The scent of sage and moonflower filled the ceremonial clearing as sixteen-year-old Ethan stepped into the sacred circle. My heart swelled with pride and anxiety in equal measure. Three years as his mother, watching him grow from a pup into this tall, gangly teenager, and now his Coming of Age ceremony—the moment when his wolf would finally manifest. "Remember what we practiced," I whispered, adjusting the silver ceremonial bracelet on his wrist. "Don't fight the transformation. Let your wolf emerge naturally." Ethan nodded, his eyes—so like Logan's—wide with nervous anticipation. "I won't let you down, Luna Rosemary." The assembled Silverpine Pack formed a perfect ring around us, their faces illuminated by the full moon overhead. Logan stood at the head of the circle, his Alpha presence commanding and silent. I searched his face for a smile, a nod of encouragement for our son, but found only stoic impassivity. "Ethan Pierce," Elder Helena's voice rang out, "step forward and claim your wolf." The boy moved to the center of the circle, his shoulders squared with determination.

The ground beneath the Silver Glade Pack shook violently, a tremor that rattled my very bones. Before the sound of the explosion even registered, the shockwave shattered the windows of the Alchemy Hall, sending shards of glass raining down like deadly confetti. "The lab!" I gasped, dropping the basket of herbs I had been gathering. Thick, unnatural blue smoke billowed from the east wing—my wing. That was where ten years of my life’s work resided. It was where I brewed the strength tonics that gave our warriors their edge, and the healing balms that kept our casualty rates miraculously low. Without a second thought, I sprinted toward the inferno. "Luna! Wait! It's too dangerous!" a Delta warrior shouted, but I ignored him.

Nadine reunited with her family, convinced she'd been discarded, rage simmering-only to find collapse: her mother unstable, her father poisoned; a pianist brother trapped in a sham marriage, a detective brother framed and jailed, the youngest dragged into a gang. While the fake daughter mocked and colluded, Nadine moved in secret-healing her mother, curing her father, ending the union, clearing charges, and lifting the youngest to leader. Rumors said she rode coattails, unworthy of Rhys, the unmatched magnate. Few knew she was a renowned healer, legendary assassin, mysterious tycoon... Rhys knelt. "Marry me! The entire empire is yours for the taking!"

I sacrificed my womb and my youth to build Alec' s architectural empire from the shadows. He repaid me by bringing his mistress, Billie, to frame me for plagiarism and destroy my reputation. When my father suffered a massive heart attack, Billie used her influence to block his life-saving surgery. Alec held my dying father' s life hostage, forcing me to my knees in front of the woman who ruined me. "Apologize to her, Cydney," he commanded, "or I pull the plug." I begged. I scraped my dignity off the floor. But they let my father die anyway. Discarded and humiliated, I vanished in a plane crash, leaving only a wedding ring in a landfill. Years later, at a global summit, Alec watched his company crumble under the attacks of a ruthless new rival. He grabbed the woman in the emerald dress, his hands trembling as he recognized the eyes he thought were gone forever. "Cydney? You're alive?" I smiled, cold as ice. "Ms. Frazier is dead, Alec. I' m the one who' s going to bury you."

