Chapter 1
Rohit's POV
There was so much to do as my elder brother Rahul was about to get married today. I was rushing from here to there at the beck and call of my mom. She had already given a list of instructions.... Her elder son was getting married..... She was excited about it though she was not very pleased with the girl her son chose to be his wife.
Leena was not very friendly... In fact she looked very self centred. My parents were not very happy about it, but they respected Rahul's decision, afterall it was his life and he wanted to spend it with Leena.
Well I somehow had a doubt about it. Leena was his girlfriend for the last 6 months, but somehow I could never see that spark in their relationship. Infact, I would say that it looked very mundane or business like.
Anyways, I had so many things to manage so I needed to go and check arrangements. As it is, I can't help it as I just had my doubt but I was not sure about it.
My mom was getting paranoid about all the arrangements. I assured her that everything was done. My dad and Bhai were also ready.
Bhai was looking very handsome but somehow he didn't look as happy as one should be. Was he not happy??
I knew that he used to like someone but he never said anything about it. Now he was getting married to Leena so may be he is over that.... But then why is he not excited to be married today?
Dad said that we were getting late so we all drove to the venue and reached there in half an hour.
There were not many people from Leena's side. Her uncle welcomed us. We went to the hall that was scheduled for the wedding. Guests started pouring in. Our friends were also there.
Dad's best friend Kabir uncle came with his family. His daughter Priya was also with them. She was a gem of a person. She looked very pretty, my friends were looking at her. They even asked me who she was. She was talking to my parents. She blushed and shook her head. She started going towards a snack bar and grabbed a glass of juice.
Her eyes started searching for someone..... Well it was Rahul. I saw that he was looking at her too. She smiled at him but he kept on looking at her very intensely. I always knew he liked her but he always denied it. If that was the case, I just couldn't understand the expression in his eyes at this moment.
I went towards her and tapped at her shoulder, she turned to looked at me and smiled. I have always been very fond of her.
"So, someone is dressed to impress all. You are looking so beautiful. You know how many people are looking at you. Where were you all the time?" I said to her and she blushed.
"Rohit please, stop this, I am getting irritated now, everyone is teasing me. I should not have worn saree." She said.
"Oh no, I am not teasing you. You are looking like an angel, infact I am enjoying the fact that I am talking to the prettiest girl here and all the men are glaring at me and my friends there, are asking me to introduce them to you." I said and she shook her head.
"Please, don't do it, I am not interested in anyone." She said
I was sure of it as I have always seen that she used to look at Rahul adoringly. She had eyes only for him. She had some sort of very huge crush on Rahul. They both liked each other but I don't know what was wrong with them....
"I know..." I said very seriously and I knew she was about to ask me, what did I mean by that but just then someone called me and I excused myself and walked away.
I came to know that Leena had eloped leaving a letter for bhai as a pathetic explanation. She decided that she did not want to get married as of now as she was offered a role in some upcoming movie.
Rahul bhai seemed to be very angry and was looking like a wounded lion. I was trying to calm him. Mom and dad were very tense, Priya's parents were trying to calm them just a few yards away.
All of a sudden dad started sweating profusely and kabir uncle shouted for Rahul and I . We came running and took dad to a room. I called for the doctor, and our family doctor rushed to examine dad. Mom was crying and bhai was looking very sad and guilty. I didn't know what to do... I was feeling really bad. Wanted to kill Leena.
The doctor said that dad had an anxiety attack and as he had already had one heart attack last year, so it was not good for him to be anxious.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

Oops, Wrong Girl to Bully
My back hit the desk. Pain exploded through my skull.
"Girls like you don't get to dream about guys like Kai." Bella's breath was hot on my face. "You don't get to write pathetic love letters."
She shoved me again. Harder.
"Maybe if you weren't such a desperate little—"
I fell. My head cracked against the corner.
Warmth trickled down my neck. Blood.
Their laughter turned to gasps.
The door slammed.
I tried to stand. Couldn't. The room was spinning, fading to black.
Someone... please...

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.

Invisible To Her Bully
Alpha Twins' Mate's broken Human
A Lesson in Magic
Claimed by the Alpha's Love
Four years ago, Fiona's meticulously planned conspiracy turned me from an ordinary omega into a prisoner carrying the weight of a murder charge.
Four years later, I return to a world that has changed beyond recognition.
My best friend Fiona, who is also my stepsister, has become the perfect daughter in my mother's eyes. And my ex-boyfriend, Ethan, is about to hold a high-profile mating ceremony with her.
The love, family bonds, and reputation that I once cherished have all been taken by Fiona.
Just when I had reached my breaking point, questioning the very purpose of my existence, the legendary Alpha Lucas of Moonhaven suddenly appeared in my life.
He is powerful and enigmatic, a figure that all werewolves hold in awe.
Yet, he shows an extraordinary persistence and tenderness towards me.
Is Lucas's appearance a gift from fate, or the start of another conspiracy?
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.
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
The Forbidden Throb
Mine changed in the time it took to open a door.
Behind it: my fiancé Nicholas with another woman.
Three months until our wedding. Three seconds to watch it all burn.
I should have run. Should have screamed. Should have done anything except stand there like a fool.
Instead, I heard the devil himself whisper in my ear:
"If you're willing, I could marry you."
Daniel. The brother I was warned about. The one who made Nicholas look like a choir boy.
He leaned against the wall, watching my world implode.
My pulse thundered. "What?"
"You heard me." His eyes burned into mine. "Marry me, Emma."
But as I stared into those magnetic eyes, I realized something terrifying:
I wanted to say yes to him.
Game on.
