4432 Book(s) Related to my mate chose my best friend so his uncle claimed me

Coralyn Calder has never had the luxury of slowing down.
Between crushing responsibility and a mother she’s spent years saving from herself, survival has always come before desire.
This Christmas, she chooses herself—for once.
A sponsored escape to a lavish French resort promises distance from her past, silence from her guilt, and a brief illusion of peace. But fate has other plans. A ruined dress, a missed reservation, and a raging snowstorm leave her stranded… and sharing a suite with Orion Merrick.
He’s dangerous in a way Coralyn isn’t prepared for—quiet, controlled, devastatingly handsome. A single father with a guarded heart, a watchful gaze, and a presence that strips her bare without a single touch.
What begins as forced proximity turns intimate fast. Stolen moments. Lingering looks. His sharp-tongued daughter playing matchmaker. Nights that blur boundaries and make promises neither of them should want.
Then her past arrives uninvited.
Kade—her obsessive ex—appears at the resort, dragging secrets, violence, and unfinished business behind him. When Coralyn’s mother dies under suspicious circumstances, buried truths rise to the surface, and the holiday fantasy shatters into something lethal.
Because this isn’t just about love anymore.
It’s about survival.
And some Christmas miracles don’t come wrapped in ribbon—
they come wrapped in blood.
Will Coralyn live long enough to claim hers?

Clara Sebastian, a stunning omega, never could have predicted the immense upheaval her life would undergo after a group of Rogues mistakenly identified her as someone else. It was undeniable that she bore an uncanny resemblance to Savannah Ferocity, the daughter of the powerful Lycan king.

This twist of fate led her to cross paths with Henrick Silvestre, the Alpha of the formidable Bloody Dark Pack. Henrick was notorious for his womanizing ways, his arrogance, and his cold-hearted demeanor. He had been scorned and humiliated by Savannah herself, leaving him bitter and resentful.

Clara's mission, against all odds, was to win over Henrick's heart and soften his hardened soul. But how could she possibly achieve such a feat when he despised her with every fiber of his being? Would she endure the pain he inflicted upon her in the hopes of breaking through his defenses?

As time went on, Clara discovered that she was destined to be Henrick's mate. However, as the truth about their intertwined past gradually came to light, she faced a difficult decision. Would she still choose to be his mate, knowing the secrets that lay buried in their history? Or would she become his second mate, rejecting him just as he had been rejected before?

Dante is a man of power, wealth, and secrets darker than the night. A ruthless vampire billionaire with a past drenched in blood, he rules his empire with an iron grip—untouchable, unstoppable… until her.
Ava never expected her life to change with a single job interview. Walking into Blackthorne Enterprises, she thought she was applying to be an assistant, not signing herself away to a man who devours control like oxygen.

Dante is cold, calculated, and dangerously seductive. His touch is forbidden, his world deadly. Yet when he looks at her, there’s something lurking beneath his perfect control—hunger. Need. Possession.
She should run. But the moment he claims her, she knows escape is impossible.
Now, she’s trapped in a world of wealth and obsession, temptation and sin. A world where pleasure and pain blend seamlessly, and love comes with a deadly price.

Because Dante is no ordinary man. He’s a monster in a tailored suit.
And Ava? She’s the one thing he can never let go.
But when desire turns into something deeper, something primal, one question remains—will she survive his darkness, or will she drown in it? (R18+)

By day, Zariah Nightborne rules empires with a pen and a glare.
By blood, she belongs to the darkest Mafia pack ever forged in war and betrayal.
She was raised as a human. Lied to. Hidden.
Until one brutal betrayal awakens the beast she was never meant to become.

Now, the billionaire heiress is hunted—not for what she’s done, but for what she is:
The last living heir of the Luna Code.
The key to controlling all wolves.
The queen no Alpha can claim.

Bound to two Mafia heirs—one who lied to protect her, the other who marked her for war—Zariah must choose:
Reclaim her savage bloodline, or let the world burn trying to break her.

