Introduction
Literally.
Six years ago, Draco—the Black Dragon Lord—was dying on the battlefield, enemy claws buried in his chest. So I tore myself open and shoved half my witch's heart into his body to save his life.
After that, I lived with constant pain, my magic drained to nothing. I fought his wars, nearly died a dozen times, all while waiting for him to keep his promise—that he'd make me his queen after the coronation.
But on coronation day, Draco brought back the half-elf Ivy and told me to give up my crown.
Why? Ivy stayed with him in the Abyss for three years. And now she was pregnant with his child.
It destroyed me. So I drank the Oblivion Potion—the one thing that could strip away every ounce of love I had for him.
And in three days, I'm leaving for the polar regions to marry into the Silver Wolf Clan.

Chapter 1
Selina's POV
I ripped out half my heart for him.
Literally.
Six years ago, Draco—the Black Dragon Lord—was dying on the battlefield, enemy claws buried in his chest. So I tore myself open and shoved half my witch's heart into his body to save his life.
After that, I lived with constant pain, my magic drained to nothing. I fought his wars, nearly died a dozen times, all while waiting for him to keep his promise—that he'd make me his queen after the coronation.
But on coronation day, Draco brought back the half-elf Ivy and told me to give up my crown.
Why? Ivy stayed with him in the Abyss for three years. And now she was pregnant with his child.
It destroyed me. So I drank the Oblivion Potion—the one thing that could strip away every ounce of love I had for him.
And in three days, I'm leaving for the polar regions to marry into the Silver Wolf Clan.
"Selina, you really don't love Draco anymore? And you're actually going through with this marriage?"
Maya stood behind me, voice cracking with worry.
I shoved my robe into the trunk, not looking up. "Stop mentioning him. I feel NOTHING for that man."
"But you gave him EVERYTHING!" Maya's voice shot up. "Half your witch's heart! That's the most precious power source we have!"
Maya wouldn't drop it. She conjured a magical mirror, trying to shove my sacrifice in my face.
The image showed the Abyss battlefield six years ago—me, drenched in blood, cutting myself open with a silver blade and placing my still-beating half-heart into Draco's dying body.
I stared at that girl in the mirror and felt like an idiot.
Maya kept going. "And these six years—the wars you fought for him! Every battle, you were on the front lines taking hits meant for him. Every negotiation, you burned through your magic to get him what he wanted. Every single time..."
"ENOUGH." I cut her off, suddenly pissed.
Yeah, I remembered it all.
But without feelings for Draco, those memories felt like someone else's life. They just made me feel stupid and annoyed.
"Maya, it's over." I kept packing. "I just want to leave."
Maya took a breath and switched tactics. "Even if you're over him, you can't rush into this marriage!"
"It doesn't matter who I marry!"
Maya looked panicked. "Selina, do you know ANYTHING about Count Carl? He's the most ruthless wolf king in the polar regions! They say he personally TORE APART three fiancées! That kind of man—"
The door slammed open.
What man?"
Draco's cold voice cut through the room.
He walked in with Ivy tucked under his arm, those dark gold eyes—the ones I used to love—now filled with irritation.
Ivy immediately poked his chest playfully. "Oh darling, they're just discussing the manpower needed for tomorrow's coronation party~ As your partner, Selina and I both need to coordinate the arrangements."
She tilted her head at me, smiling. "Right, Selina?"
I sneered. "You're his partner. Not me."
Draco's expression darkened instantly.
"Selina, Ivy's being generous enough. You'll SHARE the queen's position. What more do you want?"
He scoffed. "Tomorrow's celebration—you'll attend and stop acting like a child."
Maya was shaking with rage. She opened her mouth to tell him about the Oblivion Potion, but Ivy cut in.
"Oh wow, that necklace is gorgeous~"
Ivy moved closer, eyeing the moonstone around my neck. "I heard moonstone helps with sleep."
She pressed against Draco's shoulder. "I've been having awful insomnia from the pregnancy. I wish I had something like that..."
I looked down at the necklace.
Draco had retrieved this moonstone from the Northern Ice Abyss for my eighteenth birthday. He'd spent a month carving it before giving it to me.
"Give Ivy the necklace." Draco's command came without hesitation.
A harsh laugh escaped me. This bastard thought he could just order me around.
"No."
His face went dark. He strode over and reached for it.
I dodged on instinct, magic flaring purple around me.
Then Ivy shrieked and collapsed. She'd "accidentally" stumbled into my magic ripple, clutching her stomach and moaning.
"My baby... Draco, the baby..."
"IVY!" Draco's face went white.
The next second, crushing dragon aura slammed into me.
"BOOM!"
I flew backward and crashed into the wall. Blood filled my mouth.
Maya screamed and ran to me, pointing at Ivy. "She's FAKING! The magic didn't even touch her!"
"SHUT UP!" Dark gold flames blazed in Draco's eyes.
He crossed the room and slapped me across the face.
Hard.
"CRACK!"
My head snapped to the side. Blood dripped from my lip.
My ears rang. Half my face was on fire.
"Selina, control your witch." Draco's voice was ice. "Touch Ivy or my child again, and your ENTIRE clan pays."
I wiped the blood away. "Don't worry. I'll stay far away from both of you."
"You DARE mouth off!" He grabbed my necklace and ripped it off my neck, hurling it into the fireplace.
Then he scooped up Ivy and left without a backward glance.
I watched the moonstone melt in the flames, dissolving into sparks of light.
Good. We're even now.
Maya helped me up, barely holding back tears. "I'm so sorry, Selina... I shouldn't have said anything..."
I shook my head. "Not your fault."
My body hurt, but my heart felt strangely calm.
Maya cried harder. "Damn dragons! You have to leave him, Selina! One day he'll regret this!"
I leaned against her, staring at the ashes in the fireplace.
Regret?
Why should I care?
The Oblivion Potion had worked. Every bit of love I had for Draco was gone.
"Three more days." I closed my eyes. "Three days and I'm out of here."
And I'm never coming back.

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 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?

Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

Until he leaves her the next morning—

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.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
