My fated mate, Alpha Kaden, watched me die slowly for three years while he groomed his mistress. When our pup withered and died inside me due to his neglect, he publicly accused me of murder. That was the day I stopped dying for him and started living to defy him. The Pack Healer confirmed our pup's soul returned to the Goddess; Kaden's weakened bond was literally killing me, forcing a procedure to remove the last physical tether. Immediately after, Kaden returned with Cori Mullins, his 'true love', and found me. He snarled accusations I'd destroyed his heir-a lie Cori eagerly reinforced. He dismissed my cries that he killed our baby, believing their narrative. My inner wolf gave a final gurgling howl as necrosis spread, and he swallowed Cori's lie that she, not me, saved him from rogues. I looked into his eyes and saw only disgust; he deemed my pain a performance, blind to the bond rotting me. Realizing he would never believe me, I formally rejected him as my Mate. He laughed, dismissed it as a tantrum, and refused to accept. But as he walked away, leaving me to die, I vowed to reclaim my life. I vanished into the night, determined to live for myself, whatever the deadly cost.

It all started with one reckless night at a masquerade club where I kissed a stranger and ran. "Open for me." It wasn't a request. Dominic Sterling didn't make requests. He gave orders. Kneeling between my legs, the man who owned my father's debt-and now my life-wasn't looking at me like a guardian. He was looking at me like a predator. "You were smiling at him," Dominic growled, his thumb tracing my lower lip. "You were smiling at that boy with this mouth." "He was just being nice," I whispered, my heart hammering against my ribs. "He doesn't know you, Aria," Dominic snarled, his hand sliding up my thigh. "He doesn't know that every breath you take belongs to me." He leaned in, his grey eyes darkening to black. "And tonight? I'm going to remind you exactly who owns you." A night where a masked stranger kissed me like he was claiming his soul mate, then disappeared with my mother's bracelet-the only thing I had left of her. That's the night I wish I could forget... but can never forget. A night I thought was just a mistake. Until he showed up at my apartment the next morning. With my father. Aria Vance is a broke nursing student with $4.12 in her bank account and a tuition deadline she can't meet. She thinks her life is over. She's wrong. It's just beginning.

And the man who kissed her at that club. Dominic pays the debt in full. But his generosity comes with a terrifying price tag: Aria. Under the guise of "protecting" her from loan sharks, Dominic forces Aria to move into his high-security fortress in the Hamptons. But safety is a lie. His rules are absolute: She never leaves the estate without his guards She is forbidden from dating anyone else She answers to him, and him alone Trapped in a golden cage with a man twenty years her senior, Aria realizes that Dominic didn't just pay for her safety. He paid for her submission. She should run. She should be terrified. But the way he looks at her makes her want to do the one thing she promised never to do: Surrender.

I woke to the unfamiliar sensation of warmth beside me. For three years, I'd grown accustomed to the cold expanse of our king-sized bed, with Ethan maintaining as much distance as possible while still technically sharing the same mattress. But this morning was different. As my eyes fluttered open, I found myself staring directly into my husband's face—not turned away, not buried in his phone reviewing market reports, but looking at me. Actually looking at me. "Good morning," he murmured, reaching out to brush a stray strand of hair from my face. His fingers lingered against my cheek, the gentle caress so foreign that my breath caught in my throat. I blinked, certain I was dreaming. "Good morning," I whispered back, my voice small and uncertain. Ethan Blackwood—heir to the Blackwood dynasty, corporate titan, and my perpetually distant husband—smiled at me.

My boyfriend forgot to log out of his Facebook Messenger on my computer. Glancing at the messages, I saw he was chatting in his family group chat. Mom: [Son, are you really planning to give Juniper $30,000 as a dowry tomorrow?] Boyfriend: [Absolutely, even if we have to borrow $90,000, we'll give it to her.] My heart leaped with joy—he truly loved me. But then, my smile froze. Boyfriend: [Anyway, once we're engaged, I'll report them to the authorities to get it back. In the end, we'll have a housekeeper for free who's also having my child.] Dad: [Are you sure? If they return it, she might not want to marry you. Isn't this risky?] Boyfriend: [If she refuses, I'll use AI to create compromising photos of her, ruin her reputation, and claim she lived with me and had an abortion. She'd have no choice but to marry me then.] Dad: [That's brilliant, son! What a clever plan!] Mom: [I always knew my son was smart.

