I was born a girl — and immediately erased.

Raised as a boy.
Obedient to the last breath.

They had one final instruction:
transition, marry the woman they chose,
and disappear completely into the lie.

I refused.
So they killed me instead.

I died with a cursed pendant around my neck
and hatred in my heart.
That hatred broke the seal.
The gifts my bloodline had buried for generations —
I woke up with all of them.

To stay out of my parents' reach —
already hunting me down to finish what they started —
I stopped going home.
I moved into the school dormitory instead.
A boys' dormitory, specifically.

Four roommates.
I knew who they were.
I just didn't know them yet.

That changed.
So did other things.

The glances that linger a second too long.
The small, deliberate ways they find to stay close.

Fifteen years ago, my fourteen-year-old sister Elise died on her way to the town flea market. She'd been raped. Her legs sawed cleanly off.
Our mother—perpetually drunk—didn't even look at the body. She just tore at the frozen mud with her bare hands, nails splitting, blood mixing with slush.
"The dolls! Where are the dolls she had? Where are they?"
Fifteen years later, I'm a child welfare caseworker.
Today, a girl we'd just pulled from an abusive home handed me a broken porcelain doll.
"Sloane," she whispered, "I found this in the trash. Its legs are broken. Can you fix it?"
The moment I took that doll, I froze. Tears came without warning.
Fifteen years. I finally understood where to start looking.

On the second floor of this old Victorian house is a long hallway with a dark red rug. Six doors are evenly spaced along its walls.
We lived here peacefully for ten years.
Until last month, when my seven-year-old sister, Maeve, suddenly refused to set foot in it.
The adults dismissed it as a childish phobia.
Until late one night, hiding under the covers, she pressed her face to my ear and whispered:
"Don't count the doors."

“Mr. Hale, step away from the chest.”

The officer’s hand stayed on the latch beneath my brother’s portrait.

My mother clutched the donation envelopes to her chest. “Lena is doing this for attention.”

Dad gave the room his lawyer smile. “My daughter hides when she wants sympathy.”

The volunteer pointed at the broken white ribbon. “Then why is there blood on it?”

The room went quiet.

I stood beside them, dead and barefoot, watching Dad’s face change.

Because for once, someone was about to open the place where they had left me.

Holly Leefe has seen it all. Being a medium keeps life interesting. Not that it needed any help. She already had a psychic for a husband and a clairsentient teenage daughter. Data analyst by day, ghost hunter by night. Unless it was football season. She did live in Texas after all.
This fall Holly and her husband Jesse are trying to help a widower and his fiancé discover why suddenly stilettos are being thrown through their TV. Plus a few other nuisance cases. As if helping the dead and raising a teenager wasn’t enough, the ghost of her grandmother won’t rest until the family home is returned to its 1980’s glory.

I’ve seen the living; I’ve seen the dead. I’ve seen angels and I’ve seen demons. No matter how many malevolent or benevolent beings I interacted with, none could terrify me as much as the spirit that walked through the door into the kitchen where I was cooking dinner. Mentally bracing myself, I stirred in chili powder to the ground beef on the stove before I acknowledged the woman that was now looking over my shoulder.
“That’s too much seasoning. It’s going to be too spicy.” I turned to face the food police. “You need to call your mother.” It was an order, not a request. I raised an eyebrow, inviting her to explain. “She won’t listen to reason.”
“Are you two still feuding?” She had been fighting with my mother for the last two and a half years. I’d inherited the “gift” from my mother who had gotten it from my grandmother and so on and so forth. They didn’t need me to pass messages back and forth. She seemed to have forgotten that I had refused to get involved.

He’s a mercenary.
She’s an innocent young woman.

Beneath the circus lights, nothing is as it seems.
At Crow Circus, the show hides a stage of betrayal, vengeance, and dark secrets.

