“Damen,” I breathed, “s-stay away! Or e-else, I will c-call the p-police.”
He took a step forward despite my warnings. Was he not scared of me? How dare he?! So what if he was the prince of the night court? Everyone was equal before the law!
“I am the law” he drawled, standing too close for my comfort, “this is my realm, Lilith, and you broke the rules.”
“I-I did n-not,” I gulped. Oh no, did he see me adding bleach to his shampoo? Shit, what if he saw me wiping off my snot on his pillow?
“I told you to stay away from that hunter boy,” he bit out, “Yet, you disobeyed.”
“Bruh, that was the matter?” I asked in disbelief, “you scared me for nothing. Has all that voodoo messed up with your head? Do you even know what Aiden means to me?”
Big mistake. His eyes flashed in an inhuman way and he slammed his clenched fist against the wall, making me jump. I shrieked and was about to dash away but, he placed his other hand on the other side of my head and trapped me.
“Lilith,” he said in a dangerously calm voice, closing his eyes, “perhaps, you don’t realize what you mean to me. It’s high time that I show you.”
W-what? Was he going to show me more of his voodoo magic? Ugh! I was sick of it.
“It’s better than any magic,” he said, reading my mind, and staring into my eyes intensely. Before I could ask him what he meant by that, he leaned down and captured my lips with his.

My brother didn't commit suicide. He was murdered at Rosendale High, and I’m going to make his killer pay.

Disguised as a man, I’ve infiltrated the world’s most elite Alpha academy.
My target? The four "Princes" who rule the school. Chief among them is Eros Dionte. He’s also the man who has haunted my dreams since I turned eighteen.

Eros believes I’m just a weak newcomer. He doesn't know I'm an Omega. He doesn't know I'm his fated mate. And he certainly doesn't know I’m here to destroy him.

My name is Kaida Wilson, I was born into a post-apocalyptic world, a brutal dystopian. Everything on earth was destroyed by the dangerous spread of a viral virus; factories, warehouses, malls, the government, the ecosystem, and even humanity collapsed together with the virus.

This virus infected humans and mutated their genes with animal genes and partially enabled them to transform and gain the abilities of those animals. This transformation is called the Beastification mode. But unfortunately, some humans become consumed by this Beastification, turning them into a 'Fallen.'

Resources became scarce, and so did women, turning us into coveted resources too. But I wasn't about to let myself become dominated by any man after witnessing my mother's death and father's downfall in the hands of those beasts; surviving became my lifestyle.

No place was home; to survive the harsh, desolate desert, and to escape the claws of those desperate men, I disguised myself as a boy and traveled from one location to the other in search of better refuge.

But how do I keep surviving when my disguise is suddenly revealed in one of my adventurous trips, in the presence of beastified men too? How do I resist these hot and handsome men who claim that I possess a rare bloodline of a purifier that can control their beastification?

How do I say no, when they treat me like a treasure, vying to protect and care for me meticulously?

"You taste sweet." He chuckled darkly from between my legs.
This time, a full on scream left my mouth. It was too overwhelming. I groaned, burying my face into the pillow beside me. Chanting his name.
He became aggressive, grinding his tongue against my clit. I moaned as he started to work the tip of his tongue into me. It was driving me to madness. He used his mouth to pleasure me, seemingly without a care as to how much pleasure it actually brought me and something about that made me feel even more desperate, made my body crave it even more.

I let out a relieved groan,I lay still with heart racing and tried my best to catch my breath. His warm hands stroked my body again, trailing up my body. I shook from the pleasure of his fingers wrapping around my nipples.

They said I shouldn’t exist.Heaven calls me a sin. Hell calls me a weapon. I stopped caring what they thought a very long time ago.
Geminia, half light, half shadow, Half hell half Heaven if anything like that was ever possible but i was proof that the universe has a twisted sense of humor. My blood burns with Heaven’s fire and Hell’s fury, and some days, I can’t tell which side is louder. I was meant to keep balance between them… but balance went straight to hell the second he showed up.
The Angel of Death himself.When he looks at me, it’s like the world holds its breath. He shouldn’t want me, and I sure as hell shouldn’t want him… but tell that to my heartbeat every time he says my name. The power I’ve been controlling reshaped me into something else..something neither Heaven nor Hell could touch and it could and would never be undone.

