Introduction
Chapter 1
Ambridom: Continent to shifters, Vampires, Mages,Witches, and many more supernatural creatures. A world similiar to ours but greatly different from ours, Lathreal, similiar to Earth but holds so many more secrets. Our adventure together starts now, as Anya readies herself for the day ahead.
I was staring at myself in the mirror as I passed by it. A 17 year old girl with long, auburn hair that wisped around her face stared back at me. Her pale complexion was complemented with sporadic freckles across the bridge of her nose and upper cheeks. Frosty ice blue eyes with silver flecks studying her outfit she had chosen for the day. An oversized, soft, gray hoodie that came to about my mid thigh matched to a pair of black jeggings with silver swirls that danced from ankle to knee. I nodded as I was satisfied with my choices and began slipping on my running shoes, readying myself for the walk to school. Grabbing my school bag that lay beside the door, I began to venture downstairs, towards the kitchen.
" Hello sunshine," Lizara beamed at me. She was my mom's best friend and my godmother. " how did you sleep?"
" Better than the night before." I pouted my lip a bit. The flashbacks of my parents' tragic end flashing tidbits through my mind.
"I am sorry Anya. I miss them dearly everyday too and wish we could change things." she sighed heavily going into thought.
It had been 5 months since their fatal tragedy. They were away for the Alpha's top secret mission, the very mission they were coming back from when they were t-boned by a semi causing them to veer off the road and down the shallow, jagged Howling Cliffs. It wasn't until the next morning when they were found and Lizara had gotten the call to come identify the bodies at the morgue. Leaving behind their only child, Anya. They were smart and had insurance just in case a mission went wrong, that way Anya would always be taken care of and helped her with her future. She would receive it all on her eighteenth birthday, two days from now. The same day that she would graduate and would leave this town to start afresh in a new place to try and escape the pain.
" I know, I just wish I could see mom's smiling face one last time or hear one of dad's corny jokes." I sighed remembering my mother's beautiful smile and the way her baby blue eyes glistened when she looked at me or my dad. Remembering how my parents stared at one another in the most loving and passionate way. I always saw their love radiating from them. A tear streamed my cheek as I smiled remembering them. Lizara stared at me sympathetically, walking around the kitchen island, and wiping the tear from my cheek with her gentle thumb before embracing me in one of her comfort hugs.
"I know kiddo, I know." she said soothingly. " Have you thought of the city you are moving to yet?" she asked, trying to change the subject before I was a sobbing mess on the floor.
"I am looking at possibly Zcythe or at least one of the little towns around it by the sea." I nibbled my lip in thought. Slightly afraid to make eye contact for fear of changing my mind.
" Oh.... that's clear across the continent and Ambridom isn't a small continent." pulling back a little, she worriedly looked at me." However, I will support your decision no matter where you go and I will always have your back." her expression softening and eyes full of love.
" I know but I want to get as far away from the pain, the memories, the questioning stares. The pain from the kids at my school looking at me like I am broken, like the orphan that I am." I held back the urge to sob, my words only wavering for a second. I knew Lizara could feel my emotions pour out of me as I felt her hug tighten.
"Anya I understand. You don't have to explain it to me. Angora brought up a good point, what about Titant? " pulling back enough to look at me. Angora was Lizara's wolf. Something I also had to look forward to at 12:00am on my birthday. The day the bond to my wolf will be awakened and I will go through my first transformation, fully completing the bond to the wolf the moon goddess had bestowed upon me. As I pondered what Angora said my alarm on my phone started to go off. I had 15 minutes to get to school and it was a good 30 minute walk from my house.
" I'll drive you to school!" Lizara beamed as she held up her keys.
" Liz, just so you know, I love you!" I smiled back at her. I said this often because I wanted her to know just in case she too was stolen away from me as my parents had been.
The drive to school was peaceful as I watched out the window the passing woods and occasional house. Lizara's music playing softly in the background as I ponder Titant for my move. It was a bigger town than Lilop, but was nowhere near as big as Zcythe. Depending on the house I settled for, it was only a 45 minute drive away from Zcythe. Titant being a port town I would have the ocean to go to when I pleased.
" We're here." Lizara stated as she nudged my arm, snapping back to reality.
"Thanks Liz! You are a lifesaver!" I smiled as I hopped out of the car. Walking as fast as possible to the double doors of the school.
As I made it to my locker the first warning bell sounded. I had 5 minutes to get across the school to my first period. I hurriedly crammed my belongings in and rushed down the hall. Halfway there the second warning bell chimed letting me know I had 3 minutes until I was marked late. Not once this year have I been late and plan to keep that record going for the last two days of school. I took off down the stairs and bolted to my class. Making it a few seconds before the final bell.
“Anya what are you doing here?” Mrs. Glitz questioned, looking up from her book confusedly. “Seniors get the last two days off to prepare for their graduation ceremony, parties, and to get things in order.”
"I did not know that and I am so sorry to intrude." I stated, just as confused as she was.
" Go home Anya, you have had a rough year and deserve to take a break. You have excelled in everything given to you even after what had happened." she sadly stared at me knowing there was no ceremony nor party planning. However it gave me time to pack what little I had and begin searching for houses in Titant. Pulling out my phone I messaged Lizara as I began grabbing all of my belongings and leaving the school's books at the bottom. Only stopping briefly over a photo of me and my parents before gently placing it into my bag's front pocket to keep it safe.
Hum Hum
" Is everything OK?'
" Yes, seniors get the last two days off. I had no clue."
"OK, b there n 5"
I clicked my phone's screen off and began walking out to the curb to wait. taking in everything one last time. The walls had this yellowish white with horizontal brown stripes, bumpy yet smooth to the touch. Off white floors with brown speckles slung around each tile. Occasional pictures of landscapes that seemed they were from foreign lands. By the main doors a trophy case full of plaques of names, trophies, and jerseys. Nothing too much to miss, four years of seeing the same walls and I felt numb to it all. I used to love this school. I used to have friends. Now I have nothing but a bitter taste towards it all. Pressing against the cool metal handle one last time to the outside world. A slight crisp breeze full of the morning smells dances around me. I close my eyes and inhale deeply, taking in the smells of the freshly cut grass of the grounds, the smell of dampened leaves of the Sacred Woodlands that bordered the grounds.
"Hop on in kiddo!" Lizara's voice rang out, startling me a bit. I chuckled a little bit and gave her a half smile. Her blonde curls bouncing with every flick of her head, beautiful mint green eyes that had a similar twinkle like my mother's, and dewy, sun kissed skin. She smelled of warm honey and vanilla, which comforted me greatly.
"What?" she giggled.
"Just thinking. Thank you Liz for everything these last few months." I smiled warmly." I don't think I could have faced all this alone." I smiled and went to look out my window thinking of what my future held for me.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
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.
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.
Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
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.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
The Spy Who Left
