Trinity (A Werewolf Novel) ✔

[Completed] Every Wolf Moon, humans are selected from each village to be sacrificed to the werewolves; creatures worshipped by humans as godlike figures. In a twist of fate, seventeen year old Mila Young is selected to be the annual sacrifice for the Trinity pack, the most powerful pack ruled by King Alpha Roman Stone.

Alpha Roman and all werewolves under his rule are cursed. His hatred for the humans and his war on the deity Moon Goddesses has caused his kind to lose the favor of their blessings.

However, when Mila reveals herself to have a connection to the werewolves unlike anything a human has ever had before, it becomes apparent that she may be the key to ending the suffering of Roman and his wolves... if only he can overcome the lifelong hatred that clouds his mind and darkens his heart.

Excerpt:

"You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry.

"I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time.

"And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?"

I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on.

When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer.

"Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer.

"You smell like... my mate."

"You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants.

Solienne

Solienne (n.) - a name evoking sunlight after ruin; the quiet resilience of something lost, yet still burning.

Isabella Moretti was kidnapped when she was three years old.

She doesn't remember the brothers who loved her. And they don't know the girl she's become.

Living under a new name in a quiet city, Isabella is a survivor-sharp-eyed, secretive, and always prepared to run. But when she transfers to a prestigious academy, two of the school's most feared students take notice: Antonio and Francesco Moretti. Cold, calculating, untouchable-until now.

They don't know why they're drawn to her. Why she feels like something familiar. Why their guarded silence begins to crack around her laugh, her pain, her presence.

They have no idea she's the sister they've mourned for years.

And Isabella? She has no idea she's walking straight back into the family that never stopped searching.

Solienne is a story of blood that remembers, even when memory doesn't-of lost things finding their way home, and love that endures even when the truth is buried in silence.

His pace quickens, and I match it instinctively, hips rolling, back arching. Each thrust punches a breath from my lungs.

"Luciano," I whisper, rocking frenetically my hips to meet his rhythm. "We need to be quick. They're gonna come out-any second-"

His dark eyes flash up at me, pupils blown wide with lust and his grip tightens under my ass, lifting me slightly so he can thrust deeper, faster.

"Then be quiet. Or don't. Let them hear how their good little Paris lets me fuck her like a whore during a family gathering."

The Beast

To the world he was a beast but for her he would do anything.
He could have the world but all he wanted was her.
They say the things we want most are the things we can't have.
For she was so afraid of him that even the thought of him could have her running for the hills.
Little did she know that she was the only one who didn't have to be afraid of him.

Shaded Soldiers || Gay MxM || Omegaverse

Riley, a young omega trying to free himself from an abusive family, joins the military to fight criminal alphas who are enslaving his kind, but he finds much more than just his freedom: his new family.

***

Riley Steele, a skilled omega soldier, is ready to do whatever it takes to get accepted into Special Operations Unit set to fight domestic terrorists: alphas who are trying to bring back times when omegas were considered broodmares and slaves. This unit hasn't accepted omegas in years, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of his determination.

What choice does he have? He's safe from his abusive family if he stays in the army, but the infantry is infested with alphas who see him as nothing but a toy, so he must grow stronger to protect himself. The path forward brings him more abuse by alphas who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in the army, but it's too late to turn back now after everything he's already endured to get there.

His wish finally comes true, and is allowed to join the unit with a promise his life will be hell, and the people he should be afraid of are not the terrorists... No... It's his allies he can't trust.

Pushed to his breaking point, Riley joins Tactical Team 07, a team of ten alphas, fearing he's made the biggest mistake of his life. But perhaps these alphas are different. Perhaps his new captain is as kind and caring as he seems. Perhaps his new partner doesn't actually hate his guts like he pretends.

And perhaps he has found his new family, his brothers, and with them, he might even learn he no longer wants to fight just to protect himself, but to protect his country and the freedom of all omegas.

Vampire's Pet

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought

In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story.

Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor.

The poorest lives held a much worse fate.

The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets.

Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady.

I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones.

Was.

It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his.

This is my life. I am a pet.

Mahi' Journey

[18+]
________
Ri-y-ansh... j... ji..." she gasped, her voice a broken moan. Hearing his name on her lips, a primal surge ripped through Riyansh.

