In her first life, Ivy was abandoned. Starved. Forgotten. When the Shaws finally threw her out like garbage, the only people who came for her were strangers with guns.

Now she’s reborn. She knows how the story ends. And she’s running toward the killers instead of away from them.

Dad’s a hitman with terrible aim and a lazier temper. Mom’s a chef who butchers people in the basement. Big Brother runs the Dark Web. Little Brother builds death traps for fun.

They’re the worst family in the city. And they’re exactly what she chose.

With her five-year-old eyes, every murder looks like cooking.

Every severed finger is a toy. Every bloodstain is just Mommy’s new perfume.

Ivy doesn’t see killers. She sees the only people who ever loved her.

She entered his court as a servant of shadow. He will rule it on a throne of blood and scale.
For years, the Vampire Lord Kaelen’s cold reign has been absolute. For Elara, a hidden dragon shifter living as a lowly maid, it is a reign that must end in ash. Her vengeance for her slaughtered clan is a fire she has carefully banked, waiting for the moment to reduce his world to cinders. That moment comes on the night of the Blood Moon Masquerade, where a single, searing encounter with a masked stranger offers the perfect path to revenge.
It was only meant to be a weapon. A way to get closer to her enemy.
But one night of forbidden passion unravels everything.
Now, Elara carries an impossible secret—a child that is both fire and blood, a living symbol of the war between their kinds. Her destiny is no longer just vengeance, but survival. When her dragon nature can no longer be concealed, Kaelen discovers the truth: the woman he cannot forget is the same one he has never truly seen, and she holds the key to his destruction… or his legacy.
A night of passion. A lifetime of consequences. A war of bloodlines.
As ancient enemies close in and the truth of the past ignites a new war, Elara and Kaelen must choose: will they cling to the hatred that defined them, or seize a throne built from the one thing that can save or damn them both—their forbidden love?

My roommate acted strangely—an eye peeking through the door crack, a lingering stench, and the shadow of a serial murder closing in. I struggled to find the truth, only to discover her rotting corpse in the wardrobe. It turned out, she was the first to die, and the fear had only just begun.

I walked into the wrong hotel room...
To a naked man fresh out of the shower.
Now, I’m pregnant with his baby.

I should’ve left as soon as I saw him.
He was too beautiful to be real.
I got halfway to the door…
And then he saw exactly what I was trying to hide.

“Who hurt you?” he said when he glimpsed the bruises. “Let me fix it.”
I should’ve said no.
But honestly? I deserve a little luck from the universe.
And if it wants to provide that luck in the form of a gorgeous, six-foot angel of darkness…
Well, I won’t turn my nose up at that.

But nothing in this life comes without strings attached.
My angel gives me a night from heaven…

When morning comes, though, he turns into a devil.
And not just any devil.
This devil knows where I’m from.
Who I am.
What I’ve done.

And he’s determined to make me pay for all of it.

In my life as a waitress, I, Sephie - an ordinary person - endured the icy glares and insults of customers while trying to earn a living. I believed that this would be my fate forever.

However, one fateful day, the King of the Underworld appeared before me and rescued me from the clutches of the most powerful Mafia boss's son. With his deep blue eyes fixed on mine, he spoke softly: "Sephie... short for Persephone... Queen of the Underworld. At last, I have found you." Confused by his words, I stammered out a question, “P..pardon? What does that mean?”

But he simply smiled at me and brushed my hair away from my face with gentle fingers: "You are safe now.”

Seven years ago, Emerald Hutton had left her family and friends behind for high school in New York City, cradling her broken heart in her hands, to escape just only one person. Her brother's best friend, whom she loved from the day he'd saved her from bullies at the age of seven. Broken by the boy of her dreams and betrayed by her loved ones, Emerald had learned to bury the pieces of her heart in the deepest corner of her memories.

Until seven years later, she has to come back to her hometown after finishing her college. The place where now the cold-hearted stone of a billionaire resides, whom her dead heart once used to beat for.

