Bound to the Alpha I hate

Introduction
Bound and marked to be burned alive, she expects a brutal end. Instead, a single touch from the devastatingly handsome Alpha changes everything.
For twenty-nine years, Jeremy has been frozen by a dark curse—unable to feel desire for any woman. Until Zoe. Her touch is the only medicine that wakes his inner beast.
Spared from the fire but condemned to his torment, Zoe is made his slave. By day, she endures the pack's cruelty. By night, she belongs entirely to the Alpha who vows to break her. But the Moon Goddess plays the ultimate trick: they are fated mates.
When a deadly conspiracy forces Jeremy to pull the trigger on her himself, he thinks he’s buried his problem. He doesn’t know Zoe survived. He doesn't know she's carrying his secret heir—the most powerful Alpha ever conceived. And he certainly doesn’t know that the mysterious, lethal foreign princess entering his pack months later is the very same slave girl returned to burn his kingdom to the ground...
One trigger. Two enemies. A bond written in blood.
Chapter 1
Zoe's POV
"I'll ask you this only once because I don't like repeating myself... If you dare me after this, I think we all know what happens next."
His voice was angry and cold. I knew he meant every word.
"You better kill me now." I coughed the words out with leftover blood in my mouth. "Just kill me now because I won't say anything you want to hear."
I could see his anger piling up. I don't know what made him more angry...that I tried to murder him a few hours ago and my bullet hit his sister instead, or that I won't tell him who sent me.
"You must think those fools who sent you really care about you. You're willing to die for them?" He laughed but not the kind type.
"What makes you think someone sent me, Alpha?" I forced my head up to look at him. "And even if someone did, what makes you think I'll tell you? Just do what you people do the best here. Kill me."
The words came out smooth like I practiced them. Maybe I did.
I thought I was ready for this. I knew I had two options...kill him and run away before anyone gets to me, or kill him and get caught. But I wasn't ready for this third option where my bullet missed him and I still got caught. But my mind was made up, I'll take my secrets to the grave.
"Put her on torture B." He said with a fake smile.
I didn't know what that meant but I could tell he was so sure that would get me to talk.
A well-dressed guy standing near him...I think he was the Beta...winked at one of the men who'd been beating me since they caught me. The man walked to a fire pot in the room and pulled out a sword from the flames.
I became scared. Of all the punishments I imagined, this wasn't close to it.
The man walked to me without saying a word. He kicked me to the floor hard. Then he hit me with the hot sword.
It barely missed my belly and burned my back instead.
I screamed so loud, hoping the pain would just kill me at once.
"Speak." That cold voice commanded again. I didn't look up but I knew it was him.
"You're almost there," I whispered through the pain. I hoped he could hear me. "Few more hits and I'll be gone."
"Raise her freaking head up!" he screamed.
I could tell my words made him angry.
"Who the hell do you think you are?...Everyone who knows me knows I don't forgive any fool who crosses my lane... I promise you..."
He stood up from his chair and walked to the fire pot, pulled out another hot sword and came close to where I was kneeling.
He lifted my jaw with the hot sword. I groaned in pain. I could feel my skin melting against the hot iron. The pain got worse but I'd burned myself with fire before while training for this day. I'd prepared myself.
"Since you want to die so badly, I'll kill you piece..by...piece. Melting every part just like this until I reach your soul."
These weren't just threats. I could tell from his cold voice and deadly stare that he meant every word.
"Put more swords in the fire. Let's finish this." He told his guards. His voice got even colder as he fiix his gaze on me.
I could tell he'd done this before. I knew I was ready for death and torture but was he really going to melt me to death?
I watched him give the sword to a nearby guard. "Put that back in the fire. It's too cold already."
Then he bent down in front of me.
"You want death, you little weak thing? Death is what you'll get." He brushed some hair away from my face. His look was deadly, like he wanted me to feel his power.
"Where should we start, you poor thing?" He said in a mocking voice. He traced my whole face with his finger.
"Maybe your eyes that led you to my Pack." He traced circles around my eyes. This scared me more than the hot sword.
"Or your nose? Oooh! I think I know." He paused at my nose and made an evil little laugh before moving on.
Now I was really scared. I knew I promised myself I wouldn't talk but I didn't know how much longer I could hold on to the secret.
"What do you think about melting your tongue first?" He said it like a joke and forced my mouth open by poking it with his fingers.
I shut my eyes tight from the pain. I didn't want to look at his eyes because they promised worse than death.
But I opened them fast when I heard him groan sharply. He pulled his hands out of my mouth quick. His eyebrows went up. His eyes went wide like he just stuck his hands in hell itself.
Now I was shocked too. I swear I didn't bite him. So why did he react like that? And why was he staring at me like that?
Before anyone could think about his groan or I could understand what was happening, he groaned again. This time louder. He shut his eyes super tight like he was trying to keep the pain inside.
"Are you okay, Alpha?" The Beta guy rushed to him. He looked at me like I was dead meat.
"I swear, I didn't bite him! It's not me! I don't..." I was confused and scared as the words stumbled out.
He waved his hand gently at the Beta guy like saying let her be. Then he slowly opened his eyes. His mouth was still open a little. He stared at me. His eyebrows went up and down like he was looking at a ghost.
"Guys, let's take a break. Keep working on her. I'll be back." The Beta said this while lifting the Alpha up.
The Alpha kept staring at me even as they walked him out of the dungeon. He couldn't stop looking at me like something impossible just happened.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
CHASING GHOSTS
The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife
Bloodright
Ashveil University is not what it looks like in the photographs. The students here carry something that shifts their eyes at the edges of anger. The northwest trees hold an attention that trees should not be able to hold. And the empty chair at the council table, the one nobody sits in, the one nobody explains, has been waiting three hundred years for one specific person to arrive.
Nobody told Adaline she was that person. They classified her as Dormant. A blank space in a file. Nothing.
She is the opposite of nothing.
Beneath the campus, three ancient entities are waking up. Every house in the pack world wants to control what runs in her blood. The boy sent to assess her has stopped being able to do his job. And the woman who has been three steps ahead of everyone since before Adaline was born is not a villain. She is a warning. She is what Adaline would have become if nobody had found her.
The suppression field holding everything together is failing. The clock is running. And the only way to stop what is coming requires Adaline to give up the thing she can least afford to lose.
She already knows her answer. She decided before anyone told her the full price.

Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret
“Who said that’s still fucking true? We stopped being just man and surrogate the first time our eyes met.” He walked towards me, boring into my eyes with those eyes of his. “I fucking want you, Vanessa.”
My heart stuttered.
This could not be real.
“But the rules—“
“I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.
It was killing me.
Vanessa Sterling who never liked men because of what her father did to her mother ended up having a drunken one night stand with a stranger and that might end up changing her life forever.
Rodri Darnell who doesn’t want to get married or have kids but is forced to give his father a grand child, decided to use a surrogate.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
My Alpha's Fake Luna
Those were the last words my Alpha whispered before he severed our bond.
I believed our marriage was over.
I was wrong.
For two years, I thought Alpha Michael never loved me.
Every misunderstanding pushed us farther apart.
Every silence broke another piece of my heart.
While another woman slowly took my place.
But everything changed after the death of the Grand Alpha.
My mate began watching me.
Protecting me.
Holding me whenever I fell.
Looking at me like he was terrified of losing me.
If he hated me...
Why did he keep risking everything for me?
And why did everyone panic the moment I finally chose another future?
