Craig Luis lived an ordinary life until he was stabbed to death-only to awaken in a new world filled with magic. Reincarnated as the last human bearer of the Dragon Soul in the world of Norkiya, he found himself in Silver Lake-a feared resting ground for monsters. There, the most powerful dragon, Fraener, lay dormant, awaiting his end. "Wait... where am I? Silver Lake? Wasn't I just stabbed to death?" As reality set in, Craig realized he had been reborn into a world far beyond his imagination. His encounter with Fraener would change his fate forever. With the power of "Unbridled" Craig can surpass the natural growth limits of any being, while "Prismatic Convergence" grants him the ability to copy and refine the abilities of others. Thus begins the legend of the strongest human!

Riven Hale is eighteen, angry, and addicted to wanting the wrong things. He comes from nothing - a broken apartment, a mother who cleans other people's homes, and a reputation built on violence and sharp words. At school, he's feared. At night, he's obsessed. The man he loves is untouchable. Lucien Crowe is thirty-one, a self-made billionaire with blood on his hands and a past no one survives knowing. Cold. Ruthless. Dangerous. When Riven confesses, Lucien rejects him without mercy - believing distance is the only way to protect them both. He's wrong. Because obsession doesn't fade when it's denied. It festers. As drugs, manipulation, jealousy, and violence pull Riven deeper into the dark, Lucien's enemies begin to notice what he never wanted to admit: the boy he pushed away is his greatest weakness. And when that weakness is threatened, Lucien is forced to cross a line he swore he never would again. This is not a love story about healing. It's about late love, toxic devotion, and choosing damnation over distance. Read at your own risk.

Meredith Carter was once the pride of her pack—until the Lunar Curse marked her as wolfless, unwanted, and a disgrace. Humiliated, abandoned, and rejected by her fated mate, she thought the Moon Goddess had forsaken her. But her curse came with a cruel side effect—wild, uncontrollable pheromones that drove men insane with desire and disgust. A scent so intoxicating, it made her a target. The night she was cast aside when her pheromones spiralled beyond control, Alpha Draven Oatrun—the most feared and untouchable Alpha in the kingdom—claimed her instead. But Draven doesn’t want love. He doesn’t even want her. His reasons for marrying her have nothing to do with fate. Thrust into a world of ruthless politics, deadly enemies, and a mate who sees her as nothing more than a pawn, Meredith must fight to survive, reclaim her dignity, and uncover the secrets behind her curse. Because something is awakening inside her. Something powerful. Something… ancient. And when the truth is revealed, not even Alpha Draven will be able to resist what she becomes. Rejected. Cursed. Desired. Chosen. Will Meredith break free from her fate? Above all, what is this mystical force pushing her to start a war? — Excerpt: "You may have claimed me," Meredith whispered, her violet eyes burning with defiance, "but you will never own me." Draven exhaled a low, dangerous laugh. His golden eyes gleamed as he caged her in, his presence suffocating. "Own you?" His voice was velvet and steel. "Little wolf, I don’t need to own you." He brushed a strand of silver-white hair behind her ear—a touch so light, yet it sent shivers down her spine. "Because whether you like it or not…" His breath ghosted against her skin. "Your body already responds to me." Meredith clenched her jaw, ignoring the traitorous warmth pooling deep inside her. It was the pheromones. It had to be. "I hate you," she forced out. “Good,” Draven smirked. Because hate was just another form of obsession.

THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT This is a simple law that works in each and every one of our daily activities. THE LAW OF BALANCE A fundamental law that keeps the world running. Any action that disrupts this fragile balance could meet serious consequences. THE THIRD LAW OF MOTION In physics, this is measured by the force you display. In life, this is measured by the consequences that force will have. It then gives you a completely opposite reaction. When destiny was avoided by a fluke, I strived to keep that fluke alive. I strived to change my destiny. But am I truly ready for the “consequences”?
