On their third anniversary, instead of a gift, Bryce threw divorce papers directly at Rose’s face so his first love could move into their marital bed.

"Sign it immediately. Lily is back, and she’s the only woman I’ve ever loved," Bryce sneered, looking at Rose's faded dress with utter disgust. "I’ll give you a million dollars. Don't let my grandmother know you're struggling on the streets like a beggar."

For three years, Rose had swallowed every humiliation, scrubbing floors and secretly using her own connections to build Bryce’s empire from nothing. She loved him so deeply she willingly played the role of a poor orphan. But looking at his cold, arrogant eyes, her love turned to ash.

"Keep your dirty money," Rose whispered. She picked up the pen, signed the papers without a single tear, and slammed them onto the table. "Give me half an hour to pack. Johansen is nothing without me!"

An hour later, Bryce stood by the window, expecting to see his pathetic ex-wife crying in the rain. Instead, he watched in absolute shock as a limited-edition white Rolls-Royce smoothly pulled up to her. A man in a custom Armani suit stepped out, respectfully opened the door, and gently kissed her hand before she slipped inside.

Bryce’s blood boiled instantly. "She left with a billionaire? Who the hell is that man?!"

What Bryce didn't know was that the man wasn't just any billionaire. He was Dominic Cavendish, the most ruthless CEO in the country—and Rose’s fiercely protective older brother, coming to take the true heiress of the Cavendish empire back to her throne.

Zawadi is an African girl from a small town in central Kenya, who vowed to never fall in love after a series of bad luck .That was until she met her handsome white young prince. Against her better judgement she decides to give love one more chance.

Does love truly overcome all?

"No, I want to go to New York without being under someone's watch. And I don't think Mr. Gray will appreciate my presence. Right Mr. Gray?"
Ethan chuckled lightly. "It's Ethan for you, Nicole. And I already approved your father's idea."
"What?!" I yelled out unbelievably.


Nicole Vargas.
Spoiled, rich, smart, and melodramatic. She graduated from Fashion Design in Brazil and was the daughter of a well-known artist and the CEO of 'The Vargas' hotel and casino chains. She could get anything she wants at just the snap of her fingers. Even her career.
But she didn't. And she wouldn't take advantage of her parents' position in society. Instead, she wanted to be successful on her own. But her father didn't want to let her go all the way to New York where she could fulfill her dreams. For him, she was still a little girl.

Ethan Gray.
Insanely handsome and a mouthwatering specimen. Ethan Gray graduated from Business Administration in England. After he graduated he took over his uncle's business and instantly became the richest and youngest CEO in England. After so many years he returned to Brazil to visit his parents and attend the yearly elite ball. After that, he would go to New York to expand his business and would stay there for a year.
But, things turned a little bit different.
He didn't go to New York alone. Instead, he had the daughter of Santiago Vargas with him. The most annoying, dramatic, but absolutely beautiful girl he had ever met.
He couldn't stand her tantrums and drama.
And she wasn't willing to change just for him.
What will happen between them? Read to find out.

But one thing is for sure—they never expected the prey to become the hunter.

“Please...” I whispered subconsciously, earning a little gnarl from him. He’d awoken the fire inside of me.

“Touch me.”

“Where would you like to be touched?” He whispered as his lips hovered around my earlobe. He kissed it, making me warm all over.

“Down there,” I whispered.

“Guide my hand.” He ordered and I did as told, thankful I had a sundress on. I placed his hand on my cunt.

He rubbed me through my panties and I let out a small moan in delight. Another rub and a satisfied moan slipped out...


"I have to investigate this case. This has never happened before." Eugene said as he rubbed his chin.

"Is it possible that my wolf would never awaken?" I blurted out on impulse.

"Never. The inner you is very wild and you can't control it. But the amethyst pill wakes the wolf up because your previous one put it to sleep. Now that you are grown up, you are able to control it."

What happens if my wolf wakes up, but I still don't know how to control it?

And what will happen when I can't control it, will I become weak like before?

An unworthy wolf?

"You think I would choose you over them Jesse?"

"I can never do that, you are a Beast so you deserve to live with beats like you not me"

Sylvie muttered in pain.

"And you think there is anything you can do about that?"

"You can run for now but I will find you"

Alpha Jesse said.