On the day of our tenth anniversary as mates, I hid in Armando’s studio, planning a surprise. To my dismay, a young Delta from our pack, Araceli Griffin, had joined him as his model. Watching her gradually undress, I saw a spark in his eyes that I hadn’t seen in years. "Exquisite, truly breathtaking," he exclaimed, his voice carrying the weight of an Alpha’s authority. "In ten years, I haven’t seen such beauty." He couldn’t resist striding over to kiss her. I clenched my fists until my nails pressed painfully into my palms, staying silent. After a decade of trailing behind him, I suddenly felt an overwhelming exhaustion, as if the weight of the Silver Moon Pack’s expectations was crushing me. Opening the safe, I found a portrait of myself, elegantly framed. Armando had painted it the year I became Luna. For ten years, I cherished it, admiring it daily, fearing someone might steal it, so I kept it locked away.

While I was fighting for my life in the delivery room, my husband was on the front page of every tabloid, caught in a scandalous affair. He never came to see me or our newborn son. Instead, he whisked his actress mistress away to a luxury resort in the Swiss Alps, dismissing his betrayal as a mere "business arrangement." When his mistress brazenly appeared in my home, she taunted me, claiming my husband wished I had died in childbirth. Then, she revealed a paternity test claiming my son wasn't his. My husband believed her. He believed the lies of the woman who secretly snuck into our nursery to pinch and bruise our helpless, sleeping baby. He took her side, shielded her from me, and even tried to take my son away to raise with her. I had lost my parents and my brother, and now I was losing everything else. I was an orphan, a betrayed wife, and they were trying to take the only thing I had left: my child. But they underestimated me. They thought Kane Powell was the most powerful person I knew. They were wrong.

Xander Laven is the Alpha every pack fears-ruthless, commanding, and impossible to defy. He came to the gathering to find a submissive Luna to bear his heir. Instead, he found *her*. Chayse Vega is a fire-blooded Delta who'd rather fight than flirt. She never wanted a mate, especially not the arrogant, domineering Alpha Laven. Their first encounter explodes into a battle of wills-he's possessive and demanding, she's defiant and untamable. The mate bond burns between them, but can two wolves this stubborn survive each other?

I smoothed Sophia's hair one last time before we stepped out of the elevator, the familiar scent of her strawberry shampoo mixing with the sterile corporate air of Rogers Corporation. The lunch bag in my hand felt heavier than usual—homemade chicken sandwiches, Franklin's favorite, and Sophia's carefully portioned medication tucked into the side pocket. After weeks of Franklin working late, missing dinners, and barely acknowledging our existence, I'd decided to surprise him. Maybe seeing his daughter's bright smile would remind him of what truly mattered. "Mommy, is Daddy going to be happy to see us?" Sophia's small hand squeezed mine, her voice carrying that careful hopefulness that broke my heart. At five, she was already too perceptive, too aware of the growing distance between her parents. "Of course, sweetheart," I whispered, though uncertainty gnawed at my stomach. "He's just been very busy lately." The marble lobby stretched before us, all gleaming surfaces and corporate grandeur. I'd walked these halls countless times when I first gifted the company to Franklin, back when his eyes lit up with gratitude instead of growing cold with indifference. Now, the space felt foreign, unwelcoming.

Ella thought she had the perfect life. Then she checked her husband’s iPad. To the world, Kai is a devoted husband, a rising corporate star, and a loving father to their newborn daughter, Lily. But the night Ella discovers a string of messages to an escort saved as “Plumber Mike,” the flawless facade of her marriage shatters. Kai hasn't just been cheating; he's been living a complete double life, draining their accounts and bringing secrets into their home while calling Ella "postpartum and paranoid." Instead of breaking down, Ella decides to play the dutiful wife one last time. Behind her bright smiles and warm dinners, she is quietly gathering evidence, untangling her finances, and preparing a trap that will cost Kai everything he truly cares about: his reputation and his career. But walking away from the wreckage is only the first step. As Ella moves into a tiny, sunlit apartment to rebuild her life and reclaim her abandoned dream of writing, she meets Adrian—a gentle, single-father neighbor who shows her what honest, unselfish love actually looks like. When a ruined, desperate Kai finally realizes what he threw away and comes crawling back to beg for a second chance, Ella is forced to look at the life she left behind. She must choose between the ghost of the man she once loved, and the beautiful, hard-earned reality she built from the ashes. Sometimes, a broken heart isn't the end of your story. It's just the glitch before your system reboots.

