Ashes in Bloom

Elira_Shrestha
In a crumbling middle-class home, twin sisters Aara and Ayin were born under the same roof—but that’s where their similarities end. Ayin, the older, is selfish, impulsive, and detached. She chases pleasure and leaves chaos behind. Aara is her opposite: obedient, loyal, and self-sacrificing. For years, she played the perfect daughter—top of her class, quiet, and controlled—hoping her efforts would ease her family's burden. She never knew they were drowning in debt… until the collectors came knocking. When her parents vanish under pressure, leaving only excuses and threats in their wake, fifteen-year-old Aara is forced to grow up overnight. She works brutal part-time jobs by day—and by night, she becomes “Ash,” a masked fighter in a secret underground league. Her fists pay the bills. Her silence keeps her safe. But she’s not invisible to everyone. Haru, the school’s infamous delinquent, is the heir to a powerful and dangerous conglomerate. Cold. Unapologetically violent. Untouchable. Rumors say he’s psychotic. Aara wants nothing to do with him. Haru, however, is obsessed. He sees her—the real her—before anyone else does. Her silence. Her defiance. Her pain. When he discovers her secret identity in the ring, his fascination deepens into something darker. Possessive. Protective. Twisted. As Aara sinks deeper into a world of betrayal, violence, and manipulation, Haru inserts himself into her life like a shadow she can't shake. She doesn’t want saving—but he doesn’t care. He’ll destroy anyone who touches her. Even her. Because love, to Haru, isn’t pure—it’s war. And Aara? She’s about to learn that not all monsters come to hurt you. Some come to claim you. Ashes in Bloom is a twisted tale of survival and obsession, where love doesn’t always heal—it scars. Trigger Warnings: Emotional manipulation, bullying, violence, psychological trauma, obsessive behavior

A Wolf's Howl, A Fairy's Wing

This story is about love, revenge, the quest for power, and the right to exist. After being betrayed by his childhood crush and losing his loved ones to a human raid, Erik, a werewolf, ends up on another planet for seven years before he returns to a vastly changed, post-apocalyptic Earth. Originally a timid, unadventurous man, Erik has become far more dominant and assertive upon his return. Together with him comes his beloved but ruthless soul-bound partner and fairy, Elora, who wants Erik to rule and conquer with her by his side. Elora's presence alone makes Erik more powerful than others at this level, but will he find out what else makes him special? Follow them as they use the knowledge and strength they gained on Söl to navigate an Earth filled with magic, vampires, shapeshifters, and more. Along the way, Erik and Elora will meet a diverse cast of characters, some of whom Erik might have known in the past, and some he did not, but all with their own story and desires. Will Erik be able to take revenge for the betrayals of the past? And what else will he discover along the way? ****** Disclaimer: There will be some R18 scenes, but most of the time, they will be a part of character development and not simply smut. In other words, if you decide to skip them, you'll likely miss out on some character development, but I promise to keep plot development out of it. No NTR No Yuri (there might be interactions between girls when there is a scene with the MC and more than one woman, though the MC will always be the focus. To be clear, yuri means a romantic/physical relationship between two women, meaning no two women will ever have sexual interactions with each other without the MC present. That said, Elora enjoys serving women up to him on a platter, and watching him have sex with them. She enjoys dominating, observing. and playing with the other women in the MC's harem together with him, and thus will occasionally join him in such a way. I don't believe any of that is technically yuri, but I understand that my interpretation is debatable and if any of those things weird you out, I advice you to avoid this novel.)
