Tempting Darkness Darkness Series Book 1 Nothing in our world is humane and normal. Especially not my mates. First, they killed my parents. So, I did the most rational thing at the time. I ran. Hard and fast without ever looking back. But you can't run from the factions of the Fae, especially not them. Fae were the most powerful creatures in the world, as long as we had magic and our mate. Turns out I have not one mate but four. Not one of my four mates was a good option, each one as brutal and cruel as the other. Darius was a Demonic-Fae, Tobias Vampiric-Fae, then there is Lycus, he is a Were-Fae, and let's not forget Kalen, Pure and devastatingly all Dark-Fae. They were all as cruel and brutal as each other and wanted to destroy me. Now, I find myself at a crossroads, as I am being hunted by werewolves in an unfamiliar city, and I had to weigh up my options, both unappealing. However, Low on magic and backed into a corner where I feel like I've got nothing left to lose but my life, I decided to run to the very men I spent six years running from. I do the unthinkable. I send out a flare of my magic, an SOS, to the very men I hide from. It doesn’t take long before I realize some things are worse than death. Like being forced into a bond with the men who had ruined my life. The men who wanted to destroy me, to claim me, to keep me. There was just one thing that they had forgotten. I was part of the darkness, too. And if they want to tempt darkness, they will eventually taste it, and nothing tastes sweeter than revenge. Hello Lovely Readers This book may contain content some readers may find triggering. It is a dark paranormal romance, and the four main male leads are brutal toward the female lead. Some may have noticed I said four Male leads. As most of my readers know, I primarily write reverse harem romances, meaning one woman with multiple love interests. No, she doesn’t have to choose between them—a list of some triggers you may find in the book below. Degradation, Blood Play, Abuse, Dub-con, torture. Non-con, Humiliation. This is a dark Fae-Creatures book loosely using the term Fae as there are different variants of Fae. However, Dark Fae is not your average Tinkerbell. There is no sprinkling of pixie dust, unicorn farts, or spreading the skies in rainbows. My characters are darker and crueler, with no limits. So if you are unfamiliar with Dark Paranormal Romance and Reverse Harem, or even slightly confused still, I suggest you give old google a search. If you're okay with the dark stuff and wish to continue reading, well, jump right in for a stomach-dropping, intense ride, and I will see your lovely dark souls on the other side.

Maureen Howard, Luna of the Enderlin pack, is carrying a child that isn't her mate's. When Alpha Cyrus Enderlin discovers the betrayal, he answers it with silver and cruelty — branding her a traitor to the bloodline and sentencing her to die. She flees into the wild alone, broken but not beaten. She's found half-dead at the Silvercrest border by Aldric Lupin, the grey wolf Alpha whose calm hides a power his people were once hunted to extinction for fearing. He shelters her against his own council's warnings, and in the months that follow, gives her something Cyrus never did: safety, patience, love. When her son is born with eyes of impossible blue, the prophecy becomes real — a hybrid Lycan, the Alpha of Alphas, born to rule every Crescent clan. Aldric claims them both as his own. Cyrus won't let go so easily. He comes for what he considers his, and when Maureen chooses Aldric in front of both packs, his obsession turns to war. Lies, kidnappings, and a mercenary betrayal push Aldric past the edge of his restraint — unleashing the very power his bloodline was born to bury. Now two Alphas will meet at Valkor, birthplace of the First Wolf, under a full moon, to settle it with blood. But the truth about the child's conception — and Maureen's place in the prophecy that started it all — is about to change everything.

She was never supposed to survive the tournament. She definitely wasn’t supposed to walk out of it with two kings standing beside her. And nobody was prepared for what happened when the girl they had spent years treating like she was nothing finally stopped hiding. Two kings. One impossible bond. A tournament filled with enemies. A secret bloodline everyone thought was extinct. And a girl who has absolutely no intention of behaving like the queen everyone expects her to become. She can fight. She can see things no one else can. She can make two kings lose their minds with one sarcastic comment. And apparently… she can turn a perfectly respectable royal celebration into a full-blown clown show. But tomorrow is coming. And whatever Traci saw in those flashes is coming with it. The kingdom thinks they know who she is. They have no idea. The question isn’t whether the Last White Wolf will rise. It’s what happens when she does. The Rise of the Last White Wolf You think you know the story. You don’t. Open the book. Find out why everyone is about to learn exactly who Traci really is.

“I, Markus, Alpha of the Bluestone Pack, hereby banish you from this pack and strip you of your title as Luna.” The words hit me like a heavy stone thrown at my chest. For a second, the whole world went silent. Then the mating bond between us started to tear. It felt like someone was ripping a part of my soul away. The pain was so sharp I almost fell to my knees. But what hurt even more was the look in his eyes. He didn’t believe me. Not even a little. He believed the words of a guard he had tortured over me — his mate, the woman who had loved him for five years. The woman who had cried in his arms when the pack called me barren. The woman who was carrying his child right now. He had zero faith in me.

Ruby Rue believed she and her boyfriend were destined to be mates. However, on her sixteenth birthday, her world shatters when she learns that they are not mates at all. Instead, she is destined for the powerful, god-like alpha twins, but they have chosen to ignore her. Heartbroken, she flees home and undergoes a remarkable transformation. Five years later, a tragedy compels her to return home. This time, everything has changed—Ruby Rue is no longer the girl who let others walk all over her. She stands tall and strong, ready to face the world on her own and fulfill her duties to her pack. But why do the alpha twins, who once despised her, now look at her as if she were their next delicious meal? Will she be able to resist the irresistibly s*xy twins, especially with the increasing attacks on their pack that will force them all to work together?

Katya has always been an outsider, shunned for having no wolf and unable to live up to the reputations of her Beta father and infamous warrior mother. Just before her 18th birthday, her family is stripped of their titles and shunned from the pack. They have only two options: go rogue or seek refuge in a Black Creek Pack. Katya suddenly finds herself caught up in a web of lies her parents told. Now, not only does she need to prove herself to her new Alpha, but she must keep him from discovering her secret. However, Katya finds keeping her secret harder than she thought when the Alpha shows a keen interest in her. She is forced to move into the packhouse. With nowhere to hide, she is forced to take extreme measures to keep him from discovering she has no wolf. But darkness looms, and secrets come to light, more than she ever imagined. Now Katya doesn’t know whom to trust or whom to turn to when everything she thought she knew was just another lie of a bigger secret kept. Just when she believes she has all the puzzle pieces, she learns the Alpha is keeping his own secret. She is his mate. There is just one issue: Katya has no wolf, so what will happen if he figures that out? Will he keep her or shun her as her last Alpha did?
