“I am here to announce my engagement to Selena, daughter of Alpha Luthor.”
The words struck like sharp blades.
Luara felt her legs give way. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out. The hall spun, everything around her became blurry — only the sound of those words echoing, cutting, bleeding.
“He can't! He's ours! OURS!” Luara’s wolf, Nyssara, roared in despair.
But Luara could only stand there — frozen, shattered, alone.
“I, Luara Silvares…”
The growl came before she could finish. Low. Threatening. It tore through Alpha Kade’s chest. He took a step forward, his dark eyes flashing with anger and desperation.
“…I reject you, Alpha Kade, as my mate.”
Once, fate had given her a perfect life — until her fated mate, Alpha Kade, chose another Selena. Humiliated and heartbroken, Luara fled, her pride and faith in ruins. When Gamma Rayder entered her life, he offered her a second bond — a chance to heal. For a moment, it felt like salvation… until his betrayal shattered her again.
Twice abandoned. Twice destroyed. Luara begged the Moon Goddess to let her die.
But the Goddess had other plans. Tired of seeing sacred bonds turned to ashes, she refused Luara’s death — and instead granted her a gift more dangerous than any curse: a second chance.
There was an agreement between packs — a marriage between Alpha Kade and Selena, lasting two years, in exchange for territory, resources, and warriors.
A political pact. A planned sacrifice.
Armed with memory, fury, and a defiant spirit, Luara will not bow to fate again.
Will she forgive, seek revenge, or risk everything by loving once more? Because when fate falters, only a defiant Luna decides her path.

Have you ever wondered how your life will be when everything you know just changes and the person you used to be changed in a way that makes you very scared even afraid of yourself?

She wasn't a saint, not a good person, and made a lot of wrong choices in life. Her choices led her to a place that made her get enlightened and review herself for the better.

When she wanted to end it all and make it up to those people that she wronged, fate had something entirely different from what she had imagined.
All it took was a bite and her life was changed forever.

He lost everything at the hands of the greedy people in his pack. He vowed to get his revenge and pay them back one hundred-fold. He fulfilled that vow, he got what he wanted but never did he think that he will be cursed to be one without a mate even in his late thirties.

He lost all his hope and lived for the sake of the pack that was with him when he was at his lowest. Being a rogue king, having a lot of enemies at his back, he knew that he shouldn't fall.

Living in a dark world with no hope of light and pink bubbles, all it took was a bold move from her and he knew that very second that he found her.

Bold, defiant, daring, and above all confident. What more could a scarred rogue Alpha like him ask for?

His Venus!!!

Marcella Vale's family was slaughtered, and the murder weapon bore Lorenzo De Luca's crest, the serpent-and-cross mark of Sicily's most feared mafia don. When she's forced into marriage with him, she goes willingly, a knife hidden in her wedding bouquet and murder in her heart.

Lorenzo De Luca sees his new bride's hatred and finds it intoxicating. In a world of calculated lies, her fury is honest, raw, and he wants to twist it into something else entirely. He circles her like a predator, touching her when she least expects it, almost-kissing her until she trembles, whispering dark promises against her skin. He knows she wants to kill him. He's determined to make her want him more.

But Marcella is falling for the man she came to destroy, and it's tearing her apart. Every touch weakens her resolve. Every stolen moment makes her question the evidence. And when she discovers he might not be her family's killer, the real monster emerges from the shadows, someone who orchestrated their marriage as the ultimate weapon.

Now the vengeful bride and her mafia king must play the most dangerous game of all: pretending to be in love while hunting the traitor in their midst. But the line between pretense and reality is blurring, and in their world, love is the deadliest weapon of all.

Until her ninth birthday, Iris lived a charmed life—until the Tyrant Zavan shattered it. She watched in horror as his Lycan forces slaughtered her entire pack. To her worst terror, the brutal Lycan King recognized her as his fated mate.
Years later, hatred still burns in Iris’s heart. A failed escape throws her back into Zavan’s path—and gives her a chance at revenge. She drives a blade into his chest… only to scream as the same pain tears through her own body. Bound by a mate bond that links their lives and their pain, Iris now faces an agonizing truth: to hurt him is to destroy herself.

