My Alpha was supposed to mark me as his Luna.
Instead, on our wedding day, he drugged me and tried to force the Mate Bond I had already rejected.

After five years of waiting to become his Luna, I caught him kissing Riley just days before our wedding.
That was the end.
I broke our engagement and walked away.
But Liam refused to accept my rejection. My father called me unstable. My mother used Riley's so-called dying wish to manipulate me. Then Liam crossed the final line, trying to claim me against my will.
They thought I would eventually give in.
They forgot that I had survived being abandoned once before.
With my friends beside me and a mysterious man from my childhood returning to my life, I begin exposing Riley's lies and taking back everything my family stole from me.
Now Liam wants his Luna back.
But the woman he betrayed is no longer waiting to be chosen.
And the man who has returned may know more about my past than I ever imagined.

But on the night she needed him most, Noah chose Amy, his dying first love, over her. While he rushed to save another woman, Ivy lost the baby she had nearly carried to term. In that moment, something inside her finally broke.
Done being second choice, Ivy demands a divorce and walks away from the life she sacrificed everything to protect.
Then Liam returns to her life. The Alpha King is powerful, cold, and utterly in control—the one man strong enough to stand between Ivy and the mate who broke her. What begins as protection soon becomes something far more dangerous, because the more Ivy rebuilds herself at Liam’s side, the more she realizes the future she once begged for was never the one she was meant to have.
As Amy’s lies begin to unravel and Noah’s world starts collapsing without the Luna who held it together, Ivy must decide whether to keep running from fate… or claim the king who may have been meant for her all along.
Perfect for readers who love rejected mates, divorce and revenge, possessive Alpha heroes, powerful second male leads, pack politics, true mate reveals, and a heroine who never goes back.

“Soaking wet for the guy you were about to write up ten minutes ago. The Student Body President is a hypocritical little slut, isn’t she?”


To Whitlock University, I am Tegan Vale: the pristine Senator’s daughter, the untouchable Student Body President, and the blueprint for icy perfection.
To Hayes Ashford, I am nothing but a masterpiece of sin.
He is the university’s brutal hockey captain. A merciless legacy who rules the campus from the shadows. We were supposed to loathe each other. But one reckless, hate-fueled night blurred the lines, leaving me with a secret that could burn my father’s political empire to the ground.

I am pregnant with the enemy's baby.

I refused to be the girl who traps him. I was ready to take my secret to the grave. But when a ruthless anonymous whistleblower threatens to destroy the hockey team, I am forced to strike a deal with the devil in a jersey.
Hayes agrees to protect my reputation and save the team. But his price is sadistic: For every favor I need, I owe him a night in his bed.
Now, the high-and-mighty Tegan Vale has become the Captain’s personal puck bunny. Bound by a dark obsession, trapped in his orbit, I’m falling for the one man who holds my soul—and my secret—in his calloused hands.
But in a world of vicious elites, the only thing more dangerous than the truth... is the man who owns it.

I threw myself at Elian Caldwell on purpose. Falling for him was the accident..

People think they know exactly what kind of girl I am.

If only they knew.

Behind every smile is another lie. Behind every date, every party, every stolen glance is a mission I was never supposed to survive. I came to infiltrate Alpha Sigma, expose the monsters hiding behind expensive suits and championship trophies, and walk away before anyone discovered who I really was.

Then I met Elian Caldwell.

The silent boy everyone feared.

The man who looked at me like he could see through every mask I'd ever worn.

He was never supposed to become my weakness.

But secrets have a way of demanding blood, and when the truth finally comes for us, I'll have to decide whether to protect the agency that raised me... or the man who taught me what home actually feels like.

The first lie I told was that I wanted his attention.

The biggest one was pretending I didn't want his heart.

"Wellington!" I cried out, unable to stop the sensation building inside me.
"Yes, my babe, let it all out," he said, his voice deep and commanding. I screamed his name as the release came, my body shaking uncontrollably. Fluid poured from my pussy, leaving me breathless and dazed.
"What was that?" I asked, panting.

He was her darkness but also her light.

Richard: “I want her! Part of me saying her name whenever she walks past me. Her lips make me crazy. Her body keeps me awake at night. She looks at me as if she doesn’t know I want her on my bed. But she is my father’s girlfriend’s daughter; my stepsister, someone I shouldn't have imagined in that way….”

Michael: “I burn for her. That mouth, that body, everything about her turns me on. I want her whimpering beneath me, clawing at my back, aching for more.

As I settle in, I find myself caught in a secret emotion I shouldn’t have. I never asked for a new family, and I never meant to fall for either of my stepbrothers. But the heart doesn’t always listen... and this time, it could break me.

"I'd much rather have my head between my girlfriends legs than yours."

Life is never kind to the broken.

