Trapped by fate. Hunted by a god. Fighting for freedom.

Elara thought she had escaped her past-a life shackled to the war god Ares after a desperate deal gone wrong. But no one escapes a god forever. When Ares finds her at a grand masquerade ball, his silver eyes burn with possession, and his sinister words promise only one thing: she belongs to him.

Fleeing into the heart of a cursed forest, Elara must confront the mistakes of her past while unlocking the true extent of her magical power. Her only ally? Her estranged brother, Aedan, whose loyalty is as fractured as her trust. But shadows twist in the woods, and not all enemies wear masks.

With Ares closing in, Elara must decide: will she keep running from her fate, or will she finally stand and fight for her freedom-even if it means facing the monster she once called husband?

Power. Control. Betrayal. In a world where even gods have limits, Elara is determined to break them all.

Her body, mind, and soul are hers-and she's willing to burn the world to prove it.

Whispers Beneath the Petals by Gabriella_TwiNox
15 parts Complete
In a world where magic is woven into the fabric of nature, Lila Faelan has always felt a deep connection to the flowers that bloom around her. With her pastel pink hair and luminous green eyes, she is quiet and reserved, hiding a profound loneliness. Ever since she can remember, her dreams have been haunted by whispers-murmurs of a forgotten past and a voice that calls to her from beyond the realm of memory. Lila's life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Aiden Thorne, a brooding young man with a troubled past of his own. Aiden is bound by the rigid expectations of his family, who hold immense power in their world. His stormy blue eyes reflect the weight of responsibility he has never asked for, and he feels trapped in a life that isn't truly his. Their fateful meeting in the midst of a mystical garden sets off a chain of events neither of them could have foreseen. As their bond deepens, Lila begins to uncover fragments of her lost past-memories tied to an ancient curse that has shadowed her family for generations. Aiden, too, begins to question the truths he has been told, discovering that his family's legacy is entwined with Lila's in ways more dangerous than either of them could have imagined. Together, they embark on a journey through enchanted forests and forgotten ruins, searching for the key to breaking the curse. Along the way, they are joined by their loyal friends-Elara, Lila's sharp-tongued yet fiercely protective best friend, and Rowan, Aiden's carefree companion who hides his own secret feelings for Elara. As Lila and Aiden draw closer to the heart of the mystery, they must confront not only the curse but also their own fears, desires, and the question of whether their connection was fated-or if they have the power to rewrite their destinies. The deeper they go, the more they realize that breaking the curse may come at an unthinkable cost: the sacrifice of one to save the other.
