The Ruthless Female Alpha Regin
Lucia Mclean did not rise to become the first female Alpha in three decades by believing in fate.
She rules the oldest and most feared territory in Varron with blood, fear, and an iron will that has never once wavered. To her pack, she is a goddess. To her enemies, a monster. And to herself, she is untouchable.
Until her fated mate turns out to be the one man who could destroy everything she's built.
Jacob Hayes is a quiet cook from the Northern Pack-human-hearted, soft-spoken, and completely unprepared to be bound to the most ruthless Alpha in the four territories. Their bond is forbidden, dangerous, and politically explosive. Loving him could cost Lucia her throne. Rejecting him could spark a war.
As rebellion stirs and the obsessive Northern Alpha sets his sights on claiming both Lucia's land and her mate, Lucia must choose between the power that made her untouchable and the bond that makes her human.
In a world ruled by fear, even fate can become a weapon-and a broken bond can be deadlier than any blade.

Chapter 3
Lucia's POV
I had never been one to sleep with all my senses down. You learn the hard way when you live in my world.
The screams were the first thing that got me out of bed. Looking around for him and hoping he was safe, I saw him lying face down, buried in his blood. I knew he hated me, but I didn't hate him.
The loud explosion brought me back to reality. Pulling my robe on, I rushed out only to see my people being killed and raped.
An ambush. Who dares to enter my territory and do this?
With a blade in my hands, I rushed over to the young lady who was bent over by some brute. I drove my blade straight into his heart.
We fought for hours until sunrise, when we finally managed to vanquish the enemy.
I had accumulated enemies-plenty of them-from the moment I was born. People were always gunning for my head or after what they could take from me.
Over the years, I had learned to rule with an iron fist and an iced heart-one that nothing could hurt or kill so easily.
Standing in front of the leader of the ambush, I recognized the face and the symbol. This attack was from an old acquaintance from the north.
And this was only a sign.
I had never been one to fear anyone or anything-but I feared him. He had always been a hard rock in my path, with his obsessive love for me.
I felt my heart rate increase so much that I grew dizzy. The thoughts ran through my mind-the what ifs.
Where are you, my darling?
Jacob's POV
I kept running, going as fast as my legs would let me. The farther I got away from her, the better my chances of survival.
Walking for what felt like an eternity, exhausted and hungry, I knew I needed to find shelter before sunset.
I sat under a tree, hoping to catch my breath and maybe get a little sleep.
The first sound was a twig snapping. The next was my head slamming against the tree.
"How desperate are you to get your wolf back? And what will you do to get it?"
That was the first voice I heard when my eyes opened. I tried to understand my surroundings, wondering why everything was almost pitch black.
"I don't like being kept waiting."
My attention immediately shifted toward the direction of the voice.
"I would do anything, sir."
"Anything, you say? Does that include conspiring against your own mate?"
At the mention of mate, my heart raced and my nerves tightened.
"Yes, sir. Like I said, anything-as long as I can get my wolf back."
"Very well, then. My special healers will come to you later and take a look at your soul to see how badly it is damaged.
"Until then, go and wash up and eat."
I was led into a large, beautiful room, with servants at my beck and call. I could really get used to this life, I thought.
That night, I stood by the window, my mind filled with thoughts of her and how she was doing.
As much as I told myself I hated her, I couldn't stop my heart from wanting her.
A light knock came at the door. Before I could reach it, they were already inside-palms out, eyes not visible.
Lucia's POV
I had searched for over two days and found nothing. It was like he had disappeared from the surface of the earth.
I couldn't eat, sleep, or think properly. I was worried and scared that someone might have taken him-or worse, hurt him.
Patrol guards were scattered everywhere and ordered not to return until he was found. But I knew they wouldn't find him. Something in my gut told me he had been taken, and my instincts never lie.
"Guards! Send word to the south. I need an audience with one of their Alphas."
I will find you, my dear.
Jacob's POV
"Your wolf was deeply asleep due to the shock from the incident. Since it is weak by nature, it couldn't survive such trauma."
So that meant I was weak by nature-so fragile that even a little trauma could either kill me or send my wolf into a coma.
An empty laugh, filled with pain and disgrace, escaped my lips. What an unfortunate being I was.
"Sir. My lord seeks an audience."
I stood in that same dark room, and then came that voice.
"I hope you can tell I am a man of my word. Your wolf will be restored. But before that-how well do you keep your word?"
"Whatever it is you want from me, I will deliver."
"Very well, then. How deep can you drive a knife into someone's heart?