Jack Crow was once a young dreamer, destined to inherit his father’s legacy—the command of the circus. But a cruel betrayal changed his fate forever. Betrayed by those he called friends, Jack was thrown from a moving train and left for dead. No one expected him to survive. But he did, and what returned was no longer the same man. Disfigured and consumed by pain, he became something far more dangerous.

Ten years later, the masked clown returns to the circus. But he’s not there to entertain. He is cold, ruthless, and has spent a decade planning every detail of his revenge. One by one, the traitors will pay.

However, even Jack wasn't prepared for Selly. The aerial ballerina, with a pure soul and mesmerizing beauty, awakens something in him he thought was lost—his humanity.
Selly, a girl marked by a tragic past and silenced by childhood trauma, is the light breaking through Jack’s darkness. But what they share runs deeper than attraction. Their fates are bound by a web of secrets that trace back to the night everything changed.

With Christmas approaching and the spotlight shining on Crow Circus, Jack prepares his grand return: an unforgettable performance of justice, revenge, and devastating revelations.

Get ready for the final act, where love and vengeance collide. And under the big top, there will be no escape for the traitors.

"What? Why would I show you my blood?" she asked angrily.
"Just let me go" she whimpered moving backward.
"Stay put or I won't be gentle" he threatened.
"Leave me alone, I don't want to do this. I'm a virgin, I haven't done this before" she raised her voice a little.
Immediately after she said that he moved away from her and just stood staring in disbelief
"W... What did you say?" he stuttered.
"I... I'm a virgin" she said again.

At night, he's someone else entirely. A deadly mafia is feared by all, whether young or old.

The first time Aura shattered a sacred relic, she was six years old. Her coven never forgave her.

Spells fail in her presence. Magic bends. Candles die the moment she enters a room. For nineteen years, she has survived the fear of her own people by asking no questions — until the night vampires descend from the mountains of Sol Diminium and drag her into the heart of their kingdom.

Hidden within forbidden journals is the truth of her birth: Aura is not simply a witch. She is something the gods never intended to exist.

Now hunted by immortal factions who would rather see her dead than free, Aura finds herself entangled with Xarion Dravenor — the cold, dangerous vampire prince whose cursed body reacts to her in impossible ways. His hunger stills at her touch. His curse… pauses.

He needs her to find a cure for his dying kind. She needs him to reach the one relic that might keep her from burning alive from the inside out. Their alliance is a bargain written in blood and desperation.

But the road east runs through lycan territory, ancient sanctuaries, and a valley overrun by ravenous vampires with no humanity left. Every step draws them deeper into a conspiracy older than the war itself — and closer to a truth that could shatter the balance of the world.

When gods feud, monsters rise. And Aura may be the most terrifying one of all.

The Dragon King slammed her against the door, one hand gripping her jaw, tilting her face up to his burning red eyes.

He growled low against her throat, soa close she could feel the heat radiating off his skin.

I believed that the only girl dirt biker in the contest, Tomboy, would win this year. But Eric thought otherwise...And he was willing to bet me a week of slavery on it.

Fifty thousand dollars brought them together. The truth might be the only thing that keeps them alive.

Cassandra Cole was twenty and desperate.

No job. No home. No money. No family support.

One night, after being stranded, she ended up sharing a bed with a stranger in a hotel she stumbled into. The man was intoxicating sharp jaw, midnight eyes, authority dripping from him. She thought it would never happen again, so she let herself get lost for one night.

But when she woke the next morning and saw 20 dollars left on the bedside table, she shattered.

She believed he paid her.

She believed she meant nothing.

She took the money angry, humiliated, broken and walked out.

She didn’t know she was pregnant.

And she didn’t know the man was Eric Kingston, the heir to Kingston Enterprises, who thought she disappeared before he could even ask her name. The 20 dollars was a mistake: he meant to leave it for room service. But when he returned, she was gone, leaving only confusion and a scent he couldn’t forget.

Cassandra left the city for a countryside town, raised her son alone, and built herself up from nothing. Four years later, needing bigger opportunities, she moved back to the city and landed a job at the biggest corporation in the country.

