possessive

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] ____ He needed a wife to save his empire. She needed a job to save herself. What they didn’t need… was each other. *** Stephanie Anderson only wanted a job. What she got was a marriage proposal from hell. Oliver Hayes — the cold, arrogant CEO every magazine calls the city’s most untouchable bachelor — looked her straight in the eye and said: “You will be my wife.” No flowers. No romance. Just a contract. He claimed it was business — a rumor threatened his empire, and the only way to protect his company was to have a devoted wife by his side. The rules were simple: play the perfect, loving bride, deny all accusations and do not fall in love with him. But living under the same roof as the man who drives her insane? Pretending to love the very person who makes her blood boil? The longer Stephanie plays this dangerous game, the more she realizes two things— One: Oliver Hayes is far more complicated than the heartless CEO the world sees. Two: She might just break the most important rule of all. And when feelings start to blur the lines of their contract, walking away won’t be so easy. [This cover is not mine.

The Wrong Twin, The Right Mate She was never meant to exist. Hidden at birth and erased from prophecy, Nyx Vale was the twin the kingdom forgot—a shadow girl sealed away while her sister Liora was raised to be queen. But on the night the Lycan King arrives to claim his fated mate, the bond doesn’t choose the golden princess. It chooses Nyx. Now the invisible twin is thrust into the spotlight of a court built on lies, her existence breaking treaties, alliances, and hearts. The goddess’s bond should have united kingdoms—but instead, it exposes forbidden bloodlines, buried magic, and a prophecy that warns twins will divide the realm in fire and storm. As war brews between crown and temple, Nyx must navigate a mate who would burn kingdoms for her. Still, he is told he must marry her sister to save his throne, a sister who feels betrayed enough to raise an army, and a prophecy that marks Nyx’s unborn heirs as the kingdom’s salvation or its ruin. From hidden catacombs to moonlit battlefields, The Wrong Twin, The Right Mate is a sweeping saga of passion, power, and prophecy. Every chapter brims with danger, betrayal, and magnetic romance between a fierce warrior born of shadow and the king’s fate, sworn she could never have. When the final moon rises, one truth will decide their world: The bond never chose wrong—it chose the one strong enough to survive it.

A lonely girl was deceived into being captured by a race of powerful winged mages to give birth to their kids.

Intro  Welcome to the universe of syrinxes - winged vampires, a multi-gender community.

The story begins with the first book, The Syrinxes of Zaria. The action takes place on an abandoned colony seven years away by space ship from the main stronghold of the planet Xantari, ruled by five ancient Archons.

I’ve been dreaming of him for months. Always the same stone walls. Always the same firelight. Always him. He calls me witch. He asks the same questions over and over, voice low, controlled, and cruel. His hand is always near the blade at his hip. I can never see his face clearly, only the glint of brown-golden eyes watching me like I’m both the danger and the temptation. Every dream leaves me trembling. I wake with my heart beating too fast, wrists aching as if I’ve truly been bound, the scent of smoke clinging to my skin. And still… I want to fall asleep again. Because fear isn’t the only thing I feel when he looks at me. Somewhere under the terror, there’s hunger. I tell myself I’m losing my mind. That the dreams mean nothing. That there’s no such man, no such eyes, no such voice that could undo me like that. Until I see him. Alive. Real. Breathing. A face in a glowing screen, a stranger’s profile and it’s him. The man from my nightmares. The one who calls me a witch, the one who makes my heart twist with a kind of ancient ache. He’s not wearing a uniform now. No blood, no chains. Just tattoos, shadows, and a smirk that feels like déjà vu. My world stumbles. The room spins. I don’t know why I dream of him. I don’t know why the air tastes the same when I see his face. I only know that I can’t look away, and that somewhere, deep in my bones, I can already hear his voice again. The same words that have haunted every dream: “Tell me what you are.”

She thought a contract was just business. He called it a FUCKAHOLIC contract... pleasure without promises, desire without attachment. I was supposed to keep my distance, stay professional, and survive the mess he called “fun.” But Aec didn’t play by the rules.

With no money, no backup, and no way out, Jace makes a reckless joke: "What if I pay with my body?" He doesn't expect Damien's quiet smile. He doesn't expect the door to lock behind him.