"No." The words leave my lips before I can control them, and as a result, fear floods my entire body as I stare face-to-face with the man that my parents have sold me off to. "No?" His deep voice hums in his chest, sending a series of chills running across my skin. My bottom lip quivers in fear, but I quickly bite it in an attempt to maintain some sort of control over my body. I can't let him see how terrified I am of him, how my body trembles in terror as he remains across from me. Dante moves dangerously close to me, his frame towering over me and making me feel almost insignificant in my own skin. His cold, icy gaze meets mine, those soulless blue orbs searing into my green ones. I am paralysed, with no control over my own limbs. I should move, turn around and run while I still have a chance. But where would I even go? I'm in his house now, and there's nowhere I would feel safe anymore... Before I realise what's happening, his grip is around my throat, his fingers pressing against my skin. My back slams against the wall, and a frightened gasp leaves my lips, just as I look up at the person who has easily overpowered me. He remains silent as he looks down at me, his face inches apart from mine as panicked breaths leave my lips. Suddenly, the fear turns into something else as I realise how his body is pressed against me, how the only space between is the one between our faces... "Let's get something straight, dollface." He says lowly, his voice sending my heart racing as he keeps himself only inches from my face, my lips. "You're mine now, and there's nothing you can do about it." . . . . . Viviana Costanzo. Heiress of the Constanzo family and daughter of Don Ettore Constanzo. Born into power. Raised in silence to be lethal, perfect... only to be sold like a pawn. Viviana has spent her life as the unwanted daughter. Ignored by her father, despised by her stepmother, and overshadowed by her younger half-brother. When the time comes for her to receive her birthright, her father announces he has other plans... Instead, the title of future Don of the Costanzo family is handed to her younger brother. But it doesn't end there. She is stripped of her name, her wealth, and her future by her so-called parents and sold into marriage to a rival family. But not just to any family... not just to any man... It is none other than Dante Accardi, Don of the ruthless Accardi crime syndicate. He is ice cold and filled with venom. Those who work under him fear him, just like all who cross his path. He is a man used to getting what he wants, and unfortunately, Viviana is one of them.

The Grand Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel glittered with crystal chandeliers and white roses, a sea of New York's elite dressed in their finest. I stood in the bridal suite, my fingers trembling slightly as I adjusted my mother's pearl necklace—the one she wore on her wedding day. "You look perfect, Miss Camilla," Elena whispered, my loyal assistant and the only person who truly understood what today meant to me. I smoothed the silk of my custom Vera Wang gown, taking a deep breath. "Do you think he'll like it?" "Solomon would be a fool not to," she replied with a gentle smile. My heart fluttered at the mention of his name. One hundred twenty-eight letters we'd exchanged during his military deployments—each one treasured, each one promising a future that began today. The door opened, and I turned expecting to see my wedding coordinator. Instead, Violeta swept in, her pale pink dress catching the light in a way that seemed deliberately designed to draw attention. "Cami!

She was supposed to break. Instead, she rose. Now her mate wants her back. But redemption comes at a price. Everly didn’t just survive exile. She thrived. Stripped of her title and branded a rogue, she built a sanctuary for the forgotten, a home for those abandoned by the packs that failed them. Then Alpha Valen comes back, demanding her and his son. The man who once denied their son now wants a family. A future. A place beside the woman he almost broke. But Everly is no longer anyone’s to claim. She is a leader. A protector. A force in her own right. And Valen will have to prove again and again that he deserves to stand beside her. As old enemies rise and the fate of rogues hangs in the balance, Everly must decide if redemption is possible… or if walking away is the only true freedom.

The scent hit me before I even opened the door to our cramped apartment. It wasn't the smell of the cheap pine cleaner I scrubbed the floors with until my knuckles bled. It was vanilla and cloying sweetness—Ava’s scent. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic bird trapped in a cage. I adjusted the heavy bag of groceries on my hip, wincing as the strap dug into my shoulder. I was seven months pregnant, my ankles swollen, my back aching from a double shift at the pack house kitchens. I had picked up extra hours just to buy Reece the stethoscope he needed for his final exams. "Reece?" I called out, my voice trembling. Silence. Then, a soft giggle.

For three years, I've been the wife of Dante Moretti, the head of the Chicago Bratva. My only purpose was to give him an heir. Today, I stared at the second pink line on a pregnancy test—a death sentence. But my husband didn't want a wife. He wanted a vessel. Hiding outside his office door, I heard him talking to his sister, Isabella. They were placing a million-dollar bet on the gender of my unborn child. "But what about her?" Isabella asked. "Once she gives you the heir, she’ll be useless." The silence that followed was heavy, suffocating. "She served her purpose," Dante said, his voice dropping to a chilling whisper. "A broodmare is only valuable when it can produce. After that…" He didn't have to finish. In his world, useless things are discarded. Violently. Every touch, every calculated smile had been a lie to secure his dynasty. He saw a legacy, not a child. He saw a vessel, not a wife. The only way to win his game was to knock the whole board over. I pulled out my phone and called the clinic my friend had told me about. "Yes," I said, my voice a stranger’s, hollow and steady. "I'd like to schedule a termination."

