Once The Forsaken Luna, Now His Eternal Obsession
To save him, I sacrificed my wolf, endured the agony of silver poison, and spent three years trapped in a hollow marriage, living in quiet hardship.
On a stormy night, I lost our child, while he blamed me for ruining the mood at his beloved's banquet. When I asked to sever our bond, he dismissed me and had me locked away, convinced I would never give up my place as Luna.
What he never realized was that I only had months left to live. I forced the bond apart and vanished without a trace.
Only later did he learn the truth, searching every pack in madness for a love I had already buried. "Selena, come back! I'll give you my life."
In the embrace of another Alpha, I smiled. "My love for you has perished with my wolf long ago."

Selena's POV:
A full week had passed.
The underground black market auction was in full swing.
In this place, money erased all limits. If someone could afford it, they could walk away with anything, whether it was prohibited potions or even werewolves.
Standing before the mirror, I examined my reflection carefully. A deep crimson evening gown with a daring slit wrapped around me, paired with flawless makeup.
The fabric clung to my frame, tracing every line of my body.
A golden feather mask rested over the upper half of my face, hiding my identity while leaving my lips exposed.
"You set?" Damon asked, leaning casually against the doorframe as he held up two numbered paddles.
Dressed in a black tuxedo with the collar left slightly undone, he carried both refinement and danger in equal measure.
"I'm ready." I faced him and took a paddle from his hand. "The last item... is it really what you said?"
"It is." Damon's eyes turned serious. "The Moonlight Grass. It's the only thing that can hold back the silver poison inside you, even if it's just temporary. With that, you'll gain at least three more months."
Three more months. For someone already standing at death's edge, that kind of time was worth everything.
"Come on." I slipped my arm through his, letting him guide me inside the arena.
Inside, the auction hall stretched wide under low lighting. The moment we stepped in, attention shifted toward us from every direction.
Keeping my posture straight, I moved forward, the sharp click of my heels echoing with each step.
Back when I stood beside Kael, I never dared lift my head, always afraid I might make him look bad.
That version of me didn't exist anymore. Now, I didn't owe anyone anything.
With ease, Damon guided me upstairs to the VIP room on the second level. From there, the entire auction floor was laid out beneath us.
We had barely settled into our seats when the doors below swung open again.
A stir ran through the crowd almost instantly.
"Hey, who just came in?"
"That's Kael, isn't it? The Alpha of the strongest pack. I didn't expect him here!"
"Word is, he showed up because of that actress, Aria..."
Hearing her name made my grip tighten against the armrest before I could stop it.
Then Kael appeared, walking in with Aria wrapped around his arm, clinging close to him.
"They look perfect together," Damon murmured near my ear, his tone dripping with mockery.
Without reacting much, I lifted the glass of red wine from the table and took a slow sip. "They really do," I replied.
Across the hall, Kael's eyes moved steadily before settling on the glass case placed at the center of the stage.
Inside it sat the final item of the night—the Moonlight Grass.
From the look in Kael's eyes, it was clear he intended to claim it.
"So it's not going to be easy tonight," Damon murmured as he idly swirled the wine in his glass. "I heard Aria's condition wasn't great either. She needs that just as much."
Without delay, the auction began.
Several items were brought out one after another, but none of them caught my attention. That changed the moment the host pulled away the red cloth covering the final piece.
"Everyone, we've reached the highlight of the evening—the Moonlight Grass! We'll begin at ten million!"
"Twenty million!" Kael didn't even wait for the full announcement before lifting his paddle.
A hush fell over the hall. No one wanted to challenge an Alpha like him over a single herb.
Grinning, the host raised his gavel, his voice full of excitement. "Looks like the Moonlight Grass will be going to Mr. Brooks tonight. Let's all give our..."
"Fifty million." I lifted my paddle slowly, making sure every movement was deliberate.
At once, Kael's head jerked up.
Under the dim lighting, our eyes met across the distance for a brief second.
In that instant, confusion flickered through his gaze.
"Fifty-five million." Kael's voice stayed steady as he looked away and raised the bid without emotion.
"One hundred million." Without even pausing, I lifted my paddle again.
That number drained everything I had. It came from selling every piece of equipment I owned from my days of being a bounty hunter, along with the money Damon lent me.
I had placed my entire future on this one gamble.
For once, Kael didn't respond right away.
"Sold!"
The gavel struck, sealing the deal.
A slow breath left my lungs as I realized my hands were damp with sweat.
I had taken back my life from Kael.
Still, it wasn't going to end that easily.
Once the auction wrapped up, I stepped out of the VIP room, only to be stopped at a corner in the hallway.
"Miss, if you don't mind..." Mason Brown, Kael's chief aide, stood in my path with a polite smile. "The Alpha would like to speak with you."

