When he raised his eyes again he cocked an eyebrow. I was unbuttoning my top while running the pink tip of my tongue around my lips. His eyes narrowed. I was now just in my lacy underwear.
"Can you say no to all these Drake Quintero?" I asked huskily as I touched my brasts under my bra. I slowly went towards him.
"Make me yours, you won't regret it, " I said almost like a whisper as I looked at his gorgeous face.
He can't help but curse with what I said. His eyes turned dark. My face broke into a seductive smile. He wanted me after all. He was just playing hard to get.
"Take me my boo..."I uttered in a breathy voice as I began to unhook my brassiere.

Thessaly "Thess" Ashenheart is not a princess. She is a mistake—a cursed, magic-less anomaly tucked away in the ruins of her conquered kingdom, Lumenvale. But when her brother is captured, she trades the last scrap of her freedom to the only being terrifying enough to accept the bargain: Davorin Noctis, the Shadow King.

Davorin, the immortal ruler who destroyed her family, is a monster bound by his own curse: the death-touch. A single brush of his skin drains the life from anything it meets. Their alliance is meant to be a political cage, but when the King's death-touch inexplicably fails to kill Thess, the court is thrown into chaos. She is declared the "Sun-Bonded," the subject of a prophecy demanding she fuse her soul and power with the very man she swore to hate.

Trapped in the gothic splendor of the Shadow Realm, Thess must navigate a court riddled with assassins, treachery, and the seductive closeness of a man who is terrifyingly cold and devastatingly vulnerable. As her hidden dream-walking power awakens—the very magic that cursed her—she discovers the devastating truth: Davorin is not the villain; he is a tormented host for The Void Wraith, an ancient cosmic entity clawing its way back to consume the world.

Now, Thess must choose between loyalty to her vengeful family and the desperate love growing for the King who needs her light to survive. With the Void launching a brutal invasion and Davorin slipping into a final, terrifying possession, Thess realizes their only hope lies in completing the impossible Sun-Bond. It's a magical union that demands the sacrifice of their autonomy, their identities, and possibly their lives, performed on a bloody battlefield as their kingdom crumbles.

Can a princess who was born broken merge her soul with the monster who destroyed her world?

"Papa, why are we here?" I questioned, my voice trembling.
"Be quiet, Aria. You ask too many questions" he replied, refusing to meet my gaze.
"Papa?" I called out, concerned as I noticed his trembling hands and perspiring brow. He turned to face me, his eyes filled with anxiety. "What's wrong?" I asked, my worry intensifying. He seemed worn out and stressed, as if he might collapse at any moment.

My father sold me to a billionaire for fifty million dollars, but he didn’t know he was handing me straight to the most ruthless Alpha werewolf in existence.

He didn’t hesitate. I stood in the living room as he signed the contract, treating me like merchandise. No suitcase. No farewell. Just a completed transaction. I was shoved into a black luxury car and driven deep into a towering, watchful forest. I expected a cold, old CEO.

Instead, the doors opened to Alpha Kael Draven.

He stood at the top of the marble staircase, broad-shouldered and dangerously handsome. His eyes weren't human. They were liquid silver. The guards lining the hall lowered their heads in absolute terror. He walked toward me slowly, studying me like a predator inspecting his prey.

"You understand why you are here," he said, his voice a low rumble. "You are my bride."

He stepped too close. The air around him felt thick, electric, almost alive. Then he inhaled. Slowly. His entire body went still. A suppressed growl vibrated in his chest.

When his fingers brushed the skin of my neck, a sharp pulse of energy shot through me. Above us, the massive crystal chandelier trembled violently, crystals shattering against the marble floor.

Kael’s silver eyes darkened into something lethal. He grabbed my wrist, pulling me toward the moonlight. A glowing crescent mark was burning into my skin.

"You smell human," he whispered, his voice dropping into a dangerous, possessive growl. "But humans cannot trigger a mate mark."

He trapped me against the pillar, his massive frame caging me in. "What exactly are you?"

If Kael Draven was right, my parents hadn’t just sold me for money. They had delivered me to a supernatural world that had been hunting me all along. And now… the most dangerous Alpha in the city had just claimed me as his.

This wasn’t just a love story—it was a war. A battle of control and surrender, of pleasure tangled with power, of a hunger that burned hotter than hate.

Draven Nightbourne didn’t take Reyna for her blood. He didn’t steal her away for power or revenge. He took her because he had to—because fate had bound them together long before she ever knew his name. A prophecy warned that if he failed to protect her, she would be his downfall. But with every whispered command, every slow, torturous test of her submission, he wondered—was she here to destroy him, or to make him kneel?