Meet Jesse who spent his life time looking for his runaway mate who ran away with his child

Sadly he need to pass through many tougher opponents to get her when he finally found her.

Reeling after escaping an abusive relationship, Cambree hopes to find safety and build a new life in her new town. Unfortunately, fate has other plans, and she finds herself desperately trying to prove her identity to her insanely sexy new boss, who is convinced she is an old enemy coming back to exact her revenge on him. He hates her, and, honestly, the feeling is mutual. So why does she feel so drawn to him? And why is he convinced that she can manipulate the people around her?


“In this moment, I don’t care that he’s my boss, I don’t care that he once tried to kill me, I don’t care about anything other than getting as close to him as humanly possible. I break our kiss to press Caleb’s chest, guiding him so that he is sitting back against the bench seat, then I swing my leg over both of his, straddling him. I settle myself down into his lap, only to feel his hard cock press into...”

I am Vita Virginia, the wolfless daughter of the Virginia Family. My life used to be perfect… An engagement with the man of my dreams, a best friend who loves me with all her heart, and a beloved family. Yes, I used to be happy.

But everything changed when a tragedy shook my life and showed me that everything I had was nothing but an illusion. And just like that, I lost everything… Including my freedom.

[…] “I’ve been your fiancée for two years! I’m your mate... I’ve devoted myself to you! You have to believe me, Derek. I didn't kill Alice. ”

Blamed of a crime I didn't commit, I suffered, cried, and bled with all my heart... But my greatest executioner was none other than Derek — my own fiancé, my mate, my true love.


“Damn it, I’ve missed your touch so much... you have no idea.” He murmurs huskily, and his voice vibrating on my sensitive skin makes me swallow a moan. “No, no… Don’t hold it back... I want them all… I’ve gone too long without hearing them.”
Derek kisses my throat, releasing a slightly louder moan, and his touch gets tight on my hair, making me tilt my head and stretch my neck. He licks all the way up to my chin, where he takes a slightly hard bit, leaving me to grunt in a strange mixture of pain and pleasure.
“You have no idea, Vita...” He says against my parted lips. “The chaos you turn my head into.”
He just plays with my lower lip again, licking and nibbling to pull it back.“You’re poison to me, Vita...” He rises once more to whisper against my lips, “You’re the one who will be the end of me.”

My name is Gemma and I'm the white wolf.

It's raining. I can hear the droplets falling on the glass on the ceiling. But no smell of outside world. I don't even remember how it feels to be outside. Free and breathing in fresh air since he got me here. I clutched onto Ryan's little hands when I heard the beep of the door lock.

Melissa Moore just finished eight grueling years of study and writing but she has finally made it to the last step of achieving her lifelong dream of being a professor of Renaissance Literature at Berkley. Five days before presenting her dissertation, Melissa decides to join her roommates for a night of fun. While the party scene is not really Melissa's thing, with a little liquid courage, she decides to let loose for a night and has her first ever one-night stand. While determined to never think of her one night of recklessness or the sex god who gave her the first (and 4th) orgasm she ever had without her BYOB, fate seems to have other plans… Jeremy Janes has been burned by love. Recently cheated on by his fiancee, he takes a new job as the head of the department of Medieval\Renaissance Literature at Berkley. New to California, after living his whole life in New York, he decides to have a night on the town before he begins his new job. Not looking for a relationship, he is open to a one-night stand. Jeremy has had a lot of sex in his 36 years, A LOT. But nothing has ever thrown him off like his one night with Melissa. They are aware that an unexpected pregnancy, an unprofessional (and perhaps unethical) dilemma could throw both of their futures away. Can a "professional" arrangement lead to love?

Black soot streaked my skin—except where a symbol glowed, faint but unmistakable, burned into the inside of my wrist.
A circle, broken and rejoined. A line of runes spiraled inward, ending in a tiny flame sigil.
On Drake’s wrist, where my magic still bound him, the same mark flickered to life, golden-red.
His gaze dropped to it, then back to me. Understanding dawned in those molten eyes, followed by something that might have been horror—or dark amusement.
“You tried to chain me,” he said softly. His voice crawled over my skin like embers. “But you bound yourself instead.”
He let his head fall back against the rock and laughed, rough and breathless. “Congratulations, witch. You just tied your life to a dragon.”

She was sent to capture a dragon.
He was meant to be her prisoner.

Instead, the spell meant to enslave him binds their souls together.

