Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!"

Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me".

Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith.

As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.'

Empress Of Wrath, Blood And Desire by She-stay-lit
41 parts Complete Mature
Aurora Velasco fled from a life promised to her: an entire empire on a golden platter. Despite possessing the skills, power, strength, and knowledge to rule, she never wanted the throne, not with the risks. Yet, her people will stop at nothing to see her ascend as their empress. Determined to escape this fate, she runs relentlessly, evading all who pursue her. Then she meets him. Marcellous Di Capo, a notorious and ruthless Don, becomes obsessed with Aurora after a one-night stand. Known as the devil incarnate, Marcellous is accustomed to taking possession of what he desires, and Aurora is no exception. The moment she holds a gun to his head, challenging her destiny, she becomes his obsession. Little does he know, the woman behind the mask is his worst nightmare. - "We are going to play a game, my sunshine," he murmurs, his hot breath trailing along the side of my neck. His hand finds my heated pussy, clutching it with just enough force to remind me exactly who it belong to. My heart stutters, my breath falters, and all I can feel is the searing heat of his presence. His lips hover dangerously close to my ear. "One where I fuck you recklessly, without mercy, and you won't make a sound... because if anyone around us hears, I will punish you." *** This book is unapologetically intense, filled with a few graphic violence and explicit content that explores the darker sides of humanity. It's not for people who shy away from brutal, unfiltered storytelling. If violence and sexual themes make you uncomfortable, this might not be the story for you. Proceed with caution- you've been warned. #1 in Spy: October 9, 2024 #1 in plot: January 17, 2025

I haven't slept in days. I should have known better than to cross that line. She was my dad's wife. There is an unspoken line that I shouldn't have crossed. Now Nia is after me. She wants me to herself and she wont stop until I am completely hers. I have never cheated a day in my life but the one time I slipped up, I got a stalker. Danica knows something is wrong and I don't know what to say. I want to tell her but what if less is better? "ASIA, WHY ARE YOU PLAYING WITH ME?!" I lay flush against the wall in the kitchen pantry. I dare not move from this spot. I just want her to calm down. I peep through the crack of the door. She is pulling on her hair, removing huge patches. She stalks back and forth. "I JUST WANT TO TALK LOVE. WHY ARE YOU HURTING ME ASIA. YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU! ITS BECAUSE OF THAT BITCH ISNT IT?!" She takes a deep breath and smiles. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH HER AGAIN AND YOU DID IT ANYWAY. YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD HIDE IT?! BRING YOUR ASS OUT OF THAT PANTRY MARIE!" I gulp, wipe the sweat off my face and step out the pantry. I hold my hands out and tip toe further in the kitchen. She jumps forward. "Okay whoa! Just wait. Nia, look I'm sorry. Can we just talk for a second?" She cocks her head to the side and smiles. "If we have one last night... can you just let her leave? I know I hurt you but please just let her leave. I cant stand the thought of you leaving me because if the police find out they will take you away." She looks down and thinks about it for a second. Lord, I hope this crazy bitch buys this shit. I see Nia's body hit the floor with a loud thump. "Come on bitch! You want me, you got me!" Danica throws her hands up in a fighting stance. Nia jumps up and throws a fist wildly, landing a clean hit on Danica beautiful face. ***. Follow me !!

This is a mature book. It has themes of Sex, BDSM, Violence, Murder, Self-Harm, Mind Control, and Torture. Reader discretion is advised. *****This has been edited from the original story (Previously Auras) ***** Aurora was a normal college student working towards a business degree until she went to a party that changed her life. Everyone she knew and cared about was murdered in a twisted idea of fun, she was the only survivor. Quickly dumped into a world of supernatural Aurora must find her place despite the fact a possessive werewolf seems to want to tell her what to do. Can she adjust or will she crumble under the pressure? Excerpt: The screams and cries for help faded while silent tears continued to stream down her face. Her hands were slapped over her mouth to muffle any noise that escaped her quivering lips. She wasn't sure how long she was in that pantry but couldn't come out until she was beyond certain that they had left. For a moment, she started to have hope that maybe they wouldn't be able to find her, but a voice spoke up, and fear flooded in once again. "You cleared out the upstairs, too, right?" "Yeah." Another voice responded. There was a slight pause, "Hmm. Then where is that heartbeat coming from, I wonder." His voice had a sickening amusement to it, and her heart rate uncontrollably spiked with the adrenaline pumped through her veins. Was he talking about her? The thought that he could hear her heartbeat was crazy. It just wasn't humanly possible. Footsteps grew closer to the kitchen. Somehow, they had found her. She said one last prayer and goodbye to her life as the pantry opened. "Boo." The man yelled, peering in at her. She was frozen. There was nothing more she could do. She was going to die. "Little Birdy," he stretched out his hand, "come out to play."

Aurora is a self-proclaimed literary lover who has always dreamed of living inside her favorite novel, Descended from the Heavens. Since its release, the series has captivated her with its intricate plot, breathtaking world, and compelling characters, Eliot White and Jade Pierce-who coincidentally share the names of her new co-workers at her dream job. As her affection for the novel deepens, one night, while drifting off to sleep, she makes a heartfelt wish to become a part of the story. To her shock, Aurora's wish is granted, and she is suddenly transported into the world of "Descended from the Heavens." She wakes up in a place that is both familiar and unrecognizable. The world is infused with regency elegance but is also marked by harsh societal norms, as it is ruled by emperors-where every action is meticulously planned and every move closely scrutinized. A drunken incident leads Aurora to cross paths with the story's main male lead, Eliot White, also known as The Ice Commander, granted the name known for his ruthlessness and cold exterior after accidentally throwing the plot off course. She quickly realizes that she is no longer merely reading the story; she has become a part of it. Now, she must navigate this new world, torn between restoring the original narrative or embracing her role as the new heroine. The question remains: will she find her way back home or will she be lost in the story forever? Updates every Sunday at 7:00 EST *Not my art*
Whispering pines by negrassss
22 parts Ongoing
Aurora sat in the passenger seat, her hands folded tightly in her lap. Her long, black dreadlocks cascaded down her back, swaying slightly with each bump in the road. Her chocolate skin glistened faintly under the dim light of the car, but she didn't notice. The world outside the window passed by in muted shades of gray and green, the trees thick with mist, the road winding up a steep hill that seemed to stretch on forever. Her mom was talking again, her voice upbeat and false. "This is for the best, baby. I know you don't think so now, but this place will help you heal. You're going to meet people who can understand what you've been through. You just need to open up. To let go of the past." Aurora clenched her jaw, feeling the heat rise in her chest. Her ex's house had been reduced to ash and rubble, the flames of her anger licking the air like something she couldn't control. But this-this place? It felt wrong from the start. The truth was, she didn't belong here. Not in the sterile hallways of Whispering Pines, not in the cold, uncaring arms of a psych ward, and certainly not under the watchful eyes of the people who had decided to send her away. "You'll see, honey," her mom continued, her voice syrupy sweet. "You'll get better. You'll be happy again." Aurora looked out the window, not trusting herself to speak. If only her mom knew the truth. The truth about how the fire had felt-how, for the first time in forever, she'd felt alive. She wasn't sorry. Not really. Aurora didn't know it yet, but this place would change her. Change all of them. And soon, the obsession would turn into something darker-something dangerous. They would kill for each other, lie for each other, and cross lines they never imagined. And in the end, none of them would be able to escape the pull. This was a quick one two it's got mistakes bc it was made in one night
