Chapter 1
Every step I take is fast as I look behind my back. I felt like someone was following me when I got off the bus stop. I came home late from our office. I have a lot of work to complete, mostly pending projects. I reached eleven o'clock at night because of that.
It was dark in the alley. I was walking alone, so I was a little nervous. I feel like someone will just pull me out and take me to some dark corner.
As I walked fast, I noticed that tonight was different from typical past nights. I didn't see anyone walking with me. A while ago, I still saw a few people pass by but as time went by, they became fewer and fewer. The surroundings are also very quiet. Even the dogs are calm. They used to bark when I passed by, but now it's different. The silence is deafening. Cold beads of my sweat dripped down the side of my head. It's cold outside but I'm sweating bullets. I sped up my pace. I had to walk two more aisles before reaching my rented house.
I am alone in life. My parents died for unknown reasons. They were found in the forest, dead and drained of blood. No wounds were found on the bodies, so the autopsies wondered what caused their death. When I was young I did not understand what was happening. The elderly said that animals did that to my parents. But I don't believe it. If an animal did that, why didn't they get any wounds or even scars on their bodies? And what's more surprising, their blood runs out. Like it was sucked in by someone.
I stopped walking in fear when I heard the rustling of dry leaves. I don't know if I stepped on that dry leaf or has someone really been following me since I got off the bus. I feel different. Something bad is going to happen. The wind blowing gives me a chill.
"Lady, the scent of your blood is lingering in my nose" said a voice from my back.
I was shocked when I turned to him. I was even more scared when I saw his red eyes. It was the first thing I noticed, because it was clearly visible in the dark. It's glowing!
"Who are you?" my voice trembled. I remembered the news in the past that there was a serial killer roaming around our place. At first, I didn't believe it. I think they just threatened people with it so they wouldn't go out at night. Now I regret I did not believe the news.
"It seems that you are alone at this time of the night. I feel lucky today. A beautiful young lady with a delicious rare blood smell will be my dinner". His voice was strange for a normal person. It's rough. Even in the dark, I could feel him smiling at me.
"What are you saying?! Are you crazy?!" I shouted. I was more scared of him when the light of the lamp post shone on him. His appearance is very pale. It seemed that no blood was flowing through his whole body. His eyes were literally red. It glared as it looked at me.
"I've been hungry for a long time. I want to eat now. Don't worry, you won't feel any pain". He looked starving and crazy at the same time.
I scream loudly when I see the fang in his teeth. It's very sharp. He slowly approached me, so I ran very fast. I didn't look back at him, he would not catch me. "Help me! Please!" my knees are shaking because of so much fear.
"Your running is useless. I'll still catch up with you" he laughed sarcastically. I don't care what he says. All I want is to escape from him.
"Gotcha!"
"Aaaaaaaaah!!"
He appeared in front of me. How did that happen? All I know is that I ran ahead of him. There is also no shortcut in our area. The surroundings are full of walls, so it's impossible for him to get in front of me right away!
"Suprise?"
"Acckk..." he strangled me by my neck. His grip is so tight that I can't breathe.
"Hmm...the scent of your blood smells good. It gets me hungry as fuck" he sniffed my neck. I cried when I saw his fangs up close.
It's true!
"P-please…spare my life…" I pleaded. Even though it's difficult for me to speak, I still manage to say that.
"I'll be quick that you won't notice it" before he bit me, a strong wind hit my body, it was so strong! It made my eyes close.
When I opened my eyes, I screamed as blood splattered on my face. My eyes widened as I looked into the man's red eyes. Like me, his eyes were also widened, the expression on his face was shocked. The blood gushed from the man's mouth. Little by little, he let go of me until he was lying on the ground. I saw the blood on his stomach. It flows like water! I covered my mouth to stop screaming.
What happen?
"You deserve death, Argos."
I look at the newcomer. Just like the one he called Argos, his skin is also pale, and his hair is a bit messy. The orb of his eyes is the color of the sea. Blueish and deep. Like burning ice.
"M-markus...why did you do that? It's against the law of covenant" said Argos, while holding his stomach full of blood.