Kingston Enterprises.

She didn’t know the man she was about to work for was the same stranger from that night.

And he didn’t remember her he only remembered flashes, the softness of her voice, the way she whispered her name, the heat, the innocence. But her face… he forgot after years of burying the memory.

Cassandra lied and pretended they’d never met.

A rich heir and a part-time barista—same world? Not even close.

On the day the apocalyptic flood swallowed the city, I died on a fractured overpass.

The man who crushed my fingers under his boot was my brother-in-law, the very man I had sacrificed everything to support. And standing safely out of reach, watching coldly as the muddy torrent swallowed me whole, was my supposedly sweet and devoted fiancée. In her arms, she fiercely clutched her "son"—who was hoarding the last of my survival rations.

In the very last second of my life, she nestled into the arms of her ex-boyfriend and left me with a single, contemptuous sneer: "Let's go. Forget about this useless trash."

It turned out that working my fingers to the bone and emptying my life savings had all been a pathetic joke—a long con orchestrated by a pack of bloodsucking parasites.

But when I opened my eyes again, I had returned to exactly one year before the apocalypse began.

My fiancée was standing there, holding a cup of hot coffee and sweetly begging me to invest another million into her brother's business.

I just smiled, gently pushed her hand away, and turned around to liquidate every single asset to my name. With that money, I secretly constructed a state-of-the-art, deep-sea underground fortress.

Later, when the monstrous floodwaters inevitably tore the city apart, they stood on the balcony of their doomed mansion, desperately falling to their knees and begging my icebreaker for salvation.

Sitting inside my perfectly secure command cabin, I took a leisurely sip of hot coffee and softly gave the order:

"Open fire. Don't let this trash dirty my deck."

"I will fuck you, ruin you just like your father did to mine",
THE RUSSIAN MAFIA’S HIDDEN SECRET.
I knew she was the daughter of the man that killed my father but I needed to be inside of her again.
I wanted to fuck her so badly and my dick was hardening more.

Fifteen years of believing his lies. I played the perfect, innocent fiancée, only to discover he was sleeping with his sister-in-law and plotting to have me drugged and ruined on our wedding eve. Six years later, when I finally slammed the divorce papers on his desk, I thought I was free.

But instead of signing, my cheating ex-husband dropped to his knees, his eyes dark with a sudden, twisted obsession.

"Aviah, I was wrong. I'll give you everything. Just come back to me."

I laughed softly, leaning into the broad chest of the masked male escort standing beside me. "Why would I want your pathetic money, August? Since you couldn't be a real man, I hired one who actually knows how to satisfy me."

I walked away, ready to leave him in the dust. But as my hidden identity as a top aristocrat's long-lost heiress is exposed, my ex-husband’s regret turns into madness.

Worse? The "cheap escort" I've been paying to protect me turns out to be the city's most ruthless billionaire CEO... and the secret father of my five-year-old twins.

Will my ex-husband survive the wrath of the woman he once scorned, and what happens when the billionaire realizes I've been treating him like a cheap toy?

"He's not just your son, Olivia—he's the heir to a power greater than any of us. If you run, you’re putting a target on his back—and yours!"

Olivia Sinclair's voice broke as she stepped back, cradling her son. "Stay away from us, Ethan. You’ve lied to me before. How can I trust you now?"

Ethan Cross, billionaire Alpha and the father of her child, met her gaze, his golden eyes filled with unrelenting determination. "Because the moment they find out about him, they’ll tear this world apart to claim him. And I won’t let that happen."

In Silverhaven, secrets are currency, and Olivia has the most valuable one of all: her son Leo, the unacknowledged heir of the Lunar Legacy Pack. For years, she’s stayed hidden, raising him alone. But when Leo’s powers begin to surface, their fragile life shatters.

Ethan, ruthless and enigmatic, storms back into her life, bringing a whirlwind of danger and deception. As rival packs and bloodthirsty rogues close in, Olivia is thrust into a world of dark alliances, forbidden prophecies, and a deadly war for dominance.

