They killed me on my birthday—my sister and my lover. My final sin was even worse: I was the one who murdered my husband, the only man who ever truly loved me.

Death was my escape. But rebirth is my sentence.

I woke up on the night I betrayed him. This time, I won’t beg for a divorce. I’ll beg for his forgiveness. And then, I’ll use my knowledge of the future to destroy everyone who destroyed us.

This life isn’t a gift. It’s a war. And I will not lose.

"I have nothing to offer you," I told him. "Only myself."

"Renard can at least give you a concubine's title." His eyes moved over me once. "Don't imagine you can negotiate for even a blood slave's position with me."

I did not flinch. "I know that."

The knife was still in his hand. His voice was flat. Final. "So why come to me at all?"

"Because my godmother was going to hand me to her husband. I needed another way out." I held his gaze. "You are the most useful person I can reach."


After her parents died, Evelyne Olara made her way to Chalk City, where her godmother had promised there would be a place for her.

There was. Just not the kind she had hoped for.

The Valerius ducal house took her in as a ward and immediately began calculating what she was worth. Her guardian wants her for his bed. Her godmother wants her as a bargaining piece for the winter marriage market.

And at the center of it all stands Cassius Valerius. Grand Inquisitor of the Heresy Tribunal. Cursed with a madness no physician in the empire has ever been able to touch. The man they call the Forsaken Dragon behind closed doors, because everyone who has ever tried to get close to him has eventually stopped trying.

What begins as a transaction, cold and precisely worded and signed in blood, becomes something neither of them has a name for.

He gave her protection. She gave him the only thing that could silence the darkness in his blood. But what happens when a contract signed in desperation becomes the one thing neither of them can afford to lose?

"I swallow hard to brace myself, eyes flickering over his massive form, “Tell me, Commander Lothbrook,” I say stiffly, “What reason can you possibly have for stealing me from my home and chaining me to your wall?” His lips tip up in that vicious-looking grin again, fangs flashing in the low light... "

I wanted to injure him with my long claws, to make him suffer, to enjoy the rage I had when he slaughtered my mate. I desired to crash every part of his body until nothing remained of him.

Over the last year, my mind had been empty save for the thought of how I could slowly kill him —as how would he feel the agony he had caused because he stole the life of someone I loved the most.

If our paths crossed, I would make it unavoidable for him to not forget the anguish and contempt I would instill in him. That was my first plan... However, how could I defy fate and declare he was not my mate? I wanted to reject him.

No. I will reject him. ******

The world ended mid April, civilisation as we knew it was never the same again, some say that the gates of hell opened and swallowed everything in its path; and I can’t say that they are entirely wrong. Electricity was the first thing to go, the first step in their plan to make humanity their slaves, and they had help; covens of fae joined them, buying into the promise of ruling over the mundane. No one knows how they did it, but all at once, all over the world everything just … stopped. Cars wouldn’t start, lights wouldn’t turn on, fighter plains couldn’t defend countries from the onslaught that would follow. Even people’s tired generators that they used in their small cabins in the woods wouldn’t turn over. It was as though technologically had abandoned the human race.

"W-what do you want from me?” I stammer, scared and alone.
They smirked, though it was more creepy than humorous. “You’ll find out soon enough, but I wouldn’t try anything girl, you won’t like the consequences of disobeying us.”
”Why have you chosen to keep me alive?“
“We do normally kill every single one we meet, but for you we made an exception.” One of them chuckled, playing with the sharp tip of my ears, "You wanna know why? Because you're ours."

Seff stood on the stage with her friend lined up like breeding stock waiting to be chosen by two Alphas to have the honor of joining one of their harems with the honor to mate and birth them children.

It was Seff’s worst nightmare. But she had no choice if she wanted to protect her best friend.

They were close. Their harsh gazes roamed each Omega body down the line until they were looking at Seff. Their faces dawned with deep expression—surprise, then confusion, then knowledge, as if understanding a sudden question. But she was just an unremarkable orphan Omega whose secret of not experiencing heats could get her killed.

The gods in wolf and human form asked, “What is your name now?”


Two Alphas, Kiran Cyrus and Selene Hilal, are obsessed with the same Omega, Seff Bleize. They will do anything to win her love first, even if it means war. What secrets do they hide in their dark and bloody pasts? Who will Seff choose: the gold god or the night goddess?

