His wolf goes insane when she comes over. "It's MATE!! MATE MATE MATE!!"

He calms his wolf, "STAY DOWN, we're in a human territory..."


Octavia is the only child of the Alpha and Luna of the Red Moon pack. Every aspect of Octavia’s life has been planned out perfectly by her parents, without a single thought of what she wanted for herself included. But everything her parents planned for her flips upside down when she bumps into Leon, her mate fated for her by the moon-goddess. What will happen when she realizes he is from Midnight blue pack, her pack’s sworn enemy?

Noella was fortunate enough to serve the Alpha in bed while still a Beta and to be one of the Omegas, but that one night changed her life forever.

She attempted to break through as she grew up amidst evil Betas. It was difficult to live with relatives after witnessing how brutally the Alpha of BlackMoon beheaded her parents.

Noella endured abuse and was treated like a maid, but one thought never left her mind: retaliation.

Will Noella be able to accomplish what she sets out to do given that she not only became his go-to bed warmer but also his closest sex partner?

Rejected by her mate on their twentieth birthday and also being killed by him. That same night, Cleo experienced her wolf, but what she became, even she didn't understand. The next day, she woke up and realized that her mate had completed the bond ritual while she was unconscious, and in that moment she realized that revenge tasted better than him, a revenge that her wolf was more than willing to aid her in.

"Cole is now Neuri's new mate, and that is final!" I suddenly roar from the pit of my gut, growling out my fury in a primal voice unlike any I had ever used before only seeing red. "No wolf is worthy of Neuri, nor anyone else who claims her as their mate is... There is only one man whom she wants, only one man who matters, and that man is him!" 

"What kind of sick joke is this?" Alexander spat, stepping forward.

I turned to face him as my nostril flared, my breathing ragged, and my ears pricked for the slightest movement of his steps towards me.

"You... oh, you..." I whispered, moving my head slightly from left to right as I sized him with my eyes.

"You are my mate, and you will stop this nonsense once and for all." He screamed in my mind.

His voice was carried with force, but beneath it, I tasted fear, and my lips curled upward as I laughed, raising my chin, "Make me."

They told me my family died in the fire. They lied.
Foster care. Adoption. A garden. Fists. Silence. The only rule that kept me safe: Don’t make a sound. It hurts less.
Now I train abandoned dogs to trust again. Every one of them learns. I don’t.
My adoptive parents marry me off to Bluehaven’s most dangerous man to settle a debt. A prenup is placed in front of me. Separate rooms. Separate accounts. No feelings. I sign. My first choice. Can my life get any worse?
He pins me to the wall. His hands on my skin. My fingers in his hair. I’m shaking. He stops. Waits.
“Want you,” I say. “All of it.”
For the first time, being touched doesn’t have to hurt.
For the first time, a man isn’t something to fear.
I think that’s all there is. A contract. A body. Two broken people who don’t let go.
Until I’m called to a client’s home to check on a dog.
A photograph hangs on the wall.
The little girl in the photograph is me.

He promised her dying father he'd protect her. Always.

Now Liliana is 21 and back home. She's beautiful, curvy, and done with Dante's rules. She wants to date, go out, live her life. But Dante won't let any guy near her. He scares them all away.
He tells himself it's because he's her guardian.
He tells himself she's like family.
But the truth? He doesn't want anyone touching her... because he wants her for himself.
One night, the jealousy boils over. One touch changes everything. What started as protection turns into something dark, hot, and completely forbidden.
In Dante's dangerous world, love is a weakness enemies can use. Old secrets about her father's death are coming out, and rivals are watching. But Dante can't let her go. Not now. Not ever.
She's his to protect.
She's his to have.
And some lines were meant to be crossed.
A steamy, possessive mafia guardian romance full of forbidden love, intense jealousy, and off-the-charts passion. Perfect for fans of dark, obsessive alphas and the women who bring them to their knees.

Sable Nightshade has three rules for a peaceful life: sell books, bake scones, and never trust a vampire.

Then Vladimir Draven moves in next door. He's four hundred years old, dramatically allergic to sunlight, and absolutely furious about the garlic she put in the blueberry scones. Sable thinks it's hilarious. Vladimir thinks it's attempted murder.

But when a freak accident reveals a magical blood bond between them, Sable's quiet life explodes. Vladimir's terrifying mother shows up demanding grandkids. An angel with a flaming sword claims to be her long-lost father. And Heaven itself has declared Sable a forbidden hybrid that must be destroyed.

