The Texan Raj

A dark, seductive tale of secrets, power, and the woman who rules them all. By day, Sabrina Rodriguez is the charming owner of a quaint little bakery, blending sugar and spice like any ordinary woman. But by night, she becomes Lucifer, the most feared, untouchable mafia boss who commands a criminal empire with brutal precision. Her enemies whisper his name in fear, but no one knows the truth: Lucifer is a woman. With her identity a secret and her past buried deep, Sabrina walks a razor-thin line between sweetness and savagery. Only one man knows who she really is, Sebastián Montgomery, a billionaire with a tarnished reputation and a dangerous past that binds them. When his crumbling business forces him to propose a contract marriage, Sabrina agrees but not just for love but for something more. But the real danger is closing in. Sebastián’s identical twin, Detective Xavier Montgomery, is hellbent on bringing Lucifer down. Smart, relentless, and unknowingly hunting the woman his brother is falling deeper in love with, Xavier will stop at nothing to unmask the ghost king ruling the city’s underworld. As love, loyalty, and identity collide, Sabrina must protect her secret at all costs… But when the mask slips, who will survive the woman behind it? "You think the devil wears horns? No, darling, she wears red lipstick, heels, and your fate is in her fucking hands."

"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.

After her death, Lilith awakens in a world where fourteen billion players struggle for survival, power, and the right to continue existing. Over Ten million of them have become Demon Lords, each building their own race, their own territory, and their own army. Demonic Dragon Knights command vast legions, Vampires rise to build empires, and Lords of Catastrophe leave nothing but ruin in their wake. Yet Lilith enters this world as the Primordial Succubus Monarch - and quickly realizes she cannot walk the same path as the others. Instead of endless armies, she is given only three succubi, each unique in their own way, and the system permanently seals her ability to summon more. In a world where power is measured in numbers, such a gift feels more like a death sentence than a blessing. If she wants to conquer this world, she will have to take armies from other Demon Lords, grow stronger despite her limitations, and prove that a demon of desire is not meant only to seduce - but to fight. And above them all stand the Heroes… beings created for one purpose alone. To hunt and kill Demon Lords like her. And Lilith would soon realize… that neither Heroes nor Demon Lords were the true predators of this world. *** You can support me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/TorqQ

Seven years ago, Luca Ferrante walked away from me after believing my father ordered his brother’s murder. Now he’s back and he’s the ruthless Don ruling the city with an iron fist, and the only man who can save what’s left of my family. When my father is gunned down at his own birthday dinner, his dying words send me straight to Luca’s door. He agrees to protect me… but his price is brutal. I have to move in, become his mistress, his willing fuck toy, body and soul surrendered to the man who now hates me as much as he once loved me. I thought the worst was behind me. Then the fire. The bodies. The empire reduced to ash overnight. Everyone I loved is gone. Or so Luca claims. Now I’m trapped in his house, playing his twisted game. He still wants me. Badly. And I’m going to use that against him. In this city of blood and power, love and revenge are the same damn thing… and one of us is going to break first.

Aurora Ashbourne left to escape the suffocating traditions of her bloodline. She returns to a dying mother, a fractured family, and a ritual that demands obedience. For generations, her lineage has guarded the Veil — a mystical barrier imprisoning a seductive, ancient force that feeds on longing and fear. But when the entity begins to manifest as something beautiful… something persuasive… Aurora must choose: Remain bound to duty, Or tear the Veil apart and face what was never meant to be free.

One look to learn. Two looks to master. Ren Isana was summoned to a world where spiritual energy has returned, monsters roam the streets, and spatial rifts lead to dangerous alternate dimensions. But he wasn’t summoned by a god or a king—he was summoned by his own parallel self: a depressed orphan who sacrificed his existence just to bring Ren into this “giant cesspool” of a world. However, the sacrifice wasn’t in vain. Ren awakened the Eyes of Insight, a legendary talent from another world. Whether it is the bone-shattering martial arts of a street-corner elder, the high-tier elemental spells of elite professors, or even the unique bloodline talents of his peers—Ren sees it all. Yukino Yukinoshita’s perfect physical control? Copied. Asuna Yuuki’s lightning-fast rapier speed? Mastered. Aria Valentia (Ais Wallenstein)’s divine wind magic? Replicated and improved. When a spatial rift opens to the legendary city of Orario, Ren doesn’t go to explore—he goes to dominate. Behind him stands a class of the world’s most famous “geniuses.” Ahead of him stand the gods themselves. As the newly appointed Captain of the Hestia Familia, Ren Isana is about to show the inhabitants of the Dungeon what happens when a mortal possesses the eyes of a god. “You call that a secret technique? Sorry—I learned it five seconds ago… and I think I do it better.”

Elyan, heir to the desert city of Heliqar, has always believed the world runs on cause and effect. As the prince who engineered a safe trade route across the deadly Red Sand Sea, he trusts discipline and rationality above all else. When a dying woman entrusts him with a set of artifacts unlike anything he’s ever studied—devices that respond not to strength or skill but to intent—Elyan becomes determined to unravel their precise, inexplicable rules one by one. His discovery draws the attention of Heliqar’s most ruthless enemy. Captured and taken deep into their territory, Elyan must finish deciphering the artifacts while navigating a system built on cruelty and fear. The more he learns, the clearer it becomes: the artifacts’ power is fundamentally incompatible with the logic of the state that now holds him prisoner. To save himself and protect his city, Elyan must decide how far he’s willing to push a tool that exposes injustice with perfect, merciless precision—and what it means to wield that power inside a nation defined by it.

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!
