After the union of their bodies. Angek was faced with a the fact that Erick is a vampire. She tried not to believe it, but the appearance of Jack Wild - a handsome werewolf who was also after her - was proof that all of this was real.

When Angel wanted to dodge, it was too late, because she was a "Holy Maiden" that their clan was fighting over.

“No panties again,” he growled low, fingers sliding through her slick folds. “You’ve been waiting for this.”

Isla’s breath hitched. “Dante—”

“Quiet.” He sank two fingers deep, curling hard. “Look at me while you come undone for the wrong brother.”

Her head fell back; he tightened his grip on her throat just enough.

“Dante… please…”

He replaced his fingers with his cock in one brutal thrust. She cried out, legs wrapping around him as he fucked her against the wall—deep, punishing, possessive.

“Say my name when you come,” he rasped, hips snapping. “Not his. Mine.”

I was sold to the ruthless Don, Dante Romano.
Instead, they married me off to his identical twin, Damian—thinking it would keep me tame.

Married to a man you can't recognize?

He lives in Italy and she lives in New York. Till it all changed, they have to live together and give birth to an heir. He is fire, she is fireworks.

Luis has always kept to himself, a shy, introverted gamer hiding in the shadows of Oakfield High. But everything changes when his best friend drags him to a club, where a chance encounter with Garber Yarros—the school’s golden boy—sets his world ablaze.

“Look who we have here. If it isn’t the cute nerd of our class. Where are your glasses?” Garber’s teasing words had Luis’s heart racing, but his next actions left it shattered.

When Garber shoves him away in disgust, calling him “gross” and “gay,” Luis’s quiet admiration turns to heartbreak. The humiliation of being rejected by his lifelong crush is almost unbearable—until Garber’s late-night intrusion into his room reveals a hidden truth.

“You play innocent in class, but deep down, you’ve always wanted me to touch you, haven’t you?” Garber whispers, his hands rough but deliberate, igniting a dangerous passion Luis knows he shouldn’t want.

Caught in a whirlwind of toxic desire and lingering humiliation, Luis must confront a painful question: can love survive when it’s built on lust, denial, and secrets?

Quickies and Goodbyes is a dark, emotionally charged BL romance that dives into the messy realities of desire, identity, and heartbreak.

“Even if your blood didn’t flow through my veins from our binding,” he began, his voice low and throaty as if his touch ignited something in him too. He licked his lip and her gaze tracked the movement. “Even if I weren’t of alpha blood with a powerful wolf…” His face lowered until he was only a hairsbreadth away from kissing her. “I would still be able to hear your heart from across the room and know your words are dripping with lies.”
Isla gasped and yanked away from his touch. “I’m not lying!” she yelled in desperation.
The Mate Killer sighed and shook his head again. “It doesn’t matter nonetheless.”
He turned away, the towel around his waist hanging precariously low.
“What doesn’t matter?” she asked, following after him. “Just let me go.”
“I can’t,” he said, digging through a bag of clothes.
“You can’t or you won’t?”
“Either. It’s all semantics.”
“Why?!”
“Because I’ve made my decision.”
“What decision?”
“That you’re mine,” he said, his back still turned.


Prince Sylvan of Eredhal, the Mate Killer, the man who threatens to kill her mother and destroy her kingdom. One decision to take matters into her own hands leads Princess Isla of Tridea straight into the enemy's encampment. With dagger in hand, she is ready to kill the sleeping Prince herself... Until large fingers wrap around her wrist, stopping her plan cold and sparking a connection that will lead two enemies even further into ruin. Hidden identities, a seemingly never-ending war, a man who can't take a mate, a woman who refuses to accept love from a monster, magic that cannot be controlled and a secret that threatens to tear all of existence apart... And it all hinges on them.

“An Omega,” the first Alpha said, his deep voice laced with authority. He took a step forward, and Kai instinctively backed away.

“No,” Kai whispered, shaking his head. His voice wavered, betraying his fear. “I-I don’t belong to anyone.”

