“I’m Irin, I’m from the temple,” she said, as climbing up the steep hill had exhausted her.

She sighed and was just about to knock again when the door opened and she looked straight at a… greenish chest covered in black tattoos? Her eyes travelled up the naked, muscular torso, covered in symbols carved into the flesh.

“I can see that, little one,” he said. Irin’s eyebrow shot up. Who was he calling little?

“Excuse me?” she asked.

“Who are you calling little?”

That’s when Erebus finds me.
Ruler of Obsidian, the global assassination syndicate. The only man on the kill list who could ever go toe-to-toe with me in my last life.

But Erebus won’t let me go. Caught between gilded high society and the brutal killer world I once ruled — will I even survive this time?

Lila Ophelia Grayson has spent years rebuilding the life she lost the night Lucas Becker Crawford walked away. Once, he was her everything—until he shattered her heart without looking back. Now, she’s done with second chances and ghosts of the past. But fate has a cruel sense of humor, and when Lucas returns, older, richer, and even more dangerous to her sanity, she finds herself standing on unstable ground.

Lucas left for reasons he’s never spoken aloud. The world may see him as a ruthless billionaire, a man who has everything, but the one thing he’s ever truly wanted is the one thing he was forced to let go. Lila was never just another girl—she was his weakness, his obsession, his greatest regret. And now that she’s in his orbit again, he’s determined to rewrite their ending, even if she fights him every step of the way.

But the past doesn’t stay buried, and secrets have a way of resurfacing when least expected. As tension builds between them, Lila and Lucas are forced to confront the truth: some scars never heal, some desires never fade, and sometimes, love is the most dangerous game of all.

Because in the end, the real question isn’t whether Lucas can win Lila back. It’s whether she can survive loving him a second time.

As Elena delves deeper into her family's occult legacy, she realizes the mansion isn't just her inheritance—it's a prison. And something ancient and hungry has been waiting for her return.

Emmalyn had always lived along, tucked away safely in her sanctuary. The thought that it wasn’t safe nagged at the back of her mind when she did have to leave.

Taken with little resistance, they spirited away Emmalyn away in one of their wagons. Emmalyn was not expecting to be traveling in the company of wolves, handsome wolves at that.

For the vampires, she was the key to bringing their long-dead legend back to life at the expense of her own.

Will the wolves be able to keep Emmalyn safe? Will the vampires ever relent in their constant search for her?

Amaya Janice’s life is a predictable cycle: counting pills and quiet nights. That predictability shatters when a horrific tragedy awakens a terrifying, dormant power within her: the ability to see the supernatural world bleeding into her own, and a horrifying, god-like authority over human souls she can neither understand nor control. Hunted by dark entities drawn to her new power, Amaya is thrust into Requiem. She has two powerful and opposing mentors: Malik Dolian, a serene, law-abiding angel who promises her control and salvation, and Ryker Reyes, a dangerously pragmatic demon who insists that survival means embracing the chaos.

At Salvation, a hidden academy for the supernatural, she is an outcast. While navigating the school's rigid hierarchies, tormented by elitist bullies, and finding an unlikely friendship with a wolfless shewolf, Amaya finds herself torn between her two mentors, caught in a tempestuous love triangle that challenges the very definitions of light and dark.

Amaya is plagued by her most terrifying vision yet: the death of the creator god, Zohar. When cosmic disasters begin to ravage the Earth as a god dies, the horrifying truth is revealed. In their shared grief and guilt, the walls between Amaya, Malik, and Ryker crumble, leading to a night of intimacy that irrevocably forges them into something more than just a woman and her two guardians. With Zohar’s throne empty, his ancient, jealous brother emerges to claim all of creation. As Salvation becomes the last bastion in a war for existence, Amaya learns of an ancient prophecy of the Dark Mother. To save everyone she loves, Amaya must not only master her power but become the living embodiment of that prophecy, uniting her Saint and her Sinner to face a god and decide the fate of a new, godless age.

He roughly pulled her shirt over Aisha’s head, eyes hardening as he watched her chest heave at his touch. He ripped the rest of her clothes from her body until she was nude, then gripped her neck.

