UNDER HIS SHADOW

NYXBLACK
After a failed career move and a desperate need for a fresh start, Lena Carter moves into Oakwood Apartments—an old, quiet building on the edge of the city. The rent is cheap, the neighbors keep to themselves, and everything seems normal. Until she meets Damien Hale, the enigmatic tenant in the apartment above hers. Damien is strange, intense, and knows far too much about Oakwood’s secrets. Secrets like Apartment 3B, which has been empty for months—despite Lena hearing noises from inside. Secrets like the mysterious disappearance of Ryan Thomas, the last person to live there. Then one night, Damien gives her a key. To Apartment 3B. Inside, Lena finds more than just dust and forgotten walls. She finds footsteps that don’t belong to her. A chair that vanishes when she looks away. And whispers in the dark that seem to know her name. Now, trapped between paranoia and reality, Lena realizes she’s caught in something far more dangerous than she ever imagined. And Damien? He isn’t just a neighbor. He’s the only one who can help her survive. But only if she follows the rules. And rule number three is the one she’s already broken: If you ever find a door open when you know you closed it—don’t go inside. PS: it's parentally suggested cause it is really psychologically dark so read at your own mental risk muaaah :)

The Seven Lycan Kingdoms: Concord of Howling Blood

Before humankind walked the Earth, Lycans ruled a world pulsing with primordial magic. Seven mighty kingdoms, each forged by moon-blessed blood and ancient power, flourished—until ambition birthed betrayal. Queen Selene Morrath of Morrathiel, once a beacon of unity, fell to the seductive whispers of an ancient darkness known as the Hollow Brood. Twisting her gifts into monstrous corruption, she unleashed the Skarnwraiths, nightmare creatures destined to annihilate her own kind. In desperation, the remaining six kingdoms formed the Concord of Howling Blood. Amidst looming war, an impossible love bloomed: Princess Evelaine Morrath, untouched by her mother's corruption, and Prince Caelen Draven of Ulvaren, a kingdom tempered by storms and steel. Their bond defied bloodlines and fate. On the eve of the Eclipse Wars, Evelaine betrayed her mother, guiding the Concord to a hard-won victory. Yet Selene’s death unleashed a deeper catastrophe—the Hollow Brood, untethered and ravenous, spread blight and chaos anew. Evelaine and Caelen, crowned rulers of a shattered Morrathiel reborn as Caeloria, stood as fragile beacons against a world teetering on ruin. Distrust simmered among their uneasy allies. Ancient hatreds reignited. Dark magic festered. As the surviving kingdoms teetered between salvation and collapse, Evelaine and Caelen fought to protect their fragile kingdom, their love—and the future of lycankind itself. The Seven Lycan Kingdoms: Concord of Howling Blood is an epic saga of passion, betrayal, war, and ancient magic—where love must survive the shadows of a cursed legacy.