Now Sable has one night to save herself, her bookstore, and her grumpy vampire neighbor. Her plan? Bake for the entire angelic army. Because if a pastry can tame a vampire queen, surely it can stop a holy war.

But as the angels close in and the ovens heat up, Sable has to ask herself one question: can a witch really bake her way out of divine execution or has she finally bitten off more than she can chew?

Cercei's eighteen years of existence were marred by excruciating pain and suffering solely because of her uncanny resemblance to Vienna, the Alpha's daughter. Cercei found it unbearably cruel that she possessed the same beauty as Vienna, which made Vienna feel insecure, leading her to subject Cercei to relentless torment.

Despite the numerous hardships, Cercei received love and care from her parents, and she remained humble. Although their Alpha never respected them and treated them as mere servants, her family found happiness. However, everything changed dramatically on her eighteenth birthday when their Alpha ruthlessly killed her father without a valid reason and mercilessly crushed his heart underfoot after digging it out.

Enraged and seeking revenge, Cercei felt powerless until she encountered the King Alpha of the North, whom she slept with. This chance encounter changed her life abruptly, cracking all the hidden secrets and lies her mother had carefully concealed for eighteen years. The revelation shattered Cercei's belief in her perfect family and parents, leaving her questioning everything she had ever known.

When we are young we are taught that mates are supposed to take care of you, love you, support you, be there for you when you need them and so much more. I thought when I found my mate I thought that he would want me as his. But everything I learned about mates was thrown out the window when I met mine.

"Your not fit to my future Luna," he snarled at me. I flinch back against the wall trying not to let the tears fall.

"I Terry Moore reject you, Sophia Moretti, as my mate and future Luna," he says each word piercing my heart.

I was a married woman. Mated to a wolf who would one day rule over all of us.
Fucking a stranger even in my wedding night was so wrong. It would ruin my family's good name once and for all. It could even risk our lives.
But...
“Oh.” A breathy moan escaped my lips as he parted me with the tip of his thick cock. “Plea-“
He speared me with one long brutal thrust. Moving my body in time with his as he fucked me in the dark. I bit back a scream as intense pleasure snapped inside of me. More intense than anything I had ever felt.
He fell over me, capturing my lips and kissing me. He's deep voice groaning.
“I will find you.”


Cassie was arranged to marry the heir to the Lycan king by her father, to save her broken family. She had no choice since he controlled the money and her mother needed medical care for an astronomical figure. Her husband, the Prince, even didn't show up at their wedding.
Cassie left the church and returned hospital to fulfill her shift. However, she bumped into a stranger, bleeding, seems to escaping from someone. She was aroused by his primal kiss and wild sex. But after all, this was mere a one night stand, a rebellious act to her arranged marriage, and a bit of fuck you to her father.
When she finally met her husband, a somehow similarity ignited her. Why is that? And who is that stranger eventually?

"I have a mate," I said.
"Is that so?" Alaric's gaze narrowed. He leaned closer, his breath fanning my nose and all I could think was to kiss him.
"Yes, and that’s not you," I pushed back my urges as I whispered. Why couldn’t it be him?
A feral growl left his lips as he pulled me closer, "You’re MINE!"

Betrayed. Abandoned. Left to die. Lilac had given everything to Alpha King Kael—her love, her loyalty, her very soul—only to be cast aside when his fated mate arrived. The fragile Omega not only stole Kael’s heart but destroyed everything Lilac had built, leaving her broken and watching her family perish. As Lilac took her final breath, the last thing she saw was Kael holding the woman who had ruined her.
But death was not the end.
When Lilac’s eyes opened, she was back, six years in the past, standing in the ceremony where she was first chosen as Kael’s mate. The goddess had granted her a second chance. But this time, she would not be the same naive woman who loved blindly. This time, she would fight. She would take back what was hers.
Yet, with every choice she makes, the future begins to shift. Kael's half brother Alaric showed up in the picture. Fate is no longer predictable, and the kingdom's destiny is no longer set in stone. As Lilac walks a new path, one question haunts her: Is she rewriting her salvation… or her doom?

His teeth sank into my throat, marking me with brutal possession. "Mine," Thorne Ashford growled, tongue lapping blood from the bite. My wolf whimpered, craving this Alpha who'd just claimed me in front of everyone who called me worthless. "Three months," he rasped. "Then you're free." But nothing about this bond felt temporary.