"Get on your knees," Imset whispered in her ear, rolling a finger over her lips. She nodded, unable to speak as she lowered before him. His eyes twitched as she put her mouth to him, as if on instinct, or a lack of any more self-control.

"Fuc-" he inhaled, feeling the back of her throat press his tip suddenly. He pressed her head forward, feeling himself falling over the edge of his need. He spilled into her throat, watching her swallow then lick her lips, eyes dilated fully. He couldn't control himself anymore, pulling her up and slamming her into the shower wall.

"Do you want to know what it is to belong to me?" he asked, nipping at the skin of her neck. She nodded violently. She wanted all of it, whatever he would give, whatever it would mean.

Continuously updating…

Dear readers and friends, thank you for reading this novel. I have recently written a new novel titled , and if you're interested, you're welcome to look it up and give it a read.

The meeting happens where no one expects something to begin: a hospital room. From there, a delicate connection is born, woven from simple conversations, unexpected laughter, and silences filled with meaning.

What begins as something light transforms into care, desire, and choice. But loving requires courage, especially when the future is frightening.

A story about allowing oneself to feel.

And about discovering that, sometimes, love arrives to teach you how to live.

They called him the Ashborn, not just a title, but a mockery.

In the divine order of the Aurealis Academy, where angels trained, ranked, and rose according to the purity of their light, Elias Vorne was the standing joke. No wings fully formed at sixteen. No light is strong enough to pass a standard test. The weakest initiative in three centuries of recorded history, they said, which was not the kind of record anyone wanted to hold.

He had heard it so many times, he had stopped flinching.

"Nothing. Again."

The Seraph Commander's voice was flat as a blade laid on a table. Around the testing hall, two hundred initiates watched Elias pull his hand back from the sacred flame that had burned bright gold for every student before him and produced, for him, nothing at all. Not a flicker, nor a glow, nor even the faint warmth that the weakest angels managed.

His palm had come back cold.

"Perhaps Ashborn needs another year."

The laughter was not unkind, exactly. It was the laughter of people who had stopped taking something seriously. Elias stood in front of two hundred divine initiates and let it wash over him the way he had learned to, like water over stone. You cannot erode stone with laughter. You cannot break what has been decided; it will not break.

What none of them knew, what Elias himself did not know, was why the flame went cold when he touched it.

Not because he had no power, but because what lived inside him was not light.

Somewhere in the city beyond the Academy walls, a woman with ink-dark eyes and the patient stillness of someone who had been waiting a very long time looked up from her work and felt the moment the seal shifted.

The funny thing about love, is that you don't always get to choose but your soul finds its mate. But what happens if all odds are against you being with your soulmate? Soon the lines between fake marriage and reality start to blur, mixing together and entangling them in delusions and fantasies.

Ellie has always felt like an outsider, drowning in loneliness and losing herself to grief, as she watches her mother battle a terminal illness and her father drift further away. She has never felt more alone—until the night she meets him.

Liam—a handsome stranger with eyes that hold centuries of pain. From the moment their paths cross, Ellie feels an unexplainable pull toward him, as if they have met in another life, in another time.

Liam is no ordinary boy—he is a vampire, cursed to wander the earth in search of vengeance against the monster who stole his family. He has lived lifetimes in solitude, believing love was something only mortals could afford, a luxury he would never know again.

But Ellie awakens something in him—something beyond bloodlust, beyond fate itself. She makes him feel human again. She makes him want to stay.

Their love is intoxicating, desperate, and doomed, a love neither of them fully understands. His warmth and touch, she always yearned for, her kisses and caresses always brought relieve to him.

But as Liam’s enemies close in and Ellie’s fragile world crumbles, they are forced to confront the cruel truth: their time is running out. Loving Liam means risking everything—her soul, her mortality, and the thin thread of life she has left to hold onto.

But some loves are worth dying for.

And some are worth living for, even in the darkness.

When the final battle comes, will fate tear them apart, or will love rewrite destiny itself?

