Thea Ridgeway tells everyone she outgrew curling. She hasn't told anyone that she still lets herself into the rink at midnight, running drills alone under half the lights, because admitting the dream is still alive feels worse than losing it did.

He isn't slumming. He isn't rebuilding. He came looking for her on purpose, carrying a debt from a call made years ago that decided whose career survived and whose didn't- hers.

Enjoy "The Last Frontier" and thankyou for your love and support!

Enzo Aurelion has spent six years certain the gods are a lie. He's right. They're worse. They're an alien vanguard — and the only weapon that can stop them is quietly deleting the man capable of wielding it.

In a kingdom where magic is forbidden and power is seized through fear, the name Shadowborn was meant to be erased from history.
Kratos has spent his life surviving: abandoned, hunted by questions, and haunted by a past he cannot remember. But when whispers of rebellion ignite across Calanthor and a ruthless ruler tightens his grip on the throne, fate begins to stir in his veins.
A power long buried awakens.

Marked by shadows and bound to a bloodline thought extinct, Kratos is thrust into a war he never chose—one that will decide the fate of kingdoms and uncover the truth about who he really is.
But power comes at a cost.

As enemies close in and allies become uncertain, Kratos must decide:
will he rise as the sacrificial heir that destiny demands or become the darkness the world fears?
Because some legacies are not inherited.
They are unleashed.

Lois Luther has spent years chasing one dream, and that was earning a place on the national team. But when her twin brother, Landon, dies in a suspicious crash after the biggest championship of his life, everything changes.
The school calls it an accident. Lois knows better.
Determined to uncover what really happened, she enrolls at Landon’s university, where she continues training for her own athletic future while secretly investigating his death. Her only unexpected ally is Adrian Blake, a brilliant and arrogant student known as the “Young Sherlock Holmes.”
As Lois and Adrian follow a trail of hidden secrets, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches far deeper than they imagined. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their investigation becomes—and somewhere between late-night investigations, growing trust, and impossible choices, Lois begins falling for the one person she never expected to need.
But exposing Landon’s killer could cost Lois everything.
Including the future she has fought so hard to build.

On the eve of his wedding, General Landon Hayes receives a call he will never forget.
Hours later, his closest friend is found dead inside a locked room.
His eyes have been carved out.
His final expression is frozen in terror.
There are no signs of forced entry, no fingerprints, no witnesses, and no explanation for how the killer entered or escaped.
Only two clues remain behind.
The first is that Landon was the last person his friend contacted before he died.
The second is a strange symbol carved into the wall—a symbol that belongs to the feared Varyn bloodline, a family long believed to be buried by history.
Refusing to accept the official story of suicide, Landon abandons the battlefield and returns home to uncover the truth. What begins as an investigation soon reveals a web of lies, betrayal, hidden identities, and secrets powerful enough to shake the nation's most influential families.
As more bodies appear and old enemies emerge from the shadows, Landon realizes that his friend's death was only the beginning.
Someone is hunting for something.
Someone is erasing the truth.
And the deeper he digs, the more impossible the mystery becomes.
Because every clue points toward a terrifying possibility:
The monster responsible may not be a stranger.
It may be someone who shares his blood.
To expose the truth, Landon must fight a war unlike any he has ever faced—a war without armies, without rank, and without knowing whether the enemy he seeks is wearing his own face.

“This contains herbs commonly used by witches to tamper with bonds—to forge or conceal them.”

“Lies!” my voice cracked. “It’s just an aphrodisiac! Luna Lisa gave it to me!”

The crowd roared with laughter, the sound cruel and mocking.

Liam’s gaze bore into me, his disappointment cutting deeper than any blade. “So now you’re blaming the Mother Luna?”

I shook my head frantically, tears streaming down my face. “No! She gave them to help me. Please, call her. She’ll explain!”

“Enough!” Liam’s voice boomed, silencing the room.

“I almost made the mistake of crowning someone as ungrateful and spiteful as you my Luna.”

I watched as he moved closer to the girl, the imposter, his attitude becoming gentler as he assisted her in standing up.

“I apologize for all that you’ve suffered,” he said, his tone soothing. "I promise, I will get revenge for you."

She nodded, tears streaming down her face. “Start by rejecting her,” she said, her voice trembling but resolute. "Comsider it done."

"Please, Liam, don't do this." I pleaded as he turned back to me, his expression hardening once more.

“I, Alpha Liam, Alpha of the Lycan pack, reject you, Nina Hawthorne, as my mate and Luna.”

