Chapter 1
Eliza's high-pitched voice stung my eardrums as she yelled, "Get up, Althea," and tore the duvet from my body. "Get up," she said again, "you don't intend to lie in bed all day, do you? Her beady tiny eyes blazed at me, "Get your pathetic self downstairs, there's work to be done." She spat out and left the room. I hurried out of bed right away, searching everywhere for any indication of danger, but I couldn't find any. I shook as I went to dress, and as I was brushing my teeth, I thought about how I had broken one of Eliza's vases the day before while dusting them, and I had received a harsh punishment for it.
My foster father, Beta Felix, nearly ran into me as I hurried out of my room after taking a short bath and getting ready. I trembled as I snapped out of my daydream. "Althea! Are your eyes as worthless as the rest of you now? "Watch your step next time, pathetic omega." I bowed my head, apologized, and hurried down the stairs to meet Eliza, fighting back the familiar sting of tears behind my eyes.
My foster sister, Sable was sitting with a book when I came downstairs. I tried to blend in with the background as I walked, but luck has never been on my side . "You're awake, Althea! What a shame, I was hoping you would die in your sleep because you're not useful to this family or the pack as a whole," she said, staring at me with disgust and hatred in her intense blue eyes. With her stunning blue eyes and pin-straight chestnut hair, Sable was a few years older than me and more attractive than I was. Although she was superior to me in every way, she was constantly looking for ways to make my already terrible life even worse.
Eliza was waiting for me in the kitchen, and I bowed my head pitifully as I entered. She virtually threw the dustpan and broom at me as soon as she spotted me,"Get to sweeping!" She shrieked, "And when you're done sweeping, you scrub the floors and dust the ornaments and...." I ignored her because I already knew what to do as I was already used to my daily schedule of strenuous tasks. Sable went to her room upstairs while I was cleaning the floor, and I was relieved to be alone and by myself because I wouldn't be bothered by anyone.
In less than five minutes, Sable returned downstairs with a small container and a sly smile. I was always in trouble when Sable had that smile on her face, so I was devastated. I was a little relieved when she ignored me and sat down, so I continued with sweeping
"Good morning, daddy dearest" was Sable's greeting when Beta Felix down the stairs a few moments later, her voice as sweet as sugar. Felix told his daughter, "You look incredibly beautiful these days, like a true beta." His voice was warm and loving, but then abruptly became abrasive, "Althea!" He pointed to the floor and said, "Are you really going blind or are you just acting like your usual pathetic self?" I walked over to see what he was pointing at and noticed that the area I had just swept was now sandy. I then glanced at the container next to it and saw Sable grinning; the mean girl had kept sand in the container only to spill it on the place I had swept, but I knew that telling Felix would only earn me a beating so I swept it up quietly.
I swept, scrubbed, and dusted till my arms nearly fell off as the day wore on, feeling even more damaged. I felt jealous and resentful of Sable since she was connecting and joking with her parents while I was doing the duties, and I was always trapped with chores while she just read and ate. I sighed as I carried on with my tasks.
As the day passed on, I felt more and more exhausted , my body ached all over from the strenuous activities, and my mind was numb from the constant barrage of insults and abuse being thrown at me while I worked.
As the sun began to set, I felt relief wash over me. Another day of abuse was slowly coming to an end, and I could finally be alone with my thoughts and get some rest. But as I looked around at the messy kitchen that was just spotless five minutes ago, I knew my rest had been pushed back further, I immediately got to work and in less than twenty minutes, I had once again cleaned up the messy kitchen.
As I trudged up the stairs, I was somewhat happy that I was able to survive yet another day of toil and abuse but I secretly feared that tomorrow
might be much worse.

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.

But Rafael carries secrets—secrets that could destroy them both. And the closer Vivienne gets, the harder it is to tell if he’s her way out… or the reason she never escapes.

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.

The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Why are you here again?” I demanded, unable to stop my eyes from rolling as I stepped back. Lucien followed anyway, irritation flickering across his face. “Have you forgotten this is my personal space? It’s disrespectful,” he said, voice low and authoritative. I knew exactly what he meant. I snorted. “Oh, please. If I didn’t know any better, I would think you were obsessed with me, Lucien.” His eyes darkened. “I don’t think you should speak to a prince like that. Perhaps titles are in order.” “Which one should I use?” I shot back. “Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.

Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