The bomb strapped to my chest had less than a minute on the timer. I called my husband, begging him to save me. "Kevin, please. This is real. I'm going to die." But Kevin just sighed, his voice dripping with annoyance. "Stop the drama, Michelle. Violet is having a panic attack because her cat is stuck in a tree. I don't have time for your jealousy games." He hung up. Moments later, the warehouse exploded, and I was gone. But I didn't cross over. My spirit was tethered to Kevin, an invisible spectator to his life. I watched him roll his eyes at my mother’s frantic calls. I watched him perform the autopsy on my charred body, convinced I was actually hiding in a hotel to punish him. It wasn't until he returned to the blast site and found my wedding ring in the ash that he finally broke. He fell to his knees, screaming my name. I thought his remorse would free me. But then he discovered the truth: Violet had orchestrated my murder. He cornered her, his grief mutating into a violent, obsidian hatred. I tried to drift away, but the invisible chain binding me to him suddenly tightened, crushing my soul. I realized with absolute horror that the truth hadn't set me free. His hatred was an anchor, heavier than his love ever was. I wasn't just a ghost anymore. I was his haunting, and I was never leaving.

To save my dying father, I made a deal with the billionaire Christopher Kirkland. I became his secret, a bird in a gilded cage he paraded around when it suited him. But I was just a pawn in his twisted game to win back his ex-girlfriend. He proved it when he publicly outbid me for my own mother's heirloom necklace, only to gift it to her right in front of me. Then he threw me out of the penthouse. My few cherished belongings-my books, a photo of my parents-were tossed out. "Chaney doesn't like clutter," he told me, erasing my entire existence for her. A text on his phone confirmed the brutal truth. "Our little game is working perfectly," she'd written. "She's completely fooled." Years later, after she betrayed him and his empire nearly crumbled, he came back begging. He thought he could buy my forgiveness. He was about to learn that my freedom had no price tag.

I never thought I could find myself sucking the dìck of a man I should call father and made him moan out so loud. I found myself going back to have him finger and pound my clit, ripping moans off my throat as day passed by. I found myself moaning to him every single day, taking all his sexual command and fantasies, being daddy's naughty girl and wishing for nothing other than his 8 inches dick buried deep into my wet clit. I grew up invisible, the illegitimate daughter of a woman who valued status more than motherhood. While she chased elite society, I learned to survive on my own, retreating into art and quiet fantasies of being chosen by someone who would finally see my worth. Everything changes when my mother marries Calder Rhys, a billionaire widower seeking stability, not love. Thrust into a world of wealth and rigid expectations, I moved into the Rhys mansion and met Wells, Calder's polished and charismatic son. Drawn to him despite knowing he is unavailable, I mistake attention for affection, unaware that my longing is about to pull me into something far more dangerous. A single mistake blurs boundaries that should never be crossed. Caught between a mother who sees me as a liability, an elite society eager to destroy me, and a man whose influence could either protect or ruin me, I must decide who I want to become.

The train's rhythmic clacking had lulled me into a restless sleep during the eighteen-hour journey from Montana, but now, standing before our apartment door with trembling fingers wrapped around my keys, I felt more awake than I had in months. The handcrafted leather journal pressed against my chest through my worn canvas bag—weeks of careful stitching, of burning my fingertips on hot tools, of learning ancient techniques just to create something worthy of Javier's hands. Today was my birthday. Twenty-two years old, and I was surprising the man I'd loved since childhood. The hallway smelled of vanilla candles and fresh paint, familiar scents that should have felt like coming home. Instead, they felt foreign, as if I'd been gone years instead of months. I slipped the key into the lock, my heart hammering against my ribs with anticipation. "Javier?" My voice echoed in the darkness. Silence answered back. I fumbled for the light switch, squinting as harsh fluorescent light flooded our living room.

The black town car idled outside our penthouse, its exhaust forming ghostly tendrils in the pre-dawn chill. 5:45 AM. I stared at it through our floor-to-ceiling windows, my reflection a pale specter against Manhattan's awakening skyline. Something was wrong. Michael had never been an early riser in our ten years of marriage. The man who complained about breakfast meetings before 9 AM had arranged a car before sunrise? On our anniversary? I twisted the diamond eternity band on my finger—a nervous habit I'd developed over years of swallowing disappointments and rearranging my face into the supportive mask expected of Michael Sterling's wife. "Victoria," I whispered to myself, "stop overthinking." But when I opened our front door, the white Hermès hamper sitting on the doormat confirmed my unease. Inside lay spa vouchers, a glossy brochure for a Hamptons retreat, and a one-way plane ticket to East Hampton.

