Alexandria has spent her entire life preparing for a race she was never meant to run. Hidden far from the hierarchy that would kill her if they knew who she was, she was raised with one truth: if you ever enter the Blood Race, you must win it.
Because losing isn’t just death.
It’s enslavement.
It’s having her power tethered, her identity exposed, and her son executed for the crime of being born.
Alex is forced into the 100th Blood Race, a brutal gauntlet where thousands enter and only ten survive. The trials are designed to break bodies and minds: enchanted forests that hunt you, predators disguised as competitors, and elimination rounds where mercy is a liability.
Alex expects danger.
She doesn’t expect him.
Gavin, a knight of the Queen’s Guard, is the one person she never thought she’d see again—the stranger from a single night years ago, the father of her son, the man whose presence still pulls at her like a live wire under her skin. Their connection is impossible to ignore: a hum that grows into shared emotion, shared instinct, and eventually shared thought. But Gavin is sworn to the hierarchy she’s hiding from, and Alex knows trusting him could cost her everything.
Yet every time she tries to keep her distance, fate forces them together—through battles, near‑deaths, and the quiet moments between trials when the world feels briefly safe. Gavin becomes the one person who sees her strength, her fear, and the fire she’s trying to keep contained.
But Alex cannot afford distractions.
Not when predators like Sebastian mark her as prey.
Not when every trial pushes her closer to exposure.
Winning the Blood Race is her only chance at freedom.
Losing means chains, death, or worse—her son in the hands of the hierarchy.

When the gods slaughtered her sisters a thousand years ago, Asterra lost more than her family.
She lost her power. Her immortality. And the only part of herself worth saving.
Now the legendary Goddess Enchantress is fading into weakness, hunted by enemies who would devour a fallen goddess whole. Her only hope lies within the Immortal Game — a brutal celestial competition where gods, monsters, and ancient killers battle for a single prize:
The Time Amulet.
An artifact capable of rewriting the past itself.
But Asterra knows she cannot survive the Game alone.
So she commits the unforgivable.
Using the last of her dying magic, she binds four deadly immortals to her soul:
a seductive incubus who manipulates desire like a weapon,
a suicidal vampire desperate for true death,
a ruthless werewolf king obsessed with dominance,
and a terrifying demon who enjoys bloodshed far too much.
Now, if she suffers… they suffer.
If she dies… they die.
Forced into protecting the woman who stole their freedom and destroyed their own chances at the prize, the four monsters vow to hate her until the very end.
Unfortunately for them, the bond between them is becoming something far more dangerous than slavery.
Obsession. Desire. Addiction.
And in a game where betrayal is worshipped and love can become a weapon, Asterra may discover that resurrecting the dead comes at a far darker cost than losing her soul.

When They Kennedy is accused of dating the billionaire for his money, she finds other means to take care of her mom's health instead. Yet, the rumours costs her, her relationship with Ashton Ryder, one of the most eligible bachelor in Australia.

They finally split and claim to move on, but Fate takes Ashton back to Australia when he hears that Freya his sister was found unconscious.

The sinister situation takes him back into Thea's life as her new Boss and CEO of a company he bought.

Kidnapped by pirates.
Trapped at sea.
Stuck sharing a cabin with the captain.
Siriana has survived tavern brawls, drunken sailors, and the worst the docks could throw at her—but nothing prepared her for life aboard the Ghost.
Captain Fisk Harrow is clever, infuriating, and entirely too interested in the stubborn tavern girl who refuses to fear him.
But when a rival pirate closes in and the ocean becomes a battlefield, Siriana must decide who’s more dangerous.
The enemies chasing the ship…
Or the pirate captain stealing her heart.

The events begin with the kidnapping of Selene, who until that moment was living a normal, monotonous life as a human being, until she later discovers, after her kidnapping by the vampire king, Kaiden, that she is a creature with supernatural destructive powers and very dangerous to all creatures of the earth and on it, she is the daughter of the sent sun. To earth as an instrument of forgiveness for the fallen who were exiled to it, cursed is the curse of blood and darkness, so I called them the creatures of darkness or vampires, and I also sent as an instrument of punishment to Sirana the amphibious creatures who were born from the offspring of (Zein), the Great Satan who has been trying to procreate. A disgusting, voracious, disgusting character.
Will Celine cooperate with Kayden, who kidnapped her to prevent her from falling into the hands of his enemy? Or will you rebel against it?

