Fate can be a funny thing. One minute, you are the beloved daughter of a powerful alpha, and the next, you're nothing more than a tool used to join forces with another strong pack. And if you don't go along with what is expected of you, the one who is using you for personal gain will make your life a living hell and destroy anything that is precious to you.Because of this, Denali Ozera finds herself married to the cold and ruthless Rosco Torres, alpha of the Crystal Fang pack and enemy not only to her, but her entire family. But by some weird twist of fate, Rosco isn't what others say he is, and he is even willing to help Denali get back everything that was meant to be hers.Together, Denali and Rosco devise a plan to destroy Denali's father and her stepmother and sister. All Rosco asks for in return is Denali's mind, body, and soul.

Celeste Ashford believed she had left her former life behind, and Caspian Hayes, the man whose name used to send her heart racing until the day she found herself standing outside his door. However, as her family's house hovers on the brink of foreclosure, fate pulls him back into her life. Seizing the opportunity to right the past, Caspian makes her a disturbing offer: if she becomes his wife until he succeeds his father as head of the empire, he’ll save her house.

Years earlier, Celeste had disappeared from his life at his most vulnerable moment. Now, Caspian’s resentment is deep, but so is his desire. Bound by debt and obligation, they sail a treacherous sea of corporate demands, family meddling and smouldering emotions neither can ignore. When vengeance collides with yearning and secrets unspool in the unrelenting desert heat, they must each wrestle with what matters more: punishing the sins of the past or creating a love that might redefine their futures.

After escaping the brutalities of her pack, the rogue she-wolf is only interested in protecting those she cares for. While protecting the innocents during a royal raid, she runs into a wolf claiming to be the Alpha King and worse yet, he claims she is his Mate. She barely escaped that life alive and has been living as a human since she was a teenager and no one was going to make her go back.

Little did she know how much both worlds need her to bring peace and true freedom.

"I'm losing you," Rhett growled, his fingers digging possessively into my flesh. "What's so fascinating in that head of yours?"

I looked up at him, taking in the moonlight that carved shadows across his sculpted chest.

"Just imagining," I replied with deliberate provocation.

His eyebrow arched. "Imagining what exactly?"

I ran my fingertips down his chest, enjoying the way his muscles tensed under my touch. "Imagining a man more devoted and skilled than you."

His face darkened, jaw clenching. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

I realized I'd pushed too far and fell silent, giving him a crooked smile before leaning up to kiss him. He responded hungrily, his anger transforming into something more primal.

He lowered his head, mouth replacing fingers as he parted my thighs wider. His tongue traced deliberate patterns, alternating between broad strokes and precise flicks that made my hips buck involuntarily.


When I married the notorious Rhett Hayes, I thought I'd found my forever. Instead, I discovered I was just another conquest in his collection. For two years, I watched him charm other women while keeping me as his wife in name only, my heart breaking with each betrayal.

The day I finally placed divorce papers in his hands, something changed. His eyes—always cold and calculating—suddenly burned with an intensity I'd never seen. "You're the only one I've ever loved," he whispered, his voice raw. "Everything else was a necessary deception. There are people who would hurt you to get to me."

I didn't believe him—until the attack came. As bullets shattered our windows and masked figures stormed our home, I glimpsed the truth behind his lies. Now, trapped between deadly enemies and the man I'm no longer sure I know, I'm discovering that Rhett's dangerous world is far more complex than I imagined, and the depth of his love more profound than I dared hope.

She was born cursed and silenced. He was born cursed and destined to lose everything.

Vanessa, the mute runt of a cursed litter, has only ever known cruelty and abuse. Her voice stolen by a witch’s spell, her freedom crushed by a brutal father, she’s been promised to a monster she doesn’t want. But fate intervenes when she’s left for dead—bleeding, broken, and bound—only to be rescued by Alpha Alfred of the Shadow Pack.
Alfred, fighting against a generational curse that has doomed his brothers to remain wolves forever, never expected his fated mate to be a fragile girl on the brink of death. But the moment he breathes in her scent, everything changes.
Together, they must confront the past, survive betrayal, and uncover the true key to breaking the curses that bind them. Will their bond be strong enough to save them both?

“You think you can live without me?” Derek’s voice was low, with a suggestion of something dark, something dangerous.

I should’ve backed away. I should’ve been scared. But instead heat curled in my stomach as he slammed me against the wall and pressed up against his body against mine.

“I don’t need you,” I whispered, even as my breath stuttered when his fingers dragged a slow, torturous line down my arm.

