A luxury-obsessed modern woman, Lavayla Kingsley, wakes up in a brutal beast world with nothing but her pajamas, her tote bag… and a mouthy system that roasts her more than it helps. At first, she was sure it was a dream — clinging to denial. But that illusion shatters the moment she stumbles across an abandoned beast baby in the forest… right as a monstrous python slithers in to make it a snack. Lavayla — who has only ever witnessed violence through a screen — does the most human thing possible: she panics, and saves the kid anyway, at the cost of her life. That one reckless, heroic, absolutely-what-were-you-thinking act binds her fate to the Beastworld forever… because the baby she rescued just so happens to be the nephew of one of the fiercest, most powerful, and most desired Beastmen on the continent. And now? That terrifying uncle wants to know who the strange human woman cradling his bloodline is. Now she’s stuck juggling a sarcastic survival system with questionable morals, a beastbaby who somehow counts as her “first mission,” territory wars, beastman politics, and man-eating creatures. But Lavayla Kingsley is nothing if not stubborn — and if the universe thinks dropping her into a savage world with no good food, no proper shelter, no shower, no proper clothing, no wifi, and no will to live is enough to break her? Hell fucking yes it is! Someone get her out of here, please!

One reckless night, one masked stranger, one broken condom. Ordinary office worker Tanya gets drunk at her cheating ex’s engagement party and wakes up in the penthouse suite of the most powerful man alive: Noctis Lysander, the ruthless Lycan King who rules both the human financial world and the hidden werewolf empire. She thinks it’s a one-night mistake she can bury forever. Three months later, two pink lines say otherwise—and the baby she’s carrying is no ordinary child. It’s the future heir to the Moon Throne. Noctis never planned to take a human mate. He especially never planned to be bound for life to a clumsy, sharp-tongued girl who blushes at the sight of his abs. But the mate bond doesn’t care about plans, and neither does the ancient prophecy that says only this child can stop the coming blood moon war. Now Tanya is dragged into a world of packs, politics, and possessive alphas. Everyone wants the baby—or wants it dead. To survive, she’ll have to outsmart scheming she-wolves, royal assassins, and worst of all… the icy king who swears he’ll never love her, even as he burns the world down to keep her safe.

How hard can that be? ********** "How many?" I froze. Did he expect me to count? "How. Many?" "I-I don't—Ah!" Ares spanked me again, continuously. My eyes stung, and sweet pain overtook me. I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning.

This is not a made-up story. It is the footprint of a love that hurt more than it shone, a broken mirror where I learned to recognize myself, and a wound that spoke even when I couldn't. What you are going to read is born of true emotions: a toxic love, an unseen love, a feeling so intense that it ended up becoming a silent obsession. Welcome to the story of a brief but devastating connection with a narcissist. Told from the voice of the one who was manipulated and from the rebirth of someone who decided to choose again. Hopefully these pages are a beacon for those who feel that they are getting lost in someone else, for those who begin to notice signs that hurt, for those who need a hand to get out. Here you will find fragments written in the midst of the chaos, notes kept in tears, and the testimony of a heart that learned to say "enough." Because no one deserves so much that we turn off our own light. Now take a deep breath. What you are about to read is not comfortable, soft, nor beautiful. But if you ever loved someone who shouldn't be loved... you will recognize yourself in every line. And maybe - just maybe - this story will give you back something you lost: yourself

My engagement ended in humiliation. One moment, I was the bride-to-be. Next, my fiancé was slipping a ring onto another woman’s finger—nope, not just anyone, my half-sister! And the whole city watched. So I did the unthinkable. I kissed the one man I was never supposed to touch—his aloof, very hot, useless uncle. Dominic Fletcher. It was supposed to be revenge.

Until he stole my bra and with it, my senses… and my already fragile heart. “Give it back!” I demanded, reaching for my bra, but he only lifted it higher. “I’ll keep this as a memento, Kitten,” he murmured, eyes dark, voice dangerously seductive. But Dominic Fletcher was far from useless. Behind the nonchalant façade was a ruthless power only I had glimpsed. And now, he wants to help me take my revenge— “Marry me, sweetness,” Dominic rasped, gaze sharp as steel. “I’ll make everyone who offended you a foot mat. What do you say?” How could I say no? I’d do anything to make that worthless, piece-of-shit scumbag ex lose sleep for the rest of his life and become his worst nightmare. So I said yes—to his uncle. I became his aunt-in-law. Then I returned, victorious and unbroken. My family pleaded for me to forgive them. My ex-fiancé fell to his knees, clutching my hand. “Let’s start again, Harper,” he begged. “You’re the only one I cherish...”
