Introduction
A thousand years ago, my siblings and I had a happy life, one that was very short lived compared to the endless agony that came after.
Our father was a pirate and our mother was a witch, both had an insatiable greed for power and in their quest to command more authority, they got the very Hammington name Cursed
My siblings and I were condemned to an eternity of misery, struggling with powers neither of us understood
We roamed the earth for centuries and we became savageries giving in to the very cursed beast within us
We are the monsters children were taught to dread
We are the evil lurking in the shadows
We are broken, bloodthirsty, savage and wild beasts
We are The Hammingtons
In the course of our immortal life, we wandered round the world in search of the one thing that continuously evaded our grasp, happiness
Will we ever find what we seek? Or will we continue being victims to our own monstrosity........
Chapter 1
Dianna's POV
......"A life! One filled with eternal misery! That is what shall befall your children! They will wander round the world till the end of time transforming into the very beast you wanted, oh yes they will be powerful, but they will become slaves to their own powers, your family's name shall be feared just like you wanted but that fear shall grow so deep your children will roam the world alone damned to a life of solitude! They will wish for death but they shall not be granted such mercy, I curse the very Hammington name!!"......
I stood by the window watching the people of Arcane County go about their business like it's just any normal day in a normal city, but this is all a facade, a city filled with humans and witches can only be anything but normal
Few days ago, I was following the trail of a witch, one that led me back to this damned city, I caught my prey yes, but my prey led me to something much bigger, something my siblings and I have all being searching for
We were turned to monsters in this city, condemned to an immortal life of solitude and wild powers, we have become the very beasts we were cursed to be. We are damaged, some will say broken beyond repair but I've always believed their will be a salvation for us at the end and my prey led me right to the pathway of our salvation
A loud brawl resonated from downstairs, announcing the arrival of my fellow Hammingtons
"Dear siblings, already at each other's throats the moment we meet" I smiled as I walked downstairs
"Why is he here?!" Gia yelled as the victim of her anger stood still, frozen
"Come on sister, unfreeze Eric" I said
"You didn't tell me he'll be here!" Gia said and I nodded
"Cause I knew you wouldn't come if I had told you so unfreeze your twin brother now before he burns himself out of your freezing spell and aim for your throat!" I said and Ivan chuckled
"Nice to see you too brother, is something funny?" I asked Ivan
"Oh I just enjoy watching you guys fight each other, you all are so broken" he smiled
"Says the guy that literally destroys everything he touches, without those spelled gloves and shoes, you'll have burnt us down the moment you stepped in!" I said he jumped up in anger
"Say that again and I'll remove this gloves and condemn you to a pain so great you'll wish you were dead!" He said angrily
"Oh come at me Ivan, and I'll show you the only place you belong is beneath my feet!"
There was a sudden explosion and I knew Eric had broken free from Gia's freezing spell
"Gia!!" Eric growled as he made for Gia's throat
"Eric no" I said as I quickly got in between him and Gia
"Oh come on, don't ruin the fight" Ivan said
"You shut your damn mouth Ivan!"
"She froze me Dianna, she fucking froze me!!" Eric yelled
"Oh you deserve more than a mere freezing spell!" Gia said
"Oh you shut up too Gia!"
A knife suddenly flew from the table right for Gia's face but I caught it, just before it touched Gia
"Great Eric, you want to stab your sister in the face!"
