I know I’ll enjoy breaking you.”

“You’ll have to kill me first.”

“Who says I won’t?”

If only I had maced him the moment I saw him.

I don't dance because I love it. I dance because I'm a debt collector for my own soul.
My sister hasn't walked in twelve months. That's my fault. I was the one behind the wheel, and I was the one who walked away without a scratch while Lumi lost the use of her legs.

He is reminded daily of his father’s hatred for him paving the way for the rest of his family to become the same.
By adulthood, his father’s hatred and abuse towards him has spilled over into the rest of the pack making him the scapegoat for those with the sadistic need to see him suffer. The rest are simply too afraid to even look his way leaving him little in the way of friends or family to turn to.

"Once upon a time,

In a Land not so far away,

They would commit a heinous crime,

Against the Queen of Hidden Fae..."

Daphne Myrh has always been considered the most beautiful of her sisters, maybe even, of the entire village. When her father is sentenced to death, Daphne's love for her sisters will push her into the palace. She will offer her own life, for her fathers.

Ash has been living in the palace for twenty years awaiting an opportunity to enact his revenge on the old human king. Posing as a human for as long as he has, is getting boring until he meets the kingdom's hidden beauty. The farmer's daughter. The moment he sees her, he knows that she is the one. The key to his vengeance. The perfect tribute sparking an act of war and unleashing a terrible magic upon the mortal realm.

There are three phases needed to conjure this madness.

I. Find a beautiful mortal to enchant the king.

II. Impregnate the tribute with Royal Blood.

III. Sacrifice her on the Ninth Moon of her pregnancy.

The only thing this plan doesn't call for...

Is for the girl to fall in love with her killer. And for the killer, to fall in love with her.

As she reached the steps of her apartment building, a soft, melodic laugh echoed behind her. Aria spun around, but the street was empty. Only the lingering scent of wild roses and the fading notes of an impossible song hinted at the presence that had been there moments before.

"What if I want to escape?"

I looked at the man before me.

He was Alexei Cardis, vampire prince, and the one who would sacrifice me with his own hands at the Eclipse Ritual.

"Then escape," he said, lowering his gaze to meet mine, his tone calm. "Just don't get caught."

—

At seven years old, I was brought into this vampire castle.

From that day on, I had the best teachers, and the most dangerous guardian.

Alexei taught me to read, taught me to calculate, taught me how to survive amid lies and conspiracies.

But he never told me—that the meaning of my existence was to become the offering on the altar.

As the Eclipse Ritual drew closer, I began searching for a way to survive.

Forging evidence, sowing discord among nobles, stealing weapons, planning my escape.

Everyone wanted to use me.

Everyone wanted me dead.

Only Alexei was different.

He stopped others from getting close to me again and again, yet pushed me toward my destined fate with his own hands.

I could no longer understand him.

Until later, when I discovered a secret hidden in a wooden box.

It turned out that behind all these years of what I thought was captivity and exploitation, there was another, more dangerous emotion.

But if he truly cared about me—

Why would he raise me only to personally send me to the altar?

And when the night of sacrifice arrives,

Will I kill him and escape to freedom,

Or will he, for the sake of the entire vampire race, kill me with his own hands?

"You dare touch my mate!? You should not have touched what is MINE."
"My King, I didn't know she was you..your mate!" my attacker stutters out. I don't need to see his aura to feel the very real fear permeate the air.

*****Velvet was left in the mortal world and has no idea what her true identity is. Her power is limited in the mortal realm.

Lucia was destined to spend her life with Kaden; everyone knew it as a fact. Yet, on the day of the mating ritual, he chose another woman to be his Luna, instead of his predestined mate.

Feeling rejected and humiliated, Lucia resolved to leave. The only problem was that despite not wanting her, Kaden refused to let her go. He claimed he would rather die than watch her walk away.

A mysterious man who has entered her life became her second-chance mate, will he be strong enough to protect her from Kaden's irrational behavior? Is he truly a better option? Will Lucia find acceptance in her new home?

