Daniella Rodriguez has been in love with Jason Bernardi, her lover, for three years.
He was nice, mature, a good listener, amusing, open-minded, unrestrained, non-possessive, and really calm. Furthermore, he had a deep affection for her.
That's why Daniella accepted Jason's proposal. Trusting her love for his love and believing that her decision was correct.

Daniella was so sure.

Then she met that man.
Zane Bernardi.
Her faith in everything about her relationship with Jason was fading.
Zane Bernardi is well known as Italy's wealthiest billionaire and president of the Bernardi family oil firm.
But Daniella remembers Zane Bernardi as Danzel, a cold-blooded mobster who tricked her into giving up her virginity and then left her the next day.

Daniella tries to keep her distance from him because...Zane Bernardi is harsh and cruel, with enough self-confidence to last two lives, and she despises him because of what he has done to her in the past.

In contrast to his little brother, Zane exemplified total irreverence.
Darker, colder, and more intoxicating.
To top it all off, his wonderful looks are enough to justify all his mischief; he is fiery, handsome, sexy, hot, irresistible and luring.

In the midst of Zane's relentless pressure, his dark allure, and the vicious cycle he was dragging her into, Daniella wished she could draw away from him.
But rejecting him exacerbates his infatuation.
Her resistance bolstered him.

He was ruthless, bringing out the deep darkness in Daniella, who relished it.
However, she would not tolerate him bringing her ruin.
She'd be damned if she let him be her downfall.

In a world where magic and monsters lurk in the shadows, 24-year-old Nuel Ainsworth has made a name for himself as a ruthless hunter of dark magic users. Driven by a personal vendetta, he's spent years eradicating threats to humanity - until the day he's forced to confront the ultimate horror: his own destiny.

When Nuel's latest mission goes horribly wrong, he's captured by a rival organization who reveal a shocking truth: the prestigious family he's been working for has been manipulating him all along, using him to further their own sinister agenda. The mission that nearly cost him his life was, in fact, a deliberate attempt to eliminate him.

With his life hanging in the balance, Nuel is presented with an impossible choice: undergo a forbidden awakening that will grant him the very magic he's sworn to destroy, or watch as his foster aunt suffers the consequences of his refusal.

As Nuel navigates the treacherous landscape of his newfound powers, he's drawn into a world of ancient secrets, forgotten lore, and unholy alliances. The demons he once hunted now march towards humanity's last stronghold, fueled by a desire for vengeance against the hunter who slain their princess.

With the fate of humanity hanging by a thread, Nuel must confront the darkness within himself and make a choice: succumb to the nightmare that has haunted him his entire life, or rise above it to become the hero he never wanted to be.

My name is Katia; I want to find my fated mate and live a peaceful life raising our pups. The problem is that I have holes in my memories and don’t understand who or what I am. I know I am a werewolf, but I am also something else.
Rejection is the last straw! I am not worthy is the reason he gives. The pain doubles me over; my wolf is whimpering in my head, and tears are running down my face. I whispered my acceptance of his rejection and took off running.
I ran through the pack house, across the green, manicured lawn, and into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me, and our life has been difficult. She whispers," It's not your fault, Katia."
I don't know how long or far we ran, but we came to a cliff with a waterfall. The pain from the rejection is unbearable, and the hurt keeps pounding at me. I know I am missing something. Aza, my wolf, feels it, too; she says we are more than regular werewolves and are here for a reason. We cannot remember the reason. I stand staring at the water running over and down, creating the fall. What is the reason? Why can I or Aza not remember? Does it have something to do with the way others treat us? I am trying to figure out why our memories do not make sense. My sweet girl and I want peace. I stand staring into the oblivion of the pool at the bottom of the waterfall. Someone was yelling my name from the direction I ran. I do not want to go back there.
I spread my arms and fly.

When the hundredth pearl arrived, I presented him with the divorce papers. The pain of my miscarriage still lingered, as he offered me a rare black pearl to "atone"; moments later, he was liking his mistress's posts.

He believed pearls could purchase my love, unaware that each bead counted down the moments of our marriage.

In the end, what does it matter if he risked everything to protect me?

I shall never turn back.

I don’t remember who I am. Not where I came from. Not who I can trust.
All I know is that I woke up at a party, surrounded by strangers—until Killian, Khai, Elijah, and Asher, four hot dragons, stepped in to help me. There’s something about them that makes me feel safe around them. And when they tell I'm their fated mate, I finally feel like I can breathe again.

Because I fell into the hands of some very dangerous people.
Now, all I can do is hope they come for me.
And if they don’t… I’ll have to fight my way out.
And that won’t be easy, especially when I’m trapped on a ship surrounded by a magical mist.


“See what you are doing to me, Muffin?” I nod, my eyes fixed on the tip of his dick. I want to taste him. “Do you want to help me feel good?”

The corners of his mouth twitch. “You will take every inch of my cock, because you are my sweet girl and you want to please me.”
My clit throbs again.
Khai inhales deeply. “Fuck, Muffin. You’re wet again.”

