Introduction
The day the IVF succeeded was when I realized Michael had deceived me all along.
He had only used me as a surrogate for my sister.
When I confronted him, he tested me, forcing me to kill someone. "Afraid to pull the trigger? Doesn't seem like my kind of woman," he sneered.
I tried to run, but he caught me.
He kept me locked away, forced me to eat foods I was allergic to until I needed my stomach pumped, and chained me to the bed while he went off with her.
I cried until I had no tears left—and finally learned how to hold a gun.

Chapter 1
Two weeks after the IVF procedure, the doctor finally called to tell me it had worked..
I couldn't wait to tell Michael the good news.
But at the door of the private room on the second floor, I heard the conversation inside.
"Mr. Johnson, you're really something! That engagement party two years ago—you planned it perfectly." His subordinate laughed flatteringly. "Drugging her, catching them in the act, getting the Smith family to kick Olivia out, and Henry turning around to get engaged to Emily right away... Olivia actually thought you'd take responsibility for her reputation. So naively adorable."
My footsteps froze on the stairs.
I was theOlivia who got kicked out by the Smith family.
Two years ago, at the Smiths and Phillips' engagement party, someone slipped something into my drink. I ended up in bed with Michael, completely out of it, and my parents and Henry walked in and caught us.
My father publicly disowned me, and Henry immediately got engaged to my sister Emily.
Only Michael stood by me, promising he would marry me.
"Back then, everyone was surprised you married Olivia. Now that Emily has been found unable to have kids, you can have Olivia be her surrogate. Guess you really planned ahead!"
"Henry's sperm quality is indeed excellent—succeeded on the first try." Michael's voice was casual, with a hint of pride. "Once the baby is born, Emily can secure her position in the Phillips family."
My world collapsed in that moment.
The baby in my belly... was my brother-in-law's?
"Women are easy to fool." Michael continued, "Henry wants the Smith family's connections. Emily can't have children, so her sister will. Either way, it's still the Smith and Phillips bloodlines—it doesn't matter who gives birth."
Tears gradually blurred my vision. I turned to go downstairs.
"Mrs. Johnson?"
A subordinate carrying drinks came up from below, looking surprised to see me standing on the stairs.
The conversation in the room stopped abruptly.
The door was flung open.
Michael strode out, his eyes falling on my tear-stained face.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Olivia? Why are you crying?"
After living with him for two years, I knew he was suspicious.
He was wondering whether I'd heard their conversation.
Thinking fast, I said, "Just now... someone bumped into me on the stairs. I twisted my ankle. I tried to tough it out, but..." I bit my lip, tears still streaming down my face. "It really hurts."
Michael's eyes darkened. "It hurts that much?"
He walked toward me. I stood still, suppressing my urge to back away.
The next second, he swept me up in his arms. "Come on, let's go down and find out who bumped into you."
He carried me downstairs. In the bustling first-floor hall, guests parted to make way, and dozens of subordinates immediately gathered around.
"Who bumped into my wife?" Michael's voice was cold as ice. The entire banquet hall fell silent instantly.
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would explode.
Just point at someone randomly. This marriage was built on lies anyway—what's one more lie?
I raised my hand, trembling, and pointed at a young subordinate in the crowd.
His face turned deathly pale. "Mr... Mr. Johnson, I didn't..."
Michael pulled out a gun with one hand, the dark barrel aimed at the man's head.
Guests screamed and backed away, but no one dared to leave.
"No!" I grabbed his arm, pushing the gun barrel down. "Forget it, I was just careless..."
"Baby." Michael turned to look at me, his eyes dangerous like a viper's. "Getting bullied and still not daring to strike back—that's not like my woman."
My body went rigid.
He set me down on the ground, then pressed the gun into my hand. "Since he's the one who bumped into you... then you shoot him yourself."
The cold metal pressed against my palm.
I started trembling.
His breath fell on my ear, like a snake hissing beside me: "What’s wrong? Too scared to pull the trigger? Were you lying to me?"

I never knew my blood could kill a king—until I met one. Sebastian, the ruthless and immortal King, rules with precision. For centuries, he's ruled with ruthless precision, his heart as cold as the stone throne beneath him. One moment, I'm nothing. The next, I'm his obsession. His touch burns like ice fire. His stare follows me through shadows. And when he feeds from me—God help me—it feels like drowning in darkness and craving more. He tells me my blood is unlike any he's tasted, that my scent drives him to the edge of madness.
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

Kaelani spent her life believing she was wolfless.
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.

He thought the worst thing he had ever done was losing me.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret

After college, Lucas pursued me relentlessly.
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