Christine Knight has spent her life as the Syndicate’s weapon — a witch-soldier trained to hunt rogue magic. Drake Varyn is the last dragon-shifter standing between the Syndicate and absolute power.

Now they are chained by blood and fire.

If one dies, so does the other.

If they fall in love, the world burns.

And if the Syndicate discovers what they’ve become… neither of them will survive.

This saga follows the rise of two generations bound by elemental fate.

"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.
"I was going to be the one to reject you," Kaiser spat coldly. "But you dare reject me and expect me to accept it? Listen carefully. I will take you with me, and I will make you suffer through the mate bond."
Emery Callus, popular in the pack but with no wolf or mate, had spent her life searching for a mate and failing. Her twin sister finding hers only deepened her despair. But fate had other plans. Unknowingly, the Moon Goddess paired her with the big, terrifying wolf she has always hated and feared.
Now, Emery faces a choice: reject the mate she never thought she'd have, or force herself to accept him. And as if that weren't enough, a prophecy long forgotten resurfaces, threatening her life and forcing deep, shocking revelations.
Danger, desire, and destiny collide in a story of love, power, and survival. Will Emery survive the challenges ahead and accept her mate, or defy fate altogether?

"Phoebe, please be my mistress..." Tyler Hudson stated, following the submission of the report I had been working on since yesterday. As I stared at him in disbelief, the yellow folder he was handing me back lingered in the air. "Excuse me?" I shrieked, my eyes coldly vengeful on him. "Me, your mistress? Oh, come on! You know I'm not that kind of girl, Mr. Hudson!" I exclaimed, my murderous gaze fixed on my boss.

“Don’t worry Miss Stone, you will only act as my fake mistress…” he informed me and I froze on my spot, still shaking my head in response to his offer.

Tyler Hudson, the CEO of Hudson Steel Manufacturing and Industries asked his personal assistant, Phoebe Stone to pose his fake mistress on their company’s Silver Anniversary in order to get revenge and make his ex-wife upset. Scarlet, his wife cheated on him with his closest friend and business partner, Hans Wood. Tyler chose Phoebe out of all the girls around him since he knew that she wasn’t like the other girls who were going crazy over him.

Primo Alexus Von Monasterio is the Alpha of the Serafine Pack. He did everything to be the Alpha that his people deserved.

But, it wasn't enough.

Filled with pressure from the elders, he was forced to find his Luna. But, fate did not favor him as he did not find her.

And so, he made a decision that will change his fate because he was left with no other choice.

He intended to cut the thread of fate that binds him to his mate and planned to choose someone else to be his Luna.

However, fate intervenes, and just as the thread is about to break, he hears her voice; his Luna, begging him to stop the pain.

Will Primo still proceed with his plan or will he end it?

Amelia Hartley never planned to be someone’s headline, especially not his.

She prefers facts, deadlines, and stories with proof. Fake dating a campus heartbreaker? Not a chance. Especially not Nathan Miller, Fairview University’s hockey captain, notorious bad boy, and constant tabloid favorite.

But when a journalism assignment throws them together, one impulsive public claim turns Amelia into Nathan’s fake girlfriend and drags her into a world of cameras, jealous exes, and rumors powerful enough to end his shot at going pro. The deal is simple: pretend, redeem his broken image, and make her ex regret everything.

The problem? Nathan took things too far, he forgot the rules and fell in love first.

He shows up at her dorm and classes, walks and defends her without hesitation. Looks at her like she’s the only thing that matters. And when a devastating accusation threatens his career, Amelia starts digging, only to uncover truths that change how she sees Nathan, and how deeply she’s already fallen.

Because fake dating was never meant to feel real.
And love was never supposed to hurt like this.

"I'm not your fucking mate," I hiss under my breath so other people can't hear me.

"Oh-kay, my fake mate then. We are supposed to make it look real, remember?" Ivy pouts.

"There is no 'we.' You are forcing me to play this game," I say grumpily.

"Heck, yes. And you need to be better at your acting job and pretend to be happy to see me," Ivy says, swinging her braid.

Ivy is wolfless, and she feels the weight of her pack's expectations on her shoulders. As a member of the Hidden Valley Pack, she's expected to find her fated mate and settle down. But even as Ivy approaches her twentieth birthday, she still hasn't found her mate, and her pack members are starting to question her, making her feel like a failure. Desperate to save face, she comes up with a plan to ask the handsome and popular college baseball player and pack Alpha, Ryder, to pretend to be her mate.