I caught my boyfriend fucking my cousin, recorded his confession about stealing my trust fund, and broke his nose. Then my uncle sold me to a "disabled, sadistic Alpha." Except Thorne Ashford isn't disabled—he's the North's most feared Alpha, and he heard everything. His offer: fake marriage, three months, walk away clean. But when he fought his father to defend me, when I shifted to protect him with silver claws out and wolf snarling mine—we stopped pretending.

Now enemies circle with poison and coups. My dead mother returns with erased memories. And when three months end, Thorne asks me to stay for real. Can I claim this brutal Alpha and my stolen birthright? Or will the truth destroy us?

This mate bond has teeth. And I'm done fighting it.

Nolan, after been attacked by some Rogues, was saved by a group of warriors, led by a young girl in a mask. He could feel the connection and is sure she's his mate. She left before he could find out who she was. Fate brought them together after some years and he got rejected by her openly. He has to fight his way to her heart or lose her completely.

**
I smirked. "So, funny you're my mate"

She hissed. "And so?"

"That makes you mine"

She chuckled but suddenly stopped. She folded her hands and glared at me. "And who told you that?"

"I know"

She laughed. "Sorry to burst your bubbles mister, I reject you!!"

I was rooted to my spot confused. Did she just reject me?. Male Alphas are known to always reject their mates but in my case, I'm the Alpha who got rejected by his mate!!

"I reject you!"

"Please..."I begged. I had never felt the comfort of anyone, and just being with him,seeing him made me complete.

"I will never accept you as mine. I, Duncan Alfredo, reject you,Luciana El Salvatore as my mate!"
.........

In her dream, Nova sees her family - powerful wolves - drawing away their enemies, desperately urging her to survive. The dream shatters as ice-cold water jolts her awake.

The bitter truth unfolds: months ago, her own gamma had betrayed her, selling her to Diego as nothing more than a solution to his estrus. After she became pregnant, they attempted to extort Diego, seeing an opportunity for profit. Nova's desperate escape attempt was met with brutal force - they bound her and beat her until consciousness slipped away.

Through her pain, she heard her gamma's cruel taunts: her family was gone, and she was nothing now - just a worthless wolf without a pack, no longer the proud daughter of an alpha. With these harsh words ringing in her ears, they drove towards the Diego tribe's territory, taking Nova further from everything she once knew.

My name is Gemma and I'm the white wolf.

My life has been really, really shitty.

At 3, the pack I stayed at was attacked, I lost my mother, was kidnapped and abused by some people. They asked me to reveal the identity of the white wolf. I was only 3 for goddess' sake! How was I supposed to know? After I was deemed useless to their search, I became their maid. I lost 12 years, 12 freaking years, to these people but I escaped.

I had planned it for a long time and managed to get from America to England. I met my mate there. Alpha Conner Hughes. I love him. He helped me figure myself out and taught me about gifted wolves.

I'm a gifted wolf, scratch that, His Gifted Luna.

Everything was quiet for four years, four beautiful years, until fate just decided to just fuck with me and send me back to my old pack to deal with hunters.

Secrets will be revealed, hardships will be overcome and hearts will be broken. I just hope i can get through it all with Conner by my side.

I stepped forward, pressing my body against him, feeling the hardness of his desire. Our lips met in a hungry kiss, our tongues tangling as we explored each other with a feverish intensity. Xavier's hands moved to my hips, guiding me as he backed me against a nearby tree, its rough bark scraping gently against my skin. With gentle urgency, he lifted me, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, our bodies fitting together perfectly.
I gasped as he entered me, filling me. We moved in sync, our breath coming in sharp gasps, our hearts pounding as one. The moonlight bathed us in its soft glow, and the night sang with the melody of our passion. As our release washed over us, I felt a deep sense of connection—to Xavier, to our packs, and to the very heart of nature itself.


On the eve of her 18th birthday, Mia, the fiercely independent daughter of Alpha Marcus, stands at the edge of a destiny she never chose.
Bound by the expectations of her pack and the chains of tradition, she finds herself thrust into an arranged marriage with Alpha Xavier, the formidable new leader of a rival pack. As their wedding day approaches, Mia’s world is turned upside down by a shocking revelation:
Xavier isn’t just her husband‑to‑be.
He’s her true, fated mate—chosen by the moon goddess herself.
Torn between duty and desire, pride and passion, Mia must navigate a dangerous new world of power, politics, and primal attraction. Will she surrender to the bond that ties her to Xavier, or fight it and risk tearing their packs—and their hearts—apart?
When love is written in the stars but sealed by force, the answer may lie in the secrets they both carry… and in the moon’s unforgiving light.