He grinned, eyes of gold pinning to mine as if taunting me to refuse we were shared the same very air. “Liar.”

His lips crushed against mine, stealing my air, stealing my resolve. He tasted like fire and fury, like a war I was already losing. My fingers hold his shirt, torn between pushing him away and pulling him closer to me.

"You are mine, Claire," he growled against my throat, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin there. "Whether you run or not."

But I wasn’t the same weak I once was. I had fought for my freedom. And no matter how much my body betrayed me, I wasn’t sure I was ready to give it up again.

Not even for him.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.

"You're beautiful when you're dangerous," he murmured, ice-blue eyes burning into mine as shadows writhed around my feet.
"I don't need another Alpha who thinks he owns me," I snapped, yet stepped closer, drawn by his raw power.
His hand caught my wrist, thumb tracing the silver chain marks Magnus had left. "Who dared mark what's mine?"
Heat pooled low in my stomach at his possessive words. "I'm not yours."
"Your racing pulse says otherwise." His thumb found my heartbeat, and I couldn't suppress the soft gasp that escaped.
"Let go," I breathed, even as I leaned into his touch.
"Make me." His other hand slid to my waist, pulling me against his hard chest. "Tell me you don't want this."
The lie died on my lips as his scent made my head spin with need.


Nephele survived two years as Magnus's captive Luna, believing she was wolfless trash. While enduring his brutality, her blood was secretly harvested by Ophelia—the woman who raised her. When she finally escapes, she learns the truth: she's the last Shadow Wolf princess, stolen as a baby. Now both want their valuable weapon back.
Half-dead in the forest, she's saved by Kaedan—the boy who once gave her an apple, now the ruthless Frost King. She won't trade one prison for another, but his touch sets her on fire and his protection feels dangerously like home.

But when a job goes wrong, he finds himself captured by a ruthless chief and given an ultimatum—carry out an assassination or die. On the hunt for his target, he stumbles upon a brutal crime in progress and makes a choice that changes everything. He saves Tessa, a young woman on the verge of being destroyed by the same men who murdered her brother. In doing so, Ares seals his fate as a fugitive.

Now hunted from all sides, Ares and Tessa are forced into an uneasy alliance. But Tessa is no ordinary woman—she is a witch, though her magic is weak and unpredictable. As danger closes in, her hidden abilities awaken, drawing them into a world of forgotten legacies and blood-soaked destinies.

When their escape leads them to the kingdom of Mistefell, Ares comes face-to-face with a truth he refuses to believe—he is more than a thief. More than a man. He carries the blood of the lost lycan heir. A power long thought extinct now rages within him, untamed and deadly. As war brews and enemies rise, Ares must choose: run from his past or embrace the beast within.

But he is not the only one with a destiny to fulfill. Tessa’s magic is growing, revealing secrets that could doom or save them all. Together, they must stand against forces determined to see them fall. And in the chaos of war and betrayal, the greatest battle of all will be the one fought within their own hearts.

Blaine proposed a contract marriage to Camilla, which was going to hold validity until his real fiancee opened her eyes, and they all could go back to their various lives. 'Party A shouldn't fall in love with party B, and if any of the parties break this clause, they are going to face a huge penalty'. They both knew that wasn't going to happen, or they thought so.

"Why are you messing around with me? Your job is just look pretty, and be my wife!" the cold man rumbled while glaring at Camilla, and a heavy sigh escaped her lips.

"And that is what I have been doing, Mr. Sanders!" she rattled, but the man hissed, not believing it. "No, you have been doing more. You had been seducing me, and snugging into my mind!" he accused.

"Was that a bad thing? So did you mean I should go away?" Camilla asked, meeting the man's fiery gaze, and she sucked in air when the man's hot palm touched her back. "No, even if you do, I am going to find you with my last breath, because you need to take responsibility for me," he says.

"So what happened to the no falling in love rule," Camilla asked with a solemn look. "Trash it!" he says, crashing his lips on hers.

I never thought my best friend would become the source of my deepest pain.

When Alpha Mason Grey found his true mate, everything changed. One moment, I was the girl he promised forever to. The next, I was invisible—replaced by Luna Stella, a woman as beautiful as fresh snow and twice as cold.

She makes my life miserable when no one's watching. The humiliation, the cruelty, the constant reminders that I don't belong—I endure it all in silence. Because speaking up means losing everything: my home, my pack, my family.

