A Werewolf's Unexpected Mate

[Trigger Warning: This dark fantasy romance contains mature themes.] --- SYNOPSIS: •A WOLRD BUILT ON SECRETS• Long ago, humans lived unaware of the supernatural beings hidden among them—werewolves with their primal instincts, witches whispering spells in the dark, and elves with their ancient, watchful eyes. For centuries, they coexisted in fragile silence. Then, everything shattered. Near the shadow-drenced woods of the Shadow pack kingdom, human traveler stumbled upon a gruesome scene: an old woman’s lifeless body, her skin ashen, her wounds gaping like accusations. A few paces away lay a dead werewolf, its throat ripped open, its muzzle still flecked with blood. The truth was undeniable—monsters walked among them. Fear ignited war. The humans, armed with fire and steel, hunted the werewolves. The conflict dragged witches and elves into the slaughter, their homes burned, their people slaughtered. Years of bloodshed stained the earth until human King Alfred V of the Amethyst Kingdom stood before the four werewolf rulers—the Silverhowl, Crimsonheart, Shadow, and Wildfire Kings—and demanded an end. His proposal was a silk-wrapped blade: every twenty years, each human family would sacrifice a daughter to the werewolves to ensure the peace of their kind. The werewolves agreed. The war ceased. The witches and elves retreated, their hatred for the werewolves festering like an unhealed wound. But the so-called "peace" was a lie. The world remained fractured, its people bound by fear and resentment. The cycle of violence merely wore a different mask. --- •THE PROPHECY OF FIRE• In the hidden Blaze Tribe, where crimson eyes burned like embers, the seer Prophetia foresaw annihilation. "Our people will fall," she rasped, her voice trembling. "But from the ashes, a girl will rise—the one who will bring true peace… and the one they will slaughter for it." The tribe made a desperate pact. They would cast a spell—a curse of forgotten memory—erasing their existence from the world’s mind. Their souls would be the price, but their legacy would live on in Ovelia, the child of prophecy. The night the Blaze Tribe fell, Ovelia’s parents hid her in the whispering forest, their hands shaking as they sealed a goddess—Firera—inside her infant body. Then, they turned to face their doom. [Author: Okay, Firera, stop glaring. You’re not the villain here.] [Firera: "Then why does it sound like I am?!"] --- •FATE’S CRUEL WHISPER• Ace Draven, the half-werewolf, half-witch prince of Silverhowl, had never believed in fate—until he found a crying infant beneath the gnarled roots of an ancient tree. His wolf, Fenrir, howled in recognition. A crimson thread shimmered between them—mates. But Firera, watching from within Ovelia’s soul, snarled. "She’s a child. This is too soon." With a flick of her wrist and spell, she tore the memory from Ace’s mind, leaving only an empty ache in his chest. [Firera: "I regret nothing."] [Author: "You’re making this difficult."] --- •TWENTY YEARS LATER: A SACRIFICE AND A RECKONING• Ovelia, now a woman with fire in her veins and scars on her spirit, has been raised as a slave by the mayor of Timberline Village—a man who would sooner sacrifice her to the werewolves than let his own daughter suffer. The night of the sacrifice, the air reeks of damp earth and iron. Torches flicker as the werewolves emerge from the shadows. And then—Ace Draven steps forward. Their eyes meet. Fenrir *howls*. Ace’s claws unsheathe, his breath ragged. "You…" He doesn’t understand why his wolf is clawing at his ribs, why his pulse hammers at the sight of this stranger. But the thread between them burns brighter than ever. Ovelia doesn’t know him. He doesn’t remember her. And yet, the bond is undeniable.

Florence, 1493. As the Renaissance bathes Italy in light through masterpieces, inventions, and intellectual revolutions, a much older and darker war simmers in the cobbled streets and hidden palazzos. Esmé Loredan, the daughter of a glass artisan, dreams of a life far beyond the one laid out for her. Beautiful, red-haired with emerald eyes, bold and sharp-witted, she draws attention—and trouble.

When a string of brutal murders strikes the city, suspicion falls upon the “half-bloods,” beings born of humans and vampires. Esmé finds herself entangled in the mystery, for she possesses a rare gift: the ability to see through the illusions cast by creatures of the night. Forced to work with Luca to uncover the truth—and secrets buried in her own past—Esmé is drawn into a world of deception, danger… and desire. Their relationship, prickly at first, simmers into a slow-burning dance of forbidden looks, sharp words, and deepening trust. One truth will surface—one that could change everything. And one of them will have to choose: love… or blood.

Villainess is being pampered by her beast husbands

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ... Just when Kaya thought her story had finally reached its bitter end, the universe—no, god himself—decided to throw in one last, ridiculous twist. “Wife… wife, didn’t you say you were gonna eat me? Why’d you stop?” A snake beast, ridiculously charming and glowing like some immortal fantasy, clung to her, eyes gleaming. Another voice interrupted. “Shut up! My wife wants to cuddle me now—” A sparrow beastman leapt into her arms, like that made any sense. “Hic… wife, don’t you want me anymore?” A panda-like beastman sat beside her, huge, sniffly, and wronged like a child abandoned at a festival. Sitting in the middle of all this, Kaya was absolutely dumbfounded. ‘When the hell did all of this even start?’

