Felicia Happy · Ongoing · 31.4k Words
Introduction
Yet, vengeance becomes a dangerous game when hate begins to twist into something else, something hotter and far more forbidden. Each command enslaves her heart a little more, because Luca isn’t just cruel, he’s intoxicating. He punishes her and protects her, the more she resists, the deeper she’s drawn into his dark orbit, a connection they both felt but neither can explain.
But beneath Luca’s passion lies a secret that could destroy them both, a truth about her father’s death that will rip open old scars and expose the real reason Luca spared her life.
Now, caught between the man she swore to kill and the one she cannot stop wanting, Renee must decide which will consume her first her thirst for vengeance or the taste of his lips.
Chapter 1
Cha-1-Renee
The evening was cool as I walked beside my father through the garden. The path was quiet, and I could smell flowers and fresh earth. It should have been a peaceful walk, but deep down, I knew what was coming.
“You’ve been keeping up with your training, haven’t you?” my father asked suddenly. “I know I haven’t had time to monitor things myself, but I hope you’re not giving your tutor headaches or skipping sessions.”
I nodded quickly and forced a smile. “Absolutely not,” I lied. “I’ve been doing great.”
The truth was, I hadn’t trained at all this week, not once, and it was already Thursday.
He turned and looked me directly in the face. His eyes were like he could see straight through me. For a moment, I wondered if he already knew.
But he didn’t push it. Instead, he started one of his talks. The kind that always began with “Listen carefully, Renee” and ended with me feeling like I’d just walked through a thunderstorm of wisdom and guilt.
“You know why I’ve insisted so much on you getting your mind trained, don’t you?” he asked.
I gave a small nod, not really in the mood for another lecture. But he went on anyway.
“Leading people is not simple,” he said. “It’s not just about power or status. It’s about understanding. Understanding how people think, how they respond, and how they change. That’s why I’ve made you read history, study diplomacy, and explore both human and werewolf psychology. It wasn’t just for knowledge. It was preparation.”
I glanced at him, quietly surprised. I didn’t expect this direction.
“I’ve been grooming you to lead, Renee. To one day sit where I sit as the queen,” he continued. “But brains alone aren’t enough. Mental strength must be matched by physical strength. That’s why your training matters.”
He stopped walking and faced me fully.
“Men won’t follow a sharp mind alone,” he said. “They need to believe that when words fail, their leader can fight for them. And because you’re a woman, they’ll need even more proof. That’s the burden and the beauty of fate. You must do it better than the best.”
His words sank in deeper than I expected. I felt a twist of guilt stir in my stomach. Not just because I lied but because I realized he believed in me far more than I believed in myself.
I looked down at the garden path, ashamed. But before I could speak, he placed a hand on my shoulder.
“I know you’ve been skipping,” he said quietly. “I’ve always known. But I also know you’ll get back on track.”
I looked up, blinking nervously. “I love you, Dad,” I whispered.
He didn’t say it back right away. He just smiled.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he said, “The Elders are waiting. I’ll see you later.”
I watched him disappear into his quarters, and I turned and headed back to my room.
Later that night, I was in my room, lying on the bed with a book in my hand. It was a human romance novel I had secretly taken from the library; this one was about a brave knight who went on a quest to find seven magical stones. He wanted to prove his love to a princess and earn the king’s blessing to marry her. I smiled at the sweetness of it. Sometimes, I imagined someone doing something that bold for me. Though, honestly, it felt a bit dramatic. Seven stones? Just ask the girl.
I was halfway through the third chapter when I heard a shout outside.
I sat up, unsure if I imagined it. But then came more voices, a loud shout, running, and a loud crash, and then I realized something was wrong.
I threw off the blanket and stood just as the door slammed open.
“My lady” It was one of my father’s personal guards. His face was bruised, and there was blood on his arm. “The estate is under attack. We must get you to safety. The king insists.”
“No,” I said quickly. “Take me to my father.”
“My lady, please. His orders were clear.”
“I won’t leave him to die while I run and hide,” I snapped. Before he could stop me, I pushed past him and ran into the hall.
The estate was chaos; smoke drifted in from somewhere. Shadows moved fast across the walls. I could hear growls and the clash of steel. I turned the corner and saw two enemy werewolves dragging one of our men across the floor.
I let my wolf take over. A sharp crack echoed as my bones shifted. My fingers became claws, my muscles thickened, and fur spread across my arms. I attacked immediately, slashing through one enemy before the other could react. The second turned and attacked, but I ducked and drove my claws into his chest, and he fell.
Blood on my cheek, but I kept moving; I reached the hallway outside my father’s quarters. His guards were fighting hard, but they were losing. One of them was bleeding from a deep cut to his side. He looked up, saw me, and shouted, “Go, Princess!”
Then he threw himself in front of a blow meant for me, and I watched him fall.
I froze, unsure if it was fear or anger, but I couldn't do anything. Before I could summon the courage to keep fighting, I was surrounded.
Three enemy wolves circled me. Their eyes glowed red in the light. I attacked the closest one, claws tearing at his side. He shouted and fell back, but the other two struck me down. I hit the floor hard, breath knocked out of me. I tried to rise, but another blow forced me back down.
Then the heavy door to my father’s chambers opened.
From the darkness, a tall man stepped out. His clothes were clean, too clean for someone in a battle. His eyes were dark and full of anger.
Beside him stood a woman. Her dress was all covered in blood, but she was smiling like all of this was just a game.

I open my mouth to respond, but all that comes out is a staggered breath and a small sigh. He chuckles, a low, rough rumble and then leans down and kisses the middle of my back.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
The Devil’s Contract: Kiss Me Like A Lie
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.
Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
Soren Fox has lived his whole life making sure no one ever learns what he truly is. An omega pretending to be a Beta, fighting in underground rings just to survive and keep his sister alive.
But one contract drags them into a dangerous partnership of lies, heat, and power, and when Soren is kidnapped, Reign realizes too late that the omega he never wanted has become the one person he can’t live without.

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