But she wasn’t born to be a mate.
She was born to be a myth.

And every kingdom that called her weak will fall to their knees when the real Luna rises.

Running for my life, I tumble straight into a hidden underground palace of nightmares.

The Bride-Selection slaughter is underway—no girl has survived in ten years. Bodies torn apart, blood everywhere.

Then the monstrous black dragon lowers its massive head… and gently nuzzles my palm like a lovesick puppy.

The man on the throne stares down with violet eyes.

"You don't get to run anymore. You're my queen now."

That same night he rips away every scrap of silk, pins me to the freezing dragon-sized bed, and shoves his thick, burning cock so deep I scream until my voice breaks.

"Try escaping again," he growls against my ear, hips slamming into me without mercy, "and I'll chain you to this bed and fuck you until you can't even crawl."

This terrifyingly beautiful monster—what deadly secrets is he hiding?

And me, the runaway bride his dragon picked… will I ever break free from his cage?

I tricked my billionaire husband into signing divorce papers—he had no idea.

"Exam documents," I lied.

His ex-wife laughed. "Boring paperwork. Don't bother reading it."

He signed without even looking.

Three years of marriage. I thought he'd learn to love me. Ever since she came back, my dinners grew cold while I reheated them alone. I waited in our bed, night after night. I watched him drop everything and run to her with every phone call.

Then I found out I was pregnant.

That same day, I saw him at the hospital—holding her hand, asking about her baby.

I finally stopped waiting.

I left the estate at dawn. Left behind the jewelry, the designer clothes, the empty promises.

Then he showed up at my door.

"I know about the baby," his voice was raw. "I know about the accident. I know everything."

He looked at me like I was his entire world.

Three years too late? Or just in time?

Born into the most powerful mafia family in the city, I've had seven bodyguards since I was ten years old.

Seven heirs from allied families. Seven men trained to protect me. Seven potential husbands.

On my eighteenth birthday, I had to pick one and marry him.

Everyone knew I'd choose Dante Lucchese. How could I not? I'd been stupidly in love with that arrogant bastard since I was seven.

But I'll never choose him again.

Because I've already lived through what happens when I do.

The wedding. The explosion. Flames devouring my dress as I clawed at Dante's sleeve, begging him to help me.

He ripped his arm away.

And ran straight to Isabella—the pathetic little charity case my family took in, who always played the victim so perfectly.

"Serena, stop being selfish!" he shouted over the roar of the fire. "Isabella's hurt worse than you! I have to save her first!"

I screamed his name as he disappeared into the smoke with her in his arms.

The last thing I heard was Isabella crying. The last thing I felt was my skin burning.

Then—nothing.

Until I opened my eyes and found myself staring at the calendar on my bedroom wall.

Six months before the wedding.

The morning my father called me into his study to tell me it was time to choose.

This time, I crossed Dante's name off the list first.

This time, I chose Enzo Corleone—the quiet one who never said much, who everyone underestimated.

The one who died trying to pull me out of that fire.

So why the hell is Dante on his knees at my wedding to Enzo, tears streaming down his face, begging me to marry him instead?

My six-month business trip to Europe was finally over. I decided to surprise my husband Nathaniel by coming home early without telling him, bringing my six-year-old son Lucas straight to his newly opened upscale restaurant.

Lucas excitedly ran toward the children's play area while I scanned the restaurant for Nathaniel, eagerly anticipating our reunion.

Suddenly, a scream shattered the peaceful atmosphere.

I turned to see a woman in work uniform roughly shoving my son, snarling viciously:

"What the hell are you RUNNING around for, you little brat! Can't you watch where you're going?"

I froze. How DARE this woman treat my child like this in my husband's restaurant?

Do you want to touch it?"

Princess Katrinetta gasped and nodded, her hand reaching out to stroke him.

He shifted on top of her, coming up onto his elbows so that she was straddled beneath him. His hips were wide, and the powerful muscles beneath her hands had her yearning for him more than ever. She rocked her lower body up in an attempt to meet him, never dreaming her fist time would be like this!