But Ethan isn’t the only one with secrets. Olivia’s past holds a truth that could change everything—a legacy that ties her fate to the very prophecy threatening their survival.

“Run all you want, Olivia,” Ethan growls, his voice low and dangerous. “But if you leave, you won’t just lose me. You’ll lose him.”

Before she can respond, the windows shatter. Shadows spill into the room, and an inhuman snarl echoes in the air.

The hunt has begun. And this time, no one will escape unscathed.

For seven long years, I failed to make my husband love me.

"This date has been going really while, if I do say so myself, which is why I was wondering if Miss Gold would object to being my wife?" he says so smoothly I almost think I imagined what he said.
"..." I stare at him mouth agap.
"Well, you see we seem to be getting along well and you see I need a wife and I feel that we don't clash in personalities. So, I was wondering if you would be interested in being my wife or at least consider it?" he adds when he saw I was not answering him.
"I don't know. We just met" I say hesitantly.
I could not believe I was even considering his offer. What the hell is wrong with me?
"I know. Do not reject now. Just think about it. Let us see today is Monday I will give until Wednesday." he says as if he knew I was going to say yes.
"Oh. urh okay. I will think about" I say softly looking down at my coffee.
"Thank you, Miss Gold" he says, putting his hand on my own hand.

"I, Xavier Moretti, reject you. A human girl has no place by an Alpha’s side."
Five years ago, those words shattered my world. I was Xavier’s top assistant, his shadow, and secretly his fated mate. But to the billionaire Alpha, I was a liability he couldn't afford.
I fled the city with nothing but a broken heart and a life growing inside me.
Now, I’m back. Not for him, but for my son. Leo is five, he’s brilliant, and he’s starting to shift. I only needed one month of work to pay for the suppressants that would keep him safe. I thought I could hide in the sea of employees at Moretti Global. I was wrong.
One scent. One accidental meeting in the boardroom. And suddenly, the man who threw me away has me pinned against the wall, his wolf howling in recognition.
Xavier wants me back in his bed and under his thumb. But when he discovers the boy with his eyes hiding in my apartment, the game changes. He wants his heir. He wants a second chance.
I signed his "Nanny Contract" to stay close to my son, but as the silver moon rises, I realize the billionaire who rejected me will burn the world down to keep us. But can I ever forgive the Alpha who broke me?

I thought I was just an ordinary potter who fell for the wrong man—a billionaire heir who could never truly be mine.

I thought the worst pain would be watching him choose someone else.

Until that DNA report shattered every illusion I'd ever held.

Phoenix Blackwood and I... we're siblings.

For twenty-three years, I lived inside my mother's carefully woven lie. She wasn't just some nameless maid—she was the woman the Blackwood family destroyed and discarded.

When I watched that man drop to his knees, screaming "What does blood matter? I love you!" I finally understood....

"It's the night before you and Taylor's wedding, and you expect me to go to his bachelor party, break in - of course carefully - and make sure he doesn't have sex with a stripper?"
"Yes."
"You are crazy!"
Yes, Mary thought her best friend Amaya Peterson was really crazy, which actually showed that Amaya Peterson had no confidence in the man she was about to marry!
In fact, even Amaya Peterson didn't understand why she should marry a man who was going to cheat on her on the eve of the wedding? Why marry a man who didn't love her enough and couldn't even please her?
She had no choice but to push herself into a completely unknown fate!

Ashes in Her Mouth

The fire took more than walls. It took names. Faces. Pieces of me I’ll never get back.

Now it’s back. Different street, same smoke. Same teeth in the dark.

The brass call it arson. I call it unfinished business.

Every blaze leaves a mark a body, a whisper, a threat carved in soot. Someone wants me chasing. Someone wants me choking on the past.

I should walk away. Let the flames eat the city clean. But the next fire is already lit. And I know where it’s burning.

Not a matter of if I get there in time. Just what I’ll lose when I do.
