And he never lost a single battle.
Chapter 1
Deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, tens of thousands of feet below the surface.
There was no sunlight here, no day or night.
Only endless darkness.
And a top-secret prison hidden by nations around the world—the Deep Sea Prison.
It had another name.
"The Cage at the End of the World."
They said everyone locked up here had enough dangerous power to shake the world order.
And right now.
In the deepest part of the prison, inside a special cell, the air still carried traces of heat and intimacy.
Ethan Sterling slowly opened his eyes.
His chest was covered in sweat.
Around him lay several women who could drive the entire world crazy.
One controlled Europe's oldest financial empire.
One used to command the Federation's million-strong special forces.
Another possessed a legendary dragon bloodline.
The blonde woman slowly leaned against Ethan's chest, "Ethan..."
She had strangely beautiful golden eyes and an almost impossibly sexy figure.
Dragon Holy Maiden—Arielle Hall.
She gently traced the faint golden mark on Ethan's chest, "Your bloodline is starting to awaken."
Ethan looked down at his chest.
There, a faint holy mark was slightly warm.
"Your bloodline is getting more unstable," Arielle said softly.
Ethan looked down at his chest, frowning slightly.
This holy mark had only appeared in the past year.
And with it, his body kept changing.
Strength, speed, awareness...
All far beyond that of normal people.
Sometimes, he could even hear strange whispers.
"Archangel bloodline?"
Ethan still felt like this was all a dream.
Seven years ago.
He was just an ordinary college student.
His girlfriend Chloe Senna and the heir to a wealthy family, Jack Thomson, had framed him together. They pinned hit-and-run and intentional murder charges on him.
He should have been sent to a state prison.
But somehow he had ended up in the world's most dangerous deep-sea prison.
To this day, Ethan still didn't know why.
Just then, the red-haired woman Lillian Lewis suddenly laughed softly, "Actually, you should have figured it out by now, right?"
Ethan frowned. "What?"
The Federation's special forces queen Evelyn Ramirez slowly lit a cigarette, "Based on your crimes, you had no right to be here at all."
The air suddenly went quiet.
Ethan looked up.
"We're the ones who brought you here," Arielle said softly.
Ethan's pupils shrank. "What do you mean?"
Lillian gently swirled her wine glass, "Normal people can't get in here. What's locked up here... is way more dangerous than criminals."
Ethan stayed silent.
The truth was, he'd realized something was off years ago.
A normal prison couldn't possibly hold these monster-like women.
Arielle suddenly sat up, her back to Ethan.
The next second.
On her smooth back, a dark and sinister mark appeared.
Like a demon's claw.
At the same time.
Similar dark marks faintly appeared on the other women's bodies.
The room temperature instantly dropped.
There were even faint whispers in the air.
Ethan's expression changed sharply. "What is this?"
Arielle spoke in a low voice, "Satan's curse. Many years ago, we touched something we shouldn't have. Since then, demonic power has been eating away at our souls. It makes us lose control, go crazy, and eventually fall completely."
Evelyn slowly exhaled smoke, "To suppress the curse, we could only hide here. Because the Deep Sea Prison was built on dragon-blessed land. This place can suppress the demonic power inside us. But suppression doesn't mean purification."
Arielle looked back at the holy mark on Ethan's chest, "Until we found you. The dragon bloodline's sensing told me—you carry archangel blood. And archangel bloodline is the only power that can purify Satan's curse."
Ethan finally understood everything.
He hadn't been wrongly imprisoned in this deep-sea prison.
He had been brought here because they chose him.
Arielle slowly took out a crystal bottle with pale golden liquid flowing inside, "This is dragon holy water. Only a few drops left in the entire world. It can awaken the power in your bloodline, and you've absorbed my dragon blood essence—don't forget to merge with it. It will make you stronger."
She placed the bottle in Ethan's hand, "It's time for you to leave. The outside world is waiting for you."
Lillian smiled softly. She pulled out a black card from behind her.
The card was cold and heavy, with a pale gold six-winged emblem carved on the edges.
The entire card had no bank logo.
Not even a number.
"Seraphim Black Card. Only twelve in the whole world," Lillian said.
"It doesn't belong to any national banking system. The wealth inside is enough to buy a small country."
On the other side, Evelyn leaned against the wall and slowly lit a cigarette, "You've learned all my combat skills. Remember, the outside world is more dangerous than here."
She looked up at Ethan, "Don't die out there."
Ethan was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up, "Arielle, Evelyn, Lillian. Wait for me to come back. I'll lift the curse from you."
One hour later.
At the entrance to the Deep Sea Prison, disguised as an oil platform.
A black helicopter slowly landed in the center of the platform.
Two black-suited bodyguards quickly approached.
"Mr. Sterling. We're here on Ms. Chloe Senna's orders to take you to the church," one of them said.
Ethan's gaze turned cold. "Church?"
"Today is your wedding," the bodyguard replied.
