werewolf

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.

Left behind as a child to escape death, Jacob grows up believing he is only human—grateful, yet forever incomplete. At twenty-four, he serves as the personal assistant of Damon Blackfang, the ruthless Alpha of the Lunar Fury Pack… a man whose power terrifies him, and whose gaze never leaves him. Damon has protected Jacob since childhood. But what began as protection twisted into obsession. To Damon, Jacob is not just an assistant—he is his possession, his weakness, his addiction. When darkness awakens Damon’s uncontrollable wolf, Jacob becomes the only light capable of calming the Alpha’s rage. Yet that same darkness unlocks a terrifying truth: Jacob is not human at all, but the lost heir of the legendary Wolf King, his power sealed away by magic to protect him. As forbidden desire turns into an unbreakable bond, enemies rise, blood is spilled, and fate demands a cruel choice. With war closing in and Jacob carrying Damon’s child, love becomes both their salvation… and their greatest curse. In a world ruled by claws and destiny, can obsession become true love—or will it destroy them both?

Her blood was liquid gold. The moment it hit the basin, an urge to mate slammed into Dexmon, obliterating any concern for timing, place, or consequence. His heart thundered, caught somewhere between hunger and outright panic. His wolf surged. Aegon: Mate her. Mate her again. Mark her. In that order. Dexmon: Absolutely the fuck not.   ________________________ [Synopsis] Two Alphas. One impossible choice. A stranger saves Serena's life, and she returns the favor without knowing he's the Crown Prince of Drakenfell. Mate. He knows instantly. She has no idea. After a year in silver chains, her wolf is dead. At least, that's what she believes. But Dexmon is already betrothed to a princess who will murder to keep him. So he stays silent. Fin Shadowclaw, the youngest Alpha King in Skardos, can't take his eyes off her either. His wolf also says 'Mate' and he has no intention of walking away. Serena remains unaware, until someone tries to kill her. Fin catches it in time, and is forced to mark her to save her life. Right when his fangs are deep and Alpha venom flowing, a black wolf slams into him. He's knocked back, and watches as the wolf's fangs bite right over his mark. Serena wakes up to a fuming Alpha Prince, ready to re-mark his territory as many times as it takes. And a possessive Alpha King who's already decided nothing will pull her away from him. Two marks. One girl. And a war that has nothing to do with territory. Love triangles don't usually involve mass murder. ________________________ Content Warning: This novel contains dark themes, dubcon, abuse, SMUT, explicit scenes, and morally gray characters.

This is a war romantasy of forbidden bonds between wolves, vampires and witches. VOLUME I: HOWLS OF HIS LOVE War is coming. For a thousand years, witches, vampires, and werewolves have hated each other, each race waiting for the moment the fragile peace finally shatters. Malachai Saint Von Jhering, known to the world as Kai, the Alpha King of the Wolf Race, is hiding a truth that could destroy them all. He is not just a wolf. He is wolf, vampire, and witch.

It has always been me and you from the start." VOLUME II: THE LYCAN WAR The war has begun. Humans have created a virus capable of wiping out every werewolf alive, and they plan to use it.

Now Kai and Chloe must race against time to destroy the virus before it becomes the spark that ignites the greatest war the supernatural world has ever seen. Because some secrets can end a war. Others can end the world.

Warning: This book contains a large number of very hot adult scenes!(18+ ONLY) *PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO INTENSE INTIMATE SCENES* "Say you're ours." Nicholas's hand tightened around my throat....not choking, just holding, reminding me who owned every breath I took. His silver eyes burned into mine, relentless and demanding. "Say it, Lilith." "I'm yours," I whispered, and the words tasted like surrender and salvation all at once. "Louder." Sebastian's voice was dark silk behind me, his massive body pressed against my back, his hands bruising my hips. "We want to hear you scream it." Before I could answer, Lucian slammed into me from behind, filling me so completely I saw stars. The stretch, the fullness, the overwhelming sensation of being claimed....it stole every thought from my mind. "I'm....." I tried to speak, but then Nicholas was lifting my leg, positioning himself, and suddenly he was pushing inside me from the front, and I was being taken by both of them at once. Too much. Too full. Too intense. "Breathe," Nicholas commanded against my lips, but breathing was impossible when they were both moving, finding a rhythm that had me trembling violently between them. "I'm yours!" The confession finally tore from my throat as Lucian's mouth found that sensitive spot on my neck, teeth scraping, threatening to mark me permanently. "I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours...." "Good girl," all three of them growled in unison. "Now prove it." Lilith Thorne is drowning. Her father, Beta of Shadowmere Pack....was murdered six months ago. Her mother overdosed on wolfsbane and lies comatose. Her boyfriend found his true mate and threw her away like garbage. And she's wolfless.....a reject in wolf society, unable to shift, worthless and invisible. With eviction looming and hospital bills crushing her, Lilith makes a desperate choice: enter the Rite, an ancient ritual where unmated Alphas can claim women for one night in exchange for gold.

