Isn't that enough, your Majesty? We've already done it four times.

Warning : 21+

Disha combed her half wet hair with her fingers. She sat on the grass which was right by the river. Prince Leonidas who was still in the middle of the river looked at her.

He saw Disha daydreaming as if thinking about something. In his eyes, Disha looks so perfect. A beautiful woman with a slim body and sparkling skin. He was so in love that he really hoped Disha could fall into his arms forever.

Leonidas stepped out of the river and approached Disha who looked at him with a sad look. Leonidas pushed Disha's body slowly until this woman lay under his body. He kissed her lips again after being sure that he was starting to get aroused seeing Disha's naked body in front of his eyes.

"Isn't that enough, Your Majesty? We've already done it four times. Don't you feel tired?" Disha's voice sounded so soft in Leonidas' ears. Her hand stroked Leonidas' face.


Getting involved in a forbidden scandal with the crown prince and his twin brother makes Disha decide to leave her hometown, The Almaric Empire and her father who is the Commander of the knights.

By inheriting the ability of her clan which has nine lives, Disha accidentally enters the Kingdom of Paradise, a kingdom led by a young king who suffers from a disease.

To avoid capture, Disha decides to disguise herself as Sapphire, a brave young warrior who is asked to become the king's personal guard. Sapphire who died mysteriously made Disha believe that she could take on the role and become the confidant of the king who is the enemy of the Almaric Empire.


I am Disha Varadkar, daughter of the Knight Commander of the Almaric Empire, Sheerkan Vardkhar. I hate Prince Leonidas, but I always wanted to be with him. He and I share the emotional bond that everyone calls "love." But the curse of the ancestors made me have to submit to him as a slave due to the defeat of my ancestors in the past by the Lycans whose descendants have now become the rulers of Almaric and my clan as slaves.

My love and hatred for Prince Leonidas forced me to leave, until I found my true master, King Ellios who is called "The leper king of Paradise"

I reached below and tried to open his belt buckle with one hand. Thankfully it was easy. I continued and undid his button as well as the zip. My reward? The sight of his underpants.

And the beautiful bulge hiding underneath.

Avery allowed me to feel it from inside the fabric. It was so firm, strong and hot. Just feeling the weight of it in my hand made me want to put it in my mouth and wet it for him before he slides inside.


Poisoned, framed, and divorced, no one believed that Bianca was innocent enough to stand by her side.

But he did.

Avery, her ex-husband Conroy’s best friend, might have all the tools she needs. Not to mention he’s willing to help her out despite the bad blood between them.

Yet why does Avery feel the urge to capture Bianca’s lips in his? If he exposed his heart to her, would she stab it?

Seven years ago, I unexpectedly transmigrated into the treacherous world of the North American mafia.
 
The System told me that as long as I accumulated a 100% "Angst Index" in this world, I could escape and return to reality with substantial rewards.
 
But after crossing over, I became the most pampered princess of the entire Koschei family.
 
My mafia father would buy all the roses in Manhattan just because I said I liked them. My genius doctor brother once climbed a mountain in a blizzard just to find medicine for me. And my fiancé, the heir apparent to the empire, still carried a scar on his chest from a fatal bullet he took for me.
 
I lost myself in the tender illusion they had forged.
 
Just when I had decided to give up everything and stay in this world forever, I overheard my father talking to my brother in his study:
 
"The brake lines are cut. Tomorrow, as soon as the crash happens, take advantage of the chaos in the ambulance to remove Elara's corneas. Do the transplant for Seraphina immediately."
 
Seraphina was the true blood daughter they had just brought back a month ago.
 
My fiancé, Silas, merely added, "Leave Elara alive, at least. She's called you 'Father' for so many years, after all."
 
Standing outside the door, my blood ran cold like ice.
 
So the next day, I gave them exactly what they wanted.
 
Amidst the deafening crash of the collision, feeling the agonizing pain of my legs being crushed, I watched my brother sprinting toward me, carrying an organ transplant cooler.
 
