Chapter 1
VIOLET'S POINT OF VIEW
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"The alarm clock blared really hard making me groan sleepily. I stretched out my hand to the clock and turned it off, laying back down on the bed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I immediately opened my eyes widely to see Sophia screaming loudly with her mouth wide open.
"What the hell do you think you're doing??"I shouted and she stopped screaming immediately staring at me.
"Mom told me to come wake you up"She said staring keenly at me.
"And is this how you wake up someone???, By screaming on top of your lungs??"I asked with a frown glaring at her cute face.
"Yes sis, look, you're awake now"She said and rushed out of my room.
"Such a pest"I muttered and yawned loudly before coming down from the bed. I looked at the clock in my room and sighed loudly. It's just 6:22am so why in Pete's name would mom send Sophia to come yell in my room?, I thought and rolled my eyes. I stood up with a soft groan and walked into the restroom to freshen up for school.
"Good morning mom......Good morning aunty Quinn"I muttered with a frown as I walked into the dining room.
"Morning Violet, how was your night?? "Aunty Quinn asked with a bright smile..
"It was splendid"I replied and sat down close to her.
"How was your night my child??"Mom asked and I frowned lightly.
"It was great, although I still wonder why you sent Sophie to come wake me up by screaming so loudly in my room this early morning"I said with a glare and noticed she pulled up a surprised look.
"What???...... Sophie, did you go to your sister's room today and scream??"Mom asked and we immediately turned to Sophie to see her putting on a guilty look.
"Yes mom, She wasn't waking up on time that's why I decided to wake her up with a scream"She said and bent her head immediately.
"You little pest,I even thought mom was the one that sent you, you've got some audacity don't you"i said glaring at her.
"I'm sorry sis, I...... I just wanted you to wake and prepare for school" She said and I rolled my eyes and huffed loudly.
"Okay that's enough talking, Don't cry Sophia...... I'm sure she just wanted to wake you up Violet....... . Come on Violet...... Don't be like that with your sister, I'm sure she doesn't mean any harm"Aunty Quinn said and I scoffed and began eating.
"Eat up Sophia, Your sis is not mad at you"I heard aunty Quinn said but I didn't bulge, I just kept on eating quietly.
"I'm done eating, I'll be on my way now "I said and stood up after some minutes.
"But.... But you haven't even eaten anything you've just been picking on your food"Mom said and I turned to her.
"I'm not that hungry, I'll eat in school cafeteria. Besides I'm sure Lilian is waiting for me outside the gate already"I said adjusting my bag.
"Okay dear, take care" mom and aunt said and I just nodded and walked out of the house.
"Good morning young miss"The maids and gaurds greeted as I walked past them and I just nodded slowly.
"Open up the gate"I said to one of the gateman and he opened up the gate for me.
"Thank you"I muttered and just as I walked out of the gate..... I heard a shriek and chuckled immediately I saw Niana,my bestfriend waving happily at me from her car.
"Good morning bestie"She said and hugged me tightly.
"Okay, someone is in a good mood"I said with a chuckle and she nodded.
"I am, Violet, I mean I didn't see you all weekend and I'm so happy to see you"She said and hugged me tightly again.
"Come on Niana that's enough, you wouldn't want us to go to school late,would you? "I said and she broke the hug and opened the car for me....we got in immediately......and her driver started the car.
"So how was your night and how was your weekend?? "She asked and I huffed and rolled my eyes dramatically.
"Okay ........looks like it didn't go quite right"She said and I nodded.
"First of all my mom made us go visit grandma during the weekend and you wouldn't believe what she took me there for"I said and cringed remembering the embarrassing moment.
"What?? "Niana asked staring curiously at me.
"She actually lied to me that she wants us to just go see grandma but it turned out that she took me there to make grandma check if I'm still a virgin,...... Like they told me to take off my pantie and spread my legs on the table...... I was so gobsmacked"I said and huffed loudly.
"What??, Your mom did that??..... And did they succeed?? "Niana asked and I scoffed loudly and shook my head immediately.
"I blatantly refused, I mean why would she even think of doing that to me?, I was so mad at grandma and mom"I said and Niana chuckled loudly .
"Wow..... Your mom is indeed weird, why did she all of a sudden want to check if you're a virgin or does she think you had s*x with someone??"Niana asked and I just rolled my eyes.
"I don't know Niana, I mean I don't get why she wants me to keep my virginity so badly...... I'm 19 and I can decide to have s*x when I'm ready and want to.......I'm an adult for Pete's sake"I said with a groan and relaxed back on the seat.
