m Description: Elric Thorne always believed he was destined for greatness-mainly because a talking goat once told him so. Armed with an ancient prophecy he definitely misinterpreted, a spellbook he can barely read, and a magical sword with better comedic timing than combat skills, Elric sets out to save the kingdom of Virelia from a looming darkness. What he didn't expect was to be roped into a political scandal involving a runaway princess who moonlights as a thief, a shape-shifting fox spirit with a hoarding problem, and a rival hero who might actually be the Chosen One. Along the way, Elric finds himself at the heart of a mystery involving vanishing cities, cursed love letters, and a forgotten war locked away in time. Between dodging assassins, accidentally summoning gelatinous monsters, and falling in love with someone he's technically supposed to betray, Elric realizes heroism is a lot messier-and funnier-than the bards make it sound.

The Enchanted Mishaps of Elric Thorne Chapter 1 1. Chapter 1:The Goat and the Drunken Prophecy

Chapter 1: The Goat, the Spellbook, and the Drunken Prophecy

Elric Thorne had three core beliefs:He was destined for greatness.

Magic was mostly about confidence and hand gestures.

Talking to goats in taverns was a perfectly valid way to interpret prophecy.

He wasn't exactly the most promising wizard in the village of Thistlewhip. In fact, he wasn't even technically a wizard. He'd flunked out of the Royal Academy of Arcane Arts after setting the Dean's wig on fire during a demonstration on "controlled combustion." Since then, his magical resume included: summoning frogs into people's ale mugs, enchanting a pair of boots to sprint off mid-walk, and accidentally marrying a broom.

So when the goat-smelling vaguely of ale and existential dread-leaned across the tavern table and bleated, "You are the One, Elric Thorne," he believed it. Partly because the goat had glowing red eyes. Mostly because he really wanted it to be true.

"Did anyone else see that?" Elric asked the room, which mostly responded with disinterest, grumbling, and one peasant throwing up in a bucket.

Thus began the greatest adventure of his life. And possibly the dumbest.

The next morning, Elric stood outside his cottage with his sword, his boots (now legally single), and a spellbook titled "Practical Prophecy: How to Save the World Before Breakfast." The book was written in Ancient Vernacular, which Elric could only kind of understand. He assumed that "Ignitium Arcanum!" meant "Summon Breakfast." It did not. It summoned a very angry fire sprite that immediately lit his front door on fire.

By the time he reached the edge of the village, smoke curling behind him like a dramatic exit plume, Elric was ready.

"Where are we going?" asked his sword, who introduced himself earlier that morning with: "Put me down, you idiot!"

"I'm not sure yet," Elric admitted. "But the goat said the world needed saving."

"Oh, well if a goat said it," the sword replied dryly. "Do you often take orders from livestock?"

Elric narrowed his eyes. "Only if they speak with gravitas."

Their first stop was the capital: Ivory Hollow, seat of the High Court, home to at least seventeen kinds of soup, and the place where everything went downhill.

Elric entered the city looking like a confused scarecrow, his cloak billowing, his boots squeaking, and his sword muttering profanity at passersby. He had barely made it two steps into the marketplace when a delicate hand tugged his sleeve.

"You dropped this," said a girl with wide, innocent eyes and a voice like bells. She held out a small, shiny coin.

"I don't-" he began.

She leaned in and whispered, "Play along. You're about to be robbed."

That's when he noticed three burly men surrounding him, eyes locked on his satchel.

"Oh," he said.

"Run?" she suggested.

"Run."

They sprinted through winding alleys, over cabbage carts, and through a chicken coop. Eventually, they dove behind a pile of discarded cloaks in the alley. Elric caught his breath, heart pounding, feathers in his hair.

"I'm Mira," the girl said, grinning. "You owe me a drink."

"Only if you explain how you knew I was being robbed."

"I was robbing you first," she said sweetly.

Elric blinked. His sword sighed. Somewhere in the distance, a goat laughed.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