A long-absent electronic voice echoed in my ears:
 
[Congratulations to the Host. The Angst Index has reached 100%. You may return to the real world upon physical death.]
 
As blood completely swallowed my vision, a trace of twisted relief welled up in my heart.

They left me to die in a burning lab while saving my faker sister. Big mistake.

I hadn't slept in six months, perfecting the neural serum that would save Mom's life. One vial. One chance. Then my adopted sister Mia grabbed it and smashed it on the floor, sobbing about how cruel I was to a "disabled" person.

Mom and Dad ate it up. My fiancé Ryan nodded along—probably because he was banging Mia every chance he got. When fire trapped me in the lab, they carried out "paralyzed" Mia and left me hammering on reinforced glass, choking on smoke.

Want to know the best part? That manipulative snake hopped out of her wheelchair and sprinted to safety the second she thought no one was looking.

Second chance at life? Hell yes.

I'm watching Mia lift that test tube again, ready to destroy everything. But instead of lunging forward like last time, I lean back in my chair.

"Smash away," I say with a shrug. "I'm not the one who'll suffer."

Let's see how this plays out when I'm not the naive fool.

In my previous life, my assistant—whom I treated like a little sister—personally handed me a cup of poisoned honey lemon water that destroyed my career.

The man I loved with all my heart ran off with every penny I had.

I died like a stray dog on the streets, with no one to claim my body.

Meanwhile, those two backstabbers took my money, sang my songs, and basked in the spotlight while thousands of fans cheered them on.

I died with so much resentment in my heart.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back at that exact moment—when my assistant was handing me that poisoned honey lemon water.

This time, I was determined to make them pay the price!

Isabella believes that her boyfriend can change is way again and be the man she fell in love with. But when she get kidnapped because of him, and he is to busy with another lady instead of saving her. She understands she is better off without him. She gets saved by her boyfriend cousin who has loved Isabella for years. Just stayed in the shadows. Will Alexander help her heal from the broken heart his ignorant cousin leaves her with, and then win her heart?

"You don't always have to say something, you know that, right?" I said, my voice sounding strange in my ears.
"You need to stop talking down on people just to massage your stupid ego!"
The worst thing about suddenly changing schools is the part where you think it's your chance to begin from the top—take life by the reins and navigate it in the direction you've always wanted. That was what Sydney Walker thought when her boyfriend, Chase Monroe, released private pictures of her right before he left the town.
Then a week after, her father is found dead in the cold rain. She was forced to go live in a whole new city with her family which she barely knew, giving her hope that she could start afresh. But news flash: she's still the same plus size, introverted nerd even in her perfect sister's kind of clothes.
And Tyler Sinclair—Lakeview's golden boy, never called it a day if he didn't remind her that she was three times her sister's size, up to their senior year. But the more he punches her in the guts, the more circumstances around her push her to fight back.
But when? And how would she finally square up to the one boy that toxic part of her secretly wants to see every day? And what about Tyler? Are his insults just mere "tease" or is there something going on in his family that no one else knows about?

OMG! I woke up to discover I'd had a one-night stand with my company's CEO!

By the next day, we were suddenly married. My supervisors and colleagues still think I'm just an ordinary intern, not knowing I've become the CEO's wife overnight.

She was sent to watch him.
Instead, she was claimed.
Valaria is a panther shifter bound by blood, law, and a future she refuses to accept. Dominic Kane is a wolf Alpha—dangerous, dominant, and utterly forbidden. Their attraction is instant. Primal. Impossible to ignore.
When their bond ignites, it shatters ancient rules and paints a target on Valaria’s back. To choose Dominic is to betray her king, abandon her pride, and risk everything for a hunger that demands surrender.
Because once a wolf claims his mate…
there is no escape.

“Daddy…” I mindlinked my father.
I haven’t spoken to him in the 3 years I’ve been married.
“Evelyn? What’s wrong?” My father asked, his voice was soft and yet was so superior.
“I’m divorced” I told him solemnly.
“Return home to the palace, my princess” my father ordered.

