Chapter 1
CJ
Is the week of my 18th birthday. I am super excited, due to my spirit animal awakes from his slumber. Is the start of my manhood. Also, the huge party my parents are throwing for me. We are not rich but my father, BETA Angel Skylar, BETA to the Alpha, comes with some perks here in Stone Valley Pack in Florida. Yes, we are wolves.
Today is 3 days before my birthday on Saturday. I had just been woken up by my older brother Alex who jumps on me as he says “Yo, bro let’s go.” I grunt and jump up. “Why must you do that!” “Because is fun and you’re late getting up.” He laughs as he walks out of my room. He is 20 years old. He trains the advance warriors. He is impressive but annoying.
I get up and get ready for school. I put on my jeans with a tank top and my football jersey over it. I chose not to brush my curly hair and put on my favorite green hat, along with my green sneakers. I grabbed my duffle bag and headed to the kitchen where my whole family was already.
Walking in the kitchen is the best smell ever. My mom, BETA Sheera Skylar, BETA to the Luna, is the best cook. There is no one that has tried her cooking that has not fallen in love with it. This morning she made French toast, bacon, and scramble eggs. I served myself a plate and went in on my plate. “Slow down mijo. Is not going to disappear” my mom tells me. Yes, I’m Hispanic on my mom side. She came from a pack called Bora Red Pack in Puerto Rico.
After I finished breakfast, I grabbed my stuff and took off with Alex to school. He gives me rides since the training grounds are 2 minutes from the school. I arrived and head straight to my locker where my friends, Jace, AJ, and Mike are at. We’ve all been best friends since birth. All our families work in the Pack House. Jace is the son of Gamma Rick Pawster, AJ is the son of Yazmin Longsteed, Maiden to the Luna, and Mike is son of Turner and Mila Rockstead, Captain Warriors.
“What up, bro?” AJ greets me. “Sup guys? Are you guys ready for Saturday? Because I can’t wait.” I say enthusiastic. They all respond at once “You know it!!” We all headed to class after a bit of chatting. Lunch time comes around and I meet the guys at our usual table. I got there first and settled myself. I looked to the side to see if the guys were coming, when I spot this beautiful ginger head. Her hair was so orange. Almost like fire and she had a set of green eyes. As I was admiring her the guys arrived at the table and snapped me out of my trance. When I looked back again, she was gone. I decided to just go with my day. After school we had practice. After practice we hopped in Jace’s truck and headed to the mall for some grub and to pick new outfits for the party. After we all finished, we headed to my house. Guys love coming over because of my mom’s cooking.
When we entered the house, my mom had already left the table ready for us to eat. It became a routine of ours after practice. Tonight’s dinner is rice, beans, and Pernil. My mom always cooks our favorite foods during the week of our birthdays. We dug in until we couldn’t eat any more. After we finished the guys headed home and I went to take a shower.
Once I was alone in my room, I started thinking about the ginger girl. I don’t know why I started thinking about her. I put a movie on and went to sleep. The next day I got up on time and chose to brush my hair and let my curls hang. I decided to wear black jeans, a green graphic t-shirt, and my timberlands. Jace picked me up today with the guys and we headed to school.
I noticed while walking around that I was looking for her. I don’t understand why I am feeling this way. I shake my head and continue to talk with the guys. When lunch came around, I hoped to see her again. When I arrive at the table, Stacy is sitting there. Stacy is a petit blonde girl that has been trying to get with one of us but has failed miserably. I rolled my eyes when she said “Hi CJ” while waving her fingers.
I waved and sat opposite Stacy. She batts her eyelashes at me, while trying to act cute. I just eat my food and ignore her. I went to take another bite of my pizza when I spotted her again. Ginger girl. I keep calling her ginger girl, but I have no idea who she is. I’ve never seen her before. At that moment, the guys arrive and break me out of my thoughts.
Again, when I look back, she is gone. I never get a full look at her or her face. All I know is her eyes and her hair. When I get back to what’s happening in front of me, Stacy is still there trying to get attention. I decided to finish my food and go for a walk. I decided to walk towards the football field when I spotted her lying in the middle of the field. I approached her slowly trying to think of what to say to her.
As I approached, she sat up and looked my way. I stopped and slightly waved at her. She lifted an eyebrow as she locked her eyes with mine.

Five years ago, a single, desperate mistake changed Freya Myers's life forever. Intending to secure a future with the man of her dreams, she ended up in the wrong room, stealing the 'seed' of the wrong man. That man was Declan Castle—the cold, ruthless, and enigmatic CEO of the world-renowned Castle Group.
Now, Freya has returned to the city as a struggling single mother, hiding a pair of genius twins from the world. When she lands an internship at the Castle Group, she hopes to remain invisible.

He has spent years searching for the woman who 'ruined' him, and now that he has found her, he has no intention of letting her go.
Forced into a high-stakes marriage of convenience with the domineering CEO, Freya must navigate the treacherous waters of high society while desperately guarding her children's true identity. Between a scheming stepmother, jealous socialites, and a series of deadly secrets, the walls are closing in.
What started as a game of cat-and-mouse and a quest for revenge soon ignites into a passion that neither can control. In a world where power is everything and betrayal is a way of life, can Freya protect her heart and her children, or will the relentless Mr. Castle claim everything she’s been trying to hide?
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.
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?

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.

To protect what’s mine
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.
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.
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.