 He pulled out with a powerful, almost violent force, then plunged back inside her, thrusting harder, deeper. Mahi cried out, the intensity too much to bear, but Riyansh swallowed her cry with his mouth, kissing her with a dark, raw possessiveness.

 He moved faster and harder, her body clenching tightly around him, urging him on. "Take me fully, Mahi," he growled, his voice guttural with desire. "Let me fill you, completely."

The Baby Contract

"How much do they want?" I asked, as the maid poured us another round of whisky.

"They're prepared to make negotiations on the price, Alpha. They need the money." Boris, my beta, sipped his drink.

"What about the girl?" I sighed, leaning back in my chair and placing my hands behind my head.  "Where is she ranked in the pack?"

"She's a maid. However, Alpha Orion stated that the girl satisfies health requirements. She will give you a strong heir."

---

Theo Stormblade, the Alpha of the Kingdom's most feared, strongest pack. When his mate died five years ago, he became cold, heartless, and distant from his pack. Different from the open, kind, extroverted leader he once was. When his cabinet of elders approached him about finding another mate, he disagreed, negotiating only to produce an heir.

Millie Rose was born into the Eclipse pack, one of the poorest, smallest packs in the entire Kingdom.  She was left an orphan and a maid after her parents, who were once among the strongest fighters in her pack, suddenly passing away when she was fourteen years old.

When the Eclipse pack hears about Alpha Theo's hunt for a surrogate, they quickly reach out and make a deal, offering Millie to the well-feared Alpha in exchange for some cash. Will Millie be able to escape the life of a maid at last, and will Theo be able to change his heart after losing his beloved mate?

But here was Koa and all his glory.

Revenant

noun: one who returns, especially from the dead or a long absence

They lost her once. They'll burn the world to get her back.
Cecilia Bonetti has spent her life locked away in a care home - isolated, overlooked, and surviving in silence. What she doesn't know is that five powerful men have been searching for her since the day she vanished... and they're her brothers. As the feared leaders of the Bonetti mafia, they believed Cecilia was gone forever. Until now.

But blood has memory. And when sunshine slips into their dark world, even the coldest hearts begin to crack. They'll fight to keep their composure - ruthless, untouchable - but with Cecilia back, staying cold might be the hardest battle they've ever faced.


The Little Thief || Gay MxM || Omegaverse

Joni, a young homeless omega, has to steal in order to survive, but one heist gone wrong turns his friends against him, and only the mafia - and a certain kind alpha - can keep him safe.

*****

An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can't pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they're not true mates.

And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over.

At least there's a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he'd find, but he's kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so he decides to give him a chance. Maybe it doesn't always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it - if you give it an opportunity to grow.


𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝

In a world where power is everything, the Shekhawat men rule from the shadows-ruthless, untouchable, and hidden behind the façade of billion-dollar empires. Their secrets are buried deep, their sins masked behind tailored suits and cold stares. No one dares to cross them.

Until they do.

Yashika, Meher, Trisha, and Tanishka-four women bound to the Shekhawat brothers by fate, deception, and secrets too dangerous to unveil. Each step they take, each vow they make, pulls them deeper into a world where love is a weapon and loyalty is a curse.

Yashika fights against a marriage that was never meant to be hers.
Meher walks a thin line between silence and rebellion.
Trisha plays a game even she isn't sure she can win.
Tanishka, the wildcard, is the one threat they never saw coming.

But in a world where betrayal is inevitable and love is a dangerous illusion-who will survive, and who will burn?