I hid my identity and spent five years married to Caelen—a man who claimed to be nothing but a wandering knight.

The day I found out I was pregnant, he showed up with his Black Obsidian Dragon Riders.

Turns out he commanded the Empire's most elite aerial legion.

Oh, and he was getting married. Just not to me.

"I'm marrying Victoria Ashford. The Cabinet Chancellor's daughter. We're equals in power and status, and... we've already slept together."

He promised to set me up with an estate, swore the child and I would never want for anything.

"So I'm supposed to hide in the shadows forever?"

Caelen wouldn't meet my eyes. "She'll make the perfect Commander's wife. Stay out of her way, and I can give you everything—except my name."

My throat burned. Five years of love, and this was all I meant to him.

What he didn't know: I'm Princess Seraphina Aurelian, Crown Princess of the Empire.

And there's no way in hell I'm becoming his dirty little secret.

Betrayed and bleeding out, heiress Kira Summers dies at the hands of her treacherous family.

Across worlds, Alpha King Adrian Draven begs the moon goddess for redemption after losing his mate to his own fatal mistakes.

The universe answers…with a vicious twist.

Kira awakens in his mate's body: fierce, powerful, and utterly unforgiving.

In a realm of wolves, witches, and pack politics, she trusts no one…least of all the Alpha who thinks he can tame her.

He wanted his lost mate back.
He got hellfire in heels instead.

And this new Queen? She's ready to burn it all down.

Aleena Caruso sacrifices her freedom to protect her younger sister's dream of becoming a doctor, agreeing to a forced engagement with Nico Bellini, the childhood friend who abandoned her years ago. As Nico tries to rebuild their broken bond, Aleena discovers a shocking secret he hunted down and killed the men responsible for her past kidnapping and assault.

Just as she begins to trust him again, a mysterious woman named appears, exposing more of Nico's violent past and shattering Aleena's fragile faith. Seeking distance, Aleena finds comfort in her loyal bodyguard, Zane Caldwell, who helps her recover forgotten memories and reveals that he was once the childhood protector she lost after her mother's disappearance.

Caught between Nico, who refuses to give up on her, and Caldwell, who has quietly kept his promise to protect her, Aleena struggles to choose where her heart belongs. Before she can decide, she is abducted by the ruthless Vólkova Russian Mafia, forcing both men into a desperate race to save the woman they love.

This is an early plot concept and may evolve as the story develops.

"Sophie Patterson. Don't you dare walk away from me." Logan's menacing stare bore at me. I suddenly didn't feel drunk anymore. I sobered up quickly.

"What, Logan? You're gonna tell me that you suddenly love me again? That you're here to sweep me off my feet? Please! I didn't need you all this time, and I don't need you now." He clenched his jaw, fisting his hands.

"Enough. Stop being so damn stubborn. You know I do. I love you. I never stopped loving you, Sophie. It was always you."

I left my hometown hoping to never see him again. I left with his baby still inside of me.

Seven years after, and here I am again. Standing before him and a six-year-old wanting to know who his dad is, and asking me to marry him because everyone in his class but him and his best friend don't have a daddy.

What am I supposed to do with all these feelings that are resurfacing? I'm realizing every day that I never got over him. I merely suppressed my feelings, and his telling me this now- to my face, just made things more complicated.

Riley
New name, new look, new life. I've been careful to keep my past at bay. The last thing I needed was the stranger with those calm discerning eyes to cross my path. I must avoid him at all costs, even if he haunts my dreams and sends waves of heat across my skin. My focus is survival, not lust. Not even if he ignited a longing I'd never thought possible.

Draven
A mission. Find the missing girls and bring the perpetrator to justice. The retributive kind. I've grown used to the shadows but I am drawn to her light. Moth to a flame, the only way to quell my curiosity is to satiate it. But not too much. Not completely.