When Ivy approaches Ryder with her proposal, he initially scoffs at the idea. But Ivy knows that Ryder has a secret that could threaten his position as Alpha, and she uses this knowledge to her advantage. She makes a deal with Ryder: if he pretends to be her mate, she won't reveal his secret to the pack.

Valeria Whitmore had a perfect life—perfect grades, perfect reputation and a perfect boyfriend. Until one night ruined everything.

At her senior welcome party, a humiliating video of her is exposed to the whole school, turning her into an object of mockery. Betrayed by the two people she trusted most, Valeria refuses to break in front of them. So she flips the narrative and does something reckless.

She kisses the quiet, brooding scholarship student everyone whispers about, the one who hides behind hoodies and keeps his distance. What starts as a desperate act quickly turns into a deal: fake date her, and she'll help him academically and socially.

As fake turns into something dangerously real and a new transfer student interfering, Valeria finds herself caught between revenge, maintaining her reputation, and a love triangle she never saw coming.

Tyler has been through more than most, and life has never given him a real break. All he wants is to finish his job and figure things out—but one wild trip to Vegas changes everything. He wakes up married to Quin McKenzie, the same man who made his life miserable years back and probably doesn't remember.
Quin is wealthy, controlling, and desperate to keep his inheritance, so he offers Tyler a deal: stay married until he clicks thirty and get paid. Tyler doesn’t trust him, but he needs the money Quin was offering, so he agrees.
What starts as a fake marriage soon turns into something messy and real. Feelings begin to get involved and walls start to crack. Suddenly Tyler is risking his heart for a man he swore to hate.
Now, with secrets coming out and time running out, they both have to decide—is this just a mistake… or something worth fighting for?

Aria Sinclair's twin brother Asher vanished from Royal Academy three months ago. The prestigious Alpha-only institution claimed he dropped out. The police called it a runaway case. But Aria knew her brother—he would never abandon her without a word.
When Asher's encrypted final message arrived—"Trust no one. RK knows. Don't let them—"—Aria made a desperate decision. As identical twins who shared the rare phenomenon of matching scents, she would take Asher's place, infiltrate the Academy, and find the truth.
Pretending to be an Alpha when she's actually an Omega? Dangerous. Rooming with her brother's mysterious roommate Kael Ashford? Potentially deadly.
Kael is everything the Academy whispers about—a brilliant, cold Alpha from the most powerful family, with a reputation for destroying anyone who crosses him. He's also suspicious as hell, watching Aria with those predatory silver eyes like he's waiting for her to slip up.
But the longer Aria lives in Asher's shadow, the more she realizes Kael is hiding something too. He flinches at certain questions. He disappears during full moons. And worst of all, he seems to know she isn't who she claims to be.
When Aria discovers Asher's blood-stained jacket in Kael's locked drawer, she's certain she's found her brother's killer. But the mate bond thrumming between them—forbidden, impossible, intoxicating—makes her question everything.
Is Kael the monster who destroyed her family? Or is he the only one who can help her survive the deadly conspiracy that took Asher's life—and now wants hers?

When a ruthless heiress and a struggling actress wake up in each other’s bodies, their worlds turn upside down.
Olivia Smith, born into power and pride, suddenly finds herself trapped in a life of poverty and pain.
Emma Williams, quiet and selfless, opens her eyes to luxury, influence—and danger.
But as they fight to survive in lives that were never meant for them, secrets begin to unfold, hearts are stolen, and destiny starts to blur the line between who they were and who they’re meant to become.
Borrowed faces… stolen hearts.
A story of identity, redemption, and love found in the most unexpected mirrors.

I'm an ordinary waiter, but I can see people's fate, including Shifters.
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.

I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.

I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.

Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.

“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.

“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.

"You are absolutely my fucking woman, Dani. Got me?"
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."
Danielle Harris is the daughter of an overprotective police chief and has led a sheltered life. As a kindergarten teacher, she's as far removed from the world of Harleys and bikers as you could get, but when she's rescued by the sexy and dangerous Austin Carver, her life is changed forever.
Although Austin 'Booker' Carver is enamored by the innocent Dani, he tries to keep the police chief's daughter at arm's length. But when a threat is made from an unexpected source, he finds himself falling hard and fast for the only woman who can tame his wild heart.
Will Booker be able to find the source of the threat before it's too late?
Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?

