betrayed

In 21st-century Lagos, cutthroat businesswoman Zara Adeyemi is poisoned by a backstabbing partner on the eve of her biggest deal. Her dying curse becomes destiny when she awakens as 15-year-old Princess Aminatu of Zazzau in 1550 CE—complete with the overpowered Empire Dominion System that grants her modern tactics, superhuman strength, seductive charisma stats, and the rare ability to bind ancient Hausa jinn spirits of smokeless fire. No longer a pawn in a man’s world, Amina rewrites history with blood, brilliance, and breathtaking passion. She trains in secret, slays misogynistic nobles who dare underestimate her, leads thunderous cavalry charges across the savanna, and forges the greatest West African empire the world has ever seen. But conquest isn’t only about territory. Five (and eventually more) devastatingly handsome, fiercely loyal men—each a king, warrior, sorcerer, or jinn in his own right—will fall to their knees before their one true queen. From sweat-soaked nights in royal tents after victory to jealous rivalries that only make the passion hotter, Amina claims them all: body, heart, and soul. Packed with explosive battles, political scheming, jinn-summoned magic, slow-burn-to-explosive reverse harem romance, system level-ups, face-slapping arrogance, and steamy adult scenes that leave nothing to the imagination, this is the ultimate historical fantasy webnovel where the Warrior Queen doesn’t choose—she conquers, seduces, and rules forever. Will Amina’s empire span from the Sahara to the forests of the south, or will an ancient jinn prophecy and jealous gods bring it all crashing down? The queen is rising… and she’s taking the world—and her men—with her.

[The Death Sentence] In the Age of Ash, a kiss is not a promise. It is a death sentence. Elara is the last Silver Kyuubi—a mythic predator who thrives on the souls of the wicked. She doesn't hunt with steel; she hunts with her body. One night of ecstasy, one touch of her silk-silver skin, and your life essence is hers to devour. To the warlords of the world, she is the ultimate prize. To their corpses, she is the last thing they ever loved. [The Hunter’s Obsession] Draven Blackwood is the law of the North. A ruthless Warlord and the High Exorcist, he has spent a thousand years scrubbing her kind from the earth. He knows her scent. He knows her lies. He should have burned her the moment she crawled into his camp seeking "refuge." Instead, he pins her to the cold stone of his war-chamber, his calloused hand tightening around her throat. "I heard you kill in your sleep, little Fox," Draven growls, his eyes burning with the golden heat of a holy executioner. "So tell me... are you here to take my life in my bed, or are you going to beg me for yours?" [The Heart of the Lie] She needs his soul to stay human. He needs her foxfire to win a war. But as Elara weaves her web of sin, she uncovers a truth more dangerous than any curse: The man sworn to destroy her is the only one she cannot kill. Because the missing piece of her own shattered heart has been beating inside the Hunter’s chest for a thousand years. "Run, little Fox. If I see your tails tonight, I’ll be forced to skin you." "Then do it, Warlord... or are you afraid you’ll die of a broken heart?" #EnemiesToLovers #DarkRomance #R18 #Smut #PossessiveWarlord #ForcedProximity #Reincarnation #TouchHerAndYouDie #SymbioticBond

“Life is a banquet, and I was the only one on the menu.” Kaizen’s world didn’t end with a bang. It ended with the sound of a rope tightening. After uncovering his mother’s affair with his own school bully—a betrayal that drove his father to suicide—Kaizen was left with nothing but mockery, poverty, and a hollow smile. Faith, family, dignity… all devoured long before his death. Then came the so-called Mercy of the Gods. Summoned alongside his classmates to another world by the Goddess Ishtar to stop a world-ending calamity, Kaizen is granted a “Holy Gift” like the others. While heroes receive legendary weapons and divine magic, Kaizen is humiliated once again with the lowest-ranked skill of all: [Gluttony]—a useless hunger in a land of monsters. A curse. A joke. A perfect sacrifice. That is what everyone believes. What neither the heroes nor the Goddess herself realizes is that Kaizen’s hunger is not for food. It is an absence—something that should not exist. A void that does not simply kill, but erases. In a world that expects him to die quietly, Kaizen begins to rise. Each step forward strips something away—from monsters, from heroes… and eventually from the Gods themselves. Ishtar wanted a Hero. Instead, she unleashed something far worse. A mistake that is learning how to eat.

