They were lying in bed, completely naked and in an intimate embrace. I could feel my heart thumping out of my chest as I tried to process what I was seeing.

His face was red, and he was breathing heavily. He seemed to be trying to compose himself, but he couldn't quite manage it. He stammered as he tried to find the right words, but it was too late. I had already seen enough. But after a few seconds, he spoke, and I was shocked by what I heard from him.

"I know you've been fooling around with that man. I'm tired of your lies and betrayals. I can't trust you anymore, that's why!" he answered with a cold voice. "I'll put you in prison for this!"

I could feel my heart shatter at that moment. Is he gaslighting me?

Angry, Mellow sought to make Zeath restless by kidnapping the mistress. However, that resulted in a tragedy that nearly claimed her life and that of the child growing inside her—a child Zeath didn’t deserve.

“Do you know how much I wished you wouldn’t come near me, or even... touch me?” Zeath drones on. “All those cuddles and kisses, all the affection, made my skin crawl—like a troll embracing its victim before gobbling them. One can only imagine how much it stinks. You are no different from that troll. You merely caught my attention because you were a self-absorbed twonk, and we needed to test if you even had the heart to love another.”
“We?” I croak out.
Then Zeath’s fingers trail gently along my face, his eyes glinting with pure poison, and his voice is no better.
“Poor Mellow, it is all a dare, a gratifying one. Divorce or not, it’s your choice.”

“Tell me you want this,” he murmurs, pressing his hardened cock against my pulsing center,
“Tell me you crave me Aria,” his lips brushes my ears.
“Tell me you want me to fuck you till the entire of Olympus hear you moan my name.” he nibbles on my ear.
I bite back a gasp, because yes, I want him. I want him in ways I shouldn't, in ways that terrify me.

A little girl, with pigtails bouncing as she jumps up and down, chimes in. "Yeah, please! And you were so brave, Big Sister - in - Law. I want to be just like you when I grow up!"

Even the older ones, who usually try to act all cool and aloof, can't hide their respect.

The eldest brother nods at me, a rare smile on his face. "You've changed this family, you know. We all look up to you now."

Who would have thought that a forced marriage could lead to a life so full of warmth, so overflowing with the kind of acceptance and adoration I'd only ever dreamed of?

Cole made it clear he never wants children. If he finds out about the baby, Yasmin knows exactly what he’ll demand. Yet for the first time in years, she feels something stirring inside her that’s stronger than fear—a fierce, desperate love for the tiny life growing within her.

Now she faces an impossible choice: stay silent and risk everything when her secret shows, or find the courage to run from the only life she’s known.

In Cole’s world, defiance comes with a price. But some things are worth fighting for, even if it means losing everything else.

Can Yasmin break free before it’s too late, or will her secret become the final chain that binds her forever?

Seven years ago, Cassian Aldren was erased from his family, stripped of power, and buried under a scandal useful to everyone except the truth.

Now he returns to Black Harbor in the rain, carrying one duffel and a command identity the city was never meant to hear again: Black Meridian.

Evelyn Vale is fighting a different war. Her logistics company is being choked by board betrayal, dock seizures, forged negligence claims, and attacks on medical supply routes. She needs proof, leverage, and someone dangerous enough to make armed men step back.

Cassian needs a battlefield.

Their first stand at Pier Nine exposes more than corporate sabotage. Behind Dockside pressure sits Red Ledger, a network that buys obedience through records, custody claims, and old family sins. Behind Red Ledger waits Crown Glass, an archive built to turn names into control. Beneath Black Harbor, hidden routes still move witnesses, children, soldiers, and inconvenient heirs like freight.

Every victory costs Cassian blood. Every record Evelyn opens puts another target on her back. Their enemies have money, courts, private armies, and a history old enough to call cruelty tradition.

But Black Meridian was not built to bow to old power.

As workers, old soldiers, witnesses, and discarded heirs begin choosing sides, Cassian and Evelyn push the city toward one final rule:

No one is cargo.

Four years ago, James Rockefeller was expelled from his home by a wealthy family and traveled to the battlefield with humiliation.
Four years later, he had become the feared "Grim Reaper" of the Western underground world, but chose to retire at the time of his success, only to return to Houston and find his long owing wife Sofia.
But he didn't expect that his wife, who gave birth to her daughter Sophie alone, would suffer from the cold eyes and bullying of the Wilson family over the years.
His mother-in-law wanted to force his wife to marry a wealthy young master, but his relatives humiliated him as useless. His daughter was called a bastard, and his wife and daughter were even forced into the conspiracy of the mysterious underground organization "Hades".
In order to protect his beloved, James chose to hide his true identity and endure misunderstandings, but when his wife and daughter were in danger, he made a thunderous move.
This time, the retired Grim Reaper no longer fights for the empire, but only holds up a sky that no one dares to invade for his wife and daughter.

Rejected. Broken. Left behind.
Zoe Berry was once the unwanted girl of Blue Mountain Pack—mocked, betrayed, and rejected by her fated mate, Alpha Zack. With nothing left to hold onto, she disappears… only to rise again in a new pack as someone stronger, deadlier, and no longer willing to be overlooked.

But fate isn’t done with her.

Forced to return to the place that destroyed her, Zoe comes face-to-face with the mate who now wants her back. This time, however, she’s not the same girl he rejected—she’s a powerful enforcer… and something far more dangerous: the legendary White Wolf.

As old wounds reopen and passion reignites, a dark enemy begins to stir—one that knows Zoe’s past, her power, and the secrets erased from her memory.

Now, Zoe must choose: protect her heart… or embrace a destiny that could change the entire wolven world forever.

“I do not obey your orders. You are not my Alpha. You are a murderer. I reject you, Alpha King Zander Blake, as my mate and Alpha," I spat out, my words dripping with defiance and finality.

"I was mistaken. You never changed. You have no heart. I cannot continue to live alongside you. I despise you. So, accept my rejection and release me from this unwanted bond," I cried, my words punctuated by tears that betrayed my resolve.

"People warned me not to choose a wolfless, weak woman from the weakest pack in the world as my mate and Luna Queen. Yet, I disregarded their counsel. I bestowed upon you the title of Luna Queen and offered you everything you never deserved. But you have failed to fulfill your duties as both a Queen and my mate. You are disrespectful, disobedient, and unworthy of being the Luna Queen to the largest and strongest pack in the world. I accept your rejection, Selena Ardolf. I, Alpha King Zander Blake, reject you, Selena Ardolf, as my mate and my Queen," he bit out with disgust.

Selena was betrayed by her mate, the Alpha King Zander Blake. He killed her family and pack and rejected her, leaving her to endure the pain. Selena ran away from her cruel ex-alpha mate to save her unborn son. Now, she has returned to serve justice. Her path is not easy, as she must face many challenges. However, she is determined to uncover the truth. The only thing threatening her determination is that her ex-mate seems obsessed, and he won't pass up a second chance to remind her of the forgotten chemistry between them. How will they become entangled in their rejected relationship the second time around?

In that moment of revelation, my heart felt scalded with betrayal and despair. Fate’s cruel twist forced me to confront my past choices and the agony of a fragmented family, plunging me into a tumultuous battle for love, acceptance, and the chance to reclaim what I thought I had lost forever.
