Allira The last thing I expected that day was to get the message from my husband that he was leaving me and that our children were now mine. He waited until the moment we were on the plane to go on our family holiday to message me and say he wasn't coming and had left me. I thought I had overcome the shock during the holiday, but when I returned home with our kids a week later, I realised none of my cards worked. He had sold everything and run with the money, even my own businesses. I found myself living in the worst place possible, but I had no choice. I had nothing, my bank was overdrawn by my ex-husband, so all I had was the money in my purse. Nikolai Allira had always caught my attention. I didn't know why she worked for me, she had her own businesses, ones I know she built herself. For the last three years, however, she focused on working for me. She turned from a family holiday and told me her name was now Miss Embry. I laughed. How did a family holiday end in a divorce? I was stunned weeks later when I showed up where she was living, the place was the worst, but the main problem was the man who made me aware that Allira was his, and not in a good way. He looked crazed, so I did the only thing I could. I broke her door to prove it wasn't safe and insisted she and her children move in with me. Maybe I made a mistake by doing that?

A king bound by ambition. A girl scarred by fate. And a matebond powerful enough to bring a kingdom to its knees. Narine never expected to survive, not after what was done to her body, mind, and soul. But fate had other plans. Rescued by Supreme Alpha Sargis, the kingdom’s most feared ruler, she finds herself under the protection of a man she doesn’t know… and a bond she doesn’t understand. Sargis is no stranger to sacrifice. Ruthless, ambitious, and loyal to the sacred matebond, he’s spent years searching for the soul fate promised him, never imagining she would come to him broken, on the brink of death, and afraid of her own shadow. He never meant to fall for her… but he does. Hard and fast. And he’ll burn the world before letting anyone hurt her again. What began in silence between two fractured souls slowly grows into something intimate and real. But healing is never linear. And love? Love is a war. With the court whispering, the past clawing at their heels, and the future hanging by a thread, their bond is tested again and again. Because falling in love is one thing. Surviving it? That’s a war of its own. Narine must decide, Can she survive being loved by a man who burns like fire, when all she’s ever known is how not to feel? Will she shrink for the sake of peace, or rise as Queen for the sake of his soul? For readers who believe even the most fractured souls can be whole again, and that true love doesn't save you. It stands beside you while you save yourself.

Fate seems to have it out for Camille Gallagher. In 24 hours, she wakes up from a one-night stand with a stranger and discovers her parents aren't really her parents. Finding out she is the true daughter of a powerful Alpha does not seem to make life easier for her in the coming months as she is treated like dirt by her new family, discovers her mate is cheating on her with the girl that stole her life and that she is pregnant from her one night stand. It then all comes into full circle when the man from that night turns out to be Dimitri Galdina, a Lycan King who needs her to survive. What's a girl gotta do?

"Apologize!” Ethan coughed repeatedly. “My wife is the one who deserves your apology, it’s her forgiveness that you need!” “I told you, you’re mine now, and I will not let anyone hurt you. I’ll get them to apologize on their knees”. --- Jane Fitzergald, a 22-year-old medical student and the illegitimate daughter of the Harrison family, was forced to take her half-sister’s place as a substitute bride to the eldest son of the Harrington family, Ethan, a deformed cripple with less than 6 months to live. She dealt with mockery right from her wedding from everyone and was a victim of vicious plots due to her naivety which caused a strain on the relationship with her new husband whom she had already decided to be on good terms with. Unbeknownst to her and everyone else who looked down on her husband, he was not what he seemed. Ethan Harrington knew that she was not his bride but he didn’t mind as long as she stuck to his words, his known health status was a front to cover his escapades. He’s set to unmask some plots but what happens when he starts to fall for his naive wife who shows him the love and care he never got? Will their budding love be cut off or will they weather the storm together?