Mis(s)matched: Redemption

Vedha was holding her baby in her arms, her back resting against the inclined hospital bed adjusted for her comfort. The baby was nursing at her breast, tiny gulps filling the quiet room. Slowly, she leaned forward and kissed the baby's forehead. She touched her daughter's tiny hands and feet, still in disbelief that this life had been growing inside her just hours ago-and now, here she was, her newborn nestled in her arms, suckling gently, a moment of pure, painful beauty cradled in her arms.
"You are filth... an unwanted filth in my life," Vedha whispered.
With that, she jolted awake.
She was alone in her hospital bed, the dream fading into the sterile scent of the hospital room. Her mother, Radha, who had been sitting in the chair beside her, panicked at the sudden movement.
"Vedha, what happened?" she asked anxiously.
Vedha, still dazed, shook her head slowly. She glanced down at her breast-it was leaking milk. Her breasts felt swollen and painful. Her body had begun to produce milk. Even though she had rejected motherhood, her body hadn't.
"Amma, look at this. Do something," Vedha said, her voice edged with discomfort.
The urgency in her daughter's voice snapped Radha out of her thoughts. She nodded and said, "Wait, I'll ask the doctor," before hurrying out of the room.
Inside the doctor's cabin, Radha explained the situation. The doctor listened patiently and then said, "Since you're already a mother of two, I don't need to explain to you the importance of breastfeeding. Try to convince her husband to bring the baby, even if just for a few days. It will ease her pain and be good for the child. If feeding isn't an option, we'll have to start medication to stop the milk production. The choice is yours now."
Radha nodded thoughtfully and left the room. She had made up her mind to speak to Arjun-one last time.


Risky Dose of Love

Will they choose each other in the end, or let the weight of it all tear them apart?

There tanned back on display as they stood to their full height completely naked.

HIS DARK ADDICTION

"Alexander, please no... I-I beg you. Please don't do this," I whispered, fear lacing every word as tears streamed down my cheeks."Shhh, tesoro... First, stop calling me by my name. Call me Alex, like you used to. And why are you crying? I haven't even started yet," he smirked, disgustingly calm as his hand reached for my face. I flinched. His eyes darkened. In a flash, his fingers tangled into my hair, yanking my head back with brutal force. "Don't fucking resist me, Sophie. Or it won't end well. Your tears are like gems to me-so cry more, just for me," he growled. I couldn't believe I never saw the monster hidden behind my best friend's smile."Now tell me-what foot did you move first when you tried to escape your cage?" His hand gripped a hammer, twirling it like it was a toy. "A-Alexander, please don't," I sobbed, thrashing against the chains locked around my wrists and ankles."I don't have time, mi tesoro. Punishment must be served. Now-WHICH FOOT?" he roared.

"Ali..." He sighed, his breath tickling the skin of Alison's neck. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, admiring her beauty, how youthful she was. He then took his hand off her, suddenly aware of the line he had crossed.

"This is wrong." He sighed, not looking at Alison. She could feel it in his heaving chest that he was battling his consciousness and his desire. She was fighting the same feelings. They both tried to resist, to rationalize, to not give into temptation. He was her teacher for goodness' sake, and if that wasn't enough, he was so much older than her. It was wrong in so many ways, and yet they couldn't seem to step away.

"It feels right." Alison said boldly. She moved her lips to his, on her tiptoes.

Dr Damon suddenly gripped her forearms, his face becoming tense and serious.

"After weeks of annoying me, being a class clown, disturbing my lessons, embarrassing me in front of my colleagues, disrespecting me, you think you can just waltz into my office dressed like this, taunt me like this... You're a bad student Alison Bardot, you're a very bad girl."

He chuckled then, closing his hands around my arms. "That sucks." And his lips fell to my ear, his hands slipping down into my panties.

He tilted his head, forming an evil grin on his face. I couldn't move. I stayed riveted to my spot silently begging him for mercy. Everything went wrong tonight. He was going to take out all the aggression on me. He always did that. To make it worse, no one was there in the house to save me.

I opened my mouth to speak but was roughly slammed against the wall in a heartbeat. It happened in less than a second. My chest was pressed against his and my hands were pinned above with his one hand clasping both of my wrists while the other hand snaked around my waist, holding me in place.

"What are you doing?" I let out an incredulous whisper.

"Showing you the right way to dominate." And with that, he smashed his lips over mine.

"Do you know what I do with traitors?" His voice was hard but shaky, like he was barely holding back his rage. I shook my head, fear gripping me as I tried to stay still. His lips twisted into a cruel smile, amusement mixed with malice. "I make them regret it," he whispered, his breath warm against my skin. The knife hovered near my throat.

My heart raced, each beat echoing my terror. I didn't dare move or breathe as his eyes searched mine for any hint of defiance.

"But since you're mine, and I can't hurt you," he continued, his voice calm despite the heat of his breath, "I'll go after the one who dared to touch what's mine. He won't see the next sunrise." Tears filled my eyes, and I shook my head.

