betrayal

Viola was once the pride of her pack, destined to rise above everyone on the day she received her wolf. Instead, that day marked her fall. She had been the villain in countless stories, untouchable and adored by the Alpha heir, until the night her wolf was supposed to awaken, and fate played its cruelest joke. She fell to the lowest rank in her pack, rejected by her sworn mate. Stripped of status, strength, and even her wolf, she was forced to live a life worse than that of an omega. Imprisoned and alone, Viola’s only hope of escape lay in finding her wolf, or her fated mate. Only, a dark past kept her powers dormant… and her fated mate didn’t want her. Sebastian Kade is powerful, ruthless, and chained to a past he refuses to release. Viola Linden does not belong in his world, and he wants her gone. Fate, however, disagrees. This fragile, stubborn girl refuses to leave his orbit. He does not believe in love. He does not want her. He has already lost too much. An Alpha who swore off weakness, hardened by loss and haunted by a prophecy that feels more like a curse, Sebastian is certain he will never allow another woman into his life. But the Moon Goddess is rarely kind. Viola carries something ancient within her, something dangerous, something powerful enough to defy him. Hate twists into desire. Desire ignites into fierce passion. And passion threatens to become love. But when Sebastian discovers what Viola truly carries within her, will it save him… or destroy everything he’s built? ~~~ WARNING: MATURE CONTENT! #Slow burn #Spicy #Morally Gray ML #Adventure #Angst

"So naive, Melanie. So stupid." Those were the last words I heard before a bullet ended my life. Betrayed by my best friend and murdered by the man she loved, I thought death was the end. Instead, I woke up inside a novel. Not as the heroine. Not as a side character. But as Seraphina Helene Valemont—the villainess destined to be executed for treason by her own husband, Duke Draven Everfrost. Armed with knowledge of the original story, survival should have been easy. Avoid mistakes. Avoid enemies. Avoid the Duke. But the story refuses to stay the same. The Duke who was supposed to despise me begins protecting me… for reasons I don’t understand. Events I know by heart begin to change. Secrets buried for decades begin to surface. And the future I relied on becomes less reliable with every passing day. As political conspiracies threaten the empire and old legends refuse to stay buried, I find myself caught between a fate I desperately want to escape… and a man I was never supposed to trust. But the deeper I dig into this world, the more terrifying one question becomes: What if the most dangerous thing in this story was never the villainess? Because some monsters are not born. Some monsters choose to chain themselves. And some names should have remained forgotten.

As the conflict with the aliens intensify; opposing powers are brewing in secrecy. A big catastrophe is about to happen that will turn Tokyo into a nightmare. The past will meet the present as curses, sorcerers and aliens faces new challenges.

“For years I have tried to tell you I was innocent, and what did you do?” “Briar, please,” Cassian tried to say. “It’s not like that―” “Like what?” I spat. “Not like you’ve tormented me my whole life? Not like you’ve used me and tried to have me killed?” “There was a reason for it,” Rowan tried to say. His eyebrows were furrowed together tightly as he took a step forward. He reached for my hand, and I quickly stepped back. Hurt flashed across his eyes. “We didn’t know―” “Of course you didn’t,” I said with a humorless laugh. “All you did was listen to the lies Violet told you. Even though I am your fated mate, you’ve ignored all my pleas to just listen to what I had to say.” “Briar, please listen to us,” Soren said. His eyes were red with desperation. “Please give us another chance.” “No,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m done waiting. I’m done hurting.” I met their gaze, mustering all the strength I had. I ignored the way their mark on my neck burned in protest. “You’ve made your bed,” I said. “Now it’s time to lie in it.” *** Briar Argyris was born into power, the youngest daughter of the revered Beta family of the Shadowclaw Pack―until the day she vanished. Kidnapped as a child and presumed dead, Briar returned years later, broken and bloodied at the border of her homeland. But her family had already moved on. Her sister, Willow, had grown into a prodigal daughter. As such, there was no room for the forgotten daughter. From the moment she came home, Briar was treated like a curse. Her presence seemed to poison Willow, and as such, Briar was forced to stay far away from her―in the omegas’ quarters. When Willow supposedly died, Briar's fate was sealed. The pack believed she was the murderer, and no one was willing to listen to her pleas. Until the Moon Goddess intervened. Right before her execution―her 18th birthday―Briar's destiny was revealed. She was the fated mate of not one, but three Alphas. Rowan. Soren. Cassian Hadeon. Childhood friends of Willow. Heirs of the Shadowclaw Pack. And her greatest tormentors. They wanted nothing to do with her―convinced she had destroyed the girl they loved, and fueled by the lies of Violet, Willow’s best friend. To them, Briar was nothing but a cruel joke of fate. Trapped in a bond she didn’t choose, hated by the men fate bound her to, Briar is determined to survive―even if her heart shatters in the process. Because the truth is still buried. And when it finally surfaces, the Alphas will learn that the girl they rejected is not only their true mate―she’s the key to everything they thought they lost. But will Briar still want them back after everything they've done? After all, the moon shines brighter outside the Shadowclaw Pack. Just because the triplets are dumb enough to let their fated mate go, doesn't mean that others will do the same... *** Updates 2-4 times a week for the month of April. Daily updates starting in May.

