"Bend over. I want to see your ass while I fuck you."

God! At the same time as his words aroused me, they managed to irritate me. Even now, he's still the same bastard, arrogant and bossy as ever, who always wanted things his way.

"Why would I do that?" I asked, feeling my legs weaken.

"I'm sorry if I made you think you had any choice," he said before grabbing my hair and pushing my torso, forcing me to lean over and place my hands on the surface of his desk.

Oh, hell. It made me smile, and made me even wetter. Bryce Forbes was much rougher than I had imagined.

I lean down, sucking and licking the sauce off her neck; she groans, moving herself off her chair onto my lap. I lift her mouth to mine. We kiss one another with deep desire.

He thought I was 10 when he killed my father and took me and my best friend Olivia to be he’s personal slaves four years ago. One night Alpha Sebastian gets drunk and grabs my arm. “Let go of me” I yell, pulling my arm away from him. I get a punch in the face and fall to the ground. I hold my head; one kick, two kicks, three. He’s screaming, “How dare you embarrass me, you little slut.” I can barely breathe as he tries to grab my neck. “DO NOT TOUCH MY MATE” Someone stops him. Mate? Did I hear that right? I roll over to see who’s speaking. Brown eyes; auburn hair. “Alex” I whisper before everything goes black.

They destroyed his father. Now he's riding straight into the heart of enemy territory.

Zed Chen has one rule never let them see your face. As the underground racing legend Ghost Rider, he's untouchable until a rigged race tears off his mask and exposes his identity to the worst possible person. Dax Steele, VP of the Iron Wolves MC. The club that bankrupted his father and drove him to an early grave.

Now he owes $50,000 to men who don't accept apologies, and Dax offers him a deal he can't refuse race for the Iron Wolves in the inter-club championship and she'll clear his debt. But working for his enemy means living in her world, sleeping under her roof, and discovering that everything he believed about his father's death might be a lie.

Dax has secrets of her own. Two years of evidence. A corrupt mother. And a mission that needs exactly one thing she doesn't have a rider good enough to win.

They don't trust each other. They don't have to. They just have to survive long enough to bring down the people who destroyed them both.

In the biker world, loyalty is everything. But some debts aren't paid with money.

They're paid with the truth.

I'm the only daughter of a mafia leader. I married Marco, an outsider, against my father's wishes.

Six months ago, my father died in a car accident. Marco took over part of the family business. One day when I was feeling down, I passed through the slums and saved a girl named Gianna who was being beaten for stealing food. I took her in as my assistant and treated her like a sister.

But when I was six months pregnant, I walked into the company break room and found Gianna in lingerie, seducing Marco.

I ordered my guards to send her back to the slums immediately.

Marco tried to plead for her. I cut him off coldly: "I don't want to see her again."

He went silent for a moment but didn't oppose my decision.

Over the next three months, Marco seemed warm and caring on the surface but grew increasingly distant. I thought he was just busy with work and decided to help him after the baby was born.

My due date is this week.

Last night, Marco lulled me to sleep like always, his voice so gentle.

But now when I wake up, I find myself lying in the middle of a deserted forest.

And my husband, holding Gianna whom I had sent away, looked at me arrogantly and said, "Since you love sending people away so much, I suppose it shouldn't be a problem for me to send you here to give birth, should it?"

Alice Brown is an outlier in the shifter palace. She is weak and cannot transform, and is the lowest maid in the palace: everyone can bully her, and every man wants her. As such, Alice upholds an innocent mask and a vicious and selfish heart. One that shows when the new palace warrior, Simon, calls her weak. Weak? She will prove him wrong. And she will start by learning showing him what she's truly capable of.

"You will have to find the answer to that question yourself," he teased. "I can't tell you."

"Is there a reward for answering correctly?" I boldly asked as I leaned back to look at his face.

The longer I sat on his lap, the more confident I was getting. Goddess, help me.

His eyes darkened and his words came out more like a growl. "Yes."

Seducing My Older Alpha Mate is written by A.B. Elwin, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

When you become the villain Obsession

"I enjoy making beautiful women cry and you are no exception" He growled softly tugging at my ponytail, his hands hovering on the veil, and a tear rolled down my cheek.

I shivered in fear of what awaited me when he opens the veil, he loves making beautiful women cry. What about ugly ones?

