Introduction
Or at least, that’s what she tells herself. Because deep down, she has always believed she would never be enough to be chosen.
Then Alan moves in next door. Raised by a single mother, Alan has spent his life earning everything the hard way. He has ambition, discipline, and a future built with his own hands.
But there’s one thing he’s never had…a real childhood... and someone who stays. And when he sees Millie, surrounded by laughter and warmth, he knows he’s found what he’s been missing.
He doesn’t just want to be part of her world. He wants her. Slowly, patiently, he begins to break through her walls.
For the first time, Millie feels something unfamiliar, something terrifying—Love.
But just when she starts to explore these newly felt feelings, everything changes.
Daxton, her protector, her closest friend, the one who has always stood by her, confesses his deep-seated feelings for her.
Now Millie stands at a crossroads she was never prepared for.
The boy who feels like home…Or the one who makes her want more.
Chapter 1
Millie's POV.
"Oh, girl… get ready to lose this challenge and do whatever I say." Sammy, my bestie, said, rolling up his sleeves like he was about to fight a war instead of pulling out a stupid Jenga block.
I blew him a kiss. "In your dreams, sweetheart."
He shot me a grin, his dimple making its usual appearance. Slowly, carefully, he slid the block out. The tower didn't fall.
"YES!" he shouted, immediately breaking into the most ridiculous floss dance I had ever seen.
I groaned, dropping my head back. "Stop dancing, you dork."
It was then my turn. I stared at the Jenga tower as if it had personally offended me. One wrong move, and it was over.
And if I lost… I'd have to go on a date. With someone Sammy picks.
“Not possible… I’m Milie," I reminded myself. "Boys? Hard pass."
"Why don't you just accept defeat, Milie darling?" Sammy dropped down in front of me, wiggling his eyebrows as if he'd already won.
"Why would she?" Daxton, my other bestie, cut in, calm as always. "She's got this. Come on, Milie." I glanced at him. Daxton was different… quiet and shy, exactly the opposite of Sammy.
He was the kind of person who didn't need to be loud to be noticed.
"See?" Sammy groaned. "This is what I mean! I always come second. For her—and for you."
"Oh my God, stop being dramatic and watch me win." We were sprawled across my patio floor, the evening air warm, the smell of food drifting from inside.
I lay flat on my stomach, chin resting on my hands, eyes locked on the tower.
Sammy leaned in. "You know if you lose, I'm picking someone tall. Maybe a little—"
Daxton elbowed him. "Shut up."
I ignored him and just focused on the third row from the bottom. I tapped my index finger against the block. It shifted slightly.
"You've got this, Millie." I motivated myself, and confidence pumped inside me.
Slowly, I pushed it out further, my heartbeat syncing with the tiny movement. Almost there when—
"Kids, your pizza's here!" My Mom appeared all of a sudden, flinching me, and the tower collapsed before I could even blink.
"Oh, fuck!"
"AUNTY, PERFECT TIMING!" Sammy yelled, jumping up like he had won a championship. He ran straight to my Mom, hugging her before breaking into that stupid floss again.
"Finally! This brat is under my control!"
"Mom!" I snapped, scrambling up. "Was the pizza going to run away or something?!"
I lunged at Sammy, trying to stop him, but he grabbed my hands and dragged me into his dance instead.
"This doesn't count!" I protested. "Daxton, tell him—it’s unfair!"
But before Daxton could say anything, someone laughed, not a small laugh, but an unfiltered, I-ca n't-help-it kind of laugh.
We all turned to the voice. A tall, dark, handsome guy stood a few steps away, laughing as if he'd witnessed the best thing of his life.
Then he realised we were staring, and his chuckle immediately turned into a nervous smile.
"Uh—sorry," he said, raising his hands slightly. "I just… couldn't stop."
"You're Alan, right? Our new neighbour?" Mom jumped in, suddenly way too excited.
He blinked. "Yeah… I am. But—how do you—"
"I met your mom yesterday," she said quickly. "We got talking about families."
"Oh." He nodded, still a little confused. "Okay."
And then, my Mom grabbed me and pulled me away from Daxton.
"Mom—what are you doing?" I hissed. She ignored me completely.
"Alan, this is my daughter, Milie," she said, smiling like she was introducing me as a prospect. "And these two are like her brothers–Daxton and Sammy. They've been together since kindergarten."
Alan greeted everyone warmly. Sammy returned the smile. But me? I was fuming.
She pulled me away from Daxton. She called them my brothers. She might as well have announced to the world: I'm single.
When Alan's gaze shifted to me, I didn't smile, didn't nod, didn't even pretend. I just rolled my eyes and turned away deliberately. It was time for revenge.
"Come on, Daxton," I said, grabbing his arm. "Let's go inside. I'm starving. I need that pizza."
As I turned to the door, I gave him the fakest smile possible.
"If you like games, you can join them anytime," Mom added behind me. I stopped and turned.
"Oh no," I said sweetly. "We're not playing here anymore." Then I looked straight at him. "Maybe find someone else."
He froze. For a moment, I almost regretted it, but I pushed past it. This was not about him, but teaching my Mom a lesson.
I walked away. Daxton followed, mirroring my attitude with a quiet coldness. Behind us, I could hear my Mom scrambling to fix things.
"I'm so sorry. When she’s hungry, she just talks nonsense. She didn't mean it, right, Sammy?"
"Yes, yes, dude… don't mind her," Sammy added quickly. "She's completely unfiltered."
"Don't worry," Alan said calmly, too calmly. Something in his tone made me pause. "I have no shortage of friends."
I turned. Our eyes met, and I could clearly see his ego was bruised.
"Anyway, I should get going," he added, already stepping back, his eyes hooked on me, making something unsettled in my heart.
A second later, the front door slammed, and my Mom walked in. Her teeth gritted, nostrils flared up, looking daggers at me.
"Oh, god, please spare me another argument."

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.
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.
The Legacy Game
When scholarship student Chris Linds stumbles onto a mystery someone has killed to protect, she becomes the next target. The only person standing between her and death is Ashen Ford, the academy's cold, untouchable Student Council President—and heir to one of Corvain's founding families.
As anonymous invitations summon twelve students into the legendary Legacy Game, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and every challenge brings another deadly truth to light. But the greatest secret isn't who will win.
It's why one winner vanished without a trace... and why someone will do anything to make sure history repeats itself.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
Inked Adonis - Mafia Romance
Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree.
And he just. Texted. Back.
It's the dog's fault, really.
If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here:
With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen.
Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it.
(Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.)
He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.
I'm still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk.
“Methinks you had a little crush on him,” she accuses.
Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, “I’d wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.”
THAT'S when she reveals that she'd been recording my response.
THAT'S when she gives me the most devilish grin I've ever seen and says, “You're welcome.”
And THAT'S when she hands me my phone and reveals...
She sent the recording to him.
My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appear…
Then a text.
“PROVE IT.”

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.

Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
