Introduction
I only learned the truth before I died—I was the true bloodline of the Sterling family, and my beloved younger brother was nothing but a bastard born from my mother's affair.
Reborn back to the turning point of fate, his parents, who also carried memories of the apocalypse, once again gave his younger brother a "good opportunity": to marry the Siren princess of the Abyss royal family and enjoy the endless wealth and safety of the deep sea.
As for me, I was thrown into the "useless" Sky Tribe.
Unbeknownst to them, an apocalyptic world of extreme heat was about to descend.
They didn't know that the merfolk would drop their disguise when they were hungry .
Chapter 1
I am Alexander Sterling, at least on the surface.
In the Sterling family's ancient manor, I was raised as an illegitimate child for twenty-two years. Meanwhile, Edmund, the sickly "true heir," enjoyed everything that should have been mine.
But I know a secret: I am the true bloodline of the Sterling family.
I only learned this secret before I died in my previous life. At that time, I was given to Nereon, the King of the Abyss, and was devoured as food in an apocalyptic world of extreme heat. Meanwhile, Edmund married Altera, the princess of the Sky Tribe, and enjoyed a life of luxury.
When Nyrion was starving, she coldly told me the truth: "You are William Sterling's biological son. Edmund is nothing but a bastard child born from Catherine's affair."
Then I died.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back twenty-two years ago, back to that pivotal moment that changed my destiny.
"Edmund, you must listen to us," Lady Catherine's voice came from the drawing room, "only by marrying the daughter of Nereon, the King of the Abyss, can you truly live a life of happiness!"
I hid in the shadows of the corridor, shocked.
In my previous life, my parents arranged for Edmund to marry Altera, the princess of the Sky Clan, and gave me to Nyrion. But now, their choices are completely reversed.
"But Mother," Edmund's voice trembled, "Nirion looks so terrible..."
"Silly child," Earl William approached, "you don't understand, the deep sea is the safest place. You'll understand when you get there."
You'll understand when you're done?
I instantly understood—my parents had also been reborn!
Knowing the advantages of the deep sea in the apocalypse, they wanted Edmund to enjoy the good life I had in my previous life. As for me, the "illegitimate child," they planned to have me marry the sky princess Altera.
My parents' favoritism remains unchanged, but this time I will not let them manipulate me again.
"Edmund, you must trust us," Lady Catherine continued to urge. "The Deep Sea Kingdom possesses boundless wealth, and in the impending catastrophe, only the deep sea is safe."
An impending disaster?
They were indeed reborn, knowing that an apocalyptic world of extreme heat was about to descend.
"What about Alexander?" Edmund asked.
"That bastard?" Earl William said dismissively. "Let him go to the Sky Tribe. The Sky Tribe is useless anyway, it suits his status perfectly."
I clenched my fist in the shadows. They thought the Sky Tribe was useless, but they didn't realize that when extreme heat struck, the geographical advantage of high altitude was their true lifeline.
"Mom and Dad are right," Edmund's voice rose with excitement, "I will marry the Siren princess and become the King of the Deep! As for that bastard, let him fend for himself!"
illegitimate child?
I scoffed. If they knew the truth, would they still say that?
Just then, the sound of a carriage came from outside.
"They're here," Earl William took a deep breath. "Edmund, remember to behave like a gentleman."
Soon, the living room door was pushed open, and two figures walked in.
Leading the way was Princess Siren, daughter of Nereon, the King of the Abyss. She possessed typical merfolk features: a slender figure, pale skin, and deep blue eyes. Her hair was silver-white, damp, and clung to her shoulders.
Following behind her was Princess Altera of the Sky Tribe. She had long golden hair, azure eyes, and a tall, elegant figure. Most striking were the pair of translucent wings on her back, which shimmered in the sunlight.
"Earl Sterling," the Siren princess began, her voice sweet yet dangerous, "I've come to fulfill our promise."
"Your Highness Siren," Earl William immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Welcome. This is my son, Edmund."
Edmund immediately stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with greed: "Your Highness, it would be my greatest honor to be your husband!"
The Siren princess gave him a cold look, a strange smile appearing on her lips.
