Now they are forced to be gathered most uncommonly again, after ten years of absence.

What would happen to our protagonists?

My father sold me to a billionaire for fifty million dollars, but he didn’t know he was handing me straight to the most ruthless Alpha werewolf in existence.

He didn’t hesitate. I stood in the living room as he signed the contract, treating me like merchandise. No suitcase. No farewell. Just a completed transaction. I was shoved into a black luxury car and driven deep into a towering, watchful forest. I expected a cold, old CEO.

Instead, the doors opened to Alpha Kael Draven.

He stood at the top of the marble staircase, broad-shouldered and dangerously handsome. His eyes weren't human. They were liquid silver. The guards lining the hall lowered their heads in absolute terror. He walked toward me slowly, studying me like a predator inspecting his prey.

"You understand why you are here," he said, his voice a low rumble. "You are my bride."

He stepped too close. The air around him felt thick, electric, almost alive. Then he inhaled. Slowly. His entire body went still. A suppressed growl vibrated in his chest.

When his fingers brushed the skin of my neck, a sharp pulse of energy shot through me. Above us, the massive crystal chandelier trembled violently, crystals shattering against the marble floor.

Kael’s silver eyes darkened into something lethal. He grabbed my wrist, pulling me toward the moonlight. A glowing crescent mark was burning into my skin.

"You smell human," he whispered, his voice dropping into a dangerous, possessive growl. "But humans cannot trigger a mate mark."

He trapped me against the pillar, his massive frame caging me in. "What exactly are you?"

If Kael Draven was right, my parents hadn’t just sold me for money. They had delivered me to a supernatural world that had been hunting me all along. And now… the most dangerous Alpha in the city had just claimed me as his.

"There's a way you can return the favour, Woods."

"Huh?" I blinked confusedly. Hope blossomed in my chest as I flickered my eyes between the identical twin Alphas. "Really?"

"Yes." Rowan smirked but there was a glint in his eyes that made me nervous. He glanced at his brother who gave him a nod. "You have to be our omega."


Life so far for Erin Woods sucked. At the mere age of eighteen, she was outcast by her pack members, her family humiliated and shamed. Her father's publishing company became on the verge of going bankrupt, and her mother stopped talking to her, and her sister hates her. Now five years later, the situation only worsened.

The Armani Clan twins-Rowan and Reed, are back in their hometown following their father's sudden demise. Having no choice but to assume the role of Pack Alphas, they are in dire need of finding a suitable Luna. And who's a better choice than an omega in desperate need of money?

I was sold by my very own father into slavery, left to be either a tool to be exploited, sucked dry, or killed… either way, my life would still be miserable.

I was bought by a vampire prince who didn’t see me as a person....just a trophy for his mother and her council.

That night, I prayed he would feel every ounce of the pain I had endured. I should have been more careful.

The next morning, I woke up as him… and he woke up as me. Some days I live in my own body. Some days in his. And every day, I never know which is coming.

He is learning what it means to be powerless. I am learning what it means to be feared.

The only way to break this curse is to fall in love.

A prince who rules a city of monsters.
A slave girl who just wants to survive.
I hate vampires… but could I really fall in love with one?

They will stop at nothing to try and tear us apart, but you can not escape destiny, fate, or your mate.
MIYA
An internal battle is taking place between my mind and my heart. It is waging a war, blurring the lines between what is right and what is wrong...
Zion Mahji is my human kryptonite, my savior and I'm his fated mate.
I am drawn to him like a moth to a flame.
And maybe that's my problem...
I'm too afraid that my heart will get scorched as he makes my body sizzle with desire.
ZION
Miya makes me weak, vulnerable, leaving my heart unguarded...
I didn't know I was lost until I found her...
And when she is captured by our sworn enemy, I will stop at nothing to find her.
I will destroy the entire Galactic cosmo hunting for her, killing to get to her just so she can breathlessly bring me to my knees and un-male me with a sinful smirk playing on my lips.

He was her fated mate.

But to him, she’s the daughter of the monster who destroyed his world.

He was supposed to kill her.

He was never supposed to love her.

The daughter of a ruthless rogue king, Sienna Valerius lived a perfect princess life but suddenly hunted, hated, and marked for death before she ever had a choice.

She hopes for freedom.

But fate doesn't care about bloodlines. It only cares about bonds.

Alpha Kieran—the cold, merciless leader of the Darkmoon Pack, whose people were slaughtered by Sienna’s father years ago. He wanted her dead. He wanted to make her suffer for father's sins

But when he saw her

He was torn between vengeance and desire, Kieran claims her not as his Luna—but as his prisoner. His captive. His responsibility. And maybe... something more.

Yet every heated stare, every forbidden touch, pulls them deeper into something neither of them can fight.