Betrayed by her own blood, Nina Storm is forced to take her sister’s place—married off to a cursed Alpha whose brides never survive past the eleventh day. Everyone is waiting for her funeral. But when the twelfth dawn comes… Nina walks out alive. Worse—she awakens as the very witch who cursed them all. There’s just one problem: her power is gone. To reclaim it, she has only one choice—betray the man she’s bound to. Seduce the Alpha. Take what she needs. Leave him to his fate. That was the plan. Until him. Rodrigo doesn’t fall in love—he obsesses. Completely. Dangerously. Irrevocably. And Nina, who came to destroy him, finds herself wanting to save him instead. But loving the Alpha comes at a price. And this time…the price might be too heavy to pay.

What if you were rejected three times over—by your family, by society, and by the world itself? This is not a tale of vengeance, nor the story of a barbaric conqueror. It is the story of someone who possesses overwhelming power, yet wishes for nothing more than to be accepted and live as an ordinary human. Al is the true-born son of the noble Virellano family. But seventeen years ago… he was swapped at birth, abandoned at an orphanage, and forgotten by his own blood. Now, he has returned. Not as a guest. Not as an intruder. But as the real young master. The problem? That family… has grown to love the child who isn’t even theirs. Al doesn’t care. He’s not interested in fake affection, inheritance, or the family throne. All he wants is a normal life—an existence where he can finally be accepted, not as a terrifying creature, not as a monster, but as a human. But within his body lies a forgotten ancient energy. And the sealed living weapon he carries… is slowly awakening. This world is far from simple. Beneath the glittering lives of nobles lies a hidden system of energy, ancient races, and long-dead magic… waiting to rise again.

WARNING!!! , SOME CHAPTERS IN THIS NOVEL CONTAINS EXPLICIT SCENES "Sign it, Aria. Don’t make this more pathetic than it already is." The smell of his expensive cologne mixed sickeningly with the scent of her stepsister’s perfume on the damp hotel sheets. Julian didn’t look like the man who had whispered promises of forever an hour ago; he looked like a predator closing a trap. Beside him, Elena smirked, pulling the silk duvet higher over her shoulder—a silent, triumphant taunt. "You were having sex with her," Aria whispered, her voice cracking as the roar of the fashion show’s bass thumped through the walls of the dressing suite. "On my runway night. In our bed." "Technically, it’s my bed now," Elena chirped, her eyes gleaming with malice. "Just like it’s my lead spot in the show. You’re trending, sister. But not for the fashion." Julian shoved the fountain pen into Aria’s trembling hand. "The scandal hits the press in ten minutes. Your career is dead, your reputation is ashes, and this divorce is your only way out before the sponsors sue you for every cent you own. Sign the papers, take your shame, and disappear." With a numb heart and a hand that felt like ice, Aria scribbled her name, severing her life. An hour later, rain lashed against the neon lights of the city as she stumbled into a darkened bar, a ghost in a couture gown. She didn't want comfort; she wanted to feel something other than the knife in her back. When the man in the corner—shadowed, lethal, and radiating a terrifying power—offered her his hand and a night of forgetting, she took it. She didn't know his name. She didn't know he was the most dangerous man in the financial world. She only knew that as she walked away from the wreckage of her life the next morning, she was carrying a secret that would one day bring the world to its knees.

