I am the daughter of the Alpha who once ruled this pack. They accused me of murdering my own father. They wanted my blood.
I should have died.

But the three heirs of the pack uncovered the truth. They did not kill me. They claimed me.

I am their fated mate. All three of them.

Lucien wants to command me. Dante wants to consume me. Silas swears he can resist me, yet the moment one of them marked me, everything shattered.
Now the brothers are tearing the pack apart for me.

They believe they can break me. But the only ones breaking will be them.

This is the story of Millicent Walker, a mysterious orphan who arrived in the small coastal town of Crimson mute, nameless, and with no memory of her life before. Hired out by the orphanage to pay for her room and board, her strange appearance and mannerisms lead her to be seen as a freak. To many, she was seen as having less value than the rags she used to clean the floors.
When a blight comes to Crimson, the dragon demands a virgin "of marriageable age" as a sacrifice in exchange for his assistance.
Seen as strange, even cursed, Millicent was an easy choice for the sacrifice. Loved and wanted by no one, there was nobody to fight for her when they chained her to the cart and left her at the base of the hill to be defiled or devoured.
Little did they know, her sacrifice would be their biggest mistake.

Daphne has always lived wild. Fast cars, late parties, breaking rules, that’s her way of keeping the emptiness quiet.
Until Michael Hayes walks into her life.

Cold. Stoic. Trained.
He’s everything she can’t stand and everything she can’t resist.

From their first clash, sparks ignite.
He calls her spoiled. She calls him boring.
But every argument ends with his hands pinning her against the wall and her lips begging for more.

Their secret grows harder to hide.
And Daphne learns that falling for her bodyguard isn’t just dangerous, it could destroy everything she’s ever known but a taste of it wasn't so bad.

Varkos Draven

Sold. Caged. Owned.

Isabella Romano never believed in love, but she knew freedom—until the night she was auctioned off to Giovanni Donatelli, the most feared mafia boss in Italy. Cold, calculating, and merciless, he doesn’t believe in love either. He only believes in power. And now, he owns her.

But Giovanni doesn’t just want to control her. He wants to break her. To consume her. His touch is possessive, his words a whispered promise of pain and pleasure, and every stolen breath between them burns with something far more dangerous than hate—lust.

Trapped in his world of violence and sin, Isabella vows to fight him, to resist the heat that coils in her blood every time he’s near. But when secrets unravel and betrayals strike from the shadows, the only thing deadlier than Giovanni Donatelli himself… is the way she craves him.

In this game of power, passion, and lies, surrender is not an option. But with each passing night, Isabella begins to wonder—what if she already has?

Or maybe you should just stop being an ass-wipe all the time." I said anger and venom laced in my tone.

"Ass-wipe? Oh darling that isn't an insult to me, that's a compliment." He sounded cocky while talking.

I rolled my eyes at him, I already had the intention of leaving, when suddenly I felt him grab my hand spun me around and I saw my body crashing to his.

"What the fuck?" I said trying to push him off me, but to no avail, as his lips crashed into mine.

With nothing left to do she accepts her fate, and just ride along with it. That is until the Mate Picking Ceremony, came along and she was chosen as the Luna of the cocky and arrogant Alpha Prince Kurt Higgins.

Kurt Higgins didn't want to accept her as his mate, due to her being a weakling and not wanting to give birth to weak children. He started treating as less of a Luna and more of a slave. However his perspective of her change one faithful night, which created a bond between them that could never be broken.

But there is trouble on the horizon, as Rachel Clark is hellbent on ruining their relationship with each other, even if it costs them their lives and hers in the process.

"As your alpha and your mate. I command you to answer me."
I could feel my skin heating past a human temperature. My hands shook and I kept my nails from growing abnormally. I looked back at the alpha and he looked at my now purple eyes with a blank stare. I locked my jaw.

"Just because I have no pack. Just because I have taken care of a young pup... You dare judge so quickly that I have stolen him or killed for my own selfish needs." I stood.

