Introduction
I really had no plans to study politics before, I was blinded by love and decided to take what I am not good at. I took politics but deep inside I really want to be a knight. I know archery and swordsmanship, Dad taught me before he disappeared. He would always train me to be one since I don’t have a brother.
I was a little rebel back in then, I don’t wear fancy dresses and wear fancy shoes. I always go out and play with swords. But when papa had an accident, the King took care of me and dressed me up to be a princess. Not that I don't want to but I really wanted to hold a sword again.
"Instead of taking politics, I wanted to be a knight." I don’t want to be the Queen if it will end my life anyway.
"But do you want to marry my son?"
‘If only he would marry and love me too’ That’s what I would answer in my mind case…
“I do not wish to marry the prince. I wish to be a knight who protects the prince. ” I said confidently.
Chapter 1
Chapter 1: The King of Gem empire
I'm still staring to this day. Am I back in the past? Is that possible? I looked at myself in the mirror. I look young and healthy, and I'm 18years old here?
I still remember what happened in the past... but I don't want to mind it, because I think I'm going crazy.
"Princess, the prince did not come today to find out your condition. But his assistant is here. " Maddy's response to me was weak.
I scratched my head so hard, did I almost drown just to get Alistair's attention? I'm about to die, isn't he going to visit me? It's my fault too.
I stood up and approached one of the drawers. I'm sure I won't regret it, I took scissors and cut my hair short.
"P-Princess? Why? " Maddy's startled cry. "Princess Astraea, the one who almost drowned just to pay attention to the dear prince. Pity your hair. "I smiled as I turned to her.
"Maddy, I'll be the one to follow" He bowed to what I said. Why would I ever pay attention to someone who doesn't like me?
I have to change my destiny or I will die again. This is the second chance I am asking for, this is the second life that I will take care of so that what should have happened will not happen again.
But first let me change my look and my gaze. I sighed looking at my old maid with my cold eyes. I'm sorry, in order to achieve my goal I need to be fierce and strong. I'm not the same old Astraea from before.
"Maddy, Call me June from now on. Princess Juniper Vanderwaine of the Ruby Palace. " I said with confidence.
Astraea is dead already. Meet Juniper, call me June.
"You're the one to follow, Princess June." Maddy replied politely.
"And by the way, don't report about the dear prince." I said to her.
"I'm sorry?" -Maddy.
"I mean, don't tell me what the dear prince is doing. I'm sure he's very busy, he will take care of his life. "I saw Maddy's eyes widen and she smiled at me like she was relieved.
"I'll follow your command my princess."
She came out and I sat in front of the mirror. I still have my blue eyes and silver hair, but my hair is short. It's good, sometimes it's boring to comb. It was too long before I cut it, because maybe men like long hair. So I lengthened my hair for all to like.
I just haven't seen him in recent days. Of course I already know the reason, he was avoiding me. I was one of the future Queen candidates of the Gem empire, in my candidacy I only saw Alistair again. Case looks like he already likes non to Seraphina, Seraphina Clement was the future Queen of the Gem Empire.
She was kind and soft though. Too kind to be true, a Queen material indeed. I only talked to her a few times but the last time I hurt her. And thus I executed. Probably because of jealousy? Hatred? I forgot...
"Princess?" I turned to see who was speaking. Ah Flloyd! He is Alitairs's assistant, he is what Maddy is referring to. "Are you okay now?"
"Yes, I'm fine now." I said to him with a smile.
"About the prince-"
"I don't have any business with the prince." I said let's sit together in my seat. "You have other business here, am I right? Tell me. I did not ask about the prince."
I saw the shock in his two eyes. because everyone knows I'm very inlove to Alistair. Why am I so dead to him?
"A-Ah of course, I'm sorry. It's about the 'Queen candidate'. The King wants to see you "I was suddenly humbled. Shit, I forgot that I volunteered to be in the first seat.
Is there a way to back out from this competition?
Maddy dressed me up and fixed my hair.
Why did I flirt before, so I will die because of my own stupidity.
I walked over to the carriages prepared by the guards. Ruby Palace is a peaceful place full of gardens, it is the only palace with full of flowers and trees. One of the best palace in the Empire.
I went in and sat down, I had no plans to go anywhere. Of course I'm still very tired from death.
"Princess June, we are already here." Reluctantly I nodded, I modestly got down and walked inside.
'Good day dear princess'
'Is Princess Astraea here again?'
'She is here for the dear prince'
'Shut up, you may be heard there and we will be punished'
I was disappointed in my mind. This freaking sh*t is really very playful. I took out the fan and put it on my face. Embarrassing, was I like that before? REGRETS! EW!
I have already entered the room where the dear king is. He was sitting in a chair and holding papers. Wow it must be hard to be a King who rules all the Palaces.
"Astraea!" He responded happily when he saw me. I bowed at him and greeted him back.
"Greetings to the King of Gem Empire." I greeted while bowing.
"Your etiquette has improved I see! You're really fit to be the Queen. " I coughed at what the King said.
I remembered before how he always supports me to be the Queen, but before the competition started, he was killed by an unknown person. Of course the Kingdom was in chaos, so they hurried to find the Queen and hurried to put the Prince on the throne.
I was 23 when the competition started and that time the King was already murdered. Before the competition, we have to attend school. You have to graduate first before you enter the Queen candidate.
Which means I have to attend school for 2 years. Nice
"So how are you with my son?" And that's when I almost died.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?