She was the Fairest of them all until she was scarred. A deep scar runs across her face, born from hatred and jealousy.

The werewolves, once thought to be nothing more than myth, are revealed as enemies of the vampires, and Lily finds herself caught in the middle of a war she doesn’t understand.

As she gets closer to Alex, the vampire who saved her life, she also begins to discover more about her own hidden abilities.

The deeper Lily delves into this supernatural world, the more she realizes that she may be connected to it in ways she never imagined. As alliances are formed and broken, Lily faces impossible choices.

Will she stay loyal to Alex, or will she be forced to choose a side?

And in the end, will she survive the battle between vampires and werewolves?

“And what do you think strength is?” I asked her between clenched teeth.

“Strength is to be brave enough to open up to someone else, to give someone your heart even though by doing so you hand them a way to utterly destroy you. It’s to be there for the people you call family,” she told me.

“Are you saying we wouldn’t help our brothers? Fuck you, Tite! I would die for each of my brothers!”

“Yeah, that is easy to say, Nash, easy to do. The big gestures, going out in blaze of glory with your brothers by your side. It’s easy to say you will give your life for your brothers, but it means nothing if you can’t stand with them in the small, everyday things,” she said.


Tite is a hybrid of werewolf and witch, but she’s never felt at home in either world. Tough, clever, and ambitious, she searches for belonging.

Nash’s MC club, the Howlers, faces escalating attacks that threaten their survival, prompting him to seek help from the mysterious ‘mother chapter.’ When he meets Tite, Nash feels an undeniable connection, but he insists he’s only interested in a one-night stand.

Hope sparks in Tite—could she finally have found her place? But Nash’s, her true mate, rejection shatters that dream. Determined to still help, Tite convinces her father to send her with Nash to save the club.

Dark magic and betrayal run deep in the Howlers, and yet, she uncovers a hidden ally—a panther shifter among the members. As secrets reveal themselves, Tite and Nash must fight for love and survival amidst mounting danger.

teacher. The good girl Millhaven is proud of. She knows her place, her purpose, and exactly
who she's supposed to become until a wrong turn on a rain-soaked highway lands her
stranded outside the Steel Roads MC compound, and the most dangerous man she's ever seen
pulls her out of the dark.
Jett Harlow doesn't do innocent. He doesn't do complications. And he absolutely doesn't do
preachers' daughters with wide eyes and a mouth that won't quit. But Grace stumbles into his
world and refuses to flinch, refuses to be dismissed, and refuses to stop looking at him like she
sees something worth saving underneath all that leather and sin.
He's spent fifteen years burying a past that would destroy everything he's built. The club. The
loyalty. The careful control he keeps on the darkness inside him. Grace makes him want to let it
breathe and that terrifies him more than any enemy ever has.
But someone from Jett's past hasn't forgotten what he did to survive. And a threat moving
quietly through Millhaven is about to shatter the world Grace has always known, forcing her to
choose between the safety of everything familiar and the man who makes her feel like she was
never truly alive until now.
He knows he'll ruin her. She knows he's worth the risk. The devil always did have a weakness
for grace.
She stumbled into his darkness. He never found his way back to the light until her.

They destroyed her father. Now she's racing straight into the heart of enemy territory.

Dax has secrets of his own, evidence that his father was framed, and the real culprit is still out there. He needs Mia's skills on the track and her mechanical genius in the garage. What he doesn't need is the fire she ignites in his blood every time she defies him.

As they dig deeper into the past, attraction sparks into something dangerous. Because in the biker world, loyalty is everything and loving your enemy could get you both killed.

She came for revenge. She stayed for the truth. She'll risk everything for him.

“I should have refused.” I shook my head, my eyes sweeping towards the silver eyed devil standing before me, with no ounce of guilt or remorse in his eyes. “I should have never married you.”
“That hurts my feeling.” That was a cruel joke, because we both know that he doesn’t even have feelings to begin with. “But there isn’t any man who could love you like I do; not even Thorne.”
I paused when his long, cold index finger trailed my face stopping at my lips, and his eyes met mine again.
They were dark… with lust.
“Fuck you.” I muttered with hate and anger dripping in my voice.
“I believe even right now, all you want is me.” He mused and he wasn’t wrong, because he never said I couldn’t leave. Yet, I found myself staying, and hoping he would change. “And all that completes me is you.”
I shut my eyes as he slammed his lips against mine.