"Calm down Violet"
"No I won't, I wonder why she's so obsessed with me keeping my virginity........ Yesterday Jordan came home and was helping me with my assignment when mom barged into my room and told him to go downstairs. She warned me never to let him in my room again or she's going to ground me, can you believe it??......He's been my childhood friend for Christ sake "I said and frowned deeply immediately.
"She makes me so uncomfortable that I just can't wait to get into college and leave her alone. It's so annoying and creepy"I said and heard Niana hummed.
"Poor Jordan..... He must have been so shocked"She muttered and I nodded.
"He was,Niana, I had to beg him not to be angry"I said remembering the surprised look on Jordan's face.
"It's just a matter of time, bestie.... I can't wait for the time when we'll go clubbing together, and do so many other things......... You've never dated anyone before and I can swear you're missing out big time honey. It's our last year in highschool bestie, why don't you at least give a boy a chance and see how sweet love is....... You can't keep following your mom's weird advice..... At this rate she'll still tell you not to have s*x even if you get into college. Have you forgotten that she had said that when you turn 18 you can start going on dates, when you turned eighteen...... She suddenly said till you're done with highschool. I don't know but it's kind of weird"She said and I nodded slowly.
"The s*x part isn't my problem Niana..... I.... I just want to know what love is, I want to fall in love with someone.... I mean I'm 19 but still haven't got a boyfriend. I won't lie it's so lonely sometimes"I muttered and bit my lips.
"Soon bestie, I have a feeling that soon you'll find true love and that's when you and your mom will have a big problem"she said and i chuckled.
"I hope so too"I muttered and closed my eyes.
"But........ I actually think you should change the way you look before you can...... Maybe find love...."She said and I snapped my eyes open immediately.
"Excuse me girl,I don't understand...... Are you trying to say that I don't look good this way??"I asked with a slight frown and she gasped immediately.
"No.... No... No.... No Violet, That's not what I'm trying to say...... I'm just saying that you can maybe get rid of those glasses and use your eyes contact ......you can also let your hair down for once, you skirt is too long too...... I've seen you naked and sweetheart if you dress like me...... You're going to send most of the boys into the emergency room"she said and i chuckled unbelievably immediately.
"Did you just say all that to me Niana??...... I love the way I dress and if I have to change my dressing before I'll find true love then I'lld rather remain single forever"I said and she sighed out.
"Fine, don't change anything, I was just suggesting though...... I mean I've heard most of our classmates making fun of your dressing and to be sincere..... I don't like it"She said and I just nodded, trying not to push the conversation any further.
"You know me Niana..... I hate showing some skin and besides you know how much I hate drawing attention to myself. I've heard you and I'lld think about it"I said and she smiled lightly.
"So...... How's my cute little Sophia doing??"I heard her asked and immediately opened my eyes.
"That little pest, she's just like her mother......akways Making my life uncomfortable. Could you believe she just came into my room this early morning and began screaming her lungs out. Like how dare her "I muttered with a gritted teeth.
"Calm down Violet, you should look at your face right now..... You're literally removing smokes from your ears"She said with a laughter.
"It's not funny Niana, I almost cried this morning..... You don't know what God did for you as you're an only child, it's been hell for me"I said with a groan.
"Are you kidding me ,it's lonely being an only child,as a matter of fact....... I actually wish my mom atleast gave me a sibling"She said and I rolled my eyes.
"You don't know what you're saying bestie, I actually wish I am an only child. It's a good thing Zach and Zoey are going to a boarding school. What would have happened to me?? "I muttered to myself and heard her burst into laughter.
"It's because you have them Violet, you should be grateful you have siblings that will annoy you. They're most times that I wish I had at least one to make me mad too..... I guess God had other plans for me"She said and I turned to her immediately.
"You don't have to feel bad dear, I can borrow you my siblings if you want". I smiled lightly and relaxed back on the seat.
"Woah..... Did you see what's popping in the school group chat?? "She said after some minutes and I immediately opened my eyes to see her staring at her phone with wild eyes.
"And what's that?? "I asked.
"Dylan just posted on his instagram that he's back to being single...... He has broken up with Chloe again. Geez what's wrong with him?? "She said staring at her phone and I scoffed loudly immediately.
"This is getting too much, how could he break up with so many girls after dating them for two days?, He's such a badass playboy"She said and I scoffed again.
"I don't blame him Niana, it's the girls I blame. How can you date someone who keeps on breaking up with different girls every two days. It's just crazy"I said and rolled my eyes.
"Seriously Violet, I heard some of the ladies saying that it's because he's d*ck is so sweet..... ....Some said he spends lots of cash on his girlfriend while. Some were saying that they don't care and pray that he chooses them to date. I mean they're so damn dumb"She said and I nodded.