The Montclair family empire was crumbling.

Behind the closed doors of a sleek, high-rise office, Richard Montclair stared out at the city skyline, his jaw tight with desperation. The legacy he'd fought to build was slipping through his fingers.

There was only one way to save it.

An alliance-one forged not in boardrooms, but in marriage.

His daughter, Elena, would marry Jaxon Wentworth. A man she had never met, a name whispered in hushed tones across elite circles.

To Richard, it wasn't about love. It was survival.
He worked so hard to keep the Montclair company on the top and he was not going to watch it crumble away.

To Elena, it was a future she never chose.

And somewhere far away, Jaxon was about to be pulled into a game he didn't know he was playing.

This was no ordinary alliance.

This was a battle for everything.

Aria had a rough background. She was the product of Alpha
Damien’s affair with a human, her mother died young, and at eighteen
she still hadn’t awakened her wolf form. Although she was taken back
to the Pack, it was only to maintain the Alpha’s dignity. In Luna’s eyes, she was a symbol of shame, subjected to years of cold stares and
neglect. The only person who truly cared about her was her
half-brother, Max. Max was about to leave for the border camp to attend a year-long
patrol training, after which he would officially inherit the Alpha
position. Before his departure, the one he worried about most was
Aria. So, he entrusted her to his most trusted friend his future Beta, and the most popular young warrior in the Pack, Leo. Leo had always
been flamboyant and unruly, adored by the she-wolves, and was
extremely reluctant to take care of someone like Aria, whom he saw as
a “burden.” However, just before Max left, the Pack’s Doctor held an
apprentice selection. Aria, despite everyone’s ridicule, insisted on
participating and, relying on her exceptional memory and calm
judgment, passed the test to become the Doctor’s apprentice. Because
of the human blood in her veins, she was especially sensitive to human
medicine. She took the initiative to study, combining herbalism with
human medical knowledge, not only gaining the Doctor’s recognition
but also gradually showcasing her talent within the Pack. From a
disregarded “shame,” her presence slowly transformed into an
indispensable medical pillar. During an herb-gathering trip for the Doctor’s apprentice trial, Aria unexpectedly encountered a rogue wolf attack.

Amber lost her wolf because her mate rejected her when she was only 15. This brought humiliation, disgust, and emotional abuse by the other pack members, as they didn't know the whole story, but it broke Amber. With her family's support, she became strong and earned a place in the pack but couldn't change their perspective towards her being a wolf-less werewolf. Then, fate twisted her story and turned her world upside down when she found that the alpha king is her second-chance mate. He didn't reject her but didn't accept immediately. He took her away to the royal pack, and there, she got another shock of her life. Unlike her birth pack, every unmated high ranker was interested in her, including the Alpha King's younger brother. What's the game of fate for her? Not only does the Alpha King become possessive towards her, ready to mark her at any time, but also his younger brother shows his intention to take her as his mate. Why? They have no answer for that, but they soon find it out, and that leaves everyone stunned. What's the mystery? Why both brothers desire her possessively? What does fate want her to face?

Sienna Halloway has always been different, the crescent-shaped birthmark on her skin is proof of that. But when a near-fatal car crash lands her in the clutches of a hidden world, she discovers just how different she truly is. Marked as the prophesied ‘Lunar Key’, she holds the power to alter the fate of the shifter world a world she never even knew existed. Ronan Draven, the brooding Alpha, wants to keep her safe. Kael Blackthorn, the rogue shifter with a haunted past, wants to unravel her mystery. And Thorne Silverclaw, the arrogant dragon prince, wants to claim her as his queen. As tensions rise and passions ignite, Sienna is caught in a dangerous web of power, prophecy, and undeniable attraction. But when betrayal strikes from within, and an enemy with an agenda of his own comes for her, Sienna must harness her untapped powers or risk losing the men who have vowed to protect her and her own life. In a world of shifters, secrets, and fated bonds, love may be Sienna’s greatest strength... or her ultimate weakness.

Humans are not allowed inside Lycan territory. So, when Henna is brought into Lycan Academy, everyone except her seems to understand one thing. She doesn't belong. She can't shift, she has no powers, and everyone in the academy can smell the sick human fear in her.