I am sitting on a small purple love seat, tucked into a nook beside a fake fireplace at Alexander's, an upscale club/hotel in Manhattan. I’m dressed in a tight black mini-dress and Italian leather heels. And I am watching my husband flirt with another woman…
And… I want him to do this... I think.

I had picked her out myself...

“Her,” I said to Zane. She was sitting alone at the bar, high cheekbones, wavy hair with a shoulder-length blunt-cut, smooth golden skin, and striking brown eyes with a cat-eye look to them… She wore a tiny black micro-mini skirt and cream cropped top, showing off smooth, toned abs.

He had followed my gaze to her and smiled.

“Honey, you have good taste in women,” he said. He looked at me again, and I nodded. And then he had stood and walked to the bar, without looking back....


Natalie and Zane had been married for eight years. And… though Natalie deeply desired her man, pretty girls had always made her a bit... disarmed. Once Zane discovered Natalie's fantasy, he was only too eager to help her fulfill it… As long as he could watch.

But, will Natalie and Zane's relationship withstand another woman? Enter Sophia and the world of Alexander Accardi fashions, and Alexander's Members Only sex club...
Natalie and Zane's fears and desires collide as they enter into a world they never expected and explore secrets, fantasies, and the boundaries of their relationship...

Tearing her clothes into two halves he asked.
"Who did these to you, who hurt you"
His voice rang through her ears,
His voice calm but threatening when he mentioned her name, she looked up at him immediately, the sparks running through her body, as he covered her body with his, preventing the other occupants who was standing, to see what belonged to him. Bella watched as they shivered with fear as her mate, the vampire king growled with anger.
"Him, he hurt me"
Bella said, and with a loud growl, Blade ordered,
"Bring me a dagger!"
Blade shouted, It was not a request, it was an order.
Bella Manchor was the omega to the air winder pack, she was not just an omega, she was a wolf less werewolf. Her life was difficult, but became like hell when she got mated to the most wicked, arrogant, deadly and vile alpha, alpha Lucas, who used her for his sexual pleasures and afterwards, rejected her, but as fate may have it, she ran away from the pack, running into the hands of the vampires.
Blade Hemlock is the vampire king, he is known to be ruthless, dangerous, dark, no regard to any law. The rogues attacking on the vampires, in their lands. Then he sent few of the best men to guard the land, where the rogues mostly attacked. Unfortunately, a girl, a werewolf ran into their lands, and his men took her, as a defiler. But she was not just a werewolf defiler, who had come running into his land, it was his mate, his long awaited mate has ran into his hands, hurt, with so much injuries on her body.
Would Bella accept her mate after what had been done to her, would she want to be loved again.

When twenty-one-year-old Nyra Valeis dies in a burst of forbidden blue fire, she expects oblivion.
Instead, she resurrects in a storm of golden flames awakening the long-extinct power of the Phoenix Queens and exposing herself to the realm she’s spent her life hiding from.

Now the entire kingdom of Erevar knows the truth:
The last Phoenixborn lives and her rebirth has cracked open an ancient prophecy.

Hunted by the terrifying Hollow King, a corrupted fire god whose awakening could burn the world, Nyra is forced into an uneasy alliance with Aric Thornfall the shadow-wielding assassin who once tried to kill her. Their path is riddled with cursed magic, fractured memories, betrayers in disguise, and truths powerful enough to shatter fate itself.

Her life and the Hollow King’s resurrection are bound by blood.
Her death will wake him.
Her survival will doom him.
And her heart may endanger everything she’s trying to save.

Traiver waited ten years to make the hunters pay. He planned to break their daughter slowly, completely, until her pain balanced his own. He never expected her to ask for it.
"Hurt me," she whispered, offering her throat and her guilt. "Do whatever you need."
Traiver's fingers trembled. He hated her for this. Hated that she saw the wound beneath the monster. Hated that when he finally touched her, it wasn't to destroy. He took everything she offered. Then he took more.
Hatred twisted into hunger. Cruelty blurred into possession. Every punishment became a claim, every touch a dangerous temptation. Navelle's innocence both tormented and captivated him, threatening to unravel the vengeance he had spent a decade perfecting.
But vengeance has a price. When the hunters' daughter carries his child, Traiver must choose. The revenge that fed his demons, or the family that could finally starve them?

