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.

Being the weakest omega in her pack is already a disadvantage to Jenna. Not only is she a weak omega, but she also had no mate when she was eighteen, and everyone thought she was cursed until Shaun Moore, a well-known business tycoon and the Alpha of the Fire-Ice pack who does not believe in love or mate, showed up. Everyone knows him as the most ruthless Alpha, who believes love is a mirage and is never meant to be real, but no one thought that the weak Jenna Smith would be his mate. He had saved her during one of his visits to her pack and marked her as his mate in the presence of everyone, only to reject her a few hours later. To him, there was no way he was going to accept a weakling as his mate, but to her, he is her only source of hope and survival, and she will do anything to tame him and make him hers. ** "Who are you to talk back at me?" he yelled "I am your mate, you should treat me as such," I replied, rolling my eyes and taping my feet on the floor slightly. He frowned. "What did you say?" I brushed my hair backward and smiled. "I... I... I think I should go back to sleep," I said, turning to leave. He pulled me back, pushed me to the wall, and held my hand. "You dare to defile me because you were my mate? A rejected mate!" He tightened his grip, and I whimpered slightly. "You have not rejected me completely yet" He scoffed. "I don't care!!!"

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.

"Ellis," I followed Ellis' gaze, and he was staring at the woman behind me. "Mate," My knees weakened as Ellis whispered the words. I took a step back. "Ellis, baby," I regained composure and went to him in an attempt to get his attention. "Mate," he whispered again, ignoring me and looking at Charlotte. I could barely breathe, and all I did was step aside. Ellis took steps forward to her and slowly cupped Charlotte's crying face with trembling hands. "Hello, mate," No, no, no. I silently begged the moon goddess to wake me from this nightmare... *** Love Chasia is heartbroken when her boyfriend of ten years finds his mate and chooses her, forgetting the promise he made to stay by her side forever. The best and only option for her is to leave and never see him again, but what happens when she discovers she's pregnant? Five years later, they meet in a way they didn't expect. Now, he is her new boss. The passion, love, and lingering feelings they thought were buried come back with full force, especially now that she works in his company.

"After a heated confrontation with her husband and mistress, Brianna was pushed down to stairs. She thought she would die but when she woke up again, she realized that she traveled back two years ago, when it was not late for her to correct her path.

Brianna will surely choose her career over a man this time, but it’s possible to choose both, right? What if he hurt her too? No! She won’t risk it but… “You have to run away from me, Bree. Coz I’m done running away, I’ll chase you now.”"

“No one is playing games here, Shadow. I just want to know what you want.” “Are you really making me do this?” My voice was a combination of frustration and irritation. He was enjoying this too much, probably punishing me for giving him blue balls twice. “You were complaining earlier, so, yes. I don’t want another broken nose.” “Spank my *ss, Califf. Then touch me and f*ck me with your finger. I wanna come. Do you think you can do that?” *** All Shadow ever wanted is to live in peace with their pack, but as a royal Lycan and the daughter of a witch, it comes at a price. When a faceless enemy targeted her, she did not only lose her wolf but also her healing gift, leaving her powerless and vulnerable.

Alpha Califf becomes a formidable Alpha after defeating a sinister enemy. He should be invincible with allied packs everywhere and witches at his disposal, but Shadow becomes a liability.

Will Shadow get her revenge and find a way to get her wolf and gift back? Will they uncover the ugly truth behind their enemy? Or their foe is just right under their noses all along.