Reyna swore she would never yield to him. She fought him at every turn, even as her body betrayed her, even as the lines between fear and desire, pain and pleasure blurred into something darkly addictive. Draven never forced—he controlled, breaking her down with silk and steel, binding her in ways that had nothing to do with chains.

She was his captive, his obsession, his mate.

And when his hands pinned her in place, when his mouth brushed the pulse at her throat, when he whispered “mine” like a vow—

She knew she already was.

“I saved you, Shekina,” Azi appeared in front of me, standing tall as he looked down at me. “Now you live to serve me. Your life depends on me.”

I smiled back. “Serve who?” I winced when my vision spun.

“Can’t you just be glad I saved your life?”

I laughed. “I didn’t want to be saved.”

He froze but got himself together quickly. “Unfortunately, you’re still alive. And as long as you are, you’re tied to me. I decide when you’re free. As long as I have you, you have to do what I want. You are nothing but a pet of mine that I can get rid of anytime I want.”

Tears fell from my eyes.

“You turned me into a monster!” I screamed. “I’ll never forgive you.”

He tilted his head. “Monster?” he laughed. “Just because we drink blood doesn’t mean we’re monsters. And I don’t care if you don’t forgive me. Anyway, forget this dramatic talk. No matter what you do, you’ll serve me. You won’t die until I say so.”

With my last breath, I screamed, “You can have my life, not my choices, you beast! You can turn me into a monster like you, but someday you’ll regret it. You’ll regret that you saved me. You’ll regret that you met me!”

I sniffed… I couldn’t feel my body anymore.

“I have been living for centuries now, Shekina. That threat doesn’t work.”

I laughed even though I was confused, in pain, and angry.

“That’s because… you didn’t have me in those years.”

Liora Hale was a substitute bride forced to take her stepsister’s place and marry the young master of the Blackwood family, a deformed cripple rumored to have few months left to live.
“Who would have thought that even a sickly wretch like Dominic Blackwood would find himself a bride?”
At the altar, after their vows were spoken, she lifted her veil and knelt before Dominic Blackwood, pressing a hesitant kiss to his lips. The marriage contract was signed. No matter his deformities, he was now her husband.
She wasn’t afraid of the scars that marked his face, nor was she repulsed by the wheelchair that confined him. Every morning, she prepared his breakfast, attended to his needs, and thought of nothing beyond her duties as a wife.
“Young Master Blackwood is a cripple who can’t even perform,” her best friend argued.
“When he dies, you’ll still be untouched. You should aim higher.”
Later in their marriage, Dominic found himself wanting to enjoy his little wife in every way the press of her lips against his, the brush of skin against skin, the intimacy a husband and wife were meant to share.
But Liora refused him, blushing furiously.
“No, we can’t. The doctor said you’re not allowed to exert yourself.”
Desire surged through Dominic, hot and relentless. He cursed inwardly.
I should have gotten rid of that doctor and this wheelchair long ago.
Unable to restrain himself any longer, he finally revealed the truth.
In the blink of an eye, the deformed cripple disappeared, replaced by a powerful man tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome. He silenced Liora’s protests as he leaned over her, caging her against the bed with his arms.
His voice dropped low as he asked,
“What about now"?

"It's not compensating. It's lagging," I said, my grease-stained hands resting on my hips as I corrected the most arrogant, untouchable F1 racer on my very first day.
Silence fell over the elite mechanical training facility. Every perfectly polished student turned to stare at me—the charity case from the slums. But Carlos Santiago didn't just stare. His sharp, assessing gaze landed on me like a physical weight. "And who are you to correct me?" he demanded, stepping closer until the scent of expensive cologne and burning rubber surrounded me.

I didn't back down. I knew engines better than I knew people. "I wasn't correcting you. I was fixing the problem," I shot back. He was perfect—ash brown hair, thick lashes, and a jawline that belonged on a billboard. But he was also completely wrong about the calibration. I reached past him, my knuckles brushing his pristine racing suit, and adjusted the valve. The engine instantly purred to life. Flawless.

His eyes darkened. He hated losing control. He stepped into my space, trapping me against the workstation. "You've got good instincts," he murmured, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "But instincts don't win races." Before I could push him away, someone bumped into him from behind. He stumbled forward, and suddenly, his lips crashed hard against mine. My mind went completely blank. It was an accident. It had to be. But when he pulled back, his eyes weren't steady, and his breathing was ragged. "Stay out of my way," he warned.

But the way he looked at my lips? It didn't feel like a warning at all. It felt like a promise.