Five years after Olivia Olivia left Carl Carl, he returned to Ashford in triumph—new fiancée on his arm, a lavish banquet in his honor. Meanwhile, Olivia was hunched in a nightclub stairwell, vomiting her guts out for a few bucks to pay for her medical treatment. “Mr Carl is something else. A self-made man, and in just five years, he’s become the new star of the business world. So young, so accomplished!” “Absolutely. From now on, we’ll be leaning on Mr Carl’s support!” “…” Three figures descended the stairs. Reeking of alcohol and slumped against the wall, Olivia weakly lifted her gaze—and suddenly locked eyes with a pair of icy, penetrating ones. For a second, she instinctively tried to straighten her disheveled appearance. But that gaze lingered only a moment before indifferently shifting away. The man turned and continued down the stairs. As if she were a complete stranger. “Carl, don’t go…” Fumbling frantically, Olivia pulled out her phone. Her hands shook as she dialed the number she knew by heart. The call connected almost instantly. “Hello.” His cool, detached voice yanked her violently into memories she couldn’t escape. A sob caught in her throat. “Carl Carl, I’ve missed you so much.” She could almost hear his breath hitch on the other end. After a long, heavy silence, his voice finally returned. “Wait right there.” The call ended. In less than two minutes, Carl stood before her, slightly breathless, his voice tight with suppressed anger. “What—you regret betraying me back then? Now that you see I’ve made it, you want to come crawling back?” Olivia leaned against the wall, staggering to her feet. “Yes, I regret it.” “Carl Carl, you once said that on the day you achieved success, you’d grant me one wish.” Carl stared intently at Olivia, as if pulled into the past. His eyes began to redden. “I remember.” “You said your only wish was to marry me.” Olivia laughed, taking one unsteady step after another toward him. “No. Not anymore.” “I want money, Carl Carl. I don’t want to marry you anymore. I just want money.” “Give me a million. I promise I’ll forget everything between us, completely. No one will ever know that the red-hot business mogul of today was once head over heels in love with a woman like me.” Carl let out a cold, mocking laugh—tinged with something like relief. “Five years apart, and you come to me for money?” Olivia’s smile was bitter. “What else? Did you really think I’d ask you to marry me?” “How could I ever marry a cheap woman like you, who’d sleep with anyone for a bit of cash!” The disgust in his eyes felt like it was shredding the last of Olivia’s dignity. She lowered her head, taking a long moment before she could speak again. “You’re right. I am that kind of cheap woman.” Finally, she looked up, meeting his gaze. “So, a million. Not a cent less.” “Why would I give you anything?” “Because…” Olivia reached out, her fingers lightly hooking his tie. “I have a lot of… intimate photos of us. If I sold them to the media, I’d probably get a pretty penny too, right?” Carl forcefully shook off her hand, his disgust deepening. “You think you can threaten me?” “Unless you strangle me right here, right now, you can only keep one: your money or your reputation.” “Olivia Olivia!” Carl finally snapped, each word ground out between clenched teeth. “You’re truly despicable!” “Is money that important to you?!” Olivia fought with everything she had to keep the tears from falling. “Yes. Money is more important than my life!” Carl stared at her, his breathing heavy and unsteady. “You—” “Carl, who are you talking to?” A clear, gentle woman’s voice shattered the moment. Carl took a sudden step back. Pamela Pamela approached from the lower stairs. Seeing Olivia, she paused briefly. “Olivia, what are you doing here? And dressed like this?” She strode over, taking off her own coat as if to drape it over Olivia. “I told you before to stop doing this kind of… physical work. Why won’t you listen?” Carl pulled Pamela behind him, shielding her. His cold gaze swept over Olivia. “Don’t touch her. She’s filthy.” Olivia flinched violently. Carl would never know: every single cent he’d received for his startup back then had been earned by this “cheap” woman, traded piece by piece with this “filthy” body of hers. “I can give you the money.” Carl’s voice cut through the silence. “But, Olivia Olivia, you’ll have to trade your body for it.” Olivia’s head snapped up, only to meet Carl’s eyes, blazing with hatred.