His lips brushed mine, and for one reckless heartbeat, I believed it was real.
Then my mate’s voice cut through the air.
Rhael his eyes burning with hurt, as if he hadn’t been the one to reject me for being an Omega.
Auren’s arm tightened around me, his growl silencing him, staking a claim that was never meant to last.
When the crowd was gone, his tone changed low, cold, merciless.
“No one’s watching now. Let go.”
And I did. Because I’d forgotten what I was to him
a lie dressed as a lover, a pawn pretending to matter.

"You really intrigue me, Nara," He flashes another smile, but it disappears just as fast.

A confession that makes my cheeks burn.

"I intrigue a lot of people." I try to control my breathing. "Most are always bad."

He shakes his head slowly, not wanting to pry his eyes away from my rising chest. "You intrigue me in a different sense."

"And what sense is that?"

"In the sense that I ask myself... why is it—" His neck bobs as he swallows hard, the tip of his finger now grazing the side of my uncovered thigh."—That I always find myself so drawn to you?"

"I was done being what others discarded. I would burn this entire pack to the ground before I let anyone take away the one thing I had left. Some wounds do not bleed. They hollow you out until survival is the only thing that remains."
Lyssara believed one truth above all else: a mate was sacred. The other half of your soul. A bond meant to be eternal.
Until Kaelrith looked at her with nothing but cold disgust.
The moment their eyes met, Lyssara saw no love, no recognition, no trace of the connection she had dreamed of her entire life. Instead, fate bound her to a man who wanted someone else.
Night after night, she watched him choose Vaelira, her own sister. Every tender word, every stolen moment, every promise of a future that should have been hers was given to another woman while Lyssara faded into the background.
Until she discovered a secret that changed everything.
A tiny heartbeat inside her.
Her child became her strength, her reason to survive, and the one thing she would protect at any cost.
Then Thalric appeared from the shadows. Scarred, dangerous, and untouched by her broken past. He did not try to save her. He simply saw her when everyone else turned away.
But when Lyssara finally learned to stand on her own, Kaelrith realized what he had lost.
Now the man who destroyed her must face the man who helped her rise.
Only one of them is worthy of her heart.

The cab driver warned me to stay away from the St. Helis Campus.

I should have listened.

On my first day at St. Helis University, I walked into a classroom and watched a student feed on another girl's neck — crimson eyes, no apology, just amusement when he caught me staring.

By nightfall, I'd been chased, cornered, and bled on by things that shouldn't exist.

Here's what I know: the fog never lifts in Ashford. The beautiful students who move without sound aren't students at all. And the glass dome at the center of campus — the one everyone warns me to avoid — is exactly where I need to go.

I came here following a dream and a broken star chart that shouldn't exist. I stayed because somewhere inside that dome is the answer to a voice that's been calling my name for a year.

My name is Faye Allen. I have no idea what I've walked into.

But I'm starting to think it's been waiting for me.

Raven Blaire is no ordinary profiler.

Brilliant, relentless, and haunted, her sharp instincts were born the night her twin sister, Zara, was murdered, and her killer vanished without a trace.

Years later, Raven is called back into the shadows when a string of high-profile murders rocks the city. Each victim is powerful. Each crime scene a macabre work of art. Each death tied to one of the seven deadly sins.

At the center of the storm stands Elijah Cross, a reclusive billionaire whose company links him to the victims. Cold, magnetic, and impossible to read, Elijah unsettles Raven from their very first encounter. His answers are too perfect, his gaze too knowing. And beneath it all, he feels unnervingly familiar.

As Raven dives deeper into the case, she’s taunted with evidence that her sister’s killer has returned. Every clue drags her further into the secret underworld of The Crimson Verse, a society of elites obsessed with “moral purification.” And again and again, Elijah is there—near the victims, near her, and in her head.

But when Raven uncovers a manifesto in Elijah’s home that predates the murders, everything shatters. Is he the mastermind she’s hunting or the only man who can help her stop the real killer?

Bound by a dangerous attraction and hunted by a sadistic murderer who knows their every weakness, Raven and Elijah must navigate a treacherous game where love, lies, and blood are indistinguishable. One truth becomes undeniable: the Sin Collector isn’t finished, and Raven may be his final masterpiece.

