Introduction
Chapter 1
A hooded figure walked the hallways of the prestigious Rosevale high, frantically searching for her class.
Oh no! Not again she muttered her forehead creasing. A ripple of gasps swept through the hallway. The sound of feet pounding the floors of the hallway could be heard from a mile away, phones flew into the air and voices rose like crashing waves. A crowd of excited students pushed past each other, stretching out their necks, screaming a name, desperate for a glimpse.
Another popular student has arrived, with a lot of crowd this time. It seemed he was the most popular of them all.
Squeezing through past the sea of bodies,then heading down the hallway, she finally found her designated classroom.
She pushed the door open after two nervous breathes and stepped in anxiously.
It was a well known fact that students at Rosevale high were spoilt, rude brats but she didn't expect them to misbehave in the presence of the teacher.
Some were taking selfies, going live, gaming and applying makeup, totally ignoring the presence of the teacher.
Adjusting her hoodie, she moved away from the doorway letting it close, it's sound drawing every attention to her.
She moved to the teacher with shaky knees wondering why the stares were getting to her.
You have a new classmate the teacher said before turning to her. Introduce yourself my dear.
“ Hi everyone, I'm Akira D. Octavio.
Does the D stand for Donovan asked blue haired girl making her classmates scoff and snicker.
That's not possible, it probably stands for a d**k, a Donovan wouldn't be dressed like this low-life a cute looking boy said while sizing her up.
That's enough! Stop being mean to your new class mate and welcome her with open arms.
Maybe you should welcome her with open arms yourself, you too belong to the same class anyway, and stop telling us what to do a blonde girl rudely retorted.
The teacher obviously used to treatments like this did nothing or said nothing other than asked Akira to find a seat.
She found the closest seat to the window sat down and began taking notes on her PC.
So engrossed in the lesson was she, she didn't notice who walked in or the catcalling from the boys. She also didn't know the person was standing.
Someone tell the low-life secretary to get off the CEO's seat the rude girl said slamming her PC shut with force.
Akira wanted a quiet highschool life but she wasn't going to tolerate bullying of any kind.
Careful there, you won't want to break something thrice the amount of your fake hair blonde, she retorted holding the gaze of the other girl fearlessly.
The girl was taken aback, she didn't expect her to talk back at her.
How dare you talk back at me, don't think you're worth it just because you were lucky enough to be admitted here on scholarship, you're just worthless trash who's contaminating the air in this school.
Then find another seat, don't tell me you want to share the same seat with this filthy trash?.
You're not getting away with this, said the girl before walking away in defeat.
Before we proceed let's do a little introduction of Rosevale high.
Rosevale high is a school for the wealthy, with state of the art facilities and world class teachers. It was the best school in the country,a school only the wealthy could afford.
The students who attended were rich and popular, some of them celebrities and children of celebrities like the children in Akira's class.
It was time for lunch after two more lessons. Akira picked up her back pack and left the classroom and was heading to the cafeteria when she collided against a dark haired girl knocking down her books.
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, Akira apologized while helping the girl pick up the scattered books.
It's fine mistakes happened, she responded with a smile surprising Akira.
I'm Violet she said extending a hand to a shocked Akira. Akira shook her hand still feeling puzzled.
Wipe that surprised look off your face, there's still a few good people at this school Akira,and don't be surprised I know your name, you are already popular thanks to your hoodie.
Anyways do you mind walking me to the library to drop this books, then we can go get lunch together, and oh the squad would be so pleased to meet you said violet pulling her with her.
I don't think I have a choice here do I? You're already stringing me along.
The two girls headed to the cafeteria after returning the books at the library.
Ignore them, violet said pulling her towards a group of students seated at the far end of the cafeteria.

HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.

To protect what’s mine
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.
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.

What begins as a business arrangement quickly becomes something far more dangerous.

With a curse threatening Alex's life, enemies closing in from every side, and a forbidden bond growing stronger by the day, Avery must decide whether to walk away from the dangerous Alpha who needs her—or risk everything for a love written by fate itself.
