Introduction
During a combat class, Selene is seized by a waking vision from Astrid—the ancient wolf goddess—and collapses in front of her classmates. When Elias, the intuitive and charming council member, helps her up, their touch releases a surge of magic that stuns everyone. Suddenly, the academy is buzzing with rumors, and Selene is no longer invisible—especially not to Elias or Soren, the cold, brooding Lycan heir whose wolf refuses to ignore her.
Chapter 1
CHAPTER 001
SELENE'S POINT OF VIEW
My heart was doing backflips as I crossed the busy courtyard of Silverpine Academy, hauling two suitcases behind me.
I had dreamed about this place for years.
Now, I was really here.
Everything I’d worked for, all the hours I spent preparing, had finally led me to this moment. I was ready to become one of the best shifters out there. Nothing could mess this up for me.
"Watch it, three eyes!"
Something slammed into me out of nowhere.
I hit the pavement hard, both suitcases crashing beside me.
My glasses flew off my face.
Panic hit fast.
No, no, no.
I dropped to my knees and started searching the ground with my hands, eyes squinting through the blur.
They had to be close. They had to be.
Those glasses were everything. I’d worn them since I was a kid. They weren’t just lenses. They kept the dark stuff out—visions, nightmares… all the weird things that haunted me when they weren’t on.
My fingers brushed the cold metal frame.
Yes!
I shoved them back on, my breath shaking.
Through the clearing blur, I caught the back of a guy walking away. He was laughing with his group.
Jerk.
“A total jerk,” I muttered, and I wasn’t alone. My wolf, Astrid, echoed it inside me.
One guy in a blue hoodie slowed down. His head turned toward me.
His eyes met mine.
Then, just like that, he turned around and jogged back.
I froze as he stopped in front of me.
“You good?”
I nodded, still on the ground.
“Yeah… thanks.”
He bent down, grabbed both my bags, and stood up straight again, holding one out for me.
I took his hand and pulled myself up.
Wow.
His eyes were this warm honey brown, and his blond hair had this soft golden glow in the light.
“Sorry about him,” he said. “The Crown Heir’s having a mood. Happens more than you'd think.”
My brows pulled together.
“The Crown Heir?”
He paused like he wasn’t sure he should explain.
“The Ly—eh, never mind,” he said quickly. “First day?”
“Yeah.”
He smirked.
“You only say yes?”
“Ye—I mean, no!”
He laughed, and I felt my cheeks heat up.
“I’m Elias. Student council.”
“Selene.”
He glanced sideways at me, then gave me a look that lasted a bit too long. Like he was studying me.
“Let me guess,” he said, “eighteen, came from a tiny pack, maybe an Alpha’s niece or something, healer program?”
My jaw dropped.
“How—how did you—”
“You’ve got the vibe.”
He didn’t know how close he’d hit.
I was from the Edelweiss Pack, barely known outside our region. My uncle, Alpha Roland, had raised me after my parents were killed in a rogue attack when I was eight.
He tried, I guess. But being raised by a man who didn’t know what to do with a little girl? Not exactly the warmest childhood.
His Luna, Greta, meant well, but we never clicked. And don’t even get me started on Marcel.
He was my cousin. My so-called “brother.”
We grew up together, but he couldn’t stand me. Still couldn’t.
He was a sophomore here. When he found out I was coming to Silverpine Academy, his only words were—
“Don’t embarrass me, freak.”
Yeah. Family.
“They’d be proud of you,” Elias said out of nowhere.
My throat felt tight.
“They are,” I replied, voice low.
He started walking, still carrying my bags. I hurried to catch up, my legs way shorter than his.
“You heading to grab your keys?”
“Yeah.”
“Still stuck on one-word answers, huh?”
I gave a small laugh.
He grinned and slowed down a little so I could keep pace.
We passed a group of girls near one of the trees.
The moment they saw Elias, it was chaos.
They lit up, whispering, waving, even one blowing a kiss.
He nodded at a few of them casually.
“I’m guessing you’re pretty popular?”
“Eh,” he shrugged. “Comes with the job.”
And the face.
We made it to the main hall.
