"No, why me!" "The brutal tyrant wants someone he can easily control and bear heirs."

"It is settled. She will be sent to the Lycan King as his wife in exchange for his warriors." Luciana concluded.

I stood there more desperate than ever as the tray slipped out of my hands to the floor.

There were so many hideous tales I had heard about him. One of them is that he decorates his room with the heads of those he has killed, and he drinks blood instead of water. The most bewildering part was that women still swooned around him, which was very perplexing.


Cursed at birth, Cassia navigated through life after she was dumped in Moon's Pack by her sick mother. She was bullied and maltreated by all as she was an Omega until fate had mercy on her. She was mated to a dreadful Lycan King who loved her, but his reputation scared her.

“She has to be at an age range that was close to mine, smart, beautiful, and a virgin” he said looking at his mother whose eyes widened.
“Alpha, how are we to find out if she was a virgin or not…?”
“I don’t care, if I am to marry a human who isn’t my mate, then she is to be one who has never been touched by a man” the Alpha said getting up from the couch.
“What are we to do, mum?” His sister asked.
“We’ll find him what he asked for…”
And that is exactly what they did…


When Alpha Blake had put out his condition on his mother and sister, he never thought that they would be able to find the woman he asked for in such a short period of time. However, when they showed him her picture, he was forced to comply.
“Her name is Natalia Adams, and she is everything you asked for”

"I swallow hard to brace myself, eyes flickering over his massive form, “Tell me, Commander Lothbrook,” I say stiffly, “What reason can you possibly have for stealing me from my home and chaining me to your wall?” His lips tip up in that vicious-looking grin again, fangs flashing in the low light... "

"The night of the Summer Solstice ball is the night he kidnaps me the first time…

Twenty-year-old Lily Montegard, Princess of the Seelie Fae, was supposed to be living a quiet life hidden away from the rest of her court. But the night of the summer solstice is the night that her life irrevocably changes.

When the ruthless and powerful King of the Shifters that roam the Northern Mountains mistakes her for the heir to the throne, Lily is kidnapped from her home to be held for ransom. But when you’re smaller than the other fae and fabled throughout the Seelie court as being “cursed” for being born with fragile health and without magic, that weakness could be a death sentence among the Shifters.

With every day that passes, secrets unfold about the shifters that show that not everything is as it seems. Especially when it comes to their King, who Lily’s attraction to becomes harder and harder to fight."

He wants her only for her body until he fell for her soul.

Ashlyn Ambrosia, the daughter of Khalid Ambrosia is a weak hybrid vampire that doesn't act like one. Unable to draw blood from a living soul and unable to kill. She's been mocked for this by her own family too. Her world comes crashing down when she's taken away by her Clutch most hated adversary.....

He takes her in as his mistress opposing what the moon goddess proposes.....

With a life that is filled with secrets and mysteries that Ashlyn would discover, would she be able to withstand his hell as he battles with his inner demon despite his cruelty?

The Sunlight shone upon her tired face. She opened her eyes wearily and felt weak and tired. The sun rays poured into her eyes, and she shut them quickly.

Gradually she opened her eyes gently and allowed it to adjust to the light in her surroundings. Where is she?

She raised herself to a sitting position and tried remembering what happened. She lifted the quilt and was surprised when she found herself naked. What happened to her? Why is she here? When did she pull off her dress?

She remembered vaguely that Tiana had helped her into a room last night. She didn't remember anything else besides…

Ah! Someone had taken advantage of her, she'd been raped! She lifted the quilt again and checked herself.

The hickey, the blood stain and the pain of being torn only proved that she had been taken.

She is married and there is no way she can excuse herself or explain to Lu Jingli that she had lost her first time to someone else.

She stood up quickly, picked up her dress on the floor and dashed into the bathroom. Just then Lu Jingli walked in with his mother and Tiana.

"That's right, she had really been taken. Take the photos of the blood stain bedspread and let's leave" That's Lu Cherry.

She's Lu Jingli's mother. 'I have enough reason to divorce her and be married to the love of my life" Lu Jingli chimed and held Tiana close to his heated body and kissed her.

"Easy my love. We will be married soon and I will become yours fully. My sister has been pushed out of the way" Tiana Mo said, sounding really excited.

Theresa Mo heard their words and couldn't believe her ears. Her husband and sister connived together against her?

She waited until the sound of the footsteps had gone far before she walked out of the bathroom with her dress on. She hurried her steps and walked away.

Hardly had Theresa Mo left when Pascal Lee got into the room. He checked through and didn't see anyone.

