Then his voice broke through my line of thought. "To buttress what is on the contract, there will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits.

We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word.

I watch his mouth move, with arrogance evident in the way he talks. I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached.

"Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose.

She thought it would be the happiest day of her life until her own husband’s hands pushed into hell her.
Evelyn went to the company to inform Alain about her pregnancy, only to be met with the sight of him having sex with his secretary. Alain had betrayed her.
"Let’s get a divorce," he said, the three years of affection crushed
like worthless paper.
He showed no shame as he continued his affair right in front of her,under the guise of nakedness.
"Fine,"Evelyn agreed. She looked proud and aloof. She swallowed the news of her pregnancy, holding it tight in her throat without uttering a word. But as she turned away, she burst into tears.
She returned home, prepared the divorce papers, signed them, packed her belongings, and left. But on the way, Evelyn fainted because of her foetal derangement. A kind man took her to the hospital and left her with a beautiful wish. Other than that, she knew nothing about him.
Five years later, Evelyn had a successful career and a peaceful life
with her young son - Dennis. But one day, her son brought a strange
man home, none other than Alain!
Evelyn was stunned. Her ex-husband had returned, shamelessly begging her for forgiveness, wanting to regain her and Dennis. He wanted her to come back to him.
But Evelyn didn’t agree. Despite Alain’s coercion, she refused. And at
that moment, “he” suddenly appeared, unexpectedly and silently as he
did five years ago. He pulled her up from the depths and slapped her ex-husband directly in the face with one sentence: "You’re not worthy
of her."

Twenty-five years I cooked, cleaned, and worshipped my husband David.

Then I found the Hawaii tickets on his phone. For him and his secretary Lily.

"You're just a free maid, Helen," David laughed when I confronted him. "Lily's young, smart, useful. You? You're nothing."

My son Luke not only covered for his affair but high-fived him in celebration. "Finally, Dad! Mom's so embarrassing. Lily's way cooler, and she bought me those limited edition Jordans!"

They wanted me gone? Done. I signed the divorce papers, walked away with nothing.

Sitting in my crappy Honda, broke and homeless at fifty, I checked my phone.

Lottery notification: "Winner! $150 million!"

I stared at those zeros and started laughing like a maniac.

Time to destroy them both.

Jaxon raised by the Black Vipers since he was three, to those who know him, he’s nothing but a weapon—cold, untouchable, soulless.

Their paths collide during a high-stakes meeting that goes horribly wrong.

He's her father's best friend. She's a forbidden fruit. Some hungers destroy everything.

Nineteen-year-old Aria Moretti returns from university a woman—curves in all the right places, storm-grey eyes that promise sin, and a dangerous obsession with the one man she can never have.

Dominic Romano is forty, lethal, and her father's most trusted enforcer. He's spent years fighting his attraction to his best friend's daughter. But when he becomes her bodyguard for one explosive summer, his iron control begins to crack.

Every stolen glance burns. Every "accidental" touch ignites. Every whispered conversation in the dark pushes them closer to the edge of no return.

When Aria's enemies strike, Dominic will unleash hell to save her—even if it means betraying the only family he's ever known. Because some love is worth burning the world down for.

Finished running away?” he asked, his voice low and taunting.

“Not everything is a game, William,” she shot back.

“Funny,” he said. “You love analyzing everyone else. Just not yourself.”

His smirk vanished.

A powerful European bank is on the brink of collapse, and the scandal surrounding it could destroy everyone involved.

Until Dr. Margaux Hawthorne enters the case.

A young psychiatrist with a talent for exposing hidden motives, Margaux is tasked with helping the legal team predict behavior, manipulate perception, and exploit psychological weaknesses—from judges and witnesses to the accused executives themselves.

From the moment they meet, sparks fly.

William doesn’t trust her methods.
Margaux sees straight through his carefully constructed mask.

As secrets surface and pressure mounts, their professional rivalry turns into something far more dangerous. Late nights blur boundaries, control slips, and the line between manipulation and desire begins to crack.

But as the case reaches its breaking point, one question remains:

Are they uncovering the truth—or unraveling each other?

Noah Carter doesn’t lose control.

Captain of Ridgeway University’s team.
Disciplined. Admired. Untouchable.

Until Elias Moore.

Soft skirts. Sharp eyes. Unapologetically visible.

Some demand to be claimed.