Hidden all her life in the slums of Emberveil, Aerith has one rule: never let the dragons see her eyes. Fae are extinct, hunted, burned, and erased from the kingdom. Or so everyone believes. But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, when her forbidden magic stirs awake and her grandmother falls deathly ill, Aerith breaks the one rule meant to keep her safe. She enters the royal dragon pharmacy… and collides with a werewolf princess who drags her straight to the dungeon. There, in the deepest shadows of the palace, the youngest dragon prince sees her glowing eyes and instantly knows what she is. A fae. A secret the entire kingdom would kill for. What would be her fate? Another dead Fae? Or the Last Dragon's Fae Queen?

“Why are you here again?” I demanded, unable to stop my eyes from rolling as I stepped back. Lucien followed anyway, irritation flickering across his face. “Have you forgotten this is my personal space? It’s disrespectful,” he said, voice low and authoritative. I knew exactly what he meant. I snorted. “Oh, please. If I didn’t know any better, I would think you were obsessed with me, Lucien.” His eyes darkened. “I don’t think you should speak to a prince like that. Perhaps titles are in order.” “Which one should I use?” I shot back. “Prince? Dickhead? Asshole? Or stalker?” A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. “Maybe I should show you the one title I want you to use.” Before I could react, his hand closed around my chin, tilting my face up. His lips crashed into mine, hard, claiming, breath-stealing. When he finally pulled back, his voice was a rough whisper against my lips. “You could call me yours… because you are mine.”

“I would never choose you.”
He leaned closer, so close she could feel the warmth of his breath brushing her cheek, could feel the danger that lay beneath the calm.
“You already did, Haven,” he whispered, almost reverently, “The moment you looked at me… and lived. And I will do anything to keep you safe. Including burning down the entire continent.”
..
They say the rains only fall without end when the Dragon King descends from the skies and claims his bride.

Haven despises him for ripping her from everything she’s ever known. She fights him with every breath, every curse, every act of defiance.

Yet the fire between them burns hotter than her hatred, drawing her helplessly toward the very monster she swore to destroy.

When strange powers awaken inside her and haunting visions flood her dreams, Haven learns the devastating truth: she is the lost daughter of the last fae princess — and the prophesied Fae Queen destined to either save or doom the realm.

She is the only fae in over a thousand years to master the forbidden elements beyond earth. With this rare and deadly power awakening, she holds the key to taming the ancient magic threatening to devour the world.

But as dark forces gather and the seal containing catastrophic destruction begins to fracture, Haven faces an impossible choice:

Master the volatile magic that could save the realm… at the risk of it consuming her from within.

Or surrender to the Dragon King she has unwillingly come to love… and watch the world crumble.

One girl. One forbidden prophecy. One love powerful enough to either end everything , or give rise to a new era.

His father died broke and broken. Zed Chen knows who's responsible.
One race. One torn mask. Now the Iron Wolves know his face — and their VP is the one holding his debt.
Dax Steele doesn't look like the enemy. That's what makes her dangerous.
She wants him to race for her club. He wants answers about his father. Neither of them planned on needing the other to survive.
But the deeper Zed rides into her world, the more the story he grew up believing starts to crack. His father wasn't just a victim. Dax isn't just a villain. And the people they're both after won't stop until one of them is in the ground.

THE LAST RAID TEAM
He was the weakest member. They left him to die. That was their mistake.
Ryn Castel was always the odd one out, a C-rank scout in one of the nation's top guilds, kept on the roster only because the Guild Master was his oldest friend. He knew it. Everyone knew it.
So when the Iron Void Guild descended into the Abyssal Vault, a Rank S dungeon with zero successful clears, Ryn expected to prove himself.
He didn't expect to watch forty-nine people die in eleven minutes.
He didn't expect to watch his best friend walk out the gate and seal it behind him.
And he didn't expect the dungeon to send him a notification no living hunter had ever received.
[FORSAKEN PROTOCOL ACTIVATED] Survival rate of all previous Forsaken entities: 0.0%. Do you accept?
He accepted.
Not to survive. Not to escape.
To make one man look him in the eye again from the wrong end of everything Ryn was about to become.
Forty floors. No party. No healer. Broken gear. And a class the system has never seen before, one that grows stronger with every person he's lost, and Ryn has lost forty-nine.
The world above thinks he's dead.
They have no idea what's coming back up.

