Introduction
Oscar winner Adrian Pierce announced his divorce at midnight.
Hours later, his ex-wife ended a ten-thousand-word farewell with one line for me:
Claire Sutton, you won.
Adrian is yours.
By breakfast, half the internet wanted to know why I'd destroyed their marriage.
I wanted to know, too.
After all, I'd been secretly married for eight years.
Why would I want her ex-husband?

Chapter 1
Oscar winner Adrian Pierce announced his divorce at midnight.
Hours later, his ex-wife ended a ten-thousand-word farewell with one line for me:
Claire Sutton, you won. Adrian is yours.
By breakfast, half the internet wanted to know why I'd destroyed their marriage.
I wanted to know, too.
After all, I'd been secretly married for eight years.
Why would I want her ex-husband?
————————————————
Adrian's statement went up after midnight. I saw it over coffee the next morning.
The news had held the top trending spot for ten hours. Everyone had a theory about why an Oscar-winning actor and his wife of six years had split. Some of Adrian's fans came straight to my page for answers.
Adrian and I had worked together several times. His breakout film—the one that won him his Oscar—had included both of us, though we led different story lines. Publicists had promoted us as friends, and fans liked to say he looked at me as if the cameras had caught something real.
They hadn't.
We were colleagues. Friendly ones, on a good day.
That morning, an entertainment host asked me about the divorce anyway.
"What do you think about Adrian Pierce being single again?"
"I'm watching the drama from my couch like everyone else."
She smiled as if I'd invited the next question. "People have shipped you two for years. Is there any chance you'll date now?"
"None."
"None?"
"Adrian and I are friends. That's all."
The clip went online before lunch. Fans flooded the comments.
Finally, he's free.
Claire only said no because the divorce is fresh.
Friends can become lovers.
I rubbed my temple. Adrian and I had played a couple exactly once, and those characters had broken up before the credits. Somehow, that had produced years of shipping edits.
I finished my coffee and moved on.
Then Vanessa Reed posted her farewell to her marriage.

The Rejected Luna’s Rise
4.6k Views · Ongoing · Blessing Imafidon
They were already married for three years when Alpha Damian Zeus’s long-lost first love, Lily, returned bringing along a five-year-old pup.
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
5.6k Views · Ongoing · Kit Bryan
Have you ever seen a screaming toddler and thought, wow, they just can’t be the same good-natured kid who was eating cereal ten minutes ago?
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.

The Devil’s Contract: Kiss Me Like A Lie
2.5k Views · Ongoing · Diana Matthew
My heat hit me in the middle of my own engagement party to a man who kills Omegas.
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.
Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
Soren Fox has lived his whole life making sure no one ever learns what he truly is. An omega pretending to be a Beta, fighting in underground rings just to survive and keep his sister alive.
But one contract drags them into a dangerous partnership of lies, heat, and power, and when Soren is kidnapped, Reign realizes too late that the omega he never wanted has become the one person he can’t live without.

The Vampire King's Feeder

"Kane stays unmoving, and I realize he’s barely breathing. I don’t think he needs oxygen to stay alive, so that’s not too surprising, but I can’t’ figure out why he is so still. His hand at my waist is so very close to my breastbone, the longing for him to slide it up only a few inches, to touch me in places no one ever has before, has a gasp leaving my lips. I have to bite down again to keep from moaning, and he hasn’t even kissed me yet."
Emory: I was born to be the Alpha of my pack, my father's first born daughter. But now... I am here, in the castle of our greatest enemy, the Vampire King. I should hate Kane Alexander, but the more time I spend with him, the more I long for him in ways I cannot understand. I am not here to be his lover, though. I am here to be his feeder. But even before his lips graze my skin the first time, I know I would give myself to him in every way imaginable if only he should ask. Kane: I long to taste the wolf shifter, but not her blood, her body... her essence. I want her in every way imaginable. But I'm already betrothed to marry another blood-born vampire, and if I call that off, I have resigned my kingdom to yet another war. There has to be a way to keep Emory Moonraker as my feeder but not claim her in my bed. I just haven't figured it out yet, and every time I look into her jade eyes, I forget everything and everyone but her. But I have enemies, and every moment she spends here in my home, Castle Graystone, she's in danger.
