Introduction
At Salvation, a hidden academy for the supernatural, she is an outcast. While navigating the school's rigid hierarchies, tormented by elitist bullies, and finding an unlikely friendship with a wolfless shewolf, Amaya finds herself torn between her two mentors, caught in a tempestuous love triangle that challenges the very definitions of light and dark.
Amaya is plagued by her most terrifying vision yet: the death of the creator god, Zohar. When cosmic disasters begin to ravage the Earth as a god dies, the horrifying truth is revealed. In their shared grief and guilt, the walls between Amaya, Malik, and Ryker crumble, leading to a night of intimacy that irrevocably forges them into something more than just a woman and her two guardians. With Zohar’s throne empty, his ancient, jealous brother emerges to claim all of creation. As Salvation becomes the last bastion in a war for existence, Amaya learns of an ancient prophecy of the Dark Mother. To save everyone she loves, Amaya must not only master her power but become the living embodiment of that prophecy, uniting her Saint and her Sinner to face a god and decide the fate of a new, godless age.
Chapter 1
“To the eyes that can see beauty, every moment there is creation, every moment destruction. There is no absolute creation, no absolute destruction. Both are movement, and that is eternal." – Ramana Maharshi.
The scent of the shop was a contradiction I cherished: the earthy aroma of dried herbs—lavender, chamomile, and something deeper, like soil—mingled with the clean, metallic tang of sterilized equipment. It clung to me, a second skin. I adjusted a row of amber bottles on the polished mahogany shelves, their crisp white labels a stark contrast to the bundles of dried sage hanging from the rafters. Belladonna extract. Tincture of digitalis. Elderflower infusion. My fingers brushed the glass, cool and solid. A tremor ran through me. Not from the cold.
Smoke. Acrid, choking. The shriek of metal tearing, wood splintering. A child's scream, not my own. A flash, then darkness. Then the suffocating weight of helplessness.
I pressed my thumb against a bottle of willow bark, the memory a ghost at the edges of my vision. My breath hitched. That was the chaos. This, now, was control. My world. Order.
Dole's Apothecary hummed around me, a gentle thrum of quiet perfection. On one side, the gleaming chrome and glass of the modern dispensary. On the other hand, the dark wood and ancient wisdom of the herbalist. Sunlight, strained through the antique glass of the front window, painted dusty motes in the air. My white lab coat, starched and crisp over my simple clothes, rustled as I moved between the two worlds. The polished counter bridged them, reflecting neat rows of prescription vials and hand-labeled tinctures.
I gathered the ingredients for Mrs. Gable's custom blend. Rosemary, for memory. Lemon balm, for calm. A touch of valerian, for rest. The precise measurements, the careful grind of the mortar and pestle, the rhythmic pour of the liquid—each motion a meditation. My hands moved with practiced grace, a dancer performing a familiar, soothing choreography. The amber liquid swirled, blending into a perfect, harmonious whole. This was my mastery. This was my solace.
The bell above the door jingled, a bright sound that broke the hushed quiet.
"Amaya, dear, are you there?"
A smile touched my lips. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Gable."
The elderly woman shuffled in, her sensible shoes squeaking on the polished wood floor. Her floral scarf, a splash of vibrant color in the muted shop, seemed to wilt around her shoulders. "Oh, it's this dreadful, dreadful draft. My joints, you know. They just seize up. And the memories… they keep me up at night." She wrung her hands, her gaze drifting to the ornate ceiling.
I moved to the counter, my voice soft but steady. "The wind picked up this morning. Did you try the lavender balm on your temples? It often helps with the restless nights."
Mrs. Gable sighed, a long, rattling sound. "I did, I did. But this old brain of mine just runs. Like a hamster on a wheel, dear. Round and round." She peered at the small, cloth-wrapped package in my hand. "Is that it, then? My little potion?"
"Just so." I presented the bottle. "Rosemary to sharpen the mind during the day, lemon balm for tranquility, and valerian to ease you into sleep." I tapped the glass. "A few drops in warm tea before bed. Don't take too much, now. Valerian can be rather potent."
Mrs. Gable's eyes crinkled at the corners. "Potent, you say? Perhaps a little extra wouldn't hurt. I did run into that dreadful Mr. Henderson at the market. His tomatoes are simply ghastly this year."
I chuckled, a low, melodic sound. "Even ghastly tomatoes require a clear head, Mrs. Gable. Stick to the recommended dose." I lowered my voice slightly. "And perhaps a quiet evening, away from garden produce discussions."
Mrs. Gable laughed, a surprisingly robust sound. "You always know how to make an old woman feel better, dear. Thank you. This world… it just keeps spinning faster, doesn't it? Hard to keep up." She tucked the bottle into her capacious handbag. "You're a godsend, Amaya. A real godsend."
I watched her go, the bell chiming a farewell. The afternoon light softened, painting long shadows across the floorboards. Mrs. Gable, with her complaints and her garden woes, was a comforting constant. This life, built on routine and simple remedies, felt safe. Predictable. Ordered.
But as the door closed and the silence settled, a quiet hum stirred beneath my ribs. A tiny, discordant note in the symphony of my control. My life was a meticulously constructed fortress, every stone placed to avoid the chaos that had once consumed me. But a fortress, I realized, also kept things out. Not just risk, but… something else. Something vibrant. Joy? Maybe even, just a little danger.
I turned to the belladonna, a potent poison, its power harnessed and controlled in my practiced hands. A stray breeze, or so I thought, kissed the back of my neck. A chill, sharp, and sudden coursed through me. The overhead fluorescent lights flickered, a momentary stutter that plunged the rows of bottles into brief shadow. Glass jars on the shelves rattled, a soft, almost inaudible hum, then stilled. I frowned, scanning the room. Nothing. Just a trick of the light. Fatigue, perhaps.
The bell chimed again. A new customer.

Mates: Regrets and Redemption
With my heart in pieces, I sought solace in the last place I expected—my Alpha's arms. One night turned into a dangerous entanglement, and now my Alpha refuses to let me go. As the Alpha’s obsession grows, I'm caught in a web of desire and fear.
Curtis, the boy I once loved, still holds a promise I made, but the Alpha’s powerful presence pulls me deeper into his world. Should I forgive Curtis and keep my word, or should I risk everything for a chance at something wild and unpredictable with the Alpha who won’t take no for an answer?
“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.
The Hunter and The Hunted
Mihai’s hand slowly slides up my stomach, his fingers wrapping around my neck as he cuts of my ability to breathe, black spots clouding my vision, and yet, I am not afraid. I want more. I want everything that he can give to me.
He slowly inserts a third finger, the intense fullness that I feel teetering me over the edge of a cliff I cannot even see, and then he sucks and pulls at my clit. Sparks erupt throughout my body, the orgasm shaking my soul, and destroying what was left of my resistance.
She was the Daughter of a Hunter, he was one of the creatures that her family had sworn to destroy, what could possibly go wrong?
When their worlds collide, who will be left standing, will it be the hunter or the hunted, and which is which?
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.
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else . I could still feel his touch, it was as if it was etched into my skin. I tired to avoid him but fate wouldn't let it happen.
The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.
As an orphan finding out you still have people looking for you is hard to take but when it turns out to be people of wealth and standing I took the other road and ran, but running led me right back to the place I was avoiding and the person I was avoiding.
Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.
Lightborn: The Demon’s Bond
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.

This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.

The Vampire Prince's Hybrid Bride
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...
From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
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."
