Introduction
Chapter 1
I knelt on the floor cleaning, my clothes and face covered in dust. But this was just the beginning; a mountain of chores awaited me.
“Don’t be lazy, Cole. Want me to help you with some magic?” Derek sat on the leather sofa, sipping whiskey and crossing his legs as he looked at me. He was my wife Elena’s younger brother, just turned 18, and had a mischievous and unruly personality.
"It's okay, I can do it myself," I replied calmly.
"Watch this!" Derek waved his finger, shaking down all the dust from the ceiling, making me cough repeatedly.
"Haha! That's so much fun!" Derek clapped and laughed.
He laughed so hard he smashed his wine glass on the floor. "Look at the mess you've made!"
Whiskey spilled all over the floor, and shards of glass stuck in my feet. I took out a rag and silently began to clean up.
"Such noise so early in the morning!" My wife, Elena, came down the stairs, her face ashen. "Why have you made yourself like this again?"
With a wave of her hand, the shards of glass flew from my hand, pieced back together, and landed steadily on the table.
"Go take a shower! You stink!" She pinched her nose and kicked me.
"It's nothing, he was just joking with me." I smiled, walked past her, and went into the bathroom to start washing myself.
This is my third year as a son-in-law of the Robert family, and almost every day since my marriage has been like this.
Three years ago, during the Battle of Ash Valley, my good brother Robert and I were surrounded by enemy forces. I was seriously wounded, and he risked his life to help me escape. Before he died, he held my hand and uttered his last wish—"You must... take good care of my sister..."
Watching Robert die in my arms, I vowed to accomplish this goal.
I married into the Robert family as an ordinary person, so that I could protect her at all times.
My injuries haven't fully healed, so I can't use magic. Until I recover, all I want is to live a peaceful life and ensure Elena's safety.
I don't care about the teasing and mockery I receive, and it doesn't matter if Elena doesn't understand.
"How boring!" Derek saw Elena angrily glaring at him with her hands on her hips, stuck out his tongue, and walked out the door to go hang out with his friends.
"I can't live like this anymore!" She grabbed her hair. "Why did I ever agree to marry you? You can't even learn a basic spell!"
"If it weren't to spite that damned Victor, why would I have so readily agreed to your request to marry into my family?" she vented her dissatisfaction.
Listening to Elena's roar outside the door, I silently lowered my head and rinsed myself with hot water. "I'm sorry, darling... I made you worry again."
"Don't call me darling! I don't want to see you!" She waved her hand, closed the door, and locked herself in the room.
Meanwhile, Derek arrived at his friend Victor's house on the magic train.
Victor, with a fawning expression, poured a full glass of fine wine. "Is your sister still not divorced?"
Victor was my wife's college classmate and had also pursued Elena. However, he believed that Elena would have to obey his arrangements after marriage and become his secretary in the Magic Association, which Elena completely disagreed with.
The two had a heated argument and broke up on the spot.
In a fit of anger, Elena agreed to my request to marry into the family, just to spite Victor.
However, three years have passed, and she has become increasingly displeased with me. Over the years, whenever she has been wronged, she would vent her anger on me.
"I really don't know why she still won't leave that good-for-nothing." Derek took the glass and drank it all in one gulp, getting himself drunk.
"Could you talk to your sister for me? I really regret missing out on her back then. But I'm a high-ranking mage in the Magic Association now, and I think I can make her happy. How about... I give you another chance to pursue your sister?" Victor secretly cast a "mind control spell."
Derek was completely defenseless against mind control magic; after all, he was just a magic apprentice.
“Great! I’ll get in touch with her for you! My sister has definitely forgiven you by now; she couldn’t stand Cole anymore.”
Derek took out his phone and carefully crafted a text message.
"Sister, did that jerk Cole upset you again? I'm at Victor's house; we're having a magic party. Do you want to come? Victor said he regrets what happened in the past and wants to pursue you again. He hopes you'll give him a chance..."
Elena was sitting on the bed, feeling down, when her phone beeped with a text message from her brother.
She clicked on it and looked at it for a while before finally signing her name remotely on the magic party invitation.
She sat at the vanity, applied her makeup using the magic mirror, then picked up her handbag and left the bedroom.
"Honey? Where are you going?" I was busy in the kitchen when I caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye.
Elena acted as if she hadn't heard me, and walked out the door on her own, leaving me standing there.
I held onto the door frame, watching her board the magic train without looking back.
"Slacking off again?" Mrs. Robert tossed the dirty laundry from the basket to me. "Wash it before Elena gets back, or she'll be upset again."
"Why haven't my documents been processed yet?" Old Mr. Robert, pipe in hand, poked his head out of the study. "It's one thing to not know magic, but can't you even do a simple task properly?"
"I'm sorry! I'm coming right away!" I breathed a sigh of relief and went back inside to get busy.

Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
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.
Mated To My Nemesis

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
