As Vanessa navigates the treacherous dragon court, she catches the attention of the powerful and conflicted King Cedric, whose inner dragon responds to her in ways that challenge everything he believes about wolves. When jealous rivals attempt to destroy her and her former mate resurfaces, Vanessa must survive deadly palace intrigue while uncovering the truth about her mysterious abilities.
Torn between her growing feelings for the dragon king and the dangerous secrets surrounding her true identity, Vanessa faces an impossible choice: embrace her connection to the dragons and risk everything, or flee back to a world that never wanted her. But some destinies cannot be escaped, and some bonds run deeper than blood.
Chapter 1
|| Vanessa Hudgens's POV ||
" Aaaahhhh!!! It's too painful.. please stop this.. fucking stop...Hmmm...."
The pain was more intolerable than I had imagined. It felt like it was tearing my flesh apart including my heart. The Ravenclawers stopped visiting me after they figured out what was happening every night. In their eyes, I was the most useless, weakest Luna, an omega by nature in the most powerful pack, THE RAVENCLAW PACK.
So, they believed that it was justified for my mate, the Alpha, Vlad Pritchard to go to a woman's bed every single day. Each time, he had sex with other women, I had to go through this mate-bonding pain.
I whimpered on the floor in pain, crying pathetically but not a single soul bothered to visit me. After the endless torture ended and lasted for an hour, I finally regained consciousness. Using leftover energy, I got up slowly and dragged my scarred body in front of the mirror.
I almost couldn't recognize my vision in the mirror. This year 18, I should bloom like a lotus but here, I have scars all over my body. I didn't know the last time was that I brushed my light red hair. The curls made it worse and it looked like a bird's nest. My round deep brown eyes were looking empty and vacant more like a corpse. Since I was a child, I was called a princess for my fair white skin with long beautiful hair. But in reality, I was just a weak omega without any name or merits. Even after mating with the Alpha, I was the same useless girl. Maybe I shouldn't have prayed to find my soulmate.
For everyone..it was a dream...
For me..it was a nightmare...
A low incoherent voice began to echo from the entrance. My wolf sparked up a little, sending me hope that our mate was back. She was always excited for Vlad but I felt nothing about the man who never regarded me as his mate.
I still went outside to meet him. I had been trying to speak to him for the past few days but he was never willing. I had to tell him before he figured out on his own, a certain change about my body.
" Alpha..."
I called him weakly, secretly gulping as he was full of mess. Vlad was always looking very scary with his dark tattoos and bald head. Not to mention, he was drunk now, and his face was full of rage. He didn't even put on any shirt after his intercourse.
Vlad's raged eyes shot up to glare at me, barking as he forwarded for his room,
" What.. what do you want.. from me...now...Gosh...I get to see..your face..as soon...as I come... bitch.."
Even though we were mates, he never let me stay in his room. I was practically a whore to his eyes whom he used whenever he wanted. My lips parted shakily, finding it difficult to ignore his undone zipper,
" Actually...I missed me..."
" WAIT!!", he cut me off with a growl, his eyelids battling to stay open. He was looking down at my body deeply which made me cringe internally. He never appreciated my body and called it thin and disgusting. As I was only eighteen years old, I wasn't that chubby according to my growth. Vlad always liked mature and old women which I wasn't certain about.
He stumbled over me and bent down slightly to clutch the diamond pendant around my neck. Then he asserted his words coldly in his Alpha tone, leaving no choice to refute,
" Tomorrow..you..will give it..to Diana...She.. likes..it.."
I felt a sharp arrow, piercing through my heart. It was our wedding gift from his elders but he..he had to take it off as well. My wolf was enraged. I always kept her in control but the power was slipping out suddenly. I blurted out in haste before I could stop my wolf,
" So..you want to give it to that whore sister, Diana?"
I cursed myself multiple times but it was too late to regret it. Diana was Diego's step-sister whom he had been sleeping with for a few years. The whole pack knew it and they seemed okay with that as their Luna was just an omega, adopted by a poor pair of omegas in their pack. After Vlad's mother died, his father married Diana's mother whose husband was murdered, and had Diana only.
Who would be thinking that a sister would be so scheming and malicious? Because that's what she had been doing ever since I became Vlad's mate on my eighteenth birthday. Diana wanted everything that belonged to me.
Vlad's eyes snapped open to turn deep brown, defining that his wolf was in control. He let out a growl, stomping forward to grip my hair in his fist,
" Bitch.. what did you call her? It's you..a whore..You weak Omega slut..Do you think that you deserve to be my Luna? If it wasn't for the bond...I would have killed you long back...How dare you talk back to me.."
I felt as though my skull was burning in pain. Vlad's wolf was powerful and was using all his strength to grab my head. My wolf became impatient inside, urging me to give her control.
Seriously.. did she want to die? An Omega against an Alpha? Did she think that I would be able to survive in this fight?
It wasn't the first time that my wolf was acting so restless and impatient. I was never trained or learned how to fight like a warrior. Nor did I have great strength or special powers like Diana who could use her eyes to hypnotize the opponent's wolves. But every time, a fight occurred, my wolf was always pushing me to fight. I had to waste all my energy to shut her down so that her actions wouldn't lead me to deep trouble. She hated me for this but trust me, I was doing it for our well-being.
Vlad gripped my hair with more force, pushing me to the walls to bang my head against it. But suddenly hasty, running footsteps came from the stairs with multiple voices,
" Alpha...Alpha...we have to get out of the pack house.. right away..."
Vlad let me go suddenly, his voice sounding hoarse,
" Why..wh.. what..the fuck.. happened..."
His beta and petrol guards were all panting, appearing scared. His beta answered, taking a mouthful of air,
" The Dragon... the dragon king...they..they are hunting our pack members...They want our territory possibly.."
Vlad growled, fighting hard to stay sober despite his heavily drunken state,
" How..how can this happen...we were okay..even two months..the king had a chat.. with me..in the inn..."
His beta face turned grim before replying in a serious voice,
" The former king is dead. He..he is killed and his son has taken over the throne. His son has killed him. The new king is cruel, a killer.."
Vlad growled again, sharpening his gaze in disbelief,
" So..fast..who took the throne? His sons were on my side..how could..this happen...Why are they attacking us?"
His beta broke into a cold sweat. At the same time, I heard screams, coming out of the pack house. I couldn't understand why there was an attack. I hated wars and blood. As far as I remember, no attack happened during the past decade. Then why did the dragons attack the werewolves all of a sudden? Did Vlad do something wrong to them?

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.
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?
Werewolf's Heartsong
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.

Matthew's only shot at freedom is helping the police bring down Mr. K, the elusive mafia boss of the city. The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.

The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.

Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
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.
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.
