Chapter 1
Under the shrouded moonlight, the silence of the night was shattered by the guttural howls of a werewolf pack, their eyes gleaming with malevolence and hunger. At the forefront was Troas, the alpha of the pack, his presence a storm of power and terror.
"Make sure no one escapes," He ordered, his eyes consumed with rage.
For centuries, the humans and werewolves had coexisted and never had werewolves attacked the humans, not even on the night of a full moon. But everything changed when Troas became an Alpha. Not only had he dominated other werewolf packs, he had laid siege on every human village near his territory in search of the lady who had been prophesied about to put an end to his reign of terror.
As Troas and his pack descended upon the village, doors were torn from their hinges and walls splintered under their salvage assault. The villagers tried to flee in panic, their screams echoing in the night.
Amidst the chaos, Ynamora's mother, Luciana, took her by the hand, hoping to get away before the assailants get to them.
"Run, Yna," she urged, pushing Yna towards the safety of the woods.
They darted through the village, narrowly avoiding the snapping jaws and slashing claws of the werewolves. They reached the edge of the forest where the trees loomed like the silent sentinels. But Troas' pack was relentless, hot on their trail.
Luciana knew she couldn't outrun them forever and so, she turned facing the snarling half humans and half beasts that approached them.
"What are you doing mother?" Yna's blue eyes fought the tears that tried to force their way down.
"Protecting you, my daughter," Luciana replied, her voice filled with warmth and affection even at the face of death. "Run Yna and make sure you survive."
With a cry of defiance, Luciana threw herself at the werewolves, giving Yna precious seconds to escape into the woods.
Yna glanced back, tears streaming down her face as she saw her mother fall beneath the onslaught. As she ran into the woods, she noticed that the werewolves didn't go after her but not minding, she still kept running until she was sure she had escaped.
Yna cried and shivered as she plunged alone in the woods, with images of her mother's brutal fate earlier playing in her head. She couldn't believe that her mother was dead. But why did the werewolves attack her village? What or who were they looking for? She thought.
She hugged herself as the nights cold bit into her tender flesh. Her clothes had been torn while trying to escape into the woods and even if she was sure she had lost her pursuers, she couldn't help but feel that she wasn't completely out of danger yet.
She heard footsteps approaching and quickly hid herself in the open root of tree.
"I smell a human nearby," she heard one of the men say.
"I do too," another man replied.
Yna could feel her heart pound in her chest. She covered her mouth with one of her hands so she wouldn't be tempted to scream. She thought she had escaped but from what she was hearing, it was obvious that whosoever the men who were talking were, they were werewolves.
"I think it's a girl. I smell her so close," the first man said, sniffing into the air.
"I think it's time to return to the pack. The moon is retracting already." Another voice broke through the cold night.
The first man nodded. “I know, but this night, I just need a human – a petite, beautiful human female to cuddle with this night, to take my mind off the nightmares.”
They started discussing something about nightmares, but Yna could barely hear them. They wanted a petite human female!!! She was a petite human female.
Yna tried processing what they had said and it immediately occured to her that even if the voices she was hearing belonged to Werewolves, they didn't belong to the pack that had attacked her village.
These one were not blood thirsty and only wanted intimacy. Her heart slammed in her chest once again, as a fear she had never known before slammed against her heart. She had never known what it was like to sleep next to a male before, let alone a Werewolf male. She had never even been kissed before!
Tears stung her eyes at an awful thought . . . what if they find her and decide to force themselves on her. She didn't have what it takes to stand there werewolf men, so she thought was their number, judging from the voices she had heard.
Suddenly, she heard a howl.
"Alpha Marcus is calling. Let's head back and join the pack." One of the men said.
Alpha Marcus! Yna's heart slammed against her chest for the second time that night as her pulse quickened. Alpha Marcus was the one of the most powerful and ruthless Werewolf of all the Alphas of the entire Werewolf clan. There was only one Alpha whom he feared and that was Alpha Troas.
Yna listened as the footsteps faded away, causing a sigh of relief to escape her lips.
She finally crept out from the open root of the tree she rested her back on it's huge trunk. She suppressed a sneeze, fearing that it might make the werewolves return if they heard it. She wasn't ready to be a slave to any werewolf.
With her back still rested to the trunk of the tree, tears began to stream down her eyes. She tried to hold them back but she couldn't. It was just too much to take in as the realisation dawned on her that her entire village had fallen in one night to a ruthless Alpha.
"Here she is," a voice spoke, jolting her up on her feet. Before she could process what was going on, she was already circled around by a pack of werewolf men.
Could this be the end for me? Yna asked herself.
"She's a spy," one of the men said.
Yna felt like protesting and to let them know that she wasn't a spy but she couldn't find the courage to speak.
Pouncing upon her, they bundled her up, after knocking her out as she became unconscious.
"Alpha Marcus will decide what to do with you," one of the men said,
lifting her up on his shoulder to take her to Marcus, their Alpha.

COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder. My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.
Andrea was sent to take down billionaire magnate Nicklaus Montgomery.
Her mission was simple: get close, seduce him, find the proof, and disappear. Instead Andrea finds herself exposed—cornered into signing a contract that binds her to Nicklaus's side as his lover. Now she’s living in his world of wealth, danger, and secrets… and the deeper she falls into his bed, the harder it becomes to remember what side she's on.

Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried.

The Hockey Alpha's Fake Girlfriend
Then there’s Rafael. Dark. Untouchable. The boy everyone talks about but no one really knows. He should be the last person Vivienne gets close to, yet she can’t look away. He pulls her in with a kind of danger that feels both terrifying and safe, like he sees the parts of her no one else can.

The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?
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.
"No touching."

The head chef looked like he was silently praying for death.
I rushed forward. “Amara. Stop traumatizing these poor people.”

The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.

“But—”
“Down.”
With exaggerated offense, she dropped the spatula and muttered, “Fine. But if no one here has artistic vision, that’s not my fault.”