"You're dead," Zeke whispered, stepping closer. "I buried you. I mourned you. I—"
"Layla tried to kill me," I said simply. "But I survived. And now I need your help."
"Cecelia…"
"My son has been taken," I continued, tears streaming down my face. "You have to help him, Zeke. He's also your son."
"Your son?" His shock mirrored my own pain.
"Our son, Zeke. His name is Golden, and he has your eyes."
He once claimed me as his, then destroyed me. Cecelia was never meant to survive—just to suffer for the bond, used, discarded, left broken. Zeke took everything from her: her freedom, her future, and the one thing she never intended to give—her heart.

His mark still burns on her skin, but the girl he shattered is gone. The woman she has become wants nothing from him—not his love, not his forgiveness. She wants him to break. And this time, she'll make sure he stays broken.

‘You want me to become your luna.’ I couldn't believe my ears. Why me, of everyone? Why me?” “I tried being a Luna before, and it didn't turn out so well.

Am I really that naive?” As if he could read my mind, Alpha Callum spoke, “Stella I'm giving you a permanent solution you want your pup to be safe and I need a Luna. Who better matched than me, himself?”

"I, Emery Callus of the Golden Mist Pack, reject you, Alpha Kaiser of"
Before she could finish, Alpha Kaiser lunged forward. His fangs pressed against her neck as he slammed her against a tree, rage blazing in his eyes.
"What do you think you are, huh?" he snarled, veins bulging with fury.

On the day I was supposed to get married....
I watched my fiancé, Rafael, kissing another woman on his office.
Not a stranger.
My best friend.
Right then, I knew I’d only ever been the safe option, not the one he really wanted.
I left the dress, the ring, and my family’s reputation to burn in every group chat and gossip thread.
All I took with me was a small suitcase, a silent phone, and one secret I hadn’t fully understood yet: there was a baby growing inside me.
Rafael’s baby.
Six years later, I’d built a new life in Los Angeles. By day, I designed buildings for an architecture firm, drawing sharp lines to hold back the cracks I didn’t show anyone. By night, I painted until color stained my fingers and the floor.
In my calm house by the sea, a little girl with hazel eyes called me “Mom” and sprinted between piles of rolled-up blueprints.
In this new version of my life, there was Luca.
The man who always showed up with coffee, mocked my playlist, and told me, “With me, you don’t have to act tough.”
I thought I’d finally found calm.
Until that gala night.
The voice I used to almost promise forever stopped right behind me. “Long time no see, Maya.”
When Rafael’s eyes landed on my daughter’s matching hazel gaze, the air in the room grew heavy.
He wanted answers.
I wanted the nearest exit.
And before the night was over, one sentence from him tore through everything I’d carefully rebuilt:
“You need to meet my brother. His name’s Luca.”
My lungs forgot how to work.
I stared at the man I’d been calling my boyfriend… and wondered if my life had just fallen apart all over again....

Eight years.
It took eight long, aching years to say his name without shaking.
Eight years to convince myself that he was just the past..not fate.
Rafael De Luca.
The name I used to whisper with a smile now tastes like poison on my tongue. He was my first love. The boy who promised me the stars and the moon—then vanished without a word. No goodbye. No explanation. Just news that he’d flown overseas to chase his Formula One debut.
And the worst part? A week later, his photo was splashed across the tabloids—hand in hand with a world-famous supermodel, wearing the smile I once thought was mine.
I thought we were over.
Until life threw the cruelest twist.
Now I’m standing in the garage of the biggest F1 team in the world—not as a spectator, not as a bitter ex...but as the head of PR, responsible for managing the public image of a four-time world champion.
Yes.
Him.
Rafael.
And he still has that smile.
The one that can shatter me in a heartbeat.
He still has those eyes—blue eyes that pierce through every memory I’ve tried to burn.
But I’m not the high school girl he walked away from.
I’m Vicky Alvarez now.
And this isn't a love story he can rewind at will.
…Or maybe ... it never really ended?

In a house built on secrets and silences, where every glance is a threat and every touch could be a lie, there’s one thing no one can control...feelings.
And when love, betrayal, and blurred memories collide,
Aubrey must make an impossible choice:
who can she truly trust...
....and who has been holding the truth that could destroy them all?

Lisa Banner’s quiet life shatters the moment she crosses paths with Damien Paulo, the city’s most feared mafia lord. When a botched smuggling operation leads Damien to believe Lisa is involved in a conspiracy to destroy his empire, she is taken from her home and thrust into a world of danger, power, and betrayal.
Trapped in Damien’s mansion, Lisa must navigate the deadly underworld of the mafia while uncovering the truth about the conspiracy that threatens both their lives. But as she delves deeper, Lisa finds herself drawn to Damien—despite his cold demeanor and the blood on his hands.
As war brews between rival syndicates, Lisa and Damien are forced to confront their own demons and decide whether to trust each other—or destroy each other.
In a world where loyalty is fleeting and betrayal runs deep, love may be the most dangerous risk of all.
