Claimed By Four Alphas

“Hey!” I interject. “I am not! You’re just jealous that you haven’t had a turn yet!” “I’m not jealous, believe me.” Theo continues to give me a disapproving look, but he’s not worked up. I try to settle back down. “Well, excuse me for wanting to share my success with the people I thought were supposed to be my friends!” “Maybe we don’t want to hear about you boning the girl we are all going to be with!” Gavin spits. He does, in fact, look perturbed. He folds his arms across his chest. I can’t help but poke the bear. “Oh, don’t worry, Gavin,” I say. “I’m sure she hasn’t completely forgotten about you, now that she’s had me. Not yet anyway.” I laugh, but Gavin takes it personally and flies up off the couch. “Stop being an asshole, Leo!” I spring to my feet, ready for a fight. It’s been too damn long since I had the chance to punch someone in the face. “Hey, knock it off!” Nico says as he and Theo both get between us. “We need to be calm about this. It’s not like any of us are happy about the situation, but it is what it is.” “That’s right,” Theo continues. “We can’t beat each other up every time someone else sleeps with Liora, or we’ll all be bruised and battered. So calm down.” I keep the grin on my face as Gavin takes a step back and yanks at his hair in frustration. “We shouldn’t be discussing what happens with Liora! This is supposed to be respectful… not a contest.” “But it is a contest,” I remind him. “And I intend to win it.” *** She never wanted to be a breeder. When her parents trade her to the royal court for money, Liora ends up at the Alpha King’s castle, where a strange contest is already happening. The king has declared that whoever can give him the first heir will succeed him as king. Liora becomes the prize at the centre of it all. Four Alphas, Gavin, Leo, Nico, and Theo, are chosen to compete, each more different than the last. Liora wants to hate them. Hell, she even wants to escape, but the longer she stays, she starts to see them not as rivals or masters, but men who make her feel seen for the first time. But love has no place in the King’s palace. Everything takes an even worse turn when Serena, Liora’s cousin, steps forward to claim the Luna’s Crown, and with it, everything that keeps Liora safe. But the throne was never truly what anyone truly was after. It was her.

THE ASHBINDERS GAMBIT

They were forged to guard the divine. Now they are the divine’s greatest fear. In an age when the gods still walked the firmament, the Ashbinders were created: half-mortal, half-celestial enforcers bound by living flame and unbreakable oath. Descended from the forbidden unions of the Watchers (those radiant rebels who fell for loving humanity too fiercely), the Ashbinders stood as the last bulwark between the unraveling Veil and the realms below. Honored. Feared. Untouchable. Until the Astral Nexus shattered. Branded heretics mid-ritual, betrayed by the very Court they served, the last four Ashbinders are marked for unbinding. Their leader, Kaelen Virel, becomes the first mortal in recorded history to bear the Ascendant Flame: the same primordial fire that once crowned Lucifer before his fall. Hunted by Seraphim executioners and their former oath-brother Malcer, the Ashbinders flee into exile carrying a truth that could unmake creation itself: The gods are dying. Their thrones are hollow. Their commandments were never law; only chains. To survive, Kaelen and his companions must embrace the very sins that damned the Watchers: pride, forbidden knowledge, and the seductive promise of evolution. Armed with relics of the Great Rebellion and powers that grow more angelic and monstrous by the day, they ignite a second Fall; not from heaven, but against it. From ruined temples etched with the screams of chained angels to the black markets of Nephilim descendants, from the corpse of a dead god rotting in the wastes to the shattered gates of the Divine Court itself, the Ashbinders will tear open every lie the heavens ever told. This is no holy war of good against evil. This is a rebellion of children against absent parents, of fire against the void that birthed it. One spark can burn a throne. One fallen wing can eclipse the sun. And when the Ashbinders walk the world again, no god, no angel, no mortal will remain unchanged. The divine never feared betrayal. They feared what comes after betrayal: becoming obsolete. The Gambit has begun. Heaven will bleed gold before it ends.

The Cartographer’s Heresy

In an age when maps can conquer more than armies, Elena Valenti learns to draw the world in secret. Born in sixteenth-century Venice to the royal cartographer of the Portuguese crown, she grows up among compasses and parchment — tools that decide the fates of nations. But Elena’s gift is more dangerous than her father ever imagined: she alters the maps that feed empires, hiding villages, sacred sites, and entire peoples from the greedy eyes of kings. When her deception is exposed, Elena’s world collapses. Her father is executed for treason, imperial fleets are dispatched to hunt her down, and the cartographers she once idolized become her fiercest enemies. Armed with nothing but ink, stolen charts, and a secret atlas written in codes no conqueror can read, she flees across oceans — pursued by soldiers, spies, and rival mapmakers who would kill for the knowledge she carries. From the markets of Lisbon to the gold-dusted cities of West Africa, from the palaces of Mughal India to the misty peaks of the Andes, Elena’s journey becomes more than a flight for survival. It is a mission to rewrite the world itself. Along the way, she forges unlikely alliances — a priestess who encodes landscapes into song, a ronin who reads the sea like scripture, a rebel princess who believes maps are prisons. Each teaches her a truth the empires fear: that land does not belong to those who claim it, but to those who remember it. But as the hunt closes in and a single map — older than any empire — threatens to upend the order of the world, Elena must face an impossible choice. To protect what she loves, she may have to destroy everything she once believed about truth, power, and the very shape of the Earth. Sweeping from Renaissance Europe to the uncharted edges of the known world, The Cartographer’s Heresy is a story of courage and betrayal, ink and blood, and a young woman who turns cartography into rebellion. It is about how maps do more than chart the world — they define it — and how one woman dares to redraw its lines.

Gilded Ashes: When Shadows Reign

In a world haunted by darkness, a single spark can rewrite fate itself. When shadows devour everything he ever knew, Raizen is left with nothing but grief - and a vow to hunt down and kill every Nyx. He shouldn't have been alive. But darkness made a mistake. Now, he'll burn the world to hunt it down. At his side stands Hikari, a mysterious girl with a blurry past and a dark fate she cannot escape - one that even she fears. From the ashes of loss to The Underworks, to the halls of Neoshima's Lotus Academy, and Vanguard duty - Raizen's surrounded by ruthless rivals, corrupt officials, adapting creatures and secrets sharp enough to kill. He must grow stronger - or die quietly. A story with battles of unimaginable scale. A world that still echoes from disaster. Awakened powers that break every limit. Some call it Eon - a power beyond fate, a force that can bend reality itself. But something far darker is waking inside of Raizen. Something not meant to protect life... But to end it.
