He tilted her chin up with two fingers, forcing her to look at him while the entire throne room watched. “Run,” the Devil King murmured softly, almost tenderly. “I like it when you run. Isn't that what you're good at?” Her pulse jumped, but she refused to blink. “And I like it when you bleed, loser.” A slow smile curved his mouth. The Elders moved uneasily. No one got to speak to him that way. No one survived it. He leaned closer, his voice lowering to something only she can hear. “You will be my bride, Firefly.” “Over my dead body.” His thumb brushed the mark on her wrist. “Exactly.” * When a forgotten girl is dragged before a tyrant king in search of a bride, she expects execution not recognition. But the man who rules the kingdom has been haunting her dreams for years. He calls her Firefly. He calls her his. And now he wants a crown on her head.

The Devil’s Pet — a dark fantasy romance where obsession overrules love and running only makes the Devil chase harder.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT ​THIS BOOK CONTAINS EXPLICIT ADULT THEMES, GRAPHIC SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND STRONG LANGUAGE. INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. In a world where the color of your wolf’s coat determines your strength and your destiny, Ember Reed is an outcast. Branded a “Harbinger of Death” by the superstitious Vicious Fangs pack, she is blamed for every tragedy she did not cause. For Ember, the Awakening ceremony is her only path to redemption: a chance to prove that a high-class wolf lives within her and finally silence those who treat her as a curse. But when the moment arrives, Ember's world shatters. ​No fur. No claws. No wolf. In a world of predators, she is powerless. The humiliation doesn’t end there. That same night, a mate bond snaps into place, tethering her to Axel Varg, the Alpha’s heir. Forced to choose between a “cursed” mate and his birthright, Axel chooses power. He rejects her in front of the entire pack, leaving a broken Ember to face an immediate execution. ​Narrowly escaping death, Ember is rescued by an unlikely savior: Blaine Hawthorne, Alpha of the Moon Howlers, the very pack her people have oppressed for generations. But as she enters this new world, the stakes turn lethal. The ache of Axel’s rejection is still raw when a second bond anchors her to Blaine, followed by a third with the arrival of the terrifying Hybrid King, Caine Maximilian. The truth is far more dangerous than the pack's lies. Ember isn’t wolfless; she is an Ugnis, the legendary Red Wolf of myth. Her power is so vast it cannot be held by one man alone; it requires four separate mate bonds to act as anchors. Without them, her wolf is a prisoner. With them, she is an unstoppable force of nature. Now, the girl they cast out has become the ultimate prize. To unlock her true form, Ember must navigate a web of deadly schemes, track down a mysterious fourth mate who holds the final key to her soul, and decide if the man who threw her away is worth reclaiming. The Great Hunt has begun. The supernatural world sees her as a trophy to be claimed or a resource to be drained. They are about to learn that an Ugnis does not just wake. She consumes. --- Join my Discord server to share your thoughts, theories, or any ideas you have for the story.

“Gözlərin—Your Touch crossed beyond my Flesh—even drawing the MaRRow.... from my Bones — left wounds that could UnDo me…” Existence becomes a crisis. When my own identity deceives me, when someone else’s presence steals the breath meant to be mine— that is when it becomes me… and him. Each nerve of my body move only by some inner command, humanity itself feels...as though it fades into nothing. My Everything becomes his. And I… dissolve. But.. The moment someone else enters his life… My selfhood, my belonging — all of it feels like a lie. "Sevgilim… you killed your deer—it trusted you enough to die in your hands." A LoVe StoRY with No HEART...

Elowen Thorne was born an omega in the Shadowpine Pack—the lowest rank, barely considered wolf at all. While other pack members trained and hunted, she scrubbed floors, cooked meals, and endured casual cruelty like it was weather. She told herself survival was enough. She told herself to stop dreaming of more. Then the Moon Goddess played her cruelest joke: Elowen's fated mate is Cassian Greythorne, the pack's future alpha. Handsome, powerful, destined for greatness—and utterly disgusted by her. He doesn't reject the bond outright. That would be too merciful. Instead, Cassian keeps Elowen as his dirty secret. He uses her body in the dark, whispers promises he never intends to keep, and parades his chosen mate—the beautiful beta Seraphine—in public. When Elowen becomes pregnant, Cassian gives her a choice: terminate the pregnancy or disappear forever. The pack will never accept an omega's bastard as heir. Broken and bleeding, Elowen is left to die in the forbidden forest. That's where he finds her. Tiberius Nightshade, the Lycan King—ancient, powerful, and feared by every pack on the continent. They say he's a monster who's lived for centuries. They say he kills anyone who looks at him wrong. They say his castle is where wolves go to die. They're wrong about everything that matters. Tiberius doesn't see a broken omega. He sees a survivor. He doesn't offer pity. He offers choice. And slowly, patiently, impossibly, he teaches Elowen something she never learned in twenty-three years: she was never the problem. They were. Now Elowen is learning to stand, to fight, to rule. And when she returns to Shadowpine Pack as the Lycan King's chosen queen, Cassian will finally understand the magnitude of what he destroyed. Because the omega he discarded is gone. In her place stands a Luna who bows to no one. Some women are born into power. Others have to take it. And Elowen Thorne is done asking for permission.