He wants revenge.

She wants freedom.

But fate wants them tangled in ways that will either save their world... or set it on fire.

This wasn’t just a love story—it was a war. A battle of control and surrender, of pleasure tangled with power, of a hunger that burned hotter than hate.

Draven Nightbourne didn’t take Reyna for her blood. He didn’t steal her away for power or revenge. He took her because he had to—because fate had bound them together long before she ever knew his name. A prophecy warned that if he failed to protect her, she would be his downfall. But with every whispered command, every slow, torturous test of her submission, he wondered—was she here to destroy him, or to make him kneel?

Reyna swore she would never yield to him. She fought him at every turn, even as her body betrayed her, even as the lines between fear and desire, pain and pleasure blurred into something darkly addictive. Draven never forced—he controlled, breaking her down with silk and steel, binding her in ways that had nothing to do with chains.

She was his captive, his obsession, his mate.

And when his hands pinned her in place, when his mouth brushed the pulse at her throat, when he whispered “mine” like a vow—

She knew she already was.

Faith never expected her quiet life as an obedient omega to change. Born at the bottom of the pack hierarchy, she was raised to serve, to submit, and to stay invisible. Her only hope for something more was her promised mate the gentle younger brother of the Alpha. A union arranged by the elders safe, simple, and expected.

Until David, the brutal Alpha of the Rainfall Pack, laid eyes on her.

Possessive. Cold. Dangerous. His presence alone silenced entire rooms. The beast within him, barely contained, saw something in Faith no one else did. And in a single reckless moment, he did the unthinkable he marked her as his.

Now claimed by the very Alpha who was never meant to be hers, Faith is thrust into a world of dominance, primal desire, and forbidden bonds. Every glance from him burns. Every touch devours. But while David’s cruelty rules the pack, his tenderness toward her awakens something far more terrifying than fear longing.

Yet not everyone accepts an omega as Luna. Especially not Divine the vicious she-wolf chosen to be David’s mate since childhood. With betrayal brewing and war at the pack’s borders, Faith must decide: submit to the role forced upon her, or rise to claim the power hidden in her blood.

She was meant to belong to another.
But the beast within the Alpha has made his choice.
And he will never let her go.

I was born wolf-less. An orphan. The pack’s favorite punching bag. But nothing broke me like the day my fated mate rejected me in front of everyone… while his girlfriend laughed in my face.

Days later, she turned up dead. And they blamed me.

Dragged before the entire pack, betrayed by lies, I was sentenced to banishment—left to bleed out in the woods like I was nothing. I should have died.

But instead, I was saved.

Taken into the territory of the most powerful pack in the region, I came face to face with two Alpha brothers. Fierce. Handsome. And nothing like the cruel wolves I left behind.

He is fearless and makes everyone shake at the sight of him, of admiration or fear.

He is a beast! He is ruthless and overpowering but all that changes when a debt is paid with a young, innocent virgin.

Valeria endured all the abuse and hardship she faced from her Alpha father for being his least favorite child.

She endured it all until he came up with the most hideous idea of marrying her off to the notorious Alpha twins in exchange for financial and political assistance.

Valeria vows to escape that fate, even if it means toying with the cold heart of the ruthless Lycan King, Lucius, enchanting him at first sight and manipulating him into claiming her on her wedding day, in front of the hundred guests.

A plate of fried rice and beef, along with a cup of water, was pushed into the room for me before it shut.

I ran to pick it up and then sat down on the floor to eat. I don't care where the food came from or whether it is poisonous or not.

Besides, I was extremely hungry. i devoured the food like a lion before gulping the water down my throat.

However, the door opened in no time, and two women entered, carrying a grave face and a nylon bag in their hands.

Without any warning, one of them grabbed me from the floor and dragged me towards the bathroom.

"Who are you?" "Let me go!" I yelled at them, but my screams fell on deaf ears, and their grip tightened.

They rough-handled me in the bathroom, pulling my clothes fiercely before bathing me. I tried to protest, but I only got a series of slaps, making me go numb and tired.

After the bathing section, they sat me down on the dressing table. They began to style my hair into a bun. Behind my head before, I was forced to wear a black bra, black pants, and a net gown, leaving my body half exposed.

I gripped my chest, trying to cover my breasts that were exposed to the naked eyes.

Before I could think of anything else, a blindfold was tied around my eyes again and my hands were chained with handcuffs, and I felt my body rise from the stool by the hands of the women, then I felt my bare feet cleaning the floor as I was dragged away. "Where are they taking me to?!"

Elena spent three months searching for her missing husband, clinging to hope. That hope dies the moment she learns the truth: Williams isn't missing. He's alive, and about to marry Melissa Roberts, the ruthless mafia heiress.