TEASER:
You want me, don’t you?” A simple question that warranted a simple answer.
“Should I have had you checked for a head injury?” he scoffed, a swift blow that knocked the wind out of my lungs and I realised I had been holding my breath. My lips parted, and my chest heaved, working overtime to replenish my body’s oxygen from those few moments of starvation.
Steeling my spine, I stepped forward, invading his space, oblivious to the eyes that were thrown our way. Or was I imagining that? Draven didn’t budge, a perfectly shaped brow elevated as he considered my movement with little interest. There wasn’t a single flicker of emotion to cross his features, not even that Godforsaken misleading smile made an appearance.
“Then you’ve no reason to threaten any man I may find interesting.” I breathed the words slowly, erotically.

"What if I want to escape?"

I looked at the man before me.

He was Alexei Cardis, vampire prince, and the one who would sacrifice me with his own hands at the Eclipse Ritual.

"Then escape," he said, lowering his gaze to meet mine, his tone calm. "Just don't get caught."

—

At seven years old, I was brought into this vampire castle.

From that day on, I had the best teachers, and the most dangerous guardian.

Alexei taught me to read, taught me to calculate, taught me how to survive amid lies and conspiracies.

But he never told me—that the meaning of my existence was to become the offering on the altar.

As the Eclipse Ritual drew closer, I began searching for a way to survive.

Forging evidence, sowing discord among nobles, stealing weapons, planning my escape.

Everyone wanted to use me.

Everyone wanted me dead.

Only Alexei was different.

He stopped others from getting close to me again and again, yet pushed me toward my destined fate with his own hands.

I could no longer understand him.

Until later, when I discovered a secret hidden in a wooden box.

It turned out that behind all these years of what I thought was captivity and exploitation, there was another, more dangerous emotion.

But if he truly cared about me—

Why would he raise me only to personally send me to the altar?

And when the night of sacrifice arrives,

Will I kill him and escape to freedom,

Or will he, for the sake of the entire vampire race, kill me with his own hands?

“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.

Alpha Prince Valen, the next in-line to be Alpha King, has been Raina's crush since childhood. For years she yearned for the attention that he never gave. She was ecstatic when Valen turned out to be her mate. He was hers.

Sadly, something’s wrong with the mate bond. The old books refer to them as unfortunate soulmates. This implied that the bond would never last.

Forced to reject her and sever the bond, the painful separation exposed Raina to numerous challenges and dangers. A glimpse of the future has left her torn between the desire for her mate and the doom of their fate.

Will Raina and Valen have their happy ending or did the moon goddess have something else in store for them? Should she fight for her mate or let the course of destiny unfold? - Find out as Raina embarks on a journey filled with heartache, revelation, and an uncertain future.

When push comes to shove, the Aila and Adreanna find themselves forced to show their true powers, which they can't seem to control. Nothing is as it seems, but together, they can do anything, even tame the wild elements.
Light and Dark collide as the elements fight for supremacy. Love is found in the most unexpected places. And secret prophecies are exposed in an explosive betrayal of everything the royals think they know.

After my twin sister and I were accepted into the same elite university, our parents fully sponsored the freshman welcome banquet.

They told the university president, "This way, even at school, they can feel that parents will always be their unconditional support."

On the night of the banquet, my mother pressed a piece of paper into my hand.

"Elara, go to the podium. Read the address, and while you're at it, introduce your sister's upcoming toast. She needs the spotlight tonight."

Forcing down the tremors of an impending panic attack, I nodded submissively. "Thank you, Mother and Father, for arranging all of this. I'll read it right now."

Just as I was about to turn and read the address, a voice called out, stopping me.

"Elara, read the gratitude statement first. Remember, there's no such thing as a free dinner."

My father's voice cut through from the main table, ringing with an undeniable tone of command.

I froze at the podium.

Even though it was a perfectly heated banquet hall...

I felt a bone-chilling frost.

Sequel to Fated to the Three Alphas of Mooncrest College


I wasn’t supposed to be enrolled in Mooncrest College, the place where my mother’s story began and where mine might fall apart.

