Stephanie's POV:
The man across the desk watched me intensely, and I struggled with the shocking truth—he was destined to be my mate.

This is impossible; I have no desire to be the mate of anyone, especially not Alpha Brock. His reputation for fierceness in battle precedes him, and he surely expects a gentle and obedient Luna his pack, "Shadow Pack". But that won't be me. Not ever.

The scent of bacon, reminiscent of domestic warmth and earthy woods, clung to him and sent a primal urge rippling through me. Emotions clashed — a torrential flood of desire and sheer panic.

Breathing heavily panic surged "CRAP, CRAP, No... I am definitely not the right fit for this company" I clutched my resume and bolted for the stairs, I was not even worried about slipped opportunities.

At twenty-six, Alpha Brock had given up on finding his mate, focusing on self-indulgence. However, everything changed when an unscented woman appeared in his office. Unable to continue his usual ways, Brock's wolf refused to allow him mistreat the bond with this woman. As they both navigate secerts within the pack, Stephanie,grappling with her own challenges, must decide between embracing the mate bond and protecting she-wolves targeted by enemies. The clash between Brock's desire for a submissive luna and Stephanie's wish for equality tests their ability to reconcile differences and submit to the mate bond's pull.

My mind had been frantic throughout out the night. I had done something unforgivable not to mention killing clan blood in the process. Wasn't I supposed to not be able to feel love or to care? Wasn't I supposed to be unfeeling, unnerving? Then why did I save her? I thought I didn't have a heart since the night of my impurification but now, the thought of a vampire and a human falling in love had been pasted on my mind and nothing that I did could pry my thoughts from her beautiful face. I quickly pushed the thoughts away and locked them up in the deepest darkest corner of my mind.

I could still hear her echoing screams, and the image of her pale, terrified face was smeared on the front of my vision. My palms were sweaty, in fact; I had been in a nervous state since last night… I put my hand into my jacket pocket and pulled out the hard rectangular card; it was a student ID card. It had fallen out of her purse when I saved her from her nigh death. Dawn, her name was Dawn. The face on the ID looked much younger than the girl I had saved but I could see the evident resemblance.

One question still troubled my mind though, it was like an ache in my head that wouldn't go away no matter how hard I tried not to think about it; would she love me if she knew what I was, a demon, a monster, a vampire?

I was alone, good! Everyone was out. If I looked any of them in the eye I was sure they'll see the guilt and fear that swirled and billowed in me. The only thing that troubled me more than the fact that I had violated a general clan hunt was the fact that she knew about our existence now, and only God knows how long it will be before the others found out. And killed her along with me.

Like her name, Dawn brings light and love into Kaldars heart, one the young vampire crazes over and knows he cannot live without. But not only is it outlawed for vampires to mate with humans, but it is also a crime punishable by death.
Their romance is bound to stay hidden, but soon enough, it turns dangerous, and Kaldar finds himself in a position that forces him to kill to protect Dawn's life. It seems like the world is only revolving around their hidden love, but new threats arrive at every corner, from wolves to fellow vampires.
His life as a vampire becomes more difficult with every passing day, and he soon learns that he has to choose between his aspiration to figure out who he is as a human, run away with his human lover, or live without her. her.

But on the night of the fairytale wedding, Lauren is found dead.

To bury the scandal, the cruel Lancasters force Anna into her sister’s still-warm, blood-soaked wedding dress and drag her down the aisle. Now, she is bound to a man who despises her very breath, trapped in a gilded mansion where the walls whisper lies and danger lurks in every corner.

"The entire wealthy circle in Seattle knew how much Stella Carlson loved Aaron Malone. People watched the childhood sweethearts grow from inexperience to maturity, finally getting married in a grand wedding ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, despite the alliance between the Carlson and Malone families, the groom ran away. Stella knew that Aaron had rushed to L.A. to take care of his ex-girlfriend, who had attempted suicide.

Unwilling to become the laughingstock of all Seattle, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number of her adversary, her tone almost commanding, "Ethan, come and marry me now. This is your only chance for revenge."