I am a doctor with a successful career, and not only that, I married an incredibly wealthy man.
In others' eyes, I am the happiest woman in the world, but only I know that my life is absolutely terrible!
My husband is extremely cold toward me. He not only frequently ignores me, but also cheats on me with other women behind my back...
My mother-in-law treats me like a thief she needs to guard against, constantly making things difficult for me...
A broken marriage, failed love... Perhaps it's time for me to end this relationship and embrace a new life!

As he gently tucked her damp hair behind her ear, his hand lingered on her neck, warm and inviting. She leaned back into his touch with a contented sigh.

"You've been thinking about this, haven't you?" she teased, feeling the undeniable proof against her.

He chuckled, his breath hot on her ear. "You have no idea."

His fingers brushed lightly over the fabric of her blue bathrobe, eliciting a sharp inhale from her. "Zeidan..."

"What is it?" His voice was a low rumble, rich with desire.

She bit her lip, a coy smile playing on her lips. "Do you always get what you want?"

"Only when it's you," he murmured, his hand pausing at the rise of her chest.

A soft moan escaped her as his touch sent a jolt through her. "Mmh... don't stop."

He scooped her into his arms with a grin. "As you wish."

On the bed now, she looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with invitation. "Well? Are you just going to stand there?"

In response, Zeidan shed his shirt, the black fabric falling away. "Patience," he said, his voice teasing, "isn't always a virtue."

In a world of powerful werewolves, Aurora was the one who didn't fit the mold - a forgotten omega, hiding from the shadows. But one fiery night, the notorious playboy Alpha, Lucian Vaughn, crashed into her world, igniting a blaze of passion and fury.

Their worlds collided, and they discovered the unthinkable: they're fated mates.

Aurora's icy walls crumbled, and her darkest secrets began to unravel. Lucian, the man she loathed, was now her everything. As deadly threats close in, she must choose between surrendering to their forbidden bond or risk losing herself forever.

Can their love be the anchor that saves them, or will it be their ultimate downfall?

Rejecting him won't be easy... but surviving without him might be impossible.

"Dad... stay with me. Please."
His hand found mine, holding it like he'd never be able to again.
"I always knew you'd come," he whispered. "You're... hers. Fae. Your mother... she wasn't human. She was from the other world. I never told you. I promised her I wouldn't. I was trying to protect you. But now... now you need to run."
Selene has spent her entire life as an outcast—a wolfless omega at the bottom of the Silver Claw Pack. Beaten, discarded, and treated like nothing, she stopped dreaming of freedom long ago. Until the night she ran. With no pack and nowhere to go, she crosses into Black Oak territory, where the wolves are brutal and their Alpha even more so.
Instead of death, Selene finds a chance—a chance to fight, survive, and become something more than the weak girl everyone saw. Two months after her eighteenth birthday, her wolf awakens. And in the dining hall, she locks eyes with the last person she ever expected: Alpha Black—feared, ruthless, untouchable and now, her mate.
Selene has spent too long fighting for herself to trust this bond. Belonging to the most powerful Alpha in the region doesn't guarantee safety. It might just mean giving someone the power to break her completely.

"Don't go near your father! He will kill you!" My mother yelled in my head.

Wesley slammed on the brakes. "What's wrong Sydney?"

"Take me home Wesley......I can't go near him. He knows now!"

"Knows what?"

"That I'm in love with a werewolf!"


My name is Sydney, our world changed when werewolves made themselves known. No one knows why they decided to come out. Some people hate and fear them, like my dad. I live in an apartment with two of the best roommates. Alice, a human, and Rich, a rogue werewolf. Everything was going great, but then one day we went out to the werewolf bar The Den. My world got turned upside down when he came into my life....

"Do you take Angelina Adenike Walters as your lawful wife? " the minister said.

"I do" he replied curtly, looking nothing in particular as his eyes void any emotions he was feeling.

The minister turned to the bride  and asked, "do you take Nathaniel Xander Hugh as your lawful husband?" her heart skipped a little, staring at her unresponsive husband to be face before responding in a crooked voice, "I do".

"With the power of God, I declare both of you as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride" the minister pronounced.