Especially him.

Andre is a Lycan prince. A predator by birth. A future Lycan King with loyalty to his pack and a mate chosen for him since birth. He shouldn’t look at a human the way he looks at Henna. And he definitely shouldn’t touch her.

But then he does, and their whole lives come unravelling. Because a Lycan Prince being mates with a human has never been heard of, and some people are willing to take that out of existence. To protect her, Andre does the one thing he shouldn't have. He hands her over to his best friend.

The only Lycan that he trusts.

The only one who starts to fall for Henna, too.

When betrayal and revenge collide, Cierra must find a way to escape and turn the tables around.

That night, I was dragged into a parking lot and beaten until my hands could never hold a scalpel again.

I thought it was random. Until I heard my own brother and fiancé talking—

"Those thugs went too far, but the result works out, doesn't it? This time, the award will go to Charlotte."

Charlotte. The "poor orphan" my family adopted.

For twelve years, she stole my papers, my opportunities, my glory. And the two men I trusted most handed her everything on a silver platter.

They called me spoiled. Selfish. Difficult.

They even believed I started the fire that killed our parents twelve years ago.

But here's the truth: Charlotte started that fire. I was the one who dragged them out.

They thanked the wrong sister. For twelve years.

Now they want me dead.

Fine. Let Penelope Ashworth die.

Ever since the war, humans were no longer the world's dominator.
Supernatural creatures broke the peace treaty and colluded together to overthrew humans’ rule.
After we failed completely in the battlefield, they decided to ‘purge’ the world of evil humanity. I survived from death in that brutal slaughter but was captured and imprisoned in a dungeon where I had now lived for five years.
Business was the only reason why they kept immatures and even spared us shelter and food. When we reached 18, we’d be sold as slaves.
That night I was bought by a mysterious guest and taken to somewhere I had never been to or heard of. My work was to serve three noble masters residing there. They were all supernatural, but decent and reasonable. So it’s better for me to carry out the plan for escaping. It all went well until someone attacked me.

Even as the words left his mouth, Ronan's hands moved without his command, his fingers curling into Dimitri’s linen shirt, as if pulling him closer rather than pushing him away.

Four years of scholarships. Four years of straight A's. Four years with Leo—my first love, my forever. I thought I had it all figured out. Study hard, graduate, build a life with the boy who promised me the world. Except the world he promised me was a lie.

Heartbreak tastes like betrayal. But I don't have time to fall apart—I have a lesson to teach. Sophia Voss, daughter of Wall Street's most elusive billionaire, is waiting.

What I don't expect? Her father, Elias Voss, cornering me in his room. His thumb catching my tears, tilting my chin up until I'm drowning in those gray eyes.

"He's a fool," he murmurs, his breath warm against my temple. "A boy who couldn't see the woman right in front of him."

His hand slides to my waist. My resistance crumbles. Then he leans in, his lips brushing my ear:

"You're so tight, Miss Reed. Perfect."

Wait—is he talking about my teaching? Or something else entirely?

One night becomes one mistake becomes his mouth claiming mine, growling, "Marry me."

"You are my promised love," The cursed boy said. "My mate."

I could only stare at the boy in front of me, my head still working around the fact that he'd just revealed his curse some minutes ago.

"You are cursed," I managed to get out, my eyes finally daring to meet his. "The witch cursed you."

"She did," He agreed, his tone almost bored. "She cursed me for my wish, but she didn't deny it. You are my love in this lifetime, and you are the beast's love."



The first time it happened, no one could believe what was right in front of them. There was too much blood for the eyes to comprehend, and too little body left for anyone to recognise the victim.
The second time it happened, people spent hours of their night trying to find a connection between Mrs Evermore and the new victim, Mr Heimdenger. The murders had been about a month apart, but the corpses were too similar for one to mistake it as two different murderers, both torn apart into nothingness.
The third time it happened, people started whispering about a curse. The witches of the village had spoken and told everyone about how someone had opened a door they weren't supposed to open, and now they were all punished as the dark magic plagued their grounds.
It went on like that for a while, but the month it took my mother, I swore to slay the beast myself.

Many women wanted Captain Zyd McCluskey's attention as he is the ice hockey captain on a team in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but he remained committed to his relationship with Kate—the woman he was about to marry.