Why choose just one man when she can have them all?

Cassius is strong and bold.
Jate is passionate and loyal.
Reeve is mysterious and brave.
And then there's Eliason... the man she's loved since she was a young teen.
How can she pick just one?

Princess Katrinetta will be queen of Yewforia one day. At the age of 21, embarks upon her Choosing, a time when Representatives from every realm will travel to Castle Wrenbrook to prove to the princess they are worthy of her love. But as Kit gets to know the men, she realizes it will be impossible for her to only choose one of them to rule Yewforia with her.

When she discovers that her mother, Queen Rona, isn't just cruel to her, she's mistreating the citizens of the land, Kit and her men work together to stop her mother and her sinister plan.

Full of steamy bedroom scenes, Realm of the Chosen: A Reverse Harem Romance, is for mature readers.

Abandoned in the forest as a baby and raised by the Dark Light Pack, Elara grows up invisible. Overlooked. Maltreated. Treated like she was never meant to exist.

Until the mate bond awakens.

Bound to the Alpha, she expects a new beginning. Instead, she is rejected. Broken. Put through cruelty and torture that nearly destroys her.

But instead of breaking... she snaps.

In a moment that should have been impossible, Elara takes control of the mate bond and shatters it.

And then she runs.

What she doesn't know is that her breaking point was only the beginning.

Because Elara is not just a wolf.

She is something far older. A rebirth. A power that once walked the world three thousand years ago... and vanished after sealing away a force that threatened to destroy everything.

Now, that power is rising again.

As her abilities awaken and memories begin to surface, Elara is drawn to a truth she cannot escape and a man she cannot ignore.

Beros.

Powerful. Mysterious. And bound to her in a way she cannot understand.

Their connection is deeper than fate. Older than time. A love that has waited centuries for her return... and refuses to let her go again.

But just as she begins to step into her true strength, the past she tried to leave behind comes crawling back.

The Alpha who rejected her now wants her.

Desperate. Obsessed. Determined to have her back at all costs.

Now caught between a love that once broke her, a love that has endured lifetimes, and a power that could change the fate of the world, Elara must rise into who she truly is.

Because the same darkness she once destroyed is rising again.

And this time...

It knows she's back.

On the eve of the World Championship, my head coach's wife drugged me.
She personally destroyed my throwing arm and gave my starting jersey to her new substitute lover.
Even to "maintain the body" for that cheater, she disregarded my life and forcibly drained 1200 ml of my rare blood type.
She confidently declared, "In less than three days, he'll be crawling back to me like a dog."
I didn't make a scene; I calmly signed the divorce papers and dialed the number of that billionaire heiress.
Later, her cheating lover was disgraced and kicked out of the team.
She traveled halfway around the world, knelt at my wedding, and plunged a knife into her chest, begging me to come back.
I just coldly watched the security guards drag her away:
"Hurry up, don't dirty my wife's estate."

He rejected her under the Bloodmoon.
Now she’s the one rewriting the rules of every bond.

Seraphine Vale was never meant to matter.

An omega. A healer. Disposable.

So when the Bloodmoon ceremony bound her to Alpha Cael Ashford—
and he rejected her in front of the entire pack—
it should have been the end.

Instead, it was the beginning.

Left broken and cast out, Seraphine survives six months in exile…
only to discover the truth buried beneath her skin:

The silver marks on her arms aren’t a curse.

They’re power.

A power no wolf has seen in centuries.
A power that can break bonds… or control them.

Now the Alpha who discarded her is dying from the backlash of their severed mate link—
and he wants her back.

But Seraphine is no longer the girl he rejected.

She is immune to his commands.
Untouchable. Uncontrolled.

And when she uncovers the truth behind her mother’s murder
and a secret order manipulating every pack from the shadows—

She realizes one thing:

She was never meant to survive.
She was meant to be controlled.

Now?

She’s the one in control.