Her stranger husband moved to her slowingly , opened her white veil a little as he titled his head to the right side and she closed my eyes expectantly, waiting for his cold lips to hers  but a gush of air passed through her face.

She  fluttered and her eyes opened to know what was delaying him but she was left alone at the altar humiliated.

He left her.

She  was just a replacement.

The day I died in a foreign country, my boyfriend was in the spotlight with another woman.

He's the man I built from nothing. Five years ago, I saved a broke orphan fresh out of college from the gutter. He said he wanted to be famous, wanted to make it to the top of the hockey world. In exchange, he became my boyfriend for five years.

I gave him the best coaching staff money could buy. Bought an entire hockey franchise and made him the centerpiece. Called in every favor I had to make him MVP.

But while he enjoyed everything I gave him, he refused to make our relationship public. Said it would "hurt his brand." He could make headlines with reporters and models, but nobody could know I existed.

He even said on national TV: "Those owners who just throw money around are pretty boring. Hockey is about skill, not money."

So why did he lose his mind when he found out I was dead?

Darcy Madu never imagined she’d become a billionaire’s nanny or find herself at the heart of a high-profile scandal. But when she walks into Adrian Ashford’s office and instantly calms his inconsolable daughter, Hazel, fate intervenes. As Darcy navigates life in the penthouse, she discovers the man behind the empire is grieving, guarded, and desperately in need of someone who can love them both unconditionally.

Amidst whispers of betrayal, media scrutiny, and Adrian’s own walls of guilt, Darcy and Adrian’s hearts collide in quiet moments of laughter, care, and stolen glances. But can love survive when the world seems determined to tear them apart or will the past and family expectations force them to let go of the only happiness they’ve ever truly known?

I've got a reputation on campus as a doormat with zero dignity. I bring Wyatt Langley food, do his homework, act as his emotional dumping ground. Been at it for a year.

His rich friends mock my cheap clothes and say I'm reaching way out of my league. He never stops them. Sometimes he even laughs along.

Finally, he announces in front of everyone that he's breaking up with me. His first love is coming back from Europe, so I need to get lost.

Everyone's waiting to see me cry.

I glance at the five million dollars that hit my account half an hour ago and say, with complete sincerity, "Okay. Congrats."

What nobody knows is that I put up with him, tolerated his rotten temper, for one simple reason. His mom pays way too well.

Now the money's here. Time to end this arrangement.

So why, the second I walk away, does he start tearing the city apart trying to find me?

I was but eighteen when I found myself captivated by my best friend’s brother.

At twenty-one, I mustered the courage to confess my feelings. He welcomed me into his bed but never once into his heart.

For three long years, I reassured myself: "Just a little while longer. He will see me in due time."

Then Stella returned—the girl he had always yearned for, even while his hands roamed my body in the shadows.

He greeted her return with champagne and candlelight, and then, locking his gaze upon me amidst a gathering, he coldly declared:

"You crawled into my bed and offered yourself. Don't you see how cheap and pitiable you appear?"

I raised my eyes, meeting his once more.

"I shall no longer trouble you."

I retrieved my phone, navigated to a contact I had seldom engaged—my betrothed by arrangement—and typed: "I consent to the marriage."

I, Hailey, thought my fated mate would be the one to stand by me, but he rejected me. And now, in the midst of a string of supernatural killings, I'm trapped, kidnapped to aid in the hunt for the murderer.

I've always been a bit of an outcast—hybrid witch-fae—banished from the place I called home. The Twin Crescent Moon wolf pack and my coven had a long history of intertwining, yet their alpha, the one destined to be mine, wanted nothing to do with my unusual psychic powers.

Five long years have passed since his rejection, and now, a witch's life has been taken right in my own neighborhood. Despite my roommate's warnings, I feel compelled to dig into this.

Enough with the parlor tricks I perform at the bar using my visions. This is real, a genuine serial killer targeting witches. And I won't sit idly by.

Then, there's Matteo, my fated mate, swaggering into town with all his pomp, demanding that I use my gifts to solve a murder within his own pack. But I'm done bending to his commands.

Of course, he doesn't take no for an answer. He just shoves me into his car, shutting down any further discussion.

His father's life has been taken, and now he expects me to help, despite the fact that these very powers were the reason he turned his back on me in the first place.

If only I had maced him the moment I saw him.