But one night, a beautiful Filipina approached him at the bar and slapped him hard. Not only was he slapped, but he was also kissed in front of his team. Accusing him of deception and toying with her heart.

Zyd assumed it was just a dying hard fan attempting to get his attention. But fate was playing on him. Kate, his fiancee, cheated on him in order for him to exact his vengeance. He made the wrong decision.

He married the Filipina named Lianne with the intention of hurting his cheating fiancée, but as time passed... He was the one who was envious whenever a man approached his wife, who did nothing but hurt his fucking head down there inside his pants.

Fuck!

His damn pet was waking up, and he couldn't control himself with just the woman's lips and voice.

Dr. Nyla Vance never believed in destiny, until she met the beast in Cell 7.

As a researcher at a classified facility, her job is to study the creatures, ask no questions and never get close but when she's assigned to feed Specimen 7, a feral captive werewolf, something inside her awakens. The dreams haunting her for months suddenly make sense.

She's his breeder and his fated mate. And they're using her to create an army of hybrid soldiers.

Zane Wilder has endured eight years of torture and experiments. The moment Nyla steps into his cell, his dying wolf recognizes what his captors hid: she's the one who can stabilize his fracturing mind, heal his poisoned body, save him from the serum killing him.

But the facility will never let them go. When Nyla discovers she's already been injected with experimental hormones designed to trigger the breeder bond and force pregnancy, she has seventy-two hours before the transformation becomes permanent.

Run with the monster who's claimed her heart or become the facility's perfect breeding machine forever.

"I don't know why you hate me so much. I just know that you are my first and last love. You are just mine. You are my craziness, my stubbornness. And you know only that person seems beautiful to us who we love. And to me, only and only you seem beautiful because you are my love and you are just mine. You only belong to Shah Mir Malik...."

Shah Mir is the king of the mafia. He is known as a cruel, heartless, and arrogant man. His single death glare is enough to instil fear in the people around him.

Aleezay is a feisty, proud, and egoistic girl, who is the daughter of the lord of the king. She doesn't give a fuck to what others say or made her do it. She is the worst pampered and spoiled daughter of her father.

Ever since Shah Mir laid his eyes on Aleezay, he has been hell-bent on naming her to himself. But the haughty Aleezay isn't interested in him to accept him or his love.

How things will accelerate between both when they are poles apart from each other?

Join the spectacular voyage of Shah Mir and Aleezay to experience a boost of emotions that will make you grin in excitement and next moment pull out your hair in frustration.

She went into the forest to hunt so she could bring food home and survive the winter, unaware that something far more dangerous had already caught her scent and followed her back.

When the beast comes to their farm, it is not by chance.

He knows she is there.

And her stepfather sees an opportunity to make more coin.

For a handful of coin and without hesitation, he offers her up in exchange for more than they have ever had, sealing her fate with a bargain she never agreed to.

Taken into a cursed land ruled by a creature feared by all, she is forced into a life she never chose, bound to a beast who is as cold and unforgiving as the winter itself. He is not a man, not fully, and the darkness within him is something no one has ever been able to control.

She should hate him for what he is and for the power he holds over her, yet the longer she remains in his world, the more the truth begins to unravel. There is something deeper beneath the cruelty, something hidden within the curse, and something in her that seems to answer it.

As the line between monster and man begins to blur, she is forced to face a truth she never expected, because surviving the beast may not be the hardest part.

Learning to trust him might be.

In a world where magical courts wage war through cursed flesh, enemies are turned into monsters and used as weapons. A politically vulnerable woman, Lyx receives a deadly and dangerous gift. Her enemy sends her their most powerful weapon: a cursed beast built to kill her and leave no trace of a mistake. She was never supposed to survive the night. But instead of running, she does the unthinkable—she speaks to it like a person. That was her mistake, or maybe her salvation. The curse begins to crack.

The beast, once a powerful man, Cael. chooses not to kill her. And neither of them can walk away. Now bound by something neither fully understands, they must survive enemies who want the weapon back.

