After seven years together and ninety-nine spectacular proposals, New York heir Julian Whitlock finally makes Evelyn Ashford consider marriage. Minutes later, she overhears the truth: every ring, every firework, and even the anonymous online romance that once broke her heart were rehearsals for another woman. Evelyn has already fallen for the same man twice. She refuses to do it a third time. With her childhood betrothal match Marcus Lowell beside her—polite, dangerous, and far too amused by chaos—she kicks open the door on Julian's lies.

But ending a seven-year relationship is easier than surviving the grief, the family pressure, and Julian's desperate attempt to reclaim the woman he treated as a backup plan. This time, Evelyn will decide what love means, whom she trusts, and whether any man gets a place in her future.

After a humiliating breakup, Athena’s best friend tricks her into helping their roommate, Jonas Parker, rehearse for a romantic comedy audition. One fake marriage license, several drinks, and one very questionable cousin later, Athena wakes up to discover she’s apparently married.
To her best friend.
And the entire internet knows about it.
Determined to fix the mistake, Athena plans to get an annulment immediately—until Jonas lands the role of a lifetime, and staying married suddenly becomes part of the deal. Jonas has spent years telling everyone exactly one thing: “We’re not dating.” Now he’s trying to convince the world that his accidental wife isn’t just his best friend. Because if their marriage falls apart, so might his acting career.
As if that isn’t complicated enough, Athena’s estranged billionaire father wants her to come home and claim her place as heir to his empire, her ex-boyfriend wants her back now that he knows she’s rich, and her new boss turns out to be Duke Montgomery—her former fiancé who still hasn’t forgiven her for breaking his heart.
With jealous exes, scheming socialites, corporate power struggles, fake relationships, family secrets, a charming stranger and a wedding neither of them remembers agreeing to, Athena and Jonas are about to discover that friendship is a lot easier than love.
And then Athena begins to notice something she never saw before. Maybe the person she’s been looking for has been standing beside her all along.

Because my dad is a Primordial Vampire, my mom is an Alpha Werewolf, and my older brother is an Urban Legend Wraith.
When my tycoon boss, trying to save on severance pay, deployed over a hundred heavily-armed mercenaries to physically eliminate me, I had no choice but to blow the bone whistle my old man gave me...

In my past life, my Mafia Don husband left me and our unborn baby to burn just to save my half-sister.

The Dragon King burned me. The Wolf Alpha bit me. The Vampire King drained me dry.

They all thought I was dead. They were wrong.

I was just a Ghost—a rebel assassin trying to survive in a world ruled by monsters. I fought them with steel and grit, and I lost. I died on a cold stone table, my heart stopping as the venom took hold.

But death didn't want me.

I woke up with four heartbeats pounding in my chest. One for the wolf who marked me. One for the dragon who scorched me. One for the vampire who tasted me. And one... that belongs to the Phoenix rising from my ashes.

Now I’m back, and I’m not just human anymore. I am the fire that will burn their kingdoms to the ground. The Wolf King, Rhett, is staring at me like he’s seen a ghost. He is kneeling, not in fear, but in worship.

"What are you?" he whispers.

I smile, and my wings of flame unfurl. "I'm your reckoning."

“A human cannot be a Luna. She is too weak, too fragile, too mortal.”

That was the law of the pack. Until Alpha Donald's golden eyes locked onto mine, and his crushing aura forced me to my knees. He claimed I was his fated mate. His Queen.

I did the only logical thing a human girl could do: I rejected the bond and ran for my life. As an ordinary healer from a disgraced town, I belong in the shadows, not in the savage, blood-soaked world of the Blackwell pack. The wolves sneer at my presence, plotting my death in the dark. To them, I am a liability. A walking death sentence for their powerful Alpha.

But the moon doesn't make mistakes. When a mysterious crescent mark burns itself into my flesh, a terrifying, ancient power awakens in my veins. I am no ordinary human. I am the reincarnation of the Black Wolf Healer—a mythical force capable of both wiping out entire bloodlines and rewriting the supernatural hierarchy.

Donald refuses to let me go. The pack wants me dead. And the rogues are at the gates.

They thought they were getting a helpless human lamb. They are about to find out what happens when you anger a Goddess.

I am falling hard for your master. I want him, I want to give him a chance if he wants to…. but I can’t be hurt, I can’t do it again.