Until the most ruthless lycan king found her and took her to his palace.

If the First Apocalypse Doesn't Kill Them All, Try Another.

The most brilliant mind in a thousand years has been tortured and twisted by human cruelty. His solution:

Burn the world down and start from scratch.

Almost no one can stop him. A single obstacle stands in his way.

He must destroy the BrainTrust and its medical researcher extraordinaire, Dr. Dash.

With millions dying, nuclear war in the offing, and the BrainTrust under siege, the fight for the very soul of humanity hinges on a last desperate question:

Who remains to Defy the Darkness?

——————————

This is a long book—450 pages!

If you like Michael Crichton, or Robert Heinlein, or even the TV show “The Last Ship”, welcome to the BrainTrust.

NOTE: While this saga takes place in the BrainTrust universe with some returning characters, it picks up over a year after the other books and does stand alone. No prior experience necessary.

She lost her mother to him. Then her father. Then her crown.

Then the night came when she lost everything else.

Valdris is not a man who waits. He has fought the same war for three hundred years, buried generals, toppled kingdoms, and never once blinked. He takes what he needs and he does not apologise for it.

He needed a witch queen.

He did not expect her

But something far older than their war is moving through the south, and it is not stopping. It does not negotiate. It does not retreat. It has been feeding on the earth itself for centuries — slowly, quietly, the way a fire feeds on a house before anyone smells the smoke.

Malachar the Demon Monarch has been patient for three hundred years.

He isn't anymore.

Dragon fire won't touch him. Armies won't slow him. Every wall between him and what he wants has already begun to crack — and he knows it. The only question left is whether the two people who can stop him will destroy each other first.

A prisoner who has every reason to let the world fall.

A king who has never once asked for help.

And a demon lord who is already inside the walls.

Some enemies you can fight.

Some you were always meant to face together.

The hard part is surviving long enough to figure out which is which.

She looked up at him, saw the smile on his face, and her heart skipped. Again. She felt a tightness in her chest that traveled to her stomach and pooled there. His lips- she wanted to kiss him. Badly.

Was it appropriate?

“I want to kiss you. Is that okay?” Michal took her thoughts.

“Yes, please.”

He placed his hand under her chin and drew her close, his face hovering inches over hers.
“I wanted to kiss you yesterday when you hugged me. I wanted to kiss you when you showed off that dress at the store when you teased me and tried to get me all bothered. I wanted to kiss the smirk off your mouth and make you moan my name instead.

Heck, I wanted to kiss you when you told me about your little friend. Show you just how much pleasure I can give you. More than he can.”


Being over eighteen means you are free to do almost anything. For Katya, the daughter of Michal- a Russian millionaire, the reality is far from it.
Katya is a nineteen-year-old college student who lives with her dad and governess. Her father, overprotective and stubborn has certain rules. She is not allowed to visit other places apart from school, she must not leave the mansion grounds alone and she must never set foot in Russia. After a school event goes wrong, an unspoken rule is added. She is not to speak a word about her mother.
One month before her twentieth birthday, she decides to follow her father on one of his frequent trips to Russia. However, her plan is foiled and instead of getting a pre-birthday wish granted, she gets a bodyguard instead. A poker-faced, non-bulging, decidedly intrusive man who is determined to take his job seriously.

Michal detests his job, especially because it involves taking care of somebody who should be able to take care of herself. He is eager to get the job done and return. Although he knows that he cannot leave until he finds a way to make her come with him- as unpleasant as the task was. He stages a fake kidnap and waits for his plan to fall into motion. It does, and he finds out that his job is going to be easier than expected. In a moment of weakness, after he "rescues" her, he finds out that she desires to visit Russia.

What happens when Katya finds herself trapped in a place she thought was going to be the beginning of her freedom? What happens when Michal realizes that he cannot be the ruthless son his father wants him to be without risking his heart?
