Introduction
Scarlet Dark is a 20-year-old pureblooded wolf and the daughter of Alpha who will fall in love with a vampire Lord—Riskel Vlad.
In a world where love is not for two races born to be enemies, how can their hearts fight the strange feeling? Despite the enmity and war of vampires and wolves, there is still true love attached.
This is not just only a love story but the story of love, forgiveness, and, unity.
Chapter 1
Marriage is everyone’s dream. But how could you be happy if your ideal marriage was not with someone you love?
I’m Scarlet Dark, Alpha’s only daughter. Many people believe I am the luckiest creature alive since I already have everything they desire. Every woman desires wealth, power, and the love of a guy. But this is not how I feel. It’s like I’m trapped in my own life… I am already 20 years old, but I am not free.
They claim it is a substitute for power and wealth. I never saw myself being an Alpha’s child. If I could choose in my life, I might have evolved into a regular wolf that is free to pursue her dreams rather than being a slave to Alpha’s commands.
Even in love, I can’t choose the man I want. As is the case right now. Grey Sacred, my father’s right hand, the Beta, must marry me.
I just stared at myself in the mirror, admiring my lovely makeup. My eyes were having a hard time seeing. When was the last time I gave myself a lovely smile?
There was a knock on the door a few seconds later. I didn’t say anything else because she had purposefully opened it.
“Alpha is calling you. The wedding is about to begin,” my servant announced. I didn’t look at her; all I conveyed was a heavy breath.
“I’ll just wait for you outside,” she continued. And she came out after she said this.
To whom may I express my dissatisfaction with this wedding? What should I do now? I desperately wanted to flee. I need to get out of this situation.
I took a deep breath and then slowly stood up. Before stepping towards the door, I even tore off the white gown I was wearing. Before I opened the door, my hand was still trembling. My phony grin was visible. Hopefully, I’ll be able to run now. Is it even possible?
I felt as if I were floating in mid-air. My feet are traveling towards Alpha on purpose. I, on the other hand, was not happy. How can I be as content as they are?
“You’re so beautiful, Scarlet,” Alpha said.
“Thank you.” This is the only word my mouth can express.
My eyes are drawn to the lovely surroundings. The venue is surrounded by white flowers. The designs are visually appealing. Maybe if I liked Grey, I could appreciate the beauty of this wedding, but no. I’m not going to like it even once. I’ve known Grey since I was a child, but I couldn’t feel the love he was requesting me to give him.
My heartbeat becomes increasingly faster as time passes. The romantic song has begun to play, and everyone is singing along. If before I could still walk, but now that I am in front of them, while everyone is waiting for me to step closer to my destination, I can no longer move.
In my life, I had to make a choice. I just chose what I believe is best for me. Not as a child of Alpha, but as an individual.
“Sorry…” I shook my head, tears streaming down my cheeks. I could see my father’s disappointment on his face. I’m going to defy his command for the first time. Everything around me appeared to slow down. I rapidly changed forms after releasing the flower I was holding. My white fur continues to wave. I glanced at my father before running away. I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. All I knew was that I needed it for myself. I will find the real fun I need. Not choking on obedience as a child.
I quickly ran into the thick forest. I knew many guards were chasing me, but I was faster than them. Until I was unexpectedly stopped by a beast. I jumped into a large tree because of what he did. My body was pounding so hard that I had to return to my form.
Because of the pain, I was even held by my side. My mouth didn’t say anything. I simply stared into the man’s fiery eyes. He snarled at me and flashed his fang for a few seconds. I’m already aware of the type of beast he is.
“A vampire,” I said flatly. I didn’t even have any dread in my eyes. When I stare into this man’s eyes, I’m not sure why I can’t feel it.
His skin is white. His jaw is in good shape. His fangs are as sharp as his eyes. This is my first encounter with a vampire, and I must say that he is quite appealing. He is the only man I encounter who stands out enough to be noticed among the other males I meet. I didn’t move from where I was standing until he was able to get permanently close to me. I didn’t want to argue with him or prevent him from doing what he wanted. His gaze was fixed on me as if it were probing my soul. He’s as cold as an ice cube. What is his name?
His voice sends thrills down my spine as he asks, “for what reason wouldn’t I be able to read your mind?” His solemn, cold voice makes him even more attractive.
He grabbed my arm a split second later. I have not appealed as before. Maybe he was looking for something and couldn’t seem to find it. I was completely focused on his face, down to his soft lips, when I noticed his fangs. He’s like a work of art. I had no idea vampires looked like this.
“Lord Rickel. She’s the daughter of Alpha!” It was a male’s voice, but I just ignored it.
I said, “Risk.” He peered into my eyes once more after I mentioned his name.
“Who are you, and why can’t I see your personality?” he asked, his face irritated. His rage made his eyes even redder.
“Get her!” he shouted, his teeth clenched. Following his words, a rag was placed over my eyes, obscuring my vision.
I joined them voluntarily, and I’m not sure why. It was my choice. But why is my mind searching for this man? When I saw him, it was as if a link was flowing through my heart that connected to him.

Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

Confused by his words, I stammered out a question, “P..pardon? What does that mean?”
But he simply smiled at me and brushed my hair away from my face with gentle fingers: "You are safe now.”
Sephie, named for the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, she's quickly finding out how she's destined to fulfill her namesake's role. Adrik is the King of the Underworld, the boss of all bosses in the city he runs.
