Introduction
Chapter 1
"Happy Birthday cutie pie!"
Raven smiles at her mom's text.
"Thanks Mom! Have my flowers arrived?"she replies, staring at the half heart tattoo on the back of her hand.
The other half is in Draco's hand, so whenever they hold hands, it makes a full heart.
Draco Aslan is her mate, and the most perfect man in this world. In this life full of darkness and sorrow, he is her light and joy, everything and the only thing that makes her happy.
They've known each other since they were six, even back then she knew she would be his Luna, not because she understood what "Alpha heir" meant, but because she knew he was THE prince of her life.
"Don't even think about it."
The sound of Claire's voice brings her attention back to the laboratory.
Claire is one of her course mates. Class ended a while ago but Claire and her clique like to hang back and gossip. They have tea about everyone on campus and this is where they heartily share it.
They don't mind that she hears, because to them, she doesn't even exist.
"What? I just want to say hi to her," a boy whose name she does not know says and the ladies chuckle.
"To that pretty face? Yeah...If you're not Professor McCall, a test tube or a conical flask, the lab worm speaks to no one." One of them says in a sarcastic tone.
"Listen," Claire's voice goes octaves lower, the way it normally does when they gossip about people. "I heard she has a mental illness and if she stops studying and has fun even for a few minutes, she'll run mad."
"Then they should have sent her to an asylum, not a college. Maybe she'd actually talk to her fellow mad people," another of the ladies replies and they all laugh.
Raven wipes the corner of her eyes, just realising their harsh and false words are making her eyes watery.
Mean girls are everywhere but she never learned how to deal with them. Usually, when this sort of thing happens, she would run out to cry in the bathroom and when Draco finds out, they would pay dearly.
She pretends not to hear them, packs her things, and bites her lips when she passes them without making eye contact. Her ears are burning, but they are the ones who should feel ashamed!
The moment she makes it out of the lab, tears burst out. Draco cared for her so well that she didn't have to learn all these...until college. She doesn't live in the lab, although she usually stays till midnight, but not today, it's her birthday.
It's her only day off in the year, the one day she can't be here all day.
She checks her phone again. Her mom hasn't replied yet so she texts her.
"Send a picture of the flower when it arrives, thanks!"
On the twilight of her birthdays, roses from Draco arrive. It's been like that ever since she understood what "romantic" was. This is the night she wants to be nowhere else, but just to enjoy it at home. This is her night.
She needs to get a certain red wine. It's Draco's favorite. Tonight won't be the same without it.
She remembers the first time they tasted this wine. It was the night of her 17th birthday. She wasn't allowed to drink until she was 18, but he was already 18 a few months ago, and he bragged about how he could buy alcohol now.
She begged him to let her have a taste, and he taunted her till she was almost in tears. In the end, he gave up his "manly" whiskey and got a wine, this particular wine, so she could join, and she got drunk.
The next morning, Draco's dad gave him a hell of a beating for getting her drunk and typical Draco got them another bottle to console himself that same night.
She parks her car in her apartment's car park, texting her mom again. It's already dark out, her flowers should have arrived by now.
She's beginning to get worried.
"Not yet honey, maybe he didn't order them this year?"
She snatches the bag containing the wine and a few other items from the passenger seat and makes her way to her room.
Her steak slips out of the bag but she doesn't even stop to pick it up, rushing upstairs, her heart racing and her eyes becoming wet.
Draco always gets her flowers, there's no way he wouldn't have sent them. She doesn't even want to think that she's not getting them this year.
She rummages through her stuff for a card from last year, and texts them her order number.
"Your package has been delivered."
They text back in a few minutes.
She feels a little better. Her light and joy cannot forget what today is. She knew he wouldn't.
She mindlinks her mom this time around, maybe someone else got the package at the house and not her.
"The package has been delivered mom. Are you sure no one got it?"
From her vision, she can see her mom looking at her dad and her mom is chewing her lower lip, something she only does when she's done something she believes is wrong.
"What happened to my flowers, mom?" Raven asks sternly, feeling a tinge of annoyance in her heart.
"Your father....he— look honey—"
"What did dad do?" Raven cuts her off sharply, her breath rising and falling.
"He trashed them," her mom replies, dropping the link.
"How could you?!" She mindlinks her dad immediately, yelling at him.
He knows how important those flowers are to her, how much she looks forward to getting them every year.
"Why don't you come home and do something about it?" He replies harshly, "no one has seen you in years, you choose to stay in that college miles away from us, from home, from everyone."
"That has nothing to do with my flowers, you have no right to throw my stuff away."
Draco's flowers are the highlight of her day and he just ruined it. Why? Why would he do this?
"You need to forget about him, Raven."
"He's my fated mate," she growls, feeling so much anger at her dad.
"He's your fated mate. Yes, but he's also fucking dead. Wake up!" He yells back.
His words hit her like a rocket and tears start to pour down her eyes. She grabs the bag of wine and throws it far across the room, yelling in rage before she breaks down in tears.

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?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.

I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
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.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

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.
Goddess Of The Underworld
When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armour, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. 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. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.
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
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
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.
——————————————————
When eigteen-year-old Aurora Wells moves to a sleepy town with her parents, the last thing she expects is to be enrolled in a secret academy for werewolves.
Moonbound Academy is no ordinary school. It's here young Lycans, Betas and Alphas train in shifting, elemental magic, and ancient pack laws. But Aurora? She's just...human. a mistake. The new receptionist forgot to check her species - and now she's surrounded by predators who sense she doesn't belong.
Determined to stay under the radar, Aurora plans to survive the year unnoticed. But when she catches the attention of Zayn, a brooding and infuriatingly powerful Lycan prince, her life gets a lot more complicated. Zayn already has a mate. He already has enemies.

Enemies will rise. Loyalties will shift. And the girl with no place in their world...might be the key to saving it.
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?