The air went quiet for a moment.
Ethan suddenly laughed.
But there was no warmth in his smile.
Seven years ago.
Chloe had personally sent him to prison.
Now.
He had just gotten out.
And that woman wanted to marry him?
"Interesting," Ethan murmured.
He stepped onto the helicopter.
He wanted to see what game Chloe was playing.
The helicopter cut through the night, finally landing at a luxurious estate.
Ida Manor.
The territory of California's top elite family—the Senna family.
In the center of the estate, a towering church was brightly lit.
Meanwhile, inside the church.
Chloe stood in front of a wheelchair, a vicious smile on her lips.
The girl in the wheelchair wore a pure white wedding dress, eyes closed, like a sleeping angel.
Chloe bent down, smiling at Aria Rockefeller, "My dear sister. Today is your wedding day. The groom is a criminal fresh out of prison. Are you happy?"
The nanny beside them had already cried her eyes red.
"Ms. Senna! Ms. Rockefeller is your sister! How can you make her marry a criminal!"
Chloe's face turned cold. "Shut up! She's just a vegetable. Does she even deserve to stay with the Senna family?"
Just then.
The church doors slowly opened.
Ethan walked in.
And when his eyes fell on the girl in the wheelchair—
He suddenly froze.
Ethan thought, 'It's her?'

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.
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
Avery and the Cursed Alpha
Then a mysterious billionaire offers her a deal that sounds too good to be true.
Alexander Ravenswood is powerful, wealthy, and feared throughout Tenebrous City. Behind his perfect public image lies a deadly secret. He is the Alpha of the Nocturne Pack, cursed by an ancient bloodline that is slowly driving him toward madness and death. His only hope lies in finding the legendary Aethon Orb—or the prophesied mate destined to save him.
When Alex discovers that Avery can draw symbols connected to the long-lost artifact, he offers her a contract she cannot refuse: become his fake fiancée for six months in exchange for enough money to erase her debts and save her home.
What begins as a business arrangement quickly becomes something far more dangerous.
As they search for the missing Orb, Avery is drawn into a hidden world of werewolves, ancient prophecies, and deadly pack rivalries. Powerful enemies want Alex's throne. A jealous Alpha heiress wants Avery gone. And a ruthless rival Alpha will stop at nothing to claim the Orb for himself.
But the greatest secret of all may be Avery herself.
Because the closer she gets to Alex, the more impossible truths begin to surface about her past, her strange abilities, and the destiny that has been waiting for her all along.
With a curse threatening Alex's life, enemies closing in from every side, and a forbidden bond growing stronger by the day, Avery must decide whether to walk away from the dangerous Alpha who needs her—or risk everything for a love written by fate itself.
In a city where secrets kill and destiny cannot be escaped, can a fake engagement become a love powerful enough to change the future?
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Bound by Fate, Freed by Choice

As a dangerous attraction simmers between Lyla and Rowan, they begin to unravel a dark web of secrets that implicates Kaiden and threatens both their worlds.
With her hidden power awakening, Lyla must navigate treacherous loyalties, face the alpha who shattered her, and decide: Will she follow the destiny fate forced upon her, or claim the love and strength she has chosen for herself?
Mates: Regrets and Redemption
With my heart in pieces, I sought solace in the last place I expected—my Alpha's arms. One night turned into a dangerous entanglement, and now my Alpha refuses to let me go. As the Alpha’s obsession grows, I'm caught in a web of desire and fear.
Curtis, the boy I once loved, still holds a promise I made, but the Alpha’s powerful presence pulls me deeper into his world. Should I forgive Curtis and keep my word, or should I risk everything for a chance at something wild and unpredictable with the Alpha who won’t take no for an answer?
“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.
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.
Mated to Her Alpha Instructor
Weeks later, our new Alpha combat instructor walks in. Regis. The guy from the woods. His eyes lock on mine, and I know he recognizes me. Then the secret I've been hiding hits me like a punch: I'm pregnant.
He has an offer that binds us tighter than ever. Protection… or a cage? Whispers turn ugly, darkness closes in. Why am I the one without a wolf? Is he my salvation… or will he drag me to ruin?
They'll Regret This
My fiancé didn't just dump me—he proposed to her that same night. My so-called family handed me bus fare and a one-way ticket to the countryside.
Perfect. Let them think they won.
They don't know who I really am. The anonymous genius surgeon who saves lives when elite hospitals give up. The legendary artist whose paintings sell for millions at auction. The undefeated shadow queen of the underground fighting circuit. And the true heiress to a fortune that makes theirs look like pocket change.
Now my ex-fiancé begs on his knees. My fake sister's jealousy is eating her alive. And that cold, arrogant CEO who once threw our engagement contract in my face? He's hunting me down like a man possessed, desperate for one more chance.
They threw me away like trash to upgrade their lives.
Joke's on them.
I was always the upgrade.
