The king who shouldn't want me

Luckie2
Yuto was not a prince. But she had played one her whole life. Raised as a boy to save her family's throne, she learned to hide everything. Her body. Her voice. Her heart. No one ever got close enough to see the truth. Then she met King Kaelith. He was different. He looked at her like he wanted to eat her alive. He stood too close. He touched her like he had the right. And one night, he cornered her. Kaelith leaned in. His lips brushed her ear. Yuto froze. He dragged his nose down her neck and breathed her in. "You smell toxic, my little rabbit." Her heart raced. She wanted to grab his hair. She wanted to lick his face. She had never felt anything like this before. But she couldn't. She shouldn't. He was a king. She was a lie. And if he found out what she was hiding under all those layers, everything would fall apart. Except he already knew. He had known for weeks. He just hadn't touched her. Yet. Now Yuto was trapped in his court, pretending to be a prince while a king watched her like prey. He didn't want to expose her. He wanted to break her. Slowly. Piece by piece. And the worst part? She wanted him to.

A TOWN FULL OF EVIL

Ajeji Village, once a quiet, humble town, hides shadows darker than anyone dares imagine. When Adegboyega returns to his childhood home after years away, he immediately senses that something is wrong—the air feels heavy, the silence is unnatural, and the familiar streets seem alien. What was once home now feels like a trap. As he moves through the village, he discovers that Ajeji is no ordinary place. Beneath its thatched roofs and dusty lanes lurk evil forces, manipulating the villagers and feeding on fear. Strange deaths, inexplicable events, and whispers of curses paint a picture of a town that thrives on darkness. Adegboyega, drawn by memories of his father and his own past, must navigate treacherous alliances, uncover hidden secrets, and confront forces far beyond human understanding. Throughout the first 21 chapters, the story unfolds as a tense battle between the ordinary and the supernatural. Adegboyega encounters allies and enemies alike—some villagers are unwilling pawns, others harbor dark intentions, and some, like his own family’s legacy, tie him inexorably to the town’s fate. Every step closer to the truth reveals deeper layers of corruption and ancient malevolence. By chapter 21, the stakes escalate: Adegboyega must face not just the town’s evil, but the shadows within himself. The village’s mysteries begin to intertwine with his own destiny, forcing him to question what is real, who can be trusted, and whether he can survive the darkness he has returned to confront. Ajeji Village is a story of suspense, horror, and the human struggle against unseen forces—where every shadow hides a secret, and every secret comes with a price.