"So so dumb...... I mean I don't even see the cuteness they're talking about......he's just like every other boy"I said with a scoff.
"I hate to do this Violet but I'm going to have to disagree with that. When you speak of cuteness, height, hair, hotness.... walking style..... Voice..... I mean everything, Dylan is number one, I mean that's why all the girls are after him"She said and I scoffed loudly.
"Well I don't see all that Niana, As a matter of fact...... Austin is far more handsome than him and that's a fact. It's just that Dylan's family are more richer and of course, he's dad owns the school that's why the girls are choosing Dylan over Austin"I said and she rolled her eyes with a loud huff.
"Dylan is the main deal so quit saying that Austin is more handsome than Dylan"She said.
"Whatever Niana, It's not like I fan any of them. Besides...... They're both players and I hate players"I said and looked outside the window to see that we've already arrived at school.
"We're here"I said and she nodded and picked up her bag. Toby, her driver stopped the car in the parking lot and we immediately got down and began walking into the school.
"F**k why are they so many people in school right now, it's still quite early"She said and I chuckled.
"Seems like everyone wants to start the week on an early note"I muttered and she chuckled.
"I guess so.......miss Janet told us last week Thursday that we'll be having a biology test after she's done teaching this morning, i hope you read"I said and noticed she twitched her eyes immediately.
"You see...... I..... I didn't read much because of..... I.... I was having a running stomach, I don't know if you can help me during the test"She said with a stutter and I almost burst into laughter.
"It's obvious that you're lying young lady, you didn't have no running stomach.... You were online the whole weekend"I said and she chuckled nervously.
"Fine you got me,I didn't read at all"She mumbled and I rolled my eyes.
"You're so lazy and unserious"I mumbled and she chuckled and held my hand as we walked into the school together.
"I have you so I don't have to worry"She whispered.
"We walked into the classroom and I sighed happily when I saw that the annoying ones haven't came to school yet. Niana's seat is at my back and I swear I love it.
We sat down and I smiled staring at the few people in class.I immediately removed my books from my bag and adjusted my glasses going through them. I mean that's what I'm best known for.
"Oh my Goodness,Sorry I didn't introduce myself all this while. My name is Roland Violet, I'm a 19 years old nerd and not to brag but I'm really intelligent.I'm the first born of my parents. My dad is late, it's just my mom, my siblings and I.......Zack and Zoey are 14 years old and they're currently In a boarding school in Texas. The last born, Sophie, is 6 years old and believe me she's a pain in the a$$.
"Niana Is my one and only bestfriend and believe me she's been with me since day one. I love her so much and I'm glad she's my best friend. We started daycare together and now we're in highschool. She's an only child and her dad is also a politician... .. they're rich too......
"Here she goes again, I wonder why Niana is keeping someone like that as her friend"I heard and looked up to see Winifred glaring at me as she walked past my chair but I did'nt give her my attention.
"The nerdy nerd never disappoints"I heard whispered and turned to see some boys that I don't even know their name, giggling and glancing at me.
"Dumba$$"I muttered quietly and continued reading my book, when all of a sudden I heard a shrill scream and abruptly lift up my head to see that it's Austin that's walking into the classroom......and that's why the dumb ladies are screaming as usual. I mean why would they scream when the boys walk into the classroom???, I thought and rolled my eyes but just then noticed Austin glanced at me and scoffed before walking to the back. Okay....... it did look like I was rolling my eyes at him, I thought and bit my lips.
"Not long after the door opened and miss Janet walked into the classroom making everywhere go silent.
"Good morning"She said and walked to the board.
"Good morning miss Janet"We chorused back.
"So I told you guys that we will be having a test today after I'm done teaching, I hope you guys are prepared??"She asked and we said yes in unison.
"Are you through with what I asked you to work on?? , Class captain"She asked staring at me and I nodded. Yeah I'm the class captain while Silas is my assistant
"Yes ma'am, I've sent it to you via email"I said and she nodded.
"That's good, now....... Wait.... Where's Dylan??"She asked looking round the classroom.
"He's yet to come to school"Someone yelled from the back and she sighed.
"Well let's start then"She said and just then someone blew a loud bubble in class.
"Who did that?? "She asked and everyone turned to sugar immediately.
"Do you realize I'm about to teach???, remove the bubble gum and throw it away"Miss Janet said and she burst into laughter immediately.
"Did you just hear yourself Janet, you want me to take away my bubble gum?? "Sugar said rudely pointing at her chest.
"Yes sugar, But if you don't remove it you'll have to come to the front of the classroom and teach us. Who knows you might love teaching"Miss Janet said and everyone chuckled loudly. Of course, everyone knows that Sugar is dumb and she can't obviously teach nothing.