The trap of Ace.

you are my queen, and I want to kiss you now,” he said.
I’m not sure that was what I expected him to say, but I had been waiting to hear it. I smiled playfully, looking at him. “Yes, my king,” I said.
Moments, his lips were on mine. The kiss was soft and gentle at first, his hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him; I let my arms find their way around his neck. I felt his tongue gently run along my lower lip and couldn’t help the soft moan that escaped my mouth at its touch. Von only took that as permission and slipped his tongue into my mouth; I let my tongue explore his mouth as he did the same to mine. Eventually, the kiss grew deeper, and before I knew it, I was straddling his lap in one quick motion. His hands found their way to my hair, tangled in it as he tugged it lightly in his grip. I couldn’t help moaning against his lips; a growl of pleasure came from deep in his throat.


My name is Arianna Maree Paxton however I Hate that name my parents gave me that name, after my , great-great grandmother. So I go by Ari. you see my parents are hardly that they hate me in every way possible. I am only here to be their slave and plaything, otherwise they probably would of killed me a long time ago.

Were simply a small part of the shifter community, most every other shifter, magical beings live in harmony with humans and other beings. However, they do have their own rules they each follow but for the most part the respect each other, it doesn’t mean they share anything by any means. Each has their own schools, hospitals, and way of living but terrroity and lives are generally respected. However, I feel that is mostly in part to fear of the Royal family.

However my species is dying out because they have lost their way , when you force your leopard to do horrid things it will eventually leave you , which was what was happing all around me , when that happens you can no longer find a mate , and usually you lose your mind. Without mates we can no longer reproduce hence the feeling of the end coming soon. Or at least I thought that was the reason I have that feeling but I kind of feel like something bigger is on the way.

“The Game begins in three days. Ensure they are physically fit for island deployment.”
 My heart clutched.
 …the Slave Games?
 We weren’t brought here to work. We were brought here to die!
“That’s why you brought us here?” I seethed. “The Moon Goddess will punish you! She punishes every werewolf who treats human life as worthless!”
 Kalev reached out and gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze.
 “You’re brave,” he said. “You’re an Empty Shell. You won’t make it far. But I’m curious to see how your bravery serves in the game.”

She asked for a tragic ending. She never expected to live it.
Emilia George is obsessed with books—especially the ones that hurt. The more heartbreaking the ending, the better. So when a mysterious, velvet-voiced bookstore owner offers her a rare, unknown title after her requested book goes missing, Emilia is intrigued. But the book is empty—save for one cryptic sentence in Gaelic.
When she reads the words aloud, Emilia and her best friend Gabby are thrown into the pages of the book—into a haunting, gothic world ruled by a dangerously alluring and half-mad Duke named Sebastian Everhart.

Now trapped in a story that’s still being written, Emilia becomes the Duke’s reluctant Duchess, her life unfolding across the blank pages. But this isn’t just a fantasy. Her family—twisted reflections of their real selves—have followed her into the tale, each of them scheming to betray the Duke and use Emilia as the key to steal his power.
As Emilia battles loyalty, deception, and a slow-burning romance with a man the world calls mad, she’s forced to question everything—including the cost of a great story.
Because the deeper she falls for Sebastian, the clearer one thing becomes:
This is a story destined for heartbreak. And she asked for it.

ALESSANDRA

Having these last names makes us enemies.
Both united to the East Coast, but intimidated by so many years of vendetta.
It seems that destiny does not want to see us together.
That was until I received a calling that plunged me deeper into the life of sin.
I was a Zanetti. A woman. A piece in this world of controlling men.
I was front and center on the board of an arranged marriage.
Then I saw it. A battered heart and eyes that denoted a body without a soul. The most beautiful devil I had ever seen.
This devil was very presentable, suit, tie and a distinct elegance.

But when you're a Zanetti, you can't be a piece if you're a part of sin.

MASSIMO

I just started a war.
There is no turning back now. Princess Zanetti.
A decision made out of hate.
It's my turn to have something from the Zanettis.
I don't care if they promised her to someone else.
I am the one who moves the pieces in this game.

I didn't know it, but she is my biggest opponent.

