-POV Igor Durand
I'm Igor Durand, and I'm a billionaire CEO, with several companies around the world, I've lived in Canada since I was 20, so when my mother passed away I moved here...
My mother had heart problems and we didn't know it, because she hid it from everyone. I don't have many memories of my father, he died of cancer when I was 6 years old...
I only had one sister, Alexandra, who passed away along with my brother-in-law more than 3 years ago in a plane crash...
And my niece Kiara, who has lived with me since her parents' death, became my only family.
I became a hitman when I was 18 years old, the father of a long-time friend trained me and made me one of the best assassins in the world, I have killed thousands of people.
Kiara has always been interested in weapons and fighting since she was young, when she turned 22 she asked me to train her and make her the greatest assassin for hire just like me, my sister wasn't happy with this idea, but she didn't interfere with it. The daughter's decision...
So I trained her and taught her everything I knew, making her the greatest hired assassin, one of the most feared in the world...
And so I ended my career with this type of work, leaving her in charge.
I got married at 29, and after almost 6 years of marriage, I discovered that the unfortunate woman was cheating on me...
When Kiara found out about this, she became very angry then killed her.
Since then, I never got married or fell in love with any other woman, I just went out sometimes to have sex with some women, but only for fun, nothing involving feelings.

I leave the gym all sweaty and go to my room to take a shower and get ready to go to the company...
I go to the gym every day to stay in shape, as well as having a healthy and balanced diet.
I enter the bathroom and take off all my clothes, enter the shower, then turn on the shower and close my eyes, feeling the water fall over my head, my body relaxes with the contact of the water on my skin...
(...)
I park my car in my company's garage and get out of the vehicle, adjusting my suit, lock the car, and enter the building, I end up attracting several looks from my employees.
I ignore the looks and enter the private elevator, press the button indicating my floor, and wait, minutes later the elevator dings and opens the doors, I see my assistant working and concentrating on the computer.
“Good morning Mr. Durand,” Charlotte says professionally greeting me.
"Good morning! Bring my diary to my office now” I say dryly
I walk towards my room and close the door then, I take off my dark blue suit leave it on the back of the chair, and sit down...
I turned on the computer and saw that there were some document folders on the table.
A few minutes pass and I hear her knocking on the door, I just say “Come in” and my assistant immediately walks past the door, closing it as she enters, and approaches my table with the tablet in hand.
“License, you have to sign these supplier documents, and this blue folder” she points to the folder “has the entire project reviewed and with some ideas that you can use if you please.” She pauses and looks at the tablet in her hand “Ah, you have a meeting with the company’s economic management at 9 am.”
“Great, prepare the meeting room and bring me a bitter coffee” I order seriously, turning my attention to the computer.
“How about we go out tonight, friend? A new club is opening and I heard it will be packed, there will be a lot of hot girls” my friend Oliver says taking a sip of whiskey
Oliver has been my friend for many years, he is the vice president of my company, and he is like family...
“Not today Oliver, and I’m too tired to go to a party” I relax my back in my chair
“Come on Igor, stop being old, you always refuse my invitations to go out to parties” he sighs frustrated “You need to have fun...”
“So much drama Oliver” I roll my eyes, giving up “Okay, maybe it’s good to go out for a bit and clear your head...”
“That’s it man, fine,” he says, getting up from the chair excitedly “I’ll send you the address later...”
I nod my head in agreement and he leaves the office, closing the door then, I take a deep breath, running my hand through my hair, messing it up...
I hear the phone ring and I answer quickly...
“The meeting table is ready sir, the shareholders are already waiting for your presence,” my assistant says through the call
“I’m coming” I respond briefly and hang up.
(...)
I park my car in front of the nightclub where Oliver sent me the address, I'm wearing a white formal T-shirt and black pants...
I lock my car and walk towards the entrance, I look for crazy Oliver among the people, the line is huge...
“Hi, Igor” I hear my friend’s voice and I turn back, “I thought you weren’t going to come...”
“I ended up being a little late” I explain “Do you have VIP tickets?”
“My friend, come on let’s go in,” he says excitedly guiding me towards the door where only VIPs enter “There must be a lot of hot girls there, I need to fuck someone...”
We entered the club and the noisy electronic sound invaded my ears, colorful lights were flashing and several people drinking, dancing, and shouting...
I go straight towards the bar, I need to have a drink to relax, Oliver accompanies me and we sit on the bench waiting for the barman to serve us...
“What do you want, gentlemen?” the bartender asks
“a shot of whiskey on the rocks” I reply and look around seeing people dancing excitedly
“I’ll have a vodka,” my friend says to the bartender “My God, friend, look at that hot redhead looking at us with malice, now I’m going to make out with her” he looks towards a redhead wearing a low-cut and short mini dress
“good luck” I respond in disbelief, turning to grab the drink the bartender served me
(...)
I was there a little away sipping my drink, just watching people having fun, I haven't hooked up with any women yet, I haven't found one that caught my attention...
“Oh my God” I hear a sweet voice and a small body bump into mine, I grab her waist instinctively before she falls “I’m sorry...”
“It's okay, miss,” I say in a hoarse voice and take a closer look at her face
Holy shit, what beautiful woman is that?

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."

Some fires don't just burn. They consume.

She believed finding her fated mate would finally change everything.
Until Kael rejected her publicly and chose another.

Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
Omega Bound
Thane Knight is the alpha of the Midnight Pack of the La Plata Mountain Range, the largest wolf shifter pack in the world. He is an alpha by day and hunts the shifter trafficking ring with his group of mercenaries by night. His hunt for vengeance leads to one raid that changes his life.

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
Chosen By The Lycan King
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.
When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