My name is Kathy Moonfall, eighteen, and yes… Malia Mooncrest and Aiden Moonfall are my parents which means everyone expects power from me—but my birthday came and went and there was nothing, just silence where my wolf should be.

So now I’m here, pretending I can be normal, just Kathy, not the girl tied to legends.

That illusion doesn’t last. Not when I meet them, Zayden and Riven Nightfang—two alphas, distant cousins, complete opposites, one calm and unreadable, the other arrogant and dangerously impossible to ignore—and somehow both of them are tied to whatever is wrong with me. One might be the key to awakening my wolf and the other might destroy me before I get the chance.

Because something at Mooncrest is watching me, something darker than anything my mother ever faced. And this time, no one is coming to save me. If I don’t find my wolf first, then being Malia Mooncrest’s daughter won’t mean anything at all…

Brianne's life was perfectly normal.

At least, that's what she thought.

Then she discovered that the Alpha of the local werewolf pack and the leader of the vampire clan had spent years waiting for her.

A prophecy spoken generations ago foretold the arrival of a female destined to mate both a wolf and a vampire, creating the first hybrids ever seen. Most believed it was nothing more than a myth.

Until Brianne.

Now two powerful supernatural males are determined to claim the woman fate created for them. Their families have been allies for generations, their friendship unbreakable, and both are willing to do whatever it takes to protect the female destined to change their world forever.

But prophecies create enemies.

Hunters see her as a threat that must be eliminated.

A dangerous stalker becomes obsessed with the power she brings.

As passion ignites and the bond between them deepens, Brianne finds herself caught in a battle that could reshape the supernatural world.

Everyone wants something from her but Brianne isn't a prize to be won.

She's a force of nature.

And she'll fight beside her mates to ensure the prophecy becomes reality.

Being a part of a reserved family, Suki knows her place within the community of the Moonstone pack. She has her duties, and she completes them perfectly, just as her father orders. As the daughter of the Beta, the second in command, she's set to live a life of importance within the pack, helping to aid it to greatness, and that's only meant to become stronger once she finds her mate.

Like every other werewolf, she has dreamt of what it would be like to find her mate when she comes of age, to know what the power of the mate bond truly feels like. However, when she turns 18, she doesn't just experience one bond... she experiences TWO.

Two separate bonds with two completely different males - bad boy Brendan and the perfect soldier Reynard. How could this be? It defies the laws of nature; all werewolves are given one mate and one mate only.

As she and her two mates try to understand their anomaly of a mate bond, they also have to deal with an even greater threat that's approaching - something that's not only a threat to their pack, but to the entire werewolf species.

Will they be able to save the pack? And who will Suki choose as her mate to finally seal the bond... Brendan or Reynard?

"I hate you," I said, but my voice came out as a whisper.

"I know," he whispered back, closing the distance between us. He grazed my lower lip wth his thumb and tugged it down slightly.
"But I still want you." He added, his lips inches away from mine.

He placed his forehead on mine, his nose grazing mine. I closed my eyes in anticipation of the kiss.

I hated him. I hated how my body react to him. To his touch, his smell, to everything about him. He made my life hell since the moment he set eyes on me. But I still can't stop myself from wanting him. I knew I shouldn't. Everything about him was wrong. He was my damnation. The King that doesn't hesitate to sacrifice his subjects. But I was far too gone to care. I would gladly go to hell if Drayton King sits on the throne.

“Clarissa Emberdale, I reject you! Leave my pack at once!!” It replays in her mind, and she is compelled to leave the group, her head down in shame. But it isn't enough to deter Clarissa from living her best life as a caregiver while simultaneously providing a better life for the kid growing in her belly. She decided to take a second chance at everything except love. Having made up her mind that there is no guy that would actually love her except to use her, she was given the opportunity to be the caretaker of the grandmother of a multimillionaire, Jason. Though he was out of her league, she can’t help falling in love with him daily. When her ex returns back with an apology and a bouquet of roses, he found out that she was already in a relationship. With rage and determination, he vowed to win her back with his Alpha abilities, because he couldn’t bear her with being with another man.

