“This world is built on lies. If you want to keep it alive, make sure none of them are exposed. They must never reach his ears.” As long as Shuu could remember, these words had governed his life. Abandoned at the grand temple and forsaken by the gods, Shuu grew up powerless in a world that valued nothing else. Survival was never guaranteed, especially for someone like him. Yet he had one talent-he could read fortunes, and he never got them wrong. His future was decided early. He would serve the temple until his debt was paid, then fade away. But during the Hero’s fortune reading, Shuu made a single mistake. One moment was enough to strip him of his place and throw him into exile-only to be taken in by the very Hero who caused it, a man whose presence turns Shuu’s life completely off course. And as Shuu is pulled deeper into the Hero’s path, he begins to realize that something about the Hero and his companions is deeply wrong-something he cannot yet name, but cannot ignore. __________ Please leave a review.

At sixteen, attention feels like safety. A boy who looks at me like I matter. Friends who tease me about floating too fast. A home where love feels steady, but conditional in ways I don’t question yet. I have always been good at earning affection. At shrinking myself just enough. At staying quiet when I feel too much. But when trust fractures and the people I lean on begin to shift, I am forced to confront something I have avoided for years: What if I have been trying to prove I belong all along? The Girl Who Needed to Be Chosen is a coming-of-age story about insecurity disguised as devotion, about quiet betrayal and sudden loss, and about a girl learning, slowly and painfully, that being chosen means nothing if she has never chosen herself.

And when her own family betrays her for power, Talia must choose: remain the woman who endures—or become the woman who fights back. In a city ruled by blood and secrets, survival isn’t enough. The question is: who will she become to claim what’s hers?

(trigger warning. This book contains mature themes) ****** "I can't..." she gasped between broken moans, her voice trembling somewhere between pain and pleasure. Every thrust seemed to blur the line between surrender and defiance. Then she whispered a name between her sweet cries ...it wasn’t mine. I froze. A slow, humorless smile curved my lips as the sound of his name filled the space between us. “Raph…” she breathed. I leaned in, my mouth brushing her ear. Feeling her tremble from touch until my teeth nibbled her earlobes hard enough to make her whimper and her fold to clench around my fingers. “Wrong name, Lynn.” I hissed, withdrawing from the warmth of her insides. I felt her body tense. She clawed at my shoulders, a desperate plea in every touch. “Don’t…” she whimpered. Those jade-like eyes unravelled me that moment. I could feel the ache in my trousers. A troublesome little viper. A cruel smile traced my lips hiding my emotions. “You called the wrong name,” I murmured, my voice low, dangerous. “And bad girls deserve to be punished.” Her glossy eyes met mine... so full of confusion, want, and power she didn’t yet understand. If she only knew how close I was to breaking. Because the only name she should be calling… was mine. Lucien.

They made me his captive. The moon made me his mate. When the Moon Goddess passed over the fierce firstborn Anthony and chose his gentle brother Isaac as Alpha, she didn't just break one wolf—she shattered an entire pack. Anthony's fury burned cold and bright. His brother's throne would never be safe. Not while he still drew breath. So he took what belonged to Isaac. Sylva was supposed to be a peace treaty—the Shadowpine Princess, gifted to Isaac as a bride, a political pawn to secure an alliance. Instead, she woke in darkness, her wrists bound, her captor's gold eyes burning into hers. She fought him. Clawed him. Promised him a death so slow the ancestors would weep.

And the two of them—the spurned heir and the enemy's daughter—are caught between a war that's been brewing for generations and a bond that could either heal the pack's ancient curse or burn what's left of it to ash.

Expect enemies-to-lovers tension, pack war, forced proximity, and a mate bond forged in blood, betrayal, and undeniable fire.