The Karmic Comeback: Capture the Beast and Turn the Tides

After enduring three lifetimes of hardships and bloodshed, Bai Feiyin was promised with glitters and rainbows in her fourth life by none other than her contracted beast after it ascends. But before she could even achieve her goal, everything went down the drain as she decided not to fall victim into what...? A con-artist's trap?! "What a bull!" Thrown into a backward existence, she can only grit her teeth and pull a hankerchief in rage. Since she can't directly blame the gods, Bai Feiyin swear to get back with her so-called companion beast. "Argh! Y-you treacherous snake! I knew from the start that you couldn't be trusted! I should have roasted you when I saw you dying the first time we met, not signing that sham contract and work with you to ascend!" The anger in her system didn't subside. "You sent me back to my first life? For real? Wow, wow fantastic! What perfect shit!"  She specifically told him not in this life, that despicable man! "So you want to toy with me? Then be it! I will scour the mountains and hunt you down! I don't believe that I go back in time, you, my contracted beast won't go back as well," she uttered resolutely. Face beet red, burning in rage, she stared intently at the pigeon bloodstone inside her palms with a mark of a serpent's slitted eyes. "Those two other lives filled with war and bloodshed weren't lived in vain. Since you've sent me here, I will bury you along with those greedy pigs from the Bai Main Branch who owe me and my family four lifetimes' worth of debts!" Not long after she bemoaned, "Hmm, no hold on." Revealing a bit rather conflicted look, she tried to suppress her ire upon cooking up something like a shrewd mastermind. "On the second thought, just burying Hong with that regretfully good-looking face of his would be such a pity..." she pondered, but very soon snapped with glee. "Fine, it's a wrap! I will capture that little snake and work his ass like he did to me!" Bai Feiyin, looking like a greedy hyena, found her resolved with bright twinkling eyes that casted away the shadows under her swollen eyes. "Let's sell him off to some rich aunties and get lots of dowries!" *** This will include beastmen but in the form of spirit beasts. There's a hint of cultivation but just subtle that's why I didn't add it as a tag. Please support me thank you!

Sold to Conquer: Bride of the Enigmas

[Beastmen, reverse-harem, R-18+] *** They called her blessed. Chosen. A savior of their dying bloodlines. But what savior was locked behind walls? What kind of honor smelled like rot and desperation? Through the past centuries, the Hale Family was one of the last ancient lineages with thick, untainted alpha strands able to produce Spirit Beast Maidens who became brides of the ruling archons in the beast world. The females born to them were fated—no, bred—to carry the next generation of Enigmas to keep the bloodline purity at all cost. Now, it was Asha Hale's turn. People often tell she was fortunate to be born with a diamond spoon. Yet deep in her soul, Asha knew how her fate was much worse than a lowborn. She was a relic in a museum. A commodity. A cage bird waiting to be sold. Born to breed. Raised to birth. Destined to be a broodmare and conceive some strangers'— those beastly creatures' offsprings. 'A broodmare...' The words echoed in her mind like bile on her tongue. No matter how much they smear gold and glimmers to cover her inevitable truth, Asha already knew how much more dreary her future was than that of a homeless person. She was born a prisoner of an accursed future woven by the pact her ancestors made with the beastmen of Genos. There, she reckons how life is unjust for the weaklings and Asha could only rely on herself to survive this ordeal. Since those beasts wanted to use her to secure power, then she’d make sure they regretted it. For as long as she could stay alive, she’d make them bleed for her. Crave her. Until their whole damned world tore itself apart for making entire life just unbearably shitty to live in. Or so she intended.

Reborn to tame the beast

Pearl, an orphan and the only daughter of her family, lived a life of submission, humility, and blind love—until betrayal shattered her world. Her boyfriend, whom she loved deeply, used her innocence and planned her tragic death. In a twist of cruel fate, she watched as he walked away from the accident with a smirk, hand in hand with her best friend. She’d seen the signs but ignored them all. In her final breath, Pearl begged for another chance—not to live in meekness again, but to explore life fully and fearlessly. Her wish was granted. Reborn into a primitive world where tradition ruled, machines didn’t exist, and beasts walked among men, Pearl found herself as the second, sickly daughter of a human chief. Her sister, Mia—eerily resembling her treacherous best friend—tormented her relentlessly, envious of her beauty and betrothal to a noble named Jude. When Pearl realized Jude, who looked exactly like her ex-boyfriend, was also having an affair with Mia, she broke off the engagement and did the unthinkable—agreed to marry Kai, the cold, rare, and stunning chief of the Beast World, a Siberian tiger shifter. But Pearl was no longer weak or naïve. Her marriage to Kai, once seen as a sacrifice, became her liberation. The Beast World, full of towering mountains, fierce creatures, and ancient traditions, awakened Pearl’s potential. She began inventing, cooking, and transforming lives with knowledge from her past life. Kai, drawn to her strength and beauty, fell deeper under her spell—just as she did with him. But peace never lasts. Jealous beast women, especially the cunning Sola, tried to sabotage Pearl. Rivals from both worlds, like Jude and Mia, returned to steal what they’d lost. A mysterious fox shifter, Luc, vied for her affection. A bitter dragon queen, Isolde, unleashed chaos to lure out the Dragon Guardian—the last of their kind. And the secret? Pearl is the Dragon Guardian. Hidden even from herself, her true bloodline holds the power to command dragons, tip the balance of both worlds, and ignite ancient prophecies long buried. Now, as war brews and ancient enemies rise, Pearl must embrace her identity—not as a sickly second daughter or pawn in a treaty—but as a powerful woman, wife, mother, and the final hope of a crumbling world.