A dream
We were somewhere near a waterfall. I was wearing a bikini, and he was wearing swim shorts. We went swimming. Then, I laid a towel down so I could give it a little bite. Not hard enough to hurt, but hard enough to feel it. At the same time, he is sucking on my left nipple. He is squeezing the right nipple with his fingers. He then leaves a trail of kisses from my left nipple to my right nipple, giving it the same attention, and he squeezes the left nipple like he did the right nipple with his fingers.

Elena, "I called her name as I pulled my lips away from hers".
"Let's stop. You're going to regret this tomorrow," I said, breathless.
"No, I won't," she whispered, before kissing me again - harder this time. God knows I was trying my best to control myself.
We kept kissing as she began unbuttoning my white shirt. Her hand slid down to my trousers, fumbling with my belt.
"No... I can't do this," I said, my heart racing. Ryder will kill me if he finds out.

Blake has been secretly in love with his best friend’s sister, Elena,who is five years older than him ,since he was ten. Their families are close, almost like one big family, which only made it harder for him to confess how he felt.

I caught my fiancé in bed with my sister, so I married his sociopath older brother to save my legacy, and now I'm his favorite toy to break.
"I should have refused." I shook my head, my eyes sweeping towards the silver eyed devil standing before me, with no ounce of guilt or remorse in his eyes. "I should have never married you."

A vampire can only share a blood pact with one mate. My husband, Duke Vincent, and I have been in love and bound by our pact for ten years. Back then, he swore his loyalty to me before the vampire gods.

But today, as his cursed first love lies dying, he hands me a vial of the oblivion draught and forcibly breaks our bond.

"Elara, Camilla is dying. Just give me three days. Let me fulfill her dream of a blood wedding."

"I don't want you to hurt. This draught just causes temporary amnesia. Once the wedding ends in three days, I'll go to the capital and get the antidote. You'll remember me, and we'll bind a much grander blood pact."

I stare at his uncompromising expression. Then I take the vial and swallow the potion without a second thought.

What Vincent doesn't know is that I brewed this oblivion draught myself.

There is absolutely no antidote.

In three days, I'll not only forget him completely, but I'll also head to the human capital to start my new job at the Royal Potion Workshop.

Seven years ago, Ronan Blackwood—Alpha of the Beastman Clan—endured 999 lashes and defied the Council's exile to bond with me, a human.

He swore before the gods I'd be his only mate, forever.

But when his childhood sweetheart Camilla was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he dissolved our soul-bond at the Underground Court.

Then he handed me a glowing vial—the Seven-Day Oblivion.

"Sia, I need seven days to give Camilla a proper bonding ceremony before she dies. This potion will make you forget me temporarily. No pain, no memories. After the ceremony, you'll take the antidote and love me again. Then we'll re-bond."

He promised this separation was temporary. That I'd still be his only true mate.

What he didn't know: the potion was forbidden. There was no antidote.

I stared into those amber eyes that once bled for me—and swallowed it anyway.

In seven days, I'll forget him completely.

On the day the apocalyptic flood swallowed the city, I died on a fractured overpass.

The man who crushed my fingers under his boot was my brother-in-law, the very man I had sacrificed everything to support. And standing safely out of reach, watching coldly as the muddy torrent swallowed me whole, was my supposedly sweet and devoted fiancée. In her arms, she fiercely clutched her "son"—who was hoarding the last of my survival rations.

In the very last second of my life, she nestled into the arms of her ex-boyfriend and left me with a single, contemptuous sneer: "Let's go. Forget about this useless trash."

It turned out that working my fingers to the bone and emptying my life savings had all been a pathetic joke—a long con orchestrated by a pack of bloodsucking parasites.

But when I opened my eyes again, I had returned to exactly one year before the apocalypse began.

My fiancée was standing there, holding a cup of hot coffee and sweetly begging me to invest another million into her brother's business.

I just smiled, gently pushed her hand away, and turned around to liquidate every single asset to my name. With that money, I secretly constructed a state-of-the-art, deep-sea underground fortress.

Later, when the monstrous floodwaters inevitably tore the city apart, they stood on the balcony of their doomed mansion, desperately falling to their knees and begging my icebreaker for salvation.

Sitting inside my perfectly secure command cabin, I took a leisurely sip of hot coffee and softly gave the order:

"Open fire. Don't let this trash dirty my deck."