And this time,
she decides who bows.

She was spoiled and the only daughter of Italy’s most feared Mafia empire. But I was never supposed to fall for the one man paid to protect me.
Luca Bianchi. My father's most trusted bodyguard. A man with secrets darker than his tailored suits and eyes that have haunted me since I was sixteen. When threats close in and betrayal strikes from inside our mansion, my parents send me away with the one man I swore I hated.
But this isn’t just about stolen glances and red lace. Because someone is hunting me.
And Luca might be the only one who can save me.
He’s the bodyguard. I’m the heiress.
And in this deadly game of bullets and betrayal…
I might just be the one who gets claimed.

"Turn on the livestream, let everyone see how wet and slutty my wife's pussy gets when she's ruined." My husband sneered, ruthlessly spreading my trembling legs on the tattoo bed.

I sobbed and thrashed, but his strong hands pinned my wrists. The buzzing needle pierced the sensitive flesh of my private area, vibrating against my clitoris as he forced a succubus mark onto me. I let out a sharp, pathetic moan, my body involuntarily slicking with a mix of blood and arousal under the agonizing pain.

By the time the needle carved the eighteenth humiliating word into my bare, heaving breasts, my mind was completely broken. He just wiped the blood from my nipples and left to fuck his pregnant mistress.

He thought I was just a toy. At his wedding banquet, he threw me to a pack of hungry men. "Do whatever you want with her holes. Even if it's a gangbang, I take no responsibility." Disgusting hands immediately groped my bare thighs, brutally ripping my dress apart to expose my tattooed chest. Rough fingers pinched my nipples and shoved into my dripping core, making me scream in despair.

But I didn't die there. I tanked his company and fell into the arms of his biggest rival.

When my ex-husband finally realized the mistress's baby wasn't his, he called me, sobbing and begging. I just pressed the phone to my ear, gasping loudly as Tristan's thick, hard cock thrust deep into my tight, wet pussy.

"Ah... fuck, Tristan, deeper..." I moaned shamelessly into the receiver, hearing my ex-husband's breathless silence on the other end. "Henry," I panted, riding my new lover hard, "Your empire is dead, and so are we."

"I, Alpha Miller, hereby reject you, Isla Higgins, as my mate and Luna of the Pembroke pack," he said with a smirk as his beta pinned me against the wall. My heart shattered into a thousand pieces, and I felt a physical ache in my body as pain penetrated through me.
“There is no competition here.” Mora, the girl who had made my life hell since childhood, wrapped herself around my fated mate, and he pulled her into his chest, kissing her with passion and lust. I glared at her in frustration and wished I could punch her fake image.

Isla must decide whether to give her ex-mate a second chance or realize her worth without him.

I died on my husband’s operating table—my heart cut out to save the woman he truly loved. Before that, he hung me from a tree, eight months pregnant, and watched me deliver alone. He fed my baby to her. Used my skin to patch hers. When I finally stopped breathing, he froze my body just to keep me near.

Then I woke up. Four years earlier. Lying next to him on the night our nightmare began.

His breath is hot with wine. His hand is already reaching.

This time, I grab the nearest ashtray, fill it with ice water, and throw it in his face. While he’s stunned, I drag him to the balcony.

He thinks I’m prey.

He’s about to learn what revenge looks like.

I knew it was too good to be true.'
'They made us seem like they had a perfect marriage.'
'She'll be stupid if she forgives him.'
'Poor Valerie. I can only imagine what she's going through right now.'
My mother snatched my phone from me. "I told you not to read those comments, Valerie."
I scoffed. "I already feel miserable. Those comments wouldn't make me feel any worse."
"Will you forgive him?" My mother asked. A part of me wanted to forgive him.
I still loved Patrick. But I couldn't move past such betrayal.

Valerie's desperate attempts to clear her name only led to a devastating revelation that made her give up on her marriage. Years later, fate brings them face to face.
Will they be able to forget, forgive, and rebuild, or will the wounds of betrayal prove too deep to heal?

