In the languid twilight of existence, where the air hangs heavy with the scent of forgotten dreams, a figure lurks within the confines of the Vampire Zoo, a private prison adorned with the grotesque glamour of human fascination. Bohdan the Vampire Ripper, a creature of legend and lore, finds himself ensnared in a gilded cage, revered by a chorus of prison groupies whose adoration masks their own morbid curiosity.

Together, they plot an escape that will shatter the delicate balance between the past and the present.

AN AGE GAP, FORCED PROXIMITY, BLACK FLAG ROMANCE

Vincenzo Valentini is a man who sees the world as a business counter and human beings as merchandise.

The owner of an empire built upon corpses and submission, he is the reflection of pure perversity.

When fate places Andrew Thompson, the son of his greatest rival, into his hands, the plan was simple: use him, break him, and discard him like a toy that has lost its appeal.

What Vincenzo did not expect was that, beneath the youthful skin and the appearance of innocence, Andrew hid the same abyss as he did.

Vincenzo never wanted redemption. He never wanted someone to save him from his own darkness. He was seeking a mirror. And in Andrew, he found the partner who, upon seeing his blood-stained hands, does not recoil in terror, but trembles with desire.

In this perverse game, the "little toy" proves to be the perfect executioner. The mafia leader found someone who not only accepts his cruel side but cultivates it, feeding the monster Vincenzo has always been.

Where there should have been fear, lust emerged. Where there should have been hatred, a perverse loyalty was born. Andrew Thompson is the dark reflection of Vincenzo, the soldier the underworld did not see coming, and the man who proved that, for some, paradise only makes sense if it is in the middle of chaos.

Vincenzo opened the doors to his empire, but Andrew was the only one capable of invading his heart.

They are not heroes. They are hell on earth.

Andrea has everything but the one thing she desires most, Love. All she has ever received from Love is pain in return. There is no love in her life, but everything changes when she takes a trip to Italy. She reunites with her first Love, Stefano Costanzo, a cold, ruthless man who hates Love. He would rather pull his heart out of his body than feel Love, but for how long will he hate Love?

Will the cold, ruthless man allow himself to love again, or will our Andrea never find Love?

'Stefano, you don't have a say in who I date."

'I do when it concerns your safety."

But, as we all know, secrets do not remain hidden forever.

What happens when a girl who has always been fascinated by the idea of paranormal entities learns they aren't legends?

The unexpected happens right when she is digesting this surprising reality. Her life takes a sharp turn, and everything she previously knew is turned upside down.

Years have passed since the tragic incident, but fate dealt me another blow when I discovered that my mate was the brother of my deceased best friend.

"I, Elijah Hernandez, Future Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, reject you, Amelia Green of the Blue Moon Pack, accept this rejection, or else…"

I thought this was the end of my life but I was wrong. My dark fate got brightened when my second chance mate ushered in my life, who was none other than the Lycan Prince...

​"Welcome to Blackwood Academy: Here, you’re either the hunter or the prey."
​For Elara Vance, the only way to survive this savage hierarchy was to remain invisible. The bitter potions she consumed for years didn’t just seal her cursed wolf—they marked her as a target, masking her true nature with the scent of "rot."
​But hiding became impossible the moment the school’s ruthless heir, Alpha Kael Draven, locked his eyes on her.
​To everyone else, her scent was repulsive. To Kael, it wasn’t disgust—it was a dark obsession waiting to be unraveled. He had caught the scent of the dangerous truth buried beneath Elara’s "rotten" mask: A Lie.
​As fate plays its cruelest hand, Elara is caught between two fires:
On one side, Asher, the school's Golden Boy and her fated mate, who rejected her in revulsion...
On the other, the obsessive Alpha Kael, who shadows her every move, whispering, "You are my disaster."
​With blackmail messages from an unknown number backing her into a corner, time is running out. When the potion fades and the silver-leafed ivy reveals the truth, Blackwood Academy will be shaken to its core.

“I just gave you pleasure,” Valen skited like it was a great achievement to boast about. He felt no guilt for his earlier sin.
“I did not ask you to.” I retaliated. It was wrong of me to fall victim to his allure. It was purely Zeus’ fault. His wolf was nicer.
“You like it though.” His voice was low and throaty with a triumphant grin. Damn his ego! “You didn’t want me to stop before.”
Blood rushed to my face and I blushed in shame as he stared at me. I stretched for a pillow and sailed it at him. He caught it with a devious chuckle.

