Josephine Raphelia is a Siren who has been running from the King of Valencia her whole life, and when the day finally comes that she is taken captive by who she believes to be one of the king's guards, she soon begins to realize that nothing is as it seems in her world. 

The people she once thought she could trust are filled with secrets and betrayals and as she meets new allies along the route to her freedom, she unravels the plots in her life while also trying to cling to a family she never knew but will fight with her last breath to protect.

Venture to Uncertainty (#1) by tarishannon18

It's a deadly plan, and it goes like this: First, become a crew member of the Avourienne, a pirate ship notorious for its charismatic captain and wicked ways. Second, trick the ship's cunning strategist, famous for winning every game she's ever played, into believing a delicately spun lie. Third, get close enough to their tyrant king to put a knife through him. Deadly doesn't quite describe such a plan. In fact, inconceivable may be the better word. But Archer Kingsley has a knack for such things, and he feels he's going to pull off this plan with the ease he does most everything. Perhaps he's not quite aware of the absolute hell that's about to break loose, but truthfully, it's so much better that way. Because true adventures are born from uncertainty. * Cover by xxsoteria Mature themes you may encounter in this book: - harsh language (it's a pirate book) - violence (it's a pirate book) - sexual implications (it's a PIRATE book) However, this story does not violate any of Wattpad's mature guidelines and therefore is not marked as such.

The price of freedom was steep, but she can find no fault in paying it. That is, until the shadows start to stir and trouble finds her once more. When Felix--her friend and former assassin--is taken, Aiko is faced with a difficult choice: to let him go or to risk her life to save his. The farther she wanders from the safety of Niveus, the deeper she wades into the truth of the phoenix god and its Ember Core. All actions have consequences, and the primordial gods are not so forgiving to those that disrupt their order for selfish humanity. With the destruction of the Ember Core, the world between worlds is crumbling, and the Core Reapers are desperate to mend it--no matter what it costs the human realm. Held captive for meddling with the Core, Felix finds himself at the mercy of the Reapers to pay for Aiko's mistakes. With time and the gods against her, Aiko races to rescue him before it's too late. However, she won't have to do it alone. Magic abounds where Cores are born, and Niveus is not the only kingdom with a god-given gift. She joins forces with another Bright Soul: a young girl on a similar quest to find her missing sister. Together, they may be able to mend the world between worlds and save the ones they care for most. But the price of freedom is always a little more than one is willing to pay. ~𝐒𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 ~Completed!

His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.

Forbidden Union: The Evil Prince's Temptation by authorwalentine

[Mature Content | 18+] "It was you, wasn't it, Lucian?" Damian's voice boomed with anger, sending shivers down Sera's spine. Whispers of the Darkling's ruthless nature had reached her ears, and she wondered if they were true. It couldn't be, could it? "What if it was me? Damian, grow up. She's not even human. How could she be your soulmate? We are Darklings, defined by power," Lucian retorted, his eyes widening as he looked at Sera. With trepidation, she nodded slightly, still fearful of Lucian's gaze. Before he could speak again, Damian unleashed his powers, ending Lucian's life in a macabre spectacle. The room reeked of blood as Lucian collapsed. "D-Damian!" Sera's voice quivered with shock and concern. "You have no idea what else I had in store for you. Be glad," Damian said, meeting Seraphina's eyes. Fear lurked in her gaze-a stark contrast to the strong woman he loved. He never wanted her to fear him. Driven by impulse, Damian pulled her close, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Their connection was intense, their hunger insatiable. "Don't be afraid of me, princess. Never," he whispered between kisses, reassuring her. She couldn't help but pull him into another deep kiss. - Update schedule: 2 chapters/day