Extreme cold descended suddenly, with temperatures approaching minus eighty degrees Celsius.

My girlfriend tricked me into leaving the temperature-controlled fortress I had built with all my savings. She took her whole family and her lover and took over the place, leaving me, a cripple, to be left to die in a blizzard.

They sat around my fireplace eating top-grade Wagyu beef, declaring they would watch me freeze into an ice sculpture.

But what they didn't know was that, locked out, I turned around and dialed the number of the most brutal outlaw in the apocalypse.

I don't want the billion-dollar supplies and the houses; all I want is for their whole family to be trapped in this inescapable, icy hell, unable to live or die.

In my previous life, an endless polar night and frost-laden corpse tide swept through the entire city.
My wife and I took in her mother and younger brother out of familial obligation,
But when monsters attacked, they locked us outside the shelter and we were torn apart alive.
Opening my eyes again, there are only seven days until doomsday arrives.
My wife and I have reached a consensus—to hell with blood being thicker than water!
This time, we will build an icy tomb for them with our own hands at the highest point of this city.

On the day I got engaged to the heir of an elite old-money family, my own birth mother spread vicious lies about me in front of the entire crowd. She claimed I’d lived a wildly promiscuous life while studying abroad, and had even secretly given birth to a stillborn child with no known father.
Afterwards, she took my hand and sobbed out an apology, saying she’d only wanted to test whether my fiancé truly loved me enough to stand by me. I was foolish enough to believe her, and drank the calming tea she’d personally handed me.
When I opened my eyes the next morning, everything was destroyed. I lay in my bedroom, disheveled and half-dressed, and the man beside me was none other than my younger sister’s boyfriend.
In the end, my fiancé married my sister. And I was mercilessly disowned and cast out by my own family.
But twenty years later, every single one of them would come to regret what they’d done.

My fiancée's father called me a stray dog, worse than trash.
My rival forced me to crawl between his legs and trampled me into the mud.
They all thought I was just a piece of trash to be trampled on at will.
But they didn't know that I endured humiliation and hardship for a shocking secret order.

At first, I thought I was the luckiest woman in the world, at least maybe the sacrifices I had made over the past five years would pay off.
But I was wrong. I was just a replacement for Luna, whom no one ever wanted.
I was abandoned by Alpha, my husband, on our fifth wedding anniversary, for the woman who had left him.
What hurt even more was that the child I had raised with all my heart and soul ran into the arms of her biological mother, as if I had never meant anything to his.
Rejected, discarded, and cast out-all of it destroyed me. It felt as if the whole world had rejected me.
But just when I was about to disappear, fate brought me to the beginning of a resurrection I never imagined.

Seven days before the apocalypse, my vampire parents forced me to hand over three million to buy a house for my baby brother in full.

As an actuary, I knew that order would collapse in seven days and the money would become worthless. So I not only readily agreed, but also used their family's records as collateral to raise millions in high-interest loans, building an impregnable, top-secret fortress.

Seven days later, an unexpected change occurred.

The debt-collecting gangs and the endless horde of zombies drove them to the brink of despair. Meanwhile, I sat in a temperature-controlled safe house, sipping freshly ground coffee, calmly watching the cannibalistic karmic retribution unfold on the security camera.

In the apocalypse, there is no family affection, only the probability of survival.

In my past life, I was betrayed by my fiancée and my tycoon boss, and thrown alive into a mutated swarm to be torn apart.

When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn fifteen days before the multidimensional catastrophe! Facing my vain ex-boyfriend who was still threatening to break off our engagement and buy me luxury bags, I sneered and decisively blocked him, instantly awakening a "Beast-Level Infrastructure System."

Hoarding supplies in the apocalypse? Too narrow-minded! I directly infiltrated the polar regions with my geeky best friends, tampered with central permissions, and seized my tycoon boss's invincible fortress—a multi-billion dollar investment with a nuclear reactor!

When the catastrophe erupted and gravity collapsed, my boss and ex-girlfriend, dragging their mangled bodies, knelt outside the ten-meter-thick tungsten steel door, frantically kowtowing, begging to be brought in as dogs. I, however, holding a Romanée-Conti, coldly pressed the gravity strangulation button.

The Abyss Era, the Old Gods are all dead. On this wasteland, only I sit high on my icy throne, establishing absolute laws.