In a time where Mafia famiglias are reigning the world, where the weak always fall into the hands of the strong, and where love has no place in a world full of bloods.

Aisha De La Torre, a beauty with her deep violet eyes that can penetrate one's soul. She was said to be the most ruthless female Mafia Boss of all times. With her face of a Goddess, there was a saying where never judge a book by its cover, because beneath that face of hers lies a devil who will spare no mercy and kills you with no hesitation.

With deaths and betrayals as she grew up, Aisha never believe in finding that "one true love" her late Mother was saying.

Love has no place in this world of killing.


"What are you daydreaming about?" Aisha look up to see a pair of strikingly deep blue eyes staring right into her violet ones.

"Nothing." Aisha answered as her mind wonders to those people who forsaken her and her famiglia.

Every single person who takes part of the assasination will perish.

I will return the pain my famiglia had been put through a hundred times more painful, Aisha vowed in her heart.

Aisha felt his hands circling her small waist and through the backless fitted black dress she wore, she can feel the muscular body of the man as she shudders at the warmth of his breath above her ear, "Don't worry, we will give them the revenge they deserve. You just have to wait patiently for the right time."

Aisha almost gasp when he bit her earlobe and spoke in a cold, sinister manner, "After all, revenge is a dish best served cold."

Banished. Branded. Bound to a creature of shadow.

Liora, a Lightborn healer sworn to sanctity, is exiled from the sacred Choir after breaking the First Commandment of her order: Do not touch the darkness. Her crime? Healing a dying enemy: a shadow beast feared by all, a man named Kael who should have been her undoing.

But when her light touched his wound, it didn’t burn. It bonded.

Now, marked by a soul-scar that glows with forbidden power, Liora must flee into the crumbling districts beyond the city’s veil. There, in the ruins where light fades and myth still breathes, she must choose: surrender her gift… or use it on those her people would rather see forgotten.

Kael walks the edges of that world. Dangerous, hunted, and not entirely what he seems. He remembers the healer who defied death to save him, and the mark she left on his soul.

As war brews, Liora and Kael are bound by something deeper than fate… and more dangerous than prophecy.

Their bond was never meant to exist.
But some lights only awaken in the dark.

Lyra Hale, a lone wolf with no pack to call home. She was cast out of her birth pack as a child due to a mysterious mark on her shoulder—a crescent moon with three claw marks through it. Legends say the mark belongs to the Moonbane, a wolf destined to destroy or save all wolf-kind. Without a pack bond, Lyra cannot fully access her wolf's strength or abilities, leaving her vulnerable and constantly on the run.
Lyra survives by scavenging in neutral territories. She dreams of belonging but knows no pack would accept her. One night, while hunting, she crosses into the territory of the Bloodmoon Pack, one of the most feared packs in the region.

Alpha Kael, the ruthless and powerful leader of the Bloodmoon Pack. Kael is known for his cold heart and his relentless pursuit of strength. He is unmated and uninterested in finding his mate, believing love is a weakness.
Lyra is captured by Kael's patrol and brought before him. To her shock, the moment they lock eyes, the mate bond ignites between them. Kael, disgusted by the idea of a weak, rogue mate, denies their bond and declares Lyra a prisoner.

Alpha Lucien of the Shadowfang Pack, Kael's rival. Lucien has been encroaching on Bloodmoon territory, seeking to overthrow Kael. He is rumored to be searching for the Moonbane, believing he can harness its power to dominate all wolf packs.

While imprisoned, Lyra begins to experience strange dreams-visions of an ancient wolf spirit warning her that her destiny is tied to both Kael and Lucien. She must choose which path to follow: destruction or salvation.

“We are not meant to do this…” I gasped, breathless under the heat of his kisses.

“It’s not part of the contract.”

“Screw the contract. I want you,” Ethan cut in, passion burning in his eyes. “Right now.”

But everything came crashing down when her longtime boyfriend exposed her deepest insecurities during a live broadcast. The humiliation went viral. Overnight, Ariana lost her reputation, her career, and the fans who once adored her.