"You should be scared," I whispered, brushing my fingertips along her spine, slow and teasing, then down over the swell of her ass. My palm lingered, gripping one cheek possessively. "Because you've just given yourself to the devil."

I leaned down, my lips brushing her ear.

“And the devil? He doesn’t believe in mercy."
....

I should have known better than to sign his contract.

My new husband was never meant to be real. He was supposed to be a name on paper, a shield against the vultures circling my late husband's empire. An arrangement with an expiration date.

But Killian Cross doesn't let go.

He's ruthless, obsessive, and dangerously possessive. The kind of man who doesn't just own his empire. He owns everything in his grasp. And now, that includes me.

I thought I could play his game and walk away unscathed.

I was wrong.

Because my contract husband has made one thing clear. I belong to him now.

But what happens when the shadows surrounding him become my prison? What if love isn’t enough for the hell awaiting us? Will I be able to save him when he needs me? Or will we both drown in the raging tempest?

Four years ago, I faked my death to escape my cruel husband, Aiden, and my evil sister. Now, I’ve returned as a powerful heiress, hiding my secret children.
I humiliated his mistress by making her pay millions for a painting I already owned, and when Aiden tried to corner me, I didn't beg—I slapped him.
But instead of anger, his eyes burned with obsession. He pinned me against the wall, whispering dangerously, "You can change your face, Keira, but you can't hide from me. Whose child is that?"
He thinks he still owns me? This time, I’m the one in control.

"You're trembling," he murmured, his thumb brushing slowly over her lips. "Is it fear... or is it me?"
Her pulse betrayed her before her voice ever could. He was too close. Too dangerous. And her body no longer knew which feeling came first, terror or desire.
Elena Castellano was never meant to become collateral in a war between families. But after a brutal attack turns her world upside down, her father makes an unthinkable decision to protect her. He binds her future to Stefano Bernardo, the ruthless heir of one of Milan's most feared dynasties.

Cold, calculating, and impossibly controlled, Stefano has waited years for the perfect moment to strike back at the Castellano name. Marrying Elena is part of the plan. Breaking her family is the goal.
Now trapped in a gilded cage of wealth and danger, Elena must navigate a marriage built on secrets, resentment, and a simmering tension neither of them can ignore. Stefano's vengeance runs deeper than she ever imagined, and every glance feels like a warning. Every touch feels like temptation.
But the greatest threat may not be his hatred or the enemies watching from the shadows.
It may be the way her heart responds to the very man determined to destroy everything she loves.
He married her to ruin her family. She was never supposed to make him question everything.
When revenge and desire collide in a world ruled by power and blood, can love survive the consequences?

“All this time,” Adriano’s voice was low, shaking with rage, “all this time I kissed you, made love to you, put my life on the line for you…” His eyes burned into hers. “You were fucking my brothers behind my back?!”

“Adriano, please I can explain. It's not what you think.”

“NOT WHAT I THINK?!” he roared, stepping closer, fists trembling. “You told me you love me!”

“I do,” Diamond sobbed.

His voice broke. “Then why?”

—

They are the princes of Il Serpente Dorato, the most powerful Italian Mafia. Adriano, Alessandro, and Gabriele.

Dangerous. Possessive. Obsessive.

Diamond was just a stripper when she first caught Adriano’s eye. A one-night distraction who became something much more. At first, she was tangled only in his sheets… until his older brothers wanted a taste of her.

And soon, she wasn’t just his. She was theirs

Now she belongs to all of them. Claimed and worshipped in ways that leave her breathless. The nights turned wild with sex, pleasure, and pain. The tension, the lies, the betrayal… unbearable. She wasn’t just a woman to them—she became an addiction, a possession they’d fight, bleed, and kill for.

Yet Diamond has a secret. One that could shatter everything. And if the Greco princes ever discover the truth, their obsession with her won’t just burn.

It might destroy her.