The wild-looking Alpha snorted, crossing his arms. “You’re in neutral territory, little Omega. That’s a bold move for someone unclaimed. Did you really think no one would notice?”

Kai swallowed hard. “I didn’t mean to—”

“You don’t need to explain yourself,” the third Alpha interrupted, his voice smooth and soothing. He tilted his head, studying Kai intently. “But you can’t deny it, can you? You feel it, just like we do.”

“Feel what?” Kai asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

The first Alpha stepped closer, his gaze never leaving Kai’s. “The bond.”

Kai’s heart pounded in his chest. The air between them was electric, charged with an energy he didn’t understand but couldn’t ignore.

“No,” he said again, his voice shaking. “I don’t want this. I don’t want any of you!”

He turned to run, but the wild Alpha was faster. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Kai, blocking his path.

“Not so fast, sweetheart,” he said with a dangerous grin. “You can’t run from fate.”

She didn’t think. She didn’t care.
Mara shoved him against the cave wall, her fingers clawing at his torn shirt, ripping it away to reveal the hard planes of his chest, scarred and glistening with sweat.
His growl vibrated against her mouth as he spun her, pinning her beneath him on the cold stone floor.
His hands gripped her thighs, bruising in their intensity, as he drove his rock hard cock into her, their pace quickening, desperate, and needy until the world narrowed to the heat.
They lay there, breathless, the cave’s silence broken only by their ragged breathing.
But the desert night held its secrets, and somewhere beyond the cave, a faint, ominous hum stirred the air—a reminder that their fight was far from over.


Mara Kane—battle-hardened, relentless, and haunted by her brother’s mysterious death—hunts a monster. Her target is Silas Varkis, a centuries-old brooding vampire, hiding as a mechanic in the dying desert town.
Their first meeting is a brutal collision of steel and fang… until a blood cult crashes the fight, forcing hunter and hunted into a fragile truce.
Bound by danger and smoldering desire, Mara and Silas are thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Crimson Veil.
As they race across arid landscapes and through perilous secrets, their enemies multiply—and so do the stakes.
As the cult closes in and ancient evil awakens, Mara and Silas must face the darkness within and between them.
Love blooms where blood is spilled, and redemption comes at a brutal cost.

"Everyone out," I commanded through gritted teeth. "Now."
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.
"OUT!" I snarled with enough force that both women backed toward the door.
Once feared by Shadow Organization that drugged me to replicate my abilities into a more controllable version, I had escaped my restraints and detonated their entire facility, ready to die alongside my captors.
Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."
The bitter truth? I've been reborn into the body of an overweight, weak, and supposedly dim-witted high school girl. Her life is filled with bullies and tormentors who've made her existence miserable.
But they have no idea who they're dealing with now.
I didn't survive as the world's deadliest assassin by allowing anyone to push me around. And I certainly won't start now.

✨ She entered his world for an assignment… and became his obsession.

Yet the moment he saw her innocence collide with her quiet strength… she became his obsession.

Now the man feared across the underworld won’t stop until she’s his.
Her resistance only fuels him. His enemies circle closer. And the line between fear and desire blurs until she’s trapped in a dangerous game of shadows, secrets, and burning temptation.

"I, Alpha Connor Tomson, reject you, Elara Silvius, as-" he stops, and a wicked smile forms on his full lips, " I won't reject you. You'll carry around the bond and get to suffer with it. It is payback for what your mother did to my sister," He sneers.

"Cora!" Kaden, the love of my life calls my name in trembling and fear.

"Execute them." I heard the general beta say while looking at my father who was on his knees with my mum.

"For the practice of dark magic and the help given by your kind to demons, you and all accomplices are ruled out for death by the general Alpha's Command." The Alpha's Beta with blue eyes says as he carries the aura of the general alpha shooting them with the rest rogues and I could see witches poisoned bullets piercing through their skins like they were wild creatures.

I screamed as Lightning strikes through the air creating a powerful air wind and still, this beast of a Beta dared to look at me.

"This is forbidden," Grayson says softly, stepping back. "You're a princess and I'm a knight," he continues, voice strained with a hint of regret.