"Hello boss, the woman is gone. But I will show you the proof of her innocence" Pascal Lee said and took photos of the blood stain on the bed.

Dark. Powerful. Dangerous.
James Maxwell is one of the billionaire elites who rules Las Vegas City with an iron fist.

You’re definitely worth two million, Mia. Think about it. Two million. Five years. Your brother will go free. It’s a contract.

Those are the words of the gorgeous billionaire James Maxwell, the man who makes my heart race and my body tremble with longing. I want to refuse his proposal, but how can I? My brother owes him two million, and as dirt poor as we are, there’s no way we can find that much money to repay him. What’s worse, I think I’m falling in love with the man who thinks I’m just his mistress.

This is our story.

I loved her before I knew who she was.
Now I hate her with every breath.

She is the daughter of my sworn enemy the Vampire King who betrayed me for centuries. To seal a fragile peace, she was sacrificed to me, a pawn in a war that will never truly end.

I dragged her to Hell, determined to shatter her spirit. I destroyed the one she cherished most, ensuring her broken heart would belong only to me.

But Selena is not just a sacrifice.

She is half-human, half-vampire… an outcast born of two worlds yet claimed by none. She doesn’t yield. She doesn’t break. She burns.

And in defying me, she may bring Hell itself to its knees.

The war between us is inevitable. The bond between us is undeniable.

And she is mine.

Will Prince Ashton still want her when he knows the truth?
Will the kingdom be saved?

"I'm not marrying you," I said as I slowly opened my eyes, my voice trembling.
"Yes, you are," was his only response before removing his hands and freeing me from the small cage I had been placed in. I let out a heavy sigh and then looked back up at him, tears still streaming down my face.

I can't just sit back and let that happen. So I decided to propose to him and get him killed before our fate's set.
Yet, the moon goddess says otherwise...
**
“Will you marry me, Alpha Xavier?” I asked and bowed slightly. Lord Xavier is currently the Alpha of the Leonard family.
Apparently, he’s been hailed as one of the strongest men on the continent—and the most handsome. Not like that matters to me but I guess it’s a plus.
“Excuse me?” The man stared at me in disbelief. “If have to repeat myself, will you marry me?” I looked up at Xavier who hadn’t moved a muscle nor taken his eyes off of me.
He just needs to accept my proposal already! This silence and waiting is unbearable! I’m offering you money and power.
What more could you possibly— “I accept your marriage proposal.” Xavier interrupted my thoughts and released his hold on me. I’ve succeeded! Another step closer to your death, my Lord…

------- Xavier’s POV

I accepted the witch girl’s proposal and walked out of the parlor without looking back at her. How could I?
My heart raced inside of my chest, though I knew that these beats weren’t my own. Throughout the entire ordeal, something itched in the back of my mind. I knew what it was.
“Lyon!” I commanded through thought. “What was that all about? What happened?” A howl echoed through my mind.
“She’s our mate!” Lyon exclaimed. Mate?! The daughter of the Wisdom family was supposed to be my Luna? I couldn’t believe that the Moon Goddess was capable of such jokes and trickery.

This thrilling adventure is mine to embrace, and as I traverse its twists and turns, I discover a world beyond my wildest dreams.

I am suddenly lifted up in the air. In shock, for a split of a second, I think someone wants to pick me up, then smash me down on the floor.

But I am wrong. In these short moments, I am in a trance. I smell the fresh scent of ocean salt in the morning. I have never smelled such a pure fragrance.

It brings my whole being out of this place, out of this hell, as if a beautiful golden sun is rising above the horizon, bringing light to the dark sky.

Then, I see a firm jawline, a tall and slightly bony nose, and strong and broad shoulders. I am being hugged by a pair of muscular arms. A gorgeous stranger was lifting me up like a weightless feather, and carrying me out of the monstrous crowd. Who was he?

WARNING: THIS CONTAINS STEAMY SCENES THAT COULD BE WILD AND EXPLOSIVE!!

Rosalind Rougeworth was born cursed or so she believed. A wolf who cannot shift, the sister of a fallen soldier, and the outcast of her pack. Her brother’s death broke her, and the one responsible, Prince Aklan Draven of Narth, became the name she learned to hate more than her weakness.

When she earned a place at Norsen Academy, she planned to prove she’s more than the powerless girl her pack called her. But fate is cruel. Her first week, she came face-to-face with Aklan, colder, sharper, and infuriatingly untouchable. He didn’t even remember her, and when she tried to confront him, he punished her instead, making her life at the academy a living hell.

