I knew there was no escaping it. My father’s sins would be my undoing. He was a wicked man, feared and hated by many, and now that he was dead, the weight of his crimes had fallen squarely on me. I didn’t even have the chance to grieve—or to breathe—before his Beta dragged me away from the south, from everything I’d ever known.
I was supposed to be their Alpha. That was my birthright. But it didn’t matter. The pack had other plans for me, and being their leader wasn’t one of them. My father’s Beta delivered me to the northern Alphas, the very men who despised my father the most. And that’s when I learned the cruellest truth: they were my mates. But they didn’t want me.

In the velvet shadows of Vancouver’s most dangerous secrets, RedLine — an underground club pulsing with magic, blood, and desire — is where vampires come to indulge. But when Katalim, a woman cloaked in mystery, steps into this world, everything changes.

Locked away for years, she’s finally free — but not safe. Katalim isn’t just a witch — she’s a weapon. Her power? The ability to channel raw sexual energy, bending it to her will. It’s intoxicating, addictive… and feared.

Enter Ryder Cornwall — cold, untouchable, and loyal only to the Coven. He’s assigned to protect her. But from the moment he tastes her magic, he wants more. Her scent drives him mad. Her secrets haunt him. And her body? It might just ruin him.

As their chemistry erupts into obsession, enemies close in. Katalim’s past is darker than anyone imagined. And Ryder must decide — break every rule for her, or watch her be claimed by a monster from the shadows.

"You don't what?" I dared him.

"I don't... I don't know what you're saying" He stuttered.

"You're not even sure." I shook my head. "Would you choose me over her?"

"Vanessa..." Richard called out

"Answer me!" I yelled

"I don't know okay? I don't know!" He yelled back.

Until he meets her.

When Amelia crosses paths with the enigmatic billionaire Luca, an intoxicating, forbidden game of cat and mouse begins.

"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.

Caspian Storm, son of the alpha of the Nightshade pack, befriended her when they were both little, and they've been inseparable ever since.

Elowyn Hale has spent her entire life being invisible.

Raised in the pack orphanage and labeled an omega without a wolf, she expects nothing from fate—especially not kindness. When she is sent to the Lycan royal palace as part of a servant offering, Elowyn believes she’s trading one form of obscurity for another.

Crown Prince Kael Elaris is everything Elowyn is not. Powerful, ruthless, and born to rule. When fate binds them together, Kael refuses to accept an omega servant as his mate.

As strange changes begin awakening inside Elowyn and dangerous secrets surface within the royal court, both are forced to confront a truth neither of them wants to face.

She was never meant to be powerless and he was never meant to let her go.

They say debt is a chain. Mine is a noose—wrapped around my neck by the man I once kissed.

I was Scarlet Blair: wealth, beauty, a life polished to perfection. Then my father’s gambling addiction drowned us in red ink. And the price of his mistakes? Me.

That night at the club, I thought Roman was just a stranger—cold eyes, a jawline sharp enough to cut, hands that felt like sin. I didn’t know he was the king of the city’s underworld. The man my father owed $3 million. The monster who’d come to collect.

Now I live in his penthouse prison. Every door locked. Every move watched. He calls it “protection.” I call it captivity. When his grandfather demands we marry to secure his empire? It’s just another chain. A contract. Six months. No feelings. No attachments.

He thinks I’ll break. That obedience is my only option. But I’ve got claws under my silk dresses.

I’ll prove I’m no puppet he can pull strings on.

The night before graduation, a confession post blew up the school forum:
“Daphne, I’m gonna rip up my Harvard offer onstage during commencement to confess to you—my whole college future as my love token.”
The OP bragged nonstop in the comments that he’d locked down the state’s only full-ride Harvard scholarship, his admission was a done deal, and graduation was nothing but a meaningless formality anyway.
The attached photo showed their interlaced hands. That old burn scar on his forearm—the one he’d claimed he got saving me—stared back like a chain that’s trapped me for ten years straight.
I poured every cent, every spare hour and all my academic talent into building up his profile just to get him into Harvard. I even voluntarily stepped down from the scholarship race and passed the spot to him, turning down my own dream school’s interview in the process.
