Introduction
When she arrived at the apartment, the door was painted red with elegant golden trim. All the other doors around her were red, but this was the only door with golden trim. She dismissed the thought as this was all new to her, on top of the fact that she just couldn't wait to see how fully stocked it was. As she turned the key in the lock, little did she know that this was not the life she was expecting. No sooner than she closed the door and placed the keys down on the table behind the door, did the lights go out, and her new nightmare begin.
It wasn't until 10 years later that she was finally able to escape from her torturous captors. She flees through the woods and ends up in a clearing at the back of a huge mansion. She thought she was dreaming. The sun just came up. A single man stood on the terrace. He saw her crouching by a large potted bush. He calls out, frightened, and she runs towards the edge of his property, in the direction of the open sea. She's barely wearing anything. A thin garment, pale complexion, as to the conditions where she was being kept. Wearing scars: beaten. She slips through a narrow tree passage. He held tight to her garment. She slipped over the cliff, falling into the water below, completely naked.
Chapter 1
Aliana Slate's POV:
I cannot believe this day has finally come. Graduation day was finally here! I've looked forward to this day for the past four very long years. Over the past six months, I have been sought after by various prestigious art studios across the country, but none of which I wanted to work with.
However, little did I know that the letter I received last night was the one I had been hoping for, but never figured I was good enough to receive. It was from the leading art studio in the country. They were even based here in my very city! On top of that, I even have an interview with them tomorrow. I couldn't wait to bring my portfolio along.
"Allie, where are you going to sit?" Claire called out to me.
I laughed, standing there in my dark purple cap and gown. I even reached up, fixed my tassel, and placed it on the proper side of my cap. I hadn't graduated yet, so I couldn't place it on that side till after the ceremony.
"Right beside you, of course," I called back to her.
This was a momentous occasion. She reached out, quickly wrapping her arm around mine as we both walked to get in line. We made our way to our seats, and before too long, the ceremony officially started. There was minimal chatter among the graduates, but most of it came from Claire.
Claire tugged on the outer edge of my gown at my shoulder, and when she leaned her head closer, she whispered, "I have a special surprise for you."
"Oh yeah?" I asked, whispering back as I slightly turned to look at her. "Please tell me it's not another lost puppy."
"Oh no, I know you're not allowed any sort of pets at that new apartment of yours," she whispered again, chuckling to herself. "It's a whole lot better than that."
"What is it this time?" I couldn't help but ask, just as the last person in the row in front of us heard their name called.
"A few friends and I are going to the bar after this for a graduation celebration party. They wanted to invite you too!" I turned to look at her dead on, completely surprised.
Claire knew how busy I was. I've never been one to go out with anyone else, except Claire. She conformed to my schedule, and I appreciated that. Suddenly, she stood up on her feet, tugging my arm along as it was our turn to walk up to the stage and receive our certificates of graduation. I held my head high as I made my way up the center aisle and over to the front of the stage.
"Aliana Slate," I heard my name called over the loudspeaker.
I smiled as I walked across the stage, each foot placed with grace. Even making sure I stopped to take a photo with my certificate in hand, all before returning to my seat. I was filled with excitement that I could hardly contain myself.
After that, the rest of the graduation proceeded in a flash. Now it was time for all the graduates to stand and throw their caps up into the air. Claire held tight to my hand as we all shouted with excitement. We were finally done with all the hectic schedules and back-to-back tests.
"Hey, girl, you have to ride with me!" Claire spoke loudly enough for me to hear.
"Yeah, but what about my car?" I asked her over the roar of the other graduates.
"It'll be fine," she replied as we slowly made our way over to her family. We continued our conversation as she added, "Don't worry, your car will be just fine right where you left it."
As we reached her family, Clarissa, Claire's mother, called out to us. "Girls, I'm so proud of you both. I bet you must feel so proud."
"I know I am," I said, turning around, trying to figure out exactly where my extended family was.
They were supposed to take a flight in the town, but the last message I received was that their flight had been delayed. So, as far as I knew, they completely missed my graduation altogether.
Claire was still holding tight, her elbow wrapped around mine as she was practically bouncing on her toes.
"I know I am," Claire said as she turned to look at me. "However, Allie here already has an interview set up for tomorrow!"
"Is that so?" Clarissa asked, with a decent thrill in her tone. "You simply must tell me everything."
"We don't have time for that right now, Mom. We simply must get ready for the graduation party!" Claire cut me off from even saying anything.
"All right, well, you two girls be careful now," Clarissa called out as Claire already turned me to walk away from her family. "I wish you the best of luck tomorrow, Aliana!"
"Thanks, I appreciate it," I called back over my shoulder when I turned back to look at Claire. Then, in a more normalized tone, I said, "Thanks, I needed that."
"Oh, I know how my mother can be," Claire responded as we immediately headed over to her car.
"Intrusive?" I asked as she walked me to her passenger door first. "Hey, why don't we stop by the dorm so I can change first?"
"Are you kidding me? So you can get your phone and be stuck in chat all night long, I don't think so," Claire responded, opening up the passenger door. She patted me on the top of my shoulder, gently pushing me towards the open seat. "No, I think I'll have you to myself for the remainder of the evening. Besides, I have a gift I needed to bestow upon you as well later."
"I hope it's nothing bad," I said, taking my seat and fastening my seatbelt.
Right before she closed the door, she leaned down, looking into my face and saying, "This is an experience you're not likely to forget."
Finally, we were sitting at a table at Claymore's Bar. Even though I was present physically, my mind just wasn't in this. I couldn't help but dwell on the fact that I didn't have my phone to check my messages, including confirmation of tomorrow's interview promptly at 9 AM.
"Oh! Allie! I have something for you," I heard Claire shout out to me over the various conversations in the bar. I swiftly turned to look at her as she walked up to me with a small black box perched in her hands.
"What's this exactly?" I couldn't help but ask.
"This? This is the gift I told you," she said with a cheerful tone. I took a sigh of relief, realizing it wasn't an animal or even a goldfish in a bowl. "I took the liberty of having this picked up for you."
"Oh?" I asked, my curiosity piqued. "What's that exactly?"
"You just have to open it and find out," she said, reaching out as I took the lid off the box.
With the lid cover removed, I saw a single key with a red tag: #617.

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.
Goddess Of The Underworld
When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armour, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of an orphan pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to be better. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.
A pack of their own
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates

But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.
——————————————————

Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
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.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
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.
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.
Invisible To Her Bully
Falling For The Biker: The Vice President's Girl
His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth.
"It's wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for just standing this close. But tell me, little bird" his breath ghosts my skin, "are you trembling because you hate me… or because you've wanted this just as much as I have?"
Wren thought she'd buried the chaos of New Orleans for good—the clubs, the blood-soaked loyalties, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she ever wanted: freedom, love, a future.
But one betrayal shatters it all.
Dragged home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax—the Raven Reapers MC's vice president and her brother's best friend. He's infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting for a man she should never touch.
And the deeper Wren is pulled back into his world, the more she realizes nothing about her past—or about Ezra—is what she believed.
In the chaos of gang wars, mounting debts, and old betrayals, he becomes the one constant. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more lethal his pull becomes.
Because in this world, love isn't sweet.
It's brutal. Bloody.
And it's bound to break them both.
When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?