As Allen dives deeper into these encounters, he unravels the secret behind his miraculous eyes—a secret that seems to be intricately tied to the "gods"…

If Tessa Rhodes had a list of things she could not stand in this world, Derek Saunders would be at the very top

Between school and her mom’s chemotherapy, Tessa does not have room for distractions, drama, or boys like him. She has a plan. Get in, work for her money, and get out.

Derek Saunders used to be untouchable. The school’s star quarterback, the golden boy everyone adored, until one scandal turned him into a liability no one wants to talk about. Now he is all sharp edges and silence, carrying a reputation he refuses to explain and a future that no longer feels guaranteed.

Then a job offer lands in Tessa’s lap. One that pays too well to ignore and places her inside Derek’s house, under his parents’ rules, and far closer to his life than she ever intended.

Derek does not make it easy. He is guarded, resentful, and clearly unimpressed by her presence. Tessa is determined not to care. This is temporary. This is survival.

What Tessa will not see coming is the attraction she will feel toward the one person she cannot stand.

"You will comply. You will breed. You will save humanity. You have no other purpose."

Sera Ashford thought she'd escaped the Breeding Registry. For three years, she lived in the shadows of Neo-Genesis City's Fringe, hiding her genetic classification as a Class-A Breeder—one of only 247 fertile women left on Earth after the Sterility Plague.

Then the Tribunal found her.

Dragged from her illegal clinic where she'd been saving lives without authorization, Sera is given a choice: accept assignment to the Genesis Repopulation Program or watch her younger sister—the only family she has left—be reclassified as "expendable."

The Program is humanity's last hope: genetically compatible partners are matched and confined together until pregnancy is achieved. It's clinical. Mandatory. Survival.

Sera agrees to save her sister. What she doesn't know is that she's not just any Class-A Breeder—she's a Platinum Match, compatible with multiple elite Wardens, the genetically enhanced soldiers who survived the plague with superior DNA.

Three Wardens, to be exact.

Kade Voss—the ruthless Commander of the North Sector garrison, a man forged in war who's never failed a mission and sees Sera as his final duty to humanity.
Dr. Ryker Vale—the brilliant geneticist who designed the matching algorithm, whose own infertility makes him bitter until he discovers he's compatible with exactly one woman: Sera.

Damon Cross—the rebel Warden who was exiled to the Fringe and forced back into service, who sees the Program as slavery and Sera as his chance at redemption.

The Protocol is clear: Sera will live with all three men in a shared Genesis Suite until conception with the "optimal match." They're supposed to cooperate. Share. Accept that this is bigger than any one person's desires.

Except none of them can.

Kade wants her exclusively, believing his superior genetics make him the right choice.

Four there are meant to be,
Only four to rule the sea.
If one should pass, another be born,
To replace the last and keep the four.

A fifth was born, to replace the passed,
But a lie it was on the four's behalf.
A trick, a lie, a mistake all the same,
The fifth will forever be shamed.


A girl, who can create pearls in a land where only fire reigns; A boy, who is framed as a prince in order to survive; A plot, that will shake the throne until the end of time.

Bethany Wayne is a simple twenty four year old nurse at a junior high school. Like every other person at her age, she is desperate to find a mate. She hopes that they will be simple, loving and understanding. She hopes that they will accept her and fulfill her dreams of having a happily ever after.

Not long after her twenty fourth birthday, her mate finally makes an appearance.
What she doesn't expect is her mate is The Carson Gray. The richest, most eligible bachelor in town and the epitome of beauty. And worst of all, The Carson Gray is a brother to one of the students at the junior high school and one of the new school board members.

To avoid the unnecessary chaos, she seeks help of an old friend who helps her mask her scent in case she runs into Carson unexpectedly.
It seems to work for a while and as she and Carson keep running into each other in pretty unpleasant encounters, she realizes that she made the right decision. There is no way Carson Gray is capable of being her dream mate. He is arrogant, cold, heartless and narcissistic.

The medicine seems to mask Bethany's scent for a while until it's a birthday party of one of Carson's and Bethany's mutual friends. She forgets all about the medicine and goes swimming, and the water successfully wipes off all the scent- masking medicine.