Hatred burned between them until the impossible happened,the mate bond snaps into place. The wolf she never thought she had awakened for him. The man she swore to kill became the one her body, her soul, and her wolf crave.

Rosalind’s powers began to surface, wild, elemental, and nothing like the magic of ordinary wolves. Powers that mark her as something the ancient realms fear, the prophesied convergence, a creature born once in a century with power from every realm: The binder of all nine realms.

And every realm wants her dead before she learns to use it.

When Aklan discovered her brother’s death wasn’t what it seemed, that his sacrifice wasn't just for a dying friend, that Rivan chose to die and left Aklan to guard Rosalind’s fate for a different reason, protection turned to obsession.

Now, as assassins move in the shadows, alliances crumble, and old gods stir in Orza, Aklan and Rosalind are bound by something darker than destiny:
a love born from war, sharpened by betrayal, and sealed in blood.

“So you prefer to trade your child with money so you would become a millionaire, Dad. I used to think you were frugal but now I know you’re not only frugal but callous as well.

“You wouldn’t dare. If you do just that then you cease to be my daughter" I knew he meant what he said.

“You heard me correctly. If you choose not to get married to Sebastian then I’d have to repudiate you as my daughter. If you won’t help our family become a successful then you have no reason to remain under my roof” Dad announced.

"Your highness, this is my daughter, and I offer you my loyalty." At a fancy party, I hid in a corner and watched my father, an alpha, bend over to speak to the prince on the throne, while my sister, Bernice, wore a tight, glamorous dress, sit at the prince's feet and show him a charming and smug smile. It was a reception for the Prince and for my sister to be his mate. "My Girl, I got you." My Cousin's disgusting voice sounded. A chill ran down my back. "You can't get it off," he said, reaching for me again. No... At the same time, there was a low cry from the banquet center. Bernice looked pale, and the prince frowned at the crowd before him. He had a Lycan oppressive aura that made everyone afraid to breathe. "Not her," said the prince, refusing even to look at Bernice. How did this happen? Isn't the Prince's mate Bernice? I hid in the corner. I wasn't in the mood to see what was going on at the party. I just wanted to get rid of the jerk in front of me. But why did the Prince Look at me hiding in the corner? Oh, Moon goddess, I can't read his eyes.

She has no name, not anymore, after so long she has simply forgotten what a name is, what it means to be able to choose, what it means to be able to wish, she has simply forgotten what it means to be a person.
She's just a slave in a pack that makes a point of reminding her that she's nothing more than an object to be used, whether it's to do household chores or to satisfy the sexual desires of her masters.

He is a king, not only that, but the king of werewolves, his domain extends over all the lupine lands and he has never cared about much, his heart is already closed, destroyed by a past he wants to forget.
With one word he could change the whole society, but for what? It's not worth it, the joy of war and fighting is one of the things that keeps him going... And, of course, the pleasure he gets from whoever he wants, whenever he wants, without ever hearing no.

He's not just a king, he's an emperor... His vampire empire covers almost all of Europe, many call him a dictator, others a liberator... He rules his lands with an iron fist, his word is law.
Tired from a long war, he just wants to rest for a while and find the one who will complete him... After living so long, he's tried everything, but he still hasn't found the person fate has given him.

Three completely different people... Three intertwined destinies... Who will heal who and who will survive in the end?

She went to the virginity auction to save her family--but can she save herself?

“Well, are you going to do it or not?” I keep my chin held high, but inside, I’m trembling.
“Do what?’ the mafia king asks me, a smug look on his face.
“What you paid for.” I bite my bottom lip, wondering if I can handle him. I am a virgin, after all.
He snickers at me, and then, his mouth is on mine, and he’s taking every penny’s worth.

I’d do anything to keep my family safe. When I find out a mobster is trying to kill everyone I love because of a debt, I sacrifice myself and end up on an auction block. When I find myself owned by Dante Cattaneo, I don’t know if I’ve been saved or sent straight to hell.

Dante

She’s gorgeous and scares as hell, even though she’s trying not to show it. My number one rule is to never let my weakness show, but from the moment I see her face, I know I have to have her. And if anyone finds out how I feel about her, I’m screwed.

Dive into this steamy, dark, mafia romance now!

Seventeen-year-old Lily has spent her entire life as the pack’s outcast.

Bullied relentlessly at school, especially by the Alpha twins—Lucas and Liam—who torment her with cruel nicknames, she endures the abuse because she knows she’ll escape it all on her eighteenth birthday.

