In the kingdom of Durnmoor, Princess Elara has always felt like a stranger in her own life. Abandoned by her family and cursed with a heart that longs for true love, she wanders the palace alone, searching for a connection that seems forever out of reach.

Her beauty and grace have caught the eyes of many-princes and kings who desire her, but none seem to understand the emptiness she feels. Two men will rise above the rest, both drawn to her in ways they can't explain.

Thorian, humble and kind, possesses a quiet strength that makes him irresistible. He offers Elara the love she's always dreamed of, but can she trust in his affection, or is there more to him than meets the eye?

Then there's Valen, dark and mysterious, a man who keeps his secrets close. Arrogant yet compassionate, his love for Elara is as dangerous as it is genuine. But what does he truly seek from her?

In a world where magic is as real as the beating of her heart, Elara must choose between the two men-and unravel the mystery of her own heart before it's too late.

Shocked, Bella stills for a second before she absently blurts out a quiet "Okay" Alexander walks towards her after getting her permission and takes the strings in his hands. As he undoes the crossed pattern, his fingers brush against her skin and almost reveal her generous chest. "W-what are you doing?" She asks in a whisper as she holds the top so it doesn't open completely and reveals herself to him. "I'm fixing it" His deep husky voice only worsens her state and accelerates her heartbeat. ______________________________ What could you expect when the whole college art department is invited to an exhibition of an famous photographer? Some would say a night to pass some hours and enjoy art, some might even say a boring way to pass your Saturday night because the art turned out to be something that they don't like. But for Bella it was all but that. She didn't expect to connect with his art in more ways than profesional. She didn't expect to cry over it because it brought back some memories.

Or did fate tangled her fingers into their lives?

"Elara~Prince Twisted Obsession" by softlysinister
52 parts Ongoing
In the grand kingdom of Verathia, where power and politics rule, Prince Alistair is known as a cold and calculating figure in the royal court. Born into a world of betrayal, alliances, and constant scrutiny, Alistair learned from a young age that love is a weakness he cannot afford. He's known for his sharp intellect and ruthless decisions in court, having been groomed to take over the throne. However, behind closed doors, his obsession isn't with power-it's with a commoner, Lady Elara. Elara is an innocent, kind-hearted young woman from a noble yet distant family, largely removed from the palace's inner workings. She's sweet, humble, and untouched by the court's manipulations. She meets Alistair by chance when her family is summoned to court over a land dispute. Unaware of the prince's intense gaze, Elara quickly becomes the object of his fascination. What begins as an innocent meeting soon turns into a dangerous game as Alistair's obsession with Elara grows. He is determined to keep her close, seeing her as the only source of purity in his dark world. Alistair views Elara as a symbol of purity in his otherwise corrupt world, and his obsession with her is driven by a desire to possess something untainted by power. He is deeply conflicted, as his obsession is at odds with his belief that emotions are weaknesses. Elara, on the other hand, is unaware of the extent of Alistair's obsession. While she may feel a sense of intrigue or fascination with him, she is largely naive to the depth of his intentions, making her a target of his possessive nature without fully understanding the danger.

When she realises that he may never come to love her romantically, a heartbroken Ariana agrees to court Prince Jasper of a neighbouring Kingdom. But what happens when Coby realises that his feelings for Ariana are in fact more then platonic, but she is now courting some Prince, who in his mind is not good enough for her, but is still a man who outweighs him in society since he is just a simple Royal Guard.