Dean was a fan of spicy food, but I wasn’t. For six years, I’d always tried to accommodate him, joining him in eating fiery dishes. But this time, as we were having a barbecue, my stomach started acting up. Despite this, Dean ordered spicy pulled pork for Lucia without a second thought. "Lucia and I live for spice, Jessica. Can you just go along with it this once more?" I glanced at the slices of meat in my bowl, dripping with spicy marinade, causing my stomach to churn uncomfortably. My eyes shifted to his, which were fervently fixed on Lucia, the high-ranking Gamma of the Crimson Fang Pack. Suddenly, I couldn’t fake it anymore. "Dean, I can’t eat spicy food, and I don’t like it." As soon as I said it, Dean stopped, his hand frozen mid-air as he reached out to serve Lucia. The smile on Lucia’s face disappeared, and silence settled over us, broken only by the sizzle of the grill.

In Ravenstone, a divided town, where wolves dominate and the people are nothing but shadows, Aria Blake has never found her place. An orphan with no memory of who she is, her only belonging is a crescent moon necklace she has had ever since she can remember--and a secret crush on Kian, son to the Alpha, the unattainable man. However, all that changes when she is humiliated, one night at a party. Aria changes before the eyes of the whole school after her necklace is torn on her neck. A human girl, a Wolf? Impossible. Scared and lost, she runs away to the forest and then wakes up with Lucian, the weird outcast wolf by her side. As the town attempts to overcome her change, Aria uncovers a horrifying reality; she is the sole surviving descendant of the Moon Goddess and the only one with the power to end a curse that has been in existence since time.

The man I was about to marry was going to kill my father. I just didn't know it yet. I thought my wedding to the ruthless Don, Dante De Luca, was a love match that would finally bring peace between our warring families. But at the altar, instead of a ring, he revealed our engagement was a lie. It was a long con to avenge his aunt—my own mother—whom my senator father had secretly murdered. Then he shot my father dead in front of me. I was wounded trying to stop him and woke up his prisoner. The man I loved told me our entire relationship was just "business." He abandoned me to his new partner, a woman named Isabella, who made it clear I was nothing more than a loose end. He cut off all contact, erasing me completely, leaving me alone as the tainted daughter of a dead drug lord they called 'The Scorpion.' My whole life was a lie. My mother had been a spy for the enemy family she married into. My father was a monster. And Dante, my fiancé—my own cousin—had meticulously used my love to destroy everything I had ever known. So I let Alessia Gallo die. I disappeared and became Alma, a ghost in the cartel underworld, determined to finish the mission my mother started. Years later, he walked into my cantina, a man on a mission. He didn't recognize the hardened woman I'd become, and this time, he was the one walking into my trap.

My husband unveiled a custom pink car on live TV, calling it a "tribute to our love." The internet hailed him as the perfect man. But I knew the truth. That car was the exact place he cheated on me with his VP, Keri. And the lipstick stain on the passenger seat wasn't mine. He thought I was at home, waiting to celebrate his success. Instead, I was at a clinic, signing a waiver to surgically remove my memories. I aborted the child he desperately wanted. I smashed the jade locket he claimed bound our souls together. I burned my passport, my license, and every photo of us in the kitchen sink. When he finally came home, he found nothing but an empty house and a gift box containing the remains of our unborn child. A year later, he crashed my engagement party in Charleston, falling to his knees and begging for forgiveness. I looked down at the weeping billionaire and felt absolutely nothing. "I'm sorry, sir," I said calmly. "But do I know you?"

