Ivy Sinclair has spent her entire life running.

New towns. New schools. New beginnings that never last.

Her parents have always kept secrets, moving from place to place without explanation, refusing to answer the questions that haunt her. When they arrive in the quiet town of Willow Creek, Ivy expects another temporary stop before the next escape.

Instead, she finds a town that feels strangely familiar.

At Willow Creek High, she quickly attracts attention—especially from Kael Solaris, the mysterious son of the Alpha. Feared, respected, and impossible to ignore, Kael has never questioned his place in the pack. But the moment he sees Ivy, something deep within him awakens. An instinct he can’t explain. A pull he can’t resist.

The problem?

Ivy doesn’t have a wolf.

At least, she shouldn’t.

As whispers spread through the pack and old secrets begin to surface, Ivy discovers that Willow Creek is hiding far more than small-town drama. The wolves seem to recognize her. The forest reacts to her presence. And the truth her parents have spent years protecting may be far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

With a jealous rival determined to keep her away from Kael, growing tensions within the pack, and mysterious abilities beginning to emerge, Ivy finds herself caught in a world she was never supposed to remember.

But some secrets refuse to stay buried.

And some bonds were forged long before either of them were born.

In a town built on lies, one forgotten girl may hold the key to a past powerful enough to change everything.

Six years ago, he was sacrificed by his family to save his brother. Now he's back. But he's no longer weak. Now many important figures, officials, and rulers must bow before him, for he is the Young God of Knowledge.

Bleedhaven Port is a den of vipers, where criminal syndicates, arms dealers, information brokers and corrupt law‑enforcers are tightly intertwined.
Retired ghost mercenary Raine lives under an assumed identity, sheltering behind a run‑down bar. Amid the chaotic docks, he pretends to be ordinary, numb, just another nobody.
Only his right‑eye tactical chip, Rezo, stays fully awake, calculating kills, odds, and every lethal strike.
The betrayal three years ago is shrouded in doubt. The stab from his former second‑in‑command was no personal grudge. A secret contract, using his own call‑sign, was made to hunt him down, burying the whole truth.
Now, amid this sprawling game of pieces, he will tear away every man’s mask and hunt the shadowy figure who used his name to sign his death warrant.

“You want me,” Ace said with a smirk, his fingers grazing Spades’ cheek.

“I see it in your eyes, in the way your body responds to mine. You want me just as much as I want you. So why fight it, Spades? Why fight me?” he murmured, pressing their bodies together.

Spades stood frozen, torn between desire and dread, his heart hammering. Rage flickered in his voice.

“You’re married to my stepsister. You’re the heir to the Bratva. Do I need to list more reasons why this is a terrible idea? Why will this never work? You chose her, Ace. You married her. Think. Let me go.”

Ace’s eyes turned stormy.

“Never,” he growled—and then he kissed him.

Karlin “Ace” Marakov is the heir to the Bratva, the ruthless Russian Mafia. Arrogant, violent, and dangerously reckless, Ace destroys everything he touches. Tired of his self-destruction, his father—the Pakhan—forces him into marriage with Nina Ivanov, the daughter of his closest ally.

But Ace never wanted Nina.

He wanted her stepbrother.

Spades Ivanov grew up with nothing. Every meal was earned, every step forward fought for. Adopted by Lee Ivanov, he’s fiercely loyal—loyal enough to follow any order, no matter the cost.

When Ace and Spades crash into each other, it’s volatile, electric, and impossible to ignore. The tension becomes unbearable. Ace wants him—and he'll burn their entire world to the ground to have him.

Because in Ace’s mind, Spades is his.

Two sisters. One fate. And a darkness that refuses to stay buried. Eden and Eve Santo were born identical, but they could not be more different. Eden is gentle, compassionate, and gifted with rare healing magic. Eve is powerful, reckless, and consumed by a restless hunger for something more than the sheltered life their pack demands. Raised in the safety of the Santo wolf pack after a brutal war nearly destroyed their kind, the twins were never supposed to face the horrors of the past. But when Eve becomes obsessed with the forbidden mountain where feral vampires once died, an ancient darkness awakens and drags her beyond anyone’s reach. As Eve’s powers spiral out of control, Eden refuses to give up on the sister everyone else fears is already lost. With the help of Kaelin, a dangerous demon-wolf hybrid tied to her by fate, Eden must enter the cursed mountain and confront the terrifying truth about what the twins were truly born to become. Because saving Eve may require destroying the very thing that makes her powerful. A dark paranormal fantasy filled with forbidden magic, ancient bloodlines, feral vampires, fated mates, and the devastating bond between sisters, Awakening: Eve of Eden is an emotional and addictive journey into love, sacrifice, and the dangerous cost of power.

"For the next ten minutes, I will seduce you and if the word 'Please' escapes your lips. You lose."
"And what will happen if I lose?" I asked hurriedly, not moving my eyes from his atrocious one, breathless, tempted, but also scared.

