Introduction
~
“I, Alpha Beckett of Ashridge Pack, by the name of the moon goddess, reject you as my mate!”
~
A rejection.
A bond severed.
But life had other plans for me in the form of Xander Theon Grayson, hockey star, golden boy of NorthVale High, A-star student. But what I didn’t know is that he’s an Alpha with a curse.
I need him, and he needs me.
So we signed a fake mate contract. But it comes with a lot more than I expected: a jealous ex, mysterious powers that level me up in a system, a quest to find my origin.
But the question in my mind is: Can I save my mother’s life? Can this bond between Xander and I blossom into something real, even something beautiful?
Chapter 1
“Sign it, Fiona.”
The cold wind blew, and the smell of his expensive cologne wafted across my nostrils.
I tried to look away from his face—handsome, almost as if it were crafted by one of the gods.
He leaned over me, and all I could think about was kissing his full, plump lips again.
But instead, I took a long look at the stack of paper in his hand. It read ‘The fake mate contract’
I exhaled as my heartbeat increased.
So this was really happening?
He continued, oblivious to my turmoils and insane attraction for him. “You get to be Luna and save your mother. I get to save my dying wolf and make my ex-girlfriend jealous.”
I looked from his hockey gear, his jawline, to his piercing molten gold eyes.
“Read through the rules.” He said.
I picked up the paper, and with trembling hands, signed it.
What was left? I was a rejected wolf with nothing left to lose.
This is a story of how my fate collided with that of Xander Theon Grayson, Northvale’s star hockey player, and I fell so deeply in love with him the world stood still.
But first, I had to lose everything.
~(Flashback)~
The sound of loud moans filled my ears. The smell of sex filled the air.
I froze by the hallway that led to my boyfriend, Alpha Beckett’s room.
How could it be?
I placed my ear by the door, willing it to be untrue. But instead, I was faced with the mind shattering revelation that he was cheating on me.
I could hear the sounds as their lips met. And a chuckle that came from none other than my boyfriend. “Fiona is a fool to think she'll ever be Luna. I was just messing around with her. It's you I love.”
My jaw slackened in utter disbelief.
Without another thought, I pushed open the door and my eyes met first with Isis, Beta Otto's sister, the prettiest girl in Ashridge pack.
There they were, naked, cuddled together and my heart just couldn't take it.
“Beckett!” I screamed.
He looked unbothered by the fact that I'd caught them. With a cold gaze, he spat out. “From now, it's Alpha Beckett to you, Omega.”
Realization struck me. Cruel and bitter.
But I wasn't as weak as people thought, and I'll prove it.
I wore a numb expression.
“Understood.” My voice croaked.
I took one last glance at them and walked out.
And then I ran. Away from it all.
One more second in Ashridge pack will sicken me.
The perimeter lights were blaring red, but I ran with no destination in mind.
I could imagine what would happen as we'd now broken up. The bullying from pack members will continue. The mutter of ‘rogue’ any time I pass by, the demeaning gazes.
I and my parents moved to Vermont when I was eighteen.
Well… my stepdad, and my mom, who'd been in a coma since I was born.
I never knew who my real dad was. No one did.
My life changed on the first night we moved. I was out on a stroll and got bitten by a rogue wolf.
I stayed in Ashridge packhouse since then.
I turned to a werewolf the same night.
But life's cruel twist - I'd never shifted or spoken to my wolf since then.
It was almost like I was wolfless. No one knew but my best friend, Cassia. She promised to keep it as a secret.
If they knew, they'd think I'm cursed and kill me.
On the night I first moved to Ashridge as a werewolf in training, I had a trance from the moon goddess. She told me I could save my mother if only I became Luna. She said other things too… but that's a story for another day.
Beckett and I started dating afterwards. I thought he loved me.
Well… apparently he didn't.
Tears welled up in my eyes. And for the first time in a long time, I cried. Really cried.
I stopped and looked around the environment. It was my new school. Northvale High.
What would people say if they saw me crying?
I ran to the back of the building. It was a large hockey field.
I was looking for where to hide when I bumped into someone wearing a thick hockey gear.
“S-sorry, I didn't mea-” I froze when I looked up at him.
Tall. Brooding. Majestic.
Our eyes locked, and time froze.
A look of disbelief passed across his eyes.
–-------
(Xander's POV)
Coach Bruce's voice filled the school's megaphone.
“Xander Grayson, report to the hockey field now. We've been waiting hours for you, princess.”
A round of chuckles went across the hallway.
I stood by my locker with a smirk plastered across my face.
I knew I was late for practice, but today was such a shitty day. Everything seemed to be going left.
With a sigh, I picked up my hockey gear bag and sprinted across the hallway as I headed to the hockey field.
“Xander!” I could hear the voices of students calling out to me. The girls batting their eyelashes. The back slaps from the boys.
Sometimes life just seemed blurry. I learnt to keep to myself all while maintaining my status as NorthVale's golden boy.
“Xander, you're looking so handsome today.” A girl stood in my front, blocking me on my way. “Can I come watch you practice?”
What was her name again? Justina? Jasmin?
I gave her a small smile and turned left, heading to the field.
I caught her excited voice as I went. “Oh my god, Xander Theon Grayson smiled at me.”
I almost rolled my eyes. Girls! I never understood them.
A sharp, painful tug went through my chest. I slowed down, but didn't stop so as not to attract unwanted attention.
I knew what the pain was.
Moment of truth.
I was an alpha werewolf, and nobody in school knew.
But my wolf was dying, I discovered from my shaman many years ago. He said the only way I could restore him was to find a mate.
I started dating my girlfriend, Nova, afterwards. Daughter to Alpha of Nightfang pack. And hopefully, the one who'd help restore my dying wolf.
I didn't stop running till I got to the hockey field. The smell of ice wafted in my nostrils, and something else…
Someone bumped into me, and I looked down.
It was a girl.
Red hair. Green eyes. An incredibly pretty face.
Wait…
Was she crying?
My wolf, that had been silent for a very long time, stirred suddenly, howling one word - ‘Mate!'
I paused, confused. She didn't seem like a werewolf. She was a fragile-looking human girl.
And besides, I already had a girlfriend.
This must be some cosmic mistake!
She was still staring at me. She looked like she was in a trance. “Sorry.”
“It's fine.” I muttered and continued on my way.
I took one last glance at her.
How could this be?
–--------
~(Flashback ends)~
(Fiona's POV)
I walked away from him that day believing our paths would never cross again.
I was wrong.
Terribly, horribly wrong.

Letters to a Dark Prince
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.

This time, Kayla is determined to save him. Except nothing goes according to plan.
Zayn has a girlfriend. And the closer Kayla gets to changing his fate, the more she realizes her powers are bigger and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
The supernatural world is closing in. The clock is running out. And the one person standing between Kayla and everything hunting her is the same boy she keeps bending time to protect.
Kayla has no idea what's in store for her.
Because when you bend time, fate bends back.

Luna On The Run- I stole The Alpha's Sons

Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
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.
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