Elizabeth is a seventeen year old girl who has an ugly past due to family and emotional turmoil. She lost her best friend in the process and since then she has been having nightmares constantly for two years.

Not until she meets Adam, an eighteen years old boy who helps her with her emotional problems where she's able to get over the death of her friend and the nightmares.

But there's more to Adam.

He drinks, smokes, and loves partying. He is known as the school golden boy as he is the striker and also the captain of the school football team. He is also a popular boy in Southwest high school.

As they get close, they start to see past their big walls as they fall in love but none of them are willing to admit it since they belong to two different worlds.

I have been a keeper of many secrets since I was old enough to know what secrets were. No one knows the truth or the real me. No one knows about the abuse I suffer from my father behind closed doors. No one knows about the cuts and scars I hide from the world.

To the outside world, I am your average teenager, but the truth is, I am a broken girl with no one to love her, to see the real sadness in my eyes. I keep it to myself because I want to. It is things I have hidden for years, and no one seems to notice.

Until him, Ryland. The new boy in the town. The stranger who sees right through me from the second we meet. We are drawn to one another like a moth to the flame. The more I get to know him, the more I see I am not the only one fighting demons.

To start with, he is a pain in my ass, but every day we grow closer, and we become what the other needs. A bond develops between us, one that becomes unbreakable. Neither of us realised that when two broken souls come together, it would be exactly what we needed to help one another heal. He shows me love, something I haven’t had since I lost my mother.

I soon learn that just because you are broken doesn’t mean it needs to stay that way. Your past doesn’t need to define you.

Possible Trigger Warnings: Physical abuse (It does happen, not often and not in too much detail). Rape, suicide, and self-harm are also mentioned. It doesn’t happen in the book, but it's discussed.

On the eve of the wedding, Dante sold me to Alex, a deranged auto mechanic, for two dollars.
His friend confused.
“You’re going to marry Chole, that adult film actress. Just send Lucia away. You two were betrothed as children, and she’s lived with the Costellos for ten years. You must care about her at least a little.”
“That mechanic’s violent and ugly. She’ll suffer terribly if she marries him.”
Dante smirked.
“It’s just a small punishment. Chole comes from the bottom and is riddled with insecurities; all she wants is the title of wife. But Lucia refused to be my mistress, and worse, she made Chole cry.”
“Mark my words. Before half a day passes, she’ll throw a fit, threaten to take her own life, and beg me to let her stay by my side.”
His friend shook his head.
“Aren’t you scared she’ll go through with the marriage out of spite?”
Dante sipped his tea unhurriedly.
“No need to worry. She’s believed since childhood that she’d be my wife. Even if she’s furious for a moment, she’d never give herself to another man. I’ll rescue her after I marry Chole the day after tomorrow, then take her on as my mistress. She’ll only grow more devoted to me afterward.”
I clutched the two dollars tight and turned away without a word.

She was sold at a very young age to a ruthless man, who had no feelings, or pity for others.
She became his slave, his toy of pleasure, and maltreated her a lot in the most horrible ways.
Likewise, she hated him, for the pain and everything he's done to her.
What happens when she finds out she's pregnant by the same man who made her life a living hell?
A curse or a miracle?? Find out…

In the roaring heart of the Royalkins Empire—where gold-trimmed towers kiss the sky and secrets sleep beneath polished marble—two lives move in quiet orbit, destined to collide long before fate admits it.

Angela Hills has been raised for a throne carved from legacy, duty, and expectation. To the kingdom, she is the empire’s crown jewel: elegant, disciplined, perfect. But behind the palace walls, she is something far more dangerous—curious, restless, and hungry for a life that isn’t scripted by royal decree. She seeks freedom in midnight rides, hidden libraries, and stolen moments where she can breathe as a woman, not a future queen.