Triplets cursed by the Moon Goddess to find their true mate before they turn 26, or lose themselves to their wolves forever. They have three months left. What starts as a transaction becomes an obsession. The moment they touch her, their curse quiets. Their wolves recognize something in her. And they can't let her go. But Lilith is not what she seems. She's the last daughter of the most powerful witch bloodline in existence, her magic suppressed since birth. And when that magic awakens, it will change everything. When she finally learns the truth....that breaking their curse means taking it upon herself....Lilith makes a choice that will change everything. She sacrifices herself to save them, dying in their arms while they scream her name. But death isn't the end. It's only the beginning. And when she rises from the ashes, marked by death and wielding powers she never imagined, she won't be the same broken girl who walked into the Rite. She'll be something far more dangerous. Their mate. Their queen. Their salvation. Or their destruction. Part 1: THE CLAIMING How far would you fall for three kings who worship you like a religion and claim you like a conquest?

Nothing good ever happens after midnight. Adrian Cole learned that the hard way when a routine night shift turned into his death. He never saw what killed him. He never understood why he was chosen. All he knew… was that he should have stayed dead. Because when he opened his eyes again, three women were standing over him—each more dangerous than the last. A blood-born aristocrat with crimson eyes. A silent huntress who moves through shadows. A dream-weaver who smiles like she already owns your mind. They didn’t save him out of kindness. They bound him. Now, Adrian is tied to them by a covenant that links their lives, their power… and their hunger. But the city he thought he knew is no longer the same. Behind the lights and crowded streets lies a hidden world—where ancient bloodlines rule from the shadows, monsters wear human faces, and power is taken, never given. Something had already marked him for death. Something that hunts in the dark. And now that he’s survived once… it won’t stop until he’s gone for good. But Adrian is no longer just human. With three supernatural wives at his side and a growing power he doesn’t fully understand, he’s about to step into a world where survival means domination—and hesitation means death. The night has rulers. The question is… Will he serve them— Or become the one they kneel to?

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”

Azaria Freeman gave everything to Aldrith Corp. She carried two roles without complaint, held the company together when it mattered, and believed her reward was finally within reach. Instead, the promotion she earned was handed to someone with the Aldrith name. Furious and done staying silent, Azaria storms into a board meeting and challenges the very people who overlooked her. But the moment she steps inside, everything changes. Because Theon Aldrith realizes the truth. His mate has been right under his nose all along. And she is human. Something that hasn’t happened in centuries. Now, power, instinct, and fear collide as Theon faces an impossible choice: claim her and risk everything, or walk away from the one person fate has chosen for him.

Aurelia Vale spent her entire life believing she was nothing more than a powerless human living among werewolves. Without a wolf. Without a mate. Without a place she could truly call home. In a pack that valued strength above all else, she survived by lowering her head and enduring their scorn in silence. The Alpha heirs despised her. The future Beta dismissed her existence. Even the warriors treated her as an inconvenience. When the cruelty becomes unbearable, Aurelia walks into the Moon Goddess Temple to sever her bond with the pack forever. She never expects her blood to awaken an ancient power thought long extinct. Thunder shatters the sky. Her wolf emerges. Aurelia is not human. She is a White Wolf, heir to a forgotten bloodline that once ruled over Alphas and commanded entire packs. Worse yet, the scent of five mates binds itself to her soul the moment she awakens. The very men who once humiliated her now feel the pull of the bond. The pack that cast her aside now kneels before her power. And a mysterious fifth presence watches from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to claim what he believes is his. As Aurelia flees the pack that betrayed her, her strength continues to grow and long buried truths begin to surface. Faced with obsession, regret, and a bond she never asked for, she must decide whether to grant forgiveness or tear down the hierarchy that once broke her. This time, Aurelia is no longer the one being chosen. She is the one who decides who is worthy of standing beside the White Luna.