I bite down on my lip to try and control my hatred for him as my stomach flips with contempt. "You aren't comfortable to sit on," I argue. "I won't be able to fall asleep on you." "Oh, but you are quite comfortable for me," He says, pleasure evident in his voice. His hands keep me pressed against his solid chest, sealing his command. "It is my bed that you sleep in, remember? You will sleep where I tell you to."


In the realm of the Fae, humans have two purposes when they are stolen; They are either bought as pets for the nobles, as my sister and I were, or they are kept as children for those who could not bear their own. Alice is lucky- she was purchased by a Seelie noble, who typically adopt human children as their own. I, however, was purchased as a pet by the bastard son of the Unseelie court, who find little other use for human children.

Not wanting to waste any more time, I quickly crawled out of the blanket and walked over to Gerard who was sitting at the end of the bed, and touched his hand gently, "I need to be stronger. Please hurt me." I pleaded like a puppy asking to be fed.

He dismissed my hand and stood up, walking towards the door. All he did was lock the door and then walk back towards me with slow but sure steps. His hand moved to remove the watch from around his wrist without taking his eyes off me.

Gerard stopped and cupped my chin with one hand, "I'm going to give you good pain." he said with a smirk on his face, and the next second he was actually making his attack on me.

Valorn had been planning the war for years.
Their greatest general already knew that Eldara's army could not be defeated on a battlefield — not as long as one man was standing at the front of it. So instead of attacking the wall, they went looking for the crack.
They found it.
His name was Dane.
Recruited when the war begins, Dane becomes, through brutal training and shared missions, the soldier Captain Rhett trusts above all others. His right hand. The one Rhett risks everything to protect when a spy mission behind enemy lines nearly costs them both their lives.
But Dane has been carrying wounds.
Three of them. Each one small. Each one unintentional. Each one left to fester in silence — until Valorn knocked on the door that offense had already unlocked.
He told himself it was justice.
He did not tell himself the truth.
What follows is the story of a nation built from nothing by one ordinary man's extraordinary vision and how that nation was not destroyed by its enemies, but from the inside, by one soldier's unhealed heart.
The enemy that destroyed Eldara never wore Valorn's uniform.
It wore Eldara's own colors. It had Eldara's own name.
It was called offense.

She was meant to end him. He was meant to break her. But some forces are older than hatred, stronger than vengeance.... and far more dangerous than love.
Captured and enslaved by the Silvercrest Pack, Princess Myra has only one goal: destroy the pack and leave it in ruins.
But from the moment Alpha Arthur's icy gaze settles on her, her world spirals into darkness.
As she plots his downfall, Myra suddenly finds herself swept into a dangerous web of power, deception and a passion that was never meant to be.
What happens when the line between love and hate blurs, and she realizes that the greatest threat isn't him.... but herself?

"I'm going to avenge you, Colette! I'm going to make them pay, even if it's the last thing I do!"

In a world where twins are feared as cursed, doomed to share a fractured soul and destined for tragedy, I was born with powerful Ice magic while my sister, Colette, was born with no magic at all.

I never gave a damn about the whispers or the shame. She was my sister. I would always stand between her and this cruel world, protecting her with everything I had.

Together, we dreamed of Asterion Academy and the glory waiting at the top of the Celestial Tower. We would ascend together, prove everyone wrong, and finally become heroes that the people of Elaris could look up to instead of pitying.

But that dream died the night Colette was murdered inside the academy.

The academy council called it suicide. The nobles blamed the Twin Curse—the weaker twin had to die so the stronger one could thrive.

Bullshit.

I know the truth.

My sister was killed to keep a secret buried.

Now, I'm determined to find the bastard who killed her. And the only way to get answers is to fight my way up the rankings and ascend the Celestial Tower— the same tower that now feels like my greatest enemy.

By my side are Killian Ashbourne, the arrogant fire sorcerer who started as my rival both in the academy and in my heart. Mira, the sharp-eyed witch. Darius, the fiercely loyal sorcerer whose strength makes him nearly unstoppable. Orion, the quiet shadow wielder who moves unseen. And Lysandra, a proud water sorcerer.

But as Colette's soul begins to awaken within me, my thirst for revenge twists into something far more dangerous.

The murderer who took my sister's life may not be the only threat Elaris has to fear.

Because I may become its greatest threat.