Hated upon first sight, Amira cursed the Moon Goddess to find out her mate was the tyrannical Alpha King she'd been trained to kill.

"I want to sleep with you." Lendon stared at Kendra, blurted out his perverted words. Then, he grabbed Kendra's shoulder suddenly. He was pushing her to the bed.

Kendra pushed Lendon away and raised her palms on his chest, "Wait! Why do I have to sleep with you? You just slept with that woman."

Does he have a lot of energy to sleep with several women? Besides, Kendra knew herself well. That woman was way hotter than her. She pouted her lips when she thought how Lendon enjoyed that beauty earlier.

"Do I need a reason to sleep with you?" Lendon shouted in anger.

"But the contract…." Kendra said.

"I am Party A." Lendon interrupted Kendra and narrated proudly, "You should cooperate with me all the time. Do you forget?"

Looking at Lendon's eyes, Kendra felt horrible and shook her head. It seemed that she couldn't escape tonight.

Heartbroken by her parents cruel death and her cursed fate, she wanders into the outer lands, rejected and unprotected.

“You shouldn’t have come back, Aeron.”
Selene’s voice trembles, her golden eyes glowing beneath the rising Blood Moon. “They’ll kill you for this.”

“Let them try.” His hand cups her cheek, rough from battle, tender with regret. “I’ve already died once— the day I let you go.”

She turns away, chains still biting her wrists. “I’m cursed, Aeron. My blood is poison. You should’ve marked Amera… saved your pack.”

He leans closer, his voice a growl of truth. “You are my pack. My curse. My salvation.”

“Then you’ll burn with me.”

“Then I’ll burn gladly.”

When a cursed crimson Wolfborn girl becomes the key to an ancient prophecy, and the Alpha who once rejected her defies fate to save her, love becomes rebellion, and sacrifice becomes destiny.
As the Blood Moon rises, the world will learn that even the cursed can conquer fate and that a love marked by scars can still burn brighter than the gods’ lies.

I was just an ordinary girl—until the Vampire King claimed me as his cursed mate. Now my blood holds a power I can’t control, one that awakens only when I’m threatened… which in Lucian’s deadly court is every moment.

Training under a king who is as dangerous as he is mesmerizing, I’m thrown into duels, missions, and political traps designed to break me. The rival princess wants me destroyed, the council wants me tested, and a prophecy says my blood could change the entire vampire world.

I must learn to wield a weapon that is my own self.

As a low-ranking scholarship student, Saphielle learned that at Velmorne Academy mercy is a luxury she can't afford. Living as a toy for the cruel elite, she thought she had hit rock bottom, until her boyfriend dumped her publicly, stripping away her last shred of dignity. But as she ran from her shame, destiny intervened, leading her straight into the arms of Prince Azrael.
Azrael has spent four centuries haunted by a curse, hunting for the one destined to save him. When he encounters Saphielle, he finds a girl who should be an outcast, her lack of scent is a terrifying taboo among werewolves. Yet, her eyes trigger a hunger in him that no prophecy could have prepared him for.
Saphielle is the one Azrael shouldn't want. She belongs to his enemy, and she is the woman his fiancée wants destroyed. But Azrael doesn't care about the rules of men or wolves. He has found his obsession, and he will never let her go.


"Azrael! What are you doing?" I gasped.
He'd dropped to his knees before me, smiling devilishly.
"I told you," He lifted my dress and it took everything in me to not hide myself as he tugged down my panties. "I want to taste you."
My eyes widened but I stepped out of them, because really, I wanted this.
But… "Not…not here anyone could see!"
"Put your leg on my shoulder," he said instead.
And I did as he asked, placing my left leg over his shoulder.
"Good girl."
"What if someone looks for me. I've been gone for minutes!"
"Then let's see how fast I can get you to cum before anyone misses you."
I wanted to argue but my words morphed into a strangled gasp at the first swipe of his warm, wet tongue against my swollen clit.
Fuck. God's. Fuck.

"You weren't fit to be my mate, Tara... Now, you're not fit to live. I'll make sure you beg for death."


Tara was born an omega.
Weak. Orphaned. Unwanted.

Her only hope of redemption was being mated to someone of high status and her joy knew no bounds when she found out she was mated to the alpha of her pack.

But on the night of the mating ceremony, he rejected her in front of everyone...choosing another she-wolf as his mate. Humiliated and broken, she ran away and locked herself in.

But on the day she finally freed herself, the head maid turned up dead, and Tara was framed for it. She fled to save herself but was caught and condemned to death.

But something worse than death came.
A devil in human form. Alpha Lucian Thorne.