The best way of ruining people's heart and mind is memories. Want a revenge? Give them memories, as much as you can." Taliya gasped on his low and husky voice looking at him with strange emotions as she raised her hand to graze his cheek but her smacked it down gently and continued.

"Destroy them, destroy their future, while making a past with them. Promise a soul-less present and then vanish, vanish into the thin air. Never come back, but watch them ruining themselves with the memories you gave them."

"That's what you said before pushing me of the roof, right? I remember it all, now, now. I want answers to every question of mine."

I knew Xavier was in love with Joy the moment he met her. However, it didn't stop me or Cristos from falling in love with her too.

"I doubt an empire will come crushing down because we love the same girl," I said. De Luca looked at me, shocked.



"Do you guys steal money from other people?" I asked, completely shocked at his revelation. I knew Cristos was good with computers and encryption, I just didn't know how far it went.

"Sometimes. Sometimes we manipulate, troll, steal incriminating evidence. The usual."

"Our fake ID's...did you make them?" I asked. I was impressed because they looked so real. "Judging from the monitors, it looks like a call center. How could you have the capital? The security to work without even being scared of law enforcement?"

"Sebastian, Xavier and I were born into this kind of life. Since we were little, we were trained to work as a unit just like our fathers. Mama Rose isn't just a simple housewife. She is also part of the organization and sits as a third high ranking official," Cristos explained. "Sebastian, Xavier and I are underbosses of the Blood Disciples, the ruling party of the West Coast Mafia. Our fathers are the bosses while our mothers and sisters are consiglieres. We are in training to become the bosses once our fathers retire. Sebastian is in charge of merchandise, ports, and businesses while Xavier handles the trash. I, on the other hand, am in charge of the virtual world. Anything digital goes through me."

Boston- There's just something about sneaking around that gets the blood pumping, and sneaking around with my stepsister gets me excited in more ways than one.

Excerpt

"What were you trying to do, Qiyara?" My eyes devour the harshness of his hungered swallow and his clenched trembling fist set against the wall. His raging heat that bounds me within, I find unfathomably irresistible.

"I was merely dancing, Cronus." A feverish breathless lie I spout engraving the way the tip of his hot tongue peeks out his mouth to caress his plump lower lip. I wish to obtain a taste of what he can offer.

My ample breasts heave achingly to stroke his wicked flesh, his eyes set aflame to my words for he knows I hold no truth. Then I shall gladly be a sinner, his sinner.

"If you were trying to make me jealous so that I would lose my control and ravish you then you are wrong. I have trained to be a master of control since I was a mere pup. Do not test me." He does not understand, my desperation for him to ram himself raw & deep within me.

"You won't touch me." I move forward swiftly to taste the nape of his neck with a seductiveness. My hand descends his sculpted flesh to embrace his straining girth that is fastened under his jeans. Succumb to me, my male.

He seizes my wrist with brutality. "You are still young, you are not ready." He is too much of an honourable male for me.

"Fuck me, Cronus. Take me against this wall." I am relentless in my lewdness. I lure him into my den.

"Stop it, Qiyara!"

Blazing eyes meet his with a formidable determination. "Then I will keep going against you. I shall be the devil for I will entice you because I ache to feel it."

"Feel what?" He questions nose flaring, his wrath to my stubbornness soaring.

"You lose control."


The forbidden fruit, that was what Cronus was to me. He was one of my brother's closest friends and the most sought-after male who many females from diverse packs fawned over praying he would end up being hers. He was a charmer indeed for with those flirty smiles of his and genuine kindness he enthralled many including me. He was thirteen years older than me but I always had a thing for older males so it started out as a covert crush until I too stood in line with the rest of the females hoping to claim him as mine. However, my position in that line of thirsty females was not last as I had expected but first for Cronus ended up being my mate just as I yearned for, the moon's gift.

Forbidden fruit? Not anymore, Cronus is mine and I am going to gobble this male up.

“Y….you….just what are you?” the young woman staggered back in fear as she yelled looking at the demoness in front of her.
The silver-haired woman laughed so eerily that those that were around were struck by fear. This person was not human, how can anyone look so terrifying and emit such a scary aura?
“I once told you that I am your worst nightmare but I guess your curiosity still got the best of you!
Now my darling sister, how should we continue this game?”
Someone once said that revenge is sweet and surely for her, it was indeed sweet. Her ignorance and her mother’s got them both killed. Even though it was already too late for her to amend and beg for forgiveness, she didn’t deserve the way she died.

Since a new chance had been given to her, won’t it be best if she does something sweet?

It's the start of a new school year for Scarlett and a lot has changed... On the top of her list are: newfound freedom, the relationship between her and her mate, and the craving for blood. But she's not about to let any of that stop her from trying to figure out what she's going to do with the rest of her life. And certainly not the summons from the Queen of the US branch of the royal Coven. Or the open-invitation to return to the Reinier Pack from her cousin, Paris. And definitely not the ever-present shadow she now feels in the back of her mind that seems to take over when she blacks out...