"Before that...you were once my best friend and first love," I whisper, stepping closer. I reached out gently, my hands trembling as I lift his face to meet my gaze.

"It's all in the past," His jaw tightens, eyes shutting briefly, then slowly opening to reveal a flicker of pain buried beneath his composure.

"Is it?" I press softly, leaning in closer.

He says nothing for a long moment, then releases a deep shaky breath. "You're one person I desire the most, yet it's forbidden." He admits.

I stroke his jawline softly, my thumbs softly brushing his cheeks. "I still don't care. I want you regardless of what anyone says."

Ethan interposed his finger on her lips and gently silenced her. "Shh, babygirl," he cooed, "It's alright. I am here now." And without warning, he strode over to his desk and, in one fluid motion, bent Ava over it.
He lifted the exquisite gown, exposing her lissome frame and revealing her slender legs. With a primal instinct, he used his teeth to rip off her panties, relishing the sound of the fabric tearing. Her scent, a mix of jasmine and musk, was alluring, and he could feel his arousal growing with each passing moment.
He traced back up her spine with his lips, teasing her with light feathery kisses. With one hand, he reached down between her legs, caressing her clitoris, his fingers moving in slow, circular motions that made her lose herself. The way she responded to his touch was electric, and it made him crave her even more.
Will they continue their secret affair after a family member threatens to expose them? What happens if Ava's fiancé and Ethan's wife find out?
What will Ethan do when both his wife and mistress discover that they are pregnant?
Is he the father?

He left her on the streets. His brother-in-law picked her up… and made her his wife.
On the day her ex, Mark, married the wealthy socialite Bella, Elena was thrown out with nothing but the clothes on her back—humiliated, broken, and utterly alone.
Until Eric Thompson appeared.
Bella’s older brother. Mark’s powerful brother-in-law. And the most feared Alpha in the city.
He offered her a hand when no one else would. Then, he offered her a deal:
A marriage in name only. A shield against her past. A chance to rebuild.
Elena accepted, expecting a cold arrangement between strangers. But behind closed doors, Eric’s carefully guarded control unraveled—and so did hers. Their chemistry was explosive, their nights intense, and the lines between business and pleasure blurred beyond recognition.
He was the one man she could never have… and the only one she couldn’t resist.
But when Mark realizes what he truly lost, and Bella discovers the secret behind her brother’s bride, Elena must decide:
Is this just a contract?
Or is this the love she was always meant to fight for?

Seren Vale has spent a lifetime concealing the forbidden magic that was never meant for her. But when this power blazes to life without warning, the kingdom brands her the Chosen One of a centuries-old prophecy—destined to slay the Shadow Prince, the terror who haunts every realm.
Her desperate escape leads her straight into the clutches of the very monster she’s sworn to destroy. Kaelith, cursed by shadows that gnaw at his soul each night, feared by all… yet instead of striking her down, he saves her.
Bound by an unbreakable, unexplainable power, Seren becomes the only thing standing between Kaelith and the curse that’s slowly devouring him. As fate weaves their lives into a tangled web, she’s forced to confront a truth more terrifying than any prophecy:
The deadliest danger isn’t the destiny that demands she kill him—it’s the forbidden, blazing bond that’s growing between them, threatening to burn down everything they know.

"You're so damn sexy, Rae," he growled, his voice a low, heated rasp against her ear.
His eyes drank in her bare body with wild, possessive hunger before his lips descended to her breasts, claiming them with slow, deep kisses. "Lush... and fully mine."Rae moaned softly, her breath hitching as his mouth devoured her with a feral need.
His large, calloused hands—warm and rough like a true Alpha wolf—gripped her waist as he licked, sucked, and bit like a starving beast feasting on forbidden fruit.
"Mine..." A kiss to her inner thigh.
"Mine..." A growl from his throat.
"Always... fucking mine."