For three years, Carolina Riverton lived as Alpha Ace Blackwood's secret wife.

She loved him quietly, stood by his side from the shadows, and carried the title of Luna that no one knew existed.

She loved him enough for the both of them.

But while Carolina devoted her heart to her husband, the entire werewolf world celebrated another woman.

Ella.

Ace's childhood sweetheart.

The woman everyone believed was destined to become his Luna.

When Carolina sees the world praising Ace and Ella's upcoming wedding while still married to him, she finally understands the painful truth.

She was never meant to exist in his world.

Ace already rejected her even without saying it.

Heartbroken and carrying a secret that would change everything, Carolina makes one final decision.

With divorce papers in hand and a painful smile on her face, Carolina tricked Ace into signing away their marriage without ever reading the documents.

Then she left.

Leaving behind the pack, the marriage, and the Alpha who never truly chose her.

Far away in Oakridge City, Carolina begins a new life while protecting the secret growing inside her womb.

But years later, fate reveals what she kept hidden.

Ace discovers that the Luna he lost left carrying his heir.

The wife he ignored... The woman he failed to protect... The mate he let walk away.

Now the Alpha who once took Carolina for granted is desperate to find her.

But winning back the woman he broke won't be easy.

Because Carolina is no longer the silent Luna who accepted scraps of his affection.

And this time, the Alpha must fight for the love he never realized he had until it was gone.

The Alpha must chase back his rejected Luna.

A young woman trying to make it in a small town. She was born and raised here, everyone knew her and she knew everyone. That does not make life easy. The lies, manipulation, cover ups. Everyone knows the secrets, they see the scandals but no one is brave enough to say anything. To stand up for her. They will help when it seems like the time is right but they also use and abuse her when the time is right. How will she ever break free and become her own person. Abuse can come in many different ways. Mental and physical are the most common. She nees to get away from her home and everyone in this town. But at what means. What all will she lose?

Three years into our loveless marriage:

"Julian... what would you do if I got pregnant?" I asked, clinging to a foolish hope.

He thrust hard, his release hot between my thighs.

"You? Bear my heir?" His laugh was ice-cold. "A maid's daughter could never be worthy of Sterling blood."


I'm Elena—the maid's daughter who dared to love Julian Sterling.

He's the ruthless heir who married me for revenge.

"You're nothing but a gold-digging whore,"* he whispered. *"Did you really think I'd ever love someone like you?”

He used me. Broke me. Made me beg for scraps while he paraded his first love through our home.

That night, I stood on the bridge, staring at the dark water below.

I'd lost everything. My mother. My dignity. My will to fight.


Five years later, in a crowded shopping mall:

My daughter tugs at a stranger's sleeve.

"Mister, will you help me find my mommy? I got lost."

The man freezes, staring down at her.

"What's your name, sweetheart?" His voice sounds broken.

"Lila! What's yours, uncle?"

"Julian."

Minutes later, he's walking toward me with my daughter's hand in his, his face drained of all color.

"Elena."

My name on his lips sounds like agony.

Before I can respond, he's crossed the distance between us. His arms wrap around me with desperate strength.

"God, you're alive. I thought—" His voice cracks. "I'm so sorry—"

He leans down, his lips seeking mine.

My hand moves on instinct.

The slap echoes through the mall.

"Excuse me?" I step back, ice-cold, pulling Lila behind me. "Please control yourself, sir. Do we even know each other?"

Ten years ago, Elizabeth Kaiser was abandoned by her biological father, cast out of her home like a stray dog. A decade later, she returned as a decorated general of Nation A, wielding immense power and wealth beyond measure.

The onlookers waited eagerly for her downfall, only to watch in shock as the elite families of Capitol City bowed before her in reverence.

Elizabeth smirked coldly. "Want to chase me? Better ask my fists for permission first!"

Eilidh always knew Callum didn’t love her, but she still held on, hoping he would change. For three years, she endured a marriage filled with cold glances and distant affection, only to have her hopes shattered when the woman Callum truly loved returned. Without hesitation, he handed her divorce papers and demanded she abort their unborn child. Broken but not defeated, Eilidh signed the papers and walked away, vowing to return stronger.
Years later, Eilidh re-emerges, no longer the naïve woman who once begged for love. She’s independent, successful, and the mother of a child Callum never wanted. When their paths cross again,Callum realizes too late what he has lost. The ruthless billionaire who discarded her is now the man desperate to win her back. But Eilidh has changed—she’s no longer willing to settle for less than she deserves.
Callum is determined to make amends, proving his love through grand gestures and relentless pursuit. But can love ever bloom from betrayal? Eilidh heart is no longer so easily swayed, and forgiveness is not a prize to be won. Will Caleb’s regret be enough, or has Eilidh moved on for good?

