My life has been a lie.

"Your mother, Amy, was an ER nurse at a local hospital in New Jersey. She was beautiful, had a good heart and was always ready to save a life. 'A life gone is one life too many.' That's what she would always say whenever I tried to ask her to spend more time with me. When she told me she was pregnant with you, I rejected the pregnancy. It was the biggest mistake of my life. When I finally realized this, it was too late." My dad sighed. "I know what you're thinking, Diana. Why didn't I want you at first, right?" I nodded my head.

"We aren't Sullivans. My real name is Lucas Brent Lockwood. Alpha of a wealthy pack situated in New Jersey and New York. I am werewolf. Your mother was human which makes you what they call a half-breed. Back then, it was forbidden for a wolf to consort with a human and produce an offspring. You were usually banished from the pack for that...to live as rogues."

"I was about to be the first Alpha to break that rule, to take your mother as my mate, my Luna. My father and brother conspired together so that wouldn't happen. They killed your mother hoping you would die with her. When you survived, they killed your mother's human family in order to kill you. I, your Uncle Mike and another Alpha from a neighboring pack saved you from the massacre. Since then, we have been in hiding, hoping my former pack would not come looking for us."

"Dad, did they try to kill me for being a half-breed?"

"No, Diana. They tried to kill you because you are my heir. You are destined to be Alpha of the Lotus Pack."

I touch my necklace. Nothing is known about my biological parents. I only have this necklace as an heirloom. The pendant is shaped into a crescent moon with a star on the tip where a diamond lays in the center. Engraved on it is some writing I can't read. Just like my pendant, I also have a crescent-shaped birthmark with a star on my hip. My mom said it might go away in time like most birthmarks do. Mine seems to have become more prominent over the years. I sometimes imagine it sparkles.

The wind picks up suddenly, swirling around me and I smell it. The scent of fresh cut grass and wood shavings. Two of my favorite things.

"Do you smell that, my child? Follow it," says a woman's voice.

I sat there thinking against it. The first time I heard voices, I freaked out my mom. She wanted me to see a psychiatrist because hearing voices isn't a good sign. I explained they were guiding me to do things. My mom said, "Ok, but before you do whatever these voices tell you to do, sit down and think before you do. AND, if it becomes too much to handle, tell me so we can go see an expert." So far, whatever I hear, hasn't gotten me into trouble. So why not follow that scent? As the wind picks up again, I jump off the fence and follow the scent.

What will Hope find? Is she ready to learn the truth?

Magic decides your worth.
Fire decides your fate.
And fate never asks for permission.

Serafina of the Dust-Class has only one purpose left in her life: keep her younger brother alive. In a world where medicine is reserved for the powerful and magic determines who matters, desperation drives her to the Veiled Sanctum—a forbidden shrine whispered to grant miracles at a price no sane person would pay.

She is willing to pay it.
What she awakens is not a miracle.

Azerath—the legendary World-End Dragon—rises from centuries of slumber, ancient and terrifying, bound by an oath older than the Empire itself. An oath that names Serafina as his promised mate.

Not a choice she made. Not a destiny she wanted. A bond forged in fire and blood, waiting to be claimed.

To Azerath, the bond is sacred—a promise he has waited lifetimes to honor.

To Serafina, it is a chain.

As Imperials hunt her for the power she carries and Collectors close in on her dying brother, Serafina must learn to survive a world that now sees her as leverage. Azerath offers loyalty, protection, and a devotion that borders on reverence—but love is the last thing Serafina is ready to surrender.

She wanted a miracle.
She got a dragon.
And a bond that could either save the world… or end it.

Because the truth is far more dangerous than the legends claim:
Azerath did not wake to destroy the world.
He woke for her.

“I would end the world for you,” he said.
“Then don’t,” Serafina replied.
“Live with me instead.”

"I know you can feel the electricity between us," Drew said while running his fingers down my neck all the way to the top of my breasts. My nipples hardened and protruded through my white bikini top while my breath quickened. His fingers aroused something deep within me, something I have never known before.

The corners of his lips curved into a mischievous smile, pleased of my reaction to his touch. He bent down and whispered in my ear; his warm breath sending shivers down my spine.

"Don't fight it, Fire. You know it as well as I do, my sweet. We were meant to be."

A blue-eyed she-wolf was prophesied to become the Enchantress of the Blue Star of Aludra. After hundreds of years and after a long line of sons, finally a daughter was born, blessed with blue eyes. Her name...Sapphire Turner.

After the death of her parents, she was entrusted to an unexpected ally who would train her to be an assassin of an ancient enemy who has been at war with the wolves for centuries. Fire was determined to fight for the survival of her kind. She was the best in her craft and she always worked alone, assisted remotely by her aunt.

However, during an assignment to retrieve the Flaming Sword, an artifact of importance to the wolves, she met Drew Drago, a wealthy businessman, and everything she was fighting for now had a whole new meaning.

Will Fire and Drew's love continue on amidst the fight for the preservation of the wolves' existence?

*I didn't know that night would become my worst nightmare. *

It was my junior year in high school. After two years of being bullied, I was now finally accepted by my peers. I had finally blossomed into a lady and now everyone wanted to become my friend. But... the thing happened.

