"I know what you are," Scar said, blade still drawn. "The last vessel said that too. Before the end."

Long Chen had survived the Great Merge on one rule: extract, trust no one, keep moving. Then the Dragon Vein Hunter System activated inside him and broke every part of that.

Now the clans want his heart. The ancient sects want his power. And something primordial, patient, and impossibly old is wearing his memories like a second skin, learning his voice, his habits, his people.

The blackouts are getting longer.

And Chen is starting to recognize what he does during them.

Two souls that find each other night, one human the other vampire. After a fateful night, Tessa becomes aware of the things that lurk at night. Not all is what it seems in Falls Hollow.

A romantic, mystical tale of healing, sacrifice, and rediscovery. Set in a landscape where myth still stirs the earth, the story follows those brave enough to restore what was broken. The atmosphere is lyrical and ancient, steeped in fog, stones, and the pulse of forgotten magic.
In Regency England, where powdered wigs, whispered alliances, and ancestral estates shape destinies, Isabelle Greystone is content to remain on the fringes—more scholar than debutante. But when she meets the enigmatic Lucien Fenwick at the Farthingale Ball, something ancient stirs. A memory. A recognition. A bond forged long before their first glance.
Lucien is no ordinary man. An Alpha heir to a hidden bloodline of werewolves, he’s haunted by visions of a woman he vowed to find—even if it took centuries. When fate places Isabelle in his path, the threads of the past tighten, revealing a secret buried beneath generations: the Accord—a magical covenant forged by eight ancient bloodlines to protect the balance between worlds.
But the Accord is breaking.
Together with Isabelle’s cousin Lydia, a seer awakening to her own Fae legacy, and a sea-bound prince tied to the forgotten kings of Dál Riata, they begin a perilous journey to uncover the truth of their origins, unlock sacred stones, and battle a rising darkness led by the immortal and corrupted Duval.
Spanning windswept moors, forgotten ruins, and enchanted dreams, Veilbound weaves real history with myth and romance. It is a story of love lost and found, of ancient magic buried beneath reason, and of souls bound by destiny across lifetimes.
The worlds are merging. The blood remembers.

I'll tear apart whoever hurt her, even if I have to kill half of my army!


Rati POV

Those men have the most disgusting smirk on their faces. One of them rips off my leggings and panties while the others hold me down roughly. I kick at him, but he grabs my damaged ankle, and I scream with desperate tears streaming down my face.

"It's just a taste, Raya. You'll live."
Roman pulled his head back, opening his mouth wide, showing me those sharp fangs. This was real, this was horrifyingly real! Vampires exist, and one was about to feed on me.
Just as Roman was about to sink his fangs into me, Dane emerged from behind a tree, his eyes glowing fiercely, and his body completely naked. He growled so menacingly that it sounded more like an animal than a man.
"Let her go!" Dane barked, approaching the two of us. Roman's hand held my jaw firmly, keeping my head in place as he leaned forward.

He shares a cramped apartment with Marcus, a 34-year-old pit boss who gave him a home after Julian’s devout London family disowned him for coming out five years ago. Their bond, once mentorship, has bloomed into love, confessed over a quiet drink just weeks ago. At The Mirage, Claire, a 28-year-old cocktail server with a venomous edge, blames Marcus for reporting her tip-skimming a year back, which cost her a high-roller lounge gig—and the cash to cover her brother’s medical debt.

On the ice, they’re unstoppable.
Off the ice, they’re a disaster waiting to happen.

They're nothing more than longtime enemies and business rivals. They never imagined themselves working together. Justine needs a husband in order to become pregnant, while Lawrence needs a new bride.

He's doomed... he seems to be in love with his estranged wife!

