Worse yet, Julian is the man who shared her one reckless night five years ago, the father of her hidden genius child...Or was it his twin brother she fell for?

" What are you?" Amelia stuttered, moving backward until her back touched the wall.

"What am I? Well, I am an Alpha in the werewolf world," Bruce D'Amelio spoke up, a sly smirk dancing at the corner of his lips.

"An Alpha? I am doomed!" Amelia turned pale as she watched Bruce turn into a big black wolf with golden eyes, right in front of her eyes.


On the day of her wedding to her fiancé, Tristan, Amelia discovered that he had been cheating on her with her best friend, Lilith.

Desperate to save herself from marrying a cheater like Tristan, Amelia found herself a new husband - a stranger she met in the wedding hall's restroom.

Without even knowing what he was, she proposed a contract marriage.

What would Amelia do once she found out that the man she married was not an ordinary man?

How would she react if she saw him transform into a big black wolf?

Sebastian trapped me against the wall, his eyes fixated on my lips. "I warned you," he snarled. "I do not want to see him near you!" He leaned in, blowing air on my neck before inhaling deeply. "Just because I haven't marked you yet doesn't mean you can be around other men. I don't want to be covered in another man's blood, but if you have a twisted desire to see me kill, bring it on!"I scoffed, meeting his gaze defiantly. "Does that make you my hero or my Alpha?"

He chuckled, his breath tickling my ear. "No," he growled. "It makes you mine. And I don't mind proving it right now." His words sent a shiver down my spine, making my eyes dilate. "Let's start from this dress, then.”

Betrayed by the man she had loved and devoted her life to, Isabella found her world shattered when her husband cheated on her and impregnated her best friend. To make matters worse, everyone seemed to side with the ones who had wronged her. Broken and alone, Isabella had no choice but to relinquish her Luna title and become a rogue. Then she encountered Sebastian, the cold, arrogant Alpha of Silver Pine, and made a dangerous deal with him to seek revenge. Despite knowing it was a mistake, Isabella couldn't deny the way he made her heart race. When she met Vincent, Alexander's sweet and yet possessive brother, she found herself torn between the two men who would do anything for her. But their lives would forever change when they discover a secret that would bind them together in unexpected ways.

At fifteen, I was Raven's deadliest weapon—until the night I pointed a gun at Luca Moretti's head. He should have killed me. Instead, he offered me something I'd never had: a normal life. Now I sit in designer uniforms, struggling with algebra while hiding a body count that would terrify my classmates. But when my past sends assassins to my prep school and the mafia heir watches me with eyes that see too much, I'm caught between two worlds. Luca says he's my uncle. Luca says he'll protect me. But why does his heartbeat race when I'm near? And what will happen when he discovers the truth I'm hiding.

If they wanted to play with her heart, she would play with their lives. In this game of marriage, passion, and betrayal—only Marceline decides who wins

I’ve been many things in this life, a neglected daughter at the family table, an unwanted bastard kept hidden behind closed doors, a bargaining chip passed about so easily.
Now?
Now I’m Luca Donell’s wife. He’s the crown prince of New York’s deadliest Mafia family.
And I am the sacrificial pawn my father offered up in exchange for power.
“Gain his trust. Feed us intel. And when the time is right, kill him.”
I agreed to it to fulfil the promise I made to my mother but nothing about Luca is what I had expected. Not his soft voice in the mornings, not the way he watches me like I’m very valuable to him.
And definitely not the way he whispers gently in my ear, “I understand you,” when his hands rest gently over my heartbeat. “Even the parts you don’t.”
I swore I’d destroy him.
But why is it that each time I hold the knife to finish the mission, my hand won’t stop shaking?

When Lucifer appeared in my bedroom wearing an impeccable suit, I dismissed it as a dream. But the Prince of Darkness had chosen his prey, and one fateful night changed everything.

Now I'm bound to a possessive, dangerous being who sets my body aflame with a single touch. As his dark desires threaten to consume more than just my flesh, I realize I have only one choice: destroy the devil himself before he claims my soul forever.

"911, what's your emergency?"
What came through wasn't words—it was raw, desperate sobbing.
In Oak Creek, a well-respected couple called to report their daughter had died. But when officers stepped through the door, what they found made a veteran sheriff drop to his knees and retch—
Their 36-year-old daughter had become part of the couch.
Her body had fused with decomposing foam, waste, and writhing maggots. Skin adhered to cracked leather. Her stomach contained couch padding and her own feces. She weighed 65 pounds.
Through tears, her parents explained: "She had severe autism... wouldn't let anyone touch her..."
But neighbors told a different story: Nobody had laid eyes on this girl in twelve years.
Then investigators found something beneath the couch—freshly used cleaning wipes.
Someone had crouched beside her decomposing body and methodically cleaned her. For days.
Then who stays that composed in hell?
Grief—or guilt?

