How can six souls be fated to one another? Is it a curse… or something divine? Tara and Taylor Park were born different. Twin sisters without wolves, raised by the Alpha of Regal Star Pack after tragedy tore their family apart. When their eighteenth birthday passes with no shift, no bond, and no sign from the Moon Goddess, the truth becomes impossible to ignore. They were never meant to belong. Then comes the invitation to the Crent Festival, a sacred island where packs from around the world gather to compete, celebrate, and sometimes find their mates. Tara senses danger, and Taylor clings to hope. But what they find instead is destiny at its most terrifying. Alpha Amarok of the ancient Frost Pack and his brother Geri, warriors from the icy north where old magic still breathes, awaken a bond the twins cannot deny. The pull is instant. Consuming. The situation is flawed in every aspect. When the twins try to run, fate tightens its grip. Two more strangers appear, carrying the same impossible scent. The same undeniable connection. Six souls. One bond. The prophecy is as ancient as the moon itself. As packs collide and secrets rise from forgotten bloodlines, the twins must face the truth of what they are and what their bond was created to unleash. Love will test them. War will hunt them. And the magic binding them was never meant to return.

A forbidden obsession that grows out of control Valerius is 34. Nara is 18. ........... When eighteen-year-old Nara Redwell is kidnapped by the ruthless boss of Draven Syndicate, the criminal world holds its breath. She is the only daughter of Redwell, a man feared for his wealth, power, and violent history. But instead of being executed like the others taken before her, Nara is placed under the personal authority of Valerius Draven, the cold and devastatingly disciplined leader of the rival empire. Valerius does not want ransom. He wants leverage. And Nara becomes the pressure point that forces her father into the light. But the more time she spends inside Valerius’ world, the more she learns a truth she was never supposed to see: her father is not the hero she grew up worshipping. His past with the Dravens is darker than she ever imagined, and the war she thought she understood is built on betrayal, blood, and secrets buried under decades of silence. While the syndicates prepare for conflict, Redwell spirals. His fear for Nara blinds him, driving him to make the most catastrophic choice of his life, where he offers his wife as a replacement hostage, willing to trade anyone to get Nara back. His desperation marks the beginning of a violent collapse no one can stop. And in the middle of this unraveling chaos stands Valerius, the man who was supposed to use Nara as a weapon… but instead becomes the only shield she has left. As loyalties fracture, enemies rise, and hidden truths emerge, Nara must decide who the real monster is. The man who stole her freedom, or the father who built her world out of lies. Her choice may destroy one empire… And ignite another. Nara has spent her whole life trying to survive men like her father. Men who believe a woman’s worth is measured by her obedience and her beauty. Valerius Draven. The quiet monster. The only man who never raises his voice but makes entire empires kneel. And now… he is her jailer. Held in an isolated Florida estate that feels more like a velvet cage than a home, Nara is determined to destroy the one thing men want from her, her beauty. If she can make herself undesirable, she can make herself untouchable. But Valerius stops her. He insists she is safe with him. He insists he will not hurt her. He insists she is merely leverage in a war she never asked to be part of. Yet nothing about Valerius feels simple, or safe. The more she pushes, the calmer he becomes. The more she resists, the more he studies her. And beneath all his coldness is a tension she doesn’t understand… and can’t escape. Because Valerius didn’t take her for ransom. He took her for a reason neither of them is ready to admit. Nara knows one truth: Monsters don’t cage what they don’t crave. And Valerius? He never cages anything he plans to let go.

People shunned me, labeling me a defective Alpha long before I understood what that meant. The only person who ever stayed by my side was Alex. We learned how to survive on the streets together—until he couldn’t take it anymore and started selling drugs. Luck had never touched my life. I was the one who got caught. The woman who stopped me was powerful enough to destroy me in her own twisted way. "A spoon," she said. I didn’t understand how it was possible, but she meant to reduce me to a mere spoon. Then she let me go, warning me never to appear in front of her again. But... I was a really, really unlucky person and met her again. And again. Until it became impossible to walk away from her. Being spared by her felt dangerously close to being chosen for something. Despite knowing it would destroy me, I found myself yearning for more of her. I had no one who truly cared about me. Except Alex. So her mercy slowly began to feel like belonging. ***** It's Omegaverse, where Female Alpha's has a dick.