For centuries, two powerful werewolf packs have been locked in a bitter feud. The Western territories bow to Lucas Blackwood, an Alpha who bends shadows to his will and rules with merciless precision. The Eastern lands follow Elijah Darkhaven, whose fiery magic matches the passion driving his every decision.
"Our magic was never meant to destroy each other," Elijah whispered as their powers intertwined for the first time, shadows and flames dancing together. "It was meant to create something new."
When murdered wolves appear on both sides of their borders, the rival Alphas must form an uneasy alliance to find the true culprit. But as they work together, hatred sparks into a forbidden attraction neither can deny.
Now Lucas and Elijah face an impossible choice. Give in to the mate bond forming between them and risk everything they've built, or deny their feelings and watch their realm fall to an enemy who's been manipulating them both from the shadows.
In a world where tradition is law and pack loyalty is everything, their love could either save Tenebrous Realm or destroy it completely.

"Make me!"

Erin challenged, her eyes flashing with defiance.

Braden's gaze narrowed as he looked down at her, taking in her flushed cheeks and the way her breath came out in soft gasps. He realized he had her pinned beneath him on the bed, and he felt a surge of desire that he couldn't ignore.

Her soft and wet pants filled his eyes and the realization hit him then. With her legs wrapped around him and their lips so close, they both struggled to resist the intense attraction between them.

They had always been rivals, but now they were also caught up in a sensual game that threatened to consume them both.

Julius Stone, the powerful and wealthy chairman of the Stone empire, is desperate to find an heir to take over his business. When he realizes that his son is not up to the task, he turns to his grandson, Braden. However, Braden proves to be just as unsuitable, and Julius decides to take drastic measures.
He enlists Erin, the beautiful daughter of his maid, to compete with Braden for the inheritance. The rivalry between the two young heirs soon turns into a heated sexual tension that they struggle to resist.
As they grow into adults, Braden is consumed by his desire for Erin, despite his vow to put her in her place. Erin, too, is tempted by Braden, even as they continue to compete and challenge each other.
Will they give in to their passion, or will their rivalry keep them apart?

Lovers or Rivals?

I’m the new coach’s daughter, and on my first day, I accidentally discovered the untouchable hockey captain’s career-ending secret.

I hate hockey. It destroyed my brother’s life. But at Western Helms Academy, hockey is a religion, and Ryder Hayes is their god. He’s the arrogant, broad-shouldered captain who thinks the world revolves around him. But I saw what no one else did. I saw the way he gripped his shoulder on the ice. The flash of agonizing pain he hid from the scouts, from his teammates, and most importantly—from my dad.

"Why are you playing with an injured shoulder?" I confronted him in the empty hallway.

His arrogant smirk vanished instantly. The panic in his stormy gray eyes was real. "If you write anything about me being injured, I’ll deny it," he warned, stepping so close I could feel the heat radiating off his body. He told me to stay out of it. He warned me that his rival, Blake, was already trying to destroy him.

But I couldn't look away. And now, I’m caught in the middle of a brutal war on the ice.

He thinks he can intimidate me into silence. But as he corners me in the dark locker room, his chest heaving, I realize keeping his secret might cost me my heart. What is he willing to do to keep my mouth shut?

Enrolling in a new school wasn't really Genevieve's cup of tea. All she wanted was to lay low and complete her high school days, she was a sick werewolf after all. What she didn't expect is to catch the attention of the two most feared boys in the school who just happened to be rivals.

Trying her best to ignore them but a string keeps pulling her to them and they both weren't pleased with the idea of sharing especially when she finds out she was mated to both of them.

When her twin sister runs away on her wedding day, Elinra Cyrus is forced to take her place, to marry the cursed Alpha of the Zarek Pack. But the ceremony goes horribly wrong, binding her not to one… but three powerful hybrid Alphas.

Trapped in a cold land ruled by secrets and moonlight, Elinra must navigate deadly passion, betrayal, and a curse born from forbidden love. As desire and danger intertwine, she discovers that one of the Alphas, the ruthless Kaelrix, might be her true mate… and the key to breaking the curse.