"London. Control yourself. I order you-"
"Oh that's another thing isn't it? I have no pack, no family, so because I am angry I have intention of tearing down these four walls. You dare question me for taking care of my pup. You dare treat me as a savage..." I growled.
I walked closer to him and through my angry haze I saw his eyes start to change color. I was disrespecting him and he was about to be pissed.
"London, I am warning you. You will not speak to an alpha this way. " His voice was changing.
I'm sure mine was changing as well. My eyes most likely looked like purple fire.
"Well if all you see me as is a rampant rogue then maybe none of those things should happen." I snarled.
The tears would spill from my eyes and I would want to claw my anger out on something solid. Such as a tree.

London was from a pack that was killed by an enemy pack. She was only seventeen when it happened. She was the only one to escape except for a small boy named Aaron. London rescues Aaron and runs from the scene of the corpses of her pack. But once London and Alpha Mason meet, they realize they have found their mate.

Alexander, who has already fallen head over heels for her, has to help her make his best friend fall for her, but how can he when he has already fallen head over heels for her?

Everyone says that karma is a bich, but I say fate is the real btch. Or else why did it play a cruel game of killing the man whom I love the most and then let another man with the same face barge into my life?
Yes. This is what happened to me. I didn't even stop crying after the funeral of my boyfriend when I was forced to marry by my cruel father. I protested, but the stakes were high to me. Not to my father, not to this other man, but to me.
I could have handled the situation in a better way, but the face of my contractual husband shattered me again.
Above all, I am a human, and he is a werewolf. And at the altar, he told me that I am his mate too. Yet he refused to mark me because he needs a powerful mate, not a pathetic human.
Cruel game of fate, right?

"I don’t like you. I despise you. I never want to see you again. You’re nothing but a twisted psychopath!" I shouted, struggling to calm my racing heart. I hated how calm he looked, how unbothered he seemed, just like none of it mattered.

He smirked, closing the distance between us, his hand slipping around my neck as he whispered, "You say one thing, but your body says another." His voice was a low growl, making me shiver. "Better get used to this, love, because I have no intention of letting you go."


I was forced to live this messed-up life alone.

No family.
No friends.
Nothing.

With humans captured by aliens, I had two choices: become a slave or die. I was prepared for either, but I never expected that the Alien prince—the one who slaughtered my kind—would want to claim me. Not as a slave, but as something... more.

"Ella," he begged, desperation clawing at his voice, "Give me one more chance."

I died betrayed on my wedding altar.
The silver blade in my sister's hand felt colder than our shared childhood. My "fated mate" Kaelen held me down as she carved out my heart—a sacrifice for his ambition.
In my final breath, I saw him: Fenrir, the half-blood guard I'd scorned, breaking through a wall of spears to reach me. Silver arrows pierced his chest mid-leap, but his dying eyes held no blame—only a loyalty that followed me into darkness.
The Moon Goddess heard my dying vow.
Now I'm back, standing where it all began—the mate choosing ceremony. Kaelen expects me to declare him again. My sister waits to play her victim.
But this time, I walk past the golden Alpha and kneel before the broken slave.
"Rise," I whisper, lifting his chin. "The real Luna has come home."
And when they laugh at my choice, they don't see what I do: the ancient power stirring beneath his skin, the king waiting to be awakened.
Let them call him monster. Let them call me mad.
We'll show them what happens when a betrayed Luna and a fallen king unite.
The altar awaits its true sacrifice—and it won't be me this time.

Eight years ago, I was forced to marry Sicily's most dangerous man.

Louis De Santis, heir to the Santis crime family, decided he wanted me. Right in front of me, he brutally tortured and killed my fiancé Alessandro, then dumped the body in the ocean for the sharks. He used Alessandro's blood to write threats on the wall to my parents—I had no choice but to walk into that fortress he called home.

Louis was obsessed with me to the point of madness. He took bullets for me during family wars, got down on his knees and begged the family elders when they questioned his choice. Under that twisted kind of love, I gradually fell for him and gave him a son—Marco.

For five years, I thought I'd found happiness.

Until year eight, when the Corleone family sent their "peace offering"—Angelina Corleone. This innocent-looking woman effortlessly stole Louis's heart. He had the nerve to announce: "You two are going to get along."

I couldn't stand the betrayal, so I secretly reached out to other families to try getting rid of Angelina.

I got caught.

In his rage, Louis strung up 5-year-old Marco above the blast furnace at the steel mill.

"NO! Please! He's just a child!" I rushed toward Louis frantically, but his men held me back.

