Chapter 1
A basin of cold water hit Zoey King's face, making her shiver and snap her eyes open. Her whole body felt like it had been run over by a truck, and a bunch of loud, angry voices erupted around her.
"You shameless girl! How could you do this to Mr. Scott?"
"Zoey, how could you? You're about to get married!"
"Disgrace! You've shamed the King Family!"
Zoey's head pounded from all the noise. She looked down and realized she was only in her underwear. Her neck and exposed skin were covered in big, obvious hickeys.
Memories began to resurface as Zoey massaged her temples, eventually remembering the wild events of the previous night.
She had been drugged with some aphrodisiac at the bar and had fought off some creepy guys with everything she had.
In her daze, she had stumbled into this room. The next thing she knew, she was in the arms of some guy.
In her dazed state, she couldn't recall the guy's appearance. She only remembered grabbing him, and then feeling his hands all over her.
When she woke up, the guy was gone, but a big crowd had gathered at the door.
Zoey looked up and coldly stared at a familiar face in the crowd—Luna King, her sister, the mastermind behind everything that happened last night.
If Luna hadn't messed with her drink, Zoey wouldn't have ended up in this room and lost her virginity.
Noticing Zoey's dark glare, Luna looked away and grabbed the arm of the stern-faced Brian Scott.
"Brian, I'm so sorry. Zoey has always been a bit of a wild one, and we've tried talking to her many times. I never thought she'd be so bold as to ignore your engagement and sleep with another man. It's the King Family's fault for not keeping her in check..." Luna's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip.
Behind her, Zoey's father, Timothy King, and her mother, Hazel King, were also furious, looking at Zoey like they wanted to tear her apart.
"Zoey! Get over here and apologize to Mr. Scott!" Timothy gritted his teeth.
"I've always said we shouldn't have brought her back. She should've been left to fend for herself in that poor, remote village!" Hazel wiped her tears in anger, as if Zoey wasn't her biological daughter but her mortal enemy.
Zoey's lips curled in mockery, but her heart remained unmoved. These were the parents her master insisted she return to honor.
They cherished Luna, their adopted daughter, as if she were a treasure, while constantly making life hard for their own biological child.
Zoey now regretted listening to her master and coming back to be bullied by these people.
Half a year ago, the King Family had sent people to Whispering Pines Village to bring her back, claiming she was the long-lost true daughter of the King Family.
Zoey hadn't wanted to reconnect with this family, but her master, Saul Pena, had persuaded her, so she agreed.
Since returning to the King Family, she had been met with disdain at every turn. Timothy and Hazel didn't like their rough, country-bred daughter, but they doted on the delicate Luna. Their favoritism was extreme!
Zoey put on her clothes, ignoring the almost furious stares from the crowd, and stood up calmly.
Brian took a step forward, his eyes blazing with anger. "Zoey, do you even care about our engagement?"
Zoey looked at him, a mocking smile on her lips. "Brian, shouldn't I be asking you that? What were you and Luna doing at the bar last night? Do you think I didn't see?"
Brian's face stiffened, and his expression became unnatural. "You're lying about me! You're the one who cheated, and now you're blaming me and Luna? That's just low!"
He turned to Timothy and Hazel, "I don't think this marriage should happen! The Scott family doesn't need a woman like her!"
Timothy and Hazel immediately panicked. Hazel forced a smile, afraid of losing this good match. "Brian, don't be hasty. This is Zoey's fault, and we'll discipline her. The King and Scott families arranged this marriage a long time ago. Please think it over."
Brian glanced at Zoey, then turned and gently took Luna's hand. "Timothy, Hazel, to be honest, I've always loved Luna. We've been together since childhood. Now that Zoey has proven unfaithful, I think the engagement should be between Luna and me."
The two gazed at each other affectionately, ignoring the shocked faces around them.
Zoey had finished dressing and looked at the text message on her phone: [Dr. K, everything's ready for the experiment. Director Aaron Hill has arranged a pickup for you, and they should arrive soon.]
Zoey had no time to waste on these fools. As she walked towards the door, Luna grabbed her. Turning around, Zoey saw Luna's tearful face, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Zoey, where are you going? Are you mad because of my feelings for Brian? It's my fault. I shouldn't have fallen for him. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, just that you don't stand in the way of us being together..."
Another round of tears. Zoey was tired of this act. Since returning to the King Family, Luna had pulled this stunt countless times.
Every time Luna shed a tear, the entire King Family would side with her. This time was no different.
Zoey frowned and impatiently shook off her hand. "I don't have time for your drama. Get lost!"
The next second, there was a cry of surprise as Luna fell backward and hit the ground hard.
Brian rushed to help her, glaring at Zoey with anger. "Are you crazy?! How dare you hurt your sister?"
Timothy and Hazel were also furious.
But Zoey just smirked and walked towards the door.
Timothy's angry shout came from behind her. "You wretch! Where are you going?"
Zoey paused, slightly turned her head, and smiled calmly. "I'm going to find the handsome guy I slept with yesterday! Brian has found a new love, so why can't I?"
Timothy's face turned ashen and his fingers trembled as he pointed at Zoey's departing figure before he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Ignoring the commotion behind her, Zoey walked out of the hotel.
Outside, a group of men in black stood in neat rows, exuding a powerful aura.
As soon as Zoey stepped out, the men in black bowed in unison, their voices loud and clear. "Welcome, Dr. K!"

Werewolf's Heartsong
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.

Mated To My Nemesis
Agnes Tremaine arrived in Melbourne with a camera but no backstory in this world. She was meant to document one season. She never realized she was already the blueprint — that the connections, the open doors, and the meticulous arrangements were all built specifically for her, tailored and designed to use her.
Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.
Mission: Steal the Male Lead
But the more Morwenna changes the story, the stranger the world becomes. The heroine seems to know the future, unseen spectators begin commenting on her life, and the gods watching from above grow obsessed with the drama unfolding before them. Trapped in a story where fate has already decided the ending, Morwenna must choose whether to follow the script or rewrite it entirely. 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?
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.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
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. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
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.

MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
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.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
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.
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
