Elara, a bright and ambitious student at Astraea University, has always been drawn to things that defy logic. When she enrolls in a Philosophy class taught by Lucien—a young, charismatic professor shrouded in mystery—she can’t shake the feeling that something about him is... off. He never seems to change, as if time itself refuses to touch him.

One rainy night, on her way home from the library, Elara stumbles upon something she was never meant to see—Lucien locked in a brutal fight against a group of dangerous creatures. In the chaos, she gets injured, and the scent of her blood draws predators lurking in the shadows. To save her, Lucien does the only thing he can: he binds her to him with a drop of his blood, tying their fates together in ways neither of them could have foreseen.

It’s something vampires have sought for centuries, something powerful enough to shake the very foundations of their world. Now, her life will never be the same. Trapped between fear and uncertainty, she has no choice but to stay by Lucien’s side—the only one who can protect her from the darkness closing in.

And as the truth about her blood slowly unravels, Elara is forced to make an impossible choice—become part of a world she was never meant to belong to, or defy fate, even if it means losing Lucien forever.

We are their slaves. We are either their food (quite appetizing, I know), work as servants in their homes, or even worse...their pets. The latter is the most dreadful fate.

Nelly

It has been a decade since our world was forever changed, leaving behind the familiar and plunging us into a new reality. The world as we once knew it has vanished, just like in the movie Planet of the Apes.

Vincent is a vampire. Who would have thought that Dracula was real? However, these are not your typical vampires. No, we are their slaves. We are either their food (quite appetizing, I know), work as servants in their homes, or even worse...their pets. The latter is the most dreadful fate.


Vincent

My current pet is utterly useless; she does absolutely nothing for me. All she does is cry or whine. She's like all of the others. There's no fear or passion in her eyes because they are clouded by the desire for luxuries that being a pet can provide.

Alec nods, confirming, "Yeah, their daughter."

I chuckle, "Well, that should be entertaining. I want her alive." She used to be a teenager, but now she's a woman.

As I delve into her file, I discover that she is the doctor’s daughter. Now, I am considering the possibility of making her my pet instead. Her feisty nature presents an exciting challenge that I am eager to take on. I will take her and take immense pleasure in doing so.

My cock continues to throb at the sight of her. So I unzip my pants, grab my length in my hands, and start to jerk off to my new obsession. She will be mine.

Excerpt:

Seven meters away, I turned to Ivan, who smiled slightly at me.

Five meters away, Isabella and I crossed paths and looked each other straight in the eye. It was as if I saw my reflection. Deep circles under my eyes, trembling hands, and dull eyes filled with fear and sadness. Ten feet away, I lifted my gaze from the ground and looked at the older man for the first time. He must be Dante and Isabella’s father. Goosebumps spread across the back of my neck. Three feet away, Dante reached out and grabbed my elbow. With quick steps, he pulled me back and opened the back door of the car. His face came close to mine and I felt his breath in my ear. Cold and emotionless, he whispered, “Welcome to the family.” Suddenly, he pushed me into the car and slammed the door. My hell began now.

First, they killed my parents. So, I did the most rational thing at the time. I ran. Now I find myself at crossroads, as I am being hunted by werewolves in an unfamiliar city, and I had to weigh up my alternatives, both unappealing. Neither option had any sense of hope for me. I would be condemned.

Fae were the most powerful creatures in the world. As long as we had magic and our mate. Not one of my four mates was a good option, each one as brutal and cruel as the other. Darius was a demonic-Fae, Tobias Vampiric-Fae, then there is Lycus he is a Were-Fae and last was Kalen, Pure Dark-Fae, and they had been hunting me just like these wolves for years. But now, running low on magic and faced with death. I am left with two choices, let off a flare of my magic and beg for help, or die.

Now, I have found myself forced into a bond I never wanted, but I was out of options, and I just had to pray they would have mercy on me.

Zara Cole has spent three years building a case against one man.
Damien Voss. Forty-one years old. Self-made tech billionaire. The kind of man whose name appears in court settlements that get sealed before lunch and in boardrooms where people sign things they later pretend they never signed. On paper he is untouchable. In the circles Zara has spent years moving through quietly, he is something else entirely. A ghost with a net worth that could swallow small countries. A man who destroys careers the way other men change shirts. Quietly, efficiently, and without looking back.
Zara's father was one of those careers.
She was nineteen when it happened. When the company her father built over twenty years was swallowed whole by a larger machine, the paperwork signed in the middle of the night, the assets stripped, her father left with nothing but debt and a silence he never fully recovered from. Nobody could prove who pulled the strings. Nobody tried very hard. Zara has been trying ever since.
Now she is twenty-six, sharp enough to cut glass, and three years deep into an investigation that has cost her a stable job, two relationships, and more sleep than she can count. She has the shell companies. She has the paper trail. What she does not have is access. Not the kind that matters. Not the kind that gets her inside the building, inside the meetings, inside the man himself.
There is a job opening at Voss Industries. Corporate communications director. It is almost too perfect. And when Zara walks into that interview, Damien Voss looks at her across that desk with those grey unreadable eyes and slides a contract toward her, she is certain she has played this exactly right.
She has no idea he has been waiting for her.

After returning home from his time in the Navy, he arrives home to the Cajuns' clubhouse to find his Light on the couch.
Just as he finds her, he learns that she's off limits. She's the daughter of a sister motorcycle club president.
She is forbidden.


Camille has spent the majority of her life not fitting in. She has a close-knit group of friends, but not much more.
She has spent the majority of her high school years living at the Shack, the largest of the clubhouses for the Devil's Saints. On a night when she could not sleep, she met a man who did not see a freak, but a beautiful woman.
Moving to Louisianna, she discovers that he's older than she thought. She has to stay away from the one man that she wants.
What happens when they can't stay away? When they both want what is forbidden?


Darkness sat down on the couch next to her. “I never got your name.”
“Camille.” She smiled and closed the book on the bookmark. “And you’re Darkness.”
“I am.” Unable to help himself, he reached out and gently touched her cheek. “You’re just as pretty as I remember.”
She blushed under his gaze, but never looked away. Darkness leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. He kept the kiss light, afraid if he didn’t, he would go too far.

"The game hasn't even begun. Your husband would feel your pain in hell by the time we're done playing."
Hands deep in my pocket, I stroll toward Liliana with the deliberate pace of a predator.
"Last chance," I warn, "Where is your husband Kyle?"
She gives a lopsided grin. Suddenly, she spits into my eyes. Momentarily, I am blinded by her actions.
It all happens so fast. Just as I open my eyes, a fierce cry leaves her lips. She rears her head back and slams it forward with her forehead crashing into mine. The impact jars my skull.
Bone crunches and pain explodes around my head. Her headbutt is vicious. I can tell it was aimed at breaking my nose.
"Fuck!" I grind out, shaking my head to clear my vision and ease the pain. My fingers fly to my nose to check for crimson flowing.
Nothing.
I glare at her, inches away from wrapping my fingers around her thin neck and wringing it till it snaps.
"You're… quite… fierce." I manage in a strained voice.
She struggles with a firm kick on my shin. My hold tightens so hard that she winces. "Don't bother," I advise. "You're never getting out of here."


Liliana Hoxha's fairytale life shatters when her sister is killed and her husband is kidnapped and brutally murdered.