Broken. That's one word that can be used to describe Adrienne Knight. For her, life has no meaning. Made to believe she was no more than a piece of worthless property, Adrienne developed a rather grim outlook on life, and rightly so. Happiness seemed to elude her at every turn. From a mate that turned bad, to being tortured within an inch of her life by the same person she thought would protect her. She trusts no one and sees everything as a threat. When Alpha Lucas finds his mate, she isn't what he'd expected. She was a shattered puzzle he had to put together, piece by tiny piece. Some pieces are lost and he has to make new ones, making his job that much harder. It tugs at his heart when she flinches when he touches her, or when she braces for a hit at every movement of his. He wants to kill every person responsible for the mess that was his mate. But slowly, he manages to pull her from her downward spiral and into the light. Their love is one borne from darkness and pain and not even the joined forces of heaven and hell can tear them apart.

“I, Alpha Kaden of the Black Crescent Pack, reject you, Ella Thorn, as my mate.” I was born cursed—or so my mother used to say. In a world where strength determined your worth, having a weak wolf was the same as having no wolf at all. Yet, the Moon Goddess had a twisted sense of humor**,** because she chose me, the weakest of them all, to be mated to the strongest Alpha in the pack—Alpha Kaden. Framed for a crime she didn’t commit by the one person she trusted most—her best friend—Ella’s world crumbled the night her mate, Alpha Kaden, rejected her and cast her out of the pack. Heartbroken and alone, she thought her story had ended. But fate had other plans. When a rival pack takes her in, Ella’s hidden bloodline awakens—ancient, powerful, and destined for more than just survival. Now, she’s no longer the broken girl the Alpha abandoned**...** she’s the Luna their world never saw coming. And when the past comes knocking, those who betrayed her will learn the girl they threw away was born to rule.

Alana did not know the word freedom and happiness having been confined in the basement of her family’s house accused of killing her own mother. She’s beaten, cursed at, and barely survived from crumbs of food thrown at her. She thought this is her final destiny and has accepted the bitter fate of her life not until the night of her 21st birthday, a mysterious alpha appeared at her door telling her that she is the long-lost daughter of the alpha king and claiming her as his mate he’s been looking for several years now.

I turned in time to see my parents being dragged away, their muffled cries ripping into me like cold blades. My mother turned back to me; her eyes implored mine, with her tears glinting in the sun. "You'll regret this," I said, my voice low, my body shaking with rage. The Alpha turned back to me, the hint of an amused smile playing on his lips. "Is that so?" "I'll come back," I said, my voice growing braver. "I'll come back and I'll destroy everything you've ever built. I'll make you pay for what you've done to my family." And then silence fell over the courtyard. For one very still moment, the Alpha's smirk faltered. Then he laughed. "You?" he spat, the word dribbling with malice from his lips. "You are nothing, Alina. You will die out there, all alone, and nobody will ever remember." I heard the crowd laughing along with him-cruel voices that seemed to close in around me on all sides. And I didn't care. I looked back at the Alpha, my eyes ablaze with unshed tears. "I'll make you pay for this," I whispered, more for my ears than for his. ****** Rejected by her mate. Betrayed by her pack. Left to die in the wild. Alina swore she'd return stronger and destroy the ones who shattered her life. But when a brutal attack leaves her scarred and broken, salvation comes in the form of Kennedy — the enigmatic and feared Alpha of the North. He calls her his mate. She would not believe him. Love once burned her, and she would not let that happen again. But Kennedy isn't one to back away from a fight, and as he chips away at the walls around her, Alina starts to wonder if her shattered heart could ever be whole again. Wracked by vengeance in her soul and bound with a mate she is terrified to trust, Alina is torn between the past that haunts her and the future that might just save her. Some bonds destroy. Others are strong enough to heal.

I am the Omega of my pack, and the Alpha's son was supposed to be my mate. He didn't know it because he hasn't reached 18 yet. But I couldn't stand the sight of him being with someone else. So I ran away. Little do they know what I am capable of... For the last two years, Katelyn has been dreaming of the day when her mate finally turns 18 and they can finally claim each other. However, her world suddenly comes crashing down and her dream is instantly destroyed when the alpha announces that his son (her mate) has found his future luna and his mate, who is the daughter of a neighboring pack's alpha. Unfortunately, Katelyn can't bring herself to say anything. She has kept this a secret for two years and she was waiting for another few months until her mate's birthday, but that day is never coming now. She can't stand seeing her mate with another girl, and she can no longer handle being in her pack. In addition, she can't let her father know, since he is the pack's Beta. What can she do? The only thing that she can think of.... She will keep her secret and run as far away as possible.

