Isabel's life has been a constant struggle with the word "ugly." Her Leucoderma skin disease had made her believe that she could never be beautiful.

She hesitated, and that displeased him. He growled, clearly infuriated. “Do you need some kind of motivation? Because you will not get it. Take off your fucking clothes!” he thunders, making her jump and her legs shake.

"You lied to us, little flame," Zayne whispered, ripping my panties off. "We can smell you dripping from across the jet."

I thought I could hide it. The potion the witch gave me was supposed to suppress my heat, but instead, it made my pheromones explode.

I was trapped on a private jet at 30,000 feet with the two most dangerous Lycan Kings in existence. And I was in heat.

Magnus looked up from his laptop, his red eyes darkening as the scent hit him. "Come here," he ordered. Not a request. A command.

My body moved on its own. The need was an ache in my belly, a fire in my veins. I crawled onto his lap, trembling.

"You told us you took your medicine," Magnus growled, his hand sliding up my skirt, finding the proof of my lie immediately. "But you're soaking wet."

"I... I didn't mean to..." I stammered.

"Bad girls need to be punished," Zayne murmured against my neck, his teeth grazing my pulse.

They didn't wait for landing. They didn't care about the pilot.

"Scream for us, Raven," Magnus demanded as he claimed me right there in the cabin. "Let everyone know who owns you."

I had signed a contract to give them an heir. I didn't know the process would start like this.

And when she returns to her old pack, she won't just take back what's hers... she'll burn their world to the ground.

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone—including her own mate—she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone.

Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved.

It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed—a problem he had been battling for years.

Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous—he was the kind of man you don't escape from.

“Alpha! Alpha please! Don't hurt me. Please, let me go.” I begged him, but he didn't stop twisting my arm.

“Let you go! So you want me to let you go so easily. You make a mistake, you get punished.” He whispered in my ear, yet his words were so wicked, it sent shivers to my spine.

“Please, alpha. I will behave from now on. I will not try to run. Please, don't do this. You are hurting me.” I begged him again. But he had no mercy.

I watched his smirk turn into something twisted and mischievous. I screamed in pain when he broke my forearm. He broke the bone right in the middle, splitting it in half. “You betray me, and I will make your life a fucking living hell.” He growled in my ear before he pushed me on the ground and walked away.

One thing she does not know is that this dangerous man is infact, the anonymous stranger whose letters had comforted her during her bad days.

From the moment she was born, she was an anomaly: a wolfless daughter of an Alpha, heir to a pack she could never truly lead. She was destined to rule with her best friend and fated mate at her side, but he shattered her world by rejecting her and siding with tradition. Her heartbreak and humiliation were absolute, leaving her a leader without a pack, an outcast in her own home.

As their relationship tentatively grows, they realize they are bound by a common enemy: Kaelen. His thirst for power threatens to swallow not only her pack but all the territories around them. To fight him, she must embrace her unique strength and prove that a leader's power isn't about shifting, but about courage and resilience.

Their fight for justice becomes a fight for their second chance at love, and they must face down the forces that shattered their worlds to create a new destiny for themselves.

Born with scars that marked more than her face, Dahlia learned early that beauty determined worth in her pack. As the Beta’s daughter, she should have been respected instead, she was treated like the omega she was and even worse. Her father remarried soon after her mother’s death, and her stepmother and stepsister, Sienna, never missed a chance to remind her she was ugly, unwanted, and a failure.
When fate finally paired Dahlia with the Alpha, she thought the Moon Goddess had granted her mercy. But the mark never came. Her mate wanted power, not love and his heart already belonged to Sienna. When Dahlia discovered their affair and Sienna’s pregnancy, humiliation drove her to run.
One night, behind a mask and a stranger’s touch, Dahlia tasted freedom for the first time. The man who held her made a promise… then vanished before dawn.
Years later, Dahlia returns ; no longer the broken girl they knew, but a doctor, a mother of triplets, and the woman the Lycan King will stop at nothing to claim.

"Me? Confessing to him? He’s not even worthy."

The second before I was supposed to confess to the school hunk, my memories came flooding back. The "idiot" was gone. I snapped back at him instantly.

"Is this ugly fool crazy today? How dare she talk to him like that? Does she have a death wish? Hahaha!" The crowd jeered.

I looked at my mocking classmates, my gaze turning ice-cold.

They had no idea. I was the Perfect Subject—the crown jewel of Organization X. Bred for peak intelligence and physical perfection, mastering more skills than they could count.

But the Organization got greedy. They wanted to harvest my genes to create a mindless army, turning me into a mere object. I slaughtered them all and escaped, but not before being hit by a top-secret toxin that left me in a "foolish" state for three long years.

For three years, I was the school's punching bag. The "ugliest girl," the "local idiot," the one everyone stepped on.

Campus bullying? Assassins from the Organization? Every bottom-feeder thinks they can trample over me.

They have no idea who they’re messing with.

Now that I’ve awakened, whether it’s the school bullies or the shadows of the Organization—I’m going to make every single one of them pay. Tenfold.