The phone vibrated in my pocket, an unknown Swiss number flashing across the screen. My heart stuttered as I answered, pressing the phone tightly against my ear to block out the ambient noise of Central Park. "Ms. Mitchell?" The crisp, accented voice of Dr. Alistair Finch came through. "I have excellent news." My legs suddenly felt weak, and I lowered myself onto a nearby bench. Seven years. Seven years of waiting, of hiding behind scarves and turned faces, of seeing pity in strangers' eyes. "The reconstructive surgery we've discussed," he continued. "We've had a cancellation.

My body hit the training mat with a dull thud, sending a sharp pain through my already bruised ribs. I bit my lip to keep from crying out, tasting blood as I struggled to catch my breath. The sparring circle around me blurred as tears threatened to spill. "Get up, Omega." Isabella's voice cut through the training grounds like a whip. "Your pathetic performance is embarrassing my pack." I pressed my palm against my side, feeling the tender spot where Kara, one of Isabella's loyal followers, had landed a particularly vicious kick during our "training session." The pain radiated through my body in hot waves. This wasn't training—it was sanctioned torture. "I said get up!" Isabella's voice rose, drawing the attention of every wolf in the vicinity. Her perfectly manicured nails tapped impatiently against her crossed arms, her lips curled in disgust. "Or are you too weak to serve as my personal attendant?" I forced myself to my knees, ignoring the stabbing pain in my side. Five years.

She came to kill him. He made her his queen. Valeria Romano spent five years with one purpose ... destroy Lorenzo De Luca, the mafia king who murdered her father. She trained in silence, sacrificed everything, and finally had him in her crosshairs on a cold Sicilian night. Then he showed her the truth. Her father's killer was never Lorenzo. It was the man who held her at the funeral. The man she called every week for five years. The man who handed her the wrong name and watched her walk toward the wrong target while he rebuilt his empire on her father's grave. Her uncle Marco. Now Valeria is bound to the enemy she came to destroy ... in a contract marriage she didn't choose, inside a world she doesn't yet understand, hunting a man who has been ten steps ahead of everyone for twenty years. But Marco has never faced a woman who has nothing left to lose. As the truth unravels and the bodies pile up and the line between hatred and something far more dangerous begins to blur ... Valeria must decide who she is willing to become to protect the people she loves. Because in Lorenzo De Luca's world, power is everything. And she is about to become the most powerful thing in it. Some wars are fought with guns. The deadliest ones are fought from the inside.

The year I finally severed all ties with Ryan Simpson was unforgettable. For his precious Mina, Ryan went as far as to break my leg. While lying in a hospital bed, I made sure every media outlet was paid off to ensure his beloved Mina fell from grace overnight. Everyone speculated whether Ryan would bring about my complete downfall. Ultimately, he just cast me aside, his eyes cold and indifferent. "You're not even worthy of carrying her shoes, you vile woman. Get out," he said. I left with nothing and didn't look back. Five years later, I returned, now in control of a billion-dollar fortune. We crossed paths once more at an extravagant gala.

Right after losing my baby, the only soul I had on earth to comfort me, I realized I'd made a great mistake, worse than engaging in a one-night stand. I was determined to find her as far as she lives on this earth, no matter what it took me. Well, nobody knows but this was my secret reason for enrolling in a Nanny Care Agency, a prestigious one. In each family I went to look after the kid, I dreamt of seeing my baby. There's no way I wouldn't know her if I saw her. So when I heard this little voice call me, I stopped, turning around slowly. “Maybe God wants to use her to call me back,” I say inside of me. My eyes lower slowly to look at her. I stumble backward, nearly falling if not that I take a good stance. “Am I dreaming?” What? She looks so much like me, could this be a coincidence of what I just had in mind or she's– My daughter? It's at this point, I see seven hot men, all identical, same height and faces, muscular, hot and sexy stepping out of the estate. Here is another mighty distraction. “Who are these?” I mutter, asking the little girl. “They are my daddies. Seven Alphas raised me up after the death of my mom. That's why I'm asking "why do I look so much like you?” What's really going on? “Mates! Mates!! Mates!!!” I hear my wolf leap and screaming. I need one man, not seven Alphas. How can all these cute, charming, sexy young men be mates with such a lowly girl as I? I'm sure the moon goddess made a pretty big mistake by doing this.