Hell can't hold him. Demons can't stop him. Gods don't scare him. And love?
He doesn't believe in it.
Jason is the Millennium Wolf Prince—the most feared, obeyed, and untouchable Alpha in a supernatural academy crawling with vampires, witches, fae, and beasts. No one dares defy him. No one dares look him in the eye.
Rae is just the new girl. Quiet. Overlooked. Unclaimed.
What no one knows—including Rae herself—is that she’s the last living mermaid, born of demon blood and ancient magic, with a destiny tied to destruction.
Jason has two rules:
Rule #1: Don’t mess with him.
Rule #2: See rule number one.

"I need to marry you."
He laughed. "Marry me? You're out of your mind."
"Probably," I said calmly. "But I don't have another choice."
His smile turned dangerous. "Then pick someone else. I am Luca Marino... The Monster."
I met his eyes. "That's exactly why I picked you."
My father died, leaving me a shattered empire and a death sentence. To save my family, I offered myself to the one man powerful enough to protect us. Luca Marino. The Mafia king everyone fears. Our marriage is a contract, not a love story. Power for him. Protection for me. But Luca doesn't play fair. He kisses like a threat and touches like a promise. And every time I think I've figured him out, he ruins me all over again. I'm playing a dangerous game. And I'm falling for the most dangerous man alive.

An alien invasion. A desperate bargain. A love that defies the stars.

In a world ravaged by an unstoppable alien force, Aeliana’s small town has remained untouched—until now. As destruction closes in, her family makes an impossible choice to survive: they offer her as a slave to the alien king. Expecting to endure a lifetime of torment at the hands of the ruthless warlord, Aeliana is taken from Earth, her future a dark and terrifying unknown.

But when she meets the enigmatic King Tharx, her fate shifts in ways she never imagined. Cold and distant, yet fiercely protective, Tharx spares Aeliana from the cruelty of his empire. As a fragile peace forms between them, Aeliana realizes that beneath his ruthless exterior lies a man haunted by his own demons—and perhaps something more.

Thrown into a world of treacherous politics, deadly alliances, and interstellar war, Aeliana must navigate the alien court where she is seen as nothing more than a human weakness.

"That was incredible, as always," Haley said with a seductive tone "No man has ever made me come as you do,"
Derek responded with a low growl "You're making me want to make love to you again..."
My hands shook through my anger. It seemed as though they both knew I was standing outside the door, and just needed to brag about their sexual exploits I hadn't known about.
"So when are you going to tell Alyssa about us?" Haley asked.
"Soon," Derek replied "Once the wedding is official, Alyssa and I can begin the process of making a child, once my heir is born then Alyssa will have fulfilled her use to me," he paused "You and I can raise the child as our own, our own little family."
"The very idea of you having to make a child with Alyssa makes me so…" she paused. "Jealous."
As a human, I was told that the mate relationship among werewolves is considered divine and undeniable.

“Mated? To me?” She knew her mouth was hanging open in shock. Darting a glance across the room, she saw Kane staring at her blandly, his hands behind his back. If her expression offended him, he didn’t show it. She looked at her father, blinking to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. “But... What about Bryan?”
“I’m aware you’ve had your eye on him, but this is for the good of the pack. We need strong alliances so that we can guard against the human threat. And, allied packs allow access between territories and increase the area in which we have to roam.” He stopped speaking and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “I know this is a surprise, but don’t worry. Kane is a good man. He’ll make you a fine mate.”

“Daphne…”

My heart skipped a beat as he mentioned my name. But I didn't say anything or turn around. I bit my lower lip, waiting for him to complete his statement… or sweet confession?

“I want you to know that—”

“Lennon, we were looking for you all over the place!”

I turned around to face the familiar female voice that had the nerve to interrupt my private time with Lennon. “Alaine?”

"Hello, Daphne." She smiled at me without appearing surprised but with an expression of disapproval. "Have you heard the whole truth from him yet?"

"What truth?" I asked with a frown.

Alaine looked over at Lennon, who had moved to stand beside her. He even put his arm around her waist.

"Wait a minute, what in the world is going on?" I clenched my teeth, seeing them together.

"Alaine is my mate," Lennon declared, and kissed Alaine on the lips.

As a werewolf, you constantly fantasize about meeting your mate. Until you've experienced it firsthand, you can never really understand it.