Carson obviously finds out and to say that he is angry is an understatement.
He wants to know why Bethany denied him a chance of being his fated mate. He wants to know why Bethany thinks the worst of him. He has so many questions which Bethany answers in all honesty.

She tells him how irritating he is, how much of a showoff.

"I'd been lonely lately. Having accrued enough wealth to no longer need to go on the raids I was well off.
Now I just needed a little slave girl to warm my bed.
I'd considered a docile thing with a warm spot for me. But instead, I was intrigued by the spitfire commanding she'd not be touched.
I saw her body and thought her too tiny but when I touched her, I wanted her.
And what I want. I get.
Afterall, I'm a wolf at heart. And a full moon is coming.
She'll learn the way of things. One way or another."

Ayla:

I grew up shielded from the Mafia lifestyle... until a merciless killer got his eyes on me.
Alessio Razone. Mysterious, intense, and ruthless. A decade my senior, with enough influence to bind me in an arranged marriage from which there's no escape.
His demand for obedience is startling. I'm treated more like a possession than a spouse. Yet, why does his rough, possessive demeanor feel oddly fitting?
With each surrender, I sink deeper into darkness. Unveiling desires I never knew existed.
Desires I should resist.
It would be simple to surrender. But if I relent, will he shatter me?

Alessio:

Ayla's innocence is a blank canvas, and I'm determined to leave my mark. Indelibly.
The offspring of our family's greatest adversary, she's mine to shape however I please.
She'll submit to me, or I'll annihilate her.
I'm too damaged for love, but I'll relish in molding Ayla into my obedient plaything. When she complies, I'll ignite her passion. When she defies, she'll face consequences.
Our union is nothing more than this. She's my fixation, but she'll never truly comprehend me.
If I allow Ayla to glimpse behind my façade, she'll discover my true self.
And that would spell ruin for us both.

Twenty-year-old rising TV reporter Alisha Murphy seems to have it all—beauty, brains, a perfect career, and an attractive boyfriend. But her latest assignment takes a dark turn when she investigates the chilling disappearances of eleven young women, all with the same initials: A.M.

As she follows the clues, she uncovers a terrifying pattern that leads back to one place—her boyfriend’s bar. What Alisha finds hidden beneath the floorboards is a nightmare beyond imagination. Now, she’s the final piece in a twisted ritual, and the only way to survive is to play along... until she can strike.

He doesn't remember marrying me. His body hasn't gotten the memo.
I was his legally married wife. Now I'm the housekeeper who flinches when he raises his voice … because five years ago, his family erased me, forged my death certificate, and buried the only proof that I ever existed.
He looks at me like a stranger but his hands reach for me in his sleep. They go still when I'm close as if part of him is fighting to remember what his mind won't let him have.
I hum our wedding song outside his door every night. I tell myself it's just habit.
Then one night, he opens the door. Tears in his eyes. "I don't remember you but my heart is screaming your name."
I should walk away. I should let him marry the woman his family picked instead.
But I'm done being a ghost in my own marriage.

Rue thought her biggest challenge would be keeping a smile at her father's wedding anniversary, enduring her stepmother's cold stares and her stepsister Cassie's provocations. But when her most trusted friend Jessica sends out a distress call, everything changes.

It was a trap.

When Rue awakens, she finds herself betrayed by her closest friend, her reputation destroyed, and even her father forced to disown her. In desperation, she's rescued by the mysterious Kyle Dag—leader of the Shadow Wolf Pack, a notorious rebel.

But at the same time, Kyle offers a dangerous bargain。

When the universe undergoes a brutal digital integration, Earth is dismantled and compressed into ,The Crucible—a colossal, 100-floor vertical mega-dungeon governed by a faceless, ruthless System AI. In this new reality, humanity is treated as a harvestable resource, forced to fight monsters and climb floors under rigid, gamified laws where a single mistake means permanent erasure.

Enter Julian Vance, a brilliant but physically weak data analyst. Unlike standard warriors who rely on brute-force magic, Julian unlocks a rare, passive class archetype: The Resourceful Climber, driven by a hyper-analytical mind and an anomalously high Savvy attribute. Julian can see the raw code underlying reality, allowing him to spot hidden system bugs, structural glitches, and environmental vulnerabilities.

