Introduction
"And let me make this clear to you Taylor, if—if at all you have your way with me being your husband...your mate," he corrected.
"I'd make sure I will be with other she-wolves and make sure you feel every pain of betrayal; I'll see to it that you feel how I felt when you killed my Odette," he said, walking closer to me. The back of my throat stung with tears that were already brimming.
Odette has always been the apple of everyone's eyes, even after her death. Meanwhile, Taylor was always overlooked, and hated by everyone. Everyone wished for her death --- including her parents, and Killian, her mate. She never had been loved by anyone, always in her sister's shadow but everything changed after her sister's death. Instead of being simply ignored, she was the object of hate, and to be bullied.
Taylor still bore all the guilt, even though she was the one chosen by the Moon Goddess, until she realised, Killian, who always thought Odette as his future Luna to be his mate turned out to be mated to her! Unable to bear the thought that the mate she always wished for to turn out to be the man, who always hated and taunted her, and even mistaking her for Odette, she was at the breaking point!
Determined, she forced Killian to accept her rejection. But what will happen when Killian realises the truth behind the plot, and instantly regrets it? Will he chase her back? Will Taylor forgive and accept him, or will she never forgive, and be with the man she's destined to be with?
Chapter 1
(Taylor's POV)
“Where's Mrs. Catherine?” I flinched at the sudden question while someone rested her hand on my shoulders.
I was dumbfounded for a while, fearing I had been caught when she repeated again. “Where's Mrs. Catherine?”
“Mrs. Catherine Jones?” I sighed out of relief as I rubbed the tear dripping down my cheeks before turning towards her.
“Yes, the Beta’s wife.”
I smiled and pointed at the distance toward my mom. “Over there.”
“Thank you, Miss…”
“Taylor,” I replied, giving her a polite smile as she nodded and made her way towards my mother. “Taylor Jones,” I murmured, glancing at her as she walked away.
I continued to force a smile while I helped the guests settle down, trying to keep myself busy in this commotion as if I was trying hard to forget about everything.
My eyes glistened with tears as I looked at everyone around me. Everyone was dressed in black, and looked gloomy while some even wailed in silence.
Today was my birthday, my 16th birthday. And, this was supposed to be my birthday celebration. But, now, it has turned into a funeral. The funeral of my older sister, Odette, the favorite child of my parents, and the apple of the pack members’ eyes. Meanwhile, I, the youngest daughter of Beta Elliott, had been forgotten. None of them even remembered my existence, just like that guest.
We were both the Beta’s daughters. I was the youngest daughter but I’ve lived my life like a dead person. We were both their daughters, but I was always ignored while she had always been the center of attention and the heart of the pack. I had always been her shadow.
No one in the pack, and even in this home even remembered the youngest daughter of the Beta, Taylor. It was as if Odette was the main character and I was the supporting character which made her shine.
My birthday was never celebrated, forgotten every time as if I never existed here. This was the first time my birthday was going to be celebrated. And, it was all thanks to my sister, Odette’s engagement. Odette was soon going to be engaged so I was finally allowed to have a celebration. It was going to be the first time but now… Everything has changed. All the decorations and food have been changed and repurposed for my sister's funeral. No one even remembered today was my birthday as well. And, like every other year, even my parents have forgotten about it.
She was the eldest and my parents’ pride and joy but… “What about me?” My thoughts escaped and I unconsciously said it aloud.
My parents turned a strange look around me, raising their eyebrows and frowned.
“What's the matter?”
My lips widened but words kept stuck in my head. My mom frowned, with displeasure written in her face.
“I… Today…” My father crooked his eyebrows when I paused and shook my head, looking down. “It's nothing… Take care of yourself, today.” I murmured when my father turned away, disinterested.
My mother pulled me by my shoulder, looking sternly and warned, “Behave yourself today. Don't cause any trouble. Today is your sister's funeral day.”
“Mom…”
Her gaze turned colder upon hearing me call her. “Remember why this happened to your sister. It's all because of you. Now, just behave yourself well.” Mom warned me for the last time before she turned away and left.
I bit my lips and went away from there to the corner while my mom's words kept repeating in my mind.
A tear escaped from my eyes uncontrollably. My chest felt stuffy, looking at everyone around me. Everyone came here on the day of my birthday but this was for my sister's funeral. Never once has anyone ever celebrated my birthday. It was as if no one ever wished I was born.
My sister was the one who was always looked upto, loved and respected. She was widely recognised to be the mate of the Alpha's son — Killian. She was to-be the future Luna of our pack.
Even though they weren't mated as Odette was yet to turn 20 but everyone assumed she was going to be the future Luna, mated to Killian as if it was very natural. After all, who else except Odette could be the future Luna? Everyone was already preparing for their engagement even before she left for college.
I looked down while recalling Odette’s face. She… Was she really going to be the pack’s Luna, Killian’s future mate? I sighed. Even though no one knew how Odette really was, I knew her well. She… wasn't simple.
I bit my lips as I rubbed my tears off my face. I knew it was pretty to think about all of these at her funeral but even before, when she was here, no one cared for me. And, no one still cares even now.
I frowned, taking a deep breath while I tugged my hair beside my ear. My heart thumped, feeling impatient and frustrated. I looked at everyone coming for my sister's funeral. It was going to be even bigger than the birthday celebration my parents set up for me. Though they even forgot it was my birthday today.
I released a deep breath, trying to hold onto my tears. I didn't want to be this unreasonable and make a scene.
Maybe, just maybe, anyone would still remember that it was my birthday today. Especially my parents. This time they were going to celebrate my birthday. So, they might remember it this time.
“Even if they forget about it this time, it's just because of Odette's death… She was their favorite after all… It's normal if they forgot about it in their sorrows…” I whispered to myself while clenching my fists, trying to sooth myself.
I shouldn't be petty. Today was my sister's funeral.
I put on a painful smile, shaking off my thoughts as I focused on the guests entering.
“I can't let anyone badmouth my parents for my behavior…” I murmured, nodding to myself. This time there were many present, both from the pack and also from other packs. I had to behave for my parents and my pack. And, I can't let my parents worry about me while they're still disheartened…

