Introduction
Then by chance, I met Lucy, a mysterious witch. She stared straight into my eyes and said, “What an interesting body, what an interesting sickness.” She pressed a bottle of dark green potion into my hand. I hesitated, then took it and left.
When night fell again and my sickness flared up violently, raw pork no longer held back my maddening hunger. Without a second thought, I drank the potion.
For a week after that, I felt fine. But I soon saw Lucy again at her cottage. She told me the potion would never cure my sickness completely unless I fulfilled five brutal rules: eat the heart of a wicked man, the kidney of a sinner, the liver of someone I loved, the spleen of a criminal, and the stomach of an innocent soul.
I held back my hunger for an entire month…Until I finally gave in.The first heart I devoured belonged to my boyfriend.
Chapter 1
My name was Mara, and I had contracted a bizarre illness. Whenever the dead of night arrived, I couldn't suppress the overwhelming urge to consume human flesh. I visited countless hospitals for check-ups, but the doctors all told me there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. They merely prescribed some psychiatric medications, claiming they were to treat my "delusions."
Later, I accidentally met a witch named Lucy. She stared at me and said, "This is a very interesting body, a very interesting disease." So, she gave me a bottle of dark green potion. I hesitated for a moment before taking it and leaving. When the dead of night returned and my illness flared up again—when gnawing on raw pork could no longer suppress my maddening hunger—I drank the potion without hesitation.
Chapter 1
For a week after that, I was fine. But I saw Lucy again in that cabin. She told me that if I wanted the potion to completely cure my illness, I had to fulfill five conditions. I needed to eat the heart of a villain, the kidney of a sinner, the liver of a true love, the spleen of a criminal, and the stomach of a wretched soul.
One early morning, a card was slipped under the gap of my door again. On it, in Lucy's blood-red handwriting, were the words: Have you found it?
I turned my head to look at Ron on the balcony and shook my head once more. My heart still resisted the thought of hurting an innocent person.
In the end, I endured it forcefully for a month...
I remembered that night clearly. The maddening, unbearable hunger swept through my stomach and nerves once again. I knelt on the floor, my fingertips clawing frantically at the ground to distract myself from the cannibalistic thoughts screaming in my head. Beside me, scattered inside the open refrigerator, was fresh, bloody raw pork—the leftovers of my savage gnawing from half an hour ago.
It was useless. Tonight's episode was far more violent than ever before. Chewing on animal flesh only made the starvation ravaging my body even more ferocious. My bloodshot eyes couldn't help but lock onto the doorknob. Because as long as I gently pushed that door open, I could feast on the freshest human flesh. That flesh was... Ron.
Right then, there was a knock on the door.
"Mara, what's wrong?" Ron's familiar, concerned voice came from outside the locked door.
Forcing my increasingly out-of-control body to comply, I pretended nothing was wrong. I opened the door and forced a smile at a worried-looking Ron. "I'm fine, Ron. I was just cleaning out the fridge."
My left hand, hidden behind my back, gripped my right hand tightly to stop it from lunging at Ron's throat. I chanted silently in my heart, No, I absolutely will not turn into a man-eating monster!
Ron looked at my pale face and kissed my forehead. "You look awful. Did your stomach illness act up again?"
I inhaled the familiar scent of sweat on his clothes, grinding my teeth as I muttered an explanation. "It's nothing. Just an old problem."
Ron tapped my head, seeming slightly upset. "Nonsense. Wait here, I'll go find your stomach medicine."
He turned around and briskly went into the kitchen to pour a glass of milk, rummaging for the stomach medicine he had bought previously. Truthfully, I hadn't dared to tell him that this was no stomach illness at all.
The fingertips of my left hand dug viciously into my right wrist as I silently ordered myself, Behave! I looked at Ron's gentle silhouette with a trace of reluctance and sighed. What a shame. This is already the tenth time my illness has flared up this month. If this continues, I will definitely eat him. I need to say goodbye to Ron.
Ron walked back, holding the warm milk, and carefully placed it in my hands. "Drink it. I know you hate the bitterness, so I mixed the medicine into the sweet milk."
I looked into his warm blue eyes and drank it slowly, completely off guard. My fingertips clearly felt the warmth of the glass gradually fading. I clutched the empty glass in my right palm and forced myself to look calmly at his handsome face. "Ron, I'm bored of this. Let's break up..."
As soon as the words left my mouth, my vision began to blur and sway. I struggled to reach out, trying to grab Ron's sleeve, but my hand caught nothing but empty air. Through my hazy vision, I vaguely saw Ron curl his lips into an eerie, twisted smile. "Sleep well, orphan..."
Before I even had the chance to understand what his words meant, my consciousness sank entirely into the dark.
An hour later, I was thankful for this damned body; it had metabolized the drug rapidly. Squinting my eyes, I saw that I was tied up inside a warehouse. The faint sound of ocean waves echoed in my ears. Ron stood with his back to me, holding his phone. His tone was freezing and suffocating.
"The buyer's final payment arrived. She's an orphan, no one will check on her, and her heart matches perfectly. Just like the eight idiots before her, we'll extract it tomorrow and throw the rest into the sea."
I finally understood. The "home" I had craved was nothing but a slaughterhouse. I had agonized over suppressing my cannibalistic instincts for the sake of so-called love, only to find out that what he wanted all along was my heart.
If that was the case, then there was no longer any need for me to hold back...
Ron turned around, his eyes widening in shock.
Before he could even utter a single syllable, a pale hand violently pierced straight through his chest.
My crimson eyes stared directly into his blue pupils. I let out an eerie, soft chuckle. "Surprise."
He slowly looked down at the blood-red heart clutched in my hand. With a heavy thud, his body collapsed onto the warehouse floor.
Without a shred of hesitation, I raised my right hand and stuffed the heart into my mouth.
A familiar card fluttered into my hand, carried by the ocean breeze. On it was written: Welcome to releasing your true self.
I licked my fingertips, still tasting the lingering metallic flavor of blood on my hand.
Lucy's cabin sat in the woods by the coast. I thought it was time to go see her.
But I didn't move.
Because I suddenly realized something.
When I swallowed that heart just now, my stomach hadn't made a sound of satisfaction. I touched my abdomen with trembling fingers. "It... it feels like it's hungry again..."

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”

3/ Rags and Ritches-
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
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.

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.

The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
Werewolf's Heartsong
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.
