Introduction
A lace thong soiled with bodily fluids, and a hotel bedsheet with traces of blood.
I flipped the table right there.
But when I looked up, Jasper was just staring at the mess with a helpless, amused smirk.
"The little girl is throwing a tantrum. Don't mind it. Our wedding is in three days. Don't worry, once we're married, this kind of thing won't happen again."
Staring at the text message I had just received on my phone, all my rage instantly went cold.
I looked at Jasper's indifferent face and gave him a smiling nod.
A grand gift awaits him at our wedding in three days.
Let's see if he can stay this calm and collected then.
Chapter 1
At the stroke of midnight on my birthday, I stared at the gift Jasper had sent me, completely paralyzed.
A lace thong soiled with bodily fluids, and a hotel bedsheet with traces of blood.
I flipped the table right there.
But when I looked up, Jasper was just staring at the mess with a helpless, amused smirk.
"The little girl is throwing a tantrum. Don't mind it. Our wedding is in three days. Don't worry, once we're married, this kind of thing won't happen again."
Staring at the text message I had just received on my phone, all my rage instantly went cold.
I looked at Jasper's indifferent face and gave him a smiling nod.
A grand gift awaits him at our wedding in three days.
Let's see if he can stay this calm and collected then.
Jasper looked a bit surprised by my reaction.
But he merely raised an eyebrow.
Stepping right over the disgusting mess on the floor, he walked toward the door with a chuckle, already dialing his phone.
"You're so bad... don't let me catch you doing that again..."
I kicked aside the cream-smeared rose petals on the floor and laid out the blood-spotted hotel sheet and the soiled thong.
I snapped a few close-ups of the blood and the filth.
Then, I opened my social media and uploaded these photos.
[Caption: Thanks to my fiancé for the birthday gift. I absolutely love it.]
I set a custom audience filter, making it visible only to two exclusive groups: 'Media Contacts' and 'Business Associates.'
And I hit send.
Thirty seconds later, just outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Jasper—who had been smoking and flirting on the phone—suddenly went pale.
In the blink of an eye, he stormed back inside, roaring.
He snatched the phone right out of my hand and hurled it against the floor.
"Tess, what the hell is this supposed to mean?!"
"Exactly what it says," I replied, my voice steady. "Your little pet bird went through a lot of trouble to prepare this birthday surprise for me. It would be rude not to show my appreciation for her hard work."
Jasper let out an exasperated sigh.
"Tess, she's young. It was her first time. Why are you being so petty? The position of Mrs. Rainer..."
"The position of Mrs. Rainer belongs to me! So I'm supposed to just sit here, nod, and play the docile wife while you sleep around with one, two, or a hundred other women? Jasper, that kind of old-world marriage is dead!"
I thought I could keep my emotions in check.
After all, that text message I had just received gave me all the leverage I needed.
But eight years of love and tolerance for Jasper had been drained dry by this happening once, twice, a million times.
A flash of disgust crossed Jasper's eyes.
"Tess, don't push it. If it weren't for me, you'd still be rotting in that remote rural town, probably abused to death by the drunks in your trailer park!"
He looked down at me from his high horse, as if reminding me that he was the one who lifted me out of the dirt.
I should be grateful.
The metallic taste of blood spread in my mouth from biting my cheek.
I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the face.
Smack.
"You sponsored my education, Jasper. But that split-liver transplant surgery three years ago? I literally gave you a second life! I don't owe you a damn thing!"
Jasper froze.
His chest heaved up and down as he processed the sting on his cheek.
A few minutes later, he forced himself to calm down.
He took a step forward and smoothly tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear.
"Tess, I didn't mean it like that. The Rainer Group is in the middle of a massive funding round right now. You know what public reputation means to me. I promise you, once we're married, this will never happen again."
"Tomorrow is the Rainer Group's press conference. Regarding what you posted tonight... I need you to go out there and clear it up for me."
His prefume used to make my heart race and my cheeks flush.
Tonight, for the first time, it just made me want to vomit.
I dodged his outstretched hands, took a step back, grabbed my purse, and turned to leave.
As I walked away, Jasper let out a satisfied sigh.
He knew me.
Over the past eight years, things like this had happened too many times.
He assumed my silence meant he had won again.
But this time, he was dead wrong.
"Sir, what should we do with this bedsheet and underwear?" a hotel staff member asked nervously. "Just throw them away?"
"No," Jasper replied. "Fold them up and put them in the trunk of my car."
Jasper was an absolute germaphobe.
Just yesterday, he had politely refused to let me put my freshly dry-cleaned heels in his trunk.
I understood now.
A cheating dog just loves rolling around in the dirtiest trash.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
Mated To My Nemesis
Agnes Tremaine arrived in Melbourne with a camera but no backstory in this world. She was meant to document one season. She never realized she was already the blueprint — that the connections, the open doors, and the meticulous arrangements were all built specifically for her, tailored and designed to use her.
Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
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.
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.
The rejected white luna
Fated to the Enemy: The Alpha's Witch Bride
My touch tames his inner beast.
… Until I find another woman’s bite mark on his neck.
As a holy witch, I shouldn't be sneaking out for Zuri—a cursed shape-shifter from a rival clan.
But our forbidden heat is intoxicating.
When his monstrous Primal breaks free, slaughtering everything in its path, even his fiercest warriors cower.
I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.
He sneaks into the woods for me. We share a deep, hungry kiss under the moonlight.
But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
Is a fresh, undeniable bite mark.
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.