The inside was stunning—tall glass windows, a grand chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and floors so shiny I could see my reflection.
I stopped walking and just took it in.
“Wow.”
Elias smiled.
“There’s the desk. You’ll get your keys there.”
He set my bags down and held out his hand again.
“Nice meeting you, Selene. Hope you enjoy your first year.”
I took his hand, feeling the warmth in his touch.
“Thanks.”
His eyes flicked down to our hands, still holding. I quickly pulled away, clearing my throat.
“Thank you… for helping.”
“Just doing my job.”
A loud voice rang out.
“Elias! Let’s go!”
I looked past him.
A guy leaned against a pillar, back turned.
I recognized the voice.
The same one who’d shoved me.
The one who called me three eyes.
Elias didn’t even hesitate. He gave me a small nod and jogged over to join the group.
I took a deep breath and stepped up to the desk.
The woman behind it looked bored out of her mind.
“Next!”
“Oh—me!” I said quickly, dragging my suitcases forward.
“Name, class, and major,” she barked.
“Selene Hastings, freshman… healer program?”
She hummed and rifled through a stack of keys.
I tried to fill the silence.
“I’m really honored to be part of the two hundred students this year. My mom actually went here and I’ve wanted to—”
The woman didn’t let me finish.
She tossed a keyring toward me.
“Lunar Hall. Second building, second floor, room one zero two. Next!”
I barely caught the keys.
Rude much?
Someone shoved past me, and I stumbled again but managed not to fall this time.
I pushed my bags out of the hall and followed the directions.
The second floor was packed with noise.
Students moving in. Laughter. Talking. Doors slamming open and shut.
I tried not to get overwhelmed, but my head was spinning.
Where was room one zero two?
“Hey! What room?”
I turned.
A woman stood behind me, squinting at my face.
Then her eyes went wide.
Liliane?”
I blinked.
“Who?”
She stepped back, shaking her head.
“Sorry! You just look like someone I used to know.”
“It’s okay.”
“I’m Esther, the Resident Director for this dorm.” She peeked at my key tag. “Ah, room one zero two. You’re just down the hall.”
“Thanks,” I said with a relieved smile.
Dragging my bags again, I walked slowly down the hall.
My stomach was all twisted up.
Roommates.
Were they nice?
Would they like me?
Would I like them?
Back home, I never really had close friends. Not real ones. People just… tolerated me.
I found the door.
Room one zero two.
Here goes nothing.
I turned the key and pushed the door open.
Two girls looked up right away.
They stopped talking the second they saw me.
One had bubblegum-pink hair, and the other had long dark curls.
Their outfits screamed expensive. Like, fancy-pack rich.
“Am I interrupting?”
The pink-haired girl rushed over.
“Nope! I’m Livia, and that’s Noelle. Wait—are you her?”
I blinked.
“Her?”
“Our fourth roommate! Are you… Elira? The Lycan Heir’s ex?”
“Who?”
“Soren’s ex! I heard she flunked and had to retake freshman year. You’re her, right?”
I stared.
My mouth opened.
Then closed.
What?
Who in the world was Soren?
And why did they think I was his ex?
Was someone about to walk through this door who actually was?
Or was something else going on here entirely?
And if I wasn’t Elira…
Then who was supposed to be?
Why did I look like her?

CHASING GHOSTS
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps.

The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.

Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?

Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...

What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
My Alpha's Fake Luna
Those were the last words my Alpha whispered before he severed our bond.
I believed our marriage was over.
I was wrong.
For two years, I thought Alpha Michael never loved me.
Every misunderstanding pushed us farther apart.
Every silence broke another piece of my heart.
While another woman slowly took my place.
But everything changed after the death of the Grand Alpha.
My mate began watching me.
Protecting me.
Holding me whenever I fell.
Looking at me like he was terrified of losing me.
If he hated me...
Why did he keep risking everything for me?
And why did everyone panic the moment I finally chose another future?