Emma knows she is just an ordinary single mother of two children, and Beautiful People like Peter don’t choose normals, so for whatever reason Peter was obviously playing with her. She tries to hide, but he is determined to win her once and for all to his side.

*I have been hunting for you for twenty years. You are my all, my queen, and you are the Luna. *

Authors Note:* this is my first story, I don't ask you to be kind, I ask you to be constructive :) Many thanks

"NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER let anyone other than me see you in such little clothes. Have I made myself clear tesoro? "
His husky voice dialed down by an octave as he spoke directly into my ear, making me shudder. His hand held firmly unto my hips as he pressed his bare chest against the thin covering of my black laced push up bra, forcing my back against the cold wall, goosebumps spread all over my olive skin.

He steps back and I inhaled sharply, realising I hadn't been breathing.

"Stop."

I turned around and faced him.

Preston Ashford and I made a promise to get into UCLA together.

I held onto that promise through all of senior year, surviving on four hours of sleep a night. Then results day came, and I found out someone had logged into my application and changed it.

I only ever gave Preston my password.

I storm over to confront him and catch Vanessa Ashby, the daughter of an old family friend, the one everyone tiptoed around because of her depression, laughing. "Preston, what do you think Elise looked like when she found out?"

Preston lets out a lazy laugh. "She'll freak out, obviously. Girl's wound so tight, might as well get some use out of her."

Vanessa has depression, and I'm the one who's supposed to make her laugh.

I'm the one who ate dirt at track meets. I'm the one who got laughed at for singing off-key. I'm the one everyone pointed and laughed at. And every time she doubled over laughing, Preston told me I was a good girl.

I turned myself into a joke, just to get a little scrap of kindness thrown my way.

But not this time. I'm done playing the clown.

"You actually thought I cared about you?" His smirk was sharp, almost cruel.
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

"Aurora," he said softly, his voice low and filled with something I couldn't name but could feel deep inside.
"Yes?" I whispered, barely audible, but I knew he heard me.
His eyes didn't leave mine as he spoke. "Do you know how much self-control it takes every time I look at you? Every time I'm close to you?"
I felt heat rush to my cheeks, and I knew I was blushing.
"I want to kiss you, Aurora," he said, his voice was almost a growl, filled with longing.

Will she find love, or become a pawn in their deadly game?"

A werewolf occasionally needs to battle, growl, and bite but this Alpha simply needs a mate and he hasn't found one, not until a human shows up at Jamesburg, a small city curved out of the map with so many shapeshifters and he is the Alpha.
Isabel only needed a job but she ended up with an Alpha who wasn't ready to claim her openly because she is a human.
What will Isabel do when faced with such a situation?

"Hey! Who do you think you--oh!" The man dragging her had stopped moving, which caused Serene to crash against his back. Or as her fingers pronounced it, chest.

As she looked up into his face, she met blue eyes shining through a gold colored mask with red linings. There was no amusement in his eyes nor were there any signs of a positive emotion.

As he stared back she couldn't help but wonder, 'we've met before, haven't we?'

Her eyes widen as his frown turned into a cheeky grin that Serene only saw at school.

"Who am I? I'm your new Daddy."
......................................................................

Serene had a vicious stepmother and stepsister just like Cinderella and met her prince at a midnight dance. But the difference was he was a vampire prince, and she was not his original chosen mate. He approached Serene by mistake.

Two years later, Serene secretly became a maid in the palace, wanted to investigate her family’s death and took revenge. The arrogant vampire prince Leo would be her first aim. But the murderer turned out to be the person by her aside. It was her stepmother! Will Cinderella Serene and Prince Leo defeat evil and happily live together just like in a fairy tale?

Due to the heartache she receives from her fiancé, Jaidyn makes an impulsive decision to continue the trip she had originally intended to do with him. As soon as she arrived in the town, she had an overwhelming attraction to both the setting and the enigmatic man. However, secrets have come to light as a result of her continued presence there and interactions with the man.
She was more than just a human; she was the mate of a being that she had never in her wildest thoughts imagined to exist.
With her heartbroken over her ex-fiance and prime life in another country, she was in for a ride that will set the course of her life.

He was meant to die on the altar—naked, bound, sacrificed.
But instead, Arvin caught the eye of a monster in silk and fangs.

Now, he belongs to Prince Lester.
Not by choice. Not by vow. But by blood, contract, and the cruel twist of fate.