"The first thing I thought about this morning was going to your room and making sure Wolf understood exactly who he should stay away from." He lifted me off the floor with insulting ease, and in one second, I was back in the chair.
"Decker"
"That's not what you're supposed to call me, baby," he said, his gaze darkening. "Look at me. I want to see you."
I did. Decker Kane looked like he was seconds away from combusting, and then he rasped, like he was barely holding himself together, "You're so fucking beautiful." Then he kissed me.
I've been in love with Decker Kane since I turned eighteen and realized every forbidden dream I'd ever had was about him. He's my father's best friend. The Vice President of the Iron Clad Kings. Seventeen years older than me, and completely off-limits. So I ran. Tried to be normal. Tried to want someone else. Three years later, I'm back. Baseball bat in hand, engagement destroyed, and my body burning for the only man I've ever truly wanted.
Decker can keep fighting it. He can keep pretending that whatever is between us doesn't exist. But I'm going to make the Reaper King break. And when he finally stops fighting me... I'll be exactly what I was always meant to be. Property of the Reaper King.

Synopsis

Nineteen-year-old orphan Ethan built everything from nothing — three years of pizza deliveries, a cheap suit, and one promotion away from a decent life. Then his girlfriend chose his childhood bully over him, a bullet ended up in his chest, and he was dumped on the pavement like garbage.

He should have died.

Instead, he woke up with a system that turns real money into power, dungeons into opportunity, and patience into revenge.

Lawrence Luther doesn't know what's coming and nobody else does too.

But Ethan has always been good at building things quietly — and this time, he's building something that cannot be taken from him.

Alone.
Scared.
Kicked out.
I have always lived in survival mode. I've been fighting for my existence ever since I was born. Whoever gave birth to me, dumped me in a trashcan, leaving me to die.
I survived, and was put into the foster system. Again, I was fending for myself until my eighteenth birthday when my foster mother kicked me out because her son was getting a little too handy.
I find myself living on the streets, until an email changes everything.
An acceptance letter to an elite university where nobody applies to, they get chosen.
Why me?
I can't afford the luxury of denying. I either go, or I stay homeless, so the choice is easy.
I walk into a world I didn't even know existed, receiving things I don't deserve.
Why am I here?
And why are the richest three boys on campus whose families rule everything, always following me?

Hate.

Oh yes, I fucking hate Chase Hartley. I mean he's... cocky, a college hockey star, and to top it all, he's my soon-to-be stepbrother. Because my dad decided to get married and have me trapped under the same roof with him for the entire summer.

But everything changed the day we kissed.

Everything turned forbidden.

He said calmly, "Well, I knew about it already."
My eyes flared open in shock, "How - How did you know?"

That same night, Elijah Ward—once a top-tier defense attorney in New York—drove past the town's faded welcome sign, returning to a place he swore he'd never step foot in again.

He wasn't back for justice. He wasn't back to help. He was back for his daughter… and a secret he buried ten years ago.

But when he’s pulled into defending two boys from opposite sides of town—one rich, one poor—both claiming innocence in cases that seem open and shut, he realizes the truth isn’t just buried… it’s protected.

As Elijah digs deeper, the town’s past claws its way into the present. The courtroom becomes a battlefield. Every witness lies. Every motive twists. And someone wants him gone before he uncovers what this town really hides.

They starved me of warmth, forced me to bear every blade, bullet and crime in her stead, and my husband Rafael, whom I once loved with all I had, sacrificed me without hesitation to soothe her feigned sickness.
I was locked in an underground dungeon lab to serve as her live drug test subject, tormented day and night by lethal experimental serum.

For twelve centuries, the exiled vampire king waited for the prophecy foretold to restore his fallen power. But never expected the girl destined to save him to be the reincarnation of the wife he lost.

Anastasia has spent 18 years of her life beneath her grandmother's watchful eye, hidden from a world she never knew wanted her dead. Sheltered. Obedient. Ordinary – or so she believed.

And the illness slowly stealing her life is not just a disease. It is an awakening.

The man she has quietly loved from afar – the impossibly perfect, untouchable Mr. William – is not who she thought he was either.

He is older than memory. A king without a kingdom. A vampire betrayed by his own brother, stripped of his power, and exiled from the ancient realm of Umbralord centuries ago.

And Anastasia is the one prophecy foretold would restore what was

She knows what she is to him:

A prophecy. A key. A sacrifice.

Anastasia knows there is no escaping destiny . So she makes him an offer.

For six months. He was to date her. Love her. Not out of duty or pity, but as if she truly belonged to him.

What neither of them knows is that the heavens have always been cruel. She was the nemesis placed into his perfect life from the beginning.

Because Anastasia is the reincarnation of the mate William lost twelve centuries ago – the same woman whose death ignited a war that nearly destroyed an entire kingdom.

And this time, fate is not letting go.