Shattered and betrayed, Elena turns to the last man she can trust, Kai, Williams' estranged stepbrother. Cold, dangerous, and tied to the underworld, he offers answers at a price that could cost her everything.

Drawn into a world where every secret is deadly and every choice could be her last, Elena must risk everything to uncover the truth. Because betrayal isn't the end of her nightmare. It is only the beginning.

Now she must decide: chase the man who destroyed her, or surrender to the one who could ruin her.

The once handsome man changes into a huge midnight black wolf with a white half-moon mark in his forehead. That's the birth mark of every King in their wolf form but the color is not always black. The previous king is a brown wolf.

They are all shouting ‘hail for the new King, Hail for King Zeus.' And I joined them from here. 

I'm still shouting when I see my father looking at my direction. We lock our eyes together and by that I knew I'm in trouble. I shift back into my wolf form and run as fast as I can back home.

I know he will punish me, he always will.

I reach the pack house in no time and lock the door of my room. I know there is no escape to my father's fury even the closed door can't stop him from hurting me.

Slipping into a faux engagement with the one man who still haunts my midnight fantasies? That's the kind of reckless decision that sends shivers down my spine—and it's exactly the offer Jason Shane, my new boss and former high school flame, presents to me. I'm the one who accidentally encounters his smoldering gaze and sculpted physique in the men's locker room, where the steam isn't just from the showers.

The chemistry? It's as palpable as the droplets running down his toned chest. The proposal? A seductive plot to parade as his betrothed to dazzle the company's higher-ups. The payment is generous, tempting, and utterly scandalous. With a racing heart and a whispered "yes," I find myself swept into a world of intoxicating luxury and sinful playacting.

But this retreat is no ordinary affair. Each feigned caress is laced with genuine longing, every pretend kiss laden with real desire. I'm caught in a dance of sensual deception, where every touch is a secret confession of yearning. As the lines between performance and reality blur, the man with the ruthless business edge shows glimpses of the tender lover from my past.

I keep telling myself it's all just a game, that the man who now commands boardrooms can't possibly offer the tenderness I crave. It's supposed to be easy to leave the fantasy behind when the masquerade ends. Yet, with every stolen embrace, I'm left questioning whether this act of passion could lead to a love that's all too real.

I'm stepping into a story where fiery old passions ignite amidst a high-stakes game of love and pretense, testing the boundaries between the facade and the heartfelt. Can I play the part without falling for the man behind the mask?

"I, Lucifer Demi..."

Before I could react or reply, Anna struck me with the iron rod, Jerome used to discipline me, and I lost consciousness.

When I regained consciousness, my eyes took time to adjust to the darkness that surrounded me. The side of my head hurt and throbbed in pain. Moving my body, I heard the sound of chain clinks, and it didn't take me much time to realize where I was. Scrambling over the floor, my hand touched the iron bars, and my heart sunk in realization. I noticed the inscription boldly written on the walls, and I could hear the wails of women and children.

“I am back to the slave establishment!” I gasped, my eyes wide with horror as I clutched my belly in a futile attempt to shield my unborn children from the darkness that surrounded me.

"Rule number five, don't ever question any of my actions! You are my property, and I choose the way I treat things that belong to me!" He scowled at me.
I bowed immediately. "Get up!" He ordered, and I managed to stand up.
He moved closer to me, his face looming in front of me, he bent down and bit my neck.
"Ahh!" I cried out, the pain was unbearable, it felt as though a hot knife had just passed between my soul.
After he was done, he licked it once again, and I could even smell his saliva, and the smell was…....
I took a step back, my eyes widened, and my face was covered in disbelief.
Who is this man? And how is he able to bite human flesh?* It suddenly dawned on me! This man might not be a human! What if he is a human eater? A demon? A beast? Oh no! It is true, he is the devil's son!

She walked closer to me as the clacking sound of her heels entertained the tense atmosphere.
"Honey! We can make this work; just give it a chance." Her voice was soft and luring as she traced my jawline with her thumb.
I groan in irritation and grip her wrist, saying, "Enough, Miss M.K., please leave my office." I ordered quickly.

I breathed in relief. I picked up a cup of coffee and gulped it.

Mustering every strength to set things right in her awry life, she gets embroiled in an ages-old feud and a struggle for power of mind-boggling proportions. Strangely enough, she finds herself connecting with Erick in ways she never knew she could. Suddenly, everything is not what it seems.
Is Erick the heartless monster Alina makes him out to be? Will a vampire law made eons ago be the undoing of the whole vampire race? Will heated passion bloom in these bloodiest of times?

