The Alpha's Fated Luna

"What did you see?" Alpha Draco growled, terror flashing in his eyes. I moved towards him, my hands shaking uncontrollably with the tray of coffee. "I didn’t see anything, I swear," I whispered, trying to look away from the sharp fangs glinting on his fingers. Elara, the fated Luna to the Alpha, was sent as an agent—an invisible shadow within the clan—to spy on and destroy the very people who shattered her family. Taking the role of a lowly maid and housekeeper, she blends into the background, underestimated and unseen, all while carrying the weight of her dangerous mission. But the Alpha she serves harbors a secret no one else knows. Draco is gripped by a chilling fear—if he doesn’t find his true mate soon, he will lose himself to the wild wolf inside, becoming a feral beast with nothing left to control him. As Elara moves deeper into the heart of the clan, she finds herself drawn to the tortured Alpha, their fates tangled by destiny and deception. Every day is a perilous balance between duty and desire, truth and lies. The tension is electric, the danger immediate, and the price of failure is death. With enemies hidden in plain sight, alliances shifting like shadows, and her mission threatening to unravel at any moment, Elara must decide—can she complete her vengeance, or will the powerful bond between Alpha and Luna destroy everything she’s fought for? In a world where trust is fragile and survival is never guaranteed, Elara faces the ultimate question: how far will she go to protect her family’s legacy—and what will she risk to save the Alpha from the beast within?

Doom of the Unworthy

In a world where destiny is written by divine decree, where children receive their Fate from the gods themselves—knights, mages, healers, and rulers—one boy stands cursed by emptiness. Runalt Raelthorn, the eldest son of the mighty Duke of Valdoria, should have been a legend. Born into the wealthiest, most powerful family in the kingdom, he was expected to inherit greatness. But when the day of Fate arrived—when every child stepped into the holy Sanctuary to receive the mark of their destiny—Runalt’s mark was empty. No talent. No power. No future. In a society ruled by strength and skill, where the strong protect the city from monsters beyond the magical gates, an "Empty One" is worse than worthless. It is a curse. A disgrace. A danger. Now, the city turns on him—peasants hurling stones, nobles whispering behind closed doors, and his own family preparing to cast him aside. His uncle plots to seize the Raelthorn estate. The council doubts his right to lead. Even his own father, Duke Caldras, stands distant, unable—or unwilling—to protect him from the storm brewing in Valdoria. Yet not all is as it seems. Beneath Runalt’s calm, cold gaze lies a secret: a dark power, ancient and waiting, a demon’s whisper curled in the depths of his soul. For years, Runalt has buried his pain, swallowed his anger, endured the scorn of the world. But the hatred of the city, the betrayal of his blood, and the looming threat of the monsters beyond the gates have stirred the beast within. Runalt may be the Unworthy now—but when the time comes, the world will tremble. As power struggles erupt within House Raelthorn, secrets surrounding his younger sister Alise begin to surface. Questions arise: Is she truly his sister? Or a pawn in a greater scheme? And his loyal maid Elira—what truths does she hide behind her cold, sharp eyes? Monsters threaten the city. Enemies lurk within the walls. And Runalt… Runalt will either become Valdoria’s salvation—or its destruction. Doom of the Unworthy is a dark fantasy tale of betrayal, vengeance, and a cursed destiny that refuses to bow. Prepare for a story where power is everything, loyalty is a lie, and fate itself can shatter beneath the weight of a hidden darkness.

Withered have the Seasons of Vast Breath

Deep within the icy stone walls of the castle, a boy named Vecillious existed unseen and unloved. He was the Emperor's son—though no one would speak it aloud—a child born into silence and darkness. Neglected by those who should have cherished him, he grew up with only loneliness and pain as his friend. His frame was gaunt with starvation, his soul beaten by the inhumanity of those who dictated his life with brutality and hardness. No comforting words ever came to him, no soft touch. Only leftover bits of compassion flung his way, as if he were something less than human. Yet somehow, he lived—grasping on to life with determination, even when all was lost. One evening, when the burden of grief had become too much to carry, Vecillious did what no one had anticipated: he fled. He escaped through the gates of the castle, away from the gossips and the sanctions, pursuing a liberty he hardly comprehended. But in the open, the world was too much—too loud, too bright, and too full of happiness that he couldn't be a part of. His heart quivered under the waves of new vibrations and light. Lost among the throng of an active festival, Vecillious found no solace. Rather, he stepped into a silent, black alleyway where the tears he had held in reserve broke forth at last. He wept not because he was feeble, but because his unspoken struggles had exhausted him. It was there that fortune had its way. Acheros, a young boy who was kind and mild but bore his own silent pain, discovered Vecillious. The gentle light of a lantern illuminated their encounter, and with cautious tone, Acheros extended himself. It was in that vulnerable instant that two lonely hearts met. Vecillious, with all his well-concealed wounds and his secrets, and Acheros, with goodness that required nothing back. Through shattered sentences and their common sorrow, Vecillious's reality was revealed—not as shame, but as something alive and palpable. They were not alone, for the first time, perhaps. But even in that little light, one question suspended between them—when two broken boys collide, will they discover salvation in one another… or awaken the storm that may alter everything? And what if the road they are on is paved with blunders that cannot be reversed? How does one walk with regret and somehow manage to move onward?