"Why would I even waste my whole life on being a teacher, It's dumb"She said and everyone in the room gasped immediately.
"Don't say that Sugar, It's really fun, Who knows...... You might love it some day"Miss Janet said and Sugar hissed loudly.
"It's for dumb people, who has no future........ And that's why you're all dumb..... I'm not taking off my bubble gum and that's final " She said and I couldn't help but to frown deeply.
"You know what???...... That's it young lady........ detention,Go to the principle's office"miss Janet said.
"But.... But...... I didn't do anything wrong. I'm just stating the fact "Sugar said with a huff and crossed her hands sissily.
"Right Now sugar...... Out of my class"Miss Janet said in a harsh tone pointing at the door.
"Fine, I'm out of your dumb class, it's not like you're even saying anything reasonable and I'm going to tell my daddy too"She said childishly and hissed loudly before walking out of the classroom, shaking her a$$ as she did.
"She's such a spoilt rotten brat"Niana whispered from behind me and i nodded.
"She's really a spoilt br@t"I muttered.
"Okay silence everyone and back to business"Miss Janet said and everyone stopped talking immediately.
The lesson ended at exactly an hour and I was a bit mad because I didn't want it to end.....miss Janet is damn good in biology and I really enjoy her as my teacher.
"Okay..... That will be all for today, We'll meet tommorow afternoon"She said making everyone confused.
"Wait..... I thought you said we'll be having a test today?? "I asked and noticed most of the students seconded.
"Yes Violet, but you know the rules dear, I can't give y'all test without Dylan..... It's against the school's policy"She said and I scoffed loudly.
"So because that bastard isn't here, we aren't going to have the test?? "I heard Austin said from the back.
"Stop acting like its the first time guys, I can't give you guys a test without Dylan. I'm going to get fired"She said and picked up her books walking out of the classroom.
"Wow.... In my next life...... I want to be like Dylan"Niana whispered from behind and I chuckled.
"We're having Chemistry next, I better go use the restroom before he disgraces me in from of the whole class again"I said and immediately stood up. The chemistry teacher had told me in front of the whole class that my bladder is leaking......i mean I was so embarrassed.....
I stood up and walked out of the classroom going into the female's restroom but immediately I walked in...... I was welcomed by an ungodly sound. Wait...... Is someone mastarbating in school??, I thought and got curious.
I tiptoed and stopped in front of the toilet that the sound is coming from but just as I placed my ear on the door.... The door opened and I looked up to see Dylan staring surprisingly at me......with two other girls in the toilet adjusting their extra short skirts.....
"Oh sh*t"I muttered and felt like entering the ground.
"Were you spying on us??? "He asked and I bent my head immediately.

However, one fateful day, the King of the Underworld appeared before me and rescued me from the clutches of the most powerful Mafia boss's son. With his deep blue eyes fixed on mine, he spoke softly: "Sephie... short for Persephone... Queen of the Underworld. At last, I have found you." Confused by his words, I stammered out a question, “P..pardon? What does that mean?”
But he simply smiled at me and brushed my hair away from my face with gentle fingers: "You are safe now.”
Sephie, named for the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, she's quickly finding out how she's destined to fulfill her namesake's role. Adrik is the King of the Underworld, the boss of all bosses in the city he runs.

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.

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?
From substitute to queen—her revenge has just begun!

Not loving him will cost more.
Derek has one goal: survive high school without drawing too much attention or pissing off his pack’s alpha.
As the youngest son of the alpha, his life is governed by lycan hierarchy, tradition, and politics. With no signs of awakening a lycan spirit, his only value is what he can do for the pack’s image. He knows he’s only ever one misstep away from exile… or worse.
Then, he finds a boy trapped in a locker on orientation day, and everything changes.
Derek shouldn’t want Nikolias. He’s off-limits. A risk Derek can’t afford.
So why does it feel like he’s the only thing worth fighting for?
Nikolias has just lost everything: his parents, his home, and any sense of peace. Sent back to the town his family left years ago to live with his prejudiced and controlling uncle, who wants nothing to do with anything—or anyone—not human, he’s trying to do everything in his power to get out quickly.
But then he meets Derek again, and all of his plans vanish in the soft, yearning flecks of gold in Derek’s green-hazel eyes. He’s drawn to Derek in a way that’s impossible to deny, and he thinks Derek feels the same way, despite the danger their relationship holds for him.
As Moonshadow's politics turn deadly, Derek and Nikolai are caught in the crossfire of a war that had started long before they were born, and their bond becomes a threat and a lifeline that neither can afford to sever.
Because the heart wants what it wants….

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

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.
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
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—