But when Mason banishes me without a second thought, I discover something that changes everything. I'm carrying his child—a secret he'll never know.

He took my heart, my dignity, and my place in the pack. But this baby? This is mine. And I'll protect it with everything I have, even if it means starting over alone.

Little does Mason know, the girl he threw away is stronger than he ever imagined. And one day, he'll realize exactly what he lost.

He died once. No one remembers.

Except Elena.

Years ago, a boy named Samuel drowned. The town mourned and moved on. But when he suddenly reappears—alive and unchanged—Elena is the only one who knows the truth: he shouldn’t be here.

Because she remembers his death. And she remembers the quiet, cold presence of someone else there that day. Someone who let it happen.

Now, time is breaking. Echoes of another life bleed into hers—a life where she is the one who died. And a desperate stranger from that other world is hunting her, not to harm her, but to save her from a fate that’s already written.

To survive, Elena must unravel the only question that matters: Who changed Samuel’s past? And why are they coming for her future?

When a prominent banker is found dead in an apparent suicide, Detective Mira Ellison expects another routine case—until she discovers a black book hidden beneath his chair. Inside are dozens of names: politicians, judges, journalists, even police officers. Some are already dead, their endings ruled accidents or natural causes. Others are still alive… for now.

The book is titled The Shadow Ledger.

As Mira digs deeper, she realizes the ledger is more than a record—it is a prophecy, a contract, a death sentence written in advance. Each name is a debt, and someone in the shadows is making sure those debts are paid in blood.

But then Mira finds her own name inside. Not crossed out. Not yet.

Now, hunted by a faceless syndicate that calls itself The Accountant’s Circle, Mira must race to expose a conspiracy older and darker than the city itself. Every step she takes uncovers another secret, every lead another body. The deeper she goes, the clearer one truth becomes:

Some debts can never be repaid.

And some names were never meant to be read.

His smile was dark, dangerous. "That's exactly what I'm counting on, little witch."
Twenty-four-year-old Seraphine Blackwood thought she was just another broke witch selling protection charms in Chicago, until a demon lord crashed through her window and a vampire warrior kicked down her door, both claiming she's the key to ending a thousand-year war.
Turns out, she's the last Shadow Witch. The one from the prophecy. The one who's supposed to choose which supernatural species survives and which burns.
Now she's trapped between two worlds: the Nightfall Court where brooding vampire Kael Thorne has blood-bonded her without consent, and the Shadow Realm where the dangerously seductive demon lord Azrael offers her the freedom and power she craves. Both want to use her. Both are sworn enemies. And she's falling for them both.
But when the Veil between worlds begins to shatter and an ancient evil rises, Sera realizes the prophecy got it wrong. She's not here to choose a side. She's here to unite them or watch everything burn.
The problem? Her best friend's family betrayed hers centuries ago. The vampire she's bound to has been lying to her. The demon she's falling for is cursed and dying. And the war that's coming will demand a sacrifice she's not sure she can make.
When enemies become lovers, sparks aren't the only things that fly. 🔥

“I don't want the cops.” Thompson resumed. “I want you. You're one of the very best detectives I know,"

A wave of silence passed, causing Thompson to grab his glass and finish whatever drink was left in it. He dropped the glass and turned into his friend one more time.

“I need you to help me find out who killed my wife and took my daughter.” The words poured out of him slowly. And dangerously.

Whoever it was, he was going to sniff them out.

And he was going to make them pay.

Can he dismantle The Calvary, uncover the truth behind his wife’s murder, and rescue his daughter from the shadows before it’s too late?

“They want you dead.” I managed to say, my voice barely audible.

“I don't care!” He yelled.

“Its not possible, the two most powerful Mafia's want you dead Conrad.” The tears I tried so hard to conceal all came pouring down. I didn't want to leave him. I didn't want to go.

“I don't fucking care.” He's words hung tight in the air.” It's you Veronica, I want you.” He whispered the words I so badly longed to hear. “The rest can all burn in hell.”


All he ever knew was pain. She wanted to be his comfort.

Kael: A kind Beta or warrior from Elara's pack who showed her small kindnesses, perhaps feels guilt over her exile.

Thessaly "Thess" Ashenheart is not a princess. She is a mistake—a cursed, magic-less anomaly tucked away in the ruins of her conquered kingdom, Lumenvale. But when her brother is captured, she trades the last scrap of her freedom to the only being terrifying enough to accept the bargain: Davorin Noctis, the Shadow King.

