WHERE TEMPTATION BITES

Ravencrest High looks like a prestigious boarding school, but the truth is far from that. Hidden from humans, it is a training ground for young vampires to master self-control. Humans are enrolled alongside them, because they think it’s just an elite academic program. In reality, their presence keeps the vampires in check, providing occasional feeding opportunities under strict supervision. With the humans completely unaware. Lyra Hale is a new transfer student, hoping for nothing more than a fresh start. She expected a normal school environment. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by students who are weird and secretive. Kieran Black is everything Ravencrest warns against. A high-ranking vampire from one of the oldest bloodlines, he doesn’t believe in the rules meant to keep vampires in line. He sees the humans not as protected guests, but as tempting puzzles, and he can’t resist the effect Lyra has on him from the first moment he notices her. Lyra doesn’t know the truth about the school, the vampires, or Kieran. While she tries to survive in the school, Kieran is drawn to her in ways he can’t fully control. With the school having so much unbendable rules, even the authority can’t be trusted. And the most dangerous person on campus might also be the only one willing to protect her. At Ravencrest, temptation is constant, and love may be the most dangerous mistake of all. `•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`•|`•`•`• [Excerpt] Lyra was halfway down the east corridor, Ravencrest always felt different at night. She hugged her books closer to her chest and stopped when she turned a corner, someone stood at the end of the hall. One foot was propped up behind him, hands in his pockets, head slightly tilted. His eyes locked onto hers, dark and intense, like he had been waiting for her. The hallway suddenly felt smaller and tighter. “Kieran.” “You’re really good at pretending I don’t exist.” “Maybe because you keep showing up where you’re not supposed to be.” His eyes dropped to her lips for half a second before going back to her face. She took a step back as he stepped closer and she froze the second his hand closed over her wrist. Then just as her heart threatened to leap out of her chest, his thumb brushed against the delicate skin of her wrist. His touch sent a shock of warmth through her, a feeling she couldn’t quite figure out no matter how hard she tried. She tried to pull back, but before she could, he tugged her closer and suddenly, the space between them disappeared. Every instinct screamed to push him away, to step back, but she couldn’t. He was just too close. “Kieran…” she whispered, voice trembling. The faintest smirk tugging at the corner of his lips, and those enticing grey eyes that she felt drawn in every second she look at him, like gravity itself had shifted. The way he held her wrist and the way his thumb brushed against them, it was everything but safe. "What are you doing?" "I could kiss you." ***** Cover art is not mine.

My Stepbrother Wants Me

He’s her stepbrother, her sin and her biggest mistake waiting to happen. Catherine Brown thought moving in with her mother’s new husband couldn’t be harder until she met the cold, arrogant and sinfully attractive Julian Vaughn, her stepbrother. He hates her, teases her and gets under her skin everyday. He’s everything she should stay away from, off-limits and untouchable. But when his anger turns into something darker and hungrier, when he looks at her like he wants to ruin her innocence, Catherine realizes danger has a new name. And no matter how hard she tries, she can’t stop wanting the one man she’s not supposed to have. When hate turns to desire, who’s really in control? EXCERPT✨ “You’ve never had sex before?” Julian asked, disbelief flickering in his eyes. Catherine hesitated, then nodded, staring at the floor instead of him. He bit his lower lip, trying to rein in the thoughts crowding his mind. Goodness, she was too innocent for her own good. “So all you did with your previous boyfriends were just kisses and smooches?” She immediately stood, her cheeks flushed. “There are no boyfriends,” she blurted. “I’ve never even been kissed. Please don’t laugh at me.” Laugh? Hell no. Julian wasn’t laughing. He was fighting the urge to pull her close. Knowing she’d never been touched only made his hunger worse. She didn’t realize he’d moved until his breath brushed her ear, his voice dropping low and dangerous. “Catherine, just say the word and I’ll show you what it means to be touched by a man.” Her heart stuttered in her chest and he could hear every beat.

The Undead's Personal Slave

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

The Crowned Greed: Transmigrated into a Demonic Dragon

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

The Debt Keeper's Curse

Every spell has a price. He paid them all. In a world where magic demands brutal payment, nineteen year old Kael Ashren is a Debt Keeper, one of the cursed few who absorb the deadly consequences of others' spells into their own bodies. Black veins spread like disease. Pain becomes constant. Most die young. When a dying mage transfers 237 catastrophic war debts into him, Kael should have died instantly. Instead, he awakens black fire, a forbidden power that weaponizes debts themselves, burning through reality and his own lifespan with every use. Desperate to afford medicine for his dying sister, Kael is manipulated by The Broker, a mysterious figure who promises answers. Too late, he discovers the truth: The Broker is Kaelen Voss, the father who abandoned him and the architect of a conspiracy to destroy the debt system that has enslaved magic users for 5,000 years. Forced to participate in an assault on the capital, Kael's black fire rages out of control. A child burns. The act will haunt him forever. When Voss succeeds in shattering the debt system, he doesn't free humanity. He unleashes the ancient gods imprisoned within it. Reality fractures. Monsters pour through dimensional tears. To save the world, someone must become the Living Anchor: an eternal prison for all magical debts, suffering alone underwater forever. Kael volunteers. His sister Lira takes his place. Twenty years of her life, stolen. This is only the beginning. Over a century of battles follows. Kael defeats empires, gods, and cosmic entities. He ages from 45 to 1,000 years old in seconds. He absorbs one billion souls to pay humanity's karmic debt and becomes immortal against his will, condemned to hear a billion voices screaming in his mind for fifty years before finally earning death. But 150 years after Kael's sacrifice, the debt system reforms naturally. Twelve teenagers awaken as the first Debt Keepers in generations, including Riven Ashren, who inherits not just his ancestor's curse, but his devastating black fire. A rogue mage is hunting them. Testing them. Breaking them. And the debts humanity thought were paid are coming due again. A brutal 4,000 chapter epic of sacrifice, PTSD, moral complexity, and the terrible price of heroism. Where every spell costs blood. Every victory demands sacrifice. And some debts can never be repaid.