But when betrayal comes from the people she loves most, Elinra must decide, surrender to fate, or rise against it and rewrite her destiny.

Catrina Bernardi thought catching her husband cheating was the worst betrayal she would ever face.

She was wrong.

The real betrayal came when a car accident was orchestrated to kill her unborn baby. It exposed the truth about the man she married, and left her trapped in a nightmare Marco has no intention of ending. He is willing to stalk, threaten, and destroy anyone who helps her escape.

With nowhere left to run, Catrina turns to the last man she should trust, Marco’s most ruthless rival.

Wesley Morano offers her protection under one brutal condition: marry him.

It is meant to be nothing more than a strategic arrangement, a cold alliance to keep her alive and place her beyond Marco’s reach. But Wesley is dangerous in ways Marco never was, controlled, ruthless, and impossible to read. The deeper Catrina is pulled into his empire, the more she realizes that safety comes with a price.

And in Wesley’s world, survival is never free.

At Astoria University, the name Nathaniel Cavill means everything. He’s the heir to an educational empire, a man born with a silver spoon and enough arrogance to fill every lecture hall on campus. But to his grandfather, Nathaniel is just a reckless playboy—and unless he proves he can be "stable," his billion-dollar trust fund stays locked.

Sylvie Belrose is the only thing standing in his way. She’s sharp, relentless, and has been his academic rival since freshman year. She doesn't have a dynasty behind her; she only has her grades and a scholarship she’s worked her life for. She hates everything he stands for, and he lives to see her flustered.

But when a calculated scandal threatens to get Sylvie expelled, her world collapses. That’s when Nathaniel makes his move. He offers her a deal that feels like a pact with the devil:

The Deal: Act as his fake fiancée for six months. The Reward: He gets his fortune; she gets the protection of the Cavill name and keeps her scholarship.

Now, they are forced to share more than just a stage at university galas. Between shared hotel rooms on academic tours and kisses staged for the Board of Directors, the lines are blurring. Sylvie is finding out that Nathaniel’s arrogance is a mask—and Nathaniel is realizing that the girl he’s supposed to hate is the only one he can’t stop thinking about.

They were supposed to be rivals. They were supposed to be faking it. But in a game this dangerous, the first one to fall loses everything.

“Stop.” She breathed against his lips. “Fondling me wasn’t a part of the ‘one kiss’ offer.” She grinned, leaning forward to press a fleeting kiss on his parted lips. A bold move even for her but the look in his eyes made it worth the shift in her priority.

The words to respond were sparse. He’d never had someone melt into his arms so willingly. Nor had a woman ever asked him to stop once the act was under way. He untangled himself from her and watched as she smoothed her hair and skirts, “Am I decent?” she had the gall to ask him.

“A misfortune to mine eyes.” He commented as a silence fell over them.

“It was a pleasure meeting your acquaintance.” Her eyes sparkled mischievously.

“A pity it must be cut short.” He teased, waiting for her to either sink into him or leave so that he may relieve himself.

“If you’ll excuse me,” Mendora had finally caught her breath, recalling Ginger would be on the lookout for her by now so that even if she wanted to stay, it was impossible, “I have been away for too long.”


Mendora Agnus Garrick, a young debutante prone to appallingly unusual notions had found herself doing that which she had sworn off...falling in love and with notorious rake Solaire Gidean Demaris, a man unlikely to consider the prospect of marriage or love.

When Atlas Sinclair, the rebellious heir to a billion-dollar empire, is forced into a corporate marriage to secure his family's business, he expects a meek, easy-to-control partner.

Their arranged engagement is purely strategic—meant to unite two of the most powerful business dynasties. But behind closed doors, their battle for dominance begins. Atlas refuses to be controlled, and Kieran has no intention of playing the obedient fiancé. Sparks fly, tempers clash, and their boardroom battles turn into dangerously intimate encounters.