“She was promised to a prince. But taken by a monster who calls himself king.” In a realm ruled by blood and empire, twenty-four kingdoms bow to one throne — and at the center of it sits Emperor Zareth Ravaryn, a vampire older than most dynasties, cold as obsidian, and feared as much as he is obeyed. Princess Serenya of Vayrana was never meant to catch his eye. Gentle. Devoted. Already betrothed to the human prince she loved from afar. But one imperial ceremony changed everything. When the Emperor sees her — veiled in gold, eyes full of light — he names her his future Empress. She refuses. He doesn’t ask twice. Now torn from her homeland and chained in silk and duty, Serenya finds herself in a court of shadows, where power is worn like perfume and secrets drip from every whispered bow. But Zareth is not just the monster she feared. He is obsessed. And his obsession doesn’t break... it consumes. As the blood empire trembles under rebellion, forbidden longing ignites between captive and captor, and the girl who once dreamt of love must decide: Will she fight for her freedom— or burn for his throne? Dark fantasy meets imperial seduction in this slow-burn vampire romance — with original lore, dangerous rituals, forbidden love, and a heroine who was never meant to kneel. Welcome to the Empire of Thorns. Where love is a game only monsters win. #bookone of The Empire of Thorns series --- Excerpt. A man stood before her. Not just any man. The man. Eyes like twin flames. Lips curled into a knowing smirk. A voice like thunder dipped in velvet. "And who might you be, little dove?" Zareth purred. Serenya's heart slammed against her ribs. "I-I'm... I was just—" "Lost?" he finished for her, his tone mocking yet oddly amused. She nodded, clutching her veil tighter. His eyes trailed down the curve of her figure, and then back to her eyes. "You're not from around here," he said, though he already knew. "I'm from Vayrana," she managed, voice barely above a whisper. His grin widened. "That explains the veil. So well-behaved. So sweet." He stepped closer, and she instinctively backed up—until her back hit the wall. "Running off alone into a palace full of monsters... either you're braver than you look, or dumber," he drawled, eyes gleaming. Her eyes widened at the insult, but something in his tone kept her frozen. "I didn't mean to be disrespectful—" "Oh, but you weren't," he interrupted. "In fact, you've just made this entire evening… interesting." He reached out, adjusting the edge of her veil with a gentleness that contradicted his deadly aura. "What's your name, dove?" She hesitated. "Your name," he repeated, voice darker now. "I don't ask twice." "Serenya," she whispered. He leaned in, mouth brushing close to her ear. "Serenya," he repeated, tasting it. "Pretty name. Suits you." Then, as quickly as he came, he stepped back. The moment shattered. "Go on now, little dove. Before your father comes searching."

He rejected me in front of them all. But if I’m going to die, I’m going to die on my own terms. Allison's smile faltered. “You think you can trick us?” “I’m weak to the point I can die anytime, why don’t you give me a chase?... It will be more thrilling for you.” My words were barely a whisper. “But to give you that thrill you have to give me a half an hour headstart.” ‘Yeah, I know it sounds stupid, with little to no chance of surviving. At least it was better than being mauled to death here… And I want to see if Damon would be able to watch the werewolves hunt me down. We had a deep bond even before the mate pull. I won’t accept his rejection yet… I want to drive him crazy to the point he will lose all his sanity.’ “No, you don’t have the right to negotiate with us.” One of them growled in his wolf form. “I’m not negotiating…” I spat out blood, and my face turned pale from the amount of blood I was losing. “I’m only enforcing the law… The law of hunting as punishment for a traitor… and I happen to be one.” Damon blinked slowly and finally answered. “Let her run.” His voice didn’t carry any weight. It was just cold, and empty, and detached like none of this mattered, like I didn’t matter. ‘So this was his decision… after everything we have been through.’ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Ember opened her eyes, she was no longer the powerful, independent CEO she once was. Instead, she woke up in the fragile, abused body of a lowly Omega, destined to be nothing but a breeder for the Alphas. Her escape attempt didn’t get her far. Instead, it led her straight into the path of Damon Blackthorn, the ruthless Lycan King feared by all. Sold like a slave by her own father, Ember becomes the property of a man with a frozen heart and a violent temper. But beneath her submissive mask lies something more: a cunning mind and a will that refuses to break. Now, in a world ruled by dominance, power, and ancient bloodlines, Ember must do more than just survive. She must outsmart a king. She must earn the loyalty of the very people who scorn her. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll bring the Alpha to his knees.
