As I pat my eyes dry, I hear the door open, and there stands Jack.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Jack," I quickly close my eyes. "I am so sorry. I wanted to surprise you, but..." I barely finish my sentence when I feel his finger on my mouth.
I just stand there, blushing because I know he's standing right in front of me, naked.

Jack takes my hand slowly and puts it on his chest. In the few seconds I could see him before I closed my eyes, I could tell he was muscular with dark chest hair, looking very manly. Just with my hand on his chest, I feel the heat in my face, and I start to breathe heavily.

"Open your eyes, Allie," I hear him say, but I squeeze them shut even tighter. The next moment, he takes my hand and starts moving it slowly down his abs.


Allie, a human girl who has never fallen in love before.
Jack, a Werewolf prince who could never find his true Mate.

When I rushed to the party, sweaty and out of breath, I saw Alex sitting in the center, surrounded by hot, blonde girls in sexy skirts.

"Elodie, why do you think the great Alex would choose a nerd like you to be his girlfriend?" someone hissed at me. "It’s because he lost a bet."

I was a "nobody" on campus, madly in love with the ice hockey captain, Alex. I would run over ten kilometers in the freezing winter at 3 AM to buy him the donuts he wanted. When he lost a bet on a game, I would wear ridiculous clothes and sing loudly in the library. He even made me jump into a frozen lake in a snowy winter to find a bracelet dropped by the cheerleading captain, and I agreed.

I became the joke of the campus, but I didn’t care. As long as he accepted me, I was willing to do anything. But later I found out that the reason Alex accepted my pursuit was entirely because he lost a bet with friends and had to date me for a year.

And today is the last day of that bet...

Rule number 1 of survival: Never let them see you flinch.

My identical twin brother, Jace, was a complete doormat. He let his hockey teammates call him a weakling and constantly use him as a punching bag. The moment I found out, something inside me broke. I was determined to fight back on his behalf.

The very next day, I disguised myself as him, walked straight into that locker room, and absolutely leveled his bullies. I only wanted to teach them a lesson, but instead, I caught the eye of the king of the rink himself. Nico Lancaster, the arrogant, brutally gorgeous team captain and the best player in the country.

I challenged him right then and there. And I won three times in a row.

Now, his hatred for me is consuming, but my impossible victory caught the coach's attention. I’m trapped. My brother can’t play hockey to save his life, so I have to keep putting on this disguise. Worse? The coach just made me the assistant captain, forcing me to work side-by-side with Nico to teach the team my signature winning move.

I have a target on my back, and Nico is leading the charge to make my life an absolute misery. He wants me broken. He wants me gone.
But it gets even more dangerous.

He just found out my secret. He knows I'm a girl.
Now, I am completely at his mercy.

In my country, women are strictly banned from playing hockey, and impersonation is a serious crime. If he opens his mouth, my brother gets expelled, and I go straight to jail.
Nico holds all the cards, and the punishment he has in mind involves keeping me closer than ever.

Clara thinks she is too broken to be loved.

Adrian thinks his future is already over.

My stepsister and I tumbled down the stairs together. As someone with a blood clotting disorder, my spleen ruptured—I was bleeding internally, desperate for surgery to stop it.
But my mother—the renowned chief of surgery—pulled every specialist from the ER. To consult on my stepsister's condition.
All she had was a sprained ankle. Not even a scratch. Yet mom insisted on running every test in the book. And me? Left alone on that cold floor, bleeding out, half my body already soaked in blood.
I clutched at her pants, begging her to save me. But she kicked my hand away and looked at me with pure disgust.
"Lily, are you really so desperate for a man's attention that you'd pull a cheap stunt like this? Your sister's foot is swollen—and you have the nerve to fake your death here?"
In the end, I died alone in a corner of that ignored ER.
But when they wheeled my cold body out of the morgue—and they finally learned about my clotting disorder—
That mother who claimed to hate me completely lost her mind.

"She is deaf."
"What, she can't be deaf. I have never heard of a deaf wolf. It is impossible."
"I am serious. She had an accident when she was six. She didn't have her wolf then, and it couldn't heal, resulting in hearing loss."
She smiled. Her smile could have knocked me over. It was something I would want to see as often as I could. "Can you hear me?" She just shook her head.
How on earth would I communicate with her if she couldn't talk? If I marked her, I could mind-link. I could mark her here and now. It is my right, after all. But she may not like that.
I had to wonder if her being deaf, though, would be okay. If I marked her, she would be Luna to my pack. She would need to be strong. I had no idea if losing her hearing made her weak. As much as I wanted to claim her on the spot, I would need to know that she could hold her own. Or, at the very least, could be taught to fight.