When I reached the location where I saw a man in silhouette, correctly he was looking like a beast, with long claws, and furs around his skin. It was the raging Beast that people have talked about for years now, I took a deep breath, as my body trembled in fear.
I attempted to run, but my feet felt so weak to even think of doing that, that's when I felt my hand being roughly pulled, and I was able to see his face, even more, his golden hue eyes were looking right at me.

Roseline was brought up from a small town, she was molested in the pack because, her mother died while giving birth to her.
For that she was given to the alpha beast, people expected her dead, but not knowing she would receive protection from the alpha beast himself.

I never asked to be special. I just wanted to survive.

When I got the scholarship to Caldera Academy, I thought it was my ticket out of a life of scraping by on the mainland. My magic was weak, messy, and hard to control, but they told me the Covenant Ritual would fix that. They told me I’d bond with a creature, balance my power, and finally belong.

They lied.

I didn't get a beautiful, glowing stallion or a friendly wind-hound. I bonded with Vesper—a shadow-manticore, a creature the world swore was extinct because they were too dangerous to live. Suddenly, I wasn't just a charity case anymore. I was a target.

Now, my roommate has gone missing, the teachers are covering it up, and the golden-boy warden, Julian Sterling, is watching my every move. But I’m not running. I’ve spent my whole life being afraid, and I’m done with it. If this school wants to treat me like a monster, I’ll show them exactly what a monster can do.

“Are you sure you want me to paint on something else other than the canvas? I asked, my eyes still on him as I slid my hand under his shirt, my fingers grazing the warm skin of his back as I dragged him closer by the waist.
“Well,” he whispered, “I don’t mind being your canvas.” He smirked wickedly. “Give it your best shot, Mr. Flame and Fleur. Turn me into a masterpiece.”

"If I ever have to get married to anyone, I swear on my life that it would not be you!" His index finger almost pushed into me as he pointed them at me and his eyes burned with the rage of hatred and anger.

"And let me make this clear to you Taylor, if—if at all you have your way with me being your husband...your mate," he corrected.

"I'd make sure I will be with other she-wolves and make sure you feel every pain of betrayal; I'll see to it that you feel how I felt when you killed my Odette," he said, walking closer to me. The back of my throat stung with tears that were already brimming.


Odette has always been the apple of everyone's eyes, even after her death. Meanwhile, Taylor was always overlooked, and hated by everyone. Everyone wished for her death --- including her parents, and Killian, her mate. She never had been loved by anyone, always in her sister's shadow but everything changed after her sister's death. Instead of being simply ignored, she was the object of hate, and to be bullied.

Taylor still bore all the guilt, even though she was the one chosen by the Moon Goddess, until she realised, Killian, who always thought Odette as his future Luna to be his mate turned out to be mated to her! Unable to bear the thought that the mate she always wished for to turn out to be the man, who always hated and taunted her, and even mistaking her for Odette, she was at the breaking point!

Determined, she forced Killian to accept her rejection. But what will happen when Killian realises the truth behind the plot, and instantly regrets it? Will he chase her back? Will Taylor forgive and accept him, or will she never forgive, and be with the man she's destined to be with?

Her husband only touched her when he needed an heir.
It took her vanishing for him to finally see her.
For five years as Alpha Kieran’s wife, Mira nearly died giving him a daughter—and received nothing but disdain from him and his family for bearing the “wrong” heir.
With every cold, calculated touch, she felt less like a mate and more like a vessel. A useful womb, kept only because the woman he truly loved couldn’t risk pregnancy.
The final betrayal? Her own daughter, slowly turned against her.
So Mira did the one thing they never expected:
She disappeared.
Now she’s back—not as the pleading Luna they broke, but as a force they can’t control. And when her eyes meet Kieran’s, there’s no warmth left. Only ice.
Watch an Alpha unravel as the woman he shattered becomes the one he can never have again.
Some regrets last forever.
This one is his.

“Your father shouldn't see us.” I said as he moved my back against the wall, I felt Dala ache in pleasure.

“I'm starting to not mind what my father thinks.” He said in my ear.

I bit my lips, “What do you mind Alpha Liam?” I whispered in his ears.

Liam Sandstorm heir to the Highest Alpha throne defiles his father and accepts his mate Brianna Crawford.

Brianna Crawford isn't just a werewolf, she has a lineage of witches in her blood. She was destined by the moon goddess to deliver her people from evil.

