call center, that's where I met my best friend, Joseph, 10 months ago. We made an instant connection and since he lived in another city and had to travel daily 2 hours for work, he decided to move into the city, that's about the time I decided I had to leave home, as I was used to arguing with my parents and siblings. I also go to college and study Arts, so my daily routine looks like: Wake up - Goes to college morning - Goes to work - Gets home at 2 AM to sleep - And then again and again.

Joe is 21 years old, he has a very complicated relationship with his mother. He and his boyfriend had a fight a few months ago, which is why we became even closer, as we spent time at home only watching movies, eating ice cream and occasionally telling spookie stories.

There's one thing we always agree on, and perhaps that's why we're so close and understand each other so well. We'd both love to live a great adventure, like the ones you read about in webcomics or typical novels, that's why we decided to give it a try.

There's a forest that's supposedly haunted. Locals say people enter it and return days or even a year later, talking about things no one has ever seen, uttering nonsense, and that most have gone mad after spending several hours there. Fortunately, the locals have embraced this legend as a tourist attraction, something we're taking advantage of, as we found a cabin to stay at a pretty good price. For obvious reasons, the cabin is not exactly at the woods, but at a place that is around 15 minutes away, that it was our best shot in this place. Cheaper means more dangerous.

Joe came back with our soups and took his tablet, he started looking into something that he seems to have already saved for later before.

"Okay, listen. I've been looking for more information about the forest. Check this out: 'Rosewood Park: The Unexplained,' a bit about the legend and its context," Joe said in a sinister tone.

"Play it! Is it a long video?" I asked.

"I think it's long enough to get us to eat and become more interested in this place," he said with a smile.

"Sure, I'm in," I smiled.

"Many people have heard of RoseWood Park, but few know the true legend that surrounds it..."

Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display.

The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands.

It was meant to destroy me.

So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.

Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born.

"Ten years of atonement, and you flee?"

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.

"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.

"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."

I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.

"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.

From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.

Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.

Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