"You think I’ll let Cassian take the fall ?"

"He’s my son. You? You’re just a face I regret making"!!.

Lucien was born with a secret.
One even he didn’t understand.
One his father always knew — and hated him for.
While his twin, Cassian, lived a life of freedom, Lucien lived locked behind doors, punished for simply existing.

He wasn’t allowed outside.
He wasn’t allowed to live.
He was hidden. Forgotten. Broken.

Until one party changed everything.

A billionaire mafia heir.
One of the Eight who rule the city from the shadows.
He has two wives. A daughter. And a dying father whispering:

Zayn doesn’t believe in weakness.
He doesn’t believe in love.
And he definitely doesn’t believe in men like Lucien.

Zayn is cold. Ruthless. Homophobic.

But what Zayn doesn’t know…
Is that Lucien carries more than pain.
He carries a secret that defies biology, logic, and everything Zayn thought he knew:

🩸 Lucien can bear an heir.

And what started as punishment becomes obsession.
What started as hate begins to burn into something forbidden… and terrifying.

In the middle of a raging forest fire, my fiancé Carter Hayes was piloting a fuel-leaking helicopter, forced to choose between me and my cousin Lily Sterling.

He chose me.

Lily was left behind in the inferno. She burned.

I thought surviving made me lucky — until my parents slapped me across the face at my wedding. "Why wasn't it YOU who died?"

When I opened my eyes, I found myself back before the fire — before the helicopter took off, before Carter made his choice.

This time, I spoke first. "Take Lily."

If they all wanted me dead, then I'd give them exactly what they wanted.

Elisa is reborn with memories of her past. Elisa was born in the same pack where she was punished. His desire and vow to take revenge on the person who killed him led him to a complicated fate. By chance Elisa became friends with one of the descendants of the person who had punished her previously. To carry out her revenge plan, Elisa must become a healer so she can live in the palace, where the Merris lineage resides.

Mike Costa was supposed to be the sole heir to the Mafia, but he was betrayed and “abandoned” by his own brother Lucas in a yacht explosion, and everyone believed he was dead.
Five years later, he returns—cold-blooded, powerful, and unshakable. The entire underground world of New York is reshaped beneath him.
Just as Mike is about to settle everything once and for all, Lucas forces him into a political marriage with Chicago’s top family, using the secret of his true identity as leverage.
And when Mike first meets the woman at the top of that power hierarchy, she completely changes the rules of this marriage contract—this time, hunter and prey are no longer clearly defined.

“If you want me to choose, you'll have to give me a reason to choose you.”

Five pairs of eyes turned toward me.

For the first time in their privileged lives, the men of New York's elite had no idea how to win.

I was Delilah, the fallen heiress everyone thought they could pity, possess, or control. They saw the debts, the sick mother, and the girl who had lost everything.

What they didn't see was the woman I was becoming.

Julian Blake once treated me like an obligation. Now, the same spoiled heir who couldn't be bothered to show up on time was suddenly desperate for my attention. Watching him learn what it meant to be ignored was almost too satisfying.

Edmund Blake, his powerful adoptive father, was the one man I should never have wanted. He was composed, protective, and painfully aware of the line between us. Every time he stepped away, I wondered how long his self-control could last.

Theodore offered the kind of tenderness I had almost forgotten existed. Caleb challenged me at every turn, seeing through my polished smile and refusing to play by my rules. And Damien? He was the kind of man who didn't ask permission to enter your world. He simply arrived—and expected you to survive the consequences.

They were jealous. They were stubborn. And none of them knew how to share.

But I didn't have time to lose myself in romance. I needed money for my mother's treatment, answers about my grandfather's death, and enough power to make sure no one could ever crush my family again.

So I kept my heart guarded and my options open.

Until a single dangerous night brought everything crashing together—and one of the men made a move that could expose every secret I had worked so hard to hide.

Now the question isn't which man wants me most. It's which one will be willing to destroy everything to keep me.