Freya gave everything to the man she loved. As the future Luna of Black River Pack, she trusted Alpha Logan with her heart, her loyalty, and her life. But when a deadly conspiracy shakes the pack, Logan chooses power over love and publicly condemns Freya for a crime she didn’t commit. Branded a traitor and exiled to the deadly Forbidden Mountain, Freya is abandoned by the very people she would have died protecting. But she survives. Rescued by the feared Lycan Prince Ryder, Freya begins to uncover the truth behind the betrayal that destroyed her life. As hidden crimes come to light and Logan realizes the devastating mistake he made, the mate he sacrificed is no longer the same woman begging for his trust. Now Logan must face the consequences of choosing his pack over his mate… while another man offers Freya something he never did: A choice.

The headlights cut through the pre-dawn darkness as I pressed harder on the accelerator, my heart racing with anticipation. Three days early—Nathaniel would never expect me back from the territorial inspection until tomorrow evening. The surprise would be perfect, especially with the news I'd been dying to share but wanted to confirm first. My wolf, Celeste, stirred restlessly within me, her excitement matching my own. *He'll be so happy,* she whispered in my mind. *Finally, after all these years.* Five years. Five long years of trying, of hoping, of monthly disappointments that had slowly eroded the joy from our mate bond. But now... I pressed my hand against my still-flat stomach, where the faintest flutter of new life had begun to make itself known. The timing couldn't be more perfect—just days before the annual Mate Ceremony celebration, when the entire pack would gather to honor the sacred bonds blessed by the Moon Goddess.

"A monster like you could never be my Luna." Those words shatter Elara Voss on the night she finally shifts... into the forbidden Shadow Wolf. Rejected by the Alpha King and cast out as a cursed monster, Elara flees into the rogue lands with nothing but humiliation burning in her chest. But when Kairos Blackthorn comes hunting for her, he doesn't find the broken omega he rejected. He finds a queen. In a moment of fury, Elara does the impossible-she marks the Alpha King instead. Now the bond is reversed. The king who rejected her feels every ounce of her pain... her rage... and her growing power. As war brews between brothers and ancient enemies rise from the shadows, Kairos must fight to win back the mate he destroyed before Elara's darkness consumes them all.

I am the last surviving daughter of a murdered Mafia Don, kept as a captive trophy by Julian Moretti. To break my spirit, he systematically drugged my meals, turning me into a ghost in his gilded cage. But the true nightmare began when he brought his childhood sweetheart, Linette, to live under the same roof. When she pushed me into the estate's frozen lake and fell in with me, Julian didn't hesitate. He dove into the freezing black water, looked right into my desperate eyes, and turned his back to save her. He left me to drown. I survived the icy abyss, only to face a crueler fate. To cover up his betrayal and secure his power, Julian announced our immediate wedding, planning to parade me before the Mafia Commission as his conquered property. When I swallowed poison to escape the ultimate desecration of my family's name, he simply revived me. He pumped my veins full of paralyzing sedatives, dressed my limp body like a porcelain doll, and dragged me onto his private jet to New York. "They will see that even a proud, wounded lioness can only whimper at my feet." My father and brother had used their own bodies as shields so I could live. How could I let my family's honor be trampled by the very monster who orchestrated their massacre? As the plane descended into New York, the despair in my veins forged into cold steel. If Julian wanted a Marino bride, I would give him exactly what that meant. I would survive this forced marriage, and I would personally slit his throat at the altar.