"A stab in the face is better than a stab in the back!" Eric said and Ivan laugh
"That was a good one Eric" Ivan chuckled and I gave him an angry stare
"Leave sister, I need to show this douchebag here that his powers are no match for mine!" Gia said
"Enough!!!" I yelled as a fiery flame shadowed me and they moved back
"Oh this never gets old!" Ivan grunted
"One more word from you Ivan and I will burn out that impudent tongue of yours!" I said then I faced Eric and Gia
"And you two, I certainly do not care about whatever altercations you harbour for each other but at least hear what I have to say first before you go at each other's throats, I didn't get you all to come here just to witness the typical Hammington reunion"
"Whatever you have to say, it better be worth sparing this arrogant sucker" Eric said
"How dare you...." Gia was saying but I quickly interrupted
"Just calm down please, for God sake, you two are supposed to be twins!!" I sighed
"Let's go have a sit"
We walked to the living room and Ivan stepped on the dead body on the floor
"Who's the dead pretty damsel?" Ivan asked
"Careful, stain the floor with her blood and you'll be the one to do the cleaning" I said and he scoffed
"You act like the saint sister but you've already killed someone upon arriving here" Gia said
"You and I very well know we are nothing close to saints so quit judging me perhaps, she deserved what she got, she got me outraged"
"And what did the human girl do that got you outraged sister?" Eric asked
"She wasn't a human Eric, she was a witch and she made a measly attempt to take my life"
"Take your life? If she really was a witch she will know that you cannot be killed, none of us can" Ivan said
"Oh she was a witch, apparently I killed her mother years ago, don't ask me how, I can't even remember who her mother is and I certainly did not keep a list of people that met their end by my hand"
"Fair enough, what did she want?" Gia asked
"Our dead pretty witch wanted to kill me and get revenge, not that she made good on her threat though, I was going to end her life when she made mention of something, she told me that even if I kill her, The Guardian will find me and my siblings and she will end us" I narrated
"The Guardian?" Eric asked
"Who's The Guardian?" Gia asked
"I was curious of that too, so I let the little witch escape and followed her trail which led me to this damn city, she found out I was following her so before she could make a run for it, I caught her, brought her here and well, let's just say things went south and she died"
"You mean you lost control and you killed her" Ivan said
"So why exactly did you ask us here and make me endure certain displeasure of being in the same vicinity with some uncultured being?" Gia asked
"Oh please Gia, we are all uncultured beings though you take the lead" Eric said
"Oh shut up you two, enough of your squabbles" Ivan said
"Finally! Someone is finally behaving like an elder brother" I said
"Oh am just learning from you elder sister" he smirked and I shook my head
"Back to the matter on ground" I said "With our little mate here unable to speak, I searched her belongings and I found this in her pocket"
I brought out an advert poster
"A Circus advert?" Eric said and I nodded
"Yes but look at the main performer, they call her Guardian of The Hell Gate, ring a bell?"
"I'll be damned if it doesn't" Ivan said
"Haughty Guardian was the one that cursed us centuries ago" Eric said
"But I thought she died, I mean we searched everywhere for her but we couldn't find her" Gia said
"But here she is" I said pointing to the poster "Seems like when she cursed us to stay alive till forever, she managed to stay alive as well"
"This is our chance, we can make her undo what she did to us, we will have to pay The Guardian of The Hell Gate a visit" Ivan said
"Definitely brother, she'll be holding a Circus performance tonight" I said
"Then what are we waiting for?" Gia said as she stood up
"Let's go meet the one that condemned us" Eric stood up too
"She will have to break the curse and set us free or die, either way things are not going to end up pretty for The Guardian" Ivan said
"Oh nothing gladdens my heart more than a potential prey" I smirked "Let's go, shall we?".........

Alpha Twins' Mate's broken Human
A Lesson in Magic
Claimed by the Alpha's Love
Four years ago, Fiona's meticulously planned conspiracy turned me from an ordinary omega into a prisoner carrying the weight of a murder charge.
Four years later, I return to a world that has changed beyond recognition.
My best friend Fiona, who is also my stepsister, has become the perfect daughter in my mother's eyes. And my ex-boyfriend, Ethan, is about to hold a high-profile mating ceremony with her.
The love, family bonds, and reputation that I once cherished have all been taken by Fiona.
Just when I had reached my breaking point, questioning the very purpose of my existence, the legendary Alpha Lucas of Moonhaven suddenly appeared in my life.
He is powerful and enigmatic, a figure that all werewolves hold in awe.
Yet, he shows an extraordinary persistence and tenderness towards me.
Is Lucas's appearance a gift from fate, or the start of another conspiracy?
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.
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
The Forbidden Throb
Mine changed in the time it took to open a door.
Behind it: my fiancé Nicholas with another woman.
Three months until our wedding. Three seconds to watch it all burn.
I should have run. Should have screamed. Should have done anything except stand there like a fool.
Instead, I heard the devil himself whisper in my ear:
"If you're willing, I could marry you."
Daniel. The brother I was warned about. The one who made Nicholas look like a choir boy.
He leaned against the wall, watching my world implode.
My pulse thundered. "What?"
"You heard me." His eyes burned into mine. "Marry me, Emma."
But as I stared into those magnetic eyes, I realized something terrifying:
I wanted to say yes to him.
Game on.
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

Accidentally Crossing the Tycoon
Four years ago, the Bailey family faced a devastating financial crisis.
Just when bankruptcy seemed inevitable, a mysterious benefactor emerged, offering salvation with one condition: a contract marriage.
Rumors swirled about this enigmatic man—whispers claimed he was hideously ugly and too ashamed to show his face, possibly harboring dark, twisted obsessions.
Without hesitation, the Baileys sacrificed me to protect their precious biological daughter, forcing me to take her place as a pawn in this cold, calculated arrangement.
Luckily, in those four years, the mysterious husband never asked to meet in person.
Now, in the final year of our arrangement, the husband I've never met is demanding we meet face to face.
But disaster struck the night before my return—drunk and disoriented, I stumbled into the wrong hotel room and ended up sleeping with the legendary financial mogul, Caspar Thornton.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?
