“Have you had a bit too much to drink?” His voice was laced with a touch of mirth. I remained seated at the table, mute. A person with a shred of kindness would have apologized for tardiness. But Brad? Not a chance. “You really ought to take it easy.” He eyed me with a solemn gaze, and my temper flared. “So now you’re dictating my drinking habits? Next, you’ll be decreeing I can’t leave the house without your green light!” I snapped back. “Don’t test me.” His jaw tightened as he responded. I let out a caustic chuckle, the alcohol emboldening my tongue. “What about children, Brad? Are you going to deny me that as well?” I queried, narrowing my eyes to scrutinize him. “We are not having any children, Angela.” His voice was resolute and unyielding. “Why not? You won’t grant me a divorce, and now no children? Why are you intent on making my life miserable?” I pressed. “I have no intention of sleeping with you, Angela.” His words were like a slap in the face. The humiliation from Rose’s remarks flooded my mind. I knew he had no affection for me, and I reciprocated those feelings. Yet, his bluntness wounded my self-esteem. “I’m not asking for that. If I were to have a child, it wouldn’t be ours.” I declared. He arched an eyebrow. “Then whose child do you propose it would be?” he retorted sharply. “An anonymous donor?” I was almost pleading. “Absolutely not. I will not permit you to conceive a child with the DNA of an unknown man.” He was as frigid as ice. Angela finds herself ensnared in a loveless marriage with Brad. All she yearns for is an escape route, an opportunity to lead a life that satisfies her own desires rather than pandering to this callous, unfaithful man. But she is captive. After months of relative calm, she dares to broach the topic of divorce. Will he relent and set her free, given their mutual loathing? Or will he tighten his grip and continue to assert his dominance? Dive into the story to discover the outcome.
Avery Williams is no ordinary girl. She's a wolf and a witch, with two sides to her - the wolf Angelstar and the Veela Anglica. She's the school outcast, a total nerd and wallflower. Everyone makes fun of her, even her so-called friends. Most werewolves get one or two mates from the Moon Goddess. But not Avery. She's fated to four of the toughest, coolest, and cockiest guys in school - the Alpha Four: Elijah Woods, Jake Stone, Andrew Bradford, and Matthew Steele. These bad boys knew Avery was their mate all along but kept it hush-hush. Instead, they treated her like dirt. Then, on her 19th birthday, Avery discovers she's a Veela. Can Avery ever forgive them for making a bet to win her heart? What if someone from her family's past wants her and kidnaps her at a dance? And what if, by the time the guys find her, she's been married off to the Vampire Prince, The Duke Conway? Will the four Alphas smash through every obstacle, including the walls around Avery's heart? Only time will tell in Avery's Alpha Mate Mayhem.
Diana's world is shattered as she discovers the truth. Her father, Lucas Brent Lockwood, reveals a past filled with lies and danger. "Amy, your mother, was an angel of the ER in a New Jersey hospital. She lived to save lives, but I was too blind to see what was truly important. When she told me about you, I made a choice I'll regret forever. And then, everything fell apart." The pain in her father's voice is palpable. "We are not ordinary. I am an Alpha of a powerful pack spanning New Jersey and New York. I'm a werewolf, and your mother was human. Our union was forbidden, and you, a half-breed, were seen as an outcast. But I was ready to change that, to make your mother my Luna. My father and brother, however, had other plans. They ended your mother's life, hoping to end yours too. When you defied death, they hunted down her human family. We barely escaped, and we've been in hiding ever since, always looking over our shoulders." "Dad, was it just because I'm a half-breed?" Diana asks, her voice trembling. "No, my child. It's because you are the heir. You are the future of the Lotus Pack, and that made you a threat."
