Chapter 1
CASSIAN'S POV
Life brings you the most unexpected challenges when you least expect them. Don't get me wrong, I'm always ready to fight any challenge life throws at me. But I wasn't specifically ready for a 6'4" drunk-ass giant to be thrown at me.
That wasn't the actual challenge.
The actual challenge was bringing this drunk giant to my room without letting my dad and his huge party notice him. Because God forbid Dad sees him, his funeral would be held right out of my house.
This might all seem a bit confusing now, but to understand everything, we need to go back a few months.
FEW MONTHS AGO
University is a place of eternal bliss for the youngsters but for me it's a constant battle of being at the top. Having grandad, dad and brother graduating from here with top grades has always put an unsaid burden on my shoulders. Even though they never said it, their eyes always reflected it. Somehow those expectations instilled themselves inside me before I even could comprehend it.
Everything was going well until a particular prick decided to ruin my perfectly curated uni life. And the name of the prick is Dominic Costello. The only man who can get on my nerves and I can do nothing about it. Why? My reaction gives a different kind of thrill. Not my words, these are his words. The bastard has the audacity to say that my reaction turns him on. Fucking disgusting.
The said prick is now in front of me. Half naked, sweat glistening his well built body. While I was on the more leaner side with a firm body, his body screamed of muscles and strength. Girls fawn at him and his body. I am not supposed to be here, on the football ground, surrounded by tons of girls. This is not my place. Yet, I was here. Because this prick decided to ruin my peaceful schedule and insert himself in my life like always.
“Hi there, sunshine. Are you here to cheer me on? Aww.” The bastard clutched his chest mockingly. “I'm so touched.”
“Why am I in the same project as you? I don't remember signing up for this.” I slammed the sheet of paper on his naked, sweaty chest.
Disgusting.
I raised my specs up on the bridge of my nose with my forefinger and slightly cranked my neck to look at him. While I stood at an impressive 6 feet height, the bastard went ahead to stand at 6 '4. God seems to give him a leverage in everything compared to me.
“Oh this!!” His face curved into a malicious grin.
“The professor wanted me to assist him with his project and asked for another volunteer. And I, as a good friend, suggested to him your name.” His dimples flashed in front of my eyes. The idiot crouched his head down to look at me.
Good friend my ass.
He knew I was going to intern at my dad's company this year. Everyone knew the Vane Restaurant Chain. It's already my second year of uni and this is the perfect time to steady my portfolio by doing an internship. Assisting a professor in a project this time only meant extra work and less efficiency. Surely I'll gain a name in a published research paper but that's not worth it in comparison to the internship. And the prick knows it by heart.
“Get my name out of this, you fucking idiot. Or I swear to God…” I shut my mouth promptly owing to the whisperings and looks people were giving us. I took a sharp breath and held his sweaty wrist and started dragging him with me. But the bastard being the bastard he is, started whistling mockingly.
"Team meeting later guys. Your captain is gonna get laid today. Wish me luck.” He hollered loudly. Along with him his classmates also hollered while the girls glared at me.
Oh please. Even if I was gay, I wouldn't touch this bastard with a ten foot pole.
“Eager much, sunshine. If you're so horny, we can just go to my house.” Dominic whispered right near my ears which shook my whole body. I left his hand with a jerk before cornering him.
“Get my name off the list, you fucker. Or I swear, I'll make your life a living hell.” I snarled at him but the bastard just grinned at me. He ducked his head down before whispering in a low voice.
“Love it when you turn fiesty, baby.”
That's it. I don't even know when my fist connected with his face. I'm not a violent person. I never am. But something about this fucker brings the worst out of me. The fucker never fights me back. And I'm saying it literally. He never lifts his hand against me. Whenever I try to beat the answer out of him, he just grins at me and says the wildest things like he can't bring himself to beat my gorgeous face.
People's hands started grabbing me. Realization hit me square in the face. I am in top of this fucker. His face bruised due to my punches yet the grin never left his face.
His eyes darkened when he saw people's hands on me. His tattooed hand wrapped around my waist, tearing me away from the said people.
“Don't fucking touch him.” Every word out of his mouth sounded like the final verdict. So before this idiot could do something weird once again, I got up and did my favorite activity.
I ran away.
Far away from his invincible vicinity where he traps me and my soul in a fucking golden cage.
Dominic is an unbearable bastard. And I don't know what the fuck did I do to have him stuck him. I surely remember him hating me in middle school. Something changed after his mom died and I attended his funeral. He said and I quote, “You're mine, Cassian. And I never let my things slip away from me.”
His weird fixation with me started when we were 15 and now that we are 20, his fixation only seemed to intensify. And the most annoying part of it is I don't know the reason behind his fixation.
I typed furiously on my phone.
Me: Get my name off the list, Dominic.
Fucker: Make me, baby.
That's it. The bastard's funeral will take place in my own house. I'll kill him personally and help the world to be freed from his miserable presence.

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.
Protectors Of Her Warrior's Heart
Rescued by men who call themselves Protectors—warriors from another realm who embody the legends of angels and vampires—she is thrust into a world she never knew existed. For the first time, she experiences freedom, safety, and the possibility of a future.
But freedom comes with a price.
Tali is forced to face the father she believed abandoned her and a powerful council determined to use her for their own ends. Stranger still are the abilities awakening within her—powers no one understands, yet everyone seems desperate to control.
As she learns to trust, she chooses the mates destined to stand beside her. In their arms she finds love, devotion, and a family worth fighting for. But not everyone wants their bond to survive.
When the council betrays the Protectors and attempts to steal her newborn son, it ignites a war that will shake every realm.
Now Tali stands at the center of a conflict far greater than herself. The answers to ancient mysteries, the fate of her child, and the future of countless worlds all rest on her shoulders.
Surrounded by mates who love her fiercely and refuse to leave her side, Tali will battle enemies old and new, forge powerful alliances, and discover just how strong she truly is.
Because this war won't be won for her.
It will be won with her.
And together, they will fight for their future, their family, and a love worth crossing realms to protect.
Mated To My Ruin: A Dragon's Debt
But the prince lied. The dragon she touched bound itself to her soul and now she is trapped in the vampire kingdom with a king who has waited centuries for her return. King Caelan remembers everything. The love she destroyed and the great war she started. The lives she burned to ash with the very dragon now living inside her.
She remembers nothing.
He wants her to suffer for crimes she cannot recall. She wants to survive long enough to save her sister. But the bond between them refuses to stay buried and the dragon has its own plans. When she turns twenty and her fae powers awaken, Nyx discovers the truth is far more twisted than centuries of hatred.
The prince who sent her was the one who destroyed her family. The king who hates her saved the only person she loves. And the past life she cannot remember might be the key to stopping another war.
This time she will not run. This time she will burn the world herself if that is what it takes.
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.

Pawn of the Starless God
Instead, a god found me.
One moment, I was bleeding beneath the neon glow of the city, my life slipping through my fingers. The next, a glowing blue screen appeared before my eyes, offering me a choice that was never really a choice at all.
Accept the Summoner’s Mark. Or die.
Now I belong to the Death Game — a brutal cosmic system where ordinary people are turned into Players, thrown into impossible missions, and forced to survive horrors designed for the amusement of gods.
Every trial has rules.
Every monster has a weakness.
Every victory comes with a reward.
And every reward makes me less human.
My name is Nerissa Valehart, and I refuse to be anyone’s pawn.
But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.
Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.
Yet when death comes for me, Veyren is the one standing between us.
In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:
Survive long enough to cross the board.
And make the Starless God regret choosing me..............
The Alpha King's Human Mate

He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.
