"You're going to meet your mate someday." I whispered.
"Olivia."
I forced a smile and lifted my head. "And it's fine. I'll be rooting for you all the way."
He cut me off with a soft "Liv."
I blinked away my tears. "No, listen to me. We need to accept that this won't last forever. You could find her on your next trip out of town, and I'll be forgotten."
I swallowed the lump formed in my throat. "I just hope we'll still be friends."
His face twisted in pain as he rested his forehead against mine, his hands trembling as he cupped my cheeks. "You'll always be my best friend."
"And you'll always be mine."
I pressed my lips against his, needing to taste him, to feel his lips on mine, to know that at this moment, he was mine.

Stay hidden. Don’t let them spot you.
Stay away from cities.
Don’t take unnecessary risks.

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."

“Is this what you want baby? Beg me.”
He teases me with a finger at the entrance.
I don’t want to play games now. I'm about to climax.


When you love someone you have to set them free and if it’s meant to be they should come back right?.. But what if you love two people? Not just any two people…. Twin brothers!! And one just happens to be your boss?
Cassie knew this wasn’t going to end well but what’s the worst that could happen?

Freak,” “Loser,” they muttered at me.
 
“Make them pay!” The demonic voice in my head was louder this time.
 
I will make them pay. Each one of them

Can she survive this new turn of events?

The silver-moon bond is a death sentence, and Sofia Vega just signed it in blood.

As the first Omega admitted to Spain’s elite wolf academy in forty years, Sofia entered the Sierra Nevada mountains expecting to be an outcast. She planned for the sneers of the Alpha-blood elite and the calculated cruelty of the hierarchy. She didn't plan for Alejandro Reyes.

Heir to the High Alpha and architect of his own cold silence, Alejandro is the last man Sofia should want—and the only man who can ruin her. But when a restricted training session turns into a bloody ambush, an ancient, dormant power erupts between them. In a flash of moonlight not seen in two centuries, the Fated Mark ignites, binding an unwanted Omega to the future King of the wolf territories.

The bond is irreversible, but the timing is fatal. Alejandro is already betrothed to a ruthless heiress to prevent a civil war, and Sofia’s presence is a political landmine that threatens to blow the alliance apart. From a professor who is slowly siphoning her power to rivals who see her mark as a target, Sofia is surrounded by predators.

She came to the Academy to prove that Omegas belong in the halls of power. Instead, she’s accidentally claimed the one man whose soul belongs to her, but whose hand belongs to the state.

The mark is fated. The betrayal is certain. In a game of Alphas, the Omega is about to change the rules.

Sink your teeth into the bond that burns. Start reading today.

Do you remember the story of Rapunzel, the long golden-haired girl trapped in a tower.

And do you remember the witch that took her, because of a feud from both siblings. The woman no one knew the tower was originally built for.

What you don't know was that that witch was once a Queen. And across the kingdoms of Arrandelle and Seatopia, jealousy does more than poison hearts between two sisters, it created curses.

When Princess Athalia, driven by envy and desperate longing, forges a forbidden pact to gain beauty and influence, she unknowingly ignites a chain of events that twists love into obsession and ambition into ruin.

The sorcerer’s bargain demands an impossible pact, else she will face destruction. But how long will the result of Athalia’s ambition and jealousy grow?

This is the untold origin of the witch and Rapunzel's parents, reimagined into a darker tale where every spell demands a sacrifice and every fairy tale begins with a sin.

"Five years and that's all you have to say to me?" he asked. Standing so close she could taste his breath.

She wanted to move away from him. But she didn't want him to know just how much he affected her. So she stood right there. She wasn't going to let him intimidate her.

"Well... Is there anything else you want me to say?" she asked

The side of his mouth moved upwards.

He was smiling? Why the hell was he smiling like that? She thought. She didn't remember saying anything funny.

"You left... Kitty" he said. "I asked you to stay... Begged you to stay... And you left anyways.. With him. And now you come back... Acting like everything is okay between us...?"

There was something about him... She thought. Something about the way he called her 'Kitty' that made her heart flip. He was the only one who called her that. She hadn't even realized how much she missed him calling her that.

"You shouldn't have gone with him". He said.

"Oh really? Why not? Because you didn't want me to?" she asked. She was starting to get angry.

