Introduction
Only it was not her stepsister’s wedding at all. It was hers. Her stepmother had arranged everything, and if Eli refused to marry the powerful stranger waiting for her at the altar, her father’s medical treatment would be cut off. With no choice left, Eli agreed.
She thought marrying a man she did not know was the worst thing that could happen. Then she saw Steven standing in the crowd. He was not just a guest. He worked for her new husband.
Now Eli is trapped in a marriage she never wanted, living in a house with the man who broke her heart, the husband who now owns it and now his twin brother who wants her.
Whose going to win Eli’s heart eventually?
Chapter 1
“I reject you, Eli Catherine Fisher!”
And just like that, the little part of my world that I thought was perfect collapsed.
My heart sank. I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t move. The suitcase slipped from my hand as I stared at him, stunned.
Steven. My Steven. My boyfriend of five years. The man who was supposed to be my mate just rejected me. We were supposed to leave town tonight, run away, and finally live free from my stepmother’s cruelty. But instead… this.
"No." I said; my voice barely above a whisper "You can’t do this to me, Steven. We already planned everything. We are mates, we’re supposed to leave this town and start a life together. We…" my voice cracked as a tear slid down my cheek.
He didn’t respond. He just looked at me and for the first time, there was nothing in his eyes. No love. No warmth. Just emptiness.
"Why?" I whispered, desperate. "Is it Sarah? Did she do anything?"
My stepmother Sarah has tried to take Steven out of my life many times so I won’t be surprised if she has something to do with this.
Steven sighed, his voice low. "Eli… I got a real job now and I can’t afford to be held back by you anymore."
My chest tightened. "Held back?" I questioned in disbelief "I’ve never held you back. I’ve always supported you."
"Well, this is different. I don’t need your support." He said sternly as he turned to leave but I quickly grabbed his hand.
"No! You can’t leave. I gave you five years. I waited for this night. I prayed for us to be mates and now we are finally together, you can’t do this."
He pulled his hand from mine, his face hardening.
And then he said it. The words that killed whatever was left of me. "Let go of the past Eli. I don’t love you anymore, after all you’re just an Omega."
I froze. My tears burned, spilling down my cheeks, but I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe.
I watched him turn and walk away without looking back. A part of me wanted to run after him. To scream. To beg. But deep down, I knew.
Steven was gone. I lost my mate.
I don’t know how long I stood there or even when the rain began. All I know is it started slowly, then poured until I was drenched, but I didn’t move. My suitcase lay at my feet as if abandoned. My heart felt numb, my mind replaying the same words over and over.
I don’t love you anymore.
How could he just say that to me? I was there for him when he was homeless, when he hadn’t even found his wolf and now he doesn’t love me anymore?
Tears streamed down my face. I felt like a loser- empty inside and betrayed. I guess Sarah was right all this time because he did what she said he would… he betrayed me.
Then, through the storm and my spiraling thoughts, my phone rang. I almost didn’t answer, but when I saw the name, Dr. Mary, my chest tightened. With trembling fingers, I picked up.
"Hello." My voice, barely above a whisper.
"Hello Eli, how are you doing?" She replied, her tone warm but distant.
"I’m okay. Is Dad okay? Is he fine?" I asked panicking. Anytime I get a call from her, my heart heavies.
"His condition is unchanged," She replied "But I didn’t call to say that, I called because of the surgery. Mr. Baldwin's surgery is still pending due to delayed payment. I’m afraid if it’s not paid soon, his condition could worsen."
"What?" I gasped. "How is it delayed when my stepmom paid for it yesterday?"
"Yeah, about that. She didn’t really make a payment. She came by, but made no transaction. I thought I should let you know.”
I felt the world spin around me. My head throbbed with disbelief and anger. "This can’t be happening. She told me she took care of it."
"She probably confused it with something else. But I’m certain she didn’t make the payment." Her voice softened a bit, but the urgency was still there "Mr Baldwin’s condition will only worsen if the payment is delayed. Make sure to make it before the end of today."
"Okay, I will.." My voice cracked as I hung up the phone.
For a moment, I just stared at the silent screen, rain soaking my hair as the weight of betrayal pressed harder than ever. Then I turned. I didn’t even think or scream or cry, I just walked further and my feet just moved, carrying me through the storm.
To my stepmother. To my step sister Hannah’s wedding hall. I thought I was going there to beg for help. But I had no idea I was walking straight into a trap.
Getting there, I scanned the wedding hall around me, desperately looking for Sarah. I can feel she’s up to something. There is nowhere she would forget something as important as paying for Dad's surgery.
Walking around the wedding hall, I noticed Sarah’s best friend, Emily. I rushed over to her, "Hey Emily. Do you have any idea where Sarah is?"
She glanced around the hall for a moment before she turned her attention to me. "No, I don’t. But anyways congratulations." She exclaimed, stepping closer to wrap her arms around me but stopped. Her eyes raked down my body "Why are you wet and not dressed?" She asked
"It’s a long story."
"Ohh okay, but the bride needs to be dressed. You walking around with wet cloths and hair makes you less of a bride."
"What are you saying? I’m not the bride, Hannah is." I replied
Emily can be many things, but I don’t think she would mix up such an important detail. This is not my wedding. It’s my stepsister, Hannah’s. Surely, she knew that.
For a moment, she looked confused and opened her mouth to speak but I cut her off not having enough time for chit chat "Excuse me, Emily. I’ll talk to you later. I really have to find Sarah now."
As I wandered through the venue desperate to find Sarah, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Guests kept approaching me, offering heartfelt congratulations as if I were the bride.
Hannah and I look nothing alike so why are they confusing me with her?
I finally spotted Jasmine, one of Hannah’s bridesmaids, and approached her. She greeted me with a bright smile, and I couldn’t help but ask, "Do you have any idea why everyone is congratulating me on this wedding?"
She scoffed with a chuckle, "Are you kidding me?"
"No, what’s going on?" I pressed, my heart racing.
"Wait, are you serious?" She replied, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"Yes, I am! Now tell me what’s going on."
"It’s your wedding, Eli,"
"What!" I gasped, my heart racing out of my chest.
Jasmine laughed, clearly caught up in the excitement. "Yes! Why are you acting so surprised?"
Before I could even breathe, a banner dropped on the stage, the words blazing in gold: “Eli & Malik… bound for eternity.”
No. No, no, no. This isn’t real. This can’t be happening.
I shook my head so hard it hurt. "I’m not getting married!" I snapped, my voice cracking. "Hannah is supposed to marry him, not me!"
Jasmine’s grin faltered, and she stepped back slightly. "Oh, Sarah didn’t tell you?"
My throat went dry. "Tell me what?"
"Hannah backed out, Eli. She didn’t want Alpha Malik so you’re getting married to him."
Her voice vibrates in my head. I couldn’t respond… I didn’t even know what to say. All I could do was stare at that banner, those words, my name… his name…
And then it hit me. This was real. My stepmother set me up with a man I know nothing about.

How did it come to this?
As the school year unfolds, cracks begin to show — in friendships, in family, and in Amelia’s own mind. The lines between loyalty and control blur. Between truth and perception. Between who she is… and who she thinks she needs to be.

They consume you.
And when the illusion shatters, there’s always something left behind.
Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."

He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
