Introduction
"Rule number one, no screaming. No matter what I do to you, I must not hear a single noise. If I do, it would most definitely get worse" he said and my heart hammered in my chest.
"Rule number two, when I tell you to do something, you do it, or else, I will whip you repeatedly and make sure you're on the brink of death but just enough to keep you alive." He said with a wicked grin on his face.
"Rule number three, follow those two rules" he said and got up.
Out of the blue, he whipped me again and I screamed. I had never felt that much pain in my entire life.
"Tsk tsk, you're a slow one" he said and I held my breath as I awaited the next whip.
He whipped me again and I managed to stifle a scream.
"Good girl" he said and went back to sit on his bed.
"Now, strip." He ordered and I shakily got up and began to pull my clothes off my body.

Chapter 1
My heart pounded in my chest as I sprinted through the chaotic village. Smoke filled the air, and the sounds of destruction echoed all around me. The screams of my fellow villagers pierced through the night, their cries for help haunting my every step. Fear gripped me, threatening to consume me whole. I could not believe it. My parents were dead. I had barely had time to process it.
I ran with all my might, desperate to escape this nightmare. But just as hope began to flicker in my heart, a strong grip closed around my arm. I turned to face the menacing faces of Lucas' men, their eyes filled with a twisted sense of power.
"Gotcha," one of them sneered, tightening his hold on my arm. I struggled, but their grip was unyielding. They dragged me through the wreckage, towards the heart of darkness itself, Alpha Lucas.
As we approached Lucas, his piercing gaze met mine. The Alpha exuded an aura of dominance, his presence commanding and intimidating. I could see the bloodlust in his eyes, the hunger for power that had driven him to destroy my village.
"Welcome, little lamb," Lucas growled, his voice sending shivers down my spine.
"You're mine now." He said as his men forced me to my knees.
"Please, don't kill me" I begged. Like a fucking coward but I really did not want to die. The thought frightened me.
His cruel laugh filled the air and I sucked in a breath as he reached out for me.
He grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled me up to my feet with it and I shrieked in pain.
"You don't have to beg me. I intend to keep you alive but mark my words, by the time I'm done with you, you would regret the day you begged for your life." He said, with an evil intent lurking behind his eyes.
I swallowed in fear as his men tied me to the saddle of a horse and they all settled on their individual horses.
My panic rose and my heart shattered as I took one last look at my village, my home, where I grew up and I realized this might be the last time I'll ever see it.
My heart sank as the weight of my predicament settled upon me.
The ride to the city of Albertos was bumpy and rough. I was hanging with my head upside down and by the time we got there, my face was red and I was struggling to breathe.
I was shocked when I felt a hand slap my ass hard. Tears began welling up in my eyes as I prayed it was a mistake.
"Take her to my room" I heard Lucas' order someone.
I immediately felt the knots loosen around my feet and hands and I sighed in relief as someone pulled me off forcefully.
I took a satisfying whiff of breath as I took in my surroundings.
We were at the grand palace of Albertos.
Up until then, I had never seen it in person but only heard stories about it from my father.
My heart ached at the thought of him.
"Get up" One of the men ordered and I struggled to scramble to my feet, so he yanked me up by my cloth and I groaned.
"Follow me" he further said and I hurriedly followed him.
I could barely take in the interior of the palace because I was too focused on what was going to happen to me.
We finally got to Lucas' room and the man that led me there pushed me inside, making me fall to the ground.
He glared at me in disgust.
"Touch one thing and you're dead" he simply said before slamming the door closed.
I jumped out of shock before I sighed and looked down at my fingers as I picked at my nails nervously.
I could not believe my parents were dead. Reality hit me as I knelt in the middle of the room of the person who ordered their deaths.
I could not stop the tears that streamed down my cheeks and sobs racked my body.
I had lost my mother when I was little before my father fell in love again and married someone else and she was so nice to me.
I had been so lucky to have the best parents and Alpha Lucas just took that from me like it didn't matter. I cried for my parents, friends and all other villagers.
Anger bubbled beneath my skin as hot tears streamed in waves down my cheeks. An eye for and eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.
I mentally repeated the chant just as my father had taught me.
My sobs caught in my throat when the door suddenly opened.
He towered over my small frame on the ground and closed the door and I shivered in fear.
His eyes, his build, every single thing about him was frightful.
He walked past me, eyeing me with a look I couldn't quite decipher.
He sat on his bed and looked straight at me. I didn't dare look at him.
"How old are you?" He asked and I gulped.
"Sixteen" I replied softly.
A small smirk made its way to his mouth and I shivered with fear.
"Strip" he ordered and I froze.
I must have heard wrong.
I looked up at him in shock and he repeated himself.
"Strip" he said again and I slowly started to shake my head.
I was only sixteen. What kind of monster was he?
"Do not make me repeat myself" he said and I began to beg him.
"No, please no." I begged as I sobbed.
He rolled his eyes and got off his bed.
He searched through a table and faced me again.
He was holding a whip!
I gasped in fear as he neared me and without warning, whipped me once on my back.
I shrieked in pain as I tried to touch the area but my hands couldn't reach it.
It hurt a lot and I could not stop crying.
He stooped to my level.
"Now, listen to me" he commanded and I instantly looked up at him.
"Rule number one, no screaming. No matter what I do to you, I must not hear a single noise. If I do, it would most definitely get worse" he said and my heart hammered in my chest.
"Rule number two, when I tell you to do something, you do it, or else, I will whip you repeatedly and make sure you're on the brink of death but just enough to keep you alive." He said with a wicked grin on his face.
"Rule number three, follow those two rules" he said and got up.
Out of the blue, he whipped me again and I screamed. I had never felt that much pain in my entire life.
"Tsk tsk, you're a slow one" he said and I held my breath as I awaited the next whip.
He whipped me again and I managed to stifle a scream.
"Good girl" he said and went back to sit
on his bed.
"Now, strip." He ordered and I shakily got up and began to pull my clothes off my body.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
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.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."
My Perverse: You're mine, you son of a bitch
Vincenzo Valentini is a man who sees the world as a business counter and human beings as merchandise.
The owner of an empire built upon corpses and submission, he is the reflection of pure perversity.
When fate places Andrew Thompson, the son of his greatest rival, into his hands, the plan was simple: use him, break him, and discard him like a toy that has lost its appeal.
What Vincenzo did not expect was that, beneath the youthful skin and the appearance of innocence, Andrew hid the same abyss as he did.
Vincenzo never wanted redemption. He never wanted someone to save him from his own darkness. He was seeking a mirror. And in Andrew, he found the partner who, upon seeing his blood-stained hands, does not recoil in terror, but trembles with desire.
In this perverse game, the "little toy" proves to be the perfect executioner. The mafia leader found someone who not only accepts his cruel side but cultivates it, feeding the monster Vincenzo has always been.
Where there should have been fear, lust emerged. Where there should have been hatred, a perverse loyalty was born. Andrew Thompson is the dark reflection of Vincenzo, the soldier the underworld did not see coming, and the man who proved that, for some, paradise only makes sense if it is in the middle of chaos.
Vincenzo opened the doors to his empire, but Andrew was the only one capable of invading his heart.
They are not heroes. They are hell on earth.

Let Them Kneel

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.

For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—

Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—

But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.

He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.

I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there.