Welcome to a story of sin, obsession, betrayal, and forbidden desires. Where love and hate are only a heartbeat apart.

This one word Mate should bring hope, but for a shroud wolf like me, it feels more like a curse. I’m Gianna Greco, the illegitimate daughter of a great warrior, with a dormant wolf spirit. For me, love has always been a dangerous gamble.
I risked everything for Enzo Caruso, only to be rejected in front of the whole pack—crushed but alive. I found a new purpose in the mountains, training to fight and leading a resistance against Alpha King Matteo's tyranny.
But fate is cruel. Now, I’m back with the pack that abandoned me, forced into captivity under Alpha Stefano, a ruthless general. Despite the fear, I’m drawn to him, and I fear he might be my second chance mate.
One more rejection, though, might just destroy me.

Alexander Fitzpatrick, furniture designer, company director, single, is not looking for a girlfriend, but for hostesses to keep all women off his back.

Emily Saron, accountant, trainer, single, is not looking for a partner, but is looking forward to her future position as chief accountant at Fitzpatrick Designs.

Alexander gets a hostess who is not a hostess.

Emily becomes exactly that hostess he never wanted.

The fact that Oliver, as the mediator, can't keep his hands off Emily and that Dominik, as the owner of the castle, also wants to get into the erotic game makes the whole story really spicy.

"I guess I miss you so much now that I am seeing you even in my dreams,” she muttered as she smiled at him.

"I am here, I came back,” he said as he wiped away the tears that were running down her cheeks.

"Are you for real?” she asked this time gaining her awareness.

"Let me prove it to you,” he leaned in closer to her and let his lips grazes her in a slow kiss. He watched as she closed her eyes upon contact. They were soft to the point that they drove him crazy. He wanted her so bad and he was going to take her.

"I want to sleep with you,” he told her and she opened her eyes. He could see the shyness in the depth of her eyes, "if you are not ready then you can tell me.”

He didn’t want to force her too; it was her first time for everything and scaring her was something he wouldn’t be proud of.

"I want to do that,” she whispered and he took his hand and kissed her fingertips.

"Are you sure?” he asked her wanting to confirm again that it was what she wanted.

"I just hope I will not disappoint you. I have never done this,” she answered worry in her voice.

"Leave that to me,” he said as he looked at her.

All it took was a promise, a promise to help him and do everything in her power to assist him when he needed it.

A poor soul with not a single asset to her name; for the man she unconditionally fell in love with at first sight, she made a promise, a promise that landed her in a pit.

A pit that he painstakingly dug for her and a pit into which she willingly fell.

When tension turns to something dangerously real, will their spark ignite something beautiful… or burn them both to the ground?

I say, “Please... don’t give me any explanations. I truly love you. And I will never leave your side in this lifetime. I understand the value of love... and I promise I will honor this relationship with complete honesty. Just... accept me once.”

My lips brush against his chest. A strange warmth spreads through my body, straight into my soul.

He suddenly pushes me away forcefully. I stumble back, staring at him in disbelief. His face burns with anger.

He says, “Have you lost your mind? Have you forgotten what kind of deal exists between us?”

His words crash straight into my heart.

“Do you remember? You are my bride only for safety and money, the one who needed financial support. You are this billionaire's billion-dollar bride, nothing more. In our terms, you yourself said, no love, no intimacy, no emotions. Then where is all this suddenly coming from?”

He doesn’t stop, as if he wants to tear me apart completely.

“Have you forgotten that I'm engaged? Do you really think that just because you say this, I'll break my engagement?”

His voice turns even harsher, sharper than before.

“What exactly did you see in me that you fell in love in just a few days? My money? My position? Or is it your lust that's forcing you to feel this way?”

The moment these words reach my ears, my entire body freezes. My heart shatters into countless pieces. I never imagined he would stain my love with such filthy accusations. I never wanted anything from him, only him.

Still burning with anger, he adds, “So tell me, what do you want? Money? I'll give it to you. As much as you ask for. But don't put on this drama of love in front of me.”