On the other end, Ethan Powers raised an eyebrow as he gripped his phone, staring at the floor littered with cigarette butts. "Did the groom run away?" he asked. "My darling."

Two hours before the apocalypse, my fiancée stole my gray wolf and giant bear and gave them to a rich second-generation, leaving me only a dying ornamental fish.
"Go and wait to die in the apocalypse with your worthless fish!" she laughed triumphantly, thinking she had seized an invincible trump card.
I almost burst out laughing on the spot.
In their past lives, they died too young and had no idea that without absolute power, mutated beasts would only tear their masters apart first! They also didn't know that the golden dragonfish she had discarded as trash was the true ruler of the late apocalypse!
As the crimson rain of radiation fell, I coldly fed the "Sea God" that had begun to emit an eerie glow. Since you're all eager to pave the way with your lives, then I'll gladly accept the ultimate evolutionary law of the apocalypse!

Seven days before the doomsday outbreak, the wild weeds by the road spoke to me: The zombies are coming.
I rushed home, intending to take my fiancée and flee for our lives.
But outside the door, I overheard her plotting with her boss on the sofa, scheming to drain all my wealth.
"He’s just an orphan with no family or connections. No one would care even if he dies."
I didn’t push the door open.
Instead, I quietly cashed out all my assets overnight and built an impenetrable island fortress without delay.
Seven days later, the zombie hordes surrounded the city.
She and her entire family were chased by the monsters, covered in blood and mangled.
They knelt frantically kowtowing and begging for help right outside my explosion-proof gate.
I coldly locked the door tight.
"You were right," I said. "No one really cares if you die. Just go in peace."

In my last life, I was the scapegoat, set off Charlie's deep love for another woman, and finally ended up with a family of miserable end. After rebirth, I decided to let it go, waiting for Peiheng to file for divorce. But the development of the situation is a bit strange, how does a man who barely goes home in my last life come back every once in a while? And worried that I will betray him? "Do you believe that in the near future, you will hate me and want me to disappear?" I asked. "Don't dream." He replied, "We'll torture each other to death." I sighed, as a reborn I know that Charlie will soon meet his true love. Finally, they met, I thought freedom was only one step away from me. But he said, "Who said I want a divorce?" Not only did he not divorce, but he cared more and more about me, even his true love was abandoned!

After ten years of marriage, Hollis Meyer believed she had found an extraordinary husband. Little did she know, he would lead her on a destructive path! Disguised as a marriage, he manipulated her emotions, plotted for her wealth, and even wiped out the entire Meyer family, all for a fleeting moment of true love.

But fate intervened with a meticulously planned murder, sending her back ten years in time! In this new life, she pledged to utterly destroy him, reduce his bloodline to ashes, and curse his lover with endless misfortune.

She vowed to exact a hundredfold revenge on all those who had caused her harm!
And so, her first act after rebirth was to reject the advances of that jerk and resolutely marry her archenemy from her previous life—a prominent tycoon she must not have provoked this time!

She expected their union to be driven by desire rather than affection, but to her surprise, the tycoon showered her with boundless love and devotion after they tied the knot.

“I need you both inside me—now,” I beg, voice breaking as Casper’s tongue lashes my clit and Cassian’s cock throbs against my lips.

Casper pulls back, eyes blazing. “Tell us, Elowen. Fucking say it.”

I grip them harder, stroking in sync. “I get dripping wet just thinking of you—both of you.”

Cassian snarls, thumb smearing my spit-slick lips. “That’s our filthy girl.” He flips me onto hands and knees, trapped between them.


Elowen Hartley, Thornwood Pack Beta’s overlooked daughter, flees abusive ex Drake after he cheats publicly at the bar. Seeking best friend Cindy, she crashes into Cindy’s twin brothers: hot-headed protector Casper and cool racer Cassian—future Alphas who both claim her.

As politics ignite and Elowen’s mysterious heritage awakens hidden power, the twins’ love faces a deadly test: protect her, or shatter everything?

