Why was i the one being punished like this? Another skilled finger found my clit, rubbing tight, frantic circles. I didn't know which was one of them was doing it as Kieran's pace inside me wasn't slowing and my body was jerking helplessly with every thrust.

At Montecello High, a school divided by power, secrets, and supernatural bloodlines heart was Kianna Martin, a Luna student who never wanted attention—until she caught the eyes of two dangerous men: Maddox Bianchi, the possessive and prideful Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, and Mordred Sinclair, the fearless and magnetic leader of the Black Vipers biker gang.

At the school gala, Athena made her grand entrance in the black net dress Rhydric had bought for her. The gown clung to her like a second skin, sheer black net layered over a fitted underdress that hugged every curve without apology. The neckline dipped dangerously… only half her boobs are hidden. The attention shifted the instant she entered. Head turned. Conversations died down immediately. Athena didn't care one bit, instead her eyes scanned the hall, searching for her four handsome men, and she found them already staring. No, not just staring. Devouring. Eryx let out a low breath. “Fuck you, Rhydric,” he muttered, eyes glued to her. “Why would you get her a dress like that?” Rhydric didn’t answer right away. He moved, setting his glass down on the table with an annoying calm. A slow, satisfied smile curved his lips. “That's because, I know what suits my girl best.” he said smoothly, clearly pleased with himself. "Corrections...our girl." Azrael corrected as he drank from his glass. Rhydric ignored his brothers and ignored the countless stares…some stunned, some jealous, some openly resentful. Rhydric closed the distance between them. His hand slid up, and his fingers curled possessively around her neck, without warning he crashed his lips onto hers. Athena gasped, the sound melting into the kiss, and then she smiled against his mouth. Rhydric’s kiss was dark and possessive. It wasn’t gentle at all. In fact, it's the opposite of that. His lips moved hungrily against hers, like a man starving for years. Azrael looked away. Then back again. He shouldn’t be jealous anymore. He knew that. Still…he couldn’t help it. Theodore, on the other hand, smiled, fully satisfied. Waiting patiently for his turn. Eryx rolled his eyes so hard they almost fell out of his head. When the kiss still hadn’t ended, he strode toward them, voice low, almost a growl. “Alright... you've had enough.” Rhydric kissed her a little longer, just to be cruel, before finally releasing her. Athena was all flushed and breathless. Her lips were swollen. Eryx didn’t give her a second to recover. He slammed his lips onto hers, one hand gripped her waist, the other grabbing her ass without hesitation. Athena moaned into his mouth, but the loud music swallowed the sound whole. Eryx pulled back slightly, just enough to smile against her lips, utterly satisfied. He knew she was going to make him pay for that later. And he was all in. Azrael watched, jealousy twisting sharp and unwanted in his chest, but the sight was so damn hot that he felt his little brother twitch. And that was it. His patience snapped. He stood, crossed the space in seconds, yanked Eryx away from Athena, fisted his hand in her hair, and kissed her hard. Athena thought she might actually die. Her knees nearly buckled. She was already dripping wet. Her panties literally soaked. Oh…Fuck them. Fuck them all. Around them, the students stared. Jealousy burning through them. Azrael kissed her until he was satisfied, then finally pulled back. Athena was red as a tomato. He smirked. “You look wrecked...Viper." She slapped his chest and glared up at him. “Shut up...That's all of you fault.” Rhydric and Eryx only smiled. She pushed Azrael back slightly and looked past him. Then she saw Theodore. He was sitting on the table, legs spread wide. One hand tapped lazily against the surface, the other resting on his lap. When their eyes met, he smiled. But beneath that smile, was barely restrained hunger. The three of them had already ruined her enough. He hadn’t wanted to add to it. But, Athena didn’t like that at all. She’d been waiting for his kiss too. So she walked toward him instead. Theo’s jaw clenched the moment she got close. She climbed onto him without hesitation, sitting directly on his little brother. He groaned, arms wrapping around her waist. Before his lips met hers, he murmured teasingly, “Fuck Athena..." without warning he slammed his lips on hers. discord: thaymi_1

He doesn’t know why this was happening. His body and mind are clashing again, like they always do whenever they do this. “I am not some weak omega who is going to present to you simply because you were once mated to me. I am not going to submit to you. You are not my alpha.” Gods, how he wishes he could give in just this once. He can already feel the slick trickling down his thighs. Soiling his jeans.

[MATURE BL OMEGAVERSE] Griffin Mafia, the strongest group among the other mafias in Dormania. A country famous for having 60% of its population belonging to the mafia. Their leader is known to be quite mysterious and intelligent, Alastair Vale. Not many people have ever seen the dominant Alpha. But they are certain that he is a terrified cold hearted man who will get whatever he wants. At the same time, Alastair finds himself drawn to an Omega he often sees standing near a bus stop not far from a university, Noel Ashford. The only Omega who doesn't seem afraid of him at all and instead appears bold enough to answer his every word. "You think I'm weak just because I'm an Omega? Let me tell you something, Mr. Vale..." "Feisty Omega." 'Fuck, he turns me on.' A smirk appeared on the Alpha's face every time the Omega defied his words. Although love eventually blossomed between the Alpha and the Omega, reality would never allow them to live peacefully behind the gunfire. "I won't let you see Vale again! You will never be allowed to leave this mansion for any reason, let alone to see him. Not now and not ever!" "He's not as bad as you think! He's just—" Regis, Noel's older brother, glared at him with a sharp gaze and a face flushed with anger. "ALASTAIR IS A MURDERER!"