Within the captivating and enigmatic realm of shifters, an age-old paradigm has prevailed, where males have reigned supreme across every echelon of the hierarchical order. Be it the savage wolves, the elusive jaguars, or any other species of shifter, the mantle of Alpha has invariably been donned by a male. Rhys Valkyer, the indomitable Alpha of the formidable WildRain pack, stands as the unrivaled powerhouse across all of Asia. His prowess is such that he outraces and outmuscles nearly every other wolf in the continent, and the concept of defeat has remained an alien notion to him. However, whispers reach his ears of a potentially perilous wolf pack dwelling in the heart of the Middle Himalayas, purportedly led by a fabled and scarce white wolf. When eight highly proficient trackers fall victim to the lethal jaws of this very wolf, Rhys finds himself irresistibly drawn into the fray. Little does he fathom the astonishment that awaits him when he at last confronts that elusive white wolf face to face. Mikalya 'Mink' Carnell is a veritable anomaly. She is the solitary Female Alpha to have ever etched her name in the chronicles of history. Shattering the shackles of convention, she has painstakingly assembled a pack of empowered, female-centric wolves. Fearless and endowed with a strength that eclipses even the most robust Alpha male, she is unwavering in her resolve to shield her pack from any encroaching menace. Thus, when these two colossal forces of the shifter world collide headlong, will it ignite a cataclysmic struggle for dominion, or will they yield to the irresistible allure that stokes the most fervent desire and passion either of them has ever beheld?
Nea, the forgotten twin princess, endures constant abuse from her family. When forced into an unwanted marriage, she teams up with a vampire named Tyron. Together, they uncover a map to the mortal world, offering Nea a chance at freedom. But will she find acceptance and love beyond the palace walls?
Emily Danzi has been plagued by a deranged man for most of her adult life. She believed she had escaped him when she relocated to the west coast of Canada, but on a fateful, rainy night, he resurfaces. In a moment of desperation, she enlists the help of a complete stranger to pose as her boyfriend. This stranger is Byron Pomeroy. He was on the verge of ending his own life by leaping from a bridge. Byron manages to frighten off Emily's pursuer, yet his own complex issues soon emerge, despite his vast wealth. Emily, feeling indebted, wishes to assist him. However, she must navigate Byron's overbearing mother and a conniving journalist who has her sights set on Byron and will stop at nothing to ruin the reputation of anyone who obstructs her path.
For twenty years, he was her protector. A quiet, unwavering force in her life, always there when she stumbled, never asking for anything in return. Until the day she finally found her strength again. But now, it’s his turn to need her.
Lily Mae was shattered when her dad died in an accident. She was dead set on uncovering the real story. But as she dug deeper, trouble found her. Out of nowhere, a bunch of mean werewolves snatched her and dragged her to a spooky palace. There was Draka, a dragon who said her dad owed him big time. Just when she thought she could get away from Draka and the werewolves, a gang of vampires swooped in and tossed her into a gloomy prison. In that dark and dreary place, she bumped into a good-looking and mysterious prison guard. Even with all the fear and chaos, something special started to grow between them. Will Lily ever get to the bottom of what really happened?
In the midst of her ordinary daily rounds within the ICU, she was suddenly overcome by a wave of low blood sugar. The next thing she knew, she had fainted right beside a particular patient's bed. When her eyes fluttered open once more, she was met with the intense stare of a patient who had been in a coma for a staggering three years. He was a man of remarkable handsomeness, and his expression was a curious blend of gloom and something else, something that seemed to hint at a hidden depth. He then spoke in a soft, yet slightly accusatory tone, "You managed to end up on top of my oxygen tube." This unexpected encounter was the start of a series of events that would gradually draw her closer to this mysterious coma patient, and perhaps, kindle a love that neither of them could have anticipated.
Never in my wildest nightmares did I think a Third Chance mate was even possible. I, Astrid Stephnie Jones, had already lost two mates and was an outcast, shunned by everyone for being wolf-less and without a mate. I'd given up on any hope of happiness, certain that I deserved nothing but the never-ending hardships that kept crashing down on me. But fate, it seems, had other plans. When my own parents put me up for auction, I was stunned to discover that I was fated to be with the Vampire King Rafael. Everyone knows him as a ruthless and merciless being. Little did I know that beneath that terrifying exterior, he'd been waiting for his mate for decades. What will happen when he gets his hands on me through this awful auction? What if he realizes I'm trying to run away from him? Will I just get myself into more trouble, or could I actually fall in love and give myself another chance? Or is he going to be the one to completely destroy what's left of my life?