Brianna’s parents were murdered by Liam’s father.

How will Brianna react to this news especially after the acceptance.
Who will Liam protect? His mate or his throne?

Will Brianna accept her powers and protect her people from the evil falling before them?

HIS TO RUIN: HIS FERAL LUNA

Charlotte Scott was voted out of Ironveil Pack with two bags and a promise she made to herself in the dark. She survived. She rebuilt. And when Stonemack Pack opened its gates, she walked straight through them with revenge already decided.

Getting close to Lockwood was supposed to be strategy. It was never just strategy.

Now Charlotte is his Luna, his second chance mate, and the most dangerous wolf in two territories. She has a pack, a war, and a secret that could burn everything down. And somewhere across the border, the man who let her be banished is tearing the region apart looking for her.

She has everything she needs to destroy him.

The problem is the bond. And the fact that it has never once felt finished.

His to Ruin: His Feral Luna is the second book in the His to Ruin series — a dark werewolf romance about a banished mate's revenge, a second chance bond, and a love story that refuses to stay buried.

For ten years, Aria believed her mate bond with Alpha Declan was sacred. Then he began spending every night in her adopted sister's nursery, and each visit sent agony through Aria's wolf. Pregnant, publicly condemned, and threatened with exile, Aria does the one thing no one expects: she demands that the bond be broken.

Declan thinks rank, family, and the pack's worship will silence her. He has no idea she is carrying proof that can strip him of everything.

I died in an abandoned cabin in the pack's old lumberyard.
Wolfsbane burned through my veins. Pure silver chains bit into my wrists, charring the flesh down to the bone.
The news alarmed my husband, Alistair, the Alpha of the Riven Pack. Standing over my corpse, he couldn't fathom who would torture a woman so ruthlessly on his territory. Enraged, he swore to slaughter the killer himself.
He didn't know it was me.
I had been missing for seven days. Even with everyone telling him I was gone and something wasn't right, he insisted I was just throwing a fit.
That was until his mistress, Sylvie, ran to him in tears, clutching her cheek. She claimed I had publicly slapped her and thrown my late mother's necklace in her face.
Furious, he pulled out his phone to call me, demanding I crawl back and apologize immediately.
Instead, his Beta's trembling voice came through the speaker: "Alpha, we found this phone... in the abandoned cabin at the old lumberyard."

I found the thirteenth piece of evidence of Reid's affair today.

Black lace panties, shoved deep between his car seats.

The first time, it was designer lipstick in his glove box. "Oh, that's mine," my friend Mia shrugged. "Must've fallen out when Reid gave me a ride."

The sixth time, a hotel key card in his console. "I borrowed his car for a business trip," my brother Owen explained calmly. "Stop being so paranoid, Nadia."

Thirteen times. Thirteen perfect excuses.

When I confront Reid with the panties, he just makes a phone call.

On speaker, Mia and Owen claim the underwear is theirs—some late-night hookup in my fiancé's back seat. "You're being ridiculous, Nadia," they snap in unison. "You're getting married. Start acting like it. Trust him."

I watch Reid's face, that innocent mask he wears so well.

Then I smile.

Because I bought those panties myself. I planted them there.

And now I finally know who's been his accomplice all along.

Lydia has always tried to play by the rules: work hard, be honest, get good grades, and good things will come. For the most part, it’s gotten her far. She’s entering her senior year at Aegis and is on track to get her brother a decent lawyer and out of prison, while their grandfather is still well enough.

Soon after catching her boyfriend fucking her mentor, the Fortuna Nike informs her of the rules and conditions of her scholarship that weren’t even hidden in the fine print: an arranged marriage with whatever member they choose.

If she complies, her brother’s freedom is guaranteed. It should be an easy decision, but the thought leaves her shaking with dread.

Just as she resigns herself to the demands of the Fortuna Nike, Dorian Knox, a well-known playboy of the Fortuna Centurions, approaches her with a mutually beneficial—if insulting—offer: pretend to date him and bypass the Society’s matchmaking.

Unfortunately, Dorian is also the asshole who got her fired.


Dorian knows what he looks like, what he drinks like, what he fucks like, and most importantly, what he plays like. He revels in every wild party and vicious check into the boards as it’s the closest he’ll ever get to telling the Society to fuck off.

