Yeom Ra knew no life beyond that company. He traded pieces of his humanity for a warm meal and a place to belong, selling his dignity under the neat pretext of “patriotism.” So when they handed him the ridiculous assignment of enrolling a school and befriend the offspring of a person of interest, he had no choice but to accept. He was to enter the family’s inner circle without arousing suspicion. He never expected his moral, the beliefs and tidy worldview that had held him together, to be dismantled by one man. Vasiliy was not only the target of the mission; he was the most confounding puzzle Yeom Ra had ever been asked to solve. Trying to remain true to the self he’d been trained to be, Yeom Ra nevertheless slipped, almost imperceptibly at first, into a different current. Curiosity became intimacy, intimacy became complicity. The small acts he’d rehearsed as a spy, casual questions, well-timed jokes, the practiced fumbles that signaled harmlessness, suddenly felt like betrayals of something he couldn’t yet name. Vasiliy’s presence worked on him like a slow, meticulous erosion.

"You don’t get a choice, little omega. You belong to us now." Elara has always been sheltered—protected by her father, kept pure, untouched. But when his debts to the brutal Bloodmoon Pack come due, he offers her as payment: a virgin omega sold to four ruthless Alpha wolves. Kael – The merciless Alpha Prime. His word is law, and his hunger for her is relentless. Riven – The cold, calculating strategist. He watches, waits, and plans his claim. Jax – The wild, untamed enforcer.

They are monsters in the form of men, and they want her—not just as a possession, but as their mate. Now, Elara is trapped in a world of dark desire, primal instincts, and brutal passion. She’s theirs to claim, to protect… and to ruin. But when her heat hits, will she fight them—or beg for more? Why You’ll Love It: Virgin Omega x Four Dominant Alphas – No choosing, no sharing—just complete possession. Dark Romance – Forced marriage, primal instincts, and a heroine who doesn’t know how much she’ll crave their touch. Possessive, Obsessive Heroes – They don’t just want her body—they want her soul. Omegaverse Heat & Knotting – When her first heat comes, there’s no escape. "You can fight us, little one. But your body was made for ours."

Her birth felt like a curse. When she learned the truth that she should never have existed, Alexa hated herself. Her own body never felt comfortable for her to inhabit.

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs of vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^