Altera gave a graceful curtsy: "Your Excellency, Madam, it is a pleasure to meet you. May I ask where Mr. Alexander is?"
"Oh, well..." Earl William said somewhat awkwardly, "He should be upstairs."
"No need," I stepped out of the shadows, "I'm here."
Everyone turned to me. A flicker of displeasure crossed the faces of Earl William and Lady Catherine.
Edmund glared at me with a venomous look: "Oh, so the bastard knows to come out and meet guests, huh?"
The Siren princess looked me over with interest, her deep blue eyes reminding me of the pain I felt when I was torn apart in my previous life.
Altera, on the other hand, looked at me with curiosity and gentleness in her eyes.
"Edmund, watch your words." Earl William frowned, but there was little reproach in his tone.
Once everyone was seated, Edmund eagerly spoke up: "Your Highness Siren, I've heard that the Deep Sea Kingdom possesses countless treasures?"
"Of course," the Siren princess smiled sweetly, "the treasures of the deep sea are beyond your imagination. Moreover, in the face of the impending disaster, the deep sea will be the safest haven."
"Disaster?" I asked, feigning ignorance.
Earl William and Lady Catherine exchanged a glance, clearly not wanting to delve deeper into the topic.
"Nothing much," Earl William replied dismissively, "just some...predictions."
Altera frowned, clearly sensing something. She turned to me: "Mr. Alexander, how much do you know about our Sky Tribe?"
"Not many," I answered honestly, "but I know the Sky Tribe values freedom and peace."
"Ha!" Edmund scoffed. "Freedom and peace? What use are those abstract concepts? They're not as good as real wealth and power!"
Altera's expression grew even colder.
"Of course it's different," Edmund said smugly. "I want practical benefits, not those useless ideals. Your Highness, when can we hold the wedding?"
"Soon," the Siren princess's smile grew even more sinister, "I can't wait... to taste my husband."
She said the word "taste" in a strange tone, but Edmund apparently didn't notice.
"Great!" Edmund exclaimed excitedly.
Altera then said to me, "Mr. Alexander, if you're ready, we should also talk about our business."
"I'm ready." I stood up.
Edmund then approached, a malicious smile on his face: "Bastard, remember this day. From this day forward, you are a complete outsider."
He lowered his voice and said maliciously, "When I become the King of the Deep Sea, the first person I'll deal with is you!"
I looked at him and said calmly, "I'll wait."
Edmund seemed enraged by my calm: "What are you pretending for? Just you wait!"
As the two princesses prepared to leave, the Siren princess said to Edmund, "Are you ready? Let's return to the deep sea now."
"Now?" Edmund jumped up excitedly. "I've been ready for a long time!"
Altera also said to me, "Mr. Alexander, would you like to come with me to the Sky City?"
"certainly."
At the doorway, Edmund turned back and made a throat-cutting gesture at me, silently saying, "Die, you bastard."
Then, excitedly, he followed the Siren princess into the night.
Altera and I were also preparing to leave.
"Alexander," Earl William called to me, "remember to be obedient and don't cause Princess Altera any trouble."
I didn't answer, and followed Altera outside.
As Altera spread her beautiful wings, I took one last look at Sterling Manor.
This time, I am no longer that illegitimate child who can be manipulated at will.
When the extreme heat and apocalypse arrive, I will let those who have hurt me know what karma and retribution are.

Bonds at War: The Virgin is Mine
Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore.
No one believed I could do it—not even my mate, Alpha Jaxon Trevane.
The night I planned to tell him... I found him tangled in bed with my best friend.
Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone.
But the academy isn’t the fairytale I dreamed about.
Beneath the grand halls and traditions, a brutal game is being played.
The four ruling Alphas of the North, South, East, and West fight for power, dominance... and now, for me.
A virgin. Untouched. Unclaimed. The prize they all want.
There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back.
The brilliant strategist who wants me as his Luna.
The dangerous playboy who promises no one will ever touch me but him.
And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him.
But in a place where love is a battlefield and lust is a weapon... falling in love might be the most dangerous thing I ever do.
Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
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.

Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.

Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