After his center’s high school sweetheart romance falls apart, the Society decides that Dorian needs a rebrand to help manage the fallout of the Centurions’ image. Threatened with losing everything he’s worked for and the freedom of his younger sister, he decides to play along… to the very letter of the Society’s laws.

He just needs a woman to play at being his girlfriend who won’t catch feelings and will do as she’s told.

The irritatingly no-nonsense maid who sets his blood on fire will have to do.

"No wolf. No family. Harmless. Useful. The second I am done with her, the Luna title is yours."
Eira Crawford heard those words through her husband's office door.
For four years, she had been Sebastian Hale's hidden mate. She managed his household, entertained his relatives, cleaned up his messes, and lived on the three thousand dollars he gave her each month like charity. Even buying a new coat required an explanation.
But for his first love, he casually prepared three hundred thousand dollars in research funding.
To Sebastian, Eira was nothing more than a wolfless Omega from an orphanage. A quiet, obedient wife with no pack, no power, and no value beyond being useful. He had never introduced her publicly as his Luna. His family treated her like a servant. His sweetheart mocked her as a woman who could only survive by clinging to an Alpha.
So Eira stopped crying.
She recorded the affair, filed for mate dissolution, and placed the divorce papers in front of Sebastian. Even then, he thought she was throwing a tantrum. He signed without hesitation, certain she would come crawling back once she realized no one else would want a discarded, wolfless Omega.
He was wrong.
The woman he left at home washing dishes was a Stanford-trained electrical engineer. The "useless" wife he ignored was the hidden chief engineer behind a national self-developed chip project. Her movements were classified. Her disappearance could alert the federal authorities. Her name, once revealed, was enough to shake the entire scientific community.
And Sebastian knew nothing.
After walking out of his house with nothing but her freedom, Eira crossed paths with Killian Sterling, the coldest and most powerful Alpha in the north. He did not know her name yet, but his wolf recognized something in her that everyone else had missed.
Meanwhile, Sebastian finally realized that Eira was not bluffing.
He searched the entire city like a madman. For the first time in four years, he publicly called her his wife. He demanded she return. He begged for another chance.
But by then, Eira was no longer waiting in his house.
She was seated at the Sterling Pack's dinner table, dressed with quiet confidence, while the most feared Alpha in North America stood beside her.
In front of everyone, Killian Sterling placed his hand at her back and said coldly,
"Eira is not anyone's discarded Omega."
"She is my Luna."

He was supposed to be my saviour.

Julian Blackwood was the golden boy of high society. The billionaire saint who pulled me out of debt.

I owed him my life.

Until he decided he actually wanted it.

He asked for three things.

A single signature.
Six months of submission.
A forced move into his penthouse to play the role of his perfect, devoted prize.

"Julian" thinks he cornered a helpless girl who will just smile and obey.

He is about to find out I bite back.

So I crossed his threshold with a plan: to tear an arrogant rich man apart.

But I was dead wrong.

The man waiting for me behind those closed doors is ruthless.

He is dangerously possessive.

And the saint I thought I signed my life over to is nothing but a brilliant illusion.

Zoe Marshall thought her marriage was unbreakable. She built her life around Ethan Carter—powerful, brilliant, and untouchable. Until his betrayal shattered her so deeply that filing for divorce became her only way to breathe again. She thought leaving him would set her free. But freedom is never that simple when your ex-husband is a ruthless billionaire who turns regret into obsession.
Ethan is determined to win her back, to claim what he believes is still his—no matter what it takes. Just as Zoe begins to rediscover her strength, Mason King enters her life: dangerous, wealthy, and hiding secrets darker than midnight shadows. He offers her protection and a passion she never imagined. But his world is deadly, and his past is painted with blood.
When an enemy obsessed with Ethan threatens Zoe’s life to erase her forever, and Mason’s hidden demons resurface, she finds herself trapped between two powerful men fighting for her love... or her destruction. Who will truly protect her? Who will destroy her? Because when love becomes a battlefield, only the strongest hearts survive—and Zoe isn’t letting anyone else decide her fate.

Isolde’s life was full of love and joy. She was set to be High priestess of the makkari, but everything changed in a single night when she lost everything at the hands of someone she thought she could trust.

For centuries, she has been on the run, helping the supernatural community under the cloak of anonymity while she works to clear her name and save the very people after her from destruction.

Enemies are closing in, but an unexpected complication befalls her when she realises she’s been fated to someone who wants her species exterminated. After all, an evil chance seldom comes alone.