I will never forget what happened to me that night.

I will never forget that I wasn't given the justice I deserved.

I want revenge. I want them dead...

So do my three lovers. The Underbosses of the Blood Disciples.



I knew Xavier was in love with Joy the moment he met her. However, it didn't stop me or Cristos from falling in love with her too.

"I doubt an empire will come crushing down because we love the same girl," I said. De Luca looked at me, shocked.



"Do you guys steal money from other people?" I asked, completely shocked at his revelation. I knew Cristos was good with computers and encryption, I just didn't know how far it went.

"Sometimes. Sometimes we manipulate, troll, steal incriminating evidence. The usual."

"Our fake ID's...did you make them?" I asked. I was impressed because they looked so real. "Judging from the monitors, it looks like a call center. How could you have the capital? The security to work without even being scared of law enforcement?"

"Sebastian, Xavier and I were born into this kind of life. Since we were little, we were trained to work as a unit just like our fathers. Mama Rose isn't just a simple housewife. She is also part of the organization and sits as a third high ranking official," Cristos explained. "Sebastian, Xavier and I are underbosses of the Blood Disciples, the ruling party of the West Coast Mafia. Our fathers are the bosses while our mothers and sisters are consiglieres. We are in training to become the bosses once our fathers retire. Sebastian is in charge of merchandise, ports, and businesses while Xavier handles the trash. I, on the other hand, am in charge of the virtual world. Anything digital goes through me."

(The prologue was written by the third POV; the following chapters by the first POV.)

She is human; he is a wolf.
Evie Howell has loved Draven Blake since they were thirteen. Unaware of the supernatural world, she is drawn into a realm far beyond her understanding.
Draven Blake, the self-proclaimed Alpha Lord, is a powerful, wealthy wolf determined to forge his own destiny. Though he denies Evie is his fated mate, he treasures her as his closest friend. For fifteen years, she stays by his side, hoping their bond will blossom into love.
One passionate night, Evie’s dream seems to come true. Entranced by Draven’s piercing gaze, she yields to his fervent kisses and commanding touch.
“You taste even better than I imagined, Evie,” he growls, his voice thick with desire. “I’ll make you come so many times, you’ll forget other men exist.”
His words ignite her heart, but to her dismay, was the wolf’s primal hunger speaking, not the man she loves.
Meanwhile, Draven’s charismatic uncle, Maverick Blake, seeks Draven’s Alpha Spark to rule all wolves. Having killed Draven’s father for his spark, Maverick now targets Draven. Yet he faces a dilemma: he lacks the strength to defeat Draven in combat. Instead, he plans to kill Draven’s mate, believing it will drive him into madness and leave him vulnerable enough to be killed. This threat strengthens Draven’s resolve to avoid claiming a mate.
To Evie, Draven is a noble hero, and Maverick a ruthless villain. But appearances deceive.
Shattered by Draven’s hidden ruthlessness and ambition, Evie realizes the man she loved is a lie. The uncle she feared is not the monster she thought. Heartbroken, she leaves Draven to build a life of her own.
Yet fate complicates her path. Evie soon learns she is pregnant—and finds herself in the arms of Maverick, the man she once believed wanted her dead.

Agent Casey Hastings' sister has gone missing.

Her sister, Kimberly, is a glamorous blonde. The two rarely contacted each other, and Casey was shocked to learn that Kimberly was engaged to Hank Williamson, son of wealthy State Senator Henry Williamson II, with the wedding scheduled for October—a fact Kimberly had never mentioned in their few conversations.

Naturally cautious Casey understood her sister's secret, but given the Williamson family's prominent status, the situation became increasingly perplexing.

After meeting the Williamson family—the charismatic Senator Henry, the aloof matriarch Devine, and their charming son Hank—Casey sensed an unease beneath their welcoming exteriors.

Her investigation led her to the Ryder brothers. The enigmatic Williamson family's security chief, Ace, was a brooding and reserved individual; his guarded demeanor hinted at hidden family secrets. Archer, her brother, possessed a rebellious charm; his easy smile was both disarming and captivating. Despite her suspicions about Ace's motives, Casey was irresistibly drawn to him, and Archer's allure only exacerbated her infatuation.

The local sheriff linked Kimberly's disappearance to a series of crimes, but Casey's intuition pointed to the Williamsons. Torn between her affection for the Ryder brothers and her duty, she had to race against time to uncover the truth before it was too late.

Then, one night, a body was discovered… and her investigation plunged into a chilling new frontier.

When Valentine Sutton survives the night meant to kill her, she doesn’t come back unchanged.

Left bleeding beneath a full moon, the heir to Sutton Shipping is given a brutal gift—life, bound to a curse that sharpens her senses, her instincts, and her hunger for truth. As the night deepens, Valentine must uncover who ordered her death before the moon fades and her advantage disappears.

Moving through polished ballrooms and shadowed forests alike, she learns that wealth cannot protect her from betrayal—and family is often the most dangerous enemy of all.

Valentine’s Bite is a story of inheritance, vengeance, and the moment a woman decides she will never be prey again.
