Introduction
Annoyed and frustrated with her life, Zarlia decided to go to the club to have fun, believing that she can also have a man without him.
Only for her to wake up with a fang near her neck. Excuse me, I think I just slept with a werewolf. And this werewolf is my future boss!
Chapter 1
Zarlia, hurry up and come over to wash these dishes." Manager Leo yelled loudly which made Zarlia sigh in unhappiness.
All this cleaning should have been done by Letisha, but Letisha suddenly complained of being sick and with that, Manager Leo gave her a day off which made all the work in the restaurant fall on Zarlia's neck.
Zarlia disliked Letisha with passion, but she had no choice but to go with the restaurant work for now without complaining because the manager liked Letisha more and Zarlia had no other work; Zarlia only hoped and prayed her application was accepted by the Stetson Empire this time.
That was her thought when a ping sounded on her phone. Zarlia quickly picked up her phone and tapped the message.
Thanks for your application to Stets Empire. We are impressed by your background and would like to invite you to interview.
Boom! Zarlia staggers in disbelief.
"Yes!" Zarlia dropped the napkin she was using to clean the table and a happy smile blossomed on her face.
Finally, she could leave this damn work.
"I said. You should hurry up, you have work to do in the kitchen!" Manager Leo yelled in anger which made her arch her brows lazily.
"Excuse me, Mr. I'm done with your damn work. Perverted man." Zarlia yelled loudly and dashed away from the restaurant to tell the news to her parents hoping they'd be proud of her this time.
Three years ago, Zarlia had begun to hunt for jobs in big companies, but she had failed woefully, so she had no choice but to stick with working in Manager Leo's Restaurant.
Manager Leo was a perverted man, and she had caught him making out with Letisha in the past. He tried to make advances on Zarlia, but she refused, which made him torture her by making her work harder.
Zarlia's house from the restaurant was fifteen minutes away, but she moved from her parent's house due to the humiliation that followed joblessness after graduating.
Soon Zarlia arrived at the house, she was about to knock on the door when she heard some words which made her freeze at the door.
'That Zarlia bitch. My biggest mistake was taking her in that day. I should have just thrown her away. She's so useless, just like her parents who died in a car accident. After raising her for so many years, she wasn't beneficial at all. Instead, she's a useless person who works in a stupid restaurant.' Her mother, no, fake mother said.
'Mummy, let's just kick her out then.' the useless brother of the family said.
'We can't kick her out, she's not staying here anymore anyway. But since she's very naive, let's continue to collect the money in her hand. At least we can use that to enjoy life. Who knows if she will find a better job later…
Zarlia staggered back in disbelief. It turns out that she wasn't from this family. She finally understands why her younger brother was always chosen above her and pampered even when he was in no way beneficial; it turns out that it was because he was the real son while she wasn't their family.
A tear slipped past Zarlia's eyes, and she wondered if to go in or not, but after a few seconds of contemplation, Zarlia was unable to face these wicked people, so she decided to go to Romero's place for comfort.
Romero's embrace is warm, he'd comfort her and tell her everything is fine. Soon Zarlia arrived at Romero's place.
She had a key in her hand, and soon she opened the door, but some moans began to drift into her ears immediately after she entered the house which shocked her.
Before she could take steps forward to wonder what was amiss, a familiar voice that she loathed so much began to speak.
"Romero, tell me who does it better between the both of us?" Letisha cried out.
"What do you mean?" Romero roared in anger. "That bitch never let me touch her. Not even once since the last two years that we have been dating."
Romero's words made Letisha grin happily, "Let her continue taking care of the restaurant while I continue to take care of her boyfriend."
"You're so naughty. You know I'm only with her because of the money, but that bitch always gives most of her money to that useless family of hers and only gives little to me…" Romero was saying, but before he could finish his words, a picture frame was suddenly thrown toward his head which made him and Letisha shocked.
They raised their heads to see a raging Zarlia, "Fuck you. I put food on the table every day. I pay for the rent yet you nonentity neverappreciated that. Before I come back I want you and that useless bitch out of my house." She yelled and immediately walked out of the house in annoyance.
All the anger she felt inside her dissolved immediately she walked out of the apartment and tears began to trickle down her eyes, "Why? Why is this happening to me? I tried my best to be good to everyone around me, why didn't they appreciate me for once, why?"
Soon, Zarlia wiped her eyes. Maybe it's because she has always been a good girl all the time; it's time to stop the good girl act.
"If Romero can cheat, I can cheat also."
Tonight, she'd go to the club and find a man who can help her forget all this frustration. And by tomorrow she'll move on.
When Zarlia entered the apartment, Letisha flashed her a cunning smile, but she pretended not to see and went to change her clothes.
Zarlia was satisfied by what she saw, and she took out her savings while promising to have fun tonight.
Romero was shocked by her beauty when she came out because throughout their time together, she has always dressed as a nerd but with Letisha's comfort, he snapped out of it.
Ignoring the cheating duo, Zarlia walked out of the house, and soon she was in the club.
Zarlia was having the fun of her life when she felt a strong force.

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.

I’m not here to rescue anyone.

Especially not someone like her.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.

In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?

.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."

Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.

Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