Now the enemy is afraid of what they created. Bound by something neither fully understands, they must survive enemies who want the weapon back. The courts want what she has broken, returned, or destroyed. Because the greatest threat isn't the curse; it's what happens next when it finally breaks.
And the man emerging from the beast. Cael. Who owes her nothing and has every reason to leave, has decided, for reasons neither of them has named yet, to stay.

Six years ago, to save her mother, Heather betrayed the man she loved - sending Kieran to prison with her own hands.
Six years later, he returned as the most ruthless and powerful CEO in the capital. His heart turned to ice. Her name? A curse on his lips.
Now a disgraced single mother, Heather works odd jobs to raise her daughter. When fate throws them together at a nightclub, he pulls her into his arms, "You've fallen far, haven't you?"
He humiliates her, punishes her, and demands she repay every tear he shed behind bars... until he discovers the truth: she never meant to betray him.
But it's too late. She had already walked into the ocean - convinced the world no longer had a place for her.
He thought he'd erased her from his heart. He was wrong.
Now, he'll do anything to bring her back - no matter the past, no matter the cost.

I killed the Alpha.
At least that's what everyone thinks. I'd always been regarded as the black sheep of my family and Pack, the cursed girl.
Not only was I born mute, I never shifted at age 14, like a normal wolf should. That began my life of misery.
Due to unfavorable circumstances, I was blamed for the Alpha's death and demoted to the Pack's slave.
My life became hell on Earth but I endured it, hoping that one day, the truth would finally come out in the open.
I realized my life was over, the minute I found out I'm the Alpha's mate - a man who despises me with every breath and thinks I killed his father........

"Our worlds cannot be merged together; no matter how much we try, it will be useless. We just have to give up!" Elise's voice shook, though her alpha glare never wavered.
Rory stepped closer, his voice low and guttural. "You think I don't know that? I know it's impossible… I know you can't abandon your people, and I can't abandon mine."
His hand brushed her cheek, eyes blazing. "But that doesn't change the fact that I crave you. Every breath you take pulls me closer, no law or bloodline can stop it. Tell me you don't feel it too… and I'll walk away."


Every year, Elise, the fierce heir to the SilverClaw Pack, walks into the grand mate-gathering hall with hope burning in her chest—only to leave alone. Without a mate, she can never claim the Iron Throne. And this year is no different…
Until a violent storm changes everything.
Stranded on the wrong side of town, Elise crosses paths with Rory, a rough-edged, dangerously handsome rogue leader who's younger, untamed.
He's everything she shouldn't want. Rough where she's refined. A leader of outcasts, branded an enemy to her people. Forbidden.
But fate doesn't care about bloodlines or crowns. The Moon Goddess has other plans.
No law, no tradition, not even bloodlines can break the pull between them. But with packs divided and war brewing in the shadows, choosing Rory could cost Elise her throne… and spark a conflict that might destroy them both.
Torn between duty and an impossible love, Elise must decide: Will she walk away from her destiny… or risk everything for the mate the moon chose for her?

"What exactly do you see in him? I'm more handsome, and I treat you better, so why do you have feelings for him?” His husky voice vibrated in the dark room, scattering the wine bottle into a thousand pieces.

Lydia stood her ground, refusing to be scared. “Why are you so angry? You're getting married next week, aren't you? So why can't I sleep with him?” She asked with a grimace.

He growled, letting out a low howl, and his eyes turned golden yellow. “You belong to me, your body, soul, heart, flesh….. everything's mine!” He whispered, slowly moving towards her like a predator.

Lydia’s eyes widened, trembling, she began to take steps backwards. He smiled on seeing her reaction. Alpha likes to chase after their prey.

But suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a half-dressed man entered, his eyes burning with rage. “How dare you touch what's mine, boy?!”
———

She lost her memory, but not her destiny.

When Lydia Rockwell, a quiet orphan turned corporate rising star, wakes up from a brutal accident, she remembers only two faces; Justin Magnus, the ruthless Alpha heir who once mocked her, and Harridan Wolfe, the man she'd secretly loved for ten years.

Now caught between two powerful men and a past soaked in betrayal, Lydia must piece together the truth, about her parents’ death, her hidden bloodline, and the accident that almost ended her life.

But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. Because Justin’s father will do anything to keep their family’s secrets buried…
And Justin himself is hiding something far deeper.

In a world where power replaces packs, love isn’t just forbidden, it’s fatal.

