I thought I'd never see Jake Morrison again.

Three years ago, that bloody night changed everything—my father died, my mother became a vegetable, and his parents were killed in the same revenge attack. To infiltrate the criminal organization that murdered our families, I chose to disappear, letting him think I'd fallen to the dark side, making him hate me completely.

But fate loves its cruel joke...

When I was twenty, Samuel called off our engagement and chose Stella instead.

After the engagement party ended, he told me: "Stella saved my life once. Now her father wants to marry her off to that disgusting old man Harrison Burke. I can't just stand by and watch."

He said to give him three years to repay his debt of gratitude, and after three years he would come back to me.

Like a fool, I wai...

As an Omega, Stella suffers from a rare condition called frequent heat syndrome, enduring burning desire every week. But her boyfriend Alexander grows increasingly cold, preferring to "study" with the scheming Madison until late at night rather than help ease her suffering.

When another heat cycle arrives and Alexander abandons her once again, Stella finally breaks down. She turns her attention t...

She carved my face with a box cutter. Murdered my mother in a "car accident." Called me trailer trash who didn't deserve to breathe.
Now Madison Blackwell—my high school tormentor—is sliding into my DMs like a desperate fangirl.
"OMG ScarlettGlow! Your biggest fan here! We went to high school together!"
The bitch who destroyed my life doesn't even remember doing it.
I'm sitting across from her rig...

Claire got her death sentence at life's happiest moment—advanced cancer, six months to live.

At that very time, her husband Kelvin was at a crucial juncture in his career. To avoid becoming his burden, Claire orchestrated the perfect "betrayal"—letting Kelvin witness her "affair" with his own eyes. The enraged Kelvin immediately filed for divorce, and Claire became exactly what she intended: an u...

I thought my fiancé and sister killing me was just a nightmare—until it started happening again, exactly the same.7:50 PM. The doorbell rang. Scarlett stood outside in her blue sweater while I wore my gray hoodie—identical to my dream. When Rex broke down the door, I frantically texted Cass: "Call police. Please."But he didn't bring any police.After we "fought off" Rex together, Cass pointed at th...

My mother came to my baby's first birthday party with murder in her purse.
Not a literal weapon—something far more vicious. A fake DNA test claiming my daughter wasn't my husband's child. She planned to destroy my family in front of everyone: friends, neighbors, people recording everything for social media.
She got her wish.
Caspian shattered. Jumped off the balcony right there at the country club...

I died once.

Torn apart by the fiancée of the Alpha Prince who I thought loved me, bleeding out on a cold basement floor. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back in that luxury car heading to the Royal Territory—one year ago, about to walk into this beautiful trap because I saved an amnesiac stranger named "Alex."

In my past life, I was too naive, thinking that saving a wounded stranger woul...

When I woke up in the hospital after the crash, I croaked "Bro" at my brother. He stared back like I was a stranger and coldly shot back, "I'm not your brother."

Even more bizarre, he pointed at some guy with an IV stand and said, "That's your brother." I clutched my sheets, faking amnesia, and followed this "fake brother" home, only to discover his leukemia medication and hear him coughing blood...

I thought that one night's mistake would be our biggest secret, until two pink lines appeared on the pregnancy test.

Patrick was my stepbrother, the forbidden territory I should stay away from, the person I thought would never belong to me. When I saw Luna's text, when I thought I was just his drunken substitute, I decided to disappear with this secret.

But on that stormy afternoon, when he bloc...

My husband Michael's father and my own father shared the same name—Robert. His was Robert Carter; mine, Robert Smith. I once thought it a sweet coincidence, until that 3 AM phone call turned this quirk of fate into a living nightmare.
The nursing home called to say Robert Carter had died, but when Michael returned from his business trip, he assumed it was my father who had passed. "Old Robert's fi...

They say love means never having to say you're sorry. But what if the man who promised to love you points a gun-wielding stranger straight at your heart?

My name is Victoria Kingsley. Three months ago, I was Orange County's perfect housewife. Then my husband chose his pregnant mistress over me at gunpoint. That's when I discovered my marriage was built on my father's suicide, stolen retirement fu...

He killed my parents, then saved me.

For five years, I called him Papa and carved up his enemies with grateful hands.

Until that woman claimed to carry his child—so I cut it from her belly myself.

This wasn't father-daughter love. This was the perfect revenge plot.

This wasn't salvation. This was exquisite torture.

When the truth ripped away every lie: my savior was the monster who destroyed ...

I thought next week I'd be walking through the daisies on Grandma's farm to marry the man who promised to treat me like a princess—until our wedding planner's call shattered everything. He'd changed our venue to a Tuscan castle because it was his childhood friend Lina's favorite place? When exactly had I agreed to that?

What chilled me to the bone was seeing Grandma's heirloom necklace—my heirloo...

Six years ago, I left him to protect him, letting him believe I betrayed him for money.

Six years later, when I thought I could quietly slip back into New York, I discovered I'd already fallen into the web he'd carefully woven around me—my job, my apartment, even my mother's medical bills, everything was under his control.

"Welcome home, Irene. This time, you're not going anywhere."

Ronald Ashw...

Eric Kane married me when I was at my most desperate.

Everyone said this Alpha only married me to get revenge for my sister's betrayal.

For three years, I rejected all his marking requests, telling myself this was just a transaction.

Until that phone call came, he died on his way home.

He left me a phone with a video inside.

I gently tapped it open to hear his tender yet desperate voice. He s...

I was the most pathetic existence on campus.

Thick glasses, baggy sweaters, walking through the cafeteria like crossing a minefield. Albert, my childhood crush of three years, publicly mocked me as "a pathetic little dog following him around." Campus queen Madison crushed me under her heel. That rainy night, I gave up completely and swore to make them all pay.

Three months later, I returned.

Br...

I thought the day I put on that wedding dress would be the most beautiful moment of my life.

Until I heard my fiancé Marcus talking to his mistress in the next fitting room—"Does she really believe you love her?" "Of course she believes it. Sophia's so damn naive, I just gotta say some romantic bullshit and she gets all teary-eyed and grateful."

In that moment, my world shattered completely. Thr...

I used to think I was living the perfect life. I had my career as a strategic planner that was respected across the region. I had Kai, my fiancé who I'd loved since we were kids. I even daydreamed about the pups we'd have someday, little ones running around the pack house with his eyes and my stubbornness.

But that was all bullshit.

One conversation I wasn't supposed to hear changed everything. ...

I died once and was reborn into a world where assassins walk among us.

Seventy years of mundane housewife life in my past made me crave excitement—I never expected my new life to open with a bloodbath. Meeting Raven, that injured German assassin in a dark alley, changed everything. We became the legendary duo "Swans," navigating an underground world ruled by ancient laws, trading gold coins for l...
