Introduction
It's an academy meant to unite all races and prevent an all out war, but right at the center of it are the two most powerful families, The Thorne wolf clan and the Valentino Vampire Family, both at each other's throats.
Their children, Layla Valentino and Kaelen Thorne must work together in preparation for the ultimate mission; sealing the gates of hell.
They must do this while battling the pressure from their families, the unwelcome feelings they're harbouring and right as they're yelling at everyone that put them in the same group, a third character joins the team.
Zaren Blackwood.
A shadow mage from a previously exiled family.
What will he bring to the group?
Peace or chaos?
Or will Layla fall too hard for a mysterious mage with secrets that might destroy the realm?
Chapter 1
"Ugh, I hate it when it rains," I mumbled as I perched properly on the roof of my hostel.
It was one of the most prestigious ones, the great McAlister Dorm; perks of being the daughter of the most influential vampire family.
I know, that sounds pretentious as hell but my father wouldn't have it any other way.
My life is run by his desire for power and showing off to the entire world that we are the best the vampire race has to offer.
Of course, he'd feel better if I were a boy but hey, he can't shove me back inside my mother's womb and every leader gets one lucky try in the children department.
I looked around the school, Eldwin Elite Academy, the only thing uniting the supernatural world and keeping us away from being at each other's throats.
Not like we don't try, the feud between the Thorne Clan and us is the most interesting thing about us.
It's all my family talks about, the court is obsessed with it too and sometimes I just wish it would just stop.
The moon smiled heartily at me, lighting up different learning buildings arranged in the Academy.
The most interesting for me was the art department. I could draw so well yet I didn't do as much.
I don't get a choice in many things, and it doesn't matter what I think.
Father wanted me to be the best sword fighter to ever walk the walls of this school.
He knows best as he's been in control of seventy percent of the vampire trades for fifteen decades.
If we had royalty, he'd be King.
As though summoned by my straying thoughts, a calling halo appeared before me.
It is powered by blood or deep thoughts, and I clicked on it knowing whoever was on the other side wouldn't hurt me.
"Laila," my father's serious and ominous face appeared.
He'd gotten a fresh shave from the looks of it, his deep amber eyes staring at me cooly.
I sat up immediately, as though he was physically here with me.
"Good evening, Father."
"You've settled in?"
"Yes. I'm ready for the new semester," I informed him.
"Good. Now remember, this family relies on you to be the best. Your future depends on you ruling everyone else there. Conquer Eldwin Elite Academy and you've conquered the whole world, understand?"
"Yes, father."
"One more thing," he said and I took a deep breath, suspecting what was to come next. "The Thorne Clan, their son is your biggest hurdle and I'm tired of you avoiding him. You are a pure-blood vampire. You must conquer him and put him in his place!"
"But.. how?"
"I have been informed of some changes coming your way. Be prepared to make this family proud. Don't disappoint me, Layla."
The halo beeped and then disappeared, leaving me alone again.
"I love you daughter and I want you to enjoy your time this final year and hey, stay safe!" I whispered into the air, imitating his rigid voice.
"Jeez, you came back from the holidays with a mental illness?"
I was shocked to see Leah climbing out of her window to the roof, a little less gracefully.
I stretched my hand and pulled her right up.
"Hey girl," I greeted, wiping off the dust from her perfectly combed pink hair. "Where's your mirror?"
"Right here," Luna chuckled as she came from my right.
They were twins who only got along from a little bit of distance. Never too much, just enough to breathe so their rooms were on each side of mine.
And they have been my best friends since I could run.
"What's up with you? Why are you speaking to the moon?"
My eyes went to the big shiny ball in the sky.
"She must be really lonely."
"Aww, is the Great Layla Valentino finally ready to fall in love this year?" Luna grinned.
"The moon would merge with the sun first," Leah laughed, "Layla hates men."
"Don't be silly, I don't hate them. I just haven't found the right one yet."
"And what does this right man consist of?" Lunar asked, pulling out her Winki, the device that stores so much information for us it makes no sense.
I smiled dreamily, lying down on the roof with my hands crossed at the back of my neck.
"I want... Someone special. Someone who sees me beyond the fangs and the glamour. Someone strong but not controlling, charming but not a player. A real gentleman with a wild side."
"Girl, we're gonna just root for the moon to get married first. You're hopeless," Leah chuckled, lying next to me.
"What I want is impossible huh?" I laughed a little.
"It's not like that but you know your family's stand already eliminates all the strong guys so I'm left with a very difficult list," Luna sighed, swiping through the shiny device in her hand.
"Don't tell me you're actually looking for a man for me right now."
"Of course I am! Who knows when next you'll even consider looking at a man without wanting to cut off his neck?"
Leah laughed loudly and we all joined in.
"Hey, I brought you some special O+ type blood from our father's trip to the other side. Wanna come inside?" Leah asked.
"I'll join you girls later, I wanna be here a little longer."
"Alright then, it's getting colder. Hey, did you bring a slutty dress for the Night Revels Rave First weekend party? Please tell me you didn't forget?"
I gave Luna a panicked face for a second and then laughed.
"Of course I brought it. Three in fact, no need to get your panties in a twist. I swear all you want is to get me in some guy's bed."
"I'm trying to avoid the apocalypse that'll happen if you become a lonely, horny vampire!"
I laughed heartily until they went back inside.
Leaving me back in my gloom.
A text came up on my Winki device. Only my family and best friends had access to me through it so I pulled it out of my pocket and it was a text from my Mum.
"Please, don't disappoint your father. Be wary of Kaelen Thorne. Don't get close to him except in combat. Also, the son of the outcast Shadow Mage family will be joining your class. Stay away from him."
Great, more restrictions.
But who is this new guy?

Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else .

The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.

Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.
The Shattered Moon King
Lena is a survivor. For years, she has weathered the harsh, post-apocalyptic landscape by following one rule: trust no one. But when she finds an amnesiac man near death in the wilderness—a man with kind eyes and a strength that is anything but human—she makes a choice that will unravel her solitary existence.
She calls him Cain, but the shattered-moon tattoo on his back brands him as Kaelen, the long-dead Alpha of the powerful Sky-Fall pack. His return triggers a brutal civil war with the usurper who stole his throne and his fated mate. Hunted by Lycan assassins and a fanatical human commander desperate for the secrets locked in Lena's own past, their only hope lies in embracing the very power Kaelen can't remember and Lena has always feared.
As they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just the pack, but the future of every living thing, Kaelen must fight for a kingdom he doesn't know and Lena must confront a legacy she tried to bury. In a world of broken thrones and fated bonds, they will discover that the greatest choice is not between love and duty, but between who you are told you must be, and who you choose to become.

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.

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.

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.
The Hunter and The Hunted
Mihai’s hand slowly slides up my stomach, his fingers wrapping around my neck as he cuts of my ability to breathe, black spots clouding my vision, and yet, I am not afraid. I want more. I want everything that he can give to me.
He slowly inserts a third finger, the intense fullness that I feel teetering me over the edge of a cliff I cannot even see, and then he sucks and pulls at my clit. Sparks erupt throughout my body, the orgasm shaking my soul, and destroying what was left of my resistance.
She was the Daughter of a Hunter, he was one of the creatures that her family had sworn to destroy, what could possibly go wrong?
When their worlds collide, who will be left standing, will it be the hunter or the hunted, and which is which?
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother

It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

Delicate.

Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