In the palace of knives and whispers, Arvin is paraded like a pet, touched like a prize, and watched like prey. But he isn’t meek. He isn’t obedient. If Lester wants a submissive, he’ll have to break him—and Arvin doesn’t break easy.

“Love me or hate me,” Lester murmurs, pressing him down, “either way, I’ll fuck you every night.”

But Arvin won’t be taken without a fight.
Not by a vampire. Not by a prince. Not by the devil himself.

This isn’t a romance. It’s a war of lust and dominance.
And in this castle, the one who kneels… might just survive.

🔞 Blood. Power. Pain.
Let the games begin.

She didn't like them. She'd have stayed away from them if she could but her past hold her captive.

He's always wanted a mate and he's finally found her.... but why isn't he with her yet?

“He knew in the very moment that his skin touched hers that it didn’t matter what she was, or who she was. All that mattered was that she had to be his.”
They were just words right? Theia had been writing for as long as she could remember. As a paranormal romance author, she told the stories of werewolves, magic and fated mates. An escape from the reality of her illness. But it was all just in her head.
At least that’s what she believed until one of her characters walked into her life. Literally.
Dominic is everything an Alpha should be. Strong, powerful, and too handsome to be true. One glance from him and her entire world shifted.
But with the realisation that he is her fated mate comes a whole new bigger, and more dangerous world, especially for a human with a debilitating illness. When Theia’s gift of foresight puts her in mortal danger, as others attempt to use her power for their own personal gain, Dominic must battle against enemies to protect his fragile Luna.
Will the gift that brought them together be the very thing that keeps Dominic and Theia apart? Or can Theia use it to save herself, and the people she loves?

You're right. I expanded your line without being asked — that was my mistake.

Here's the corrected version, keeping your line tight and matched in length:

I died for the mate bond.

In my past life, I choked on my own blood in the snow, taking a silver bullet for Kael. My reward? He married Seraphina over my fresh grave.

Never again.

Now, standing alive in the packhouse, I stared at the man I once died for.

"I reject you, Elara. You're a pathetic Omega," Kael spat, his lip curling in front of the entire pack. "You will never be my Luna."

He wanted tears. He expected me to break. Instead, I wiped a smear of blood from my split lip and gave him a razor-sharp smile. "I accept your rejection."

The crowd froze. But the silence didn't last.

A suffocating aura slammed into the room, dropping wolves to their knees. The heavy oak doors splintered open. Silas. The bloodthirsty Alpha King of the North.

He ignored the bowing elites and walked straight up to me. His burning gaze pinned me in place.

"Since the guy threw you away," Silas rumbled, a grin splitting his face, "From this second on, you are mine."

They call me the "Savior," building altars for me amidst the ruins.
But they don't know that when I climbed out of the abyss, I had no intention of saving this species whatsoever.
I am not here to rebuild civilization; I am simply calculating exactly how many souls I must reclaim to fully awaken my Ark.

I'm a folklorist. Folk traditions are my field.
At first, I thought it was just an ordinary rhyme, a scrap of oral history set to a tune.
"A rag doll in the mire, swinging high up to the sky..."
We all thought it was just a prank.

I was just trying to make it to graduation.
Classes by day, coffee shop by night, that was my life. No parents. No foster homes. Just me, surviving on scraps of hope and caffeine.

But one walk home changed everything.

One moment, I was on the phone with my best friend. The next, a hand was clamped over my mouth, the world spinning as something sharp sank deep into my skin. I should’ve died right there on that cold, dark street. But death never came.

Instead… I woke up hungry.

Not the kind of hunger food fixes. This was deeper, darker — and it came with fangs and cravings I swore I’d never have. I despised humans for the way they used, abandoned, and broke people like me. Now? They’re the only thing that keeps me alive.

I never asked to become a monster.
But that’s exactly what I am.

He came to Earth to retrieve an ancient amulet… not to fall in love.

Aurelia—brilliant, quiet, and unknowingly holding the very amulet he was sent for. Bound together as school project partners, what began as cold silence slowly turned into glances, laughter, and something deeper.

And the unexpected happened they fell in love.

But when Caelum finally discovers the truth,he found out she was the one with the amulet. Everything shatters. If he takes the amulet… she will turn to stone.

Now he's torn between his duty to save his dying world or saving the girl who became his world.