Agony pierced me, burning and relentless. I fell to my knees, holding my chest as tears shook my body.

Liam didn’t look at me as he placed a crown on the imposter, finishing it with a kiss.

The sight burned into me, each second carving a deeper wound in my soul.

As the crowd cheered, I made a vow, silent and cold.

I will make her pay.

The story, 'The Last Omega" centers around the theme of love, deception, hatred, redemption etc. Although it seemed like something impossible to happen, the cruel and wild alpha, Conall, an an omega filled with so much hate, Carina, fall in love with each other and get married despite their love being forbidden.

Astrid has a seemingly perfect life as a high school girl, but when her good friend Jason introduces her to his brother Killian, she is immediately attracted by Killian's danger and charm. She is obsessed with him until she finds out that Killian and Jason are both powerful werewolves. What's more terrifying is that she is a combination of a werewolf, a vampire and a witch, and the last powerful Trisolarian on earth.
Two powerful Alpha brothers claim to be her mate and want to mate with her. She is drawn into a world full of dangerous prophecies and wars, and she completely collapses...

In the Werewolf Republic of Eron, Lyrianne Swanson is marked for death.

She’s a halfblood.

For years, her kind has been hunted to near extinction out of fear that their nature could destroy full-blooded werewolves. But something about Lyrianne makes her stand out from the other halfbloods: She displays a wolf nature more powerful than any halfblood before her. For that reason, her life is spared and as is customary, she is supposed to attend Crescent Hollow Academy, a place where young wolves discover their true selves.

At the academy, Lyrianne becomes a target for scorn and unimaginable cruelty. The worst betrayal comes from Finn Zicco, a man who was once her best friend and the boy she had loved her whole life, who now treats her like the outcast everyone says she is. The only person who sees beyond her halfblood label is Lorcan Delacourt, Eron’s future Alpha Leader. A man bound by duty to another who should despise everything Lyrianne represents.

Forced to stand alone, Lyrianne starts uncovering truths about herself that shatter everything she once believed. Her bloodline holds secrets. Her power runs deeper than anyone could have ever imagined. And when an ancient, evil threat emerges that could destroy both humans and werewolves, the girl everyone wanted dead becomes the only one who can save them all.

They called him weak.
They called him broken.
They called him the last Omega.

For eighteen years, Vincent Blackwood lived as an outcast in the Silverfang Pack, wolf-less while everyone around him awakened, ranked up, and rose in power.

An embarrassment.
A failure.
A mistake the pack tolerated… until they no longer had to.

Then came the Moon Ceremony.

The night his mate was revealed.

The future Alpha rejected him in front of the entire pack.

Humiliated.
Exiled.
Thrown into the Shadowlands, where even rogues don’t survive.

But the Silverfang Pack made one mistake.

They thought Vincent was powerless.

They thought “Omega” meant weak.

They were wrong.

The Omega bloodline was never gone, it was buried.

And Vincent is its final heir.

Deep within the ruins of a forgotten era, something ancient awakens inside him: a power older than Alphas, stronger than kings, and capable of rewriting the laws of the werewolf world itself.

As outcasts, rogues, and broken wolves begin to rally around him, Vincent realizes a terrifying truth:

Power isn’t measured by who fears you.
It’s measured by who refuses to leave your side.

Now the rejected boy must build something new:

A pack for the forgotten.
A kingdom for the cast aside.
An empire strong enough to challenge the continent.

But enemies are already moving.

The Alpha who rejected him wants him erased.
The Moon Council demands his bloodline be wiped out again.
And something ancient in the dark has already sensed the Omega’s return.

As war brews and buried truths surface, Vincent must choose:

Revenge…
Or revolution.

Because the age of Alphas is ending.

And the Last Omega is rising!

Three days before my wedding, my fiancé's first love returned to New York.

My fiancé, Don Damian Rossetti, was one of the most powerful Mafia bosses on the East Coast.

His mother, Daisy, the former Donna, held my hand and promised, "You're the only woman I'll ever recognize as my son's Donna."

My brother Sebastian swore he'd make Damian pay if he ever hurt me.

Even my best friend Natalie assured me, "You've been together for eight years. No woman could ever come between you."

I believed them.

Until my wedding day.

Sitting in the bridal car, I noticed a message lighting up Natalie's spare phone.

[Operation Bride Swap: SUCCESS! Our favorite couple finally got their wedding!]

My blood ran cold.

I opened the group chat.

Videos showed Damian exchanging vows, kissing his first love, Sabrina Morelli, and carrying her into the bridal suite.

