Pride Stories

When Roderic Volkov, the most feared mafia boss in the underworld, realized his enemies would stop at nothing to destroy him, he made the hardest decision of his life-sending his five-year-old son away. Hidden. Forgotten. The boy was sent to India under a new name-Shivay. For fifteen years, the underworld believed the youngest Volkov heir had disappeared from existence. But the truth? He didn't disappear. He grew. And he grew dangerous. At twenty, the long-lost Volkov heir finally returns to the dark halls of the Volkov mafia mansion. But the boy who walks through those doors looks nothing like a mafia prince. He looks... harmless. Soft eyes. Gentle voice. Cute face. The kind of person who looks like he might cry if someone raises their voice. The hardened mafia members of the Volkov mansion panic. "Don't scare him." "He looks fragile." "Why does the boss's son look like a Disney prince?" Everyone tries to be careful around the adorable boy who grew up in India. The cute boy isn't innocent. He's a walking disaster. Sassy. Dramatic. Sharp-tongued. A complete diva who roasts mafia assassins like it's a hobby. Beneath that angelic face hides a devil who fears absolutely nothing. And the most dangerous part? He enjoys chaos. Meanwhile, across the city, Alessandro De Luca, the cold and merciless head of the De Luca mafia, has built a reputation that terrifies even the most powerful families. He rarely speaks-and when he does, it's usually someone's death sentence. Emotionless. Untouchable. Ruthless. Until the day he meets Alexander Volkov's younger brother. The sassy, sharp-mouthed boy who looks like a harmless angel but talks like a demon. For the first time in his life, Alessandro De Luca finds himself...Obsessed. Because the mafia prince everyone is trying to protect? He might actually be the most dangerous person in the room. The cutest devil might be the deadliest of them all.

Callum Montgomery, the general's son, is a walking storm reckless, arrogant, and untouchable. No rule could contain him. No person could tame him. That is, until his father brings in a calm but sharp-tongued therapist named Elian, a man from a quiet, ordinary life far from the chaos of military power. Elian never expected his next client to be a spoiled brute with a punchable smirk and a temper as dangerous as his past. And Callum never expected a simple civilian to stand up to him to challenge him, resist him, and see right through the armor he's worn for years. What starts as fiery arguments and endless power struggles slowly turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances, and a tension that's harder to ignore with every passing day. They weren't supposed to feel anything. But love doesn't follow orders. A story of pride, power, and the unexpected softness of falling for the last person you'd ever expect.

Highest rating so far: ●#1 demonprince ●#3 highschoolexperience [ Intro\ summary] Alyscia has two identities. By day, she is a normal high school girl, navigating through the social circle of a prestigious school. But by night, her real self can't be hidden. The third choirmaster of the angelic order, cast out from the heavenly realm. But she isn't roaming round listless. She has a goal. And it pulls her deeper into the abyss. She won't let herself be controlled by anyone. Not even by him- Azaelion. The prince of the infernal kingdom. The silent horror of the three realms. To him, she is an anomaly. A flaw in the system. Something that he can bend, to make a utility. But Alyscia won't submit. And he doesn't tolerate resistance. Because in a world where dark magic is custom, where everyone has a double identity, where manipulation thrives... Pride is the one sin that refuses to kneel. _ ◇◆This story narrates a gradual growth. It shows the challenges Alyscia faces as a student and as a fallen angel. It is mainly a fantasy story purely fiction with slow-burn-romance and alot of dark magic involved. It also includes manipulation, degree of violence, obsessive behaviour and others. Not to discourage you, but this is just a small warning. Read and follow Alyscia's adventures. ◆◇ Also, the first chapters may be a little tense with a lot of mystery but trust me, it gets better the more you read.🖤❤️‍🔥

Ryazan, one of the grandest cities in all Rus', lays along the war path of thousands of Tatar warriors eager to seize the spoils of a short-fought campaign: the women of the city and gold from its treasury. Having set up camp just beyond the city, they await a reply from the envoys of Grand Prince Yuriy. As the Grand Prince deliberates, his boyars both caution and counsel him. If Ryazan falls, the rest of Rus' may be next ─ an outcome his people grow ever more wary of, turning to priests and heretics alike as rumor and fear run rampant inside the city walls. Finally left untended, the Polovtsian princess Yanay, conquered once before, now betrothed to one of the Grand Prince's brothers, quietly observes these developments. She prays to her old gods when she can and aligns herself with a young Tatar captive and quick-thinking kinsman, all the while secretly seeking her freedom and revenge. ──────── ☽ ◯ ☾ ──────── A retelling of the Siege of Ryazan complete with rageful women and warrior princes; gods both kind and cunning; and tragedy aplenty.