Her plan is simple: run away, leave the pack behind, and start fresh, far from the shame of her family and the cruelty she faces.But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, everything changes.

During the Moon Goddess Festival, where mates are revealed, Lily finds herself in the center of attention. The Moon Goddess shocks the entire pack by choosing her as the destined mate of both Alpha twins.

In an instant, her plans are shattered, and her life is thrown into chaos.

Will she embrace her fate, or will she fight to escape the bonds that tie her to the very wolves who tormented her?

This is the story of Millicent Walker, a mysterious orphan who arrived in the small coastal town of Crimson mute, nameless, and with no memory of her life before. Hired out by the orphanage to pay for her room and board, her strange appearance and mannerisms lead her to be seen as a freak. To many, she was seen as having less value than the rags she used to clean the floors.
When a blight comes to Crimson, the dragon demands a virgin "of marriageable age" as a sacrifice in exchange for his assistance.
Seen as strange, even cursed, Millicent was an easy choice for the sacrifice. Loved and wanted by no one, there was nobody to fight for her when they chained her to the cart and left her at the base of the hill to be defiled or devoured.
Little did they know, her sacrifice would be their biggest mistake.

Seren Vale has spent a lifetime concealing the forbidden magic that was never meant for her. But when this power blazes to life without warning, the kingdom brands her the Chosen One of a centuries-old prophecy—destined to slay the Shadow Prince, the terror who haunts every realm.
Her desperate escape leads her straight into the clutches of the very monster she’s sworn to destroy. Kaelith, cursed by shadows that gnaw at his soul each night, feared by all… yet instead of striking her down, he saves her.
Bound by an unbreakable, unexplainable power, Seren becomes the only thing standing between Kaelith and the curse that’s slowly devouring him. As fate weaves their lives into a tangled web, she’s forced to confront a truth more terrifying than any prophecy:
The deadliest danger isn’t the destiny that demands she kill him—it’s the forbidden, blazing bond that’s growing between them, threatening to burn down everything they know.

I read a love letter out loud in front of four hundred people. It wasn't mine — and neither was the humiliation.

That was the day he found me.

Kaelen Dravos, the last pure-blooded dragon lord, hadn't left his mountain manor in twenty years. He didn't come down for politics, for power, or for war. He came down for me — a broke, debt-crushed academy girl who couldn't even afford to fix her broken shoelace.

He said I owed him two million gold coins. He lied. What he actually wanted was far more dangerous: a blood contract. My presence, my obedience, my life — bound to his by dragon's law, for as long as he decided.

I said yes. Because eleven thousand gold coins of debt doesn't negotiate, and neither does a brother facing prison.

But there's something Kaelen hasn't told me. Something about why I — specifically — can silence the monster living in his blood.

And I'm starting to think the answer is buried in a name that someone erased from the Imperial Registry twelve years ago.

A name my missing father warned me about.

Before he disappeared.

She was given a choice. Marry him… or watch her father die. Seraphine Caelis refused. So Azriel Kaine pulled the trigger. Left with nothing but grief and survival, she signs a contract that binds her to the most dangerous man in the underworld. Now trapped in a world of power, blood, and control, she quickly learns one thing— She is not a wife. She is an asset. But when enemies begin hunting her, and Azriel starts protecting her like something more than property, the lines begin to blur. Because in his world, love is weakness. And obsession? Far more dangerous.

“She’s mine, let her go.”
It was Lukas.
Claire had gotten herself into a big mess. She is his unwanted human mate.
Why did he come to save her?
Her eyes widened when Lukas kissed her roughly.
For Lukas, he still despised the little human but she was his,
no one else was allowed to touch her but him,
no one else was allowed to make her miserable but him.


Claire was taken from her family by the tyrannical werewolf King to be his fated mate. He despises her because she's human while Claire just wants her freedom from the man who uses her body and breaks her mind.
When she is kidnapped by an attacking Pack, Alpha King Lukas goes into a fury and goes after his mate.
She was all his, after all, no one could take her away from him.

"This is where you belong, tied to my bed because I own all of you."

When Alcee Mariani turns twenty-one, she knows her time is up. Her family has arranged her marriage from the time she was twelve to the future Don of the Lozano family, Torquato "The Grizzly" Lozano. He's rumored to be cold, cruel and heartless and he's a full ten years older than she is.
Selling her virginity online is a surefire way to make sure The Grizzly cancels the agreement and when she lets her father know she's sold it to the highest bidder and never got his real name, the contract is ended but so is her association with her own family.
Six years later she is no longer the treasured principessa of the Mariani family, but the single-mother to a five-year old boy who bears an uncanny resemblance to the man to whom she sold her innocence.