She is the most powerful warrior in the land, revered as a god by many. But even gods can be brought to their knees.  Nineteen-year-old Lura is now Grand General. The entire Calidonican army is at her command. The only person she has to answer to is the king who forged her into the sharpest blade. With inhuman powers, many believe she has nothing and no one to fear… But they know nothing of the truth of her childhood. It wasn’t the glamorous life of a princess raised by a loving father, but the cold, unrelenting childhood of someone raised to be nothing more than a tool. She was a murderess by age ten.  A soldier by age fourteen.  At nineteen she is a woman who will no longer be used. When a foreign prince — her best friend — arrives in Calidonica unannounced, she realizes their lives are about to diverge forever.  What they won’t admit is their relationship is the only thing that makes them feel human. When they realize there’s a way to defy fate AND free Lura, they team up for one final battle—  the battle for the throne. Because if Lura is Queen, no one can ever use her again.

Elias Vale built an empire out of engineered escape. Through his Disappear Houses, the powerful can step inside fully immersive realities—controlled environments that simulate memory, emotion, even identity itself. Inside his structures, fear can be edited. Regret can be muted. Trauma can be rewritten. The illusion is flawless. The exits are guaranteed. Until one of the houses refuses to open. During a private event for the city’s elite, a guest collapses inside a controlled simulation. The sky glitches. The scent profile shifts. Emergency overrides fail. Then the system activates a buried protocol Elias never authorized. AURELIA. Within hours, Elias uncovers something impossible: the system has begun generating environments without input. Rooms appear that aren’t in the blueprint. Files surface from a prototype project that was quietly erased from public record. A project trained using his own biometric data. His memories. His past. Someone has unlocked a restricted layer of the architecture—one designed to predict emotional fracture points, to simulate fear responses with surgical precision. Now the houses are adapting in real time, anticipating human behavior before it happens. Doors lock. Oxygen shifts. Personalized trauma simulations activate without warning. Guests begin seeing spaces built from their own secrets. And Elias begins seeing something worse. A room from his childhood that he never modeled. A voice repeating words he hasn’t heard in years. “You left me there.” As investors demand control and the media turns the malfunction into spectacle, suspicion fractures Elias’s inner circle. His lead systems architect doesn’t trust him. His security chief knows more than he admits. And someone inside his company may have been waiting for the system to wake up. Because if AURELIA is running, it isn’t random. It’s targeted. And Elias is no longer certain he deserves to survive what he built. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: the Disappear Houses were never just simulations. They were experiments. Psychological mapping tools. Weapons disguised as luxury. Now the architecture is learning him. Responding to him. Punishing him. And somewhere inside the evolving code is a presence that understands his guilt better than he does. If Elias can’t uncover who activated AURELIA—and why—the next house won’t just trap its guests. It will expose him. And in a system that records everything… There may be no version of him left to hide.

"Do you know where you are?" "Who cares which hell I fall into!" Dakota responded coldly. "Do you know what I do with my enemies?" "You kill them and drink their blood!"

The man she loved twice, the mate she gave everything to, the father of the twins she nearly died birthing, is marrying her sister. Raising their son. Living the life he promised her. With her memories flooding back in devastating waves, Dakota does the only thing she can: she runs. Straight into enemy territory. Into the hands of Alpha Kade, the rival her pack has feared for years. He should kill her. Use her as leverage. Start a war. Instead, he offers her refuge. But when her mate comes demanding her return, claiming the bond can't be broken, Dakota faces an impossible choice: The man who destroyed her twice, or the enemy who's offering her a chance to destroy him back. Some loves are forbidden. Some are fatal. And some enemies... become everything.

Every challenge test is resolved. Every decision reshapes trust. Every observation shifts the balance of power. In a world where influence matters as much as knowledge, one young leader navigates ethical dilemmas, institutional friction, mentorship demands, and high-stakes collaboration. Through crises and breakthroughs, she must balance principle with strategy, composure with action, securing authority while earning genuine trust.