His life gains a desperate purpose when he witnesses the tragic sacrifice of Lyra Thorne, a powerful Sentinel warrior. Driven by a profound attachment to her, Julian uses his deep understanding of the system's mechanics to intentionally trigger a fatal data-overflow error. Instead of dying, he forces a localized timeline rollback, keeping his memories and his permanent Savvy stat while the rest of the world resets.

To save Lyra from her scripted deaths, Julian must exploit ,The Core Loophole. He uses outside-the-box creativity to turn the glitched environment into a weapon, outsmarting elite monsters and corrupt player guilds. However, the System AI is actively learning from his resets. With every loop, a new "Server Patch" is deployed, rewriting dungeon layouts and closing his safety loopholes. Julian must outpace a learning machine, master forbidden glitch-crafting, and build an independent empire to break the time loop and challenge the higher-dimensional architects of reality itself.

She was supposed to be invisible but he made her his obsession.

Five years ago, Eva Salazar left Crescent Bay in the middle of the night — without goodbye, without explanation, and without Luca Mercer. The future they’d planned together went up in smoke, and Eva buried the pieces beneath the bright lights of a distant city. Now, circumstances have pulled her back to the small coastal town she swore she'd never return to — and back into the orbit of the only man who ever truly knew Noah Mercer hasn’t forgiven Eva for leaving. He tried. But the unanswered questions and the ache she left behind never really faded. As the town’s fire chief, he's learned how to control the flames — except the ones she sparks the second she walks back into his life.

Tension flares as the two are forced to work together on the town’s biggest fundraiser, a fire relief gala that Eva once helped build from the ground up. But time hasn’t healed all wounds, and neither of them are who they used to be. Secrets simmer beneath the surface, old feelings reignite, and the past threatens to unravel everything.

As the line between love and resentment blurs, Eva and Luca must decide: do they let the past consume them, or risk everything for a future that still burns at the edges?
Burning the Edge is a heart-stirring story of forgiveness, unresolved passion, and the kind of love that refuses to die — no matter how far you run.

"You're my mate, but I won't claim you as my mate. I cannot accept a vulnerable and misguided rogue as my Luna.

Consequently, I must reject you, and you will remain my slave forever , until I decide otherwise," Dante told Ashina .

Dante rejected his mate, Ashina , when he discovered she was an omega, reducing her to a mere slave.

However, what happens when his wolf's instincts can't resist her, and the hidden truths about her lead him to reconsider his decision?

WHEN THE GOLDEN BLOOM AWAKENS AND THE HUNTER’S BLADE TREMBLES,
LIGHT AND SHADOW WILL COLLIDE ONCE MORE—
AND THE WAR OF AGES WILL EITHER END… OR BEGIN AGAIN.
Ariya King thought her life was simple—exams, parties, and a father who warned her too much.
Until the mark on her neck killed her best friend.
Blamed. Expelled. Broken by guilt.
She’s sent to South Korea to live with a mother she believed was dead… only to discover that nothing about her life has ever been real.
Because the mark isn’t just a curse.
It’s a signal.
Ariya is not ordinary—she is the center of an ancient prophecy, a power long buried, and a war that never truly ended.
Now, something is watching.
Waiting.
And as shadows begin to close in, one truth becomes impossible to ignore–
She was never meant to live a normal life.
She was born for one purpose:
To end a war… or become the reason it begins again.

She was born into a cage of blood and lies.
Selena Rossi knows two things: her mafia don father’s empire is built on corpses, and her mother’s killer walks free.

He’s the ghost in her nightmares.
Rook. Her father’s deadliest shadow. A name whispered in fear. An assassin without a face… until he’s forced into her light as her 24/7 bodyguard.

Mutual hatred is their shield.
Trapped together as bullets fly, Selena sees the flicker of pain behind his ice-cold eyes. He sees the crack in her armor. When chaos erupts, a savage, stolen kiss ignites a fire neither can control.

Then she uncovers the truth.
Security footage. A masked killer removing his disguise.
Rook’s face.
Pulling the trigger.

Her world shatters. Trust bleeds out. She vanishes into the night, leaving only betrayal behind.

Three years. Three lifetimes.
Selena is a ghost now too. But her father’s empire is crumbling. Enemies close in. A senator is dead. The FBI’s net tightens.