"Good. I can't wait but what if I want it now?" Prince Dominus teased and Akira lips pressed together. She didn't utter a word.
That earned her a scoff. Then his hand moved, not gently, his fingers brushing down the line of her neck, across her collarbone. She tensed under his touch, her breath quickening as every nerve screamed for her to flee. But she didn't move.
His fingers moved lower, brushing over the fabric of her dress, just very close to her breast. Akira inhaled sharply, not in shock, but in the dull, hollow way she had grown accustomed to his touch.
Leaning closer, his lips moved over her shoulders. She hated that her skin still responded to him; her wolf hated it too. But after seven years, even hatred had lost it's sharpness.
His hand slid up, cupping her breast through the fabric. She flinched- just slightly. He noticed. He always noticed. "You're harder today," he whispered, brushing his thumb slowly over her nipple. "Almost like you missed me."
Akira said nothing. His other hand smoothed over her hip, then gave a sharp, playful smack that made her jerk. A grin tugged at his lips.
"I like when you're quiet," he said. "You're best when you're quiet."
Akira closed her eyes. She could feel the warmth of his cock pressed against her.


The day Akira chose to escape from school and return home to see her family, she met only ashes. After fifteen years of being hidden from the prying eyes of the Grand Alpha King, the one day she finally returns home, everything is gone.
No family. No friends. No hounds.
And worse, she is captured by Prince Dominus. She spends years in slavery, secretly planning her escape. When the opportunity finally comes, she flees. But where is safe from the Alpha King's reach.
Just when she begins to believe her life is taking a better turn, she is abducted again by the very ones who destroyed her past. The ones who exterminated her family. The ones who took her captive.
And now, she discovers an unthinkable truth: she is fated to the Grand Alpha King, the same man who once ordered her family's death, the same one who tried to claim her years ago.
How can she accept being mated to such a monster? Worse still, how can she tell him that his son, Prince Dominus, also desires her?

When my mother-in-law and I went undercover on our own yacht, a woman in a bikini pointed at us and screamed, "Broke trash!"

She ordered the bodyguards to throw us into the sea.

"This is the VIP section! You freeloading scum snuck on board for free food and drinks—get lost!"

She pinched her nose, looking at my mother-in-law and me with complete disgust.

I said coldly, "This is a public area. We have the right to be here."

"Public area?" She burst into shrill laughter, dripping with arrogance. "Do you even know whose yacht this is? My boyfriend's! The most powerful man in this city!"

Victoria and I exchanged confused looks—this yacht, the Poseidon, was clearly being managed by my husband Alexander.

When did he become someone else's boyfriend?!

I promised Ethan Caldwell, the boy I grew up with, I'd give up the top schools to attend some mediocre college with him.

On the final day of application submission, I brought homemade soup to his studio.

Outside the door, I heard him bragging to his friends: "Claire Bennett's like a damn puppy. I tell her to come to NYU with me, and boom, she changes her whole application to NYU. Lily's grades are shit. If Claire doesn't go for that full scholarship, Lily's got it in the bag. And Claire's so whipped, even when she finds out, she'll just suck it up like always."

The thermos in my hands feels cold now.

He broke down the morgue door, his guttural scream echoing off the cold tiles as he yanked open drawer after drawer.

"Emily!"

Ethan's hands shook violently as he pulled it open. She lay inside, a white sheet draped over her face. With trembling fingers, he peeled back the fabric. Her face was paper-white, lips bloodless, her eyelashes casting faint shadows. So still.

This wasn't the Emily he knew. The Emily he knew could smile, could cry, could clumsily try to warm his frozen heart. But now, she was just a corpse. A corpse because of him.

"Cancer... stage four..." he whispered, drowning in a tidal wave of panic.

He remembered all those times she had clutched her stomach in agony, and he had mocked her. He remembered demanding she give her heart to his lover. He remembered her final silent words through the surgical glass: "I hate you."

"AHHH—!!" A raw scream tore from his throat. He slammed his fist into the metal drawer, blood blooming across his knuckles.

He collapsed beside her, pulling her stiff, freezing body into his arms. She was so light. Like holding air.

"Emily, I was wrong. I was so wrong," he choked out, crying for the first time in years. "Wake up. Hit me. Hate me. I'm begging you..."

But death is the most absolute silence of all. How far will a man go when he realizes he murdered his only salvation?
