Beyond the forest, exile becomes awakening as the Moon Goddess blesses her with power forged through pain and survival.

She was his dead brother's mate. By tradition, she now belonged to him. It was an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. All she had to do was be his breeder, part her legs and bear him sons. But Prince Ruin was cruel. And every day was a rejection from Ruin, a constant humiliation ritual to remind her once more that she was nothing but a warm c*nt and a womb to bear his children. One day, after a betrayal too jarring to bear, Guinevere Laurent decided she'd had enough. She abandoned her duties as Princess and fled from her mad groom under a different identity, with a secret she hoped no one else would discover. Only to get run over by a popular billionaire Alpha, Draven, who had been in town for a visit. Five years later, Guinevere is a stable business owner and engaged to Alpha Draven who treats her like she is his world. But Ruin won't have it that his bride got away from him. When he finally finds Guinevere after five long years of searching, it is at the wedding altar, about to be bound to another man, and with a little boy with fangs, calling her "Mom." And Ruin does the only thing that seems right in his books. He abducts his runaway breeder from her wedding. "Forgive me, Vi," he says. I tilt my head. "Get on your knees." He sinks to his knees, gazing up at me with hooded eyes as I strut over to where he kneels. I delve my fingers into his hair and push him down to my heels. "Kiss my feet." His head lowers, but instead, he grips my calves and brings his lips between my legs. "How about I kiss you here instead?" His mouth brushes against my heat. "Will you forgive me then?" Warning: The male lead is both the villain and the hero. There will be other men you ship with the female lead out of fear for her life and mental health. But Ruin is a constant you must get used to. Because he's always there. Ruin is essential in the way Chaos is, and if there is one thing I promise you, it is that you will come to crave him, too. Because normal is boring. This is a dark, erotic romance. Open it at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now that you've decided to ignore my warning, please, by all means, enjoy. Additional warning: The book's development may seem slow for the first few chapters. But the first volume is an explanation of why, an expression of what happened before. The book properly begins in the second volume "Rebirth".

Lyra was rejected by the Alpha she was fated to bond with, left humiliated and unclaimed in a palace where obedience is law. But fate gives her a second chance, a chance to survive, grow stronger, and defy the rules set against her. Living under Kael’s watchful eyes, she trains in secret, hones her skills, and tests the limits of the dangerous mate bond between them. Every move risks exposure, and every heartbeat reminds her that the Alpha is always near. In a palace of power, defiance, and temptation, Lyra must master herself before the bond, and Kael, claims her.

"I, Marcus Blackthorn, reject you as my mate." Those words shattered me three months ago. In front of everyone. Because I couldn't shift. Because I was "defective." I ran. I survived. I became something none of them could have imagined. Now I'm Luna Ghost. Undefeated. Untouchable. I just met my true mate, Kael Nightshade, the Prime Alpha who makes other Alphas submit. He doesn't know I'm the rejected Ashwood daughter. He just knows I'm his. He doesn't share. My old pack is calling. They need me now that I'm powerful. Marcus is on his knees. He says rejecting me was his biggest mistake. My family wants me back. On their terms. I'm done being theirs. I have my own pack now. My own power. A mate who would burn the world down for me. They wanted me weak. They're about to learn what a mistake that was. Because the girl they rejected? She's about to become their Queen. MOON'S REJECTED QUEEN!

In a werewolf pack that despised weakness, Aphrodite learned to survive by staying quiet, keeping her head down, and enduring cruelty in silence. The Alpha heirs hated her. The future Beta and Gamma made her life unbearable. When she finally breaks and seeks freedom at the Moon Goddess temple, she does not find release. She finds truth. Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate. The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all. As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path. Love does not come in one form. Neither does power. In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected. Not a queen. But the axis upon which the world turns.

When his estranged family meets a tragic end, Chase suddenly finds himself in charge of the sprawling Sterling fortune. Turns out, riches aren't the only thing the family left him. There's a curse running through his blood, warping love into something hungry and dangerous, impossible to escape. Vivian Ashford never set out to blow Chase's life to smithereens.

While Vivian soaks up the Hollywood limelight and collects red-carpet headlines, Chase slips into his new role as Manhattan's most intimidating heir. But no matter how far they run, something keeps yanking them back together, like a stitch in an old wound that refuses to heal.

They wanted a villain. So I became one. {Readers discretion (R 18+} In my first life, I was abused, used, and finally murdered. Was it because I made a mistake? No. The only mistake I made was being too kind and foolish. Because of that, people took advantage of me. When I died, they thought that was the end, but it wasn’t.

The same men who watched me fall now want to mark me as their mates. Do they really think I’ll forgive them?

Samantha noticed that Donathan had strikingly captivating eyes, a rarity she had never encountered before, despite having seen many attractive men. His thick, sharp eyebrows, his lips. Every line of his face and every small expression had a natural, almost dangerous charm that kept her staring. Even his anger seemed to make him more attractive, turning him into a picture of wild beauty she couldn’t look away from.

As his brother begins to notice the damage Xavier leaves behind, cracks form in the perfect image he’s built. By the time Xavier understands what he’s lost, it may already be too late. Some bets ruin lives. Some love stories were never meant to survive.

The words hung in the air between us. I looked down, following his gaze, and saw it, the unmistakable bulge pressed against his pants, hard and straining. My pheromones. They were affecting him. "I would like to take you up on your offer," he muttered, his voice rugged, tipping into ravenous. Confusion whirled through me. "What offer?" "The kiss," he whispered. "Not a peck, Thea." My heart ceased beating, liquid fire filling my veins. "I want tongue.” — Dark paranormal romance Morally Grey ML Forced proximity Captor/Captive ENEMIES to lovers Fated mates Angst Smut

At eighteen, while most are just starting to dream, I was living two lives. By morning, a BBA student; by afternoon, a diligent clerk in a high-stakes Ahmedabad office. I promised my cold, intimidating manager I could "manage everything," but I didn't count on the office politics, a charming advisor with secrets of his own, and a sudden change in power. After months of being the invisible student, I traded my files for a red saree, finally forcing the man behind the desk to see the woman I had become.

I escaped the Nightfall Empire with nothing but a torn dress, a broken heart, and a secret powerful enough to get me killed. I’m an omega. A low-born omega. Weak. Unwanted. A nobody who had no right to dream of the most feared man on the continent. Lycan King Kael Vaelor Blackthorne. He rejected me before the entire empire. Called me worthless.

Fated mates are supposed to be sacred. Rejection is supposed to break them. When Elara Moonveil is publicly rejected by her Alpha mate, she loses everything—her pack, her future, and the life the Moon promised her. But the bond does not break.
