Introduction
But everything changes when she catches the attention of four dangerous Alpha brothers—Brian, Ray, Aaron, and Lysander Night.
They are feared, desired, and powerful enough to make every girl at college fall at their feet. Yet Bailey is the only one who refuses to be impressed by them.
Soon, the four Alphas discover a shocking truth: Bailey isn't just another human girl. She is their shared mate—and the key to breaking their family's deadly curse.
But there's a catch.
To break the curse, Bailey may have to die.
As forbidden desires turn into dangerous love and hidden secrets begin to surface, Bailey must uncover the truth about her mysterious birth before the Alpha General gets what he wants.
Four Alphas. One human mate. One deadly curse.
And a choice that could destroy them all.
Chapter 1
Bailey Brooke pressed a trembling hand against her chest, struggling to swallow past the unbearable dryness in her throat. It felt as though every drop of moisture had been drained from her body overnight, leaving her desperate for water.
Then a sharp pain seized her chest.
She doubled over, clutching at her throat as blood rose into her mouth and spilled onto the marble floor.
Not again.
Her heart condition had struck without warning, just as it had done countless times before. She clenched her fists, fighting to remain quiet despite the pain twisting through her chest. She couldn't afford to wake her foster mother.
Not at this hour.
All she needed was water. A full glass, perhaps two. Surely that would ease the terrible dryness consuming her.
But the thought of leaving her bedroom terrified her almost as much as the pain itself.
Her foster mother had made one rule painfully clear: Bailey was never to leave her room when she had company at night.
Breaking that rule came with consequences Bailey had learned not to question.
She swallowed hard, but the dryness remained. Another cough escaped her, and fresh blood stained her lips.
Desperate, she stumbled into the adjoining bathroom and twisted the tap open.
Nothing.
Bailey stared at the faucet in disbelief before turning it again, hoping she had simply done something wrong.
Still nothing.
A frightened breath escaped her.
“Please,” she whispered, gripping the sink. “Not tonight.”
Her chest tightened again. She reached instinctively for her inhaler, but the relief she desperately needed seemed impossibly far away. With her legs weakening beneath her, she lowered herself to the floor.
She couldn't remain there.
If she did, she might not make it until morning.
Gathering what little strength she had left, Bailey crawled toward her bedroom door and pulled it open. She descended the stairs slowly, pausing whenever another cough threatened to escape her.
By the time she reached the living room, her hands were trembling.
The scene before her was painfully familiar.
Her foster mother, Iris Brooke, sat with a man Bailey had never seen before. His arm rested around Iris, and the sounds coming from the couch made Bailey wish she could disappear into the floor.
She looked away immediately.
She wasn't interested in her mother's business. She never had been.
She only wanted water.
“Ahh…” Iris breathed, momentarily distracted by the man beside her.
“You should get another bottle for us, don't you think?” the stranger murmured with a satisfied smirk.
Iris nodded and began to rise.
Then she noticed Bailey crawling toward the kitchen.
Her expression changed instantly.
“What the hell are you doing, Bailey?” she whispered sharply. “I thought I told you not to meddle in my business.”
Bailey heard the warning in her voice, but she could barely think beyond the desperate need for water. She lowered her head and continued toward the kitchen, hoping she could get what she needed and return upstairs before the situation became worse.
She was almost there when the stranger stood.
Bailey froze.
Something about him made her uneasy. He was unlike the other men who visited Iris, and it wasn't simply because of his imposing build or the dangerous confidence in his movements.
There was something else.
Something that made the air around him feel heavier.
He approached her, his footsteps unhurried. Bailey's heart hammered painfully against her ribs as she wondered whether he intended to punish her for interrupting them.
Instead, he crouched until they were almost eye to eye.
“Are you a human girl?”
Bailey blinked.
The question was strange, but the eyes staring back at her were stranger still. Their unmistakable wolfish quality made her stomach tighten.
She had always known that werewolves existed. In Atlantica, they were hardly a secret. Still, she had never encountered one who made her feel so completely out of her depth.
