Introduction
In the previous life, she disliked him and avoided him. This time around, Adelaide wants to kiss, cuddle, and hug Sebastian every day.
"Bullying my husband? I'll poke your eyes out."
"My husband isn't handsome?"
Believe it or not, I'll blind you. Save you from having a pair of useless eyes.
Rumors have it that Sebastian, the heir of the Manners family, is physically and mentally weak, with his life hanging by a thread.
Adelaide, the sixth wife to marry into the family, is a fool?
No, who started this rumor? Isn't this rumor too exaggerated?
Is Adelaide a top doctor or a national goddess? Who knows?
Those strikingly handsome long legs belong to Sebastian?
Alright!
It's one thing for Sebastian to be wealthy, but to be both wealthy and handsome, that's just too much!
Adelaide being pretty is one thing, but being pretty with a sparkling and intelligent brain is just excessive."
Chapter 1
Adelaide Montagu was killed by her most trusted friend, Saskia Davis, and a man.
The two strangled her with a rope and hung her from a tall tree deep in the forest, leaving her to be devoured by insects and ants.
A week later, Adelaide's nominal husband, Sebastian Manners, found her disfigured body while leaning on a cane and cried out in despair as he held her corpse.
Adelaide realized that the person who loved her the most was Sebastian.
Her soul followed Sebastian, to witness he took revenge on the murderer.
Afterward, Sebastian changed into clean clothes and went to the ice room where Adelaide's body was kept.
Lying down beside Adelaide, Sebastian looked at her affectionately and said, "Adelaide, I have avenged you. Wait for me, I'll be with you soon."
With those words, a relieved smile appeared on Sebastian's face.
It was only then that Adelaide noticed Sebastian had slit his wrist, and blood quickly stained the sheets red.
She never expected Sebastian to die for her.
Adelaide was shaken to her core.
She wanted to cry, but ghosts have no tears.
Adelaide tried to grasp his wrist to stop the bleeding, but she couldn't do anything and could only shout helplessly, "Sebastian, no! Go to find a doctor!"
In his daze, Sebastian seemed to see Adelaide.
The curve of his lips widened, "Adelaide, I'm here to be with you."
"Sebastian!"
With Adelaide's heart-wrenching scream, she felt a strong force pulling her soul.
A wave of dizziness hit her, and Adelaide lost consciousness.
"No." Adelaide suddenly woke up.
Sweat covered her forehead, her body was cold, and she opened her eyes to see a familiar yet strange environment.
Wasn't she dead? Where was this?
The surrounding voices quickly brought Adelaide back to her senses.
"Finally awake, otherwise we wouldn't know how to explain to Mr. Manners."
"Ms. Montagu, since you're awake, get up quickly. Mr. Manners will be here soon. Be careful when serving Mr. Manners, he has a bad temper and doesn't like being touched casually."
"And also..."
Hearing the servants' instructions, Adelaide finally realized.
She had been reborn.
Reborn to the day she married Sebastian.
In her previous life, Adelaide had been drugged and knocked out by her malicious stepmother and sent to the Manners Villa.
Sebastian had been in a car accident three years ago, leaving his legs paralyzed and his health deteriorating day by day, not knowing when he might die.
Marcus Manners, believing a fortune teller's words, had arranged for Sebastian to marry to bring good luck.
But the previous five brides had all been scared away by Sebastian's cruelty.
Adelaide was the sixth bride chosen.
"Where's Sebastian? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Adelaide impatiently interrupted the servants.
She was still wearing a cheap dress and jumped off the bed, looking around.
When Sebastian appeared, the servants looked at her with disdain and were about to say something.
Adelaide immediately saw the cold man in the wheelchair.
Seeing Sebastian's handsome face again, Adelaide's pupils trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She excitedly walked up to Sebastian, "Sebastian."
Before Adelaide could get closer, Sebastian's cold gaze stopped her in her tracks.
Sebastian's voice was icy, "You can leave now."
"I'm not leaving." Adelaide anxiously tried to get closer to Sebastian, "Sebastian, I'm not leaving."
In her previous life, she had hated Sebastian for trapping her, so she had helped Gavin Manners, the illegitimate son, to fight against Sebastian for the Manners family inheritance.
In the end, Adelaide realized she was just a pawn and met a tragedy in the end.
