They killed me for my crown. They will pay. My name is Elara Sterling, and I died at twenty-eight. Pushed off a balcony by my stepsister while my stepmother watched and my fiancé held her waist. They stole my company, my home, my parents' legacy—everything. I woke up not in heaven or hell, but in the past. I'm eighteen again, the day the viper and her daughter first slithered into my home. The day my ruin began. But the naive heiress is gone. In her place is a soul forged in betrayal, with ten years of foresight and a vengeance that burns cold. My stepmother wants my fortune? I'll use her own schemes to bankrupt her. My stepsister wants my social status? I'll make her a pariah with a single, viral post. My ex-fiancé wants to use me for my connections? I'll destroy his family's empire from the inside out. My most powerful weapon? The one man they all fear: Kaelen Vancourt. My ex-fiancé's reclusive, ruthless uncle. A man ten years my senior, a kingmaker who views the world as a chessboard. We had an alliance, a partnership, and above all, a marriage. Our contract is simple: he needed a wife, and I needed the husband - an alliance built from mutual advantage - but it quickly becomes something hotter and more dangerous. Something we never expected. This time, I'm not waiting to be saved. I'm the one wielding the sword. I refuse to be just a pawn on their chessboard. I want to be a player, and I am playing to win - if that requires blood, manipulation or public ruin, so be it. This is not a fairy tale. It's a takeover.

Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.

The dragon's harem

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!