And when he finds out I’m pregnant, he becomes something else, too:

Lucien contributed, “I can be. I will put this in order. Be thou my Luna.”
“No,” she said.
Lucien drew his eyes together. “Why not?”
She said, “Because I am not your second chance. I will start by myself.”

I woke up to the truth that I had somehow ended up inside a mafia novel, cast as Richard’s “burdensome little sister.”
The day I was disfigured saving him, Richard held my hand and swore I was his only weakness.
He said even if the fire had turned me into a monster, I would still be his.
But I knew the truth. I wasn’t his weakness but the curse he could never escape.

Ten years ago, on the night of the fire, I stepped into an ocean of flames for him. In return, I got burns across sixty-three percent of my body and ten years locked inside his guilt.
Stella, the mafia heiress who loved Richard so desperately it bordered on madness, once stood beside my hospital bed, crying as she begged me to let him go.
“You’re his only weakness,” she said, her voice shaking. “The Miller Family already has their eyes on him… Please. Just set him free.”

So I put on a veil and married the man Richard hated most, Frank of the Miller Family.
At the wedding, Richard’s eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed my arm.
“Tell me the truth,” he demanded hoarsely. “Are you doing this willingly?”
Through the cheap veil covering my ruined face, I smiled at him. “Yes. I’m tired. I don’t want to be your burden anymore.”

But on our wedding night, Frank tore the veil from my head. He stared at my twisted, scarred face and sneered. “Jesus… you’re fucking ugly.”
When Frank pinned me down, my fingers brushed against the gun Richard had secretly slipped into my wedding dress.
Along with it was a bloodstained note. His handwriting was frantic, almost insane.
Just one word—Live.

And right now, my adoptive father was waiting at the North Dock with men from the Miller Family, ready to silence me for good.
Because the fire ten years ago, the one that burned my adoptive mother to death, was started by him.
Now everyone wants me dead.
But Richard…This time, for you, I’m going to stay alive, even if I have to crawl all the way to the gates of hell.

“Theerapat” returned once again to the Khunlakorn Mansion at his sister’s request, as their father lay on his deathbed.

“Just seeing his face makes me sick of the smell of buffalo dung. Why hasn't he left our home yet?”

Those venomous words escaped Theerapat’s lips the moment his eyes met Thongdee, the longtime livestock caretaker of the family farm.

Theerapat despised Thongdee more than anyone, believing he was his mother’s secret lover, and the very reason their family had fallen apart.

But the more he hated him... the more their paths seemed to cross.

After his father’s death, the will revealed a shocking condition:
To inherit his share, Theerapat must spend three months working on the farm, and the person assigned to train him…?

None other than the man he loathed most in the world…
“Uncle Thongdee.”

"This is forbidden," Grayson says softly, stepping back. "You're a princess and I'm a knight," he continues, voice strained with a hint of regret.

"Before that...you were once my best friend and first love," I whisper, stepping closer. I reached out gently, my hands trembling as I lift his face to meet my gaze.

"It's all in the past," His jaw tightens, eyes shutting briefly, then slowly opening to reveal a flicker of pain buried beneath his composure.

"Is it?" I press softly, leaning in closer.

He says nothing for a long moment, then releases a deep shaky breath. "You're one person I desire the most, yet it's forbidden." He admits.

I stroke his jawline softly, my thumbs softly brushing his cheeks. "I still don't care. I want you regardless of what anyone says."

My knees wobbled, panic consuming every inch of me as I forced myself to meet his gaze.
“What the hell do you want from me?”

He leaned closer, his breath grazing my ear.
“Your touch…. It stole my power. And I want you to undo whatever you did to me. Right here…right now!”

I flinched. “How…. how am I supposed to do that?” My voice cracked, fragile and trembling.

His lips curled into a snarl. I watched him stride back to the bed until he was seated. He fell back slightly, fingers dug into the sheets while he threw his legs apart like he was in a goddamn cinema.

“I want you to pull out my cock… stroke me like you did the first time. Until my power is back.”

They call him Lucifer the Devil.
She calls him a murderer

To some, he is a ghost who appears only twice in a lifetime, once to make an offer, and the second time to claim his reward—death.

Lorenzo Scofield in search of his lover, from his past life who was unjustly killed by his villagers, became a heartless, cruel and ruthless devil.

Just a touch from Evelyn Martins at a night when the full moon appeared, her blue eyes meeting his red eyes took everything from him. And for that she was forced to be bound to him for one year.

But what they never expected was that their hatred could burn into something far more dangerous—love.

Now Evelyn must fight the struggles of life with the devil himself, the very man she once swore never to be with.

Yes. You can do something for me. How about staying your ass away from my son, He's out of your league!"

Meet Adani. A beautiful woman, desperate to leave a toxic relationship she was 'trapped' in. Beaten, battered and belittled almost every day of her life, she finally managed her escape and met the handsome, rich, powerful and successful billionaire, Ricardo Parriston, who took pity on her and employed her as his live-in house maid.

Just when Adani thought she was welcomed, she meets Ricardo's mother. A woman with a strong dislike for Adani and wanted to see her son with someone of 'status'. All hell broke loose when she learnt her son was developing feelings for his maid.

“You are staring again,” I say.