Excerpt... Henry’s hand shot out, closing around her arm, firmly enough that her breath caught. “Stay…” He stood beside her, close enough that she could feel him without touching him. “I…” Livia’s voice broke before it found strength. “I didn’t flee.” She still would not fully look at him. Her eyes remained on Bella. “This is not my fault,” she whispered. “No,” Henry said at once. “It isn’t.” He looked away, then back at her. “Do you love him, Livia?” “Please,” she cried. “Stop calling me that.” “Do you love him?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. “So soon after me?” he asked. “I thought we…” He stopped. “I assumed you…” “That I what?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “That I loved you? Henry…” she began then she caught herself. “Your Highness. I did seek solace in your arms... Yes. I will not lie about that. I wanted you. I trusted you. In a sea of sharks and wolves, you were the safest thing I could find.” Her eyes filled again. “You made me feel as though I could breathe. Turns out, you are no better.” “Why?” Henry asked quietly. “Because I am the king?” “Because you lied to me. You let me trust a man who did not exist.” “I existed.” “Henry the merchant existed because you created him.” “For good reasons, I had to keep my identity hidden,” Henry said. “The king moving around London without security,” he continued, “what do you think would happen?” “You speak as though I was asking you to announce yourself in the middle of Cheapside with trumpets and a crown. It doesn’t matter anymore,” Livia said, looking away from him. “I am getting married.” “Yes,” Henry said, the word leaving him like a blade drawn from flesh. “To my best friend. Did you tell him?” Henry asked. Livia’s brows drew together. “Tell him what?” “That I fucked you. Did you tell him I was your first? Did you tell him you once trusted me? That you once promised yourself to me because you thought I was the safest thing in your miserable world?” “That is not fair.” “Then tell me is it fair that Richard gets to call you his intended while I stand here pretending I do not know the sound of your moan? Is it fair that he holds your hand while I cannot even say your name without ruining you?” “Please stop.” “Did you tell him,” Henry pressed, unable to stop himself now, “that you were mine before you were ever his?” “How could I?” she asked, the words breaking. “I did not even know who you were.” “Then let me ask you this,” he said, leaning down just a little, his lips a hair’s breath from hers. “Has he fucked you? Has he touched what is mine?” ..... Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block. She makes a desperate choice and places her fate in the hands of the mysterious man who once caught her stealing. She does not know he is the King of England.

In the city of Threxa, Riven Thorn is just another ordinary boy. Poor, unnoticed, and dreaming of nothing greater than surviving tomorrow. That illusion shatters the night his village is slaughtered by werewolves led by the Alpha of the First Order, an ancient ruler believed to be untouchable. As chaos erupts, Riven’s mother, Tyrella, tries desperately to escape with him. They are ambushed. She is killed without mercy. Broken by grief and rage, Riven charges the monsters that destroyed his life—only to be struck down, his throat torn open, left to die in the dirt. But death does not claim him. Standing over his dying body, the Alpha commits a forbidden act thought impossible—he bites a human. Riven survives. And everything changes. Across the Four Werewolf Orders, a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces: A human-turned-werewolf will rise, slaughter the Alphas, and reign as the Supreme Alpha. Fear spreads like wildfire. To werewolf society, Riven is an abomination neither fully human nor fully wolf. Before he can grow into the prophecy, the Orders unite with one goal: kill him first. Reborn into the lowest rank of werewolves, hunted relentlessly from the shadows, Riven begins a brutal journey of survival. He must master his unstable powers, control his transformations, and climb a ruthless hierarchy through blood-soaked battles one rank at a time. Each victory drags him deeper into the hidden world of werewolves, while pulling him further away from the humanity he once knew. By day, he struggles to live as a normal boy. By night, he becomes a monster feared by his own kind. As secrets behind the Orders unravel, Riven learns the prophecy may not be about destiny but choice. To reign supreme, he must defeat all Four Alpha Lords, shatter centuries of werewolf rule, and decide what he truly is: A human cursed by power… or a king forged by it.

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

six siblings and their mates, find themselves in chaos, it is up to these six siblings and their allies to decided what path they will choose or else they will remain abandoned... Will they make it out alive? or will they die under the hands of their family?

JayJay Mariano learned early that love is a liability. Once a girl who believed in quiet promises and stolen moments, she was shattered by a betrayal that forced her to choose survival over softness. Returning to New York, she buried her heart beneath power, strategy, and steel—rising as the cold, respected CEO of the Mariano empire. Years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Keifer Watson—the boy who once knew her in shadows, the heir who walked away when she needed him most—is now a man feared across industries and underworld alliances alike. A CEO. A rival. A memory she never allowed herself to heal. When their worlds collide again, unresolved pain resurfaces alongside a truth JayJay was never meant to learn: the betrayal that broke her may have been an act of protection. Torn between anger and longing, power and vulnerability, JayJay must decide whether the man who once destroyed her deserves a second chance—or whether some shadows are better left untouched. Because shadows don’t love softly. And neither do they.