Nahim Jane is nothing like the suitors who orbit her. A palace insider yet not noble by birth, he has learned to walk unnoticed within golden corridors. But dawn after dawn, he watches Angela from the shadows of his own silence—torn between loyalty to the crown and a longing he has no right to name. His world is built on boundaries; her world is built on expectations. Together, they are a storm waiting to be born.

Yet the empire holds fractures deeper than either of them imagines. Whispers rise from forgotten lands, where ancient forces once banished are stirring again. A shift trembles beneath the surface—one that will pull Angela far beyond royal walls and into a destiny intertwined with mysteries older than the kingdom itself.

As political tides rise and forbidden emotions bloom, Angela and Nahim stand on the edge of a future where love could crown them—or destroy them both.

Two Worlds Apart is a sweeping tale of desire, destiny, and power—where the heart dares to reach for what the crown forbids, and where one choice can fracture an empire.

Ryan Derrick is a cute, handsome, innocent-looking guy and also a domineering kinda person. He is not a human who has a brother by the name of Scott and a company he runs too. The two bloodlines are not human. He is a half-human and half-demon werewolf. Scott, who also works in the same company as Ryan is a supernatural being too.
This story went down a cliff when Emily decided to find a job somewhere around the new city they came in, to support her Mom.

One fateful day, she came across Ryan’s company and was set to be interviewed for a job and there she met the handsome and charming Ryan. Everything about Emily changed suddenly the moment she set her eyes on Ryan.
Right there, the inner wolf of Ryan said, “Oh my, She’s my Mate” Ryan felt the sparks between them but quickly shooed it off when Scott came in.
Scott being a supernatural being sensed it and he immediately fumed in anger because he also got to find out that Emily is his mate too.

The two brothers will have to fight for what is rightfully theirs and only an ALPHA can win this fight.

THIS IS WHEN IT ALL BEGAN…

Selina’s marriage has been a prison of neglect. Two years of cold touches, empty nights, and a husband who refuses to notice her desires have left her aching for more than affection… aching for pleasure.
When temptation comes in the form of the household gardener, Selina can no longer resist. What begins as a stolen moment of lust quickly spirals into a dangerous, forbidden game. But the real shock comes when her husband’s son walks in, and Selina finds herself pulled into a world of dark desire, secret pleasures, and a passion she never knew existed.
Now, caught between two men who crave her as much as she craves them, Selina must navigate lust, secrecy, and betrayal—all while keeping their forbidden games hidden from the world.
In a house where every glance, every touch, and every whisper threatens to expose them, Selina will discover just how intoxicating—and dangerous—desire can be.

Toby and Jarold stand at the head of the platform at the annual pack ceremony. As the Alpha's heirs and still neither having a mate, their father had been strutting them around every pack meeting since he won the Alpha position.

"What do you think the chances of us just happening upon our mate after two years of being forced to shake every available hand in the pack?" Toby muttered to his brother between people.

"The same amount as any other occasion, which is pretty much none." Jarold muttered back, though he gave a friendly enough smile to the female in front of him who was looking up at him with stars in her eyes.

"I know it has to be skin to skin contact to trigger the mark but you'd think we'd have some clue from our wolves recognizing each other." Toby said.

"Dad said when the human form doesn't want to be mated, they may block their wolf's call." Jarold said with a shrug.

"You're up." Christine nudged her sister, Kathrine, with a grin. They had been at the back of the line, just in protest of having to be a part of the ritual at all.

With a sigh Kathrine went up in front and grasped hands with Toby then felt her eyes go wide as a slight sting lit her palm at the same time as his eyes widened.

"Now grasp Jarold's hand." A gravelly voice demanded from behind them, having not missed their reactions.

Unable to refuse their Alpha's command, Jarold held out his hand for Kathrine and the same stinging sensation touched them both.

"Allow me to introduce the next Luna and the mate of my heirs, Kathrine Brown." Alpha Jackson called out for the crowd to hear.
