Chapter 1
I've been reborn, transported back to the day I gave birth to my daughter.
In my past life, I humbled myself for love, only to be betrayed by my husband Caspian and his mistress Serafina.
They disfigured me, murdered my little girl, and threw me in prison.
This time around, I'm divorcing him without a second thought, holding my daughter close, and escaping this living hell!
Arlene's POV
"So she didn't die after all." That was my mother-in-law, Rowena Valcour. "Making such a fuss over having a baby..."
Her voice dripped with disgust.
Tears streamed down my face as I lay on the delivery bed, sobbing uncontrollably.
But no one knew why I was crying.
They assumed it was the pain, the exhaustion.
Only I knew the truth—these were tears of joy.
I had been reborn. Back to the very day I gave birth to my daughter.
Three years ago, Caspian's grandmother, Helen Valcour, had arranged our marriage.
But after the wedding, he never once touched me.
He told me I wasn't worthy of him. That I was nothing but a burden forced upon him. That Serafina Cross was the only woman he would ever love.
I refused to accept it. I used every trick I could think of, climbing into his bed one night when he was drunk.
A month later, I was pregnant.
I thought having his child would change his heart.
I was wrong.
From that moment on, his hatred for me only deepened, casting a shadow over my entire pregnancy.
His parents had never liked me, and now they treated me like a thorn in their side.
Only Helen protected me, securing my fragile place in the Valcour household.
In my previous life, after my difficult labor, Caspian demanded a divorce.
I refused. I made a scene, crying and begging him to stay.
In the end, Helen ordered that I be brought back to the estate.
But that very night, Serafina was in a car accident. She "died."
From then on, Caspian's hatred for me reached its peak.
He was convinced I had killed Serafina.
He began to torment me, humiliate me, demanding that I "pay for Serafina's life."
I wanted to leave.
But I couldn't bear to abandon my daughter.
Two years later, Serafina "returned from the dead," making a grand reappearance as a celebrated violinist.
She was more beautiful than before—her surgically enhanced face as perfect as a porcelain doll.
The first thing she did upon her return was destroy my face. Then she had me thrown out of the Valcour home.
And the worst part? On my daughter's third birthday, she died.
Serafina told everyone that I had killed my own child.
The Valcours took me to court.
A month later, I died of illness in prison.
When I drew my last breath, I was still clutching a photo of my daughter at one year old.
And Serafina? She got exactly what she wanted—she became Caspian's wife.
Now, I had been reborn.
Back to when my daughter was still alive.
In my previous life, I had knelt on the ground, crying and begging them to let me stay.
I thought if I was humble enough, they would take pity on me.
And what happened? The more I debased myself, the more they saw me as easy prey.
This time, I would take my daughter and escape this hell.

"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.

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.
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.”

In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?

A pack of their own
To protect what’s mine
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"

Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."

As they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just the pack, but the future of every living thing, Kaelen must fight for a kingdom he doesn't know and Lena must confront a legacy she tried to bury. In a world of broken thrones and fated bonds, they will discover that the greatest choice is not between love and duty, but between who you are told you must be, and who you choose to become.