Then I saw his message.

[I owe Sabrina a wedding. She's dying. It's her last wish.]

[Nina will still become my Donna tomorrow. If she finds out, tell her there was a Family emergency. She'll forgive me.]

Daisy: [I'll cover for you.]

Sebastian: [Nina's easy to handle.]

Natalie: [Damian and Sabrina belong together!]

Everyone knew.

The Don I had loved for eight years was marrying another woman on our wedding day.

And the people I considered family had helped him make a fool of me.

I was supposed to become his Donna.

Instead, I was the only person who hadn't been invited to my own humiliation.

Did Dante really think he could humiliate me like this and get away with it?

On our wedding day, I would give him a gift he'd regret for the rest of his life.

Italy’s most feared mafia boss.
A monster whispered about in the underworld.

In our marriage bed, he whispered her name, not mine. When his true love—my sister—fell gravely ill, he didn't hesitate. He forced me onto the operating table and took my kidney to save her life.

When Dad told me he’d be away for a few days, I thought I’d finally get the freedom I’d always wanted.

Every single day was a nightmare with him around, always bringing loan sharks to mess everything up. Finally, he was leaving! I thought I’d be free.

But that was before he showed up, took me hostage, and declared me his exclusive bride. I’d heard about him before—everyone knew him as a public figure and a notorious Mafia boss.

Nicola DeSanto. That’s his name.

I felt my life crumble when I found out Dad had stolen something from him and even killed his fiancée. Cassandra, you’re in deep trouble now. I have to do whatever it takes to become his favorite.

Read on to find out.

I used to think the most embarrassing moment of my life was when my neighbor called the cops on me for testing "special" game sound effects.
That was before the door opened to reveal a devastatingly handsome police officer who accused me of hiding someone in my apartment—and casually informed me he was my husband of three months. A husband I'd never actually met.
The worst part? He had proof.
Now this impossibly attractive stranger isn't just forcing his way into my life—he's become the unwitting inspiration for my new game's male lead.

The husband my family had picked for me barely spoke and never cracked a smile.

So I decided to mess with him.

I pinched his butt, nipped his Adam’s apple, and ran my hands over his chest.

Grant Whitmore’s ears went red with outrage. His face stayed as cool and proper as ever.

Until one night, when I came home from partying.

He spotted the hickey on my neck, and his eyes went red. “Who did that?”

“You understand that married people aren’t supposed to cheat, don’t you?”

“I know what happened. Some little slut out there threw themselves at you.”

“You’re young. You don’t know any better. I don’t blame you.”

A second later, he was threatening to hang himself from a ceiling beam. “Tell me who that little slut is, or I’ll kill myself right in front of you!”

Excuse me?

Dumped by her groom publicly, Luna married his uncle—Theodore, a business tycoon.
Hatred? Revenge? Or his long-planning?

Wedding night, he handed over a contract. “Nice doing business with you, my wife.”
When her down-and-out ex begged for a second chance? Luna smirked, swirling wine. “I'm Luna Carter, your new aunt—and the new owner of the Davis's enterprise.”

"I need a husband in three days, or I lose everything."

After numerous failed matchmaking attempts, my mother threatened to cancel the trust fund my father had left me. Three days before my twenty-eighth birthday, I went to a charity event,

Desperate and drunk on champagne, I walked up to the most intimidating man at the charity gala. He was cold, arrogant, and looked at me like I was a piece of meat. I didn't care. I handed him my business card, my hand trembling.

He didn't take it. Instead, he followed me to the balcony. "You didn't come here for business, Talia," he whispered, his voice dark and seductive. "You came here to be taken."

Before the night was over, I was in his bed. Naked, satisfied, and sleepy. I told him I wanted to marry him. He said yes and agreed to marry me immediately. I fell asleep without realizing that I had just proposed to the most powerful banker in New York City.

I should have run. I didn't know he was Alexander Cielo Morgan, the most ruthless banker in New York. I didn't know that one night with him would cost me my freedom forever. But it was too late for me to back out. I was trapped in a marriage with him. And I found that losing a hundred million dollars in trust funds was far better than giving my life to Alexander Cielo.

