The Devil's Broken Doll
****Excerpt****
“You see yourself as ordinary,” he said softly. “But entire worlds have crumbled and come apart for far less than a woman of your beauty.”
He pushed his horn further again, filling her another inch. Her flame flared white-hot behind her ribs. Begging, pleading, clawing.
“That’s it, my little whore. You like that, don’t you?” he preened against the corner of her mouth.
His voice hit her harder than the horn. Dirty, cruel, worshipful. The word whore sent heat spiralling down her spine, making her clench around the invasion. She hated the word. She loved how he said it.
“Please…” She started. He squeezed her throat, cutting off the rest of her words. Her breath hitched violently at the pressure, but she surrendered to the feeling.
“Unless you are about to beg me to fuck your ass harder with this horn, I don’t want to hear how you can’t take any more.” He growled, low and threatening. A wave of want crashed into her so hard she whimpered.
Adelaide should have been scared. In a way, she was. It wasn’t fear that made her heart pound, it was the terrifying realisation that she wanted exactly what he demanded. She wanted to feel the thickness of his horn deep inside her, wanted the stretch, the pain, the pleasure. She wanted all of what she knew he could give her.
She leaned her head back to run her tongue over the seam of his lips.
“Fuck me harder.” She said softly, the words barely a whisper. They carried the desperation, surrender, hunger, devotion, need. Her voice trembled with the weight of what she was giving him. Of what she was asking him to do to her.
He growled. The sound vibrated through her, deep and possessive.

Chapter: Chapter 153 - To Wield What You Own(Adelaide & Caelum)Her Emberflame responded first. Not flaring. Turning its attention outward, like an animal lifting its head. She opened her eyes and found Cael immediately, now standing near the other side of the pit.“Defence only,” Cael said. “Do not pursue. Do not answer force with force. You let it slide.”A shadow cut toward her ribs without warning.Adelaide startled, flame snapping up instinctively, too sharp, too fast. The shadow shattered—but the recoil rocked her backward a step, heat flaring wide instead of holding close.“Too much,” Cael said immediately. “You met it head-on.”She narrowed her eyes, irritation flashing across her face. “It worked.”“And if I hadn’t stopped it short?” he countered. “You’d have been off balance and exposed. Again.”She frowned but nodded her agreement.“Retake your stance,” Cael instructed.She obeyed, shifting her stance until the heat beneath the obsidian pressed evenly through both soles.“No,” Cael corrected immediately. He stepped c

Chapter: Chapter 152 - The Tug of Power(Adelaide & Caelum)Adelaide's awareness rose through dark. Her body followed. And with it, the Emberflame.Cael felt it.Not the full force—nothing so obvious—but a brush of something colder and heavier than any other fire, like a distant bell struck once beneath stone. His shadows tightened reflexively, every instinct flaring sharp and alert. For half a breath, he thought she might call it forth. Thought he felt the edge of something sovereign stir.Then she didn’t.The pressure receded. What remained was familiar. Gold. Ember-warm. Controlled.Cael shifted his stance slightly, testing her focus the way he would test an unstable structure. The scrape of his boot against stone sounded too loud in the cavern’s hush.Adelaide adjusted instinctively—not by leaning outward, but by drawing inward. The Emberflame deepened, pressing down instead of out, rooting itself further into her consciousness. Her shoulders loosened a fraction. Her jaw unclenched.Cael exhaled, relief sharp enough to

Chapter: Chapter 151 - The Hollow Within(Adelaide & Caelum)The training pits did not care who she was. They never had. They lay open beneath the mountain like a scar that refused to heal—obsidian floors webbed with old fractures, air heavy with residual magic soaked so deep into the stone it hummed even untouched. This was not a place for triumph. It was a place for restraint failing.The cavern breathed heat in slow waves, sulphur and iron thick on her tongue. Old sigils glimmered faintly beneath soot and scorch-marks, their lines warped by centuries of impact. Every sound echoed wrong here, swallowed and returned as something sharper, like the mountain was tasting it before letting it go.Cael didn’t take her to the same scar in the mountain.He led her upward.The route narrowed into a spine of stairs carved straight through basalt, steep enough to bite the calves, old enough that the stone had been worn smooth by centuries of disciplined feet. The air changed as they climbed: cooler, thinner, edged with mineral sharpne

