Chapter 1
CJ
Is the week of my 18th birthday. I am super excited, due to my spirit animal awakes from his slumber. Is the start of my manhood. Also, the huge party my parents are throwing for me. We are not rich but my father, BETA Angel Skylar, BETA to the Alpha, comes with some perks here in Stone Valley Pack in Florida. Yes, we are wolves.
Today is 3 days before my birthday on Saturday. I had just been woken up by my older brother Alex who jumps on me as he says “Yo, bro let’s go.” I grunt and jump up. “Why must you do that!” “Because is fun and you’re late getting up.” He laughs as he walks out of my room. He is 20 years old. He trains the advance warriors. He is impressive but annoying.
I get up and get ready for school. I put on my jeans with a tank top and my football jersey over it. I chose not to brush my curly hair and put on my favorite green hat, along with my green sneakers. I grabbed my duffle bag and headed to the kitchen where my whole family was already.
Walking in the kitchen is the best smell ever. My mom, BETA Sheera Skylar, BETA to the Luna, is the best cook. There is no one that has tried her cooking that has not fallen in love with it. This morning she made French toast, bacon, and scramble eggs. I served myself a plate and went in on my plate. “Slow down mijo. Is not going to disappear” my mom tells me. Yes, I’m Hispanic on my mom side. She came from a pack called Bora Red Pack in Puerto Rico.
After I finished breakfast, I grabbed my stuff and took off with Alex to school. He gives me rides since the training grounds are 2 minutes from the school. I arrived and head straight to my locker where my friends, Jace, AJ, and Mike are at. We’ve all been best friends since birth. All our families work in the Pack House. Jace is the son of Gamma Rick Pawster, AJ is the son of Yazmin Longsteed, Maiden to the Luna, and Mike is son of Turner and Mila Rockstead, Captain Warriors.
“What up, bro?” AJ greets me. “Sup guys? Are you guys ready for Saturday? Because I can’t wait.” I say enthusiastic. They all respond at once “You know it!!” We all headed to class after a bit of chatting. Lunch time comes around and I meet the guys at our usual table. I got there first and settled myself. I looked to the side to see if the guys were coming, when I spot this beautiful ginger head. Her hair was so orange. Almost like fire and she had a set of green eyes. As I was admiring her the guys arrived at the table and snapped me out of my trance. When I looked back again, she was gone. I decided to just go with my day. After school we had practice. After practice we hopped in Jace’s truck and headed to the mall for some grub and to pick new outfits for the party. After we all finished, we headed to my house. Guys love coming over because of my mom’s cooking.
When we entered the house, my mom had already left the table ready for us to eat. It became a routine of ours after practice. Tonight’s dinner is rice, beans, and Pernil. My mom always cooks our favorite foods during the week of our birthdays. We dug in until we couldn’t eat any more. After we finished the guys headed home and I went to take a shower.
Once I was alone in my room, I started thinking about the ginger girl. I don’t know why I started thinking about her. I put a movie on and went to sleep. The next day I got up on time and chose to brush my hair and let my curls hang. I decided to wear black jeans, a green graphic t-shirt, and my timberlands. Jace picked me up today with the guys and we headed to school.
I noticed while walking around that I was looking for her. I don’t understand why I am feeling this way. I shake my head and continue to talk with the guys. When lunch came around, I hoped to see her again. When I arrive at the table, Stacy is sitting there. Stacy is a petit blonde girl that has been trying to get with one of us but has failed miserably. I rolled my eyes when she said “Hi CJ” while waving her fingers.
I waved and sat opposite Stacy. She batts her eyelashes at me, while trying to act cute. I just eat my food and ignore her. I went to take another bite of my pizza when I spotted her again. Ginger girl. I keep calling her ginger girl, but I have no idea who she is. I’ve never seen her before. At that moment, the guys arrive and break me out of my thoughts.
Again, when I look back, she is gone. I never get a full look at her or her face. All I know is her eyes and her hair. When I get back to what’s happening in front of me, Stacy is still there trying to get attention. I decided to finish my food and go for a walk. I decided to walk towards the football field when I spotted her lying in the middle of the field. I approached her slowly trying to think of what to say to her.
As I approached, she sat up and looked my way. I stopped and slightly waved at her. She lifted an eyebrow as she locked her eyes with mine.

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.
Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface. When Dante is poisoned by a rival syndicate with a deadly toxin no doctor can cure, he offers a fortune for anyone who can save him.
Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.

He blocked her in the dressing room, knelt before her, and even accepted the possibility that another man had taken his place.
Because losing his pride was nothing.
Losing Vivian had nearly killed him.
But after everything he had done…
Could she ever forgive the man who chose another woman over his own wife?
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

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.