Reader discretion is advised. This is not a lighthearted romance.   Jang Taesoo rules the Aurora Consortium with an iron fist, shaping obedience from those under his control. When the weight of his empire grows stale, he finds escape in Lost in Paradise – a romance novel he knows by heart. However, his obsession lies not with the female lead, but with the five powerful men who fight to win her hand. A dark hunger stirs within him: to take these untouchable titans and mold them entirely to his will. After saving a child from a truck, Taesoo dies – only to awaken before an ancient Entity that reveals his death was an accident. His final focus on the novel has merged his brutal world with the story’s, creating a twisted reality where he still commands his empire… and where the five men exist as living prey. Given the choice to return or stay, Taesoo chooses to remain – boredom is his enemy, and breaking the unbroken is his new obsession. He will shatter the novel’s saccharine romance, tear apart their devotion to the female lead, and forge their strength into submission. Every man is a challenge to be conquered, a soul to be marked, and a heart to be claimed. Can he bend these powerful men to his will, or will their resistance consume him first?

Character Sketches Princess Nyima (The Third Princess) · Age: 22 (19 in the flashback). · Core Identity: The King's most beloved but controversial daughter. A brilliant strategist draped in a reputation for cruelty. She is politically astute, fiercely protective of her brother Tashi, and operates in a shadow world of spies and assassins. · Public Persona: Feared, ruthless, capricious, and arrogant. Known for her talent in literature and art, but also for her violent punishments. · Private Reality: Deeply layered, calculating, and burdened by secrets. Her "cruelty" is often a calculated performance—a shield and a weapon. She saved Kenji not out of mercy, but to secure a fiercely loyal tool. She is emotionally isolated, trusts almost no one, and her actions are consistently aimed at protecting the throne and uncovering conspiracies (like the Ghost Vipers and human trafficking). · Key Motivation: To protect her brother Prince Tashi's path to the throne and the stability of Lumera, while secretly investigating the deep-rooted corruption and external threats facing the kingdom. · Contradiction: Her harsh exterior vs. the unspoken care she shows (e.g., punishing Kenji preemptively to save him from the Dowager, her silent disappointment when he doesn't speak). Kenji · Age: 20 (17 in the flashback). · Core Identity: Nyima's personal guard, a former suspect in the General's massacre, "reborn" through her intervention. His loyalty is a transaction for his life, but it has evolved into something deeper and more conflicted. · Public Persona: The silent, obedient shadow. Perceived as a victim of the Princess's brutality, a dog on a leash. · Private Reality: Possesses exceptional physical resilience (resisted Nightshade Bloom poison). He is observant, emotionally intense, and desperately seeking purpose and genuine acknowledgment from Nyima. He is tormented by his past, his undefined role, and his growing, forbidden devotion. His loyalty is absolute, but he yearns for her trust. · Key Motivation: To prove his loyalty and worth to Nyima, to understand her true intentions, and to find his place in a world that once condemned him. · Contradiction: His vow of silent obedience vs. his impulsive acts to protect her (confronting the Queen), which come from a place beyond duty. Synopsis: Princess Nyima is the king's favourite, but also the most feared. People see a cruel princess. But in secret, she fights a deadly enemy—the Ghost Vipers, who are kidnapping her people. Her only helper is Kenji, her guard. She saved his life, and now he serves her loyally. He gets her harsh punishments, but also sees her hidden plans. When Kenji is caught by the Ghost Vipers, their leader tells him a shocking secret about his own past. Kenji is not who he thinks. He might be the Vipers' future weapon. Now Kenji must decide: stay loyal to the princess who saved him, or follow the bloody path of his true identity.

He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing.