I was just trying to make it to graduation.
Classes by day, coffee shop by night, that was my life. No parents. No foster homes. Just me, surviving on scraps of hope and caffeine.

But one walk home changed everything.

One moment, I was on the phone with my best friend. The next, a hand was clamped over my mouth, the world spinning as something sharp sank deep into my skin. I should’ve died right there on that cold, dark street. But death never came.

Instead… I woke up hungry.

Not the kind of hunger food fixes. This was deeper, darker — and it came with fangs and cravings I swore I’d never have. I despised humans for the way they used, abandoned, and broke people like me. Now? They’re the only thing that keeps me alive.

I never asked to become a monster.
But that’s exactly what I am.

I would often find myself staring into my son Leon's eyes, lost in thought.
One, a deep azure blue, was inherited from his father. The other, however, was amber.
I couldn't understand it. While Leon's lineage is indeed mixed, his other eye should have been silver—the mark of my bloodline, the symbol of the royal werewolf lineage.
Yet it wasn't. This question had haunted me for five years.
Then, by chance, I came across an ancient book in my husband Carlisle's study. It detailed the hereditary rules of eye color for the royal werewolf line:
Regardless of which race they intermarry with, the direct descendants of the royal werewolves will always inherit at least one distinctive eye.
This meant that a son I bore would definitely have silver pupils.
My hands began to tremble uncontrollably. I shared my fear—that we might have brought home the wrong child—with Carlisle.
He flew into a rage, snatched the book from my hands, and threw it into the fireplace.
"Selene, are you doubting my fidelity? Or suspecting that our son isn't your own? If Leon knew you doubted him, his heart would be shattered."
Carlisle stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Watching his retreating figure, my heart grew cold, piece by piece.
His reaction confirmed my worst fear, the one I desperately wanted to deny.
With the full moon just seven days away, I decided to abandon the plan of taking Leon back to the royal werewolf clan.

My mother had told me a story about a war that happened on Earth between realms eight hundred years ago. According to her, this war broke out because the dragons, being the strongest, wanted to be the ruling realm across the whole earth, and the other species refused to be under them.

The dragons being so destructive was bound to destroy every other species that were against them ruling, be it lycans, werewolves, vampires, humans, faes, elves, griffins, and many others. But the goddess mother of the fae sealed the Dragon Sovereign, who was the mightiest of the dragons, the oldest among species, under the ground.

Since then, dragons have stopped existing on Earth.

A year after the war, my clan was prosecuted for a traitorous act against the fae realm, and were being executed every four weeks, until now that my brother was the only one they thought remained in the clan, then there was the powerless me whom they don't know about and could never save herself from danger, regardless, I was a fae.

Now I'm in a dilemma while trying to save my brother from being slaughtered, and this is because I awakened the Dragon Sovereign who had been sealed under the ground for eight hundred years.

This book is dark. It contains torture, explicit chapters (not from the beginning), and some other triggers. Beware, dear reader!

Elara, the daughter of Nikolas and Saphira, has been sheltered and protected throughout her life from dangers that came for her, but she doesn’t see it that way.

Things worsen when she is told she will be taking a mate through the Matchmaker, who will be the face of the pack while she helps in the background. Feeling like she has no other choice, Elara decides to run away, where she meets Kaelan, the Alpha Werewolf from the forgotten pack. A bond begins to form, but Elara has not been truthful about who she is, and now she faces a difficult choice. Should she reveal her true identity and risk everything, or return home and figure out what happened to the parents she grew up hearing about?

Thank you and I hope you enjoy.

I thought the worst thing that could happen to me was discovering my boyfriend didn’t love me anymore.