Chapter: Chapter 150 - Forbidden Moments(Adelaide & Caelum) Adelaide closed her eyes, fighting the urge to lean back into him. Her lashes brushed warm skin as she squeezed them shut, as if darkness could save her from feeling. Her body remembered the water. The way his arms had come around her before his mind could object. The way his chest had risen, fast and shallow, when she cried. The way holding him had felt like relief, not danger. Like a shelter carved out of shadow instead of stone. She shouldn’t want that again. She did anyway. The wanting settled behind her ribs like a second heartbeat. The leather strap slipped through his fingers. His touch was careful, almost reverent now, as though he were handling something fragile instead of fastening armour. His knuckles hovered a breath away from her skin, hesitating before every adjustment. Each pause felt louder than speech. The space between them shrank. Her breath slowed, then stuttered when his fingers brushed her side again. Not an accident. A consequence of pro

Chapter: Chapter 149 - Careful Hands(Adelaide & Caelum) After dawn, the corridors carried sound differently. Each footstep echoed twice—once in the stone, and once in something older, deeper, as if the mountain itself was waiting beneath the surface. Warm air clung low to the floor, rising in slow, deliberate breaths from the vents beneath the tiles. It brushed their ankles like something alive, carrying the scent of sulphur, iron, and the ghost of yesterday’s fire. Cael did not trust the quiet. It followed them back through the corridors like a held breath, thick with unasked questions and things neither of them dared name. Adelaide walked slightly behind him, not quite close enough to touch, but close enough that her presence pressed against his awareness with every step. Her flame brushed the edges of his shadows like a curious hand testing heat. Each brush made his pulse stutter once, then correct itself, as if his body were counting sins. Cael’s shoulders rose and fell with measured breaths he didn’t need, as i

Chapter: Chapter 148 - Shadowed Secrets(Adelaide & Caelum) Cael froze. For one suspended heartbeat, he didn’t breathe. Didn’t move. His focus went to the darkness first, to the veil he had drawn around them. He felt the shadows tighten and settle, thick and soundless, holding fast against steam and light. No cracks. No thinning. The concealment remained absolute. Only then did he let himself register her. Hidden. Held. Safe, as safe as anything could be in Hell. His concealment was still locked, still listening, still swallowing the world outside them whole. He felt her weight lean into him, felt the warmth of her body through the water, felt the small, involuntary hitch of her breath as if she were bracing for rejection. That hitch broke something in him. Not dramatically. Quietly. Like a knot slipping. He couldn’t do it. His arms came up slowly, deliberately, as if he were convincing himself with each inch of movement. When his hands settled at her shoulders, they hovered for a second longer—hesitant, unsure—Then c

A Goddess Gifted by Fate
Zelena spent her life as a punching bag—for her father’s fists, for her classmates’ cruelty. Survival was her only purpose… until he walked in.

Gunner is everything she shouldn’t dare to want: towering, devastatingly handsome, with piercing blue eyes that strip away her defenses. He shouldn’t have noticed her—a shadow in a world that had long since discarded her. Yet he sees her. Truly sees her.
~
But why? Why would a man like him risk everything to shield her from the darkness? As their connection deepens, Zelena uncovers a terrifying truth—one that forces her to question not just Gunner’s motives, but the very essence of what she is…

“Mine” I growled lowly as I inserted my finger. I want to make this last. She was warm and moist, her skin soft and inviting. She put her arm over my back, digging her nails into my skin, she pulled me down so that my body was on top of her. “More” she whispered biting onto my earlobe. She tugged at my boxers pulling them down over my ass, I slid them down my legs to my ankles and kicked them off. My throbbing erection was pressed against her dripping s*x. I kissed her mouth rough and fast, taking her tongue in my mouth and giving her mine. “Are you ready?” I whispered...

Chapter: Chapter 467 - EpilogueZelena.Gunner’s arms came around my stomach, and he leaned his chin on my shoulder.“You okay?” he asked softly.“I’m good” I answered and reached up to tap his cheek. He turned his face and kissed the palm of my hand.“You were crying again” he said, like I hadn’t already known that.“Well, pregnant ladies cry, Mighty Alpha” I quipped and turned to face him with a smirk. He didn’t answer me right away, just gazed down at me.“You sure you’re alright?” he asked more gently. He cupped my cheek, and I leaned into his touch.“I’m fine. Thinking of Cole and Tobias just makes me sad sometimes”. Gunner smiled sadly and ran his thumb over the corner of my mouth.“Me too” he said softly before leaning in to press a soft kiss to my waiting lips.“I love you” I said, looking up into his beautiful blue eyes.“I love you more” he smiled back.“It’s not a competition” I grumbled and pinched his pec. He laughed and rubbed at the spot.“It’s not. There’s just more of you to love” he cooed and droppe