"Yeah that's right" he replied. "And because of what you felt for me -what we felt for each other. When I came near you, you felt an excitement so intense that you ceased to breathe --like you are feeling right now. You wanted me just as much as I wanted you. And that should have been enough to make you stay"

I hid in my best friend's closet to catch my fiancé cheating.
Through the gap in the door, I saw them on the bed. Tessa was blindfolded, wrists tied to the headboard with silk scarves. Callum's hands wrapped around her throat—some kind of breath play, I guessed.
Then her moaning turned to choking.
Her body convulsed. Her bound hands clawed at nothing. Her legs kicked against the mattress.
Then stopped.
Callum released her throat. Checked her pulse. Sighed.
And lit a cigarette.
He sat there scrolling his phone next to her body. No panic. No CPR. No 911.
Like this wasn't his first time watching someone die.
I bit my hand to keep from screaming. Blood seeped across the floor toward my bare feet.
Then he walked toward the closet.
I escaped that night. Barely. Ran three floors up to my neighbor's apartment—Dr. Neve Ashton, a trauma therapist. Beautiful. Warm. The kind of woman who made you feel safe just by existing.
She pulled me inside, locked the door, handed me tea.
"I called the police," she said. "They're on their way."
An hour passed. No sirens.
I looked at her. She smiled.

My life changed forever four years ago.
I lost the love of my life, the only person who truly loved me. The only person I had in this world.
Now here I am, trying to make a new start in Scotland, but I refuse to let my husband go.
It is hard to let him go when I still see and feel him around me every day.

It was not part of the plan to meet a new man, one who knows what I am feeling because he lost someone too. We clash from the second I move in, but soon, we find ourselves bonding over our trauma, something no one else can understand. I am looking for a friend, nothing more. He is the same, but the more time we spend together, things change. We start to feel things, things none of us are ready for. None of us expected that the second we met, we would be each other's reasons for healing.

"Are you still here?" I whisper, my words shaky in case he is gone.

"Of course, I am still here. I will be here for as long as you need me to be, my angel." The sound of his voice relaxes me.

"I wasn't sure since I left our home, if you would stay behind or not. I will always need you, my love."

"No, you won't. One day will come when you are okay without me." His finger brushes my face, but I wish so much I could feel it more powerful. I hate that I can't feel his touch as strongly as when he was still alive.

"No, that won't happen. You promised you wouldn't leave." I whimper. Losing him a second time would kill me.

Alina Hart only meant to deliver a wedding invitation.

One knock on the penthouse door.
One awkward meeting with the man her mother was about to marry.

But when the door opens, Alina’s heart nearly stops.

Because the billionaire standing before her is the same man she shared a reckless, unforgettable night with three days ago a stranger whose dangerous charm left her breathless in a dark elevator.

Neither of them knew who the other was.

Now he’s supposed to become her stepfather.

Cold, powerful and feared in the business world, Dominic Vale is a man who always gets what he wants. But the moment he realizes the woman he can’t stop thinking about is his fiancée’s daughter, the rules between them become dangerously blurred.

They try to keep their distance.
They try to pretend nothing happened.

But every glance burns.
Every accidental touch ignites something they can’t control.

And when secrets from the past begin to unravell—revealing that their meeting might not have been a coincidence at all—Alina discovers that Dominic’s connection to her family runs deeper than anyone imagined.

Now love, betrayal and obsession collide in a game where the greatest danger isn’t the scandal…

It’s the fact that neither of them wants to stop.

A rich and noble young lady suddenly turned into a waitress working in a British restaurant. Thanks to her father's will, she still inherited 30% of the company's shares and always had a mysterious bodyguard to protect her. However, When she got everything ready and planned to go home again, her mother turned out to be giving the company to that homewrecker and letting the girl's sister inherit all the property.

I didn’t see Tyler coming.

One second I was rounding the corner. The next, a hand closed around my wrist, pulling me suddenly into a nearby room.

The door shut behind us.

My breath stuttered as my back hit the wall and Tyler loomed in front of me, his chest rising and falling, eyes dark with something fierce and feral.

“Tell me,” he said quietly, his hand sliding to my waist, deliberate but restrained. “Is Mark really the sweetest?”

My heart hammered.

“Or,” he continued, leaning in just enough that I could feel the heat of him, “did you say that just to piss me off?”


When Westfield’s golden boy and star hockey player, Tyler Mercer, suffers a career-threatening injury that keeps him off the ice, the last person he wants overseeing his recovery is Harper Lane, a quiet, sharp-tongued classmate thrust into the role of playing his temporary physiotherapist.

Tyler is determined to push her out. Harper is determined to prove she's not just a fill-in.

What begins as resentment slowly shifts into understanding, and understanding turns dangerous when feelings get involved and their choices start to affect more than just themselves.

She was never supposed to fall for him.
He was never supposed to need her this much.