Davorin, the immortal ruler who destroyed her family, is a monster bound by his own curse: the death-touch. A single brush of his skin drains the life from anything it meets. Their alliance is meant to be a political cage, but when the King's death-touch inexplicably fails to kill Thess, the court is thrown into chaos. She is declared the "Sun-Bonded," the subject of a prophecy demanding she fuse her soul and power with the very man she swore to hate.

Trapped in the gothic splendor of the Shadow Realm, Thess must navigate a court riddled with assassins, treachery, and the seductive closeness of a man who is terrifyingly cold and devastatingly vulnerable. As her hidden dream-walking power awakens—the very magic that cursed her—she discovers the devastating truth: Davorin is not the villain; he is a tormented host for The Void Wraith, an ancient cosmic entity clawing its way back to consume the world.

Now, Thess must choose between loyalty to her vengeful family and the desperate love growing for the King who needs her light to survive. With the Void launching a brutal invasion and Davorin slipping into a final, terrifying possession, Thess realizes their only hope lies in completing the impossible Sun-Bond. It's a magical union that demands the sacrifice of their autonomy, their identities, and possibly their lives, performed on a bloody battlefield as their kingdom crumbles.

Can a princess who was born broken merge her soul with the monster who destroyed her world?

"I died once. I won't die twice."

My husband killed me. Me—his wife, his victim, his mistake. But I survived. This time, I'm not just a story. I'm the one writing it.

The system failed me. It protects monsters like him. But justice? That's mine to take.

Some women accept their fate. I'm rewriting mine.

It took me three years to make the man who killed my fiancé fall in love with me.

Every night, I lay in my enemy's arms, listening to him whisper sweet declarations of love in his sleep. He had no idea that the woman beside him was the very avenger he sought, the "insignificant nobody" he'd dismissed so casually.

But I could never replace her—Bianca, his white moonlight, the woman who died five years ago yet still occupied the deepest chambers of his heart. Her photograph hung prominently in the living room like a queen overseeing her domain, watching me—the fraud who dared take her place. Even in our most intimate moments, Marco would drunkenly murmur her name.

"Val, sometimes when I look at you, it's like seeing her..."

Each word was a knife twisting in my heart. I came here for revenge, only to find myself trapped in an even more agonizing prison—I was jealous of a dead woman, jealous of a perfect memory that could never be surpassed.

Marco Santangelo thought he'd found Bianca's perfect replacement, a shadow to fill the void left by his white moonlight. But he was wrong. I am Valentina Rossellini, Alessandro's fiancée, armed with three years of careful preparation, deadly poison, and a shattered heart.

As I walked down the aisle in my wedding dress, I knew this wasn't a wedding—it was Marco's funeral.

But why, as the poison began its work and his life slowly slipped away, did my heart shatter too? Was it because my revenge was finally complete, or because... I had truly fallen in love with this man?

Seven years of love, seven years of waiting, seven years of trust.

I thought I was the most important woman in his life, until I watched him slip a wedding dress onto another woman at the bridal expo, calling me "irrelevant" in front of everyone.

I thought those sweet words were real, until I broke into his house and found that perfect wedding plan—Groom: Cole Matthews, Bride: Blaire Watson, Wedding Date: three months away.

I thought we had a future, until they stood in front of my mother and shattered my seven-year fantasy in the cruelest way possible, until Mom collapsed from a heart attack in my arms.

That's when I finally understood—I was nothing but a pawn in their game from the very beginning. A practice dummy for love, a stepping stone for business secrets.

But Cole Matthews had no idea how dangerous a broken-hearted woman could be.

From the moment he lost his first client, from the moment the FBI knocked on his office door, from the moment Blaire tearfully distanced herself from him on live TV—it was all part of my carefully orchestrated revenge.

In the end, when he was on his knees begging for my forgiveness, I told him:

"Tomorrow you'll receive an acquisition contract. I'm buying your company."

This isn't revenge. This is debt collection.

Seven years of accounts, principal plus interest. Not a penny less.

After I gained the ability to read minds, my senior, who had taken care of me for years, thought: "What a shame I didn't install a camera in her bathroom..."

My senior was handsome, wealthy, and had a gentle personality. I thought I must have misheard, but the next day, I found a tiny hidden camera in my bathroom.

In a panic, the innocent junior who had been pursuing me for half a year suddenly showed up at my door.

"If she doesn't agree today, I'll just drug her. I've wasted too much time already."

My mind went blank. Trembling, I forced a smile and let him in.
