Introduction
“And if I win?”
“You won't.”
Evander built his life on control. As an omega in hiding, attending an alpha-only university, one slip could destroy him. So he follows the rules, takes his inhibitors and keeps his distance.
Until the night everything falls apart. Caught at his weakest by his greatest rival, Evander expects exposure. Instead, Dimitri offers him a deal. One that turns into a cage the moment Evander loses.
Now bound to the very person he despises, Evander is forced into a life he never wanted… One where every boundary is tested, every secret feels fragile, and every moment with Dimitri becomes more complicated than it should be.
Because beneath the rivalry, beneath the control, something dangerous begins to grow. Something neither of them planned. But when the consequences of their choices threaten to destroy everything Evander has fought for, he’s forced to face the truth:
The person who has the power to ruin him… is also the only one keeping him safe.
Chapter 1
Evander's POV
I had a secret. One that could not only get me expelled but also put me in danger. But I was good at keeping secrets and no one found out the truth about who I was for a long time. Until…
Tonight…
I had just run out of my inhibitors and my heat was fast approaching. For an omega who pretended to be an alpha just so I could get into the top school for alphas only in the pack, I had to keep my scent hidden.
But my pheromones were out of control and it was too late to go out to get more inhibitors. So I hid in the locker room, unable to return to my room because it would be easy for other alphas to catch my scent and find out the truth.
I didn't expect that anyone would show up at the locker room, and not just anyone, it had to be the asshole that I hated the most with every claw on my hands.
“I have to admit, Evander, you're a cunning little thing.” Dimitri said, locking the door shut behind him and I backed away from him.
“Get out, Dimitri. Stay away from me.” I spat, trying to act as tough as I used to but he scoffed, closing the distance between us.
“I always knew there was something bratty about you. Trying to act tough won't help you now, I know what you are.” He whispered, cornering me and I let out a shaky breath.
“I'm not—”
“What's an omega doing in a school for alphas only?” He growled, slamming his hand over my hand by the wall and I flinched. “Are you insane? Are you fucking stupid? Do you know what would happen to you if others found you?”
“What's your problem with it?” I questioned defiantly and he scoffed. “I can do whatever I want. You don't get a say just because you caught me—”
“I've always thought you were stupid. But this is a whole different level of foolishness!” He spat and in fury, I pushed him off me.
“And what's it to you, asshole?” I questioned in anger as I stepped toward him and he stepped backwards. “I'm stupid? Foolish? So what? You have no right to judge me. You're rich. You get everything you want on a gold platter!”
“Why are you making this about me?” He asked in frustration and I scoffed in disbelief.
“Do you think I want to be here too? To hang around losers like you? Bullies and stupid spoilt brats like you make me fucking mad, and you think I want to lie about who I am? I get a scholarship to attend the top school in the whole pack only if I'm an alpha and you think I'm supposed to turn down the offer?” I said in exasperation and he froze for a minute, staring at me like he had never seen me before.
“No wonder you've always ignored questions about your background.” Dimitri finally replied with a smirk. “And you smell quite delicious, I wouldn't lie—”
“Get out, Dimitri.”
“Mhm… Just like that? When I now know your secret?” He paused, his lips curving even more and I froze. “That's not how this shit works, is it?”
“I swear to the goddess, if you tell anyone—”
“What? You're gonna hit me? What can a mere omega do to an alpha like me?” He asked, his tone mocking and my hands clenched into fists.
“What gives you the right to think you're stronger than me just because you're an alpha? You—” My words caught in my throat when he was suddenly in front of me and the next second, I was pinned to the wall.
His pheromones suddenly filled the room, enveloping my nostrils and as much as it felt like I was being choked, it calmed me more than I wanted to admit.
“You wanna fight back? Go ahead.” He whispered and I gulped. “You were born to be submissive. And you know despite your quirky lips, you will submit to me when I ask you to. Isn't that right, Evander?”
“Fuck. Off.” I spat and he sneered, his hands still pinning mine above my head. “If I'm gonna be submissive to anyone, it would never be you. You're a fucked up psycho.”
“Really?” He asked in amusement. “I see the way you look at me—”
“Are you serious? I hate you with everything in me. And I hate you even more now.”
“Why? Because I'm better than you? More handsome? More popular? Or because you want me and can't tell me?” He questioned, his face inches from mine and even though I boiled with anger, my eyes couldn't help but drop to his lips.