As the wedding date looms, their rivalry transforms into a high-stakes game of power and seduction. But when betrayals from their past threaten everything, will they fight for their business empires—or for each other?

I was the Omega girl no one wanted. I was abandoned as a baby and even my mate rejected me in front of my entire pack, leaving me hurt and humiliated.
Then came the Peace Summit that only happens once every 70 years and I found out that the moon goddess gave me a second chance. Only, it’s not one mate, but two.
Valen Aibek, the sly King of the North, and Darian Callisto, the ruthless King of the South. They have been rivals for a decade but suddenly, they have one thing in common: me. They both claim I’m theirs.
If I choose Valen, the South considers me a traitor. If I stay with Darian, the North invades. The two most powerful men want me and I’m the only thing standing between them and a world war.
How should I choose?

“Don’t do this.” I muttered, my voice shaky as I took a step back. He advanced towards me, his eyes lidded with emotions..

“Don't do what?” He asked, his voice deep and filled with so much pain that my heart aches.

“You know what.” I responded. I looked away from him, not able to stomach the pain in his eyes because I had caused that pain. “We're terrible for each other.” I added.

He stopped walking towards me and clenched his hands beside him. When he spoke again, his words shattered the remaining of my heart.

“Is it so bad to love me, Celia?”
.
.
.
Cecelia had her entire life planned out. She would graduate at the top of her class, go to an Ivy League school, and most importantly, make Alex Gomez's life miserable.

But life had other plans.

She was diagnosed with cancer in the middle of a school year. Even though, she ended up beating the illness, things had changed when she returned to school for senior year.

People had changed. Or so she thought.

Alex Gomez, her biggest rival, was still infuriating and competitive, but he had replaced her as the top student.

The worst part was that he was assigned to be her tutor.

Cecelia was going to make sure he regretted it. She didn't anticipate falling for him, or that he would feel the same way.

Greyson slid his hand beneath me, his fingers expertly circling my swollen clit as Jaxen thrust deep into me from behind. Kylen’s thick length filled my mouth, muffling my moans while ecstasy blurred my vision, and the pressure coiled inside me like a storm about to break. From the bed, Poku groaned, his fist moving lazily over his rigid cock as he watched.

“Look at her,” he rasped, his voice thick with reverence. “Our goddess on her knees, taking two of us at once while the rest wait their turn. That is true devotion.”


Nine years ago, Sahiyra ran into the forest and never came back. Everyone said she died, feral beasts don't spare little girls. But they didn't kill her. They raised her.

Now at nineteen, she lives barefoot, unbonded, and completely untamed. She hunts with wolves, speaks to ravens, and soothes broken beasts with just a touch of her hands.

She knows nothing of rankings, or the brutal harem politics of the beast kind clans.

She has no idea she's the first Myrren born female in two hundred years. Or that her power exceeds even the highest divine tier.

When she stumbles across a hunting party of ten dangerously unbonded beast shifter males... everything changes.

They feel it. That rare energy pulsing beneath her skin. That aura their beasts can't resist.

Something sacred. Something untouchable.

And if she's not careful...their need for her will turn feral. But Sahiyra is no fragile thing. She is the wild. She is Chosen. And she was born to break the system.

When Hailey’s private photos were leaked in class, her perfect academic life collapsed overnight. Humiliated and betrayed, she seeks a moment of reckless escape only to wake up next to a man who makes sin look divine.

But when she walks into the disciplinary hearing the next day, she realizes that the stranger she spent the night with was Damien Alejandro, a ruthless mafia king and father of her enemy.

He should keep her at arm's length.

She should fear him.

Yet, he’s drawn to her innocence, the one thing he thought he had lost long ago.

In a world of secrets and loyalty, their forbidden connection becomes a dangerous obsession.

And when the truth comes out, loving him might not just ruin her reputation, it might cost her life.

"Scholarship trash belongs in the trash." Zara Cole never forgot those words. She just waited until she had a microphone to say them back.