"I want an open marriage."
"The fuck are you saying?"
"You didn't know what you signed up for? Oops. Welcome to Hell, Husband."
I've hated Hayden Wolfe since high school.
He made my life hell.
So when I'm suddenly thrown into an arranged marriage with the man I swore I'd never forgive, I'm convinced my life can't get any worse.
He needs a wife to secure his position in his family's billion-dollar empire.
I need my father's company to survive.
Neither of us had a choice.
Now we're the perfect couple in public and sworn enemies behind closed doors.
And my new goal?
Make Hayden Wolfe regret marrying me.
What starts as screaming matches and revenge games soon explodes into hate-filled kisses, dangerous attraction, and a connection I can't seem to escape.
The more I try to destroy him, the more I realize Hayden may have been waiting for my revenge all along.
Then, when I finally demand a divorce, the arrogant billionaire I once knew drops to his knees.
"Ninety days," he says. "If you still want the divorce after that, I'll sign. No fight. No games. I'll let you go."
Do I still hate him with every fiber of my being? Or am I already hopelessly, shamefully addicted to the man I promised to destroy?

When Victoria lay on the operating table, willing to sacrifice her health for her fiancé Ethan, she received a photo of him passionately kissing her stepsister. Heartbroken and done being the submissive girlfriend, Victoria dumps the cheating scumbag and goes on a blind date to secure her mother’s inheritance.

When Ethan tries to humiliate her, thinking she's still the pathetic girl who loves him, he’s horrified to find her in the arms of the man he fears most.

"Uncle William?" Ethan trembles.

William pulls Victoria close, his eyes lethal. "Watch your tone, Ethan. Call her Aunt Victoria."

"Aren't you afraid to die?" It's a bit odd, but it is what it is.

Paula Mayer, the woman was asked to marry a man with a million secrets. Many people say that Mark Aliston has never been lucky in life.

He wanted vengeance. What he got… was her.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, I kicked open the door of the VIP suite to catch my husband in the act.

Vincent Castellano, the Don of our mafia family, was lounging on the sofa with a new girl, lazily lighting a cigar.

"You're five years older than me, Victoria," he said, blowing smoke toward the ceiling. "You should know when a man is done with you. Aren't you tired of playing the warden?"

The girl in his arms, Bianca, giggled. "Give it a rest, lady. Men like them young. You're just in the way."

The room roared with laughter.

I smiled, too.

For five years, I had waded through blood to put Vincent on the throne. I ran his rackets and buried his bodies, only for him to treat the empire like a toy. Every time I dragged him out of the gutter, his excuse was the same: I'm young. I haven't had my fun yet.

Everyone thought I was obsessed with him, a pathetic wife tolerating every insult. They were wrong.

I never loved Vincent. I only tolerated him because he had his brother's face—Dominic's face. My dead fiancé. The only man who ever truly mattered.

I had spent five years living in a hallucination.

Now, the dream was over.

The loose string of my dress fell from my shoulders as he continue to roam his fingertips on my body.

I faced him and looked into his eyes, his eyes are malicious and his lips are moist, calling for me to kiss them.

Instead of doing what was inside my head, I slowly knelt in front of him, and slid my fingers from his chest down to his pelvis, without even breaking our sight.

He did not move, I smirked looking up at him. The perfect shape of his jaw is more visible because of the kneeling.

"Erato, I'm down on my knees," I uttered under my breath.

He breathed sexually and grabbed a handful of my hair and did the honor to remove his belt.

It feels like demons have come up to heaven to save me because I don't belong there. It was sinful. But this...

This is the guilt that will save you. 

Even before life removed Jade Fuentabella from innocence, she's been head over heels with Erato Asterial, the third child and the successor of Asterial Empire, known for his bad boy and womanizer reputation. Jade lived her life trying to win his heart, but things got more interesting because of Erato's wickedness.

Could she handle all of it? Or could he?

The night they came for my sister, I cut my own palm and offered the Devil a better bride.

I did it in front of the whole city. I thought I was just a substitute, a disposable girl thrown into the fog to save the sister I loved. But when the Devil appeared—tall, dressed in black that drank the light, with eyes like pale, cold coins—everything changed.

He didn't kill me. He reached out and closed his freezing hand around my bleeding wrist. That was when he saw it. The old silver mark I had carried since birth, hidden under my skin. The moment his thumb pressed against it, the mark woke, blooming with blinding silver light. His stillness wasn't that of a monster choosing his next meal. It was the shock of a man who had just found the one thing he prayed never to see.

"You are not the one they chose," he said, his voice carrying into every frozen corner of the square. The cold rushed out of the air. He turned my hand toward the dying light, his face cracking open to reveal something far worse than cruelty.

"You were never meant to be mine," he whispered softly, his grip tightening like a vise. "And now I cannot give you back."