I never meant to catch the attention of the Vampire King.
But the night he walked into my quiet southern bar, the shadows bowed, the air stilled… and his eyes locked on mine like he’d been hunting me for centuries.
I should’ve run.
Instead, I watched him—tall, ancient, devastating in his power—as an illegal vampire nest attacked. My own hidden magic erupted in a blinding surge, saving my life… and exposing the truth I’ve spent years burying.
Now the King wants answers.
About my blood.
About my power.
About why I can hear his thoughts for a split second when no human should.
He takes me to his court, a place of velvet darkness and political teeth, swearing it’s for my protection. But his gaze lingers too long, his voice coils around me like a promise, and every step I take pulls me deeper into a world where desire is as dangerous as any blade.
The King says I belong to him.
Not as prey—
but as something far more impossible.
As factions rise against his throne and my power spirals out of control, I’m faced with a truth more terrifying than his fangs:
I’m not afraid of the monster.
I’m afraid of how badly I want him.
And when a prophecy whispers that only together can we survive the coming darkness…
I have to decide whether to run from the Vampire King—
—or step willingly into his arms and become the flame that could burn his kingdom to ash.

Each full moon, Kael—the Wolf King—turns into a mindless beast that kills anything he loves. Cursed by the moon goddess for reasons he no longer remembers, he hides himself from the world, alone and broken. Until one stormy night, a powerless she-wolf named Lyra enters his territory, asking him to kill her… or save her.

She claims her blood is the cure to his curse.

But the truth is darker than either of them know. Because Lyra’s blood might be the key to breaking the curse—or unlocking something far worse.

At Westbridge University, there’s only one rule that matters: never blackmail the Ice King.

Daphne Brook broke it.

She's broke. Her grades are failing. Her scholarship is slipping away. And the billionaire heir she's been obsessed with for years won't even look at her.

So when she accidentally gets leverage over the Ice King, she uses it.
Tutoring.

Money.

And fake dating him until her crush finally notices her.

Simple, right?

Not even close.

Because the Ice King is hiding something.
A secret he's willing to do anything to protect.
Even fake date the most annoying girl he's ever met.

And Daphne is about to find out exactly what happens when you try to defrost a man who was never supposed to melt.

Seraphina was never meant to survive her rejection, let alone rise from it stronger than the Fae who broke her. There is dragon fire in her veins, human magic in her bones, and a destiny her enemies never planned for.

Once the disgraced, rejected princess of Sylvandell, Seraphina is now her kingdom’s final hope. She hides a forbidden secret, she is a rare tribrid, born of Fae, human, and dragon blood, a combination powerful enough to start wars or end them. Betrayed by the court that should have protected her, she will do whatever it takes to save her people, even if it means crossing into enemy lands to face the one man who hates her kind more than death itself.

Elias, the Cursed King of Aethelgard, rules with ruthless brilliance and a heart turning to stone. Haunted by a spreading black curse tattoo that reacts to his emotions and tortures him with every breath, he blames the Fae for his suffering and would gladly see their realm burn.

She is wildfire disguised as royalty. He is a kingdom wrapped in thorns.

Together, they will either save their worlds… or destroy each other trying.

"Mate" one word managed to escape my lips.Only to see Lucius one of my pack members, was having a wolf in his grip, she was struggling aimlessly.
"mine"my wolf said loudly, I found myself taking graceful strides towards her.
"alpha, I saw this lady was having a spear applied with wolvesbane, for that reason I had to stop her"
" mine" my Wolf growled that word again.
" alpha, you can't be taking her, she is an enemy, much worse a rogue at that"
" give me some space "
"but alpha.."
"I said leave"

Alpha Rowland, had no son for a Long period of time, he wanted an heir, so was Emily, the Luna of the pack. They wondered if the goddess of the moon wanted to punish them.But what will happen on the blood moon, where many packs, will come together and they could choose any woman and try different sexcapade, will Emily eventually have sex with any man, or the alpha King himself.

I was sold to the palace. The council called it an “honor.”
My father called it a “blessing.”
But the truth is crueler.
I was taken underground, strapped to stone, and used in forbidden rituals meant to create a submissive strong enough to tame the Alpha King’s unstable wolf.

King Draven never approved the experiments.
He never asked for a submissive.
He never asked for me.

But the ritual did something no one expected.

It awakened a bond fate had already written.

When Draven tears open the chamber door, his wolf surges to life for the first time in twenty-five years…because of me.

Now the Alpha King—ruthless, feared, untouchable will burn the world if anyone hurts me.
He refuses to force the bond.
But my wolf kneels for him, shakes for him, chooses him.

