Introduction
In a single devastating evening, he lost it all. His promising career, his hard-earned place at a top-tier university, and the woman he planned to marry. Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, brutally beaten by those he once trusted, and cast aside like trash, Damien Vale stood on the crumbling edge of an abandoned overpass, ready to let the darkness claim him.
Until a crimson interface ignited in the air before him:
[Rebate System Activated]
Every connection he forges, every calculated risk he takes, and every ounce of influence he invests in the right people will return a hundredfold — in power, wealth, secrets, and absolute control.
From the lowest pit of betrayal and ruin, Damien is about to rewrite his destiny. What was taken from him will be returned ten times over. Those who destroyed him will watch everything they cherish crumble. Armed with an unstoppable system and a merciless new mindset, he will build an empire from the shadows, surround himself with unstoppable allies, and savor every second of his ruthless comeback.
Damien Vale is no longer the man they broke.
He is the storm they never saw coming
Chapter 1
“Please, sir,” Damien said, keeping his voice steady even though his hands were trembling. “Just thirty minutes. I’ll cover two extra shifts tomorrow, no problem.”
Mr. Harlan didn’t even glance up from the tablet. His thick fingers kept stabbing at the screen as new orders poured in. “You’ll finish your shift today, Vale. You’re already on thin ice after last week’s mess.”
Damien clenched his jaw. “The bike broke down mid-delivery. I still got the food there on time.”
Harlan finally looked at him, a nasty smirk spreading across his face. “Customers don’t pay for excuses, kid. They pay for hot food. Your personal problems aren’t my concern.”
A couple of the other workers snickered behind the counter. One of them, a lanky guy with a stained apron, muttered loud enough for everyone to hear, “Vale always has a story ready.”
Damien forced a tight smile. “I have a make-up exam at 4:30. If I miss it, I lose my scholarship.”
Harlan let out a dry laugh. “Maybe you should stop wasting time on that fancy university and focus on actually being useful. Guys like you don’t belong there anyway.”
The words landed like punches Damien had taken his whole life. Guys like you. From foster homes to teachers to strangers — it was always the same line.
The clock on the wall read 3:41 p.m.
Another order ticket printed out. Harlan snatched it and slapped it onto the counter. “Penthouse block. Unit 1703. Deliver this now. After that, you can run off to your little test.”
Damien’s stomach dropped when he saw the name on the ticket.
Victor Kane.
Of course. The arrogant son of a tech mogul who treated everyone beneath him like servants. Victor had used Damien to ghostwrite two of his assignments last semester and still owed him money.
“Get moving,” Harlan grunted. “And don’t come crying tomorrow if you fail. Some people just aren’t built for success.”
Damien bit back the insult burning on his tongue. He couldn’t afford to lose this job. Not when he was already three months behind on rent.
He grabbed the insulated delivery bag. His reflection stared back at him from the stainless steel warmer — tired eyes, messy hair, grease stains on his cheap shirt. He looked exactly like what the world kept telling him he was.
His phone vibrated. A reminder lit up the screen: Elena’s Birthday — 7PM.
Tucked behind the counter was a small, carefully wrapped box. Inside was a limited-edition designer necklace he’d spent months saving for. He had skipped meals and walked across campus for weeks just to afford it. He pictured Elena’s face lighting up when she opened it. Maybe tonight she would finally see how serious he was about their future.
“Damien?”
He looked up. Jax, his roommate and only real friend, stood at the side door, still in his work uniform.
Damien quickly pushed the gift box further out of sight.
Jax’s eyes narrowed. “What’s that?”
“Nothing.”
“Don’t bullshit me.” Jax leaned over and spotted the corner of the wrapping. “You didn’t.”
“It’s just a birthday gift for Elena,” Damien muttered.
Jax stared at him like he’d grown a second head. “You’re still chasing that girl? Bro, you owe me four months’ rent and you’re blowing money on her?”
“I’ll pay you back next week, I swear. I love her, man. She’s worth it.”
Jax shook his head, disgusted. “She treats you like an option. Wake up before you end up on the street because of her.”
Damien didn’t answer. He grabbed the delivery bag and headed out.
The afternoon heat was brutal. His old scooter coughed and rattled the entire ride to the luxury student residences. By the time he reached Unit 1703, sweat was pouring down his back.
Loud music and laughter spilled from behind the door.
He knocked.
“Come in!” a familiar arrogant voice shouted.
Damien pushed the door open.
The smell of expensive liquor and perfume hit him first. Victor Kane was sprawled on a massive couch, shirt unbuttoned, a glass of whiskey in his hand.
And Elena was on his lap — wearing nothing but lingerie Damien had never seen before, laughing as she kissed Victor’s neck.
The world stopped.
The delivery bag slipped slightly in Damien’s grip.
Victor noticed him first and grinned lazily. “Oh, perfect timing. Just put the food on the table, delivery boy. I’m gonna need the energy after what I just did to my girl.”
Elena’s head snapped toward the door. Her laughter died instantly.
“Damien…?” Her voice was barely a whisper.
He stood frozen in the doorway, heart hammering so hard it felt like it would crack his ribs.
“Elena?” His voice came out hoarse, broken.
She opened her mouth, but no words came out. No apology. No explanation.
Victor just chuckled and took another sip of his drink, completely unbothered.

Reborn To Rule: I Will Seize The Throne!
He paused, his gaze never leaving mine.
"And I don't share what's mine."
☆
I died on my son's death anniversary, betrayed by the man I'd devoted my entire life to, and the woman who stood by, smiling as I took my last breath… was my very own sister.
When I opened my eyes again, I was five years in the past—before the betrayal, before my death and before the beginning of it all.
This time, I refused to marry the man who destroyed me.
Instead, I walked straight into the arms of the only man the entire Empire feared—Crown Prince Alpha Rhaedon Ashkaar.
Rhaedon was everything Lucien wasn't.
Dangerous. Competent. Powerful.
And the perfect weapon for my revenge.
He wanted the throne. I wanted vengeance.
It should have been the perfect alliance, but revenge was never that simple.
With every step I took toward my revenge, another secret from my first life came to light. The deeper I dug, the more I realized I wasn't the only one playing this game.
And by the time I uncovered the truth...
Walking away from Rhaedon Ashkaar was no longer an option.

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.

Charlie makes it clear; his sister is off-limits and Blake tries to do the right thing, but secrets don’t stay buried forever. Rogues prowl the edges of town. The ice cracks. The bond tightens.

Where the Ice Gives Way is a slow-burn YA paranormal romance filled with fated mates, protective alpha energy, fierce sibling loyalty, found family pack bonds, hurt/comfort, and quiet, aching tension. It’s a story about first belonging, learning to be cared for, and what happens when the girl who has always held everyone else up finally falls, and someone catches her.
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.
The Dragon's Last Fae Queen
“Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are 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.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
His Lethal Obsession
He didn't respond but moved his eyes around the room, scanning the place.
"Wha...what are you doing here?"
His icy blue eyes returned to me, sending shivers down my spine. Then further dropped to my dress and then back to my eyes.
"The shit going on downstairs, what does it mean?" he asked, making my legs as weak as they are eager to flee.
"It's....it my wedding,"
He scoffed darkly. "Excuse me?"
I swallowed. "I am......getting married,"
He let out a humorless laugh, looking away and giving me lesser comfort. He looked at me with a demonic frown.
Terror washed me.
"Every single motherfucker/human being here, be it adult or child, including you, will burn before that happens,"