A man's luxurious watch slipped out of my wife's purse. Without batting an eye, she lied, "It's a gift for your dad." Looking at the youthful, trendy style and thinking of the remote-controlled toy that had mysteriously appeared in the nightstand, I felt nothing but utter disgust.
In the surveillance footage, the domineering homewrecker not only wore my clothes but also arrogantly taunted me.
And my own flesh and blood, the son I cherished more than my own eyes, had covered for them for a few hundred dollars of pocket money!
Since everything was rotten to the core, I wouldn't even want the son anymore.
Without a word, I accepted a tenured professor position overseas, decisively gave up custody, and promptly mailed the divorce papers and the adult toy to her company.
The mistress and the homewrecker's little celebration? Let them torment each other.
This time, I'm taking my life back.

"I have no husband. And my son has no father. To me, Alpha Kael died five years ago."

Five years ago, Selene was cast out of the Silver Moon Pack while she was pregnant. She was shamed as a traitor, and left to die in a storm by her own husband, Alpha Kael. He chose to believe a vicious lie over the woman who was his mate.

Selene did not die, though. She survived in exile, raising Leo, a child with forbidden powers strong enough to shake the earth. Selene swore she would never return, until fate brought them together again in a deadly confrontation.

Now, Kael kneels at her feet, begging for forgiveness as he looks at the son whose face mirrors his own. The once cold and cruel Alpha is now willing to lose his throne and his life to win back the family he cast away.

But Selene’s heart is tightly closed. She has returned not for love, but to take revenge on everyone who ever destroyed her.

As the secret of the "Golden Heir" begins to come to light, will Kael manage to atone for his sins? Or is his betrayal too deep to be forgiven?

I'm screwed.

If I want to keep my dream job, my new (and way-too-attractive-for-his-own-good) boss says I have to score an interview with one of the legendary Fontaine brothers of Hollywood.

I know three things about the Fontaine brothers:

that they're Hollywood royalty,
that all four of them are ridiculously, mind-numbingly sexy,
and
that they never, ever give interviews.

My only chance is to seduce one of them. The only problem? Historically speaking, I'm way more likely to put my foot in my mouth (or generally make a fool of myself) than charm the pants off anyone.

That's where my way-too-sexy boss comes in. He might hold the fate of my job in his hands, but he's also totally willing to teach me the art of seduction. I only hope I can survive his lessons. . .

Due to explicit scenes, this steamy romantic comedy is rated 18+.

The man who had been cruel and indifferent to me before had become as gentle as water. He even knelt on the ground and begged for my forgiveness. "I'm sorry, in the future, I am willing to atone for my sins with the rest of my life."
Just as I was about to continue my revenge, I slowly realized that I was not completely ignorant of what had happened in the past two years.
Should my revenge plan continue?

That's not something Annie Morales ever expected to hear in that hospital. One moment, she was just living her simple, quiet life—ordinary and struggling. Next, she finds out she’s carrying the Alpha's heir, and worst of all, she has no idea how it happened.
Now, her world is unraveling—witches, werewolves, ancient powers she never believed in. Everyone seems to want the baby; some wish for its death, while others seek to exploit it. And in all this chaos, she feels lost, unsure of who she really is.
Then there’s him—the Alpha. Confident, feared, charming, and unpredictable. He was cursed by a witch, destined never to have a child of his own, but he turned to IVF. He’s the last person Annie should be involved with, but for some reason, she can’t seem to escape him.
Now, caught up in his world and bound to a prophecy she doesn’t grasp, Annie faces one option—navigate the turmoil growing inside her, or watch as it consumes everything around her.

Betrayed by love.

Shattered by his words, Samantha’s life ended in agony. Yet the Moon Goddess granted her a second chance at life...
This time, how will Samantha live on? How will she take her revenge? And what greater purpose lies behind the Moon Goddess’s plan for her rebirth?

I needed to find the secret door in his bathroom, but I didn't expect him to walk in while I was on my knees. João Pedro stood in the doorway, water dripping from his wet hair, a towel barely covering his waist. His cold eyes scanned me, then the bathtub I was inspecting. “What are you doing in my private bathroom, Katherine?” My heart raced. I couldn't tell him I was a hacker looking for his illegal lab. So I lied. “I... I lost something.” He took a step closer, the scent of mint and dangerous pheromones filling the small space. He trapped me against the cold tiles, his wet skin burning against mine. “Did you lose this?” He whispered, his hand brushing my cheek, then sliding down to my neck. The tension was unbearable. He thought I was obsessed with him. “If you wanted to see me naked, you just had to ask.” He leaned in, his lips inches from mine. “But be careful... once you enter my room, I might never let you leave.”

“It feels good, doesn't it," Gabriel asked as his hands roamed my body, stopping directly on the swell of my breast. His hands crept downwards until he was fully cupping my boobs.

I hummed in response, too distracted by his hands fondling me to say a word.

“Words, baby," He whispered into my ear.

I gasped, my chest heaving in anticipation. “Yes…yes…yes. It feels so good."

His hands moved up my thighs, stopping dangerously close to my pussy. “Did your ex-husband make you feel this good?" I shook my head immediately, not having to think before answering.
