“The Hunter's Prey”

LKNocturne
In a world where an ancient mist draws both hunters and their prey into its hidden depths, John is a masterful monster slayer who stalks the forest beneath rain and pale moonlight, exterminating werewolves without hesitation. During his latest hunt, he annihilates a pack’s alpha and its followers but discovers a young shapeshifter—Seraphina—gravely wounded and teetering on the brink of death. Rather than surrender to hatred and finish her off, John carries her unconscious body back to the one place he calls home: a rustic cabin at the edge of a shadowy clearing. There, shackled by chains forged of silver and steel, Seraphina awakens with her senses still dulled by pain and an interrupted transformation. Though John demands information about the rest of her kind, her fierce resistance—mixed with his own bitterness—creates an almost unbearable tension. As he tends to her wounds—a gesture that contradicts everything he has ever believed to be right—a profound inner conflict arises: she is the chained beast seeking vengeance, and he is the hunter torn between his duty to destroy monsters and a dark curiosity that slowly threatens to unravel his resolve. Caught in a deadly game of hatred, survival, and forbidden attraction, John and Seraphina will discover that neither the line between human and beast nor the boundary between hunter and savior is as clear as they once believed.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
