Princess Elena · Ongoing · 31.2k Words
Introduction
One reckless night of passion on her eighteenth birthday became a curse that would haunt her. When Arielle's mate bond manifested, it cruelly tied her to Alpha Damian—her crush's older brother, and the man who had disappeared without a trace after claiming her innocence.
Arielle is caught between two brothers, one who owns her soul but refuses to be her mate, and the other whose forbidden kiss she craves.
What happens when Arielle discovers the one that had refused to claim her as his mate had marked her to be bound to him forever!!
Arielle gets tangled in a dangerous game of lust, and both brothers' interest in her might run deeper than desire. And their dark secrets might destroy her before she learns the truth.
Chapter 1
Arielle's pov
Father, before he died, used to tell me stories, fairytales and folklore about the Moon Goddess and her role in our fate.
He would say, “Dear Arielle, fate is kind to those who wait, the Moon Goddess decides our fate.”
“What is our fate?” I had asked.
“To be bound to our mates — the one we would spend the rest of our lives with. The bond between mates is a sacred gift. It is unbreakable and undeniable. The Moon Goddess who decides those to be bound together never make mistakes.”
“She doesn't?”
“Never.”
Well, he lied.
The Moon Goddess is a liar and I learned that the night my whole world turned upside down.
The Moonlit Festival has always been my favourite night of every year.
Well, not because of the music thrumming through the ballroom. Not because of the glowing lanterns and exquisite decorations that float like stars against the dark patterned ceiling or the way the entire pack came alive under the full moon. No. I loved it because of him — Asher Blackwood.
Asher, the Alpha's son.
Asher, my best friend. The boy I had spent years loving in silence. The boy I spent my entire childhood loving, praying to the Moon Goddess every Moonlight festival that she chooses him for me.
Tonight, I would finally know my fate.
I smoothened my dress and took steadying breaths as I stepped onto the festival floor.
The scent of spiced cider and cooked meat filled the air. Laughter and soft classical music rang around me, but I barely noticed it. My heart was pounding so loud in my ears.
My eyes drifted around the room, scanning the crowd for Asher, wondering where he is.
My heart was beating with anticipation but also with worry because Asher and I always attended the festival together. We would meet at his mansion and he would sneak me into the festival, but today was different I had turned eighteen and it was time for me to finally meet my mate, but Asher didn't show up to our usual spot so I had to come here alone.
I heaved a sigh of exhilaration when my eyes landed on a familiar silhouette.
“Asher.” Those words left my lips before I could think.
I took a step forward and another but I froze midway.
Asher wasn't alone.
He was with a woman, her red dress had a fitted bodice that clung to her like a second skin, her golden-blonde hair fell in waves with an elaborate headpiece placed above it. A smooth laugh escaped her lips and I instantly knew who she was.
Vanessa.
She draped over Asher like she belonged there, tracing the embroidered patterns on the tunic I had made for him myself.
I clenched my fists at my sides, horrified and angry at the sight playing before my eyes.
“Asher!” I called out.
“Ari.” he said when our eyes met, flashing me that sexy smile that always made my chest tight.
Ari was just a nickname. A casual, friendly nickname he always called me but my traitorous heart always fluttered whenever I heard it.
Vanessa smirked, her piercing blue eyes hiding her cruelty.
“Oh, look who decided to show up. I was wondering when you'd crawl out of whatever hole you've been hiding in.”
My jaw tightened but I refused to take the bait. I had learnt long ago that fighting back would only make things worse.
Asher frowned at Vanessa. “Don't say that. Be nice to her.”
Vanessa pouted. “But this is me being nice.”
She was a damned liar. Vanessa wasn't nice and she had never been.
For years, she and her twin, Rowan, had sworn to make my life a living hell. And they did it with little things — spilling ink all over my school books, ripping my ball gowns and stealing my food. And that was not all. The worst were their words. Their whispers would dig into my skin like thorns, telling me repeatedly that I was nothing.
And mom?
My mother had done nothing to stop them. And whenever I fought back, she would always defend them by saying, “You only know how to talk with your fist, Arielle. Don't touch your brother and sister or you'll get it.”
My fists tightened at the thought of my mother. Julia Slyden, now Julia White, who was once the mate of my father, now she is the mate of the Pack's Beta. I had barely grieved my Late father before she married Beta Marcus, throwing herself into a new life as if our old one had never existed.
Mother, my birth mother, had looked at me with dismissive eyes everytime I tried to tell her about Vanessa and Rowan. Even Marcus, my so-called step-father, would dismiss me with his normal casual reply.
“Learn to endure it, Arielle,” he would laugh. “They're just kidding around. You know they're your family now.”
Family.
I used to love hearing that word. But now, it left a bitter taste in my mouth. Now, it made me sick.
“Are you excited to find your mate?” Asher asked, pulling me from my thoughts.
Our eyes met and he smiled again. The soft expression on his perfect face made my heart flutter again. He was watching me with his ocean-blue eyes. His luscious blonde hair trimmed perfectly and his smile gleaming against his chiseled jawline. He was perfect.
‘Are you excited to find your mate?’ I replayed his question in my head. Looking at him, I knew I was, and he was standing in front of me.
“More than anything.” I said with a soft smile.
He grinned at my response. “Maybe we'll get lucky.”
“Maybe…” I whispered. Maybe, we'll get lucky? Hope flickered in my chest as I stared at him. Asher wants me as much as I want him.
I nearly did a little dance. The butterflies won't stop rioting in my stomach.
“Don't get your hopes up,” Vanessa said, her cold voice cutting through the air. My happiness vanished instantly like it had never existed.
She continued, glancing at Asher with a smirk on her face.
“I wouldn't if I were you.”
I stiffened at her words. Don't get my hopes up? What did she mean?
I turned to Asher who still had her on his lap.
Realization kicked me in the face. How did I not notice that before?
Vanessa craned her hands around his neck and whispered something to him. And he laughed. They were flirting right in front of me.
What was going on?
Vanessa turned to look at me. “Oh. You're still here. Asher told you to go find your mate. What are you waiting for?”
He what?
My eyes flickered to Asher's but he refused to meet my gaze.
‘Maybe we'll get lucky.’ he wasn't talking about us but Vanessa. I recalled Vanessa’s words,
She wasn't warning me. She was telling me the truth and she was cruel about it. The worst of it all was Asher wasn't even denying it. He knows just how much I love him yet he doesn't want me as his mate but Vanessa.
My eyes began to water as tears threatened to fall, but I dared not cry in front of them, not in front of everyone. Without another word, I turned on my heels and walked away, ignoring Asher as he called my name.
I needed to get out of here.
I needed to be alone.
The festival was suddenly becoming too loud, too bright and too suffocating.
I shouldered through the crowd, heading towards the exit where the torches and candles didn't reach.
I didn't know how long I had wandered until I felt it.
A strange tug at my heart.
A distant pull.
I stopped dead in my tracks and my eyes trailed ahead. A figure stood, leaning against the oak tree. His face was half-shrouded in the shadows but I'd recognize him even in my sleep.
He was Damian Blackwood.
Asher's older brother.
The one they called “The Wolf Without A Soul.”

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.
When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like 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.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
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 First Female Alpha
The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.
But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
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.

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."