Sixteen-year-old Zara Cole won a full scholarship to Cresthaven Academy, the most expensive school in the country. On her very first day, the most popular boy in school, Luca Harlow, dumps a tray of food on her in front of everyone and calls her a charity case. The video goes viral. Zara becomes a joke overnight.

But Zara has a secret. She is not just a poor girl chasing a dream. She is the anonymous online tutor known as "GoldPen" who has helped half the school pass their exams, including Luca himself.

When the school announces its biggest prize ever, the Crown Contest, where students compete in academics, arts, and leadership for a life-changing scholarship fund, Zara signs up. So does Luca. The contest forces them to work together. And the closer they get, the harder it is to keep hating each other.

But Luca's family has secrets too. Dark ones. Ones that are connected to why Zara's mother lost everything years ago.

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.

She survived the stake. She escaped the swamp. But can she survive him?

Elora clawed her way out of the Lower City's gutters only to be thrown into Arcanum—a gilded cage where nobles hunt commoners for sport and ancient powers play deadly games. Branded a heretic, she's nothing but a research specimen to the cold elven Grand Magister who saved her life... and a fascinating new toy to the thousand-year-old vampire prince who watches her burn from the shadows.

But when dragonfire erupts from her veins and threatens to consume her from within, Elora must make an impossible choice: submit to the monsters who want to control her, or become a monster herself.

Amara is an Omega sold at an exclusive auction to Kael, the fearsome and reclusive Alpha. Rumors surround Kael—some say he’s cursed, others claim he’s a beast driven mad by anyone who he can't control.

Purchased to bear his heir, Amara expects to be treated like property. Instead, she finds herself in a crumbling castle, treated with unexpected dignity but forbidden from leaving the grounds.

Kael keeps his distance, cold and aloof, as if her presence is both an irritation and a temptation. Determined to uncover the truth, Amara discovers strange happenings in the castle—ghostly whispers, silent servants and a wing of the estate that Kael strictly forbids her to enter.

The more she investigates, the more she realizes: Kael is hiding a secret that could change everything.

Lila White never imagined that simply falling in love with someone could lead to losing her home, her father, and almost her life. Her love, humble to the core, still couldn't win his attention.
As time passed and everything came to light, she vaguely realized that she was the only one who thought he didn't love her. But by then, it was already too late.

"How was I supposed to explain to my husband that I had another man's sperm inside me?"
Some mistakes can be hidden, but others come back to claim everything.
Mirabella thought she was building a future, until one chilling mistake at the fertility clinic shattered her world. Instead of her husband's child, she's carrying the baby of a stranger. Desperate to protect herself from her family, she agrees to a secret arrangement.
She signs a deal with the devil: carry the child, take the money, and disappear.
But nothing is ever that simple.

Five years of love, loyalty, and promises—destroyed in one wedding vow.

Judy believed Clark was the man she would spend her life with. After dating for five years, meeting his family, and planning their wedding, she thought love was enough.

She was wrong.

On the day she was supposed to be his bride, Judy watched Clark marry his rich ex-girlfriend instead—leaving her humiliated, heartbroken, and mocked by the world.

As if that wasn’t enough, Judy’s mother’s life hangs on a thread, with a surgery bill of $45,000 she can’t afford. When Clark, the man who promised to help her, turns his back on her completely, Judy hits rock bottom.

That’s when she meets David Jones—a ruthless billionaire CEO and Clark’s sworn business rival.

Cold. Powerful. Dangerous.

David offers her a deal:
A one-year contract marriage.
No love. No emotions.

In return, he will pay for her mother’s surgery.

Judy agrees—not just to save her mother, but to take revenge on the man who betrayed her.

What starts as a loveless contract soon turns into a dangerous game of desire, power, and buried secrets. As Judy steps into the world of wealth and revenge, she must decide—

Is she just using David for survival…
Or is she slowly falling for the man she was never supposed to love?