"""I will work for you till I pay back the amount in full.. I want to be a maid.. Please… I don't want to be a breeder"" I started to plead once everyone left the ward.. He saw her begging but his stone cold heart didn't melt. ""I never tasted a weak duckling Alpha.."" He smirked and walked toward me.. I walked back with fear till I hit the wall. ""I am not weak."" I said in a low tone and tried to push him away.. But his solid body didn't move an inch.. I could not breathe properly because of his aura.. ""I will make you beg me for pleasure…"" His words disgusted me. I didn't talk back as his Alpha tone was overbearing.. I felt weak wherever he was touching me.. ""You will be my toy till you get pregnant.."" I turned my head away with disgust but he touched my cheek roughly and caught my chin. He made me look into his eyes.. His hand covered my neck and gripped it hard.. ""I will come to you every night to f**k you.."" His eyes became devilish as if he was looking at his prey.. Suddenly I felt scared of him more.. and my breathing became suffocating.. He is pressing my windpipe to make me suffer… My eyes become red while I shake my head slowly... ""No… no.."" I murmured and I forgot to breathe in his presence.. He was scaring hell out of me.. ""Girl.. You will be lucky if you get pregnancy soon otherwise I will have my ways to f**k you.."" I dropped my eyes not able to hear such f***y words.. Tears rolled down my cheeks when he loosened his grip.. I don't want to believe that my father sold me as a breeder.. I can't accept it.. ""If you agree or not.. it doesn't matter.. spread your legs when I come to you.."" He pushed me back again and the tip of his nose touched my cheek while I looked at him scarily.. He nibbled on the crook of my neck and kissed my sensitive places… ""Remember I am your Alpha from now on and don't you dare to say no…"" he said huskily and pushed me back fiercely.. His cruel and harsh words made me fall back on the ground.."

“I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

"Being a weak omega, life was never easy for Andrea Carter. She once thought the Goddess finally remembered her when her boyfriend Beck proposed to her. However, he dumped her without hesitation after finding an upgrade. When she met her fated mate Kade Nightshade, who led the most powerful pack in New York, she thought he would mend her broken heart. However, it turned out to be another nightmare.

And he swore to make her pay! *** “Say my name again,” he demanded. ""Say you're MINE!"" I threw my head back and moaned as he bit my neck. “Kade,” I gasped. I didn’t care that we were out in the open woods or that this was the man I had sworn off of; I had to have him inside me right then and there, or I would die from need."

He told me to clean his room. This was the day my life changed and I began living in hell. I’ve always been treated as a slave and bullied by other pack members but I had just turned eighteen that day and my mate was revealed to be the pack’s alpha, Jacob. Instead of outright accepting or rejecting me, he hurts me in the worst way by cheating on the mate bond while I am in the same room. He claims this she-wolf is his chosen. Then why is he not releasing me by rejecting me? Instead, he keeps me a prisoner in his room most of the time and has s*x with his chosen and even other she-wolves. He even stole my innocence. He tells me he keeps me for his wolf as it keeps him calm, but I think he is just a psychopath who gains a thrill in torturing me. His chosen is just like him and she also enjoys it when he causes me pain. ********************************************** My best friend (who is an omega like me) heard from the beta of a neighboring pack that his Alpha was looking for me.

When I thought of what my mate would look like I would close my eyes and see the red-haired girl from my past. I’ve never forgotten her because I was always enthralled by her beauty, even at her young age. With her red hair and green eyes, she reminded me of a goddess in the form of a seven-year-old. I was twelve at the time. One night I had a dream or possibly even a vision of a red-haired beauty in pain. When I saw the source of her pain being a man in bed with a blond, I felt enraged. I woke up sweating and with a lingering nagging feeling that I needed to find her. Is it true? Is she, my mate? I remember the man calling her name, Amethyst. I must find her. I must save her.

"Stay with me, Luna. Please. I can't lose you both." Her eyes were on mine and I could see the resolution and gratefulness in her eyes despite the pain. "You never deserved us. We were too good for you. If I had another chance," she whispered slowly pausing to breathe, "I would never stay with you. I would save my son from your indifference. I would spare us both the pain of loving someone who never loved us back." "I did love you," I insisted, tears rolling down my face. "I do love Ollie. Please, Luna." "Next time," she promised, a smile on her lips and tears running down freely her side of her eyes, "we'll be free." ****** Luna has tried her best to make her forced marriage to Xen work for the sake of their child.