“Alpha Troy! Over here!” I yelled, raising my hand for help. I was under attack by a monster while saving my mates. The four of them heard me cry out as the creature clawed me and slammed me against the wall. “Help me!” I gasped, but their attention shifted when a soft cry came from the other side. It was Oriana, the gentle princess and a warrior, a combination most men lusted after. But not my mates. They were in my troupe, my friends, my lovers. We shared a bed, a bond. I knew they would save me. “Ohhh! I’m going to die,” she whimpered again, though she could have stood up easily. The monster’s focus was on me. “Yorick!” I screamed, reaching for another of my mates, struggling to escape, my leg tangled in silver chains. My mates looked at me and then at her—and I saw it. The shine of love in their eyes. In a heartbeat, they ran to her. My heart slowed. Tears welled up. Oriana had warned me: when it came down to it, they would choose her. She told me they only used me to pass time in the dorm room because I agreed for gangbang while other she-wolves did not. And now, right before my eyes, they were leaping into battle—for her. “We’ll come back for you, don’t worry,” Haiden shouted, as if that erased the betrayal. At that moment, the monster turned back to me. And I knew there would be no saving me. So I prayed they’d live long enough to regret their choice. --- Clementine had spent her life as the insufferable daughter of an alpha—tough, rebellious, and uninterested in love, especially in a world where male wolves were allowed multiple mates.

What Comes After is a dark, emotionally grounded M/M contemporary romance set in the world of New York old money, power, and legacy. A continuation of the Between Masks series, this novel explores love after secrecy, intimacy under pressure, and the emotional cost of choosing each other in elite social circles where image is everything. Noah Wellin and Atlas Sterlins were raised to succeed, not to feel. Private academies. Prestigious universities. A world built on restraint, control, and expectation. In Between Masks, desire broke through years of silence and distance. In What Comes After, the real test begins. The secret is gone. The masks have slipped. And now the consequences arrive. Family legacies don’t disappear with love. Reputation doesn’t loosen its grip. Power still demands sacrifice. Choosing each other once was instinct. Choosing each other again—and again—becomes a decision with weight. This is not a story about falling in love. It’s a story about staying. About what happens when intimacy is no longer hidden. When love becomes visible—and therefore vulnerable. When two men trained to control everything must learn how to live without armor. Told with quiet intensity and emotional precision, What Comes After explores: love after secrecy commitment under pressure legacy, power, and consequence intimacy without escape routes the daily work of choosing each other two men learning how to live without masks This final installment in the Between Masks series doesn’t promise fantasy or easy resolutions. It offers something rarer: an honest look at love after the collision—when what remains must be real. Because choosing each other is only the beginning. What comes after is everything.

Ember Ashford is broken goods in a world that worships strength. Born wolfless in a society ruled by shifters, she's spent nineteen years as her pack's punching bag—including her own father's. When he dies and her mother remarries into the legendary Crimson Moon Pack, Ember thinks her nightmare might finally end. She's wrong. Her new stepbrothers are the pack's elite: Kael, the ruthless future Alpha with eyes like winter storms; Damon, the dangerous enforcer whose cruelty is an art form; and Asher, the charming Beta whose smile hides calculated games. They're gorgeous, powerful, and united in one belief—she doesn't belong in their world. The bullying starts immediately. Cruel words. Public humiliation. "Reminders" that she's weak, worthless, wolfless. Ember takes it all silently, just like she's been trained to do. She'll survive this. She always does. But something shifts the night another pack member corners her in the training hall. Suddenly, Kael's hand is at the wolf's throat, murder in his eyes. "Touch her again, and I'll rip out your spine." When a rival Alpha shows interest in Ember at the inter-pack gathering, Damon marks her neck with a possessive bite that isn't quite a claim but definitely a warning. When boys from her college try to ask her out, Asher appears from nowhere, all dangerous charm: "Our sister has higher standards than desperate mutts." Their sister. Right. Except the way they look at her—hungry, conflicted, burning—has nothing to do with family. "We can bully her," Kael growls at a pack warrior who dared call Ember names. "But no one else touches what belongs to us." Belongs to them? Ember isn't anyone's property. But when she discovers she's not actually wolfless—she's something far more dangerous, something that was sealed away to protect her—everything changes. The brothers who tormented her suddenly have competition: powerful Alphas who want to claim the rare Omega whose bloodline could change the shifter world forever. Now Kael, Damon, and Asher face an impossible choice: let Ember go to worthy mates who could give her everything... or break every taboo to keep the girl who was never supposed to be theirs. Too bad for everyone else. These wolves don't share. And forbidden never tasted this good.
