Chapter 1
Outside the castle, chaos wreaked havoc and destruction. Screams of anger and pain were like knives digging and twisting into his gut. There was no doubt that more devastation was yet to come.
The sound of horses echoed along the cobbled stones that created a path to the wooden front doors. Each thud was like the drums of war, installing fear into everyone nearby. They could smell smoke as shouts and angered words were thrust into the air. A sign in which, the army was fast approaching and ready for battle. A battle that he himself knew they could not win.
“What have you done?” his father asked him in a grave voice. One that showed fear, which was something, is father never did. He was the king and had the respect of his people. Fierce and firm, he was known for ruling with an iron fist yet having compassion and understanding. He had nothing to fear. Until now... One wrong move and he had brought the wrath of the Gods to his kingdom.
That was all it had taken. His actions had caught up to him and now, not only will he suffer but his family too. “Please forgive me, father,” he begged, getting on his knees. For what he had done would be unforgivable, to a man like the King. An all-powerful man, that very man now stood before him shaking. From fear or anger he could not tell. The fire burning in his eyes made him gulp and bow head. No longer able to keep looking into his father’s eyes and feeling the guilt rip through his stomach. All he could do was hope that the love a parent feels for their offspring would overshadow the hatred he would feel. But even then, he doubted it. His mistake was grave. One in which it would change the course of their lives forever. He had no doubt that her threats were not empty. Thinking of her last words before he fled, he trembled.
The door to the throne room was thrust open with a loud bang as wood gave way and clattered to the floor.
The woman he had deceived stood in all her glory. Beautiful and elegant, the reason he had been drawn to her in the first place. He should have learned by now. Beauty was just a disguise for the evil that resides inside. She was not what she had seemed, and he had made the worst mistake of all. One that would cost him and his family, he glanced at his mother whose eyes were as wide as saucers. Her beautiful pelican face was pale and filled with a deep seeded sadness. She was afraid and had every right to be. Had he known then who this woman was, she would have been the last female he ever laid eyes on. “I would ask you to have mercy, but your heart is as black as night, kindness is not in your nature. But your darkness will be your downfall,” his mother said to the woman and his mouth slightly opened at the calmness in her voice. She had always been the same. Like she knew what was coming before anyone else did. Yet her words were always spoken in riddles, a puzzle that needed to be solved, and a hint to the truth hiding in plain sight.
One show of power and they knew that they were no match. Just one mistake and their kingdom had crumbled. The power of the Gods was no match for lower beings of witches.
Like criminals they were marched through the forest to the Great Oak Tree, which stood tall and proud in the centre of Athens. Guarded by the goddess’s men, they couldn’t run, and hiding was pointless. She had proved to be much stronger than they were. Defeat, it left a hollow feeling in their stomachs, which only caused more unwanted emotions to creep over them.
Ashamed and humiliated they bowed their heads, afraid to look their people in the eyes, as they stood before the ancient tree. It represented their very own family, planted by the very first witch. It showed that their community would grow and branch off with each new addition. It was a reminder of the future.
Every witch in Athens had gathered, some wore sombre expressions while others held a smirk. They were ready to watch his punishment be rolled out. The prince would finally face his crimes, and his father couldn’t help him this time. Money, power. In that moment it meant nothing. No one could help him. They had yet to find out that he was not the only one that would be punished, but his entire race.
He watched as the rune glowed and the goddess grinned. He knew what the rune was. They all did. It was a part of a prophecy that many called an old tale to scare their people. It was the first time they had seen it glow. It had always been nothing but a craving in the tree. He didn’t hear what she had to say through the drumming of his own heart.
A bright flash of white swallowed him whole, and he felt himself free falling. “Any witch who dares to return will be executed,” he heard her say, followed by a maniac laugh, one that would haunt him for years to come.

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

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.

Invisible To Her Bully
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.
My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.
After my grandmother passed, I had to move in with my mom and stepdad, who treated me like a servant. I prayed every day for my 18th birthday to come, so l could leave and escape this broken home.
However, on my first day at my new school, l encountered the legendary twins everyone feared.
To make matters worse, the Moon Goddess revealed they were both my mates!
After helping me out with my stepdad, my twin mate cornered me, played with my hair, and whispered possessively, "You belong to us, our little mate..."
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.

But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