He walks back into her war.
Rook. Broken. Haunted. He carries a digital bomb – evidence that could save her family… or bury them.

“Your mother’s death wasn’t my mission. It was my damnation.”
But the shadows hold darker truths. The real puppetmaster pulls the strings.

As bullets tear through a warehouse of ghosts, loyalties shatter.
Her father faces a traitor’s gun.
Rook takes a bullet meant for her.
A recording holds the key to salvation… and damnation.

He thrusts the evidence into her hands.
“Save them… or let it burn.”

Sirens wail. Blood pools. One choice remains.
But the deadliest secret isn’t who pulled the trigger.
It’s why the gun was loaded.

Justice has a price. Is love the bullet… or the shield?

My name is Shannica. I was abandoned... But I remarried. And I met this six-year-old child, Xenon, the young Chairman's son and the arrogant heir of Lincoln Family who I didn't expect that I would grow fond of. And as soon as I step inside their mansion, I have found my purpose in life and decided on one thing; 'I would protect this child and love him as my own.'

Though it all started with a loveless marriage between me and his father... We became a family and I started loving not just the kid, but also the young Chairman, Xander Lincoln, who longed for his dead wife up until now.

Will I be able to stay on their side for a long time? When will Xander open his heart and see me as his wife? Will I just remain as the billionaire's remarriage contract wife or our love will grow and turn into reality?

Marriage was supposed to bring Sophia happiness, but she faced betrayal.

After her grandmother’s death, Sophia inherited her wealth, making her the richest woman in the city.

The only thing missing in her life was a husband. She met Liam, a handsome man who was not wealthy, but she fell in love with him. They married soon after, but Liam had secret motives. He was not in love with her; in fact, he was gay.

He didn't have feelings for Sophie because he had feelings for men. Liam invited his brother Lucas to live with them for his plan to succeed.

Lucas’s presence would distract Sophie, as he was irresistible to women, thus allowing Liam to collect evidence of her affair. Once he had enough proof, he would divorce her and present it to the court. Making it all seem like Sophie had an affair with her brother-in-law when he was the one who planned it all.

Despite being unaware of the setup, Sophia found herself attracted to Lucas. However, things took a complicated turn when Lucas fell in love with her.

Now the question is, will Lucas reveal the truth about Liam’s plan, or will he stand by and watch the woman he loves get betrayed because she doesn't love him back? It's a tale of forbidden love, intertwining secrets, betrayal, and vengeance.

One day, while working at her job, she was approached by a middle-aged woman who offered her an unusual position with a very high salary. The job came with a dangerous condition.

Synopsis

In a single devastating evening, he lost it all. His promising career, his hard-earned place at a top-tier university, and the woman he planned to marry. Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, brutally beaten by those he once trusted, and cast aside like trash, Damien Vale stood on the crumbling edge of an abandoned overpass, ready to let the darkness claim him.

Until a crimson interface ignited in the air before him:

[Rebate System Activated]

Every connection he forges, every calculated risk he takes, and every ounce of influence he invests in the right people will return a hundredfold — in power, wealth, secrets, and absolute control.

From the lowest pit of betrayal and ruin, Damien is about to rewrite his destiny. What was taken from him will be returned ten times over. Those who destroyed him will watch everything they cherish crumble. Armed with an unstoppable system and a merciless new mindset, he will build an empire from the shadows, surround himself with unstoppable allies, and savor every second of his ruthless comeback.

Damien Vale is no longer the man they broke.
He is the storm they never saw coming

The second book in the "Alpha" series, you CAN read it as a stand-alone book, yet I highly recommend to read the first book to understand characters and events happening better.

I'll explain, on one condition," it was him. The man, who could give me all answers I've been terrified of, yet weirdly excited to hear out loud.

"What's your condition, then?" I asked, already intrigued in what is it. I mean, he can ask for a lot of things, yet since I haven't taken responsibility for the pack, I'm still nothing more than the Alphas daughter. I'm broke; I don't have a job, I don't own anything, except the motorcycle I've gotten for my birthday. Technically I'll be broke until I take over the pack, that is IF I will decide to.

"Reject me," he stated.

She went into the forest to hunt so she could bring food home and survive the winter, unaware that something far more dangerous had already caught her scent and followed her back.

When the beast comes to their farm, it is not by chance.