He bought her... Not to save her...but to destroy her until she was nothing more than ashes.
She is now trapped in his world of darkness and blood. And she must find a way to escape his lethal clutches.

But why does he make her nervous whenever he comes close?

Lilith, born to be cursed as feared by many. Her mother arranged a marriage between her and Prince of the Zaryth Kingdom, their longtime rival. This marriage would bring peace between the two kingdoms. But in the castle lies secrets and not everyone is who they seem to be. Lilith comes across a stranger in the castle who is more than he seems to be. Will Lilith choose her kingdom over heart?

Locked away as a cursed Omega, she's been treated as an abomination—a stain on the WhiteMoon pack that must be erased. She doesn't remember her birth, only the prophecy of her death. So when her final day arrives, she's ready. Eager, even.

But instead of the death sentence, they give her a wedding dress.

Aaron Blackwood—the Mad King has come for his bride. He'd planned to slaughter the WhiteMoon pack like all the others, but Alpha Roman made a desperate bargain: a life for a life. A sacrificial lamb in exchange for mercy.

And who better to sacrifice than the girl they've already condemned?

Now Odette must face a fate worse than the death she craved: becoming the bride of a monster. But the Mad King isn't the only one with secrets—and Odette's curse may be the very thing that saves her... or destroys them all.

“Why would I mate with a useless Omega like you? you have caused misfortune upon misfortunes on your pack and several other packs due to what you did and now you want to mate with me?
I would never mate you, the moon goddess is trying to punish me but I wouldn’t take you for anything.
You would always remain without a mate. You have been condemned and there’s nothing I can do about being your fated mate.” He said, and my world was left broken all my life.
I had thought about the day when I would meet my fated mate and how happy I would be with him after but now that he has rejected me what would I do?


Blair, a weak omega of a small pack the Crescent Moon pack is chosen as the one to be sacrificed to the moon goddess in a ceremony that the werewolves believe in.
Though heartbroken, Blair accepts her ill fate, but on the day of the ceremony her father disrupts the ceremony, refusing to let Blair be sacrificed in a ceremony he doesn’t believe in.

EXCERPT:

"Rayne stood looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her a pale green ballgown clung to her curves and left little to the imagination. Her jet-black curls are swept up and pinned to her head, leaving her neck exposed. Tonight was the night that most of the unmated wolves in all the North American packs would hopefully find their mates. She was sure all of them were just oozing with excitement.

She was not.

No one knew I was an addict.
Not to alcohol, not to drugs, but to the rawest, dirtiest kind of union.
To keep up the facade of this respectable job, to stop myself from turning into some desperate, heat-crazed stray begging for a man’s touch on the street, I had to swallow those little blue pills every day.
Until that damn blizzard trapped me with thirty hockey players reeking of sweat and testosterone, and my pills—gone.

(From 'When His Wolves Sing' comes another epic tale)

"What Is Fate, Alpha Of Alphas?"

Fate:

In the heart of the training grounds, the Alpha of all Alphas stood, his presence commanding and his aura crackling with electricity. With his black hair billowing behind him like a cape, he fixated on a mysterious figure that materialized before him. As his eyes transformed, reflecting the colors of his father's Wolves, his Beta's urgent question fell on deaf ears. Without hesitation, he aimed his wolfsbane arrow at the target, his wolf battling for control. Against the pleas of his inner beast, he released the arrow, piercing the heart of his prey. The aftermath left him shattered, consumed by guilt and sorrow.

But Fate had more in store for him.

As he knelt, broken and weeping, his Lycan roared within him, demanding answers. The Alpha Of Alphas, rising to his feet, faced the lifeless form before him. Tears streaming down his face, he addressed his Beta, speaking softly of the cruel twist of fate that had befallen him. Forty years without a mate, only to be granted one by the Luna Goddess herself-a fierce Tiger, and not just any Tiger, but his sworn enemy.

And then, a voice emerged from the shadows.

A child.

Fate just got a whole lot more badass.

The three alpha wolves who bullied me
never knew the truth.

I wasn't the quiet boy they tormented.

I was the girl hiding behind my dead brother's name.

And I was their fated mate.


For a year, I lived under my dead brother’s name, hiding my identity and my power.

But on my eighteenth birthday, everything changed.

My disguise shattered.
My power awakened.

And the broken boy they mocked became a legendary Lunar Shadow Wolf.

Now the three alphas who once humiliated me feel every scar they caused.

They want forgiveness.

Too bad.

