Chapter 1
The moon party kicked off and I knew I was going to have fun. Everyone was clad in white or silver and had their heads decorated.
I was on my fourth potion when I noticed people staring at me in disgust.
I felt uncomfortable but I ignored them and continued to have another drink, I was so happy today because it was rumored heavily that the moon collided with the stars today and made finding mates so much easier.
I was twenty-two years old without a mate and it was embarrassing, I was taking yet another drink when a girl stood abruptly before me.
"Goddess!" I shouted,
"You scared me!" placing a hand on my chest as she continued to look at me like a crazy person then she smiled.
"Look, I don't know if you know but this is strictly by invitation…" she trailed off and I looked up at her, astonished by her audacity.
"People are staring and we don't want you to make people uncomfortable," she said and took a good look at me.
What did she mean by that!?
"Uncomfortable, how?" I asked, my voice getting defensive
I'm sure the alcohol was playing more than a few tricks on me.
"We know that you're mateless and wolfless —
My face was constructed into one of shock and anger.
"You're a bad omen. Don't you see that?" She whispered and I didn't think my eyes could stretch more than they were.
" I think it would be best if you left so Please leave," she said in a sweet tone and walked out on me flippling her hair as she left.
I stood there like a statue, shocked to my bones at how people could be so mean.
A part of me wanted to keep on drinking, twice more than normal but I thought twice as shame engulfed me. Making me leave the party sad.
I was mateless and wolfless but that wasn't my fault and how people kept knowing about that flaw made me wonder if I had it written somewhere.
I knew that I wasn't from their pack originally but that didn't give them or anyone the right to treat me that way.
I sighed to myself as something started to call out to me. I called out back and ecstasy filled my bones.
What was this?
I love the scent that engulfed me and before long I was breathing it in till that was all I could perceive, my mind searching for what it must have been.
A part of me remembered that to feel a scent from nowhere was to have your mate nearby.
I was suddenly excited as I grasped the opportunity of my mate being nearby.
This could be the end of everything. All the rejections and insults? This could be it.
If he was close, I needed to meet him.
I moved quickly, as I didn't want the scent to die out. Excitement powered me through as I moved till the scent was the only thing in my nose even when I came in contact with the palace gates, I still moved forward.
Suddenly, I felt my body light on fire, a good kind of fire that brought warmth to my skin and insides.
I pressed my legs together to stop the feeling but the more I pressed my legs, the more I felt a moan at the back of my throat.
I was excited and I was in heat, all I wanted to do was to see my mate and make him mark me as his and his alone.
The scent got stronger as I passed through the throne room and some other rooms but the moment I got to the garden, the scent stopped.
I was still excited and juices dripped down the side of my thighs as I moved, I bit my lip in ecstasy.
All the beautiful things that he could do to me filled my head proportionately.
I placed a hand on my stomach to still myself and that was when I heard it.
It started at first but then fast, tiny sounds coming from inside the garden.
My heart started to beat fast as I heard more thumping and as I pressed my ears to the closed door, I heard moans.
I wanted to back away but the more the moans came out, the more annoyed I felt.
I have never felt like this, constricted about what to do, as the moans came out even louder, I couldn't help, the anger that suddenly built within me.
I opened the door with force and I was met with an outstretched bareback in the shadows, I realized that the moans were coming from someone else in this same Garden.
My face fell as I realized without a doubt that I was connected to the guy but that he was sleeping with someone else.
I gasped in horror as he finally turned back and paused for a moment.
"Don't stop" the girl said and he smiled broadly
And
He kept going!
I stood there, with my thighs dripping all of my juices, my mouth dry and watering at the same time.
I was the one supposed to be bent over not someone else. Hurt filled my heart as I made to turn around and walk out of the door.
"Stay!" he commanded and as though I was under a spell, I stood there and heard his every grunt and heard every moan until he was finished, and from where I was, my eyes rolled back in pain and yet I was still hungry for his touch.
"Were you the one that called out to me?" He asked and I turned to look at him, my face in horror of what it was he was asking me, he stepped out of the shadows, a smirk on his face.
The moment my eyes saw his, I immediately felt stupid.
What on earth did they put in that drink because I was delusional?
"Are you,— stressing the word as though it was some form of disease
" supposed to be my mate?" He asked me as he looked at me from my head to my toes and I froze.
There was no way that Lucius Hayden, prince of the ice stone pack was
my mate.
No way this man whore and brat was my mate!

Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"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."
Where I End and She Begins
But when a body lies at Amelia’s feet, and her hands are covered in blood that isn’t hers, one question echoes louder than the rest:
How did it come to this?
As the school year unfolds, cracks begin to show — in friendships, in family, and in Amelia’s own mind. The lines between loyalty and control blur. Between truth and perception. Between who she is… and who she thinks she needs to be.
Because some friendships don’t just shape you.
They consume you.
And when the illusion shatters, there’s always something left behind.

"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."

Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.
