The Demon King's Obsession - undefined novels & stories
giftieluv
Lysan knows how this story ends. He killed the Demon King once. Then he was poisoned for it. When he wakes in a stranger's body sixty years before his own birth, he has one plan: disappear totally. But the Demon King is alive again—young, beautiful, and already watching Lysan like he's the most fascinating thing he's ever seen. Roman Da'Luka doesn't know Lysan killed him in another life. He doesn't know something ancient is sleeping inside him. All he knows is that he can't look away, that Lysan is different. That he can't stay away, and the more Lysan pushes him back, the more he wants to pull him closer. And Lysan—Lysan tells himself he hates Roman. That he's just a monster waiting to unfold. That every touch means nothing. But every touch burns. Every whispered promise feels like a warning. Roman offers him everything—answers, protection, a place by his side. And when Roman kisses him, Lysan kisses back. When Roman whispers that he wants him—Lysan's heart betrays him before his mind can catch up. Dyleon was the only person who looked at Lysan with pure, selfless love. Dyleon is gone now—walked out after watching Lysan kiss the monster he's supposed to hate. Now Lysan has a choice. He can let the Entity consume Roman and everyone he loves. Or he can get closer to the monster he's supposed to hate. Make Roman trust him—need him, and make Roman fall in love with him. But Roman's obsession is dangerous—and intoxicating. The more Lysan pretends, the more he forgets it's a game. The more Roman touches him, the harder it is to remember the lie. He's supposed to be saving everyone. Instead, he's falling for the one person who will destroy him and the one that makes him feel alive.

MadlainQ
“Why… am I in your bedroom?” My voice dropped into a whisper. He breathed out a laugh, the sound carrying a dangerously dark allure. He sat on the bed, and I hurriedly curled up my legs, desperate to gain more distance. He saw the movement, and his lips curled up. “You don't remember anything from last night, do you?” “L-last night?” I stuttered, crawling back against the headboard. “I bought you.” My body shuddered. I slowly lifted my head, facing him. “What… do you mean?” A smirk appeared. “You were a pretty item on the auction, and now you're mine.” *** After years of cruelty and abuse, I finally escaped from the one who hurt me, but my freedom was more fragile than I thought. I had run away from brutal prison only to be sold at the auction and locked up in a golden cage. My new owner was Grey Maledetti, the wealthiest and most feared man in New York. I thought I could escape him, but he wouldn't free me from his grasp. The more I tried to resist, the harder I was drawn toward him. He was dangerous. He was possessive. He was intoxicating. I breathed him in like a drug, slowly becoming an addict. I thought he would destroy me; instead, he mended what was broken. He embraced my every weakness and lent me his deadly strength. Grey Maledetti is no knight in shining armor. He is the King of Hell, and now his blade is pointed at those who hurt me…

Selene Souchon
I was born looking like the monsters my people feared. Pale skin. Silver hair. Features that made strangers recoil and my own family look at me with shame. In a world where humans and vampires have spent centuries locked in a fragile coexistence, resembling the enemy was enough to make me an outcast. So when our King demanded a bride for the Vampire Crown Prince to preserve the peace between our kingdoms, no one objected when I was chosen. I was never meant to return. Determined to despise the monsters who had stolen everything from me, I entered the Vampire Kingdom expecting bloodshed and cruelty. Instead, I found Mavros Moldark — the enigmatic prince, heir to a throne built on blood, whose silence concealed more secrets than the countless rumors surrounding his name. But the greatest danger wasn’t the prince. It was the kingdom itself. Behind gilded halls and royal smiles, every noble has an agenda. Every alliance comes with a price. Every whispered secret has the power to start a war. As I become entangled in the deadly struggle for the vampire throne, I begin to uncover truths that shatter everything I thought I knew about humans, vampires… and myself. Because peace was never the goal. I wasn’t sent to the Vampire Kingdom to become a bride. I was sent there to become a pawn. And I was the truth both kingdoms were willing to kill for.

Pulling up his right hand from his pocket, he grips onto my nape, bringing my face infront of his, mingling our breaths. I attach my hands to his chest in an attempt to put some distance between us.

You are already trapped” he speaks against my skin. Sparks erupt through my body, travelling down my spine and settling between my legs. Another hand going around my waist pulling me closer to dig his face deeper into my neck. “No wonder you always had men swarming around you all the time!” his deep growls affecting me in a way it shouldn’t.
