Chapter 1
CHAPTER ONE
LIRAEL [Luminari World]
"The golden amulet has been traced after 150 years," the Golden Temple priest announced, his voice trembling slightly as he leaned on his wooden staff. The chamber was silent, heavy with age and sacred power.
All eyes turned to him.
He slowly unrolled an old scroll, its paper glowing faintly, and held it up for King Eldric to see. The king rose from his high seat, his long blue robe trailing behind him as he walked to receive it. He studied the glowing markings carefully, his sharp eyes narrowing. The chamber remained still.
After a few silent moments, King Eldric passed the scroll back to the priest and turned to face the gathering of kinsmen. Each of them sat in carved crystal chairs, waiting for his words.
"After Seraphine broke the law," he began, voice strong and clear, "we ensured she was executed without delay. She committed the greatest crime in our world—she fell in love with a human."
The room grew colder.
"But before her death, she managed to steal the golden amulet—the most powerful relic in our kingdom. The very object that holds the power to destroy Lirael."
Gasps echoed around the room.
He paused, then raised his voice.
"And now... it has been found."
"Where, Your Majesty?" a kinsman asked from the left side of the circle.
"In the human world," the king answered with grim satisfaction.
"The mortals’ world?" another voice asked, shocked.
"Yes, Zoku," the old priest replied. His eyes looked older than time itself. "It has crossed worlds."
"It’s been 150 years here," he added slowly, "but in the human world, it’s only been 18."
A silence followed.
King Eldric stepped down from his throne. "So what do we do now? How do we bring it back? We can’t let the mortals keep it."
The priest turned to the sage.
The sage stepped forward, his beard touching the floor as he walked slowly down the stairs of the temple. He raised both arms and began to chant softly. A gentle wind swirled through the chamber. Glowing symbols floated in the air as he summoned the ancient light.
A figure slowly began to appear inside the swirling magic. First a silhouette, then clearer—a young man, standing still with eyes closed.
He looked calm, yet power seemed to rise from him. His skin glowed faintly under the magical light. His white robe shimmered.
"Zeus, son of Rodri," the sage declared. "A 150-year-old virgin. Pure, untouched by corruption. He has been chosen by the Lord of the Realms."
Murmurs rippled through the gathering.
Rodri stood up, face full of fear and confusion.
"Why my son?" he asked. "He’s just a boy. There are many warriors stronger, wiser. Why him?"
The sage looked at him calmly. "Because he is not a warrior. Because he is pure. Because he does not hunger for power. That is why he was chosen."
Rodri’s lips trembled. "He’s my only son."
The king raised a hand. "Enough, Rodri. The choice has been made. We cannot question the Lord of the Realms."
Rodri lowered his head, defeated.
The sage continued, "Zeus will be sent to the human world under a new name—Caelum. He must blend in. He must become one of them."
Zeus finally opened his eyes. The golden light reflected in them. He didn’t speak. He only nodded once.
"And what of Aurora?" one of the elders asked. Everyone knew she was his bonded mate.
The sage closed his eyes briefly. "He must forget her. He must forget everything. Family. Love. His name. He must let go."
The weight of the moment sank in. Even the banners hanging from the ceiling seemed still.
Zeus took a step forward, eyes set. The temple doors opened for him, and the wind rushed in. Outside, the sky had turned a stormy gray.
Rodri followed him quietly, down the hallway of marble and light.
"Son," he said gently, placing a hand on Zeus’s arm. "You don’t have to do this. You can say no."
Zeus shook his head. "The realm needs me. If I don’t go, who will?"
Rodri’s voice cracked. "But you’ll lose everything."
Zeus looked into his father’s eyes. "Then let me lose it. Just not the realm."
Rodri pulled him into a hug. For a moment, time stopped.
That night, before leaving, Zeus stood with Aurora one last time.
She knew. She had known all along.
"You’re leaving," she whispered.
"I must."
She touched his face, memorizing every detail.
"I’ll wait for you. No matter how long."
He smiled weakly. "Don’t. Forget me."
"Never."
He kissed her gently, a kiss that held years of memories, unspoken promises, and heartbreak. Then he turned away. She didn’t stop him. She knew better.
By morning, he was gone.
He was no longer Zeus.
He was Caelum now.
And in the human world, far from Lirael, a young girl wore the amulet around her neck, believing it to be a simple gift from her late parents. Her grandmother had raised her in hiding, never telling her the truth.
Aurelia had no idea who she truly was.
But fate was already on its way to find her.

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
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.

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.
Goddess Of The Underworld

Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of an orphan pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to be better. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.
A pack of their own
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.
——————————————————
When eigteen-year-old Aurora Wells moves to a sleepy town with her parents, the last thing she expects is to be enrolled in a secret academy for werewolves.
Moonbound Academy is no ordinary school. It's here young Lycans, Betas and Alphas train in shifting, elemental magic, and ancient pack laws. But Aurora? She's just...human. a mistake. The new receptionist forgot to check her species - and now she's surrounded by predators who sense she doesn't belong.
Determined to stay under the radar, Aurora plans to survive the year unnoticed. But when she catches the attention of Zayn, a brooding and infuriatingly powerful Lycan prince, her life gets a lot more complicated. Zayn already has a mate. He already has enemies.

Enemies will rise. Loyalties will shift. And the girl with no place in their world...might be the key to saving it.
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.
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
Invisible To Her Bully
Falling For The Biker: The Vice President's Girl
His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth.
"It's wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for just standing this close. But tell me, little bird" his breath ghosts my skin, "are you trembling because you hate me… or because you've wanted this just as much as I have?"
Wren thought she'd buried the chaos of New Orleans for good—the clubs, the blood-soaked loyalties, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she ever wanted: freedom, love, a future.
But one betrayal shatters it all.
Dragged home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax—the Raven Reapers MC's vice president and her brother's best friend. He's infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting for a man she should never touch.
And the deeper Wren is pulled back into his world, the more she realizes nothing about her past—or about Ezra—is what she believed.
In the chaos of gang wars, mounting debts, and old betrayals, he becomes the one constant. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more lethal his pull becomes.
Because in this world, love isn't sweet.
It's brutal. Bloody.
And it's bound to break them both.
When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?
