Forgotten Princesses

Thrown from a world of science into one ruled by strength and survival, Alruna awakens in a strange land with no memory—only three daughters who call her "Mama" and a man she doesn't remember marrying. A gifted healer from a future long lost, Alruna must navigate the dangers of a medieval society where power is everything and her talents make her a target. As she slowly recovers her memories, she finds herself falling in love with Curtis, a steadfast beta whose quiet strength proves to be her greatest anchor. Together, they raise a family and fight to protect it from jealous rivals, political threats, and the shadows of Alruna's forgotten past. But when her half-sister Narah—a cunning omega with ambitions as sharp as her hatred—returns to claim what she believes is hers, Alruna must choose between survival and surrender. With danger closing in, her only hope lies in the fierce love she's discovered, the family she's come to cherish, and the village that now calls her its own. From amnesia to love, from exile to power—Alruna must rise, or lose everything she's fought to rebuild.

One silly dare in a crowded club. One clumsy puff of his cigarette. One choking cough that turned innocent giggles into something dangerous. Grace thought she was just playing a game with her friends. She never expected the man in the shadows, the one with the cold eyes and the lighter that flicked like a promise, would watch her every second after that. Adrian Valente doesn’t chase women. He claims them. Ruthless mafia king. Owner of the night. The kind of man who makes rooms go silent when he walks in, whose name alone is a warning carved in fear. She ran back to her table laughing. He stayed seated, cigarette forgotten, staring at the spot she’d left like she’d stolen something vital from his chest. Now he knows her name. Her laugh. The way her cheeks flush when she’s embarrassed. And Adrian Valente never forgets what belongs to him. One dare started it.One look sealed it. She has no idea the devil just decided she’s his. And devils don’t let go.

A mountain, once a towering monument to man's ambition, now sobbed rust and decay. Its skeletal skyscrapers clawed at a sky choked with ash, an endless darkness that reflected the desolation below. Here, where survival was a brutal equation of scavenged scraps and desperate violence, whispers clung to the crumbling ruins like the ever-present dust. Whispers of a legend, a shadow lurking in the deepest, forgotten heart of the mountain: a monster. They called him the Blood King, a name hissed with fear and reverence. Not just another vampire, but a predator whose power had once threatened to consume all of man-kind. He is said to be so great that no one was a match to his strength, his wrath so terrible, that the ancients themselves, the very inventors of their shadowed presence, had deemed him too dangerous to roam free. They imprisoned him, not in chains of iron, but in a cage of blood. A cage that could only be unlocked by the one whose essence was his destined key, his chosen one. A cruel contradiction, a punishment designed to bind him for eternity. Unknown to them all that the blood king’s chosen one was a human adventurer, who lived for the thrill and would do anything for a fearful adventure.

One that could bring down the Grey family. Someone wants those secrets buried forever, even if it means destroying her again. Now what could be the reason behind the scar on her neck?

“Tell me, Thalia, does it hurt to be cast aside, thrown to the wolves?” I laughed harshly, “Is this what it feels like? To be nothing?
