betrayal

Dana Snide lives between two worlds: the ordinary life she was born into, and the Labyrinth that calls to her every night — a place where her power feels alive. When a coven gathering spirals into chaos and old enemies resurface, Dana becomes the centre of a conflict she barely understands. The world she once felt safe in has become her prison, and her fate demands blood, obedience, and sacrifice. Caught between loyalty, danger, and a power she cannot yet control, she is forced to seek answers and the closer she gets to the truth, the more she loses. Hunted, uncertain who to trust, and afraid of what she might become, Dana must uncover the truth about herself… before the truth finds her first. Will she fulfill her destiny… or has it been rigged to fail? P.S.

Grace Sterling's fiancé was supposed to be the future. Instead, he became the past in a single moment of gunfire. When James Colton dies in a mafia ambush meant for someone else, Grace loses her future and gains a new cage. Vincent Moretti, the aging godfather, publicly claims her as his protected ward. It's supposed to be honor. It's supposed to be safety. But Grace quickly realizes it's a chains made of silk and threats. She's expected to grieve quietly, stand beautiful at Moretti family events, and ask no questions about the business that killed her fiancé. Then she meets Marcus Kane. Marcus is Vincent's oldest son. The silent one. The strategist everyone whispers about when they think no one is listening. While his younger brother Dominic plays the role of heir, Marcus watches from the shadows, seeing everything, controlling more than anyone realizes. He should be dangerous to her. Instead, he becomes the only person in this world who looks at her and sees something other than a grieving widow to be managed. But Marcus has spent years buried in the family business, moving pieces on a chess board that includes crime lords, corrupt officials, and his own ambitious family. He doesn't do feelings. He doesn't do weakness. He certainly doesn't do love with women he's supposed to protect. Except Grace isn't looking for protection. She's looking for power. Using negotiation, psychology, and legal knowledge from her paralegal job, Grace begins to move through the underworld's shadow politics. She becomes essential to family decisions. She learns to read men who kill as easily as breathing. She develops a strategy that puts her at the center of power while keeping her hands clean. But she can't manipulate her own heart. Every conversation with Marcus becomes loaded. Every accidental touch burns. Every time he protects her, she wants him more. Every time he pulls away, she understands why he does it and it breaks her anyway. When Dominic Moretti discovers what's really happening, when federal investigators close in, when the family's enemies decide Grace is the perfect target, everything changes. Grace must choose between the power she's building, the loyalty demanded by a godfather who raised her from nothing, and the dangerous love she feels for a man who can never truly be hers. Because in this world, love is leverage. And leverage always gets you killed.

Black blood flows through our veins. The stench of death seeps from within us. We are beings that have already died. Because we are existences that should have never been born. Because we are descendants born from the womb of the Evil Goddess. And for the sake of our immortality— The Gods. To judge us. To curse us. To give us a name— Anathema… *** What is a normal life? As an Anathema— as a hybrid— I don’t understand the meaning of that word. I was born by tearing through my own mother’s womb. What part of that is normal? I don’t know. Those who witnessed my birth called me a seed of calamity. No matter how gentle I tried to be… no matter how desperately I suppressed the madness in my blood — In the end, they still feared me. Hated me. Wanted me gone. That was when I understood. I was different. So I searched. For someone— anyone— who would accept me. Rejected again and again. Driven away countless times. Still, I kept walking. Until— I met her.

In a galaxy ruled by technology, mystical forces, and ancient secrets, chaos emerges that no civilization could predict. The Walking Dead, long thought to be legends from the lost planet Earth, rise once more, spreading terror across planets. Amid this upheaval, Bram Ashford—a brilliant, ruthless, and enigmatic mastermind—sees opportunity where others see doom. His complex family binds him in unexpected ways: a failed son he despises, a favored heir whose talents rival his own, and an unborn child who could change everything. With deadly galactic diseases, supernatural phenomena, and a mysterious force targeting him, Bram navigates a universe where life, death, and power are fluid, and survival depends on cunning, strategy, and ambition. He manipulates, strategizes, and survives, treating every threat as a game. But as legends awaken and cosmic forces stir, one question remains: can even Bram Ashford control the chaos he has unleashed, or will it consume everything—including his family?

From virgin to Ryker's play toy, Rowan's obsession and Corvin's lustful desire. Amaris is that good girl turn bitch! ******* Sold to the father. Fated to the sons. Desired by all three. Amaris Storme was sent as an arranged mate, a peace offering to a cold, grieving Alpha who refuses to touch her. But the moment she steps into his territory, everything goes wrong. Because the bond doesn’t choose him. It chooses his heirs. One twin wants her out of spite. One twin wants her but cannot claim her. The father wants nothing, until he wants everything. Father and sons are driven onto opposite sides, each pulled toward the same woman they should not want. Old wounds reopen and the pack begins to split from the inside out with Amaris at the center of the storm. She was never meant to belong to them all. Now none of them are willing to let her go. Three Alpha wolves. One forbidden bond.

In the shadow of a war brewing, one kiss could rewrite fate. As darkness rises and alliances tremble, a single, unexpected kiss between Harry Potter and Hermione Granger ignites more than just emotions—it awakens a bond neither of them can explain. What secrets sleep beneath this spark? Is it love, destiny, or something far more dangerous? In a world where every moment is laced with magic and mystery, Harry and Hermione must navigate their shifting feelings, hidden truths, and a connection that might hold the key to the wizarding world’s future—or its undoing. Because sometimes, the heart makes its own kind of magic.

Being fated to three Alphas should have made her the most blessed she-wolf in the packs. Instead, it made her their game. One toyed with her life. One pretended to love her. One tried to control her power. But when betrayal shatters her heart, she leaves them all behind. Except... one Alpha refuses to let her escape. Because to him, she was never a pawn. She was always his mate. The mate he had waited...hundreds of years for. Valerie Jude was once the beloved daughter of the pack’s greatest warrior, until her father was executed for a crime he swore he never committed. Branded as a traitor’s daughter, she was stripped of her status and forced into slavery within the very pack her father once protected. For eight years, Valerie lived in silence, enduring humiliation, beatings, and hunger in the shadows of the pack house. Stripped of dignity, forced to survive as a slave, she learned one rule: .....endure, or die. Even her wolf became a secret she could never reveal. Because the truth behind her father’s death was more dangerous than she ever imagined. Days before the future alpha’s ascension, Valerie stumbles upon a conversation she was never meant to hear. A sick bet. A calculated betrayal. And a truth that shatters her remaining hope. The man she trusted is not her savior, but one of her tormentors. The alpha who ruined her life… is her fated mate. To him, the sacred mate bond is not a blessing, it is a punishment. A humiliation he plans to repay with cruelty, rejection, and destruction. To the others, Valerie is nothing more than a prize to be used and discarded. But fate was never done with her. As three alphas close in on her, each with their own twisted intentions or dark desires, Valerie stands at the edge of something far more dangerous than suffering. The awakening of the wolf she was forced to silence. When the truth behind her father’s execution begins to surface, and her wolf stirs once more, the three alphas will learn too late: The girl they broke was never weak. And the mate they planned to destroy… Was never meant to kneel!!!!!

Can Dumbledore or Voldemort stop this new Harry, who’s more dangerous and unpredictable than either of them could have imagined? Or will they become pawns in his game for ultimate power?
