Haunted: The House That Breathes at Night

armojay2025
After fifteen years away, Ethan Walker returns to the abandoned Walker House on the outskirts of Blackwood Hollow following his father Jonathan Walker’s unexplained death. The will leaves Ethan only one inheritance—the old mansion that locals refuse to name, calling it the breathing house. They warn him not to stay after nightfall. The house listens. From the first evening, Ethan senses something wrong. Doors close on their own. Footsteps echo in empty corridors. Whispers seep through the walls, speaking his name with familiarity. The house seems to remember him—his childhood fears, his guilt, and the night he fled and never looked back. As the nights deepen, Ethan uncovers a buried family secret. Decades ago, the Walkers performed a forbidden ritual to bind restless spirits within the house, using them as protection from a greater darkness lurking beneath the land. The ritual failed, trapping the souls in endless torment—and binding the Walker bloodline to the house forever. Jonathan tried to break the curse. The house devoured him instead. Now the spirits grow desperate. Rooms shift, mirrors bleed memories, and shadows take human form. The house is no longer content with haunting—it wants a keeper. Someone who belongs to it. As reality fractures and time collapses inside the mansion, Ethan must choose: destroy the house and release the trapped souls at the cost of his own life, or accept his fate as the next guardian, becoming another voice whispering from within its walls. Some houses are haunted. This one remembers who you are.

Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.