He knows she is there.

And her stepfather sees an opportunity to make more coin.

For a handful of coin and without hesitation, he offers her up in exchange for more than they have ever had, sealing her fate with a bargain she never agreed to.

Taken into a cursed land ruled by a creature feared by all, she is forced into a life she never chose, bound to a beast who is as cold and unforgiving as the winter itself. He is not a man, not fully, and the darkness within him is something no one has ever been able to control.

She should hate him for what he is and for the power he holds over her, yet the longer she remains in his world, the more the truth begins to unravel. There is something deeper beneath the cruelty, something hidden within the curse, and something in her that seems to answer it.

As the line between monster and man begins to blur, she is forced to face a truth she never expected, because surviving the beast may not be the hardest part.

Learning to trust him might be.

Kept in captivity, she is coddled and cared for, treated more like a savior than a slave. But when Brenna discovers the truth behind the myth of the fearsome warriors, she must choose: remain a captive or give into love as the Alpha's true mate.  Author's note: The Alpha's Captive is a compilation of previously published titles, Sold to the Berserkers & Mated to the Berserkers.

Being bullied by her pack and rejected by her mate, Angel decided to leave her pack and find a new life for her. Away from those people who hurt her and her mate who betrayed her.

After being away for too long, Angel finally came back but not because of free will but because her new Alpha decided to help her old pack because of the uncompetitive management of her most hated person, her mate.

She will make him pay for what he's done to her and make sure that no one else can hurt her in that pack.

Thaddeus Quell was nobody: a live-in husband turned doormat, slapped for clean floors, bankrupted by his mother-in-law's greed, cuckolded while he fetched groceries. Then his house burned with his wife, daughter, and tormentor inside. He rushed in. He saved them. He fell through fire.  

And something answered.  

A crimson ledger bloomed in his dying vision: touch the dying, see their death, let it happen for money, save them and pay with your life. Now Thaddeus is a billionaire walking corpse—gray hair spreading, organs failing, ghosts whispering vengeance. Every innocent he saves binds a fallen angel to his side. Every villain he lets die (or kills) feeds Echo, the growing shadow that wants the ledger for Hell's throne.  

He wanted to die.  

The system said no.  

Heaven said fight.  

Echo said come closer.  

Now Thaddeus must decide: become the balance-keeper who reaps the wicked and spares the helpless, or let Echo harvest his soul and every child still screaming in the dark.

They call Dante Moretti the ruthless and heartless mafia boss. Seven years ago, he made a

Scared for her life, Elara ran away. Now, an entirely different person has returned to New York.
She doesn’t want his money, and she certainly doesn’t want his heart, unless it’s on her
operating table.
The girl he destroyed is dead. The woman who replaced her is the only one who can keep him
alive. He’s dying for a second chance, but he’s just waiting for the first cut.

In the neon depths of Erevale a city where magic is outlawed and souls are sold to fuel machines Lyra Veyne survives by brewing black-market elixirs and pretending she’s ordinary. But when her blood ignites with golden flame and a voice whispers from within the last dragon’s voice her carefully hidden life explodes into chaos.

The Ascendant Order, rulers of this mechanized world, have one command: capture the witch who wields true dragonfire. They believe Lyra is the final key to restoring their artificial heavens, built from the souls of slain dragons.

Hunted through burning streets and haunted by memories that aren’t hers, Lyra must choose between silence and rebellion. To master her power, she must walk the Path of the Ashen Heart a forbidden cultivation that refines strength through loss, rage, and rebirth.

But the fire inside her is alive. Ancient. Hungry. And as the war between mortals and gods reignites, Lyra faces a terrible truth:
to save the world, she may have to burn the heavens themselves.

"What? Cassy has found her mate.” I asked in shock.

"Yes, and guess who.” My best friend Lani asked.

"Actually, I have no idea. Who is her mate? Tell me quickly! I want to know.”

‘I feel jealous that she already met her mate while we still don't have one until now.’ I said to my wolf Slade.

‘Don't worry Angel, the Moon Goddess is just preparing us for our mate. At the right time, we will meet them.’ My wolf answered.

She is a loner and she likes it that way.

He is the new guy at her school, all strong and possessive alpha male.

To her utter and complete dismay, he takes interest in her... Her life shall never be the same again.