“Let go of me. You have no idea that being so close to me will make you smell like me, right?” I asked but he simply shrugged like it was nothing.
“And you will smell like me. I'm helping you here, you ungrateful omega.”
“Don't call me that!” I spat in anger, wanting to punch that smirk off his face but he was holding my hands tightly.
“Your pheromones have been regulated thanks to mine. Shouldn't you be grateful?” He questioned and I paused, sniffing the air and I realized he was right.
“I didn't ask for your help. So why should I be grateful?” I questioned, tilting my head just slightly and he scoffed, his breath hitting my face.
“You know… one little slip up from me will ruin your life.”
“You wouldn't dare.”
“Daring me? How bold. I could easily tell everyone what you really are. And you know what will happen.” He whispered and I froze. “You'll be off the basketball team, you'll be expelled, and who knows what the other alphas will do to you. I can't even guarantee your safety. Do you want to risk that?”
He wasn't kidding and I knew that. His brows were raised at me and he looked at me like I was his prey, making me look so small compared to him.
I had feared this happening but not with him.
“What do you want?” I asked, trying to be strong but my voice came out shakily and he smiled in victory.
“Let's make a deal.” He muttered as I raised a brow. “Tomorrow's game. I am going to win. And when I win, you will do everything I want. Every single thing I ask of you. You disobey, I tell the school your secret.” He offered, finally letting go of me and I flexed my wrists gently.
“And if I win?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.
“You won't.” He replied confidently and I scoffed.
“If I do?” I asked again and he placed his hand on his chin, thinking for a moment.
“If you win, I'll keep your secret. No one will ever find out from me. And I'll do whatever you want.” He replied and I thought about his offer, realizing it was actually a good deal.
All I had to do was win.
“When I win, you will stay away from me and forget that tonight ever happened.” I repeated and he stepped closer to me, his eyes twinkling as he extended his hand.
“Not gonna happen. But deal.” He whispered and I took his hand, giving it a firm shake before letting go.
“Can't wait for you to be my little omega slave, Evander.” He muttered and before I could respond, he was out of the locker room.
Letting myself get caught was a mistake. But making a deal with Dimitri was the worst mistake of my life.

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.
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.
The Spy Who Left
"I still can't believe she actually did it. Aria Hart, filing for divorce. Who saw that coming?"
"How long do we think it'll take before she comes crawling back?" Another voice joins the conversation.
"Three days," Victoria declares. "Five at most. She has no money, no skills, no family. Where's she going to go?"
When Aria Chen divorced billionaire Leon Hart, New York's elite sneered, betting she'd crawl back within days. She never did.
Three years later, the world is rocked when Dr. Aria Vale, CEO of a revolutionary cybersecurity empire, steps into the spotlight. The mysterious genius who built a billion-dollar company from nothing is none other than Leon's discarded wife, the woman everyone thought was just a pretty ornament.
Now, every powerful man wants the queen Leon threw away a renowned scientist seeking partnership, a financial titan proposing an empire, and an actor offering devotion. Each sees the brilliance Leon ignored.
Then Leon discovers the truth: Aria's sacrifices, her secret double life, and the daughter she's been raising without him. For the first time, the man who once took her for granted must fight for her love. But can he compete with men who valued her from the beginning?
A story of love, betrayal, and power where the king must kneel before the queen who never needed saving.
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.
The Sentinel's Conduit
In a world already on its knees, vampires in the streets, daylight a memory, the human race running out of places to hide. You would think a man of God would know better than to make a deal with the devil. Or, in our case, the Vampire Lord.
He didn't.
And I paid for it.
The part I can't quite make peace with is what came after. Because dying wasn't the end of it. Someone pulled me back, one of the five men they call Sentinels, blessed with something older than the war itself. and now I'm supposed to be grateful. They tell me I've been given a second chance. What they don't tell me is that the second chance comes with a war, a calling I didn't ask for, and five men I'm not sure I'm ready to trust.
Especially him. The one in charge. The one they call Elion.
He is not what I expected. Nothing about this is.
I have exactly two questions and no good answers: am I supposed to feel this way about a man whose job is to protect me? And if he's as dangerous as everything in me already knows he is. Would I be safer keeping him at arm's length?
I'm starting to think that was never really an option.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father

But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
