Introduction
With each contact they had, the rules began to blur. What started as a marriage of convenience became anything but convenient.
Chapter 1
“No, grandfather. I will not marry her or anyone else.”
Grandfather Dominic sipped his coffee and raised his face to look at his protesting grandson, Damien. In a voice as calm as summer breeze, he responded,
“You have no option, no say. The wedding will be held this weekend. Be ready.”
Damien’s face greased into an even deeper frown. His grandfather’s indifference and calm demeanor at that time infuriated him the most. Well, that was his style; he didn’t need to raise his voice to give his orders.
“We need the Miller family to get this business deal. Think about the fame and power that will be yours. No one has ever gotten there.”
“Grandfather, I’ve done literally everything you ask me to do. I’ve always obeyed you but this.. I refuse! You took away the one I loved. I’m not getting married to any girl you arrange for me. If you are so eager to have a granddaughter in law, have that bitch marry Alex. After all, he’s your grandson too.”
Damien’s words seemed to have struck a nerve as a light frown appeared on the old man’s originally calm face.
“If Alex marries her, consider your position at the company as well as your inheritance his, too.”
“What? Grandfather…”
“This weekend. Now, be gone,” Dominic said in a voice that brooked no argument, dismissed him and returned to his coffee. Damian stormed out of the house in anger.
Damien Sterling, the favourite grandson of Dominic Sterling, was the most powerful Ceo and the richest man in the country. He was cold hearted, mean, feared and respected by all.
This mighty CEO in turn respected only one person, his grandfather, and obeyed him despite all odds.
He did everything the old man instructed him to do but this was an exception. A marriage to some random woman, and he was sure she was some gold digging slut, who agreed to marry him for his money.
“If Alex marries her, consider your position in the company and inheritance his too,” Grandfather’s words played in his head.
“Fuck!” he yelled, slamming his hands on the steering wheel.
Alex was his step brother and greatest rival. He would be a sore loser if he lost everything to him. He could imagine the smug look on Alex’s face as he took over the company, a position that was supposed to be his.
He loved a young girl, Charlotte, dearly and was willing to marry her but his grandfather kicked against it. He even went as far as sending the girl to a distant country, away from him.
Now, the old man was insisting that he marry a random girl for his own selfish reasons and was threatening him with losing his inheritance. Not just to anyone, but to Alex!
“Never!!” he swore, pressing his foot down on the accelerator, as if the solution to his problems lay in doing that. He would rather go ahead with the damned marriage than give Alex the last laugh.
The office was spacious and well lit, one that befitted his status as the CEO of a very popular company, Sterling Enterprise.
He had a pen in his hand and was endorsing his signature on some documents. The air around him was still and stiff, and his assistant knew better than making a careless move or comment.
“Sir…” he began, carefully choosing his choice of words.
“This is the picture of the woman whom your grandfather prepared…”
Damien put down his pen and gave him a look that spoke volumes.
“Are you tired of your job here? Do you want me to relieve you of your duties?”
“No sir… please, forgive me sir,” he apologized and hurried away.
Damien didn't want to hear anything about this lady. He was only getting married to her for his grandfather as well as to save his inheritance. He didn't care who she was, her name, or even the minutest detail about her.
The coming days were filled with his grandfather giving the final instructions and preparations for the wedding, all of which Damien showed no interest in. He insisted on having a silent marriage registration in court and nothing more.
The courtroom was quiet with only a few people present, and they were immediate family members. The bride, Sophia Miller, wore a simple Ivory sheath dress instead of a wedding gown. She chose that because she said this wasn’t a wedding but an exchange.
She sat beside her father who had the brightest smile on his face.
“Good child, now, you can be useful to your parents and repay us for all the good we’ve done for you all these years.”
Her mother, Clara, joined in, agreeing with her father.
“Your father is right. It’s time to contribute to this family for the first time, I’m sure it feels good to be productive. Now, put a smile on that face of yours.”
These were the people she called family. They were so eager to get rid of her for their personal gain.
Sophia was the third and last child of her parents, but they had never loved her since she was born. They wanted to have only two children so she was seen as a mistake.
Her mother loved her elder brother more while her father loved her older sister. She was in the middle, left unloved and treated as an outcast in the family. She was seen as the one that ruined the perfect number the family had.
When the offer to redeem the family business by marrying one of their children to the cold hearted CEO, her parents didn’t hesitate to push her off. It didn't matter to them in any way that this man was ruthless and would treat their daughter with indifference.
Thirty seven minutes had passed since the time for the wedding but there was no sign of the groom.
The judge checked his watch twice and grandfather tapped his walking stick on the floor in anger. He had come to personally witness the wedding but his brat of a grandson decided not to show up. Not only that, he wasn’t answering the old man’s calls.
It was pretty clear that the groom had pulled back and abandoned the bride in the courthouse.

Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
The Game of Claiming
A drunken bet becomes their private game: win the maid.
The rules?
Don’t let the others know you’re falling for her.
And never, ever let her leave.
But each brother plays differently—
The eldest buys her obedience.
The second steals her breath.
The third corners her in the dark.
The youngest ruins anyone who touches her.
Lila isn’t sure if she’s a player in their game… or the prize they’ll destroy each other to claim

Then a mysterious billionaire offers her a deal that sounds too good to be true.

He is the Alpha of the Nocturne Pack, cursed by an ancient bloodline that is slowly driving him toward madness and death. His only hope lies in finding the legendary Aethon Orb—or the prophesied mate destined to save him.
When Alex discovers that Avery can draw symbols connected to the long-lost artifact, he offers her a contract she cannot refuse: become his fake fiancée for six months in exchange for enough money to erase her debts and save her home.
What begins as a business arrangement quickly becomes something far more dangerous.
As they search for the missing Orb, Avery is drawn into a hidden world of werewolves, ancient prophecies, and deadly pack rivalries. Powerful enemies want Alex's throne. A jealous Alpha heiress wants Avery gone. And a ruthless rival Alpha will stop at nothing to claim the Orb for himself.
But the greatest secret of all may be Avery herself.
Because the closer she gets to Alex, the more impossible truths begin to surface about her past, her strange abilities, and the destiny that has been waiting for her all along.
With a curse threatening Alex's life, enemies closing in from every side, and a forbidden bond growing stronger by the day, Avery must decide whether to walk away from the dangerous Alpha who needs her—or risk everything for a love written by fate itself.
In a city where secrets kill and destiny cannot be escaped, can a fake engagement become a love powerful enough to change the future?

Bound by the Dragon Mafia
The head chef looked like he was silently praying for death.
I rushed forward. “Amara. Stop traumatizing these poor people.”
She spun around, delighted. “Sera! Good, you’re here. Taste this. It’s missing despair.”
The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.
I grabbed her arm. “Put the spatula down.”
“But—”
“Down.”
With exaggerated offense, she dropped the spatula and muttered, “Fine. But if no one here has artistic vision, that’s not my fault.”
She went undercover to expose a mafia empire.
He offered her thirty nights to save her life.

HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.
