Reborn in a world of magic, bloodlines, and deadly intrigue, he awakens as Kael Grenfort — a child carrying an ancient curse and the sharp mind of a man who once controlled nations.

Revenge is his inheritance. Strategy is his weapon. And this time — he will not lose.

BOOK ONE OF THE “FERAL BONDS” SERIES. “It’s too late, Vael,” Vessara whispered, her gaze stern. Vael shook his head. “You’ll never mate another in this lifetime, Vessara.” He groaned, his breath fanning her skin as he pinned her against the desk. “You. Are. Mine.” His fangs sank into the sensitive skin at the crook of her neck. Vessara’s eyes widened in shock at the realization of what he had done. ****************** Vessara was never meant to stand out. Quiet and overlooked. She has spent her life learning to survive by staying quiet, by pleasing others, and by never asking for more than she’s given. And when she's sold off like a property to a cold, ruthless, terrifying Alpha, it feels like a death sentence. What she didn't expect out of the cruel arrangement was finding out the Ruthless Alpha was the same man she has been seeing. Alpha Vael’Runn of House Vaeroth learned early that Mercy is a weakness. Love is a liability. He has spent years burying every trace of humanity beneath power, violence, and control. And nothing has ever been powerful enough to shake the monster he had become. Until a certain presence entered his world. An omega. Something about her unsettles him. Something about her refuses to fade into the background of his world. And she awakens something he has buried long ago. And when a Ruthless Alpha decides something belongs to him, how far will he go to keep it? Will Vessara become more than a possession? Perhaps a weakness Vael cannot afford? Will she remain silent and survive, or risk everything to awaken the man beneath the monster? CONTENT WARNING: This book is rated +18.

His free hand strayed. They burned as they slid across my waist. And higher. Dangerously close to the under curve of my breast. “The thing with girls like you, Maisie, is that you think all you need to fix to be picked is your appearance. I don’t doubt that you’d make a great fuck, but you’ll never be the type of woman men want to keep. The kind to be made Luna. You’re the kind that’s only good enough to fuck, but never good enough to be chosen.” *** After getting rejected by her mate, Cole Hayes, the future Alpha of the pack, and nearly losing her life from the pain of it, Maisie Adams and her best friends concoct a fail safe plan to get back at him and save her from dying.

Phase IV: Get Cole Hayes to apologize. Phase V: Reject Cole Hayes. What they do not, however, account for is Cole Hayes falling for Maisie and being unable to let her go.

How Did It End Up With My Sister’s Ex-Boyfriend When his older sister is left emotionally shattered after a painful breakup, Jae-min makes a reckless decision—he’ll get revenge on the man who ruined her. That man is Kang Jihan: twenty-five, wealthy, polished, charming, and infuriatingly untouchable. To everyone else, Jihan is the perfect heir with a perfect smile. But to Jae-min, he’s the reason his sister can no longer smile the same way. So Jae-min comes up with a plan. He’ll get close to Jihan. Make him fall in love. Make him trust him. And when Jihan is at his weakest, Jae-min will leave him broken—just like his sister was. It should have been easy. Jae-min is young, attractive, and bold enough to turn flirtation into a weapon. He knows exactly what he’s doing… or at least he thinks he does. But the closer he gets to Jihan, the more his revenge begins to unravel. Because beneath the effortless charm and cold perfection is a man far lonelier—and far more dangerous—than Jae-min expected. What was supposed to be a game of seduction becomes something messier, darker, and impossible to control. The lies grow heavier. The lines between revenge and desire blur. And when Jihan finally discovers who Jae-min really is, Jae-min is forced to face the one thing he never planned for: What if the person he wanted to destroy becomes the one person he can’t let go of? In a story of guilt, obsession, and revenge gone terribly wrong, How Did It End Up With My Sister’s Ex-Boyfriend is a psychological BL about two people who enter each other’s lives with secrets—then stay long enough to ruin themselves for real.

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.