Then a nightmare creature tried to kill me in a dark New York alley.

The only person who believed what I saw was Alexander Sterling—my impossibly wealthy, terrifyingly handsome boss. One touch from him should have erased my memory. Instead, it revealed a secret hidden beneath my skin and shattered everything I thought I knew about myself.

Because Alexander isn’t human.

He’s a Fae Prince. Five hundred years old. Powerful enough to command ancient magic, rule a hidden kingdom, and make even monsters fear his name.

And according to him, I’m the key to a prophecy that could tear apart the barrier between the human world and the Fae realm.

Overnight, my ordinary life disappears. I’m forced into Alexander’s enchanted estate, surrounded by winged warriors, talking gargoyles, deadly court politics, and magic I can barely control. The Fae Council wants me eliminated before my power awakens.

Alexander refuses to let that happen.

The cold, ruthless prince who intimidates judges, billionaires, and supernatural creatures alike becomes my protector, my teacher…and the one man capable of making my heart race with a single glance.

The closer we grow, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the sparks between us. But every stolen touch awakens something ancient, something dangerous. A bond neither of us fully understands.

If I fail to master the power inside me, two worlds could fall.

And if I surrender to the prince who swears I belong to him?

I might lose my heart long before I lose my life.

The first time Aura shattered a sacred relic, she was six years old. Her coven never forgave her.

Spells fail in her presence. Magic bends. Candles die the moment she enters a room. For nineteen years, she has survived the fear of her own people by asking no questions — until the night vampires descend from the mountains of Sol Diminium and drag her into the heart of their kingdom.

Hidden within forbidden journals is the truth of her birth: Aura is not simply a witch.

She is something the gods never intended to exist.

Now hunted by immortal factions who would rather see her dead than free, Aura finds herself entangled with Xarion Dravenor — the cold, dangerous vampire prince whose cursed body reacts to her in impossible ways. His hunger stills at her touch. His curse… pauses.

He needs her to find a cure for his dying kind. She needs him to reach the one relic that might keep her from burning alive from the inside out.

Their alliance is a bargain written in blood and desperation.
But the road east runs through lycan territory, ancient sanctuaries, and a valley overrun by ravenous vampires with no humanity left. Every step draws them deeper into a conspiracy older than the war itself — and closer to a truth that could shatter the balance of the world.

Because when gods feud, monsters rise.

And Aura may be the most terrifying one of all.

A torrential downpour of strong acid flooded the city, and mutated sea monsters slaughtered buildings. When Chloe, along with burly men from the rugby team, wielding fire axes, frantically smashed down the door, attempting to burn me alive and steal my bottled water, I had already welded the security door firmly into the load-bearing wall.
Faced with the pried-open door, I didn't waste any words and directly used a 20,000-volt electric spear to pierce the strong man's thigh! Then, I coldly pushed the blood-soaked floor outside.
The pungent smell of blood instantly attracted the skeletal behemoths from the water, turning the corridor into a horrific slaughterhouse. I listened coldly to their desperate screams in front of the monitor.
In this desolate wasteland, you think you can survive by stepping on me? Then feed the monsters with your flesh and blood !

They told me the baby was gone, but they didn't tell me my heart was being carved out, too.

I woke up on the operating table, paralyzed. Through my blurred vision, I saw my beloved husband, Marco, trembling with excitement as he held my medical chart.

"Her blood is perfect," he whispered. "It is a perfect match for Isabella. We can proceed with the transplant now."

"Finally. It wasn't in vain that I brought her back." My revered father let out a sigh of relief. "If it weren't for this day, how would someone who wandered outside for so many years be qualified to step into this house again?"

When my husband said "I love you," he actually meant "Your heart is perfect for the woman I truly love."

I couldn't scream; I couldn't move.

I could only watch helplessly as the silver scalpel pierced toward my chest, while my sister, Isabella, lay on the operating table next to me, smiling in her sleep.

I was never a long-lost daughter, nor was I a beloved wife.

I was just a mobile blood bank waiting to be slaughtered.