I was the long-lost Donovan heiress, finally brought home after a childhood in foster care. My parents adored me, my husband cherished me, and the woman who tried to ruin my life, Kiera Reese, was locked away in a mental facility. I was safe. I was loved.
On my birthday, I decided to surprise my husband, Ivan, at his office. But he wasn't there.
I found him at a private art gallery across town. He was with Kiera.
She wasn't in a facility. She was radiant, laughing as she stood beside my husband and their five-year-old son. I watched through the glass as Ivan kissed her, a familiar, loving gesture he’d used with me just that morning.
I crept closer and overheard them. My birthday wish to go to the amusement park had been denied because he’d already promised the entire park to their son—whose birthday was the same day as mine.
"She’s so grateful to have a family, she’d believe anything we tell her," Ivan said, his voice laced with a cruelty that stole my breath. "It's almost sad."
My entire reality—my loving parents who funded this secret life, my devoted husband—was a five-year lie. I was just the fool they kept on stage.
My phone buzzed. It was a text from Ivan, sent while he stood with his real family.
"Just got out of the meeting. So exhausting. I miss you."
The casual lie was the final blow. They thought I was a pathetic, grateful orphan they could control.
They were about to find out just how wrong they were.

When I slapped her for the desecration, my husband struck me across the face to defend her.
He had violated a sacred honor code by putting his hands on the daughter of another Don-an act of war.

Then I made one phone call to my father, and the demolition of his empire began.

Sapphyra
9.5
Sapphyra used to have it all: a super-genius husband, a superhero career, and a dragon side she actually got along with.
Then everything went to hell.
When the world faced a threat she couldn't punch, Sapphyra tried to sacrifice herself so everyone she loved could escape. But Wyatt, her husband with backup plans for his backup plans, refused to let her die. He trapped her inside a digital coma, planning to wake her when the world settled down.
That was 100 years ago.
Now Sapphyra has ripped herself free and woken to a ruined city, a broken world, and a body she barely recognizes. Her powers are locked away. Her dragon side is caged. And the Class System controlling it all? Wyatt put it inside her.
Because of course he did.
It only gets messier. Guy, the charming golden retriever-energy hero she met inside the coma, is real-and so are his feelings for her. Meanwhile, Wyatt separated his mind from his body, so now his consciousness follows Sapphyra around like a brilliant, possessive bad hangover.
And then there's Rupert Domingo, the madman who escaped her digital nightmare and now rules the ruined city like his personal kingdom. He knows what happened while Sapphyra slept, and he'll give her answers...
If she survives his game first.
To win, Sapphyra has to rebuild her city, untangle her powers, face Wyatt's sins, and decide what scares her more: losing herself to grief, or becoming the dragon Rupert is desperate to wake up.

"Don't you dare touch me. You bloody monster," Eric whispered glaring at me, which only turned me on the more.
A beautiful smile crossed my lips; luckily for us, his fake mother was so focused on Katherine, she did not know I was fucking her son before her eyes.
"So I am now a monster, huh? That was not what you said yesterday. Or have you forgotten about our hot night?" I asked as I traced my way to his lap again, approaching his groin area.
He swallowed hard, his eyes roaming around. "Damien. I am Katherine's fiancé. your niece" He reminded me as my hands reached his groan, caressing it through the layers of his trousers.
"Yesterday you were Mike's boyfriend, and what did I tell you? I don't give a fuck!," I whispered back. "Now be quiet and try to control yourself" .
Eric's life is thrown upside down when his brother is killed on his coronation day, and he now has to become the king. and he can't because he is gay and he has a boyfriend who he loves dearly, or so he thought until he met Damien Monetro, his fiancée's uncle and his former one-night stand