BRUISED LOVE
The safe dorm.
The boring dorm.
What he got instead was Maverick Hale campus menace, underground street fighter, walking bruise factory, and the last person he ever wanted anywhere near his neat piles of textbooks.
Maverick doesn't care that he's broke.
or in arrears with his fees.
Or one wrong move away from getting kicked out.
He’ll graduate out of sheer spite—he refuses to give his estranged, homophobic father the satisfaction of calling him a failure.
He definitely doesn’t care about the determined, overachieving half-Indian nursing major he’s stuck sharing a room with…
Until Bodhi becomes the only thing keeping him in school.
His tutor.
His healer.
His undoing.
And when Maverick stumbles into their dorm one night with a knife wound and Bodhi stitches him up with shaking hands and a breaking heart…
no longer can that be denied.
Opposites weren’t supposed to collide this way.
But they did.
Hard.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
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.
How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.
When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
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.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
The Hunted Human Mate
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
Taming Her Playboy Bully
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.
COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder. My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.
Andrea was sent to take down billionaire magnate Nicklaus Montgomery.
Her mission was simple: get close, seduce him, find the proof, and disappear. Instead Andrea finds herself exposed—cornered into signing a contract that binds her to Nicklaus's side as his lover. Now she’s living in his world of wealth, danger, and secrets… and the deeper she falls into his bed, the harder it becomes to remember what side she's on.

To survive the mating ceremony and compete against twenty candidates, Maeve ventures into District 3, seeking a vampire to teach her the art of seduction.
Instead, she stumbles into Nikolai’s room—a Crimson vampire who bites her.
He teaches her with his own body.
“Did you catch it? My name.”
He licks her throbbing bud.

Then he rejects her.
Heartbroken, Maeve attends the ceremony—only for Prince Bastian, a Lycan, to discover she’s his fated mate.
His rough hand slides to her neck, finding his enemy’s mark.
“Tell me this wasn’t consensual,” he growls, his erection hard against her.

“If you choose him, I will hunt him.”
But Maeve is not weak.
Because when her blood awakens, choosing one man won’t save her—it will start a war, and only one of them will survive it.

I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