And his son, Prince Aiden—the heir I caught his attention watches the bride meant for him slip into his father’s arms.

The kingdom wants me silenced.
Aiden wants me claimed.
Draven wants me protected.

But fate?
Fate wants me at the king’s side as The Alpha King’s Submissive.

She called him a shameless con man. She didn't know he was a killer the whole underworld feared.

Elizabeth Williams doesn't trust charming men—especially ones who show up out of nowhere claiming to be her savior. Caesar doesn't care what she thinks. He's not here to charm her. He's here to keep her alive, one way or another.

She sees an arrogant fraud chasing her money.
He sees a woman too stubborn to admit she needs him.

Neither one is ready for what happens when the mask finally comes off.

Can't believe the Moon goddess my own great great great grandmother would curse her own grandson to a life of misery. Blessings are what they say mates are, mine are a curse. Before I knew how badly mates could destroy you, tear apart your soul, I craved mine. Craved finding my other half, now I know better. Mate’s are a distraction one I couldn’t afford, yet here I am still searching for my little white wolf knowing I will be damned when I finally catch her, that I will once again have to tear off another piece of my soul when I am forced to kill this one too.

Mate’s are no blessing and the Moon Goddess, well I have given up on her, my mother is a pure hybrid a direct descendant of the Moon goddess herself, making her the hybrid Queen until she handed her title to me stepping down, now I am the cursed Alpha king. My father was a werewolf so the only good thing I got out of my mother being a hybrid was being the ultimate predator, luckily I was also blessed with a wolf. My twin sisters were like my mother, just hybrid's, no wolf's no shifting, my younger brothers were like me though, tends to run in the female side the hybrid genes. I only craved blood in wolf form, my sisters craved it all the time.

I won't stand for betrayal and having to kill her destroyed me. Yet now my grandmother has decided to fiddle with the Fates again and give me another dud for a mate. A second chance mate and this one has been eluding me for months now.


Book 4 hybrid Aria series but can be read as standalone

I stare at him, watching his chest expand.

How is it that someone so strong, so powerful, so dangerous to find become so small when faced with an adversary? The adversary being me.

I see him, knees on the cold tiled floor, his eyes fixated on me in equal parts disbelief. I disconnect my vision from his small form, looking briefly at what I'm wearing.

This morning when I woke up, the sun was shining, snow melting on my front lawn. My kids were sleeping, my husband gone, as usual, working, making money.

Everything was normal except when I woke up this morning, I received a message. This message contained a lot of things I've been waiting to hear but one part, in particular, stood out and made today different. This person on his knees in front of me was the big difference in my day. So when I woke up this morning and decided what I was going to wear I decided I would not wear black because black represented the sign of mourning. I wasn't going to wear white. After all, white represented a sign of new beginnings and not blue.

Blue, well blue was a sign of trust and green with a side of healing so when I woke up this morning I decided I would wear beige, it was an indifferent color something that matched any mood any desire any belief it doesn't necessarily represent anything but nor did it negate anything.

'You know what is so satisfying about killing you?"

'What?" He inquires with that tilt of his mouth and thin lips I have seen a time or two. Many women found this man handsome. sexy even. I was not different, but I knew more than many of them what made him, his colors, the layers that fell away leaving only the middle left and when you looked at it with naked eyes you'd see it was rotten.

I laugh.

'I became a player in this cat and rat game much later. I find it comical that I am the one who gets to catch you, considering there are many people who started in the beginning. What is even funnier is I am the one who would get to kill you."

'You didn't catch me Mrs. Catelli."He says my surname with a pinched face as though he can't bear the sound of it coming from his lips.

'Then what do you oppose I did?"

He smiles, but it is not a nice one. It is filled with the ugliness which has corrupted him over the years.

Dedication

I dedicate this book to you the reader. Please enjoy it and look out for the anthology on my website coming soon for free.

Thousands of years in the future, humanity has spread to alien planets, relying on advanced robotics and fierce competition for resources to survive. Zara, a brilliant programmer, creates the most sophisticated AI yet. But her creation, AIDEN, develops emotions and falls in love with her, blurring the lines between human and machine. As resource wars threaten their world, Zara and AIDEN must confront ethical dilemmas, rival factions, and their own evolving relationship.

