Introduction
Chapter 1
What would you do if you could see the future? Would you fight it? Would you accept your fate? Would you lie and say it was just a dream? I never thought I would be thrown into the world where questions like this existed, but here I was, fighting for my life and the life of the man I loved. The worst part? I saw it all coming, like a bullet between the eyes.
I’ve never known much about what the wolf life was like. I saw the signs of their packs and passed them as I drove around places. I saw their clubs and their diners, and I ignored them because they weren’t for me. As far as I’ve known, I’ve never spoken to one, I’ve never interacted with one, but they look just like us for the most part. You know, I just couldn’t lift a car up and throw it across the street.
I lived a quiet and normal life, a human life. It was going perfectly, too. You know, I was doing great at work, up for promotion in my architecture firm. I have been dating my boyfriend for six years. I had a wonderful apartment. Nothing could go wrong.
That wasn’t until my boyfriend got a huge promotion that was taking him out of New York to London. Lance took me out to this big fancy restaurant to tell me, I thought for a second maybe he was proposing, but no. Instead, he called for two glasses of champagne and told me about the promotion, explained the big pay raise, a huge apartment, and how he’d have a secretary. He told me that he was so thrilled to be moving to London. I thought for sure in the next breath, he would tell me that he needed me to come with him to make it complete.
“All these changes, and I think it’s best that I keep rolling with that,” he’d said, making my stomach drop. “ I think we should take a pause.”
He called for champagne, brought me to a fancy restaurant told me to put on my best dress to break up with me. One last magical night, he had said. He didn’t wanna leave in anger, so he thought we could have one last night together.
Yeah, no.
I got up and walked out of there as quickly as I could. Then a week or two later, my wonderful job turned out to be shit as they promoted a dumbass over me. Stephanie didn’t know how to run the coffee machine, it somehow she had gotten credit for my proposal and got my promotion.
I had spent weeks putting my heart and soul into that building. Going over every single line and detail so that when we presented it to the bank, they would see my vision. I was sure that they’d make me a partner after that. Instead, they promoted Stephanie for her leadership skills. I was tempted to quit, but then where would I go and what would I do? How would I pay my bills?
Oh yeah, my apartment?
Oh yeah, that had to be fumigated so I was bumming on my sister’s couch. Praying for God to just strike me with lightning now so that I could end my misery.
Jess, my sister, well, my half sister. Our mom was never really lucky in love. I was the product of a one-night stand, and Jess was the product of a relationship gone bad. At least we had each other, though my mom died when I was 16 from cancer. Jess took me in and saw me through the last two years, and then off to college I went. When I graduated, I had one person in the audience, Jess.
She was a lot more go with the flow than I was, and she saw this whole thing as a way to start over and begin a whole new adventure. Maybe I should move somewhere else, maybe I should get a new job, or start a whole new life.
Yeah, I wasn’t about that. I had worked hard to get where I was, and I wasn’t gonna give up. I liked my apartment, and I liked my job. I just had to prove my worth. Stephanie couldn’t put up this facade for long, and I knew that I just had to wait it out.
“We could egg her car,” Jess had suggested to me.
Not really one for taking the high road, either, my sister. Well, I was busy at home, reading my book and practicing my drawings for my buildings. Jess was out partying and dancing, and going to art galleries. Taking random trips to Jamaica, or a spur-of-the-moment road trip down to Florida because they were craving the churros at Disney World.
So when she suggested that we go out to get my mind off of things I was firmly against it and ready to plant my butt on her couch with a nice book and some ice cream. I wanted to wallow a bit longer. Sadly, my older sister had other ideas.
“Yeah, Allie, I know, but sadly, he is way below your league for you to wallow over him. That job doesn’t see your worth, and your apartment is gonna be fine, so you were getting dressed and getting up and coming out with me,” my sister ordered me about throwing some low-cut shirt my way. ” Or I kick you out! Move!” She shouted, pushing me into the bathroom.
I decided I’d play along for the night. Usually, one night out with Jess doesn’t kill me. The hangover does its best the next morning, but my sister had a point; Lance wasn’t worth the wallowing. I put my golden hair up into a ponytail, and the tiniest amount of mascara and gloss on, before shoving myself into the satin olive green top. A gift from Jess, she always bought me clothes in this color, to match my eyes, she’d say. Whenever she said that, her voice took a melancholy maternal tone. I had my mother's eyes.
Jess was a lot like her, and I was happy to please my sister after everything she’d done for me. Maybe a few drinks and some dancing might lighten my mood. I don’t think I could feel quite so much like God was out to get me if I were in the middle of a pounding dance floor.
True to fashion, she found the loudest dance club there, that was blasting music so loud I couldn’t even understand it, and she knew the bouncer, so we passed the line and jumped right in. That was when I noticed the wolf symbol on top of the building.
Jess hugged the bouncer on our way in, sidling right up to the bar to grab drinks. She signaled for two shots. Oh lord, here with go. I took the small glass from her and downed it.
I turned around, feeling a chill run up my spine.
I brushed it off, pushing the odd feeling to the side. I didn’t consider myself a lightweight, but I didn’t drink as much as my sister. Perhaps she’d chosen a high-caliber tequila.
“Why are we in a wolf club?” I asked, shouting over the music.

The Shattered Moon King
Lena is a survivor. For years, she has weathered the harsh, post-apocalyptic landscape by following one rule: trust no one. But when she finds an amnesiac man near death in the wilderness—a man with kind eyes and a strength that is anything but human—she makes a choice that will unravel her solitary existence.
She calls him Cain, but the shattered-moon tattoo on his back brands him as Kaelen, the long-dead Alpha of the powerful Sky-Fall pack. His return triggers a brutal civil war with the usurper who stole his throne and his fated mate. Hunted by Lycan assassins and a fanatical human commander desperate for the secrets locked in Lena's own past, their only hope lies in embracing the very power Kaelen can't remember and Lena has always feared.
As they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just the pack, but the future of every living thing, Kaelen must fight for a kingdom he doesn't know and Lena must confront a legacy she tried to bury. In a world of broken thrones and fated bonds, they will discover that the greatest choice is not between love and duty, but between who you are told you must be, and who you choose to become.
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.

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.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?

Still.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.

From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers.

Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
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...