Christian kissed me like sin — hard enough to make me forget why I came back.
When he finally let me go, his thumb brushed my swollen lips. “Tell me, Stella… is this revenge, or do you still crave me too?”
“Careful, brother,” Logan drawled from the doorway, dark eyes sliding over me. “That’s your fiancée’s sister.”
Then Ryder’s voice cut through the tension, cold and devastating.
“You disappeared from my bed three years ago without a word. Now you’re back pretending this house was never yours.”

Officially, I’m the Ashfords’ new nutritionist.
Unofficially, I’m the daughter they thought died in a fire twenty years ago.
I came back to destroy the family that betrayed me.
Instead, I found three dangerous men waiting for me.
Christian — my sister’s fiancé, who touches me like sin and obsession.
Ryder — the man I once loved, now loyal to the family I came to destroy.
Logan — the bastard heir who sees through every lie I tell.

In this house, desire is deadlier than revenge.
And the closer I get to the truth, the more I risk losing myself to the men who could ruin me first.

"Why?" The word came out as a whisper. "Why me?"

The knife was sticking out of my stomach like it belonged there. Blood poured between my fingers as I pressed both hands against the wound.

My legs gave out. The pavement was freezing against my face.

The guy wiped his blade clean, then grabbed my ankles. He was dragging me toward the lake.

"No!" I tried to kick, but my body wouldn't work right. "Please..."

Tyler's gift bag was just within reach and I grabbed it, held on tight. Twenty-three years of never being enough. Of taking scraps and saying thank you.

Then the water hit, and everything went black.

“Is that how your kind teaches you to please us?” A male voice rumbles from the dark as my hands falter on the black satin sheet. Fingers glide up my spine, then curl around my throat, a telltale sting where bruises will be. Far too warm to be human—burning so hot I’m sweating. It’s one of the Thur. Still, I’m unable to make a sound. I’m just as defenseless as I’ve always been when my cheek hits the satin pillow, freeing the sheet from the bed I’ve been trying to make. I should do something, say something… But I won’t.


Deviera spends her nights at The Mid, dancing to pay for her education. Only she doesn’t dance for other humans. No, she entertains the Thur, an invading species that conquered her world years before she was born.
They’ve built a world where humans like Devi cater to their every whim. Entertain. Serve. Obey. She’s used to it. Even with how much larger and stronger Thur are. And she only needs to keep it together until after her final exams anyway. Then, she’ll be eligible to leave the entertainment sector for hospitality, maybe end up in a wealthy Thur house, serving a bonded pack that doesn’t want anything in return.
But when she meets four intriguing Thur males the like of which she’s never seen, they trigger something primal. Suddenly, the intense lust she only suffers from once or twice a year becomes an incessant problem that won’t go away. It makes her crazy for a pack that terrifies her.

“You’re staring at me again,” Jake murmured.

“Maybe because you keep touching me.”

His mouth nearly brushed mine. “Maybe because you like it.”

I hated how badly I did.

Jake Montgomery used to be my secret. Now he’s my stepbrother’s best friend — and living under the same roof again.

After a mysterious accident erased his memories, Jake forgot everything that happened between us that summer. I didn’t.

I remember his hands, his mouth, the promises whispered in the dark — and the blood on the road afterward.

Coming back to Lincoln Heights was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, every look from Jake feels dangerous. Even without his memories, he still watches me like some part of him remembers exactly what we were.

Because some memories were buried for a reason.

And some people were never supposed to fall in love twice.

He roughly pulled her shirt over Aisha’s head, eyes hardening as he watched her chest heave at his touch. He ripped the rest of her clothes from her body until she was nude, then gripped her neck.

"Get on your knees," Imset whispered in her ear, rolling a finger over her lips. She nodded, unable to speak as she lowered before him. His eyes twitched as she put her mouth to him, as if on instinct, or a lack of any more self-control.

"Fuc-" he inhaled, feeling the back of her throat press his tip suddenly. He pressed her head forward, feeling himself falling over the edge of his need. He spilled into her throat, watching her swallow then lick her lips, eyes dilated fully. He couldn't control himself anymore, pulling her up and slamming her into the shower wall.

"Do you want to know what it is to belong to me?" he asked, nipping at the skin of her neck. She nodded violently. She wanted all of it, whatever he would give, whatever it would mean.