"I don't care about covenant law. You violated my property. You touch what's mine" he said dangerously. I feel his anger building up. Even though I can't see it. It seemed to evaporate from his body.
I recoiled when Markus licked his bloody hand.
"Your blood tastes fine for my dinner. Not bad after all…"
"You know I can't die easily by stabbing like this. If the covenant finds out about this you will definitely-" he stopped speaking, without a word. Markus took Argos' heart!
"If you disappear completely, the covenant won't know about it. Do you think I won't kill you after you touch her?" Markus answered with a dangerous smile. Argos's body was gradually blown away by the wind. It turns into ashes.
I can't believe what I witnessed. Are they true? Or is it just a dream? I hope that the latter is the answer, wishing it's all just a dream. I want to wake up now.
I took a step backward when Markus looked in my direction. His blue eyes are the first thing I see. Won't he hurt me too? The tears in my eyes have dried up. I'm so shocked by what happened that even if I cry I can't do it anymore.
"Go home as long as I can stop myself. Your blood is very fragrant to my nose, it tests my temper" he said with a hard voice. His facial expression was serious.
What is he saying? Is he a Vampire or something? I can only watch that in movies, so maybe I'm just dreaming right now. It can't be real. Soon I will wake up too. I'm just having a nightmare with this beautiful creature.
"S-stop staring.." Markus said. Looking away.
I did not move from my position. I think my legs have turned into stone. I can't move. In the blink of an eye, the man's name, Markus, suddenly disappeared. I look for him everywhere. I can't absorb what's happening now. How did he disappear so quickly?
"Let me taste your blood even a little, please..."
I get straight up when I hear his voice in my other ear. Markus is next to me! He is behind me, hugging my waist and his one hand is on my jaw. He lifted my chin gently to gain access to my neck.
"Please, spare me. I don't want to die..." I whispered. I don't want to be Argos who was turned into ashes and blown away by the wind.
"Silly. I won't hurt you. I just want to taste your blood, Celestine. Your fragrance makes me want to. I can't hold back anymore. Just a little bite will do."
"H-how did you know my name?"
"Of course I do. I know what's mine"
"You don't own me. No one owns me but myself," I answered boldly. I am not something that can be taken light.
"Yes, but not today. No one can touch you anymore. I will kill them when that happens."
"I don't agree."
"I don't need your permission. I will mark you mine"
"No-aaaah!" he suddenly bit me on my neck. His fangs sank into my skin. It hurt so much. Markus held me tightly so that I wouldn't slip away from his embrace.
"Markus..." I said his name. It hurts!
He said he only drank a little bit of my blood, but it took him longer. I felt like everything around me was spinning until I felt nothing. I lost consciousness.

And then there’s the bond.
Forced into a connection he didn’t choose, Kruz is tied to a girl—whether he wants it or not. She’s a complication. A problem. A constant reminder that his life is no longer his own.
Because the one person he wants… is the one he can’t have.

It will destroy you.
Lethal Web of Mafia's Revenge (Sequal to "Innocent in Mafia's Web)
He was a beast inhabiting this mansion, inflicting inhuman torture on my poor soul. He had created a living hell for me, this pitiful girl, within his castle.
On this cold winter night, he threw my wounded body into the icy pool, arrogantly enjoying it all, drinking and smoking expensive cigars. A satisfied, cold smile played on his lips as he reveled in my pain. His face was filled with the darkness of sin.
“How...more...am I…still…standing?” I stammered, my lips trembling.
Zain paused, thinking. Then, turning away from her, he replied:
“Until you die!”
With that, he left. As he wished. At that moment, my wish came true; I died.
But not in a frozen pool; I was struck in the head by a bullet from afar, blood splattering everywhere—that was far more gruesome.
My consciousness began to fade, but suddenly, I opened my eyes again and found myself mopping the floor in an ordinary restaurant.
I was startled: What happened? I was reborn? This is unbelievable!

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.

For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—

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.
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

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.
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.