When he stumbles across her in a newly purchased company working as an IT tech, he's stunned to find out she's the woman his family arranged him to marry so many years before. A perusal of her file tells him she didn't leave their rendezvous all those nights ago empty handed. Her little boy is the spitting image of him, right down to his massive size.
When Alcee's family realize they are losing out on a lucrative financial alliance they should have been part of, it starts a war. With enemies appearing at every corner, Alcee and Torquato will need to let the past go and work together to keep their son alive. Their passion will reignite as they strive to keep their family safe and forge a new power to take over the New York criminal underworld.

Blurb

She's promised to his brother... but branded by his touch. And now the past refuses to stay buried.


SIENNA

I thought I buried that night.

The night I gave myself to a stranger. Reckless and wild. No names. No rules. No future.

Just heat. Desperation. A body that made me forget who I was supposed to be.

Now I wear his brother's ring. Planning a future with the man I'm supposed to love.

Then he walks into my engagement party and everything shatters.

Landon Callahan. The black sheep. The rebel. The man who touched me before I knew his name.

He acts like I never existed. Like that night was nothing.

But I remember every breath. Every broken rule. Every moment I came alive.

I should walk away. Should marry Noah and forget.

But Landon has always been the fire I was never meant to touch twice.


LANDON

She was never supposed to be his.

The night I had her, I didn't ask her name. Didn't want to know.

I just knew I'd never forget the way she looked at me. Like I was the only thing she ever wanted.

Then I walk into the engagement party I should have skipped. And see her standing beside my brother.

Now I'm back in the world I swore I'd left behind. And she's the one thing I can't outrun.

She wears his ring. Smiles like she hasn't been in my bed. Pretends I never made her come undone.

But I remember. And so does she.

One night should have been the end.

Instead it was only the beginning.

Because I don't let go of what's mine. Not even for my brother.

Seventeen years ago, Klaus and Liam were two halves of a whole, bound by bruised knuckles and a love they didn't know how to name.

Liam Vance is a ghost in his own life, drowning in debt and fighting to keep his ten-year-old brother, Leo, alive.

When a locker-room scandal threatens to melt Klaus's reputation, his team offers Liam a contract: pose as Klaus’s "ambiguous" best friend to humanize the star. Liam needs the money for Leo’s treatment; Klaus needs a shield. But as Liam captures the boy behind the superstar through his lens, the professional lines shatter. When a staged betrayal forces Klaus to choose between his hard-won reputation and the man he never stopped loving, his cowardice costs Liam everything. To earn a second chance, the Ice King will have to step out of the shadows and face the world—or lose Liam forever.

"He won the game, but the price is death..."

When my father defeated a poker legend he was never supposed to beat, it meant only one thing—payback. And in this world, payback is death. But I have something that might distract the man who holds my father’s life in his hands.

"How will you save him? Will you die in his place?" he asked with a smirk.
"No one is dying!" I shouted. "I’ll give you my virginity. Are you interested?"
"Only on one condition," he said. "Marry me."

Who said marrying a dangerous man is a nightmare? Because all I remember is falling for him—completely, deeply, and with every inch of my soul.

Alpha Damien is a multi-billionaire. He's a mafia and a strict
businessman. He runs a lot of businesses and also gives loans to
people... if you can't afford to repay your loan, he collects
whatever he wants to take from you that is equivalent to the loan.
He's a ruthless and fearless Alpha, but he finds out his mate is the
daughter of his own of his debtors, and she has lived all her life as
a nun... How would a nun satisfy a ruthless Alpha???

“What did you say, little omega? I didn’t quite hear you.” Grayson rushed after me and growled; he yanked me roughly by the hair and pulled me back to face him. Then grabbing me by the scruff of the neck. I didn’t whimper or make a sound. I looked down at the ground, careful not to meet his glare. I knew that would make him more furious and I had learnt not to do that a long time ago.

I could feel the eyes of the cafeteria on me, waiting for my response. My heart raced in my chest as Grayson's grip tightened on my neck. But I refused to show any weakness. That is what he wanted—weakness to show how powerful he was. But he would never be as powerful as his brothers or the Alpha and he knew it.

"I said you don't have the right to treat others like dirt, Grayson," I repeated, my voice loud and clear for everyone around us to hear.

Eliza is nothing more than an omega at the Creek Pack. All her life she has been treated badly by everyone especially the Alpha quadruplets and the Beta’s daughter.