In this new life, Adelaide swore to make Gavin and Saskia pay and protect Sebastian.
Even if it was dangerous, she would not let Gavin's schemes succeed.
Sebastian glanced coldly at Adelaide, "The money given to the Montagu family from the Manners family will not be taken back."
No one would willingly marry a dying man.
Marcus always bought brides with money, and the Montagu family was no exception.
But the money was never given to Adelaide; it was taken by her unscrupulous stepmother.
Adelaide made up her mind and sat on the edge of the bed, "I'm not leaving. If you have the guts, have someone carry me out. I took Marcus's money, so I have to keep my promise to take care of you."
As if thinking of something, Adelaide continued, "Our marriage registration is already done, and the marriage certificate is on its way. If you kick me out, you're a scumbag, abandoning your wife."
"I'll report you for abandoning me on our wedding day. The Manners family has a big reputation to uphold; they can't afford this scandal."
Adelaide glared fiercely at Sebastian, "No matter what, I'm not leaving. From now on, you're my husband, and we're a couple. I'm staying to take care of you."
Everyone around was stunned by Adelaide's shameless words.
Only Sebastian coldly scrutinized her.
The previous five women had either cried about their misfortune or refused to stay after seeing him.
This woman was the first to openly acknowledge their marriage and insist on staying.
Sebastian's deep eyes darkened.
"Give me a reason," Sebastian asked coldly.
Without thinking, Adelaide replied, "I love you. You're so handsome; I fell in love at first sight. I was attracted to your looks and fell in love with you."
"Having a handsome and wealthy husband is a great deal for me. I'm not leaving."
Adelaide's words drew disdainful looks.
But Adelaide didn't care, she smiled at Sebastian.
Sebastian frowned slightly, "Love? Do you think I'll believe that? Even if it's true, I don't love you."
"It doesn't matter. I love you." Adelaide assured, "I believe that one day you'll love me too."
With that, Adelaide got up and approached Sebastian.
She knelt down to look him in the eye, "Sebastian, from now on, I'll take care of you. Give me a chance, and I'll show you my sincerity."
"Since the money has been taken, I have an obligation to stay and take care of you. I'm not leaving," Adelaide said firmly.
She continued, "Please let me stay. If I leave the Manners Villa, I have nowhere to go. If my stepmother finds out I've been sent back, she won't be happy."
"Sebastian, I'm easy to take care of. Just give me a meal, and I'll be fine. I want to stay and take care of you." As she spoke, Adelaide's eyes reddened.
She pinched her thigh, her eyes welling up with tears.
Sebastian frowned at her, noticing her subtle actions.
After a long while, Sebastian slowly looked away.

Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.

Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of an orphan pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to be better.

A pack of their own
The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates

But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

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.
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.
Invisible To Her Bully
Falling For The Biker: The Vice President's Girl
His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth.
"It's wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for just standing this close. But tell me, little bird" his breath ghosts my skin, "are you trembling because you hate me… or because you've wanted this just as much as I have?"
Wren thought she'd buried the chaos of New Orleans for good—the clubs, the blood-soaked loyalties, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she ever wanted: freedom, love, a future.
But one betrayal shatters it all.
Dragged home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax—the Raven Reapers MC's vice president and her brother's best friend. He's infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting for a man she should never touch.
And the deeper Wren is pulled back into his world, the more she realizes nothing about her past—or about Ezra—is what she believed.
In the chaos of gang wars, mounting debts, and old betrayals, he becomes the one constant. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more lethal his pull becomes.
Because in this world, love isn't sweet.
It's brutal. Bloody.
And it's bound to break them both.
When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?