He runs a lot of businesses and also gives loans to people... if you can't afford to repay your loan, he collects whatever he wants to take from you that is equivalent to the loan. He's a ruthless and fearless Alpha, but he finds out his mate is the daughter of his own of his debtors, and she has lived all her life as a nun... How would a nun satisfy a ruthless Alpha???

"I prefer your moans, your gasps, and your whimpers. Don't hold them back, and I'll be more than satisfied..."" My hands move from his jaw to his hair, tagging at its ends. His hands travel down my body and pull the material from my shirt up my body, he places a wet kiss right beside my belly button. I tense as I let out a gasp. He makes his way up, showering my stomach with slow kisses, studying my body as he goes until the shirt is completely off and his mouth is on my neck. **** Aelin has been mistreated by her pack for as long as she can remember, but as the threats of the Vampire Kingdom becomes more and more palpable, her pack has to call the Northerners to help them train and prepare for the Vampire Kingdom. What happens when the Northern Alpha takes a liking to Aelin?

"I Aiden accept you, Janelle Rose, as my mate and Luna of The White Oak Pack." His words are like a punch to the gut. Sucking all the air from my lungs. "How!?" I gasp, gripping my sides. "He-he… She's not his mate. I'm his mate!" I scream... "You dare stake a claim on my mate!" Shrieks Janelle, "How dare you! Aiden! I will not stand for this kind of disrespect! She needs to go! NOW!" Glaring at her, I turn my attention to Aiden. His eyes soften if only for a second. "I Alpha Aiden Timberland, banish you Vex Riverton from The White Oak Pack!" It's like a knife is plunged into my heart as I drop to my knees. "Remove her!" Aiden says, turning, with Janelle hanging on his arm. "I never want to see her again!" That moment changed my life forever—I was no longer part of a community or even a family... Well, almost... but because of it, I gained a strength I never knew I had and power I never thought I'd possess.

Powerful. Steadfast. New York’s most eligible bachelor. Rafael Sebastian had been labeled every good and wicked thing in the corporate world. At the stage of my heartbreak from my crumbling marriage, I literally ran into him as a s*xy stranger that hit my hot buttons at first sight. He left me breathless with a single word and an irresistible smile. But there’s more to Rafael than meets the eye. He was an enigmatic force with more secrets than answers. So when we got caught in a media scandal that’s unintentionally my fault, the huge business deal he was trying to close almost plummeted to the brink of failure. To escape the rumors that trapped us, he had a proposition—a tempting solution that could save my pride and his tarnished reputation. But could I really live a life painted with lies? I know this was a bad idea, but that was something I’d just think about later...

Freya, born to Omega parents and unable to shift at sixteen, faced isolation and rejection. Alpha Dominic mated with her, then cruelly rejected her at dawn for being human. Devastated, Freya runs away, carrying a hidden secret-a three-year-old child. Four years later, fate brings them together again, igniting a tale of love, betrayal, and a bond that may or may not reignite. ************ "You're f*cking mine, Freya," he growled, his words dripping with possessiveness. "No one else can satisfy you like I can." I gripped the sheets, while biting my lips as I surrendered to the relentless pleasure being thrusted between my thighs. "Yes, Alpha Dominic," I moaned, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm yours, only yours." He gripped my hips tightly, his fingers digging into my skin possessively as he drove into me with unbridled passion. "Say it again," he demanded, his voice husky with desire. "I'm yours," I cried out, my voice rising with each thrust. "Yours forever."

His face was taut, and there was an unforgiving look in his eyes. His lips curled up angrily as my lips parted slightly in shock. Oh no, the Lycan King was my mate, and he did not look happy.

"What's that smell?" My wolf, Storm's, voice is sudden and loud, making my head throb. As soon as he speaks, the most incredible scent I’ve ever known hits my nose, sending my senses into overdrive. It's a blend of strawberries and cinnamon, instantly drawing me forward, my feet moving of their own accord.