Chapter: Chapter 466 - The EndZelena.Grief is difficult. It’s a hard feeling to navigate. With the addition of my bouts of guilt and regret, I wasn’t sure I was ever going to find my way through it. If I’m honest, I’m still working my way through it. Every new day is different from the last. It’s strange, really. One day, I will be fine, filled with happiness and joy, enjoying my family and my life. The next, something as simple as hearing the term ‘Little One’ will set me off on hours of crying and wishing for things to be different. Grief is weird. It’s true when people say that you never actually get over the pain, you just learn to live with it. Not being alone with my pain is a huge help. Gunner and I are both working through our grief. Everyone is. Losing Cole, Tobias, and Aurora. Plus, Cleo and all the other fighters who sacrificed their lives. Those losses hit us all really hard.Even with all that loss, we’ve gained a lot as well. Thanks to Aurora, the hunters are basically extinct. A special team of Wer

Chapter: Chapter 465 - My EverythingWhiskey.“What’s happening to me?” I asked myself as I squeezed my arms around my body. I feel so... so empty.“I took your wolf” a voice came from behind me. I whirled around and stood up at the same time. Zelena stood a few steps away from me, with Gunner close at her side, his hand holding her hip protectively.“You what?” I blanched. She took my wolf, how is that possible?“I took your wolf. You’re not a Were anymore” Zelena answered immediately.“How do you feel, Whiskey?” Gunner asked, his voice was hard and angry. I ran my hands over my body, feeling the bumps of my scars and the strong muscles undeath my skin. I still feel the same, physically, at least. But inside, it doesn’t feel right. I’ve never been one for emotions, not unless that emotion is anger, of course. But my chest was tight with the need to cry. My mind was swimming with thoughts and feelings. Feelings I have never felt before, feelings I never thought I would feel, ever. I want a hug. I want to lie down and cry

Chapter: Chapter 464 - It's GoneWhiskey.I flew for her again, tackling her around the waist. We rolled and tumbled through the sky as I punched and punched at her face and body. Zelena grunted and huffed with each blow that I landed, but she didn’t scream. That alone was enough to set my anger over the edge. I pulled the power to my hands and formed Sai blades out of black ice. I stabbed at Zelena’s stomach and smirked as I felt the blade slice deep into her abdomen. She screamed in pain, which only made my smirk grow to a full smile. I pulled the blade out and stabbed again, drawing another scream from the witch. I couldn’t help myself, I twisted the blade and laughed manically. I reefed my blade back, and as I went to stab again, I was blocked. The blade evaporated in my hand, and the blue light that surrounded Zelena brightened.My body was suddenly engulfed in an air-constricting hold, and I was pulled away from Zelena. I watched in disgust as the electric swirls of light smothered Zelena. They washed over her

Chapter: Chapter 463 - I Want To Save YouWhiskey.I couldn’t wait, I reformed the swords of ice into one long spear and charged again, this time aiming for Zelena. Before the tip of the spear was able to pierce her heart, I was stopped. The spear in my grip evaporated, and my body was lifted off the ground. The dragon’s wings flapped as they lifted us into the air, not stopping until we were high above the trees. I tried to break free from Zelena’s hold, just like I did last time. But I couldn’t move, not even a wiggle of my finger. I shifted my gaze from the ground to Zelena and then my body. The hold on me wasn’t invisible this time. No, this time, my body was being held firmly in the grip of a giant dragon’s talon. I snarled at Zelena, who was floating just in front of me in the centre of the dragon’s glow. As I took her in, I saw the differences in her. Her eyes were now glowing a bright yellow with swirls of blue. She looked strong and powerful. Her arm was outstretched towards me, looking like she was holding something

Chapter: Chapter 462 - Let's Do ThisWhiskey.I squared my shoulders and re-clenched my fists. The snarl on my face was for me, for my own disgust. How could I be so naïve, so stupid, even to entertain the idea? My lips curled back, and a rumbling growl bubbled up from my chest.“Let’s do this” I snapped as I leapt forward, colliding my fist with the corner of Gunner’s chin. He stumbled back from the blow but quickly recovered. We traded punches as the both of us moved about the clearing. I imagine it would have looked like a well choreographed dance. I must admit, Gunner was well trained. He’s big and a little clumsy, and he could not match my speed, but he has power behind his hits. He is not at my level of combat, but he still managed to land a few good hits.Gunner was leading in for an uppercut, I ducked in the last second and drove an ice dagger into his abdomen. He grunted and stumbled back, quickly pulling the shard from his body before it evaporated into smoke. I pushed off the ground and flew through the air, c
