Introduction
"Chloe's,Do you know that Ethan is getting married too? His wedding is on the same day as yours," Evelyn said as her grip on the steering wheel tightened.
A frozen smile appeared on the corner of Chloe's mouth in an instant. In the end, she shook her head and looked out the window.
The green light came on, and the car started moving. Evelyn looked ahead, unable to help but recall the past.
"Back in school, you two were so high-profile. Everyone said that if you two ever separated, neither of you would survive it," she slowly said. "But who would have thought that you would actually break up."
"People grow up..." Chloe lowered her eyes, her voice barely audible.
Listening to this, Evelyn didn't bring up the topic again.
On the way, Chloe opened her mouth several times, wanting to ask who Ethan was marrying, but in the end, she never uttered the question.
At the bridal shop, she went to the fitting room to try on wedding dresses, while Evelyn sat on the sofa waiting.
Suddenly, a familiar male voice echoed in her ears. "This one will do." The man's tone was casual, his deep and charming voice resonating. Evelyn's expression changed, instantly recognizing the man by his voice. The man was Ethan Blackwood!

Chapter 1
In Middleton city, early spring in March brought light rain and temperatures ranging from 41°F to 50°F.
Chloe Hollis stood at the entrance of the residential area, waiting for her best friend Evelyn Lockhart to pick her up. Today was the day she and her fiancé Aiden Tinsley were supposed to try on wedding dresses, but Aiden had something come up last minute, so Chloe invited her friend Evelyn to accompany her. After just two or three minutes, her friend arrived.
"What's wrong with Aiden? Is he so busy that he can't even accompany you to try on wedding dresses?" Shortly after getting in the car, Evelyn began to complain.
Chloe quickly explained on behalf of her fiancé, and Evelyn stopped complaining. The two chatted for a while, and as they waited at a traffic light, Evelyn suddenly looked at Chloe and cautiously broached a topic.
"Do you know that Ethan is getting married too? His wedding is on the same day as yours," Evelyn said as her grip on the steering wheel tightened.
A frozen smile appeared on the corner of Chloe's mouth in an instant. In the end, she shook her head and looked out the window.

Suddenly, a familiar male voice echoed in her ears. "This one will do." The man's tone was casual, his deep and charming voice resonating. Evelyn's expression changed, instantly recognizing the man by his voice. The man was Ethan Blackwood!
At this moment, Chloe had already changed into the wedding dress. She originally wanted Evelyn to help her take a look, but she noticed that Evelyn's complexion wasn't right.
Approaching, Chloe looked at Evelyn in confusion, "What happened? You seem displeased."
Forcing a smile, Evelyn grabbed Chloe and tried to lead her away. "This dress doesn't look good. Let's go change into another one."
With a swift sound, the curtain in front suddenly got pulled open. Ethan stood there, his handsome and carefree face radiating confidence.
Chloe looked up, her whole body freezing in an instant, her mind going blank. Watching him approach, her breathing became tense. Evelyn immediately stood in front of Chloe, shielding her.
"I'm not going to eat her. Why are you so nervous?" Ethan chuckled.
Chloe looked at Ethan, taking a moment to regain her voice. "When did you come back?"
"The day before yesterday," Ethan replied casually.
After speaking, he glanced up and down at the wedding dress on Chloe, his gaze darkening for a moment.
"Getting married?" he asked.
"Yes," Chloe responded lightly.
"We're classmates. Should I get an invitation?" Ethan said with a faint smile.
Chloe, looking at that smile, suddenly tightened her grip on her palms. Back then, it was because of such a smile that she lost her composure and ended up with a self-delusional and wishful outcome. Chloe curved her lips into a slight arc, trying to calm herself as much as possible.
"Next month on the 19th. I don't think you will have time," she answered.
Ethan stared at her motionlessly, his gaze suddenly growing darker. He pushed Evelyn away, slowly leaned in, and whispered into Chloe's ear. "Does your fiancé know that you were already tainted before the wedding?"

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
2m Views · Ongoing · Jaylee
Soft hot lips find the shell of my ear and he whispers, "You think I don't want you?" He pushes his hips forward, grinding into the back of my ass and I groan. "Really?" He chuckles.
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?

She was a ghost in the trees. Now, she is a prisoner of the pack.
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.

I never knew my blood could kill a king—until I met one. Sebastian, the ruthless and immortal King, rules with precision. For centuries, he's ruled with ruthless precision, his heart as cold as the stone throne beneath him. One moment, I'm nothing. The next, I'm his obsession. His touch burns like ice fire. His stare follows me through shadows. And when he feeds from me—God help me—it feels like drowning in darkness and craving more. He tells me my blood is unlike any he's tasted, that my scent drives him to the edge of madness.
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.

This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

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.

Then comes Jax Miller.
Jax is a hotheaded rookie with a lightning-fast puck and a reputation for burning bridges. He doesn't follow playbooks, he doesn't respect authority, and he’s determined to melt Julian’s icy composure.

Forced to navigate the high-stakes world of sports fame, "forbidden" locker-room tension, and the mysterious blackmailer who caught their first mistake on camera, Julian and Jax must decide what’s more dangerous: losing their careers, or losing themselves to the person they were supposed to hate.

Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.

First Taste in a Century

Fresh out of college and fumbling through his first year in the real world, twenty-two-year-old Lysander wanders away from a friend’s party and into an isolated forest. There, he stumbles upon the high-tech laboratory hidden within the ancient castle of Vivienne—a vampire who has spent one century cultivating solitude. Disgusted by the intimacy required to hunt, she long ago withdrew from humanity, passing the endless decades perfecting homemade synthetic blood rather than sampling the countless varieties of plasma she grew tired of.