“If another man dares to glance your way, Annaliese, I’ll blind him. If he dares to speak your name, I’ll cut his throat. You are not for the world to see, not for anyone else to want. You are mine to look at, mine to take, mine to own , and no one… I mean no one else gets a single piece of you.” Cassian heaved, resting his entire face against the crook of my neck. “Do you hear me?”

To be an omega is to be invisible. To be a wolfless omega is to be prey.

Annaliese had survived years of hell in the Silverpine Pack but nothing could have prepared her for the agony of finding her fated mate in Alpha Cassian Blackthorn, the ruthless and most powerful Alpha in the north. The man who disliked weakness and weak people, the man that looks at her with disgust.

Annaliese had thought that was over until she realizes Cassian’s obsession now borders on madness.

Cassian won’t let her leave the pack house. Won’t let other wolves near her. Won’t stop appearing whenever she goes with wild eyes and clenched fists as if the rejection broke something inside him instead of her.

He doesn’t want her but he can’t let her go.

When Alpha Ronan Visits and shows interest in the worthless Omega everyone else ignores, the fragile control Cassian’s bee clinging to snapped.

Suddenly Annaliese is caught in a deadly game between two Alphas, and she doesn’t know the rules.

But the more she searches for answers, the more she realizes that some truths are buried in blood.

And digging them up might cost her everything.

Iris Quinn had a life worth having—until her father’s arrest stripped it all away.
The charges are a lie, orchestrated by the one family she’s always loathed: the Laurents. When Caesar Laurent offers a cold-blooded trade—her hand in marriage for her father's freedom, Iris realizes exactly who she’s dealing with.
The contract arrives before she's finished being angry. Two years minimum. No escape clause.
Caesar doesn't want her heart; he doesn't even pretend to. But he underestimated one thing: Iris Quinn has spent her life refusing to be controlled, and she isn't about to start now.
Caesar is used to winning. Iris is used to surviving. Neither expected the other to be quite this good at the game. She was supposed to be his prisoner—he wasn't supposed to lose sleep over her.

He was the stranger who saved her that night.

She never saw his face.

She never learned his name.

But she never forgot the kiss.

After losing her job and discovering her fiancé in bed with another woman, Emma Brooks leaves Los Angeles with a broken heart and one goal: start over.

She moves to her grandmother’s small town, expecting peace and a fresh beginning.

Instead, she meets Ryder Kane.

The arrogant biker is everything she can't stand. Reckless, infuriating, and far too good at getting under her skin. Their first encounter ends badly. Their next one is worse.

Yet somehow, Ryder keeps showing up whenever Emma needs him.

And despite her better judgment, she begins falling for the man she swore she would never want.

But Ryder has secrets.

Secrets that connect him to the mysterious stranger from Emma's past.

Secrets that could tear apart everything she believes about her family.

And when Emma finally discovers the truth, she will have to face the one question she never expected to ask:

Can she love the man who saved her... when he may also be the man who destroyed her life?

She was the fastest woman in America until one race with him destroyed everything she built. Now the only path back to the Olympics forces her to train, run and win beside the man she has hated for three years. But the closer they get, the more she realizes the crash that ruined her life was never an accident..

Ronan Blackthorne gets the same coffee every morning. Black, no sugar. From the same girl who doesn't even know he's worth billions. Annabelle thinks he's just another suit with good tips and a nice smile. She has no clue he owns half of Manhattan.

Here's the thing though, Ronan's got a problem. His dead father just screwed him over big time. Turns out daddy had a secret daughter somewhere, and she owns 35% of everything Ronan thought was his. Now he's hunting this mystery girl down because his psychotic mother Victoria won't shut up about finding her and making the problem disappear.

The barista he's falling for is the girl he's looking for.

Mara Vale knew how to save ruined things.

Rotten silk. Smoke-stained lace. Wedding gowns torn by jealous hands or careless lovers. In the old brick shop her mother had left her, Mara could lift a century of dirt from a veil and make every hidden stitch disappear.

But on the night of her own wedding, there was nothing she could save.

Her fiance was in the hotel bridal suite with her stepsister. Her father called her ungrateful when she refused to smile through the betrayal. By midnight, Mara had lost her groom, her family, and the deed to the shop that carried her mother's name.

Then rain drove her into a garage on the wrong side of downtown, where a dangerous young mechanic caught her before she hit the concrete.

Dante Cross smelled like motor oil, wore a dirty white tank under his coveralls, and looked at Mara as if he had been waiting eight years to find her.