Because the wolves who once bullied me?

They belong to me now.

And this time—

they’re the ones who will kneel.

After she watched her mom die due to negligence from the very people she had worked tirelessly for, her only goal became to watch Vincent Crost crumble.

It all started on the night before her birthday When she suddenly received the doctor's reports that she was pregnant. How? When?

Everything happened just the night before her birthday.

Ashina thought she didn't have anything to worry about since her husband had chosen her as his wife and cherished her a lot. She thought it didn't matter that her stepsister was her husband's mate.

While expecting the man to reject her stepsister, Jessica just like he said he would, instead she was the one that got rejected and banished from the pack.

“I, Alpha Ethan, reject you as my wife and banish you from the pack, Ashina!” Those were the words playing in her head when she left the pack and finally crossed the border with her maid.

But little does she know that there's more awaiting her when she finds herself begging for her life in front of the three most ruthless alpha brothers.

Zombies surrounded the city. I charged alone through the quarantine zone and retrieved the vaccine.
All of humanity hailed me as their savior.
But Amy, my superior and fiancée, pushed me aside at the medal ceremony.
"Your hands are covered in blood. Stand back. Why can’t you be more like David?"
"A truly civilized person ought not to even bear the sight of bloodshed."
Just to live up to her definition of being civilized, I locked away all my guns and became her obedient errand runner for three years. I took bullets for her time and again, yet still got blamed for not being gentle enough.
When the virus mutated later on, I crushed a Tyrant’s skull with my bare hands to save David right on the spot.
She held the trembling David tightly in her arms, slamming the table and yelling:
"If you don’t fix this violent streak of yours, you can forget being my husband as the bureau chief. Apologize to David!"
Every dose of the vaccine I fought to get with my life was used by her to fawn over that pretty boy.
I removed the magazine from my gun and tossed my medal into the rubble.
"You can give this position to whoever you want."

The dealership called to inform me that my Rolls-Royce Starlight Headliner had been replaced with a pink one and was ready for pickup.
I was bewildered. I hadn't driven that car in ages—why would anyone change the headliner without my knowledge?
I confronted my husband, who managed our garage, demanding an explanation.
"Honey, maybe they got their wires crossed. I'll swing by the dealership later and sort it out."
I wasn't about to waste my breath. Instead, I called my friend directly—she happened to own the dealership.
"William's having an affair. I'm going to catch him red-handed."

“I have two offers for you.” Doctor Wayne handed me a cup of juice.
I don't like this at all. I gulped down the juice thirstily. “What are they?”
“The alpha is in need of a surrogate mother and Luna for five years. He’s willing to pay a fortune, no strings attached, and after that five years, he will divorce you and take the child.”
“O…kay.” I swallowed hard, trying to hide my apprehension. “And, the second offer?”
His gaze locked with mine. “I inject you with a different sperm, you become his Luna but before the end of your five year contract, you MUST kill the Alpha.”
I flinched. My heart hammered with fear, and my wolf became restless inside me.
“I… I…”
He smiled. It was a vile smile. “You know you will never amount to anything. So, you can either accept my bidding, save your mom and secure a future for yourself or refuse my offer and wait for your weak mother in hell. You have five minutes to decide.” ******************************************
My name is Aurora and I’m the legitimate bastard of the Beta family. I have been poisoned, and now it’s my life versus that of our ruthless Alpha.
It's up to the goddess to decide whether I’d ace or fail this mission, but whatever the outcome is…loving the Alpha is NOT an option.

“She is my Luna. My only. Touch her, and you answer to me.”


Derek Livingston was the Nightfang Pack’s golden boy—until betrayal in a sacred hunt shattered everything. His wolf bound, his power stolen, he went from revered heir to the pack’s biggest joke. A broken Alpha, with nothing left but anger and disdain.

“Leftovers? That’s what they gave me for a mate?” Derek scoffed, staring at the quiet girl sent to him in a political trade. Amanda Kingswell, the Emberfang Pack’s most invisible daughter—overlooked, unassuming, and completely beneath him. Or so he thought.

Amanda had spent her life hiding in her “perfect” sister’s shadow—quiet, sharp, and desperate to break free. She thought her fate was to be a pawn in a loveless marriage… until she discovered her secret: she’s the only one who can shatter Derek’s curse.

First meeting? Pure hostility. He mocked her weakness, she hated his cruelty—neither wanted anything to do with the other. But when Amanda’s untamed blood gift awakens, and Derek’s bound wolf stirs, they’re forced together. And soon, they realize: this “absurd” marriage was never an accident—it was fate.