Caylix doesn’t even blink. “You wore that dress knowing exactly what it would do to me.”

I glance down at the silk. “This dress? Are you jealous? You can borrow it if you want. It might be a little short on you, but…”

His mouth finds the sensitive curve of my neck as his hand slides beneath the silk of my dress. "Tell me what you need, Avi," he growls against my skin, his fingers teasing the heat between my thighs. "How many times do you want me to ruin you tonight?"

————————-

I was promised to a prince. Instead, I fell in love with the man sworn to die for me.

For thirteen years, Caylix has been more than my shadow guard. He's my best friend, protector, and the voice in my mind thanks to an ancient soul bond neither of us understands.

He feels my fear, hears my thoughts,
and anyone who comes for me has to go through him first. With war closing in, dark magic corrupting the throne, and my arranged marriage holding two kingdoms together, falling for him isn't just forbidden.

It could destroy everything.

Then an ancient prophecy awakens.

The mysterious bond between us isn't a mistake. It's the key to a forgotten power capable of saving the kingdoms... or plunging them into darkness forever.

Now we're racing against assassins, traitors, and a rising evil that's been waiting centuries to return.

The only problem?

Saving the world may demand the one sacrifice neither of us can survive.

I'd rather watch kingdoms burn than lose him.

There’s a tiny pair of eyes watching him from behind the door—our son.

Wren Calloway survives Hartfield Prep by being invisible. Scholarship girl, wrong zip code, wrong size, wrong everything, according to the people who matter here. She has one rule: don't bleed where they can see you. But when her mother's surprise marriage drops her into the same house as Callum Voss, Hartfield's golden quarterback, the boy who once watched her be destroyed in front of the whole school and said absolutely nothing, invisibility stops being an option.
Callum has a flawless exterior and a rotting foundation underneath. A younger brother with medical bills nobody talks about. A father who collects trophies, including a new wife, like acquisitions. A mother who chose peace over her children. He does not do feelings. He especially does not feel for the girl, his father just made his stepsister.
But walls are only useful until someone stops believing in them.
When Sable Voss, Callum's calculating ex, films Wren's worst moment and posts it for the entire school, Callum has to choose between the life he performed and the girl who made their cold, contractual household feel like something real. Wrong call, Callum. Because Wren Calloway is done surviving. She came to win.

Seraphina Ashborne has spent nineteen years being called Hollow. No wolf. No power. No place in the brutal world of Thornmere's Bloodfang Pack. She scrubs floors, takes beatings, and survives on scraps while everyone around her shifts, bonds, and belongs to something greater than themselves. She belongs to nothing.

But the night Alpha Ronan Greymane arrives for a routine territory inspection and his wolf recognizes her as his mate, everything Sera thought she knew about herself begins to crack. A strange heat burns in her blood. Her eyes turn gold without warning. And a creature made of darkness and too many teeth breaks through her window looking for something it calls the Tribrid.

Suddenly the girl who was told she was nothing is being hunted by everyone.

A blood message left by dead wolves at the eastern border carries a warning from a Dragon King who claims she belongs to him. An exiled dragon prince appears inside a fortified compound and tells Ronan Greymane that he is also Sera's mate. And deep in Sera's blood, three ancient bloodlines are waking up one by one... vampire, werewolf, and dragon... each one more dangerous and more impossible than the last.

Sera is not Hollow. She never was.

She is the last living Tribrid. A being so forbidden that the three kingdoms of Verathorn once united just to destroy every trace of her kind. Her existence breaks the Covenant of Separation. Her power threatens every throne. And her heart is being pulled in three directions by three men who are bound to her by something older and stronger than any law.

In a world built on separation and fear, her blood is a rebellion. And she is just getting started.

For nineteen years, Castella Celeron Valtheris has lived as the symbol of hope and the sole heir to the throne of Caeloria. But behind the noble title, she is merely a woman bound by rules and expectations. Freedom is a dream she chases only in the shadows. Slipping away from the quiet city of Evrithall, far from the watchful eyes of the court, to taste the world forever forbidden to her.
Everything changes when a new royal guard from the capital, arrives to protect her. With his striking presence, molten golden-brown eyes, and unyielding demeanor, Kael is a constant reminder that freedom might be nothing more than an illusion.
He watches her every move, challenges her defiance, and unknowingly sparks a fire as dangerous as the creatures lurking beyond the Thaldrun, the colossal wall that shields Caeloria from the horrors of the Nyxthrad forest.
Outside that wall, darkness thrives. Nyxthrad is home to ancient terrors: a blood-hunger plague that turns men into Morvane, swift, ravenous hunters far deadlier than the dead should be and other beasts pulled from the oldest legends.
Each attack pushes Caeloria closer to the brink.
When the secret of her blood, and the ancient power it carries, comes to light, she realizes she is more than an heir. As the shadow of war looms, the lines between duty and desire begin to crumble.
The dangerous tension between her and Kael draws her into a battle not only for her kingdom, but for her heart.
Will she defy the destiny carved for her, risking everything for the freedom she craves?
Or will she surrender to a path that demands her trust in a man who may be as dangerous as the secrets he keeps?