Molten steel roared inside the furnace at 2912°F. Scorching heat blasted upward as little Marco dangled just ten feet above the flames.

My heart nearly stopped.

"Mommy! Help me! It's so hot! So hot!" Marco screamed in terror.

"Put him down! Please!" I fell to my knees, begging desperately, "Kill me! Kill me instead! Don't hurt Marco!"

"Nod and let her stay, and I'll let him down." Louis coldly began counting down: "TEN!"

I watched Marco's little body writhing in agony from the heat.

"NINE!"

Sweat and tears blurred my vision.

"EIGHT!"

"I agree! I AGREE!" I broke down screaming, "She can stay! Please let Marco down!"

Louis smiled with satisfaction and stopped counting, about to signal his men.

Then—

"SNAP!"

The rope suddenly broke!

"NOOO—!"

Time seemed to freeze. I watched helplessly as Marco's tiny body plummeted.

"THUD!"

He fell into the furnace.

In an instant, he was gone.

I completely shattered, blood spurting from my mouth as I collapsed.

When I opened my eyes again, I'd gone back to the day Louis first brought Angelina home.

This time, I'm going to make him pay!

A car crash stole my memories, but gave me the perfect "boyfriend."

When I woke up, tattooed Knox held my hand and said: "I'm your boyfriend." I believed him. His tenderness, his daughter's affection, those photos of "us together"—what a beautiful lie.

Until a children's choir sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," and shattered memories flooded back: I was a kindergarten teacher falsely accused of child abuse, my ex-boyfriend Zephyr abandoned me for his career, his new girlfriend Sterling orchestrated the entire trap that even led to my car crash and amnesia...

And Knox? He was a complete stranger!

The most twisted part—I actually fell in love with this man who lied to me.

When Zephyr returned with regret, when Sterling threatened with malicious intent, when Knox waited in fear for my judgment... I made the craziest choice:

"I choose this lie."

On the day I lost our child, I discovered my husband entwined in an affair with his secretary.

He hurried to my hospital bed, tears brimming in his eyes, vowing that we would have another baby—while his mistress was already sixteen weeks pregnant.

Thus, I granted him his wishes: a lamenting wife's performance, a fabricated death, and a clean escape.

Three months later, he crashed through the door, eyes frenzied, proclaiming he would set the world ablaze to earn my forgiveness.

Four months pregnant, I was full of joy and wanted to tell my gang-boss boyfriend.
He had sworn that if we had a child, he'd stay away from the underworld, and live a normal life with me.
But when I appeared at his stronghold holding a first aid kit, I was treated as a bitch who wanted to seduce the boss and suffered cruel abuse.
The most ironic thing was that my husband and I were only separated by a wall, but his subordinates told him "another slut is pestering you", making him miss the moment when I needed him most.
When I woke his memory with a lullaby, it was all too late—our child had...
The good news had become a dirge. Having lost everything, I understood a truth:
Real revenge is not taking away life, but making the enemy fall into the abyss when they are happiest.

Loving him will cost them everything…

Not loving him will cost more.

Derek has one goal: survive high school without drawing too much attention or pissing off his pack’s alpha.

As the youngest son of the alpha, his life is governed by lycan hierarchy, tradition, and politics. With no signs of awakening a lycan spirit, his only value is what he can do for the pack’s image. He knows he’s only ever one misstep away from exile… or worse.

Then, he finds a boy trapped in a locker on orientation day, and everything changes.

Derek shouldn’t want Nikolias. He’s off-limits. A risk Derek can’t afford.

So why does it feel like he’s the only thing worth fighting for?

Nikolias has just lost everything: his parents, his home, and any sense of peace. Sent back to the town his family left years ago to live with his prejudiced and controlling uncle, who wants nothing to do with anything—or anyone—not human, he’s trying to do everything in his power to get out quickly.

But then he meets Derek again, and all of his plans vanish in the soft, yearning flecks of gold in Derek’s green-hazel eyes. He’s drawn to Derek in a way that’s impossible to deny, and he thinks Derek feels the same way, despite the danger their relationship holds for him.

As Moonshadow's politics turn deadly, Derek and Nikolai are caught in the crossfire of a war that had started long before they were born, and their bond becomes a threat and a lifeline that neither can afford to sever.

Because the heart wants what it wants….

And it never asks permission.