I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**

When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
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.
Invisible To Her Bully
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.
My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.
After my grandmother passed, I had to move in with my mom and stepdad, who treated me like a servant. I prayed every day for my 18th birthday to come, so l could leave and escape this broken home.
However, on my first day at my new school, l encountered the legendary twins everyone feared.
To make matters worse, the Moon Goddess revealed they were both my mates!
After helping me out with my stepdad, my twin mate cornered me, played with my hair, and whispered possessively, "You belong to us, our little mate..."
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.

Balance of Light and Shadow
Little did she know how much both worlds need her to bring peace and true freedom.
Surrendering to Destiny
Graham MacTavish wasn't prepared to find his mate in the small town of Sterling that borders the Blackmoore Packlands. He certainly didn't expect her to be a rogue, half-breed who smelled of Alpha blood. With her multi-colored eyes, there was no stopping him from falling hard the moment their mate bond snapped into place. He would do anything to claim her, protect her and cherish her no matter the cost.
From vengeful ex-lovers, pack politics, species prejudice, hidden plots, magic, kidnapping, poisoning, rogue attacks, and a mountain of secrets including Catherine's true parentage there is no shortage of things trying to tear the two apart.
Despite the hardships, a burning desire and willingness to trust will help forge a strong bond between the two... but no bond is unbreakable. When the secrets kept close to heart are slowly revealed, will the two be able to weather the storm? Or will the gift bestowed upon Catherine by the moon goddess be too insurmountable to overcome?
Crowned by Fate
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.
“You’re unbelievable. I’d rather accept your rejection than live like that.”
As a girl without a wolf, I left my mate and my pack behind.
Among humans, I survived by becoming a master of the temporary: drifting job to job… until I became the best bartender in a dusty Texas town.
That’s where Alpha Adrian found me.
No one could resist the charming Adrian, and I joined his mysterious pack hidden deep in the desert.
The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
The werewolf world was on the verge of a revolution. That’s when I saw Leon again...
Torn between two Alphas, I had no idea that what awaited us wasn’t just a competition—but a series of brutal, unforgiving trials.

Badass in Disguise
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.
"OUT!" I snarled with enough force that both women backed toward the door.
Once feared by Shadow Organization that drugged me to replicate my abilities into a more controllable version, I had escaped my restraints and detonated their entire facility, ready to die alongside my captors.
Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."

“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