With betrayal closing in and the final game looming, they must decide what matters more: the futures they’ve been chasing… or the one they never planned for.

“You don’t get to pretend this isn’t happening.”

The dim lighting of the hotel room shines down upon Cassian’s words, full of emotion. Torin is standing by the window, lit by the city lights outside. There is an ocean between them, a vast distance of twenty feet.

“You don’t get to make me feel crazy for wanting you to look at me.”

Torin has his fists clenched at his sides.

“What do you want me to say? That I think of you constantly? That every time you’re out there on that ice, I pray for the game to be over so I can get to you, so I can touch you, so I can make sure you’re safe,” his voice cracks as he continues.

“That every time you get hurt, I have to sit there and watch it happen, because I can’t protect you, not without destroying everything.”


They are "The Ice Breakers", the stoic captain and the reckless rookie, their on-ice chemistry is the only thing standing between their team and a catastrophe. Off the ice, they cannot stand each other. At least, that's what the camera sees.

Alexander said, “Victoria, I have personally stripped off all your disguises. Now, it’s time to win your heart.”

Our ceremony was ambushed underground. One exit. Corvin was the only one who could move fast enough to carry someone out.
In my last life, he chose me — and left Niamh behind. She didn't make it. He spent five years after that making sure I understood what that meant. Every day I woke up was a day she couldn't. When I finally ran out of ways to leave quietly, I chose a window that faced east and walked into it.
Now I'm back. Same corridor, same chaos, same choice.
This time, I said: "Take Niamh."
The way his shoulders came down — like something he'd been holding for years, finally put down — told me everything five years together never did.
He promised to come back. He was already moving when he said it.
I knew I had to get out myself. But the ferals who'd killed Niamh last time found my corridor before I made it to the stairs.

After years of marriage, my husband has always believed that our one-night stand was a trap I set for him.
There’s another woman in his heart.

His other life is as Alex Brim, a Hero for Hire on the Magical World Azurath to where he can travel by using a magical pendant. 
His help is needed from time to time, because of the Magical Voids that appear in the sky from where Monsters fall, making the lives of the different species that lives there, a very hard one. 
…

Alex shouted to the Orc, surprising everyone, “Eat him already! He is in my way, I want your head and the pretty Magical Orb you have inside you! You are not dead already because that dumbass is still there, but as soon as you kill him, you are all mine!”

The Orc let his hostage go that fell on the ground with a muffled bump. The Orc raised his mace to the sky and screamed, giving the signal for the Goblins to attack.

At the same time, Alex whispered, “Give me a little of your strength, Shinatobe.”

A small dot of light near his right ear answered in a low voice, “As you say, Master.”
...

“You belong to me, Aria,” he growls, his nose brushing against mine. “The harder you push me away, the deeper I fall into this madness of wanting you.”

“You don’t even want a mate!” I remind him, hating how small my voice sounds, and how my body sings whenever he’s this close to me.

His breath brushes against my lips. “You’re right. I don’t. But I burn for you, Aria, and I don’t think I’ll make it through the season without tasting what’s mine.”


They call Ryder Drexel the Ice King of Ironclaw University, captain of the undefeated Iron Wolves, cold-blooded on the rink and untouchable off it. He doesn’t do distractions. He doesn’t do relationships. And he sure as hell doesn’t do fate.

Until her.

Aria Murdock is the opposite. She’s an invisible scholarship student hiding secrets that she’s spent her entire life hiding—she’s a wolf who can’t shift in a world where wolves like her are called runts and are mercilessly killed to be rid of their weak bloodline.

But when an accident reveals her true scent, Ryder’s world fractures.

She’s a walking death sentence. Someone undesirable to most. Off-limits because of her low rank and bloodline.

And she’s his mate.

Now, the Alpha heir has a choice. He can either reject the bond, or risk everything to claim her. The problem? Claiming her means breaking every rule and starting a war within his own pack. It also means revealing who Aria truly is, and she’s so much more than a runt.

They’re enemies by nature, but bound by instinct and fate.

In a world where packs, rules, and reputations reign, claiming her might just cost him everything, especially his heart.

In the world of elite hockey, discipline is the only currency that matters. For Julian Thorne, the perfectionist Captain of the Northwood Olympic Center, every stride is calculated, and every emotion is frozen solid. He is one season away from the pros, but the team is drowning under public scrutiny and a board of directors looking for any reason to cut the cord.

​Then comes Jax Miller.

​Jax is a hotheaded rookie with a lightning-fast puck and a reputation for burning bridges. He doesn't follow playbooks, he doesn't respect authority, and he’s determined to melt Julian’s icy composure. When a viral video of their on-ice collision threatens to bankrupt the program, Coach Clain delivers an ultimatum that feels like a death sentence: they must live together in a cramped, two-bed dorm for the duration of the season.

