Aliana never believed in myths-until the day they came to life. When the ancient Greek gods' sacred tribes reveal their existence to her, she learns her destiny is far from ordinary: she is the heir to the throne of Alphenia, a tribe charged with protecting the human world from mythical creatures. But fate is never simple and love is unpredictable; it knows no dividing lines and your other half may be hiding in the most unlikely place or even... in the face of your rival. For Aliana that is the case. When she meets Hector, the magnetic and enigmatic heir to Arenia-the rival tribe her people have battled for centuries- forbidden love and her duty to her tribe collide. What is her fate after all? Is it what she's been told or something different? Could she be walking toward Hades without even knowing?

✭⋆𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞⋆✭ "Why did you not listen to me?"I whispered against her lips, my voice husky with a mixture of anger and possessiveness. "I can do anything I please. You have no right to dictate my movements," she retorted, her voice firm. My grip on her waist tightened involuntarily. "Let's go to bed, and I'll show you exactly who I am to you,"I growled, scooping her up in my arms and carrying her towards the bed. I hovered over her, intertwining our hands and gazing intently into her eyes, a venomous glint in my own. "Tell me what you see in my eyes,"I demanded, my voice low and dangerous. Strangely, she remained remarkably calm, her demeanor almost serene. Finally, she spoke, her voice barely a whisper, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "A child," she murmured softly. "What?" I barked, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "A little boy," she continued, her voice gaining strength, "who desperately needs protection. A boy who yearns for love, for acceptance, for someone to hold him and never let go. A boy who has always been the shoulder to lean on for others, yet has never found a shoulder to cry on himself. And I... I love this boy." Her smile was fragile, a fleeting expression that mirrored the softening of my own grip on her hands. My eyes stung with a sudden, unexpected wave of emotion. ✰ Falling in love with the daughter of his father's murderer, he found his carefully constructed revenge plan crumbling before his eyes.

It was supposed to be an easy, unremarkable life for Mina. Or so it seemed. The unraveling began when her sister, Alicia, gave her heart to Kim Taehyung. A man revered and feared alike, a being carved from iron will and unshakable strength, his every breath carrying the weight of unspoken command. At first, Mina thought herself safe. Taehyung was the steady harbor, the unwavering protector, the brother she never had. Until fate, cruel and merciless, struck. An automobile accident stole Alicia's sight, plunging their lives into a darkness no sunlight could banish. And with it, the man Mina trusted changed. What once was gentle protection rotted into something darker, deeper. A possession that clung to her like unseen chains. Taehyung's gaze, once warm, now seared with an unnamed hunger. His touch no longer comforted, it caged. Mina longed to cry out, to confess the terror that gnawed at her soul. But Taehyung held a secret over her, a blade resting against her throat, unseen but ever-present, one she would carry into the grave before speaking aloud. And so she remained trapped, delicate and trembling, inside a golden cage. From the shadows, another presence stirred. Rinkyu. A man as dangerous as he was magnetic, as merciless as he was cunning. Draped in silk and sin, he moved like a predator too elegant to be touched, his grin never reaching his cold, calculating eyes. He bore the air of a fallen king, beautiful, broken, and bloodthirsty. If Taehyung was the unshakable mountain, Rinkyu was the hurricane that could tear it apart. The moment Rinkyu's gaze fell upon Mina, something ancient and twisted unfurled within him. She was no longer just a pawn to wound Taehyung, she became an obsession, a delicate flower he longed to crush and cradle all at once. And Mina, fragile, helpless Mina. Finds herself trembling at the heart of a battle neither man intends to lose. And when the final blow falls, who will have her heart... and who will leave her in ruins?
