NOVA
I checked the time on the wall clock, heaving in disappointment. Why wasn't he back home? It was late enough. Sighing, I got up from the sofa, and paced the floor, occasionally twirling my lustrous blonde hair. I was unable to contain my excitement despite the disappointment. Today happened to be our second wedding anniversary, and I have wonderful news for my husband. One I couldn't wait to share with him.
I had just sat down on a loveseat when I heard his car drive into the property.
The sound of the door opening caused me to rise. Despite my anger at him returning late, I placed a smile on my face. At least he remembered to return home to me.
Dashiell staggered into the sitting room and tossed his suitcase on the floor. His jacket was nowhere to be found, and his shirt was unbuttoned, almost to the fifth one.
He looked towards me, his emerald eyes burning with a ferocity I knew too much. He was drunk.
“Welcome back,” I said with a forced smile as I walked towards him. Dashiell was a handsome man. Hell, he was named the most handsome man in the country of all time. His emerald eyes and beautiful raven-black hair made him exceptional. That was one thing I admired about him. Especially his hair. I loved how soft they were to run my fingers through. Though I only did that whenever he was asleep — I sneaked up on him when he was sleeping in the parlour.
“Bitch,” he spat, as he closed the distance between us. His eyes were narrowed.
I ignored his remark as I stepped forward. “I have something —”
A yelp left my throat when he yanked me towards him, with his hand wrapped tightly around my wrist.
I gulped in fear as my heart pounded in my chest. I lost all coherency as he lifted me. Without him saying a word, I knew what he wanted. This wasn't the first time.
He hoisted me up the stairs, to my room, and tossed me on the bed. I bounced on it, almost falling to the ground.
“Dashiell,” I called his name, gulping as I watched him shed his clothes. “I have something I need to tell you.”
“But I don't fucking wish to hear any of them!” Growling, he got on the bed. “You will be the docile wife you are supposed to be, and open your damned legs for me, won't you?”
He wasn't asking. We have been here countless times. He never needed to ask my permission before doing something like that.
I gulped. I wanted to refuse, to tell him I wasn't in the mood, but I didn't. Swallowing, I laid back on the bed, letting him know he could do whatever he wished. If this made him happy, then so be it.
He didn't wait anymore as he ripped the gown. I bit back the tears that threatened to fall as the dress I saved for was destroyed like it was nothing. My panties were the next he tore.
“Look at me, Nova,” he growled out.
Sniffing, I forced my eyes to return to him as he raised my legs and placed them on his shoulders. I tried not to wince when he forcefully entered, telling myself this was for his pleasure.
My family ingrained it in my memory ever since I was a kid. I had no say in this. I was just a woman. A toy for a man. His pleasure was all that mattered.
Dashiell was rougher tonight. I could feel his anger. He didn't hold back, and I paid dearly for it.
Tears streamed down my eyes as I begged him to slow down. But he didn't hear that. He was far gone in whatever he was battling with, to pay me any need.
And all I could do was to lie there and receive it all, telling myself it was for his happiness.
After all, I had nowhere to go. He was my husband, and I was his wife. My duty was to him. Whatever he wanted, I would give him. As long as it was within my power to do so.
“Fuck!” He groaned as he climaxed, shooting his load into me.
Gasping, he slid his dick out of my pussy without waiting for me to finish. It wasn't the first time, though. Hell, I never got to attain any satisfaction from this aside from the first time we slept together a year ago.
Groaning, he pulled up from the bed and started dressing, not sparing a glance at me. It was obvious he was done with me. Leaving was the next thing. After all, we never slept in the same bed. He always fucked me in my room, and after that, he would return to his. That was how it had always been.
Wincing, I sat up on the bed and covered my body with the blanket as I watched.
“Dashiell, there's something I need to tell you,” I whispered. My voice was sore from all the screaming I did, which was why I tried to speak as softly as I could, knowing I might hurt it more should I speak normally.
He turned to look at me. Scowling as if we had a feud with each other.
Glaring, he picked up his shirt and left the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
Gulping, I stared, too stunned to react.
I was barely wrapping my head around what had just happened when the door opened once more and he stepped in.
My face broke out into a smile as I watched him approach the bed, believing he had returned so he could hear what I had to say, only for the smile to vanish when he tossed a paper on the bed.
Puzzled, I reached for it, gasping when I saw what it was. A freaking divorce paper. Shocked, I glanced up at him, wondering what was happening. "Why... What's..."
“Sign that before I come back from work tomorrow.” His tone was detached. Cold as ever. I was used to it. But at the moment, it felt like my heart was about to give out.
“Why?” I could only manage that word before I broke down completely.
“I don't owe you an explanation, Nova. Sign the fucking papers before I return tomorrow.” With those heartless words he said, he left my room, slamming the door shut behind him.

CHASING GHOSTS
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.
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.
Luna On The Run- I stole The Alpha's Sons

But Axton does not take rejection lightly, and his retaliation is brutal: a leaked video, a ruined reputation, and a family that turns their backs on her drive her to flee the city in disgrace.
But when Elena disappears, she takes something Alpha Axton never planned to lose - his sons. Now, he'll stop at nothing to get them back. He wants his heirs, he wants his mate, and Elena will learn that no one runs from the Alpha.
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.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.

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?

3/ Rags and Ritches-
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.
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.