​Forced to navigate the high-stakes world of sports fame, "forbidden" locker-room tension, and the mysterious blackmailer who caught their first mistake on camera, Julian and Jax must decide what’s more dangerous: losing their careers, or losing themselves to the person they were supposed to hate.

But something ancient is waking up anyway.
When Lexie, a scholarship student, arrives at the elite Gravenmoor Art Academy, she believes her biggest challenge will be surviving among the privileged.

And Oliver, Lexie’s fiercely loyal friend, knows far more about Gravenmoor’s darkness than he’s ever admitted.
And the closer she grows to the boys guarding their own dangerous truths, the more she risks becoming part of the curse.
Because at Gravenmoor, knowing the future doesn’t mean you can change it—
and loving a monster might make you one too.

He fell in love with the girl he had a one-night stand with. When her true nature revealed, he hated himself for loving her and decided never to see her again. However, his fate took an unexpected turn and entangled him in a contract marriage with her, turning the girl he despised into his temporary wife.

As I spank her, Grace questions in a surprised tone, "What was that?"

"That was for leaving your husband alone in the pool," I respond in a teasing tone, seizing her waist and pulling her towards me, stealing her breath.

"But, my dear husband, you're pissing me off. Just move away." She tries to break free from my grasp.

"Stop moving, Mrs Grey!"

"No, I won't listen to you, Mr Grey. You told me you don't want me, so why are you here again?"

"I didn't say that I don't want you," I whisper, closing the distance between us, my lips nearing my angry wife's.

"It means the same!" She rolls her eyes.

"I want you so damn much, okay? And I'm ready to regret it again and again for doing this. Today, I'll show you how much I desire you, my wife." I confess, my fingers playing with her wet hair, and my hand still firmly gripping her waist.

"So tell me. Who is stopping you, husband?"

In this prestigious North American university, I was just a lowly physical education teacher, working long hours and being bossed around.
No one knew that two years ago, I was a special forces legend, codenamed "Tyrant," who climbed to the top of the dark web, stepping over the corpses of countless enemies in the abyss of hell.
I thought I had washed the blood off my hands.
Until that day, the only ordinary female student I cared about was lured into a black market industrial park on the Balkan border, facing a butcher's chainsaw.
For five million dollars to save my life, I was willing to swallow all my pride and bow to the school's richest family.
But what I got in return was public humiliation and a beating from the powerful.
They laughed at me, calling me a weakling, saying my life was less than that of a lowly dog.
Watching the video showing only five hours left of life and death, I snapped the spine of the richest man's bodyguard with my bare hands, tearing apart the docile mask I had worn for two years.
Crossing half the globe to storm into a heavily guarded, lawless land?
It had been a long time since I'd stretched my muscles.
It seems the world has forgotten why this dark jungle, filled with warlords and evil, still cannot bear to hear my name!

He’s the campus hockey king.
She’s the girl he was never supposed to want.

Logan Shaw doesn’t do relationships.

As the captain of the university hockey team and the son of an NHL legend, his future is simple: hockey first, everything else second. Girls are fun. Temporary. And never a complication.

Harper Lane is the exact kind of complication he avoids.

Smart. Stubborn. Completely unimpressed by his reputation—and the one girl on campus who refuses to fall for Logan Shaw’s charm.

They were never supposed to collide.

But when Logan shocks the entire university by spending five thousand dollars to win Harper in a charity date auction, suddenly the whole campus is watching.

What starts as a fake date quickly turns into something much more dangerous.

Late-night celebrations.
Arguments that end in kisses.
Chemistry neither of them can ignore.

Logan was supposed to stay focused on hockey.

Harper was supposed to protect her heart.

Instead, they’re playing a game neither of them knows how to win.

Because the more Logan tries to keep things casual…

the harder he falls.

And when NHL scouts start watching and Logan’s controlling father steps in, Harper becomes the one thing Logan might have to give up to chase the future he’s been raised for.

But walking away from her might be the one game Logan Shaw can’t win.

Enemies-to-lovers tension
Hockey captain energy
Slow burn with explosive chemistry

And a love story that might ruin everything.

