Chapter 1
Vesper's POV
My best friend Cecilia framed me, causing me to miscarry at six months pregnant. My husband Zach destroyed the evidence I found to protect her reputation. To keep me silent, he even threatened me with my mother's life.
...
"Already destroyed the surveillance footage Vesper gave me. Cecilia should be safe now."
I pressed my back against the cold wall outside Zach's study, his voice from inside freezing me to the core.
I'd come to ask how he planned to use the evidence, how he would get justice for me and our child. I never expected this.
"Boss, don't you think this is too cruel to Mrs. Bruno?" His lieutenant sounded hesitant.
"We'll have more children." Zach sighed, "I'll make it up to her."
My hand moved to my stomach on its own. The emptiness there was a wound on my heart that would never heal. Three days ago, I fell from the second floor, I lost my baby forever.
"What if she insists on exposing the truth?"
Silence filled the room. Zach didn't answer right away.
Then he spoke again, and his words made my blood run cold.
"She won't. Her mother still needs the medication I provide. If she doesn't want her mother's supply cut off, she won't do anything stupid."
Dizziness hit me. I nearly collapsed against the wall.
He knew exactly how to control me. He was using my dying mother as leverage to protect the woman who killed my child.
Yesterday when I found that footage, I was furious. I couldn't believe the person who hurt me was my friend. My best friend since college. My maid of honor. The woman I trusted most after my mother. But I watched the screen, the day I fell, Cecilia Langley approaching me from behind as I stood by the railing.
She put her hands on my back. Then she pushed. Hard. When I fell, there was a smile on her face.
It wasn't an accident.
When I showed Zach the footage, I was devastated and enraged. He pulled me into his arms, kissed my forehead, promised me justice. He said: "I'll make her pay for what she did to you. For what she did to our baby."
I believed him then.
What a fool I was.
I stumbled back to my room in a daze, sat on the bed staring at nothing. If Zach was determined to protect Cecilia, I was powerless. What could I do? My skills weren't enough to fight a group of mafia men.
I wanted to cry. Nothing came out. The tears had run dry on that hospital bed, in the moment they told me my child was gone.
My husband valued his mistress more than his wife and child. I hadn't thought it before. Now I was certain. Why else would he destroy the evidence? Why else would he protect her?
My phone rang suddenly, an unknown number lighting up the screen.
I stared at it for a moment, then answered.
"Hello?"
"Vesper."
The voice on the other end made my breath catch. I knew that voice. Lorenzo Marino. Head of the Marino family. The man who abandoned me during a kidnapping because of family pressure. My ex-boyfriend.
My throat tightened and I couldn't speak.
"I heard about what happened," he said quietly. "About the baby. I thought... I thought you might need help."
Tears burned behind my eyes. My voice came out choked. "Yes. I need help."
"Tell me what you need."
"I need to leave. Me and my mother. We need to get out of here."
Silence on the other end, then he spoke again. "Five days from now, the Bruno family is holding their annual grand gala. I'll come for you then. Both of you."
"Thank you."
"Vesper, I—"
I hung up before he could say anything else.
I didn't believe him, I didn't have the energy to believe him. But I needed him.
I stared at the darkening phone screen, lost in thought. Then I turned to get ready for bed.
The moment I turned around, I saw Zach standing in the balcony doorway. His expression was unreadable, those eyes fixed on me, boring into me.
My heart skipped a beat.

“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.

Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
The mafia princess return
A pack of their own
Cursed Beauty and her Three Alpha Mates
Cast out by her pack for being wolfless and plagued by uncontrollable heat, Maya has spent her life surviving humiliation in silence.
Fate drags her into the path of Kael Draven, the ruthless Lycan King who claims her… only to reject her.
But Kael is not the only Alpha bound to her.
Finn, her childhood best friend and the rising Alpha, loves her with a devotion so fierce, he spends four years locked away in the most ruthless dungeon only to keep her safe.
Xander, a rogue wolf who can make even Alphas bow to his will, has waited centuries for her to be reborn, and he has no intention of losing her again.
Three Alphas.
Three claims.
One cursed destiny.
They called her wolfless. They thought she was weak. But she is done hiding, and this time, she's rewriting the rules.
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.
Bound By Power, Torn By Love
She regards him as her only salvation, but he regards her as a pawn for revenge. When two enemies dance on the sharp knife, what will be the final outcome?
The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”
The Vampire Prince's Hybrid Bride
HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.
From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
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?

I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

**
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.