Will Lydia fight for justice and freedom, or fall for the man her heart and fate can’t let go?

I thought that after twenty years with the Sterlings—even as an adopted child—I'd at least count as family. But the day they found their biological daughter Victoria, they announced they were throwing me out and planned to humiliate me at the family gathering. Based on what right?

Even more disgusting was how my almost-fiancé Blake immediately started fooling around with Victoria, eager to watch me get kicked to the curb!

When everyone was lining up to step on me, it was Alexander—the one I'm supposed to call "stepbrother"—who protected me. In his apartment, when he stood behind me gripping my hand as I chopped vegetables, his breath grazing my ear before he finally bent down to kiss me... my heartbeat went completely erratic.

Since the age of 12, Aurora had known that she would be Raymond’s future Luna and wife.
However, just before inheriting his Alpha position, Raymond found his fated mate—a rogue girl named Giana.
Forced by his parents, Raymond had no choice but to marry Aurora. Yet on their wedding night, he abandoned her to be with Giana.
Tormented by the mate bond, Aurora ended up having an ONS with a handsome and charming man.
But how could that man turn out to be Raymond’s best friend, the Alpha King’s nephew, and notorious playboy—Kane…?

"Go take a shower. I'll be waiting in bed."

In the hotel room, Lydia was tipsy, her fingers fumbling absently with the man's tie. He leaned in close to her ear, his voice low and smooth: "Let's shower together."

She thought he was just a paid escort she'd hired for the night.

It wasn't until later that she found out — he was the wealthiest man in New York, the head of the Levitt family, Simon Levitt.


Lydia's life had never been her own. Her father wanted to marry her off to the playboy Ivor in exchange for business interests. Her stepmother Marlo and half-sister Natasha worked together to push her out. The inheritance left by her birth mother was withheld by her father as leverage. And at one point, her own father and stepmother had secretly plotted an accident to get rid of her for good. With nowhere left to turn, she struck a clear-headed deal with Simon — she would use his influence to break free from her constraints, and he would use the engagement to consolidate power within his family. The prenuptial agreement was spelled out in black and white. There was no room for feelings.

But fate never follows the script. Simon's ex, Elizabeth, suddenly reappeared claiming to be carrying his child. Natasha threw herself at him in a desperate attempt to take Lydia's place. And Simon and Ivor turned out to be half-brothers. Lydia's birth father's death also seemed tangled up in all of it. She was at the center of the storm, with danger closing in from every direction.

The man she thought was only using her kept showing up at her most dangerous moments — taking back her mother's inheritance, putting Hector in his place, shielding her from threats coming at her from all sides.

She asked him, "What do you actually want?"

He looked down, pressed his lips to hers, and said nothing.


Then one day, Lydia stumbled upon a long-buried secret between her mother and the Levitt family —

She and Simon had never been a coincidence. Not from the very beginning.

And Simon had known all along.

Behind this "mutually beneficial" arrangement, what was the truth that had been hiding there the whole time?

I sacrificed everything to save my mother—even my freedom.

The night I won the award that was supposed to fund her life-saving surgery, I walked in on my fated mate tangled in bed with my best friend.

He said I was “too boring to love.”
She whispered my mother was “better off dead.”

Broken and desperate, I made the deal I swore I never would—I sold myself to Alpha Damien Gatsby, heir to the Gatsby empire.

Cold. Ruthless. The most powerful Alpha in Faellac City.

But I didn’t expect his touch to set my blood on fire.

And I never imagined the man with the coldest heart would steal mine.

Now the mate who betrayed me wants me back.

The Pack that rejected me wants me silenced.

And the Alpha who owns me… refuses to let me go—even if it destroys us both.

When Calistra, the goddess who created all werewolves, awakens in the body of Zara a broken omega who took her own life she finds herself trapped in a cruel punishment. Her new mate is Rafael Prickette, the Alpha’s reckless son and the man who made Zara’s life a living hell.

Stripped of her divine power, Calistra becomes his servant, forced to endure the bond that ties her to the one she despises most. But when the mate bond defies his cruelty protecting her, punishing him it sparks a dangerous pull between them.

Vengeance was meant to be her purpose. Desire was never supposed to be her weakness.