Claire's love for Richard was legendary—three years of devotion that everyone envied. Until the day she found her best friend Monica on top of her husband in their living room, and her world shattered.

"Sign it, Claire," Richard said, tossing divorce papers at her hospital bed, his once-warm blue eyes now ice cold. "You disgust me. You're clingy, obsessed, and suffocating."

One year later, Claire Winfred returns to town—transformed, powerful, and engaged to billionaire Alexander Hayes. But she hasn't come back for a new beginning. She's come back for revenge.

Now she's the one calling the shots, trapping Richard behind his desk, her hand gripping his tie. "Tell me, Richard," she purrs, "do you still find me disgusting?"

"Yes," he lies, even as his body betrays him.

"Then explain why you're so hard right now."

The seduction has begun. But in a game this dangerous, who will be the hunter and who will be the prey?

I gasped for breath, clutching my chest, the bloody scene of my former husband's mistress, Kelly, slitting my throat still vivid in my memory. Now, I had been reborn.
The man I once deeply loved, the man with whom I built a business empire, and his mistress, Kelly, were staring at me defiantly.
"Evelyn, this is Kelly. She... she's pregnant. She needs our help. I think we can take her in."
But the weeping Evelyn of the past was dead. The woman standing before them now was a queen returned from hell, ready to burn their kingdom to the ground.
"Of course, darling," I said in a sweet yet venomous voice. "Let her stay. I'm happy to keep my enemies close."
Gray breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that this time, I wouldn't just divorce him; I would take his gang, his money, his dignity, and leave him with nothing but regret.

I frantically went to Gina's apartment to ask her why she was trying to break up my marriage, only to see her clutching her stomach as she lay on the floor in pain, and I was arrested as a murderer. “Let me out! I want to see my husband!” In prison, I found out that I was pregnant. I was anxious to tell my husband the news, but Gina's dagger came instead. At the moment of death, I shouted from the bottom of my heart: I am willing to pay any price to revenge. When I opened my eyes again, Ron was urging me to go to the funeral. What's going on? I'm back in my house? I grabbed my phone and looked at the date. It was seven days before our 7th anniversary. Yes, I was reborn, and this time I won't let it happen again. All those who betray me must be punished. But why is there a dangerous man following me?

I caught his scent before I saw them, my husband's scent, saturating another woman's skin.
Three years. I gave Alexander three years, my father's territory, my people's loyalty, and a slow poison quietly destroying my body from the inside.
I made him — pulled a fallen, abandoned Alpha from the dirt, merged our packs, convinced every dissenting elder, and stepped aside so he could wear the crown I built.
I called it love. He called it convenient.
The night I walked into that ballroom uninvited, his mistress was already on his arm.
By the end of the night, she was on her knees — telling the entire pack she was carrying his heir.
That was the moment I understood: I was never his wife. I was his ladder.
I walked out without trembling. And I started planning.
There was only one move left — to go to the man I had once rejected.
The most powerful Alpha in the word.
The one who never forgot.

Allison was framed, and they said she tried to kill her half-sister, so they sent her to an asylum. For three years, she suffered all kinds of torture, and no one even bothered to check on her. Her own family called her mentally ill, but the truth was her mother betrayed her just to push her illegitimate daughter into the Rogers family and steal Allison’s identity.

She had nothing left except an injured body. But a sudden encounter with the notorious mad dog of the Lopez family became her one advantage. She saved the crippled Jareth Taylor during an underground fight.

Allison slowly walked toward the confused Jareth, who was sitting on the couch with his cane in his right hand. “Elite society calls you a mad dog, but Master Jareth is far more than that. You’re the craziest dog I’ve ever met. Still, I’m willing to become your bait in exchange for power.”

Jareth chuckled, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips. “I take both body and soul as collateral. Would you be willing to crawl into my bed and warm my lonely nights?”

