Introduction
Heather Crown is living a life of solitude with no recollection of her past while Alexander Diadem in on an undefined adventure in search a missing feeling.
This is a journey for them to find oneself and on another and fight a long due battle beside one another.
Chapter 1
The present-day was like any other.
The birds were whistling, the wind was whirling, and the sky dazzled with sunshine. She felt this every time she cycled through the tunes of luscious green bushes and shrubbery.
The enclosure surrounding her was no less than a treat to the sour eyes. It had the power to turn bitter words into musical lyrics. As the distance mushroomed, the hue of the cherry blossom tree waned, yet in the end, it still looked beautiful.
There was something tranquil about the environment that made her feel at ease and added a sparkle to her face. There was consolation, a sense of comfort, as if you were a child of nature.
One cannot deny that good settings bring joy and positivity to the creatures living inside them. There is a calmness and assurance that no force in the world can harm you. There is no negativity, recognition of vengeance, or severe retaliation.
Even a fleeting look or experience of the beauty encompassing her made her mesmerized. Passers-by briefly acknowledged her as she cycled her way through the crowds, smiled, and said "hello" to her.
She responded by grinning back at them.
The children who had been sprinting through or strolling alongside one of their parents or guardians joyfully waved at her, called out her name, and some even gave her a hi-fi as she rode past them.
Even though she felt at home on the one hand, she occasionally experiences a lingering sensation of desolation deep inside her.
Heather Crown strongly believed that everyone has a purpose in life, but she was still seeking one.
The folks in the village regarded her as a pure soul. They saw her as a reservoir of health and prosperity.
She never saw herself as one, but nonetheless, she always respectfully acknowledged them with a thankful grin.
What else could she possibly say to them?
She felt warm and adored just by how they treated her.
With respect and dignity.
The people in this town had become her family in just two short years. When she had nowhere else to turn, they took her in. They had fostered and raised her. They provided her with food, clothing, and a roof over her head rather than merely turning away and allowing her to fend for herself. When she was dumped at their door with no dignity, they welcomed her with open arms as if she were one of their own.
If Heather could stand on her own two feet and live a fulfilling life today, it was because of this town, yet she always felt that something was awry.
Despite having everything she could ever need and dream of, she still felt something was lacking. Her sheer existence on this planet did not fulfil her life's purpose.
She helped others, worked hard, and thrived, yet she could not shake the feeling of belongingness in the world.
Although she did not think of herself as a remarkable woman, deep down in her heart, she knew she was also not meant to exist as a commoner in this world.
Heather Crown was confident that her purpose of existence was significant. She could not place it, but she had a nagging feeling that something pertinent awaited her.
She lived each day in the hope that she would find her goal, but at the end of each day, just as she was about to collapse in her bed in defeat, all she felt was a slight sense of satisfaction from having helped the villagers who had taken her in and treated her as one of their own.
But it did not stop her from being persistent. Although she had not yet discovered her inner calling, she was still pursuing her passion and using her skills to help others in need.
She was currently in the store looking for herbs that could ease the agony and mend the wounds of people in need.
"Good day, Heather. What can I get for you today?" Mr. Oscar greeted her as he kept the money in one of his drawers.
Mr. Oscar, a 102-year-old man, has been managing the medical emporium with the help of his 65-year-old son, his 25-year-old grandson, and his 135-year-old elderly father. Heather has always admired the energy with which he and his family pursue their venture while contributing back to the community.
Their emporium had been in operation in the village since the inception of the Oscars family.
The neighborhood is aware of Oscar's skill in handling and distributing herbs. Whether for medicinal or sous-vide purposes.
At the Oscar Emporium, all varieties of herbs can be found.
Whatever sort of herb you desire, they will obtain it for you with an honest smile on their face, and this is one of the prime reasons for their success.
"I am currently running low on Curcuma Longa," Heather responded to him with a smile on her face.
"I will get it for you. The most recent consignment of Tanacetum Parthenium just arrived. Would you like me to wrap that for you as well?"
Oscars have always been able to sell her some extra herbs, and it always came to her help when she least anticipated it, as well as the other folks from what they had shared. They seemed to be able to sense it with a sixth sense.
She was willing to buy Tanacetum Parthenium even if she did not need it. In an emergency, one never knows what they might require.
Heather smiled gratefully and gently replied, "If you may, please."
Oscars always had a bizarre sense of hearing a person's aid before one even knew it. One might consider their suggestion of selling additional item as a business strategy, but people in this village have known the Oscars for their goodwill and generosity. Moreover, it had been a long time since she had stopped questioning their capabilities and accepted everything graciously that they had to offer.
She handed him the change for the items she purchased and maintained a heartful conversation with him for a little while about his family's health before cycling back to her home, which was not too far from the emporium.

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.
Mission: Steal the Male Lead
But the more Morwenna changes the story, the stranger the world becomes.

But if the world itself was never meant to belong to its characters, can she steal the male lead before fate steals her freedom first?
Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface. When Dante is poisoned by a rival syndicate with a deadly toxin no doctor can cure, he offers a fortune for anyone who can save him.
Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
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.

For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love.

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.
