Sold to Conquer: Bride of the Enigmas

[Beastmen, reverse-harem, R-18+] *** They called her blessed. Chosen. A savior of their dying bloodlines. But what savior was locked behind walls? What kind of honor smelled like rot and desperation? Through the past centuries, the Hale Family was one of the last ancient lineages with thick, untainted alpha strands able to produce Spirit Beast Maidens who became brides of the ruling archons in the beast world. The females born to them were fated—no, bred—to carry the next generation of Enigmas to keep the bloodline purity at all cost. Now, it was Asha Hale's turn. People often tell she was fortunate to be born with a diamond spoon. Yet deep in her soul, Asha knew how her fate was much worse than a lowborn. She was a relic in a museum. A commodity. A cage bird waiting to be sold. Born to breed. Raised to birth. Destined to be a broodmare and conceive some strangers'— those beastly creatures' offsprings. 'A broodmare...' The words echoed in her mind like bile on her tongue. No matter how much they smear gold and glimmers to cover her inevitable truth, Asha already knew how much more dreary her future was than that of a homeless person. She was born a prisoner of an accursed future woven by the pact her ancestors made with the beastmen of Genos. There, she reckons how life is unjust for the weaklings and Asha could only rely on herself to survive this ordeal. Since those beasts wanted to use her to secure power, then she’d make sure they regretted it. For as long as she could stay alive, she’d make them bleed for her. Crave her. Until their whole damned world tore itself apart for making entire life just unbearably shitty to live in. Or so she intended.

Becoming his Luna

I dozed off without realising it and woke up straight at night. Unlike other nights I could hear wolves howl when they were close but tonight I heard nothing like that. I wore back my shirt that was not clean and headed out.  I walked down all the way down the woods. Thank the moon goddess for my sharp sense of hearing and feeling a sharp arrow passed swiftly at me which I dodged without effort. It hit a tree behind me. Great  Do I always have to face this? I had a small pocket knife which was in my back pocket Knowing the direction the person was in at the moment I threw my knife right in the direction.  "Fuck" I heard the person scream in pain. Oh yes, I never missed my target in a lifetime, and by the way I won't leave without my knife. I ran just in the direction the person I had hit was in. I was as fast as one of those creatures... What was it again, a vampire. I guess. I was gifted with so many powers that I don't even know about. It was a man I hit, so I'm definitely not going easy. He was in pain and was ready to strike at me again when I pulled out my knife from his shoulder. "Arggg" he screamed in pain "That is what comes to you when you try to harm me" I said immediately stabbing him everywhere I could with him groaning in pain. His blood splashing all over my face, till he was dead. Since he didn't transform, he was not a werewolf, he was a wolf hunter, hunting alone.  "Poor breed" I said as I cleaned his blood away from my hands and face with his clothes. Doing that I found some coins and money on the man "Good" I said as I walked off the woods onto the road.  Now it seems like it's high time I clean myself up. Though I get haunted because I'm a rogue does not mean I'm a weakling, I'm a very strong wolf even though I have some powers no wolf has ever had. I can summon weapons and use fire, it's weird but I don't know how I got this if it is from my family or some sort but that is what makes me isn't it?

Married To The Mad Vampire Lord

His lips hovered near her ear, his voice a dark whisper against her skin. "You may fear me, little bride, but I will teach your body to crave me… to need me, until I am all you ever want." --- Belle was never meant to be the bride. But when her parents cried to her about how her beautiful sister could not be married to such a man, she was forced to take her sister’s place. To prevent war between the two worlds of humans and vampires, the kings decided to sign a peace treaty with a marriage, but the only man they could offer for this marriage was a vampire said to be mad and completely heartless. When they said heartless, they meant really heartless, but Belle, being a naive girl her whole life, had no idea what she was stepping into by agreeing to this marriage. At first, he appeared innocent, a man completely opposite to all the rumors around him, until she slowly began to realize every single thing said about the mad vampire was true, or perhaps even worse! He was a man who walked in the path of darkness. He knew no light and showed no mercy, even to those who were not his enemies. He had no heart to love, no emotions but dark ones to feel for anything or anyone. But all of a sudden, when he set his eyes on her, he decided he wanted to keep her, and Belle's naive world began to take a different turn because the mad vampire was hellbent on tainting her innocent soul. Expect "Now, can we forget this happened and enjoy the night?" He arched an amused brow at her, making Belle's heart drop to her stomach as she recalled the so-called wedding night. She hurriedly pulled away from him, her face flaming with embarrassment. From everything she had heard about this night, she was not ready to experience it with this man. The women whispering about it in Mr. Marchant's shop had said one would hate their husband's presence after it and be disgusted by the act. It was not an act meant for pleasure for any woman but torture. Now that she realized her husband would do the same with her, she swallowed hard and nervously clutched her dress. "I...I am not feeling well, My Lord, I—" "Rohan," he cut her off with a tone of amusement. "Use my name when you address me, sweetheart. You looked quite energetic when you tried to go after the ring for someone who isn't feeling well, but," he sighed softly, "I've always been a generous man. I won't let you stress yourself tonight." Belle began to sigh in relief and smile in her mind that he wouldn't push her for the wedding night ceremony. She was even about to part her lips and agree that he was indeed generous and even offer him a thank you when he continued to speak, causing the momentary relief to be replaced by dread. "I will pamper you tonight, and you won’t have to lift a hand. I will give you all the pleasure since you are feeling unwell. Take it as the first lesson in my plan to make you forget love and welcome lust." "...!" "Lie on the bed for me, Isa." Belle felt her throat go dry at that strict command. "I...I..." She began but could not find any words to say to make him spare her tonight. What had she got herself into? Belle thought as a pit seemed to form in her stomach, a deep, gnawing dread. "Do you need me to carry you to the bed, or would you rather walk there yourself?" Rohan questioned with dark mirth in his voice and eyes as he watched her like a hawk. He could tell she was nervous, but what to do? She had brought herself into his world. Belle began to walk slowly to the bed at a snail’s pace, as if delaying it would help prevent the dreadful act from happening tonight. She could feel him following closely behind her. When she reached the bed, she used her shaky hands to move the drapes aside and carefully sat at the edge of it, her hands folded nervously on her lap. She felt his piercing gaze on her, but she dared not look up at him. "Lie down," he ordered softly. MATURE CONTENT, NO RAPE!!