I was living as a ghost in a run-down trailer park, trying to outrun a past that would kill me if it ever caught up. Then the storm hit, and a dying monster collapsed through my door, bringing the smell of copper and the promise of a very different kind of death. I tried to defend myself with a cheap butcher knife, but Darius didn't just disarm me—he acquired me. Before the rain even stopped, I was drugged and whisked away on a private jet, waking up in a luxury penthouse that was nothing more than a high-tech cage overlooking the city skyline. He didn't just want my silence; he wanted total control. When I begged to check on my sick grandmother, he threw a manila envelope on the table filled with surveillance photos of her at her nursing home. "I own the board of that facility," he said, his voice cold as ice. "One call from me, and she dies alone on the street." He vetted my life in that trailer park down to my medical records and childhood diaries, convinced he had every lever of power needed to keep me obedient. He forced me into silk dresses and expected me to be his domestic pet, a quiet girl waiting for him to return from his world of shadows and blood. I played the part, letting him pull me into his lap and bury his face in my neck, pretending to be the broken girl he thought he’d bought. I watched his security cameras, calculated his blind spots, and waited for the moment his exhaustion outweighed his instinct. Darius thinks he knows me because he saw where I lived, but he’s never been more wrong. His investigators found the pauper, but they completely missed the princess with an Ivy League degree and a family name that carries more weight than his illegal empire. He thinks he’s the one holding the leash, but he has no idea who he’s actually brought into his home. The game has just begun, and this time, the "asset" is going to be the one who burns the house down.

"Stop this God forsaken wedding!!" I boom, my voice resonating through the halls of the church. Murmurs fill the air as eyes turn to me, dressed in nothing but rags. My grip tightens on the bat in my right hand. How dare they? How dare he? My eyes burn as I match forward, my body trembling with rage. "Clara, what–" His words are barely out before I send my hand forward, swinging the bat at him. Thick red blood spurts out as screams fill the air. ~~~~~ Clara Anthony thought it was love when she took the fall for a theft her husband committed just a few weeks after she gave birth. Thought she was doing the right thing for him, for them, but she was wrong because on the day she came out three years later, she found out he was getting married to her best friend of ten years. Her whole world shatters as she watches her best friend take her life, her husband, and her daughter. Left with nothing but pain and a deep ache for revenge. She teams up with the one person she swore never to look at again, the one person everyone thought was dead. Spencer Anthony, twin to her husband and her first love, the same man who left her without a word. Now he is back from the dead, not as the same man she once knew, but a cold, heartless mafia man who wants nothing but destruction. As Spencer offers her a chance to reclaim her life and daughter. Filled with nothing but hate, she takes up the offer, determined to make everyone pay. But what she didn't know when going close to Spencer was that when dining with the devil, you use a long spoon.

The metallic clang of surgical instruments echoed through the trauma bay as I worked alongside the team on the motorcycle accident victim. Blood pulsed from the patient's femoral artery, and I moved with practiced precision to clamp it. Across the table, my husband, Dr. Michael Chen, stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Emma Rodriguez, the newest resident in our emergency department. "Perfect technique, Dr. Rodriguez," Michael's voice carried an unmistakable warmth as he guided Emma's hands. "Just like that." I kept my eyes fixed on my work, but I couldn't help noticing how his fingers lingered on her forearm—a touch that lasted seconds longer than necessary. The OR lights caught the gleam in Emma's eyes as she looked up at him, her smile intimate and knowing. A cold weight settled in my stomach. This wasn't merely an attending physician guiding a resident.

During orientation week, I found myself feeling isolated. The only person who actively tried to befriend me was Juliana Webb. She'd often say, "Kate, you're way too reserved. You should hang out with me more!" I thought she was helping me fit in, so when she convinced me to wear a crop top to a social event, I went along with it. At the orientation performance, she urged me to dance provocatively, saying it would catch the guys' attention. She even encouraged me to indulge in rich foods, claiming that the more I indulged, the luckier I’d get. I became the laughingstock of the college, while she was celebrated as the most stunning beauty in years. She went further, accusing me of using unauthorized electronics just when I was applying for a scholarship to cover my medical expenses, causing me to lose the funds needed for surgery. Before I died, I overheard her outside my hospital room mocking me with others. "She couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

After being betrayed by her husband too many times, the last betrayal broke her thread. Xanthe is back for revenge and she would even team up with her husband’s enemy if it meant getting it.

He repayed with evil, I show him to hell
