Chapter 1
Rosetta's pov
"You're lucky to be getting out of here. Don't blow it on the outside" The correctional officer shot a hard glare at me.
The release officer who was signing my discharge form chuckled. "Don't mind him. You've been a pleasure to have here, Rosetta"
"I know her better…" the correctional officer's lips raised in a sneer as he looked up and down at me. "All she does here is be in gatherings of men that are way stronger than her and challenge them to a press-up"
"I am finally free from you Officer Ben" I muttered. "And don't worry. I'm going to do good on the outside. You will hear my name in all of your mouths."
"It better not be for crimes."
"I do not promise you that," I said, walking out the door leading to the parking lot.
Two years, yeah. That's right. Two freaking years in this fun hole. A punishment turned into a blessing, with amazing people and experience. Jail was not that bad.
I looked around in search of my boyfriend's car. He knew my release date and a call was put through to him yesterday to remind him.
He should be here by now. He was the first person I wanted to see since he never came to visit me once.
I looked around some more and when I realized he wasn't there I frowned. Why wasn't he here? I took out my phone from my pocket and dialed his number but it could not go through.
"Fuck!" I said out loud, with my hands on my hips. I paced the walkway outside the prison gates. If I had a means of transportation, I would be out of here in an instant.
"Hey!" I heard a familiar voice call out as I turned and saw Jessie running towards me. I couldn't help the smile that crossed my face and immediately my arms opened wide to receive her.
"Oh my God I can't believe you are finally out," she said and I laughed, hugging her tightly.
"Goodness, I missed you! You do not look like the mess I expected!" She said again, pulling herself away from me a little so I could look at her face.
"My calendar and alarm didn't fail to remind me that you were coming out today. I had rushed here to get you! Sorry, I'm late."
Now that was someone who cared. My best friend was the only prison guest I had during my stay. The last time she visited was a month ago and I had always looked forward to seeing her.
"I'm happy you came" I softly said and she pouted. Her eyes were teary like she had long heard my voice.
"I love you Rosetta and I'm the happiest girl to see you back into my life" Tears rolled down her cheek and I rolled my eyes, scoffing.
"Please don't do that. You have not changed."
"And you're still the same emotionless prick. Isn't this such an emotional moment?"
"It is not," I responded.
"Let's get you out of the sun and talk in the car," she said, after squinting for a while. She pulled my arms as we walked towards her car parked away from the gate.
There were burning questions to ask her. I wanted to ask her about how life had been two years without me. Most especially, I wanted to ask her about Bruce.
Why had he not come to visit me? Was he safe? Jessie and Bruce were the only ones who treated me like a human since I had been living with the Mafia monster Zayn Cutolo. If there was no one by my side, these two would always show up. Now it was just Jessie.
"You look great." I complimented them when we got to the car and Jesse blushed. "You finally got all of those smooth skin you've been praying for?"
"I had and it is expensive as hell. Got a job at the famous Mafia club in town" she whispered like she didn't want anyone in the station premises to hear her. "They pay really well and they have a lot of men that would spoil you. You should come some of these days" she winked.
"I have my man," I said rather possessively. Her brows raised in a question form.
"Bruce?" She asked. "You're talking about Bruce?" She frowned and I nodded. "Rosetta, the asshole was one of the reasons you're in here, and the first thing you do is think about him?"
"Well, you wouldn't tell me anything about him when you visit. I think it's time to say where Bruce is now."
"So you can’t go around looking for him?"
"I will," I asserted.
Jessie's frown remained on her face, as she turned to open the door to the back seat for me, urging me to go in. "Nice car," I said.
"I rented it" She rolled her eyes, turning to the other side to go sit down. "I rented the driver too, I'm not as rich as you think"
"Well, you said you have a nice job now."
"And the money is going into Dad and mum bills." After she had sat comfortably beside me in the back seat. She tapped the driver. "Please move and let's get my best friend out of this fucking tunnel!"
"Go straight to the point Jesse, what is wrong?" I asked, sounding impatient now as she would not speak about Bruce.
"Well, Bruce. The one you put in high regard so much is getting…Ah, how don't say this" she sighed, turning her head to my direction, staring right into my eyes. I had a stone glare, it was my resting face. She wasn't able to read my expression.
But I was panicking inside, afraid of what she was going to say about him.
"Bruce is getting married." She dropped the bomb.
"To who?" I asked, without expressing any emotion. My eyes fixed on the road as the driver sped off.
"Oh, you don't want to know."
"Trust me, I wanna know the fucking butch Bruce is getting married to." I was calm, outwardly. Inwardly, No. Nothing was calming about my boyfriend getting married after I spent two years in jail without him coming to visit.
"Nora" Jessie.
"The stupid tiny bitch!" I hit the glass of the window beside me, causing it to crack.
"Rosetta, I rented this!" Jessie screamed at my reaction. She was more bothered about paging for the damages, but it was boiling hit in my mind.
The same bitch! That night. It was Nora I had caught Bruce in a hotel, stark naked. Bruce had told me she had been forcing herself on him. I didn't believe that but I wanted her out of my man's life.
I had beaten her to a pulp that night. I saw them at the hotel and it was the reason for my jail terms. Her father, best friend to Zayn Cutolo, the Mafia monster I lived with, had ensured I paid for beating up his daughter.
With his influence, he had put me in jail.
"Someone is about to regret their decision" I muttered.
"Don't you dare do anything that would put you in jail again?" Jessie warned. "This is out of your control. If Bruce wanted you, he would have done better."
"Nothing is out of my control, Jessie" I glared at her. "I am Rosetta Gotti, daughter of great Mike Gotti, Boss of the Syndicate Mafia group"
"Keep the flatter. None of that exists anymore, Rosetta. Do you need a reminder that your father, Mike Gotti is dead and you do not have any influence as a mafia because everything has been taken away from you? You are a slave under Zayn! There is nothing in your control. And the fuck, what will you do when their wedding is already taking place today!"
I froze. "Today?"
"Yeah, Bruce and Nora are probably walking down the aisle already."
"Take me to the fucking venue!"

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**

I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
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
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
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.
——————————————————
When eigteen-year-old Aurora Wells moves to a sleepy town with her parents, the last thing she expects is to be enrolled in a secret academy for werewolves.
Moonbound Academy is no ordinary school. It's here young Lycans, Betas and Alphas train in shifting, elemental magic, and ancient pack laws. But Aurora? She's just...human. a mistake. The new receptionist forgot to check her species - and now she's surrounded by predators who sense she doesn't belong.
Determined to stay under the radar, Aurora plans to survive the year unnoticed. But when she catches the attention of Zayn, a brooding and infuriatingly powerful Lycan prince, her life gets a lot more complicated. Zayn already has a mate. He already has enemies.

Enemies will rise. Loyalties will shift. And the girl with no place in their world...might be the key to saving it.
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?