The Blood Moon Festival ended the night Caelan Voss stood up in front of every faction in Aurevael and announced he only wanted one person.
Her name wasn't mine.
The other consorts took their gold and went home. The Ironpact warriors headed back to their barracks. The Sylvari delegation slipped out before the second toast. The Covenant scholars packed their notes. Reunions. Celebrations. The kind of night the holiday was made for.
I had nowhere to go.
The mark on my inner wrist had always been warm. Just a low, steady pulse—easy to ignore after a few years, like a clock you stop hearing. I pressed my fingers over it out of habit.
Cold.
The contract was over. Twenty-one years, four failed routes, and now this. The ancient binding that had pulled me into this world had made its verdict.
I went to find a rope.

I was raised with the criminal underground’s most notorious crew turned government-sanctioned mercenaries in Texas and Colorado, known as the Death Kings. My uncle is one of them known as the Gator King. Now I walk in his footsteps, leading a crew of my own with his backing. To my family, my nickname is Seraphim, but in my kingdom, I’m the Viper King. Now the boys who left me, who swore they would stay by my side to protect me, are back in town. They are attempting to become like C.H.A.O.S. who run Palomino Bay, Texas. That will not happen because Grêle, Louisiana, is my stronghold. I have the backing of my father's MC and together along with my Serpents the city is ours. The person they need to protect is themselves because it isn’t me.
…They don’t know my secret, but I know theirs…

I touch my necklace. Nothing is known about my biological parents. I only have this necklace as an heirloom. The pendant is shaped into a crescent moon with a star on the tip where a diamond lays in the center. Engraved on it is some writing I can't read. Just like my pendant, I also have a crescent-shaped birthmark with a star on my hip. My mom said it might go away in time like most birthmarks do. Mine seems to have become more prominent over the years. I sometimes imagine it sparkles.

The wind picks up suddenly, swirling around me and I smell it. The scent of fresh cut grass and wood shavings. Two of my favorite things.

"Do you smell that, my child? Follow it," says a woman's voice.

I sat there thinking against it. The first time I heard voices, I freaked out my mom. She wanted me to see a psychiatrist because hearing voices isn't a good sign. I explained they were guiding me to do things. My mom said, "Ok, but before you do whatever these voices tell you to do, sit down and think before you do. AND, if it becomes too much to handle, tell me so we can go see an expert." So far, whatever I hear, hasn't gotten me into trouble. So why not follow that scent? As the wind picks up again, I jump off the fence and follow the scent.

What will Hope find? Is she ready to learn the truth?

“You take us so well, don't you?" Kade says, slamming his cock into my mouth as Lucien thrusts into my pussy at a savage, maddening pace. “Our sweet, little destruction."

They say the moon never forgets a sin, and on the night Nyra was born, it remembered them all.

Marked by the goddess and hunted by every clan, Nyra carries a power that could either save the wolves… or end them. The Lunar Crystal, the goddess’s shattered heart, can break the curse that’s slowly destroying their kind , but only if awakened by her blood.

Now the light wolves want her captured, the royals want her dead, and four dangerous rogues want to protect her, even if it means defying the laws of the moon itself.

As enemies close in and forbidden bonds ignite, Lyra must choose between surrendering her power… or embracing the darkness rising within her.

Because under the bleeding moon, love can be just as deadly as fate.

Dr. Mara Venn had survived twelve years in trauma medicine by trusting what she could prove: blood pressure, pupil response, scan results, time of death.

Then blue letters appeared in the air outside Mercy Gate Medical Center, warning her not to enter an operating room.

The patient was already dead.

The surgery was a trap.

And if Mara went back inside, a powerful hospital family would bury a man's death under her name.

I was murdered. My body was dumped on the riverbank.
The detective leading the case is Brennan Carter — my husband. He has sworn to find the killer of this "unidentified female." He doesn't know the victim is me.
I've been missing for seven days. My colleagues and supervisors keep calling Brennan to ask where I am. Dismissing it as a tantrum, he's spent the week doing one thing: celebrating his mistress Tessa's birthday.
It wasn't until my phone turned up at the crime scene that it finally hit him — the wife he'd wished would disappear might actually be gone.