Family secrets unravel, and the betrayal that destroyed Derek is darker than either could have imagined. But with Amanda’s power, the broken Alpha rises—stronger, deadlier, and ready to claim his throne. And when he roars to the pack, his voice shakes the ground: “She is my Luna, my only Luna!”

"I won't let anything touch you," he whispered, huskily. "Not fate, not death. And if I have to fight the heavens and hell to keep you safe, I will."


Ariel thought fate had finally shown mercy when the mate bond tied her to Rhyder, the powerful Alpha of her pack. An omega like her, chosen by him, felt like a blessing. Yet blessings demand sacrifice. To prove she deserved his love and the Luna crown, she endured humiliation, pain, and doubt. She ignored every warning sign, convinced love was worth the price.
Just when she believed she had finally earned her place beside him, Rhyder's long-lost ex returned. With one cruel decision, everything Ariel had fought for shattered. Cast aside, rejected, and broken, she vowed she would never open her heart to another Alpha.
But fate never shows mercy. Captured by the ruthless Rogue Alpha, Ariel finds herself betrayed by her own heart once again. His touch ignites fire. His darkness speaks to the wounded parts of her soul. His quiet promises awaken a hope she thought had died.
What she does not know is that he carries a curse written in blood. Every woman who has ever loved him has lost her life.
Will Ariel be the one who breaks his fate? Or will she become the next woman swallowed by darkness, forgotten and gone forever?

For years, Lyra was the prophecy.
She had the red hair, the green eyes, and the singular destiny: to become Luna and bring unrivaled power to the Incarnadine Pack. She dedicated her life to Alpha Rhys, trading her orphan past for a powerful future.
But on the day of their engagement, Rhys shattered her world with a single, cruel declaration. He presented a perfect, prettier copy of Lyra —and publicly rejected his rightful Luna.
Cast out, ridiculed, and targeted for death by the very pack she was meant to rule, Lyra ’s only path to survival was the most reckless gamble in the Land of Verdentia: she submitted her name for the Alpha King’s Luna Selection.
The prize is a crown. The cost is suicide.
King Kian is dark, cold, and rumored to be cursed. Every she-wolf fears his name, yet Lyra is determined to earn his terrifying affection. She must. His power is the only shield strong enough to stop her former pack from tearing her apart.
But just as Lyra begins to melt the ice around the King’s heart, a desperate Rhys realizes the devastating secret he threw away and comes crawling back, determined to reclaim his Luna. He discovers, however, that the Cursed King is fiercely territorial.
“Lay a hand on my Luna,” Kian snarls, his voice a promise of utter destruction, “and I’ll destroy you and your entire pack.”
Lyra survived one betrayal. Can she survive a King’s obsession, and a former Alpha’s desperate regret, without losing her soul entirely?

Isla, a human in a supernatural world, lives in a remote werewolf pack. Shielded by her father, the Alpha, Isla's existence is a delicate secret, for the Alpha King's laws forbid humans from walking among werewolves. But when the formidable Alpha King Tristan Norththorn arrives, seeking an alliance, and more urgently, his fated mate, tensions rise. As Tristan's ruthless search for an heir leads him to the one woman he cannot have, Isla must navigate the treacherous waters of pack politics and her own startling heritage. With her life and the safety of those she loves hanging in the balance, Isla stands at the heart of a curse that could either spell salvation or doom for the Sovereign Claw Pack.

Vera's life unfolded like a nightmare. She was dragged into the clutches of a ruthless Alpha, who forcefully mated with her, tormented her, and left her pregnant. Out of anger, Vera had a one-night stand with the king of all Alpha, Lycan King Leo. He craves her touch to shatter his lustful curse.

Vera's desperate bid for freedom lands her in a slave establishment, where she must confront her darkest fears.
Which of her Alphas will buy her first? They both need her and she hates the both of them?


Before I could react or reply, Anna struck me with the iron rod, Jerome used to discipline me, and I lost consciousness.

When I regained consciousness, my eyes took time to adjust to the darkness that surrounded me. The side of my head hurt and throbbed in pain. Moving my body, I heard the sound of chain clinks, and it didn't take me much time to realize where I was. Scrambling over the floor, my hand touched the iron bars, and my heart sunk in realization. I noticed the inscription boldly written on the walls, and I could hear the wails of women and children.

“I am back to the slave establishment!” I gasped, my eyes wide with horror as I clutched my belly in a futile attempt to shield my unborn children from the darkness that surrounded me.