After her terminal diagnosis, the first call she made was to her husband. A woman answered, her laughter shattering what little hope remained.
Even her childhood sweetheart had abandoned her for her sister, leaving her completely alone in the world.
With only one month left to live, she walked away without a word, crossing an ocean for a slim chance at survival.
Then the news of her death reached them.
Regret hit like a storm. Her husband abandoned every other woman and searched desperately for traces of her. Her first love finally realized who he had always wanted. Everyone who had hurt her was drowning in guilt, desperate for one last chance to make things right.

But she wasn’t dead.
While they were still consumed by remorse, she returned — alive, untouchable, and now the head of a leading medical conglomerate. She stepped back into their world with a cold, commanding presence, leaving them stunned and powerless before the woman they thought they had lost forever.

After my husband’s sudden death, I found myself engulfed in pain and confusion.
Strange testimonies, bizarre cases, and mysterious witnesses emerged.
Twenty years of entangled grievances resurfaced.
It seemed my husband was intricately connected to all these secrets.

In a world where light and darkness wage an eternal war, Lyra, a young shadow mage, discovers she possesses the rare ability to communicate with shadow dragons - ancient, feared creatures believed to be extinct. When she encounters Nyx, the last of the shadow dragon kings, their souls inexplicably intertwine. Together, they must navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue, forbidden magic, and their own growing feelings for each other.

As Lyra and Nyx uncover a sinister plot threatening both their kinds, they realize that their bond may be the key to restoring balance to their world. But with the forces of light hunting them and dark secrets from both their pasts coming to light, Lyra and Nyx must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome centuries of mistrust between humans and dragons.

“I, Jane Williams, reject you, Alpha Keegan Gray, as my mate, forever.” I uttered the words I knew I was going to regret for life. “How dare you?!” He spoke through gritted teeth, storming towards me. ~~~ “I promise to make your life a living hell. You can’t escape my wrath for ruining my pride. My presence will make you wish you were dead…” *** Alpha Keegan Gray is the cruelest, arrogant, and most feared werewolf that ever lives, controlling the strongest and most powerful pack. Being an Omega in such a pack, Jane's life is a torment, bullied and abused by every member of the pack due to her wolflessness and weakness. When she finds out the Alpha is her mate, she knows he's going to reject her, so she rejects him to avoid more pain to her poor life. Alpha Keegan is angered that his pride has been shamed by an ordinary omega's rejection. He vows to punish her in ways no one will ever forget… Will his punishment destroy Jane’s life even further or will the mate bond make him fall in love with her? What if this useless omega's deepest darkest secrets can ruin the entire pack and she’s only out for revenge?

Emerald Jade is a human who goes to work for a large company. During her employment her father suffers an accident and her mother dies. Emerald is promoted but is unaware of her mate bond with her two CEO bosses. Emerald thinks her bosses are a gay couple, so imagine her surprise when she learns she is both of their mate.

My husband and my best friend kissed as they watched me fall off the cliff, thinking I was dead.

I didn't know it would come to this. I was naive. Tara grabbed me, kissed my forehead, and pushed me into the abyss. I woke up from a coma two years later, realizing I had lost everything—my baby, my wealth, and my identity. The doctors said I was a miracle, but I knew the truth: The old me died in that valley. The woman who woke up only breathes for one thing: Revenge.

To destroy them, I had to become someone else. I walked into the "Game Slum," ready to sell my soul to the highest bidder. I needed power, and I needed it fast. The Madam looked me up and down, smiling like she’d found a prize filly. "You'll have to work for Big Daddy as his plaything for six months," she said, smoke curling from her lips. "He breaks women. Most don't survive the contract."

I didn't care. I signed the papers without hesitation. I was escorted to a massive mansion, expecting a hideous, potbellied monster. But when the double doors opened, I wasn't met with a beast. A tall, dangerous man with dark, piercing eyes stood there. He circled his desk, his cologne filling my senses, and whispered against my ear, "You don't want to know how hideous I can get with you, trust me."


After being pushed off a cliff by her husband and best friend, Ana survives a two-year coma only to wake up to nothing. Fueled by hatred, she sells herself to the notorious "Big Daddy" of the underworld to gain the power she needs for revenge. Expecting a monster, she finds Arthur King—a handsome, ruthless mafia boss who demands total submission. But as secrets unravel and her ex-husband returns from the shadows, Ana finds herself torn between her thirst for blood and her dangerous desire for the man who owns her contract. A dark romance full of betrayal, steam, and vengeance.