Because he is forced to marry a woman of his grandfather's choice, he makes his wife's life a living hell. After the death of the family patriarch, he has the chance to be with the woman he loves. However, in his path is the wife he despises so much. He ends up killing her to be with his mistress, and is betrayed by her, who only wants the empire left by his family. Waking up in a second life on his wedding day, after all the evil he has done in the past, will he be able to obtain forgiveness from his wife? Warning: Contains sensitive content.

Tessa was the fallen Alpha heiress, deaf but still bound to protect her late father’s legacy. Evander was the rising young Alpha, the perfect presidential candidate.
A marriage contract tied them together, but with one condition: once Evander found his true fated mate, their contracted marriage would be over.
Five years later, when Evander finally promised that he would attend the last mating ceremony and give up finding his fated mate, Tessa got pregnant. Tessa believed it’s all meant to be, but Evander returned with another woman, claiming that she was his fated mate...
Now Tessa must decide: reveal her pregnancy and risk losing everything, or walk away to protect the future growing inside her.

I used to be the Federation's top agent, codename Frostblade. Until my fiancée and my partner stabbed me in the back and threw me into Blackrock Fortress—a black site hellhole that doesn't exist on any map. Against all odds, I broke out and made it back home, only to find my family's graves dug up, my mother murdered in the bathtub, and a shell casing stamped with a cartel insignia. My sister is missing, my father has been framed, and six of my informants were butchered—all signs point to the exact same name. Nobody believes a man who was supposed to rot in a cell can flip the board, but I'm back.

"I want you in everyway, Aria, just say yes to me."

He's older. He's forbidden. He's everything she should avoid.
Aria Maren never thought a simple holiday visit would turn into a temptation she can't resist.

Trapped in the snowy estate, with her best friend's father, Alpha Rowan Thorne, the air between them sizzles with tension, desire, and danger.

Will a blizzard, a rare Winter Omega bond, and a fated connection spark an explosive heat that cannot be ignored?

This Christmas holiday is packed with pack politics, jealousy and a prophecy threatening everything. Giving in maybe the only way to survive… and the only way to belong.

"Tell me the truth, Suzan. Is he mine?"

"You lost the right to ask that question five years ago, Anthony."

Five years ago, Suzan Royce gave her heart to the wrong man. Trapped in a fake relationship with the ruthless billionaire playboy Anthony Carter, she never expected to fall for him—until he shattered her world. Heartbroken and pregnant, she disappeared without a trace.

Now, she’s back. No longer the naïve girl he abandoned, Suzan has transformed into Celeste Laurent—a powerful, untouchable businesswoman engaged to another man. But Anthony isn't fooled. He sees through her cold façade, and the moment he lays eyes on her son, he knows the truth.

When a shocking murder frames Anthony and dark family secrets begin to unravel, their tangled past resurfaces with a vengeance. Lies, betrayal, and deadly conspiracies threaten to destroy everything. But this time, Suzan isn’t just fighting for herself—she’s fighting for her son.

Can Anthony and Suzan break free from their toxic past, or will their love story end in ruin once again?

You remind me of your father." She said, her voice pinched with irritation as she stared at Rafael Rollers.
He shrugged nonchalantly and dropped to a crouch in front of her, running his hand through her hair.
"That's why I chose you, Kimberly."
•••••••
Kimberly didn't expect to be Fredrick Rollers captive at a young age because of her irresponsible parents.
She endured it for years and when an opportunity to take her oppressor out of the way, she latched on it but she had no idea it would backfire.
Now, she has two options, walk into jail with hefty debts she won't be able to pay off for the rest of her life or marry Rafael Rollers and her charges would be cleared but it leaves her at the mercy of the man she wished death upon.

Fake marriage? Quite achievable, but not falling for the grey orbs that encapsulates her every damn time? Seems like a hard task.

“I Made a Proposal.”
“Thank you for the offer,” she said between clenched teeth, “but I won’t warm your bed.”
I shook my head. “You don’t have to share my bed, Miss Hunter. In fact, I’d much prefer we keep separate bedrooms. I’ve just lost my mate—I can’t… I don’t want… That is, what I’m proposing is a marriage of convenience. We can help each other. I’ll give you my name so people can stop yapping about what happened between you and the alpha’s brat. No more pity. No more gossip. And I’ll share whatever I have, Miss Hunter, though it’s a humble offer. I’ll make sure you’re taken care of. In return, you keep the house and do the things a mother should do for the child.”
The alpha’s son thought he would humiliate me in front of everyone by rejecting me—but I turned the tables on him. I rejected him first.
Now I’m paying the price for embarrassing the alpha. I’ve been kicked out of my family home, and I can’t get a job. My life looks bleak and hopeless… until a tall, dark, and handsome stranger shows up at the tavern with a small boy at his side.
The newly widowed Jareth makes an insane proposal: a fake marriage.
I get a home and the protection of his name. He gets a live-in babysitter for his kid. But he doesn’t know I’m no ordinary she-wolf… and something tells me Jareth is hiding something too.