Bailey nodded cautiously.
A faint smile touched the stranger's lips.
“I'm the Alpha General of the Night Pack Territory,” he announced. “I've come to Atlantica to establish peace with the humans.”
Bailey stared at him.
The Alpha General.
She had heard the title before, of course. Everyone had. He was not an ordinary werewolf, and the authority surrounding him made that obvious.
She swallowed, trying to understand why someone so powerful would be sitting in her foster mother's living room in the middle of the night.
His gaze returned to her.
“What is your name?”
“Bailey Brooke.”
The moment the words left her mouth, something changed.
It was subtle, almost imperceptible, but Bailey noticed the brief pause. The Alpha General turned his attention toward Iris before looking back at her.
For a moment, neither adult spoke.
Bailey glanced between them, confusion creeping into her thoughts.
Did they know each other?
And if they did, why had Iris never mentioned him?
The Alpha General's smile returned, concealing whatever thoughts had crossed his mind.
“What brought you down here?”
Bailey immediately lowered her eyes.
“I just wanted a glass of water, please. I promise I won't do it again.”
She hated how frightened she sounded, but she couldn't help it. Everything about the man unsettled her, from his unnatural stillness to the knowing expression on his face.
He studied her for another moment before rising.
On a nearby table sat several cups, bottles of wine, and a few bottles of water. Without approaching the table, he lifted one of the water bottles with an effortless display of supernatural power.
Bailey watched in astonishment as it floated into his hand.
He held it out to her.
“Here. Drink.”
She accepted the bottle with both hands.
“Thank you.”
Bailey opened it and drank carefully at first, then more desperately as the water eased the unbearable dryness in her throat. Only when she had taken several swallows did she realize how tightly she had been holding her breath.
The Alpha General watched her without speaking.
She couldn't tell what he was thinking, and that frightened her more than an obvious threat might have.
When she had drunk enough to steady herself, Bailey murmured another thank-you and hurried back upstairs.
She didn't look behind her.
But even after closing her bedroom door, she couldn't stop thinking about the encounter.
The Alpha General had looked at her as though her name meant something to him. And Iris had barely met his eyes.
What were they hiding?
Bailey lay awake for a long time, staring into the darkness.
She had always believed werewolves were dangerous. Now, with the Alpha General's unsettling smile fixed in her memory, she wondered whether she had underestimated just how dangerous they could be.
Yet one thought kept returning.
Why had a man like him been in their house?
And why had he looked at her that way?

The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
Bonds at War: The Virgin is Mine
Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore.
No one believed I could do it—not even my mate, Alpha Jaxon Trevane.
The night I planned to tell him... I found him tangled in bed with my best friend.
Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone.
But the academy isn’t the fairytale I dreamed about.
Beneath the grand halls and traditions, a brutal game is being played.
The four ruling Alphas of the North, South, East, and West fight for power, dominance... and now, for me.
A virgin. Untouched. Unclaimed. The prize they all want.
There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back.
The brilliant strategist who wants me as his Luna.
The dangerous playboy who promises no one will ever touch me but him.
And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him.
But in a place where love is a battlefield and lust is a weapon... falling in love might be the most dangerous thing I ever do.
Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
Let Them Kneel
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.
Where The Ice Gives Way

Charlie makes it clear; his sister is off-limits and Blake tries to do the right thing, but secrets don’t stay buried forever. Rogues prowl the edges of town. The ice cracks. The bond tightens. Then Charlotte’s rare white wolf awakens, the very thing that makes her powerful, also makes her a target.
Shanti needs Shakti. (Peace needs strength.)
Where the Ice Gives Way is a slow-burn YA paranormal romance filled with fated mates, protective alpha energy, fierce sibling loyalty, found family pack bonds, hurt/comfort, and quiet, aching tension. It’s a story about first belonging, learning to be cared for, and what happens when the girl who has always held everyone else up finally falls, and someone catches her.
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
