Introduction
It's everything I've ever wanted.....
Until all my dreams come crashing down.
My "brother" hates me.
He's not the same boy that left our house on his way to greatness. He wants nothing to do with me and treats me worse than his enemy.
Until I see him with a girl.
And now he doesn't look like my brother anymore.
He looks like the hot jock every female on campus drool over.
This is wrong.
I shouldn't be looking at him in this light.
And he shouldn't touch me like he's ready to devour me.
He's my brother.
Or isn't he?
The lines are blurred, and the foundation shaken underneath my feet in lust and sin.
Secrets are whispered over feverish skin, forbidden kisses shared in dark corners.
But it's never enough.
I need more.
Chapter 1
There's excitement in the air when I get out of my car, smiling as I inhale the oxygen of my new home. At least for the next four years.
I want to dance, and shout in excitement that I'm finally here! The summer dragged on where I was working in a diner to save up money, working any and every shift I could.
Even with a scholarship, I know things are expensive and I don't want to put any more burden on my single mother.
She already got me the car. It's small, and second hand, but it runs like a dream.
My phone rings in my hand, and I smile at Mom's face, accepting the video call.
"Are you safe?" She asks immediately.
She could track me, so she knows I'm safe.
"Yes, Mom, I just stopped at my dorm."
"I really wished you would've let me go with you." There's regret in her eyes.
Then she had to pay for a flight ticket back, and I didn't want that.
"Mom, I'm here, and I'm safe, okay. I will send you pictures as soon I decorated my side of the room." I roll my eyes at her with a smile. "I love you, bye."
"Call Cole!" She yells before I make kissy faces at her and end the call, immediately calling my brother to tell him I've arrived.
His phone just rings, so I decide to call him back later. He's probably busy, he always is.
Also, he was really weird when he came home for two weeks over summer break. He hardly spoke to Mom and me, always getting on his motorcycle and staying out late at night.
He was almost never home, and we hardly saw him.
I register at the front desk, and get my keys to my room. The welcoming committee is very cute and two girls help me carry my stuff up two flights of stairs.
The dorm room is not much, but Mom made me a personalised quilt with pictures of me, her and Cole over the years to bring a little bit of home with me. I also have some of her art work, leaving my side of the room colourful and pretty for the small space.
I'm busy packing my clothes in the drawers underneath my bed when the door opens and a busty blonde dragging two suitcases enters in a flurry.
"Oh! Hi!" I rush to hold the door for her.
"Thank you! I'm Chrystal." She blows her hair out of her face and smiles at me. "You must be Monet, right?"
"That's me!" I beam. "I hope you don't mind me already choosing a side."
Her eyes go to where my bed is already made and the artworks I pinned on the wall.
"Oh no, I think my side is going to look dull and boring now."
"I'm sure it won't." I chuckle.
"And please excuse my mom, my parents are on their way up, she can be a little invasive."
Her words aren't even cold when a stylish woman enters the room and introduces herself as Chrystal's mother, who proceeds to decorate her daughter's side in nudes and pastels.
I excuse myself so they can have some space is the small room, and head downstairs to call Cole again.
"Yes." His voice sounds gruff when he actually answers.
"Well, hello to you too. I just wanted to let you know I've arrived at my dorm." I look at all the students moving in. "Mom said I had to call you, so I'm calling you."
"I'll be there in half an hour." He disconnects the call, without saying anything else, leaving me to look at the screen in confusion.
What the hell is his problem? Did he forget his phone etiquette or something?
We used to be so close with Cole only being two years older than me. He came to live with us when he was six and his mother was brutally killed.
Unfortunately, he witnessed her murder, leaving the six year old traumatised. Mom did everything she could, took him to psychologist after psychologist, but he didn't speak to anyone. Not to her, and certainly not to his doctors.
But he spoke to me.
And only me.
When nobody was watching, and we were playing, he would tell me about his mother. How beautiful she was, and how kind, and that he's very sad that she's gone.
I was only a kid, but it's funny how I remember that. I used to hug him when he told me he was sad, and he used to cling to me.
He changed when he picked up a football, though, he began talking and laughing. Mom was so happy, she took on odd jobs so she could give him everything he needed when it came to football.
Cole lost his mother, and she lost her best friend.
Mom always says Cole's mother left him to her so she could always have a part of her.
My father said he didn't sign up to take care of a child that wasn't his, and he left too. Cole felt guilty, but Mom assured him she didn't lose anything, and she would choose him in a million lifetimes.
Yeah, my mother is really badass.
I'm still sitting on a bench in front of the dorms when a black truck pulls up, and I jump up with a wide smile when Cole's best friend, Luke jumps out of the passenger side and runs to me when he sees me walking over.
"Stinker!"
I laugh at the stupid nickname he gave me when we were kids, and hug him tightly when he picks me up and swings me around.
"Put her down." A deep voice says from the truck, and I'm still laughing when he puts me back on my feet, turning towards Cole who is standing there with a bouquet of white roses in his hand.
"Is that for me!" I walk closer to embrace him, but he has his strong jaw clenched and he holds the roses out so I wouldn't touch him. "That's so sweet, thank you."
He shrugs and shoves his hands in his shorts' pockets when I take it from him. "Kamila said I should get you something to welcome you."
His blue eyes roam over my body, and he clenches his jaw even harder when those bright blues settle on my face.
"Where's your bike?" I look at the shiny, new truck.
"Had to sell it, Coach said it was too dangerous."
My smile drops. "You loved that bike."
"Well, we can't always have what we want." He says harshly before opening the driver's door. "See you around."
"See you, Stinker!" Luke ruffles my hair, and I swat playfully at his arm before watching them leave.
What the hell is going on with Cole?
He's always been a quiet guy, but he's never been this cold.
Not to me anyway.

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.
From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.

Lightborn: The Demon’s Bond
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