Everyone thought he was poor.

Everyone was wrong.

And when Mara's enemies dragged her onto a livestream and called her a thief in front of fifty thousand strangers, the man from the garage stepped between her and the slap meant to break her.

He did not ask permission.

He simply said, "Touch her again, and find out who owns this street."

"What gives a scarred freak like you the right to stand next to him?"
Four years ago, a brutal attack left a hideous burn scar across the left side of my face. Ever since, I've hidden behind a black mask, fading into the darkest corners of St. Oak High. I thought if I just stayed perfectly invisible, I could survive high school in peace.
Then Michael came back.
He's the President of Model UN, an Ivy-League-bound genius, and the golden boy everyone revolves around. And me? I’m just a damaged outcast too terrified to show my own face.
The harder I pushed him away, the closer he got.
But when a video from four years ago surfaces—showing him throwing a punch just to defend me—his flawless future is suddenly on the line. That's when I knew I couldn't hide in the shadows anymore.
This time, even if it means exposing my ugliest scars to the harsh light of day, I will do whatever it takes to protect him.

My three-year-old daughter hides behind the sofa whenever I try to hold her now.

“Mommy is scary,” she whispers, clutching her stuffed bear like a shield.

I thought it was just a toddler’s overactive imagination.

Until I checked the camera feed in my own bedroom.

I watched a woman who looked exactly like me step out of the shadows of our antique mirror, slip into my husband’s bed, and kiss him.

On my twenty-fourth birthday, my grandfather dropped the bombshell: I was an orphan.
After learning about my biological family, I decided to do something nice. I bought a limited-edition sports car as a gift for the father I had never met.
But at the dealership, I was publicly humiliated by my brother's mistress.
To clear up the misunderstanding, I called my brother.
When he arrived, it was only to back her up.
"This birthmark is ugly; let me help you get rid of it."
My own brother used a cigar to burn off the birthmark behind my ear and had my suffering broadcast on the mall's LED screen.
"Listen, if anyone dares to treat this woman’s injuries, I’ll have their license revoked in this city for good!"
But he didn’t know that the grandfather who raised me was someone no one in this city could even dream of looking up to.
When my grandfather arrived with a top-notch medical team and armed mercenaries, sealing off the entire building, my arrogant brother finally realized his mistake.

There is no greater power than love. One magic which has ability to conquer everything. Heather Crown and Alexander Diadem is in the true sense power couple. Forces have torn them apart but destiny pushes them with another.
Heather Crown is living a life of solitude with no recollection of her past while Alexander Diadem in on an undefined adventure in search a missing feeling.
This is a journey for them to find oneself and on another and fight a long due battle beside one another.

"How dare you touch me with those filthy hands stained with my father's blood?" he growled, his eyes burning with rage. My hands shook, my heart raced.
"You and I can no longer be mates, Ember. I, Brandon Ryder, now Alpha, reject you as my mate. Accept my rejection."
On the eve of her wedding, Ember's life is turned upside down. Falsely accused of her father's death, she's imprisoned, only to learn the shocking truth—her mate, Brandon, and her best friend conspired to destroy her and her unborn child.
Escaping to protect her children, Ember is caught by Brandon. As she's about to lose everything, she falls off a cliff. Desperate, she prays for salvation, and her answer comes in the form of the feared Lycan Kings of the South: her second chance mates.
With the Grey brothers by her side, Ember becomes a force to be reckoned with. Together, they vow to tear down the Bloodhound Pack that betrayed her, starting with the smallest details and pulling every string. But Ember's path to revenge is far from simple. A stranger appears, claiming to be her betrothed and holding the key to a part of her she thought was lost forever.
Will Ember let fate control her life, or will she make the decisions that change everything before it's too late?

I yearned to be acknowledged as a deserving Luna, even though the entire pack never addressed me as such. Nevertheless, I persevered, striving for their respect.

Within each pack, leaders must earn the pack's allegiance rather than coerce it. Hence, I continued to push myself beyond the limits I had never before explored.

Yet, despite my relentless efforts, I was deceived and betrayed. My so-called mate, Brett, and my supposed best friend, Jennifer, shattered my trust. We grew up without parents, but I cared for Jennifer as a sister would. Nevertheless, she plunged a metaphorical knife into my back.

Now and future, never again will I allow anyone to exploit my vulnerability, I will reclaim my standing.