I was Z, the world's most lethal hacker. But after I died, I woke up gasping for air in a massive, freezing bathtub. Memories that didn't belong to me slammed into my brain. I was trapped in the body of Zero Vance, a notorious "trashy young master" of a wealthy family, who was actually a girl hiding in plain sight. The original owner of this body was a pathetic, lovesick stalker obsessed with an esports god named Maverick Thorne. She wore ridiculous rainbow hair and cheap makeup, sending him thousands of desperate, unread texts every single day. When he completely ignored her, she became the ultimate laughingstock. Bullies at her elite academy spray-painted "freak" on her locker, shoved her around, and her own family looked at her with exhausted disappointment. Unable to take the endless humiliation and his cold rejection, she swallowed a bottle of pills and slipped into the icy water. Looking at the ruined, tear-stained reflection in the mirror, physiological disgust washed over me. Why would anyone throw their life away for an arrogant, frozen block of ice? I grabbed the grooming scissors and sheared off the neon hair until only a sharp, silver-blonde crop remained. I deleted his contact, blocked his number, and put on a perfectly tailored black suit. When the school's head cheerleader pointed a finger at my nose, warning me to stay away from Maverick, I snapped it backward. "I have zero interest in Maverick Thorne." I am alive. And as the new Zero, I am going to take everything back.

The oncologist's office was quiet, too quiet. I sat alone in the examination room, staring at the pristine white walls and the framed medical degrees that meant nothing to me now. Dr. Hale's voice had been gentle but clinical when she delivered the news. Stage-two uterine cancer. The words hung in the air like smoke I couldn't wave away. My hands remained steady as I clutched my purse. I'd chosen this clinic deliberately—across Brooklyn, far from Cassian's hospital, far from anyone who might connect the dots. I needed space to think, to breathe, to decide what came next. "Ms.

After a decade-long mate bond, I found myself drained and feverish from planning a celebration that had been a dream for years. Kobe, the Alpha of the Silverfang Pack, nonchalantly handed me a glass of whiskey and pushed some pills into my mouth, his Alpha tone sharp with impatience. “You’re not seriously ill. Do I really need to come back and take care of you?” My head was spinning, the meds stuck in my throat, and the liquid burned my mouth instead of calming me. Instinctively, I gagged, but the pills wouldn’t budge. Panic set in as I struggled to breathe, yet he hurried off, glued to his phone. Later, as I was taken away in an ambulance, I saw him tenderly supporting his young Omega, Greta Scott. “Poor thing,” he murmured, his voice softer than I’d heard in years. “A nosebleed’s no small matter. I couldn’t relax without bringing you to the hospital.” The absurdity of it all hit me like a wave.

WARNING: This book contains a bit of disturbing scenes, non con, and strictly 18+. So proceed with caution, especially if you get triggered easily. After being rejected by her mate because she was an omega, Zora was betrayed and accused by her sister of being a witch, which was an instant death sentence in Shadow Pack. Zora, oblivious to the fact she was pregnant, escapes death to the human world where she meets her husband to be. On her wedding day, her mate appeared by the entrance abducting her from her wedding. How long can Zora keep her children a secret when the Alpha is rumored to be cursed and is obsessed with her? Can she protect herself from him? Most importantly, can she protect the Cruel Alpha from himself?

The day my guardian, Dante Moretti, announced his engagement was the day I started planning my death. Not a literal one, but the death of the girl who had orbited his world for ten years. He was the Don of the Moretti family, the man I'd secretly loved since I was a child. But with his new fiancée, Sofia, on his arm, he began to erase me. He even forgot my severe allergy, gifting me a watch that would blister my skin. He had ripped apart the diary where I confessed my love for him. "I am your guardian," he'd spat. "Do not ever cross that line again." Yet one night, drunk and stumbling, he crashed his mouth onto mine, his hands roaming my body as he pushed me against the wall. He groaned, but the name that escaped his lips wasn't mine. "Sofia..." When I screamed my own name—Elara—he shoved me away in horror. He wasn't horrified by his betrayal, but by the fact that he'd kissed the wrong woman. That was the final straw. I took the acceptance letter to a university in Toronto that I had kept hidden like a prayer. I called my estranged father and booked a one-way ticket. This time, I would burn my old life to the ground and leave nothing but ashes behind.