"She was a ballerina until the stage broke her.
Now she’s spinning in the arms of her brother’s playboy best friend."
After a devastating ankle injury destroys her ballet dreams, 17-year-old Rory Sinclair is forced to try figure skating for recovery at a rundown Brooklyn rink.
The last person she wants to see there is Julian Reyes — her older brother’s dangerously charming best friend, the city’s hottest figure skater, and a notorious playboy who leaves broken hearts everywhere he glides.
When the rink faces closure, Rory and Julian are forced to become partners for a high-stakes mixed pairs competition. Now she must spend every freezing morning wrapped in his strong arms — lifted, spun, and held closer than any ballerina should allow.
As their routine fuses her graceful ballet with his powerful skating, the line between hate and desire begins to blur. But with her protective brother warning her to stay away, Julian’s jealous past flings watching their every move, and both their futures on the line…
Falling for the playboy might be the most dangerous performance of her life.

Nymeria has spent her whole life running from her past, from her bloodline, and from the kind of love that always ends in betrayal.

So when her brother drags her into his elite hockey world, she promises herself one thing: don’t get attached, don’t get close, and don’t fall.

Especially not for him.

Declan Cross, the Ice King, is her brother’s best friend, her first love, and her biggest mistake.

He’s colder now, darker, and dangerous in ways she can’t explain. The way he watches her feels wrong, and she doesn't want to think of her brother's friend in that way. Satisfying her.

And the worst part? He refuses to stay away.

But Nymeria isn’t just hiding scars, she’s hiding a secret powerful enough to start a war. Because she isn’t just a girl with a broken past.

She had the hunted bloodline. A secret the werewolf world would kill to control.

And Declan? He didn’t find her by accident. He was sent to hunt her.

When fate binds them as mates, Nymeria does the unthinkable. She rejects him.

But Declan doesn’t accept rejection. Not from her, or from anyone.

As obsession replaces control and enemies close in, Nymeria must decide: Run like she always has, or risk everything for a man she doesn’t trust. A man who might destroy her.

"She's dying, can't you be more generous?" That's what my husband said.
So I was generous.
I gave her my husband's time when our daughter was in the ER for an allergic reaction she caused.
I gave her my once-in-a-lifetime concert ticket because "she deserved it more."
I even endured our daughter wishing I would die in her place.
But when he accused me of orchestrating a kidnapping to win his sympathy, I knew my generosity had run out. I threw the divorce papers in his face. He laughed, thinking I couldn't survive without him.
He's about to find out how wrong he is.

She works too much, sleeps too little, and saves the one thing that still feels like hers for the middle of the night, when she can lace up her worn skates and carve freedom into dangerous frozen ice.

She doesn’t know why her chest keeps pulling toward the one boy she absolutely cannot afford to want. Blake is Charlie’s new hockey captain. Charlie’s chance at making something good. Charlie makes it clear; his sister is off-limits and Blake tries to do the right thing, but secrets don’t stay buried forever. Rogues prowl the edges of town. The ice cracks. The bond tightens. Then Charlotte’s rare white wolf awakens, the very thing that makes her powerful, also makes her a target.

For years, I loved a boy who made it clear he would never love me back.

Angelo grew up in my father’s house. Once, he was my protector. The boy who stood beside me when we were children.

Then tragedy hit and everything changed.

After that night, Angelo looked at me like I was the reason his life was destroyed.

In high school, loving him became my greatest humiliation. I chased him while he pushed me away. I defended him while he pretended I didn’t exist.

Everyone could see it.

The mafia king’s daughter… begging for the attention of a boy who hated her.

But Angelo was never just a boy.

He was dangerous.

The fights.
The violence.
The whispers about the things he did to people who crossed him.

Still, I loved him.

I thought the worst thing he could ever do to me was break my heart.

I was wrong.

Years later, the same man who spent his life rejecting me becomes my husband.

Not because he wants me.

Because my father made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

What I thought was destiny was nothing more than a bargain.

And when the truth finally destroys me, I try to escape him.

But the man I married is no longer the cold boy from high school.

Angelo Erasmus now controls an empire built on violence and blood.

And the most dangerous thing about him is not the power he holds.

It’s the fact that the man who spent years pushing me away has finally realized something terrifying.

He never stopped wanting me.

But neither of them expected that a fake marriage would ignite a dangerous obsession. Ethan hides a dark secret that could destroy any chance of real love: in intimacy, he only knows how to love by dominating. And Amber—innocent, pure, and untouched—becomes the contradiction that threatens to unravel his world of control.
Between nights of passion that sometimes break her, family lies, blackmail, and rivals determined to tear them apart, both must decide if this forced marriage will be their worst curse… or the only path to true love.
An impossible contract. An ice-hearted man. An innocent woman who refuses to surrender.
When the forbidden becomes obsession, can it transform a wrong marriage into the greatest love of their lives?