The century-old war between witches and werewolves has finally ended. Peace reigns. Or so it seems. Because that peace came with a price. Something stirs in the shadows. Dark creatures now hunt wolf, witch, and human alike. The world needs a savior... one born of chaos and magic. Celeste Bloodoak was supposed to be that savior. Daughter of the North American Alpha King and his hybrid Luna Queen, she should’ve inherited greatness. But she didn’t. Wolfless. Nearly powerless. Scorned by her peers, rejected by the Alpha she loves and pitied by her own family, Celeste has always lived in her twin brother’s shadow. Until she meets him—a man forged in blood and darkness. A creature that shouldn’t exist. A vampire. And as if resisting that dangerous pull weren’t enough, Celeste’s world shatters during Bloodoak Academy’s Mating Ball... when she discovers she’s mated to four men. Not one. Not two. FOUR. Her arrogant Alpha ex. His calm, calculating Beta brother. A witch who wants nothing to do with her. And the mysterious vampire whose kiss tastes like sin. One girl. Four mates. And a bond that could save—or doom—the world. In this dance of blood, power, and forbidden desire, will Celeste rise as the prophesied heir… or fall to the darkness that calls her name?

Stripped of title and cast lower than any omega, she was left to rot in a stone cell while the life she knew moved on without her. Escape seemed impossible until the Moon Goddess offered her one last card: a fated mate. The man who claims her is King Gunnar Sigurdsson, the iron-fisted Alpha of the rival Ironfang Pack, a warrior who swore off all weakness after losing everything once before. He wants her gone. She refuses to break. What begins as hate and chains twists into raw, dangerous passion.

This is a story for the hopeless romantics who crave more than just love… but destiny, danger, and a touch of the forbidden. At its heart is a striking redhead with piercing blue eyes, a woman caught between two men: the one she thought she lost forever, and the one who now holds her heart. But this is no ordinary love triangle. It is a tale woven with the remnants of ancient races long thought extinct, the Nosferatu, the Lycans, the Elves, and the Dwarves. Beneath the surface of kingdoms and courtship lies a brewing storm of rebellion, bloodshed, and a fight for freedom. In a world where loyalty to one’s people clashes with the desires of the heart, every choice comes at a cost. Cursed with immortality through endless rebirth, she has wandered through lifetimes burdened by memory and loss, searching for a way to break the cycle and finally rest. To protect herself, she keeps her heart locked away… until she meets a kind, gentle man who teaches her how to love again, only for fate to cruelly take him from her. Forced to carry that grief into yet another life, she resigns herself to loneliness. Until she meets him. A man bound by the same curse. A man who understands her. A man who dares to make her believe in love again. But what happens when the past refuses to stay buried? When her first love returns, alive and changed, just as she begins to move on? And what happens when she discovers that her curse is not a curse at all… but the truth of what she really is? As secrets unravel and identities are revealed, she must choose between love and duty, past and present, heart and destiny. And this time, the choice may cost her everything. Content Notes • Contains explicit romantic scenes • Themes of love triangles and emotional conflict (with a touch of reverse harem dynamics) • Includes violence, bloodshed, and death • Set in a medieval-inspired world (yes, soap exists) • Contains mature language ⸻ Excerpt “I’m tired of this existence,” Melissa murmured, her voice barely louder than the dying embers in the hearth. “I don’t want to live forever. I just want it to end… to finally stay dead.” Elric stepped closer, his gaze soft but unyielding. He lifted her chin gently, forcing her to meet his eyes. “And if you leave,” he asked quietly, “who will I spend eternity with?” Melissa pulled away, the cold air rushing to meet her bare skin as she moved toward the window. The night wrapped around her like an old companion, indifferent and endless. “You’ll learn to live without me, Your Majesty,” she said, her tone distant. Behind her, Elric closed the space between them once more, his arms encircling her, warmth against the chill. “Is a life like this not worth it,” he murmured, “if you live it with someone you love?” Melissa’s expression hardened, her eyes reflecting something far older than sorrow. “Love is meaningless without an ending,” she replied. “Even vows are built on it… till death do us part.”

They say an Alpha without a wolf is no Alpha at all. For ten years, Rhys has ruled as the most feared Alpha in the western territory—without ever shifting. Until Elise Winters walks into his territory—and his wolf comes back wrong. Stronger. Wilder. Fixated. On her. Elise is practical, stubborn, and completely unprepared for what she’s inherited. Rhys knew what she was to him the moment she stepped through his door. And he knows this— If he claims her, if he lets his wolf fully return, it won’t just change him. It could cost him his pack. His throne. And her life.
