betrayal

Power was never her ambition. Survival was. For six years, Lena learned how to keep her head down. Do her work. Stay invisible in a pack where strength is everything and weakness is noticed fast.

Loyalties begin to shift. And the man who should never want her finds himself fighting something he can’t reason away. He tries to deny it. To reject her. To pretend this isn’t happening. It doesn’t work. Pulled into a world of power plays, quiet betrayals, and truths no one wants spoken out loud, Lena learns fast that wanting something can make you dangerous. That love is a liability. And that some bonds exist to tear everything down, not hold it together. Because instinct will always win. And if he can’t walk away from her, she won’t just change his life. She’ll be his downfall. The Wolf Who Chose Me is a slow-burn paranormal romance full of tension, betrayal, and obsession, where the wrong girl is chosen, the right choice is never easy, and loving the wrong wolf might cost everything.

“Honesty” is held as an anchor, and “goodness” is offered as a tribute, hoping it might be exchanged for someone’s heart… Only to discover a pitiful truth in the end: in the world of love, goodness is not a currency that can buy feelings at all. Many may see waiting as something romantic. But for those trapped in the cycle of “a love without existence,” waiting is no different from being imprisoned in a cell without bars. We willingly become the guilty secret she keeps hidden. Willingly become the shadow that supports her on days she is hurt by someone else. Willingly endure rejection again and again all because of the self-deception that whispers, “One day, she’ll see my worth.” When we become nothing more than a “placeholder”valuable in her eyes only when she has no one left yet turn into an “excess”, awkward and unwanted, the moment she finds someone new who pleases her more.

Adrian Vale was supposed to have it all—a billion-dollar empire, a bride who loved him, and a legacy carved in his name. He was kind, trusting, and believed loyalty meant something. Until he was betrayed and lost everything on the day that was suppose to be the happiest day of his life. Adrian stood at the altar and watched his fiancée walk into his brother’s arms, the same brother who stole his birthright in front of everyone, and from that day on, the gentle heir died. What emerged was a man forged in ice and fury. Years later, Adrian rebuilt himself into something far more powerful than what was stolen from him. He became the predator in every boardroom, the nightmare his enemies whispered about, and the man who trusted no one and needed nothing. His life was perfectly controlled, he was cold, calculating, and completely alone, with no weakness, or love, and he stop giving people second chances. Then Elena Marlowe walked into his world. She had warm eyes that saw past his walls, a genuine smile that made him feel almost human again, and an innocence that didn’t belong anywhere near a man like him. She didn’t run when he pushed her away. She didn’t break when he was cruel. What Adrian doesn’t know? Elena was sent to destroy him. Planted by his enemies to become his weakness, to slip past every defense he’d built, to make him feel again—so they could rip it all away. And what Elena doesn’t know? She’s the weapon. And she has no idea she’s being used. When the man who vowed never to love again meets the woman designed to break him, the line between revenge and redemption begins to blur. He starts feeling things he swore he’d buried forever. She starts seeing the wounded man beneath the monster. But when the truth comes out—when Adrian discovers the one person who made him believe in love again was sent to ruin him—will he become the villain everyone feared? Or will she be the only one who can save them both? In a world built on betrayal, can two broken people find something worth fighting for?

Clara Vance had it all. Millions of followers, a beauty empire built on glamour, and a life curated for the camera. But a lost bet with her mother sends her away from a marvelous weekend trip to Mykonos and into the dusty attic of her family’s decaying ancestral manor. The catch was her inheritance. Her task? A dreary clear-out. Her discovery? A centuries-old diary belonging to her great-grandmother, Eleanor Thorne. The ink tells a story of a forgotten history. Eleanor’s forbidden obsession with her guardian and step-uncle, Casimir Guggenheim, a ruthless railroad tycoon with a heart of stone. But when Clara touches the tear-stained pages, the scent of crushed gardenias doesn’t just fill the room, it drags her back to 1879. Trapped in Eleanor’s corseted body, Clara finds herself under the roof of the very man who haunted the diary. To the world, Casimir is a cold, untouchable magnate. To Clara, he’s a puzzle she’s determined to break. The problem? Clara isn’t the timid, fragile girl Casimir remembers. She’s a 21st-century It Girl with no filter, a strategic mind for business, a total lack of respect for Gilded Age propriety and a defiance waiting for trouble to happen. While the original Eleanor was a victim of her station, Clara is ready to burn the cage down. As Clara navigates a world where a single misstep means ruin, scheming relatives see her as a pawn, and a powerful suitor sees her as nothing but a business merger. She realizes the history books were wrong. Rewriting Eleanor’s tragic end is dangerous, especially when she starts falling for the man she was never supposed to have. History says they’re a tragedy. Clara says history is about to get a makeover.

Max never believed in second chances. In his previous life, he endured humiliation, neglect, and quiet suffering. He survived by staying small—by lowering his head, by kneeling, by learning that silence was safer than resistance. One night he drank himself to death, it felt less like tragedy and more like release. Then he opened his eyes again. Reborn as Lin Yushan—the only heir of a powerful cultivation family—Max finds himself in a world where strength defines worth and weakness invites destruction. The Lin household stands within Clear River City, a human stronghold hidden beneath a powerful formation in a land ruled not by men, but by void beasts that awaken with the night. Survival here demands power. Power demands cultivation. But inheriting Yushan’s body means inheriting his sins. The original Lin Yushan was arrogant, cruel, and careless. His actions left scars—none deeper than those inflicted upon Lin Xue, the servant who endured years of humiliation in silence. When sabotage nearly costs him his life, suspicion falls upon her. And in a moment that will change everything, Max steps forward—not as the entitled heir, but as someone who understands what it means to kneel and wait for pain. He confesses. The punishment is public. Brutal. Sixty lashes under the unblinking eyes of the Enforcement Hall. For the first time in either life, Max chooses not survival—but responsibility. Yet beneath this struggle lies something greater. In this world, cultivation begins with absorbing Void Essence, the raw essence drawn from the boundless void beyond the stars. In a realm where law is visible, power is survival, and weakness is unforgiven— Max must decide what kind of man Lin Yushan will become. And whether borrowed guilt can become chosen strength. Author’s Note: I’m writing the cultivation story I wish existed. If that interests you, stay awhile. Also, this will be my first book, so be patient.