Broke, broken, and desperate to rebuild, she swore never to trust another man. Until Ethan Vale walked into her life.

Ethan wasn’t just any man. He was the billionaire CEO of Vale Resorts. Powerful, arrogant, and one of her harshest critics. Their paths should never have crossed again, but fate had other plans. One reckless night of drinks and pent-up anger led to a scandalous one-night stand. When the tabloids got wind of it, Ethan made her an offer she couldn’t refuse.

A contract marriage. One year. No strings attached.

Ariana knows she should walk away. Ethan is dangerous, unpredictable, and controlling. But she signs the deal, believing she can keep her heart out of it.

She was wrong.

Now she’s caught in a storm of jealousy, betrayal, and sabotage. An ex who won’t let go, a rival who wants her ruined, and a family secret that could shatter everything she thought she knew.

The biggest danger of all isn’t the contract or the enemies circling them. It’s the way her heart betrays her every time Ethan touches her.

Is he her captor… or the only man she has ever truly loved?

When it comes to his sister, Zayn Richardson has no restraint.
He doesn’t warn twice. And he sure as hell doesn’t forgive.

Zayn was meant to be her shield.
And he was.
But somewhere along the way, that protection turned into something else.
Something far more dangerous.

LUSTS OF THE FLESH is a story about two people who see the line of morality, understand it perfectly, and choose to cross it anyway.
Because some bonds don't fade or break when they’re forbidden.
They burn even more fiercely.

READER ADVISORY

You've been warned.

The world begins to break at exactly 7:13 PM, a specific moment lodged in the evening like a splinter beneath skin. The sky fractures along invisible seams, shadows start hunting people in the streets with a patient hunger, and entire buildings disappear without warning as if they had never existed at all. Before the night is over, Kol dies beneath a falling piece of masonry, his last breath rattling out across broken pavement. Then he wakes up again in the same city at the same time with the same disaster unfolding around him, but something is different now, a shift he cannot quite name pressing against the inside of his chest.

A strange countdown has appeared beneath his skin, numbers ticking downward in a language he does not recognize but somehow understands. People who remember previous cycles keep appearing before every collapse, their faces are always the same and their words always changing.

Hidden inside the ruins of the dying city is another version of Kol, one who claims this world has already ended dozens of times before, each ending bleeding into the next like watercolors left out in the rain. With every reset, Kol learns more about the patterns controlling the apocalypse, the hidden machinery turning behind the scenes of destruction. The problem he soon discovers is that the more he remembers, the more dangerous he becomes, a truth that settles in his bones alongside the countdown. The world does not want to be understood, and the cycle is starting to notice him, a small aberration is a flawless design.

In a collapsing reality where death is temporary but mistakes are permanent. Kol must survive long enough to uncover the truth before the next reset erases everything again, including the fragile hope he has begun to carry.

The uprising killed the royal Cardinal family. The Cardinals were magic wielders and had ruled for over five hundred years with an iron fist. Eventually, the humans waged war against wielders and shifters. They overthrew the crown, branding all non-human beings as Unnaturals and leaving them to fend for themselves in a broken world. Ida has spent those last ten years since the uprising sold from one household to another, never able to repay her indenture. The situation, although not ideal, has offered her a second chance at life. A life in hiding was better than no life at all, and she did not wish to suffer the same fate as others of her kind.

Xander carries the weight of being a shifter, unable to find his mate in this new kingdom.
After a chance meeting between them, Ida becomes overwhelmed by Alexander's mixed signals. She dares not succumb to her inner feelings. Letting Xander in would mean opening up about what she truly is, and she is determined to keep her past hidden. Xander, however, has other plans. He intends to get his mate by whatever means necessary. When both their lives intertwine by fate, a new quest emerges fraught with danger as they encounter all walks of life trying to tear them apart.

The grand mansion standing at the heart of the island is a relic of a forgotten past, whispering secrets through its dimly lit corridors and casting shadows that seem to watch her every move.

The host, a man with an unreadable gaze and an irresistible presence, proposes a game. The rules are simple: surrender or resist.
