Chapter 1
Morning Dove hummed softly as she scrubbed her buckskin dress in the river, rubbing the soft fabric against the rock beside her. The sound of children's laughter lingered in the crisp breeze. It was unseasonably mild for December, the men making the most of the weather. They'd left at dawn to hunt and wouldn't be returning until late.
The baby within her kicked sharply as Morning Dove stood, rubbing her lower back.
A son.
Only a son could kick with such ferocity.
Morning Dove smiled, watching her stomach roll beneath her buckskin dress for a long moment. The baby was her miracle after so many miscarriages. Her husband needed an heir and with a long string of deaths after the birth of their daughter, Morning Dove had almost suggested her husband should take another wife - one who could give him the baby he desperately needed.
The timing was never right, or perhaps Morning Dove couldn't bring herself to share her husband - to back out of his life even for the good of the tribe. He was her first love, the two growing up within the same tribe. It was fate that they should one day marry, but a daughter wouldn't be chief and Morning Dove was unable to carry another baby to full term although she tried desperately to give her husband a baby.
Chief Silver Fox never spoke of it or showed disappointment in her. Their sadness over the death of each baby was mutual, but once more they tried again, always with the same results.
Until now.
Eyes shimmering with unshed tears, Morning Dove placed a hand over her protruding womb, singing softly to her miracle baby.
Screams of terror changed everything a moment later as an arrow shot through the air, instantly killing Sly Fox. Frozen in horror, the children watched wide-eyed as the elderly warrior slumped forward, blood gushing from the fatal wound.
"Run!" Gentle Doe screamed a warning to her playmates - a warning that came much too late.
They didn't have to be asked twice as the dreaded Iroquois tribe descended upon their village, killing all the elderly men. The women, however, were spared - at least the young ones.
Morning Dove's scream died in her throat as she watched the massacre from the river's edge. She could run - she should. They weren't focused on the river and Morning Dove could swim, but it wasn't her safety that she had in mind. Morning Dove scrambled up the embankment as fast as her very pregnant body would allow, her eyes scanning the scene of horror before her knowing there was nothing she could do to save those who fell beneath the onslaught of arrows and gleaming tomahawks.
"Gentle Doe!"
The scream caught in her throat as she took off in the direction the children had been playing earlier. Morning Dove needed to save her daughter.
Gentle Doe looked up, meeting her mother's eyes but they were too far away from each other and the warriors were gaining ground.
"Mamma!" Gentle Doe shrieked in terror, watching a painted warrior leap over a boulder, his eyes focused on the chief's wife.
Reaching out her hand to her little girl, Morning Dove couldn't see the jutting rock, her large stomach obstructing her view. Twisting her foot on the roots of a tree, Morning Dove stumbled, her body hurled unceremoniously against the ground.
Within seconds, crimson blood flowed, staining the jagged rock as Morning Dove lay lifeless, her unseeing eyes still focused on her terrified daughter.
All else forgotten, Gentle Doe ran towards her mother, nimbly jumping over rocks and tree roots but before she could reach her mother, strong hands swept Gentle Doe up into the air.
Gentle Doe valiantly fought her tears as she looked down at her mother until she disappeared from sight, the warrior carrying the child off to an unknown future.
A chief's daughter doesn't cry.
Gentle Doe was no longer a chief's daughter but a captive.
Black Crow stood above the corpse of the woman lying in a crumpled heap, her head wound fatal. It was not her beauty that caught Black Crow's attention, but the baby still moving within her. Morning Dove was large, like a ripe melon. If he moved quickly, the baby might have a chance of survival. The child would never know...
Reaching for his knife, the grieving father hesitated only a moment before making his first incision, Black Crow's thoughts on his bride's reaction when he placed a live baby in her empty arms. Silver Birch would raise this one as her own - their miracle baby.
Within moments, Black Crow stood, wrapping the crying infant in his furs. The baby was perfect. Love shone in Black Crow's eyes as he turned away from the dead mother, not caring when he saw her scalped from the corner of his eye. The unfortunate woman would feel no pain and scalps were valuable. It wasn't his business anyway. Black Crow cared only for the child in his arms - his son.
At that moment, all was right with the world.
Not far ahead, Chief White Scar loosened his grip on the child as tears dampened his neck. He wasn't heartless after all. The little girl would be the answer to his wife's prayers and heal her broken heart. It was simply the way things were.

The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."
The first of her kind
And if I don’t unite the warring factions by my twenty-fifth birthday, the prophecy will kill me. I have exactly three months left to live.
Love was never option. Survival was the only plan.
Until they showed up.
Nelson: The brutal, dominant Supreme Alpha who demands my absolute submission, waking a wolf inside me that I’ve suppressed for twelve years.
Jay: The ruthless, lethal Vampire Heir who craves my blood, feeding the dark, feral hunger I never wanted to admit.
They are sworn enemies, born to tear each other apart. But fate has a twisted sense of humor—because they are both my fated mates.
If they find out what I truly am, they’ll destroy me. But as the bond tightens and my time runs out, I’m caught between the Alpha who wants to protect my soul, and the Vampire who wants to rule my darkness.
I was born to bring peace. But loving them might just start the bloodiest war history has ever seen.
Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."

My boyfriend skipped our anniversary for her—the girl who called me a whore.
He left me walking home in the dark. When my apartment caught fire, he ignored my calls.

Dangerous Love with the Mafia
Driven out by her adoptive mother and sexually harassed by her boss, she stumbles into a seedy bar, desperate to drown her sorrows. There she meets Alex: sharp, devastatingly handsome, and impossibly charming.
What starts as a wild one-night stand blossoms into a tender, almost surreal romance—art galleries, riverside walks, and whispered promises that feel too perfect to be real. But when Alex vanishes without a word after a morning of gentle intimacy, Sarah is left with a hollow ache and a creeping doubt.
Their encounter was no accident. Behind Alex's blue eyes and skilled touch lies a darkness far deeper than she ever imagined—and the love that burned so bright may come with a price that could destroy her.