Ivy Hart didn't just lose love, she was destroyed by it.
Publicly betrayed by the man she thought she'd marry, her heartbreak becomes a spectacle she can't escape. Humiliated, angry, and done believing in forever, Ivy swears she'll never be that vulnerable again.
Then Damian Blackwood steps in.
Ruthless. Possessive. A man who doesn't ask, he takes.
His offer is simple, his tone is not:
Marry me.
A contract. Strict rules. No love. No questions.
But Ivy quickly learns one thing. Damian doesn't share.
Not his power.
Not his control.
And definitely not what he considers his.
What was supposed to be a cold, calculated arrangement turns suffocatingly intense. The way he watches her. The way he touches her. The way his voice drops when he says, "You're mine, Ivy."
It's not part of the contract.
And neither is the jealousy that burns in his eyes when her past comes crawling back, begging for a second chance.
Because Damian doesn't believe in love...
But he believes in possession.
And once he's claimed something, he never lets it go.
As secrets unravel and the truth behind their marriage begins to surface, Ivy realizes she didn't just sign a contract.
She signed herself over to a man who would destroy anyone who tries to take her away... even if that means destroying her too.
When the contract ends, one question remains:
Will Ivy walk away with her heart intact...
or will Damian make sure she never leaves at all?

My abusive ex was threatening a lawsuit that would destroy my father's career and wipe out my PhD. I was completely out of options.
That night, Graham, the boy from next door I hadn't seen in a decade, showed up at my apartment in the middle of a hurricane. Now a wealthy orthopedic surgeon, he offered a transactional marriage: he needed a local wife to keep his family away while he cared for his sick mother, and in return, he would make my ex disappear.
I thought it was a simple deal. But the morning after we signed the marriage license, Graham didn't just scare my ex off—he ruthlessly dismantled him. Then, Graham turned to me. His eyes were dead as he pulled out his phone, showing me a high-resolution photo of the night I illegally sold lab samples to pay off my ex's initial blackmail. He had hired a private investigator to stalk me. If that photo leaked to the FDA, I wouldn't just lose my degree; I'd go to prison.
"I needed a guarantee," he said flatly.
I was shaking with rage and terror. This wasn't a rescue. It was a hostage situation. Why did he hunt me down? Why use my darkest secret to trap me in this twisted marriage?
I couldn't live like this. I demanded an immediate divorce. But at the courthouse, the clerk dropped a bomb on us: state law required a mandatory thirty-day waiting period. Thirty days trapped with a ruthless, manipulative stranger. I had to find a way to break his leverage before the month was up.

When my son and I were kidnapped, with three hostages at the scene, the kidnappers agreed to release only one.
Among the women and the boy, Rodger should have chosen to save the boy first.
Yet, I heard him saying in Spanish fluently, "Release the woman in white."

"There's no way to kill Alpha Penking."
"Maybe there's one, make sure he has absolute power, never bows to anyone but will crawl to her feet each time she wants it."
Amelia's first life ended when she was ten-when the most notorious Alpha in New York took everything her father owned and killed him.
As if that wasn't enough, he coerced her father into selling his only daughter before death claimed him.
Fifteen years later, Amelia survives as a prostitute, her past buried beneath layers of control, routine, and silence. She lives for two things only: keeping her younger brother alive and nursing the revenge that never died. Every alpha is just a body. Every night is calculated. Her life is controlled-until the night she sleeps with him.
The same man who ruined her life.
Alpha Penking-feared, untouchable, merciless-without her knowing who he truly is.
Yet, her world shatters again.
Because Penking knows her.
Because he watched her grow in the shadows.
Because he knows her real name.

Because he serves her a contract that doesn't ask-it commands.
A contract where she belongs to him.
For months.
For life.
No bargain.
No gain.
Trapped between hatred and a bond she never consented to, Amelia begins counting the only freedom she has left-ten ways to kill Alpha Penking. But revenge grows complicated when obsession turns mutual, when power bleeds into possession, and when an impossible consequence binds them forever.
Because the man she plans to kill now owns her body...
And the child growing inside her might decide who survives.
