Alpha, Say My Name

He was the feral Alpha King buried beneath the mountain. She was the cursed girl they offered to him as sacrifice to end the famine plaguing their lands. Ruvan, the first Alpha. Imprisoned, driven to utter madness, and starved of power. Solenne, the packless she-wolf rumored to be cursed and bring misfortune to all who cross paths with her. With the power of cursed speech, she is able to kill and bend the world to her will with only one word. To avoid hurting others, she hasn't spoken a single syllable since she was a child. Feared and rejected by her own people, she is given to the mountain in a forbidden ritual-sacrifice... and her scent stirs the beast that slumbers beneath it. His mate. Ruvan will stop at nothing to claim what's his, even if that means storming the heavens and finding the cure to her curse just to hear her speak his name. ---- She saw stars behind her eyes and felt constellations carved into her skin with every lingering touch and each press of his mouth. He painted the night sky onto her body, not with a brush, but with his lips, hands, and his insatiable hunger—until her lungs were empty and her heart soared so high it must’ve kissed the moon. “Solenne,” Ruvan murmured, voice low and reverent, like a prayer. She shivered; the sound of her name on his lips felt like heaven. Ruvan pressed his palm to her stomach, anchoring her as he leaned in, mouth brushing the hollow of her throat. His hand rose, slow and shaking, tracing the shape of her jaw like it was a sight made only for him. His thumb brushed the corner of her mouth and his eyes burned as he studied her. “You feel like the stars,” he whispered, “Mesmerizing and bright... something that I want to capture and keep to myself." And then he kissed her; it was a deep, aching vow he couldn’t speak aloud. A promise made only in breath, heat, and need. When they parted, he gently pressed his forehead against hers. His voice dipped lower… uncertain, maybe even afraid: “Say my name?” -- R18, werewolves, fated love, weak to strong... I hope you enjoy my second entry for 2025 WSA. :) give it a shot~

Set in the opulent yet perilous halls of the Song Dynasty, Crown and Blade tells the story of Prince Long Xun, the third prince of the empire, and Wu Lanyin, the fierce and intelligent daughter of a loyal general. Born into a world of luxury, power, and political intrigue, their lives are destined to collide amidst schemes, betrayal, and dark secrets that threaten the very throne. The empire is rife with tension. Empress Han Lian, Long Xun’s mother, carefully maneuvers the palace politics to protect her children, while the ambitious Consort Wei Zhen schemes for her son, Crown Prince Long Zhao, to ascend the throne. Behind the gilded walls, alliances are fragile, loyalties are tested, and danger hides in every shadow. Wu Lanyin, trained in martial arts and strategy, steps into this treacherous world when her family becomes entwined with the palace. Her path crosses with the courageous and determined Long Xun, sparking a connection neither can ignore. Together, they navigate assassination attempts, secret societies, and the manipulations of the cunning Grand Chancellor Qiu Der. Yet, love in a world of swords and betrayal is never simple. Loyalties are challenged, past sins resurface, and hidden enemies—the infamous Assassination Foundation—move closer to striking the imperial family. With every step, Long Xun and Wu Lanyin are drawn deeper into a web of danger, mystery, and forbidden romance. “Crown and Blade” is a fast-paced, sweeping tale of romance, action, political intrigue, and dark secrets, where love and loyalty are tested against the backdrop of a kingdom on the brink of chaos. Will the third prince and the general’s daughter survive the shadows that threaten to consume them, or will the throne demand a price too high for even the bravest hearts?

The Dragon's Heart: Unspoken Passion

Princess Ilaria of Caelwyn was married for duty. Yet while her kingdom sees only politics, her heart beats for the man she has loved in secret for years. Determined to turn a one-sided love into something real, Ilaria quietly weaves tenderness into every moment, never knowing that behind courtly smiles and shifting alliances, her devotion may become both her greatest strength and her deepest undoing. ---×--- EXCERPT: "You're staring again," Levan muttered, not even bothering to look up from the document in his hand as he continued skimming through the request from his knights. "I'm allowed to," Ilaria replied, chin propped on her hands, her eyes gleaming like a cat who'd cornered her prey as she sat smughly right in front of his desk. "You're my husband." "That doesn't make it any less distracting." She grinned, tilting her head. "Distracting in a good way, I hope?" Levan finally glanced back at her, expression flat as ever. "No. In a very bothersome way." "Mm, liar," she hummed. She slid her arms onto the table and rested her chin on them, tilting her head just enough so she could peek up at him. Eyes twinkling. "If I was truly bothersome, you would've thrown me out of the room already." His lips twitched — the faintest, almost imperceptible crack in his composure. "Don't tempt me." "Tempt you?" she gasped softly, feigning innocence as her smile grew mischievous. "So you are tempted." Levan sighed, folding the paper closed. "You're insufferable." "And you're handsome," she declared proudly, blowing him a flying kiss as if she'd won a war. For a man who claimed to feel nothing, his ears betrayed him — flushed red against his raven hair as he quietly let her stay where she was.