"You love me?"
"I do."
"But what about finding your mate?"
"My first mate died. My second rejected me. There's no fated mate out there for me—and I'm glad. Because I only want you."
Emma has known nothing but heartbreak. Her first mate died before they ever met. Her second rejected her without hesitation. And every time she's tried to love again, it's ended the same way—left behind, forgotten, alone.
After years of being used, broken, and finally abused by her ex-boyfriend Jay, Emma no longer believes she deserves a happy ending.
Then she meets Alex.
From the moment they cross paths, something shifts. But Emma is guarded, and Alex—he has his own pain. He's lost a mate. He's been rejected. Love isn't new to him, but heartbreak is. Still, from the first moment, he's certain of one thing: he wants Emma.
Can two souls scarred by loss and betrayal find healing in each other?
Or will the ghosts of their pasts destroy the one thing they never thought they'd have—a future together?

Raegan Turner was an ordinarily human girl – according to the records at least; until she got in an accident and woke up to find her fantasies come true. The life as she knew it was no more. She should’ve been running in the opposite direction but the lure of those blue eyes was inescapable. It couldn’t be – could it?

Valiance D’evreux had lost all hope. He’d always prided himself for his optimism and open-mindedness. But it happens to the best of men – or in his case; a caged beast. Until that day. A ray of sunshine had finally shone upon his frozen heart, thawing him back to life. Could it be? It couldn’t…

Two worlds colliding to join two people sharing two halves of the same soul.

"Marry me before I die, and after that, I will make sure your daughter will get a new heart. Just marry me, and say 'I do' in front of my parents." - SPADE CEDRIC VASILE

To fulfill his promise to his parents, Spade was prepared to marry without the binding of so-called love, just a pure contract until his dying day. Yet, would Spade still wish for death when his heart slowly fell for his wife, who wished for nothing more than for his life to be extended? Will the heavens heed his plea to prolong his days, if only to remain with the woman who ignited his desire to live?

To marry me, my fiancé Sebastian Knight said he wanted his childhood friend Isabella to be our surrogate.

I agreed. Because I couldn't have children, and the Knight family desperately needed an heir.

After Isabella "successfully" got pregnant, Sebastian became a completely different person. He started making her nutritious meals, accompanying her to prenatal appointments, even memorizing every food she disliked.

Yet he couldn't even remember my birthday.

Two weeks before our wedding, I received an anonymous email.

The video on the screen made me understand everything in an instant—Sebastian and Isabella were in bed together.

So this was his "surrogacy plan."

I, his fiancée, was just the last fool to find out.

I canceled all the wedding arrangements, tore up the wedding dress, and threw away the ring.

On our original wedding day, Isabella gave birth to his son in the delivery room, while I was already sitting in first class on a flight abroad.

Sebastian, this time I'M the one leaving YOU.

"Are you... really the King?" I question next, my eyes remaining wide.
"I am... do I not seem fit enough to be?" He smirks, causing me to blush yet again...
he seems to have that affect on me I don't know why.
"N-No uh... I was just wanting to clarify things... sorry." I say shyly, watching as he keeps his eyes on the road.
"Next question love?" He glances over at me, catching me staring as I immediately glance away.
Uhhhh... what did you mean that I'm your... uh what was the word you used again? Your..." I trail off, trying to think back to what he called me back in the village.
"Mate?" He finishes, as I nod briefly remembering the word.

For years, Echo McFarland (the "Potion Queen") and Dean Grant (the "Arrogant Heir") were the academy's most famous enemies. Their rivalry was fueled by their powerful fathers: Arthur McFarland, a wealthy businessman with a clean ledger, and Frank Dean, a ruthless High Inquisitor who viewed his son as a mere tool for his own political ambition.
The "War" began to crumble when Echo discovered Dean’s private notebook from their freshman year. The raw, honest entries revealed a boy drowning under his father’s expectations, harboring a secret love for the very girl he was forced to compete against.