"I don't know what kind of trick you are playing or what powers you have, but I will have you locked up, until I can find a way to undo you. And I will be the end of you!!!"

Lucien Draco used to be the most powerful werewolf in existence, a born Alpha destined for greatness. But when his entire family was brutally murdered before his eyes, he made a choice that would curse him forever. He turned himself into a hybrid, the first turn to ever survive the transformation because he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the power to seek revenge.

Now referred to as the Devil's Son, he is the most feared creature across all supernatural territories.

Never did he imagine that fate would grant him a mate. And not just any mate, a human. A human he cannot compel.

On her eighteenth birthday, Claire Lockwood is sold into slavery and purchased by the ruthless hybrid everyone whispers about in terror. She should be just another possession, easily controlled and broken. But Claire is different. She is immune to his compulsion, the very power that makes Lucien unstoppable.

To him, she is a threat. An anomaly. Something that must be destroyed.

But as Lucien searches for ways to end her, he discovers the impossible truth this human girl he despises is his mate. The bond he never wanted. The weakness he cannot afford.

Claire truly just an ordinary human caught in a world beyond her understanding? Or is there something more to the girl who can resist the Devil's Son?

And what will happen when Lucien realizes that the very person he vowed to destroy might be the only one who can save what little remains of his humanity?

She was the perfect Luna… until betrayal broke her.
Nyssa Holt gave everything to her husband, Alpha Cassian. She ruled the Moonfang Pack with grace, wit, and her powerful royal-blooded wolf, Vianna. But perfection meant nothing when she caught her Alpha in bed with three young maids.

Humiliated. Rejected. Done.

Nyssa vanished into the human world, took back her maiden name Blackwell, and built an empire.
Billionaire CEO of LUNARIX Industries, untouchable in boardrooms and feared across wolf society.

Five years later, the Moonfang Pack came crawling back. Cassian had fallen, enemies circled, and the pack begged for their Luna to return.

But Nyssa didn’t come back as Luna. She came back as Alpha.

The Moon Goddess herself blessed her with visions. And in her first vision came a command: host the Mate Hunt. Find not one, but many mates truly worthy of her.

So Nyssa created hunting grounds that spanned for miles. The rules were simple, brutal, and thrilling:

Unmated females would be released first. Three hours later, the males would follow. If a male could hunt down and claim a female, she was his.

The packs were electrified. Everyone wanted in. Everyone wanted a chance.

But when the hunt began, Nyssa discovered the Goddess’s true gift. Bonds flared with more than one Alpha. Desire burned hotter than fire. And as rivals plotted and ex-lovers circled back, Nyssa faced the most dangerous choice of all…

Will she claim her mates and crown herself Alpha Queen of Moonfang?

Or will the sins of her past destroy her before she can rise?

"What exactly are you?" she asks in a whispers, consciously backing away from him.
"How does it matter?" He replies, drawing even closer while his gaze remains firmly fixed on her, watching her like a predator would his prey. His fingers were itching to caress her face but he knew shouldn't... not now
"What. Are. You. Killian?" She repeats, holding her ground and fighting the tremble that shook her entire body as she confronts him, demanding an answer to her suspicion.
Killian stops with a sigh, looking away in shame and guilt, a feeling he wasn't accustomed to until she came into his life, he knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it so soon.
'I'm not the knight in shining Armour that you think I am. I'm different Lucy...' he struggles for words to explain himself.
'What are you?' she asks for the third time, feeling her heart thumps hard against her rib cage.
'I am the fury! The youngest and most dreaded Mafia boss, your father's worse nightmare!" Lucy Rose gasps, letting out a strangled cry of shock and fear.
When Killian's path unexpectedly crosses with Lucy Rose, the daughter of his arch nemesis the the man who he's sworn to destroy, he'd be torn between two difficult choices, fighting for the woman who made his black heart beat once again or exerting his revenge against her family and losing her and every ounce of happiness he's found, for good.