A cold chill ran through me as his tone turned deadly. "I'll make him suffer," he promised darkly. "He'll beg for mercy, but by the end, he'll wish he never even looked at you."

His lips brushed mine as he whispered, sending dread coursing through me. "And when it's done, you'll know how far I'll go to protect what's mine."

I looked into his eyes, the horror of what was coming sinking in. There was nothing I could do to stop him. The storm was coming, and it would leave only destruction behind.

Join Rudransh and Aadhya on their rollercoaster ride, where betrayal and mistrust threaten to tear them apart at every turn. In a world where loyalty is fleeting and the line between love and hate blurs, they must navigate the dark shadows of their pasts and the dangerous forces that conspire against them.

She was light-too blinding, too pure for a man like him.
He was darkness-cursed, dangerous, and utterly obsessed.

He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken.

Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence.

Until her.

She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one.

She should have run.
He told her to.
Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his.

His to ruin.
His to cherish.
His purest sin.

And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.

Things get complicated when a housing mix-up leaves Piper stranded without her best friend and instead crashing with five of New York City's most notorious-and ridiculously attractive-bikers. But these guys aren't what they seem. Beneath the tough exteriors and tattoos, Piper discovers they're more like a pack of lovable, overprotective misfits than anything else.

But Piper isn't one to back down from a challenge. With her heart on her sleeve and kindness in spades, she's determined to break through Greyson's walls. And as sparks fly and tensions build, Piper discovers that there's more to Greyson than meets the eye-and that sometimes, the toughest hearts are just waiting for the right touch to open up.

The Vampire's Pet

this story contains adult content!!!! read at own risk.

I glared at the vampire before me, pressing myself against the bars of my 'cage'  before dropping the glare and offering him my sweetest grin, "once I get out of her I'm going to kill alllll of you!" I swept my arms out wide, my grin turning feral, "I'm going to rip out all of your throats and see how you like your blood being drained from your neck."
The vampire flashed his fangs at me in an equally menacing grin, "you can try that all you want, after the auction."
   I was tempted to spit in his face but I really did not want to be whipped...again.

  ~~~ Calla, an 18 year old human girl has always lived her life on the run, but was captured by vampires and forced into auction at a high end 'pet shop' where any wealthy vampire can buy her and proceed to do as they please until they decide to kill her. Pessimistic, rude, and short fused Calla is one hell of a handful, one most vampier's don't want to bother with...until him.

"Omega's are supposed to stay quiet. Omega's are supposed to obey. Omega's are supposed to do EVERYTHING I fucking say!" Alpha Morrison said in anger as he spat at me. I lived each day in fear for my life. Wondering what I did wrong to deserve such fate. Was their hatred toward me so strong, they'd happily give me away to a ruthless alpha? Leaving me to fend for myself?

The stories she has heard of him make her tremble in fear, but will he really be so bad? After all, every beast has its beauty that can tame him. Will she be the one to tame the beast in him?

Second No More, a novel

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday.

It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all.

From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children.

Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really.

The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . .

. . . because they're reserved for her.

Bleeding for Her

I froze.
A man was slumped against the graffiti-covered brick wall, blood blooming across his side. His white shirt was soaked through, and there was a gun just inches from his open hand.
My heart slammed against my ribs.

Run, Skye. You should run.

But I didn't.

Instead, I dropped my bag and took a cautious step closer.

His head lifted. Piercing, icy blue eyes met mine, sharp even through the haze of pain. His face was all sharp edges and shadowed scruff, blood trailing from the corner of his mouth. His accent was thick and rough, like broken glass. "Leave." I shook my head slowly. "You're bleeding. Bad."

"Not your concern." His voice was lethal, but he flinched hard when he tried to move.

"You're gonna die out here," I whispered, kneeling beside him. My hands trembled as I pressed a napkin from my apron against his side. "I'm studying to be a nurse. Let me help."

He stared at me like I was something he couldn't comprehend. A stranger. A softness he didn't trust. Then his hand, heavy and warm, clamped around my wrist-not rough, but firm.

"What's your name?" he rasped.

"...Skye."

A beat passed. Then another.

"I am Mikhail." His eyes darkened. "And you shouldn't have found me."
