Introduction
Until the woman he loved betrayed him. After years together, they parted ways.
Five years later, their paths crossed again. He sat at a bar with another woman in his arms, but the moment he saw her, rage flashed in his eyes.
"You betrayed me. What gives you the right to show your face here?"
She nodded and walked away.
He lost his mind searching for her.
Only then did he learn why she had really left.
He pulled her close, arms tight around her. "Marry me. Whatever burdens you carry, I'll carry them with you. Whatever tears fall, I'll wipe them away."
Chapter 1
"That's Shane Carter, the special guest at this party. He's been really famous in New York lately..."
Monica Scott heard people nearby talking and looked up to see that familiar figure.
Shane Carter was wearing a black suit, holding a champagne glass. He stood tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and there was a cold, distant air in his every move.
Monica's stomach twisted as memories came flooding back...
That boy who always wore white T-shirts, who would wrap his arm around her waist, nuzzle her cheek with his nose, and describe their future with burning eyes.
Just like that, five years had passed.
She thought she'd never cross paths with Shane again in this lifetime, but here she was, running into him at a client's celebration party.
Monica's eyes welled up, her fingers trembling uncontrollably. Instinctively, she wanted to turn and leave.
"Ms. Scott, don't rush off."
A sweet, delicate voice stopped her.
Monica paused and slowly turned around.
Cindy Hall was wearing an expensive gown, looking her up and down with a challenging gaze, her lips curling into a contemptuous smile. "What a surprise that GrandView Corporation's partner this time is the law firm Ms. Scott works for. I heard they have extremely high standards for partners. Guess that's not really the case."
Her words were barbed, making Monica frown.
Cindy Hall was Shane's high school classmate who had pursued him for a long time, but Shane had chosen Monica instead.
Because of this, Cindy had always held a grudge against Monica.
Several people nearby heard the commotion and turned to look their way with curious eyes.
Shane, standing in the crowd, lowered his head and swirled his glass, not even lifting an eyelid, as if everything happening had nothing to do with him.
After all, this was a celebration party hosted by a client. Monica didn't want to make things awkward.
She took a deep breath and put on a polite smile. "Ms. Hall, you're joking. Our firm's partnership with GrandView Corporation is based on professional ability."
"Professional ability?" Cindy snorted coldly, her tone mocking. "Right, five years ago you could abandon everything for your career, so naturally five years later you can use some shady methods to latch onto GrandView Corporation."
Monica's expression darkened, her knuckles turning white as she gripped her glass.
She knew Cindy was referring to her abandoning Shane back then.
The incident had caused quite a stir at the time. Shane had been depressed for a long time because of it and almost couldn't finish his studies.
Shane had excellent grades and came from a good family. Many people felt sorry for him and called Monica a heartless woman behind her back, saying she could abandon such an outstanding man.
Seeing her silence, Cindy's smile grew wider. "Did I actually hit the mark?"
Monica suddenly laughed, a faint smile. "Even if I did latch on, that's my ability. Unlike some people who tried everything five years ago and still couldn't get what they wanted. It's been five years now—you should have succeeded by now, right?"
These words struck right at Cindy's sore spot. She hated most when people mentioned she couldn't win Shane over.
The onlookers started whispering, all curious about what had happened between these two.
Cindy's face instantly turned dark. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Victor, the party host, walked over with a smile.
"What are you all talking about? Seems lively!"
Victor Young was the CEO of GrandView Corporation. He'd seen all kinds of situations and could tell at a glance that these two were at odds.
One was the beautiful lawyer who had just won a lawsuit for him, the other was the daughter of Hall Company. He didn't want to offend either and tried to smooth things over. "Come on, just drinking and chatting is boring. We're all young people here—let's play something exciting to liven things up!"
Victor clapped his hands, signaling everyone to gather around. "Let's play a game—Truth or Dare. How about it?"
The atmosphere instantly picked up, and everyone laughed and agreed.
An empty bottle was placed on the low table in the center, and Victor gave it a hard spin.
Everyone held their breath nervously, except Monica—her mind wasn't on the game at all.
The bottle's spinning gradually slowed down. Finally, the mouth of the bottle pointed squarely at Shane.
"Wow! It's Mr. Carter!"
"Mr. Carter, truth or dare?"
Monica's heart tightened as she stole a glance at him from the corner of her eye.
Shane leaned lazily against the sofa, his expression indifferent, showing no interest in this kind of game.
His thin lips parted slightly. "Dare."
Victor pulled out a slip of paper from the draw box, glanced at it, and immediately showed a mischievous smile. "This is exciting! The task is to share a french fry with a lady present, eating from opposite ends until your lips touch."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room erupted.
Monica instinctively clutched at her dress, wanting to escape immediately.
Even now, she still couldn't let go of Shane. She couldn't bear to watch Shane kiss another woman.
"Mr. Carter, who do you want to choose?" Victor patted Shane's shoulder, asking with a half-smile.

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.
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
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.
Mating Moon
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.

CHASING GHOSTS
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