They said an Omega didn't belong in their elite military academy. They were right—I didn't belong. I was meant to destroy it.
I was Celia, the scholarship nobody, the punching bag for five ruthless Alpha brothers who ruled the school like gods. The Hale brothers made my life hell just because I dared to be smarter than them. They humiliated me, tormented me, nearly killed me.
Then they murdered the only person who tried to help me.
"You think you can compete with us?" Zaxer's breath was hot against my ear as he held me over the rooftop edge. "You're nothing but a pathetic little Omega."
"Then why are you so threatened by me?" I whispered back, watching his eyes darken.
They let me fall. Krystal, the friend I trusted, kissed my tormentor while I plummeted to my death.
But I didn't die. I got my wolf. And with her came a hunger for vengeance that burned hotter than any mate bond.
Now I'm back, and the game has changed. I know their secrets, their weaknesses, their guilty consciences. They think they can corner me in empty classrooms, threaten me with those piercing stares and brutal words?
"Hit me," I dared Zaxer in front of everyone, my voice steady as steel. "Show them all what kind of Alphas you really are."
He couldn't. Because for the first time, they realized something: the broken Omega they tortured has teeth now.
They ruined me once. Killed for me twice.
But when Kaiden growled those three words—"You're our mate"—everything I thought I knew shattered.
Because how do you destroy the ones fate bound you to?
Revenge never tasted so savage. Love never cut so deep.

But was there one exception to the rule? Could it be that Scarlet, her daughter, is the last remaining vampire on earth? As Scarlet tries to fight who she’s becoming, she also tries to fight her intense feelings for Blake, a boy in her grade who she has a crush on. She can’t tell, though, if he’s into her, and with the big Halloween dance just days away, the pressure is on. She would do anything for Blake to ask her. But Vivian, the meanest of the popular girls, is also on Blake’s radar, and she’ll do anything to make Blake hers—and to make Scarlet’s life a living hell.

They, too, have guy troubles—but it isn’t until Sage appears, the mysterious new boy, that her friends become obsessed.

Soon it may be impossible for her to be near her fellow humans. Soon, she may have to choose between her desire to live and her desire for love.

Her future was set in stone; in just three months, she would become the first Alpha female of her bloodline.

Life felt like a dream until one day, it turned into a nightmare. That day, Aife learned that the vicious beast elders brought up as a way to scare children wasn’t just a fruit of someone’s imagination.

He came out of the shadows to prove he was real: the pack was under attack, warriors fell at her feet and she was forced to make a choice that would shatter her reality. “Her. Give me her and I will let the remaining ones live. Give her willingly or I will take her after I finish slaughtering the few pack members you have left.”

To save them, Aife agreed to leave with the man who slaughtered her pack. Little did she know her life would be at his mercy from the moment he threw her over his shoulder. In a matter of hours, Aife lost the title of the future Alpha and became the beast’s possession.

"I, Evyths Thorne, reject your claim as my mate, Alpha Ryker Rockwell. I would rather burn in hell than become your enslaved Luna!"

There, her rejection stood as an imprint on Alpha Ryker's reign, being rejected by an Omega.

..........
ARCANE DESIRES' Trilogy (book 1)

In a world where vampires and werewolves coexist under a fragile truce, Evthys “Eva” Thorne has already survived the worst her kind can offer.

Marked as an Omega and bound by fate to Alpha Ryker Rockwell, she does the unthinkable—she rejects him. Publicly. Brutally.

His response is merciless.

Tortured. Enslaved. Broken.

Until she is traded to the vampires as collateral in a desperate political bargain: in exchange for a wolfsbane antidote, the werewolves offer protection from the ever-growing threat of hunters in return, the antidote.

But the vampires do not receive a victim.

They receive a weapon.

Valerio D’Arcy Belmont—vampire prince, scholar of supernatural biology, and heir to a ruthless throne—discovers something impossible within her blood.

Evthys is immune to wolfsbane.

And worse, her blood responds to his.

As political tensions escalate and betrayal strikes the fragile truce, Valerio ascends to the throne under violent circumstances. War looms between species. Hunters close in. And an ancient prophecy surfaces, naming Evthys as the Moon’s Chosen—destined to decide the survival of her people.

But destiny never accounted for desire.

A Blood Bond between Vampire and Omega should not exist.

If completed, it could unite two enemies…

Or destroy them both.

In the end, Evthys must choose:

Her king.
Or her kind.

And some loves are powerful enough to start wars.

There were five of them. Piece of cake! I howled as I liked to make my presence felt. Their reddened eyes turned to me just as one of them tore at the man’s throat and grabbed the woman. I almost lost my mind with rage when I saw their damn claws at her neck. To my surprise, he didn’t sink his fangs in, instead, with full force, he broke her legs. Her desperate scream of pain echoed through the forest. The trees would be the only witnesses to the massacre I was about to make. In pain, she fainted. They messed with her. Big mistake!