One fateful night, Lily finds a wounded stranger in the woods and brings him home. She doesn't know he’s Elis — a cursed werewolf, the last of his kind, and her destined mate. Drawn to each other by a powerful bond, they share one passionate night under the full moon… but by morning, he’s gone, leaving her heart shattered. Years pass. Now an Alpha King in search of a queen, Elis crosses paths with Lily again. Their connection still burns, but secrets and past pain linger. Lily soon learns that she alone holds the power to break his ancient curse — yet she may never be chosen as his queen. Can Lily survive a second rejection? Or will love finally conquer the curse?

In the remote mountains of ancient China, an imperial decree summons the nation’s most skilled Go players to a tournament unlike any other. But this is no ordinary game. The board is alive.

Alongside Mei Lian, a mysterious fellow invitee with secrets of her own, he must navigate a nightmarish contest where every move can cost not only victory but body, soul, and sanity. As the players are transformed into living pieces, the line between human and game dissolves.

In this deadly convergence, the board does not forgive mistakes—and only the fittest will live to tell the tale.

Seraphine Vale is a nameless omega servant. silent, invisible, and desperately trying to survive in a pack where power is everything and she has none. Until the day she makes a mistake. She crosses paths with Kael Dreadmore, the ruthless Alpha King feared across every territory. One command from him should have crushed her to her knees… but she resists. For the first time in his life, someone withstands his aura. And that single moment seals her fate. Kael claims her on the spot. Not as a mate. Not as a lover. As an obsession he refuses to understand. He drags her into his private wing, determined to uncover why a trembling omega can defy him and why his wolf is losing its mind over her scent. Seraphine only wants to survive. Kael wants to unravel her. Neither realizes the truth: Seraphine is the last heir of an ancient bloodline capable of controlling Alpha Kings. And a prophecy names her as the one who will either crown the Ruthless King… or destroy him. Enemies rise. Rivals plot. Her powers awaken. And the king who swore he would bow to no one… may be forced to kneel for the girl he tried to claim.

When Luna Stacy Hale signs her divorce from Alpha Mark Ravenwood, she believes she is walking away from a cold political marriage. Instead, the broken bond triggers chaos across the continent. Alphas lose control. Packs turn volatile. The Council suspects sabotage. But the truth is far more dangerous. Stacy is an Anchor, a rare bloodline capable of regulating Alpha dominance itself. While confined within Silver Crest, her power compressed and destabilized the hierarchy. When she leaves pack territory and walks unclaimed land, the continent calms. Aggression fades. Surges stabilize. Even rogues quiet under her presence. Her independence, not her loyalty, restores balance. The Alpha Council panics. An unbound Anchor threatens their control. If power no longer depends on centralized dominance, their authority weakens. They label her a continental risk. An enemy of the crown. Divorced Luna. Crowned Enemy. Now hunted by politics and shadowed by ancient forces awakening in response to her freedom, Stacy must decide whether to submit, reclaim her place beside Mark, or reshape the entire system. In a world built on dominance, one woman’s independence may become the greatest revolution.

On the night she is meant to become Luna, Ayra stands before her pack with hope trembling in her silver-gray eyes. The ceremony is sacred. The bond is fate. The future is certain. Until Alpha Vincent rejects her. In front of their entire pack. The humiliation cuts deep, but it is not the worst thing that happens that night. Heartbroken and unable to breathe under the weight of shame, Ayra runs into the forest seeking silence. Instead, she finds death. A blade slips between her ribs. A stranger whispers, “As ordered.” Her blood stains the earth. And the last thing she hears is Vincent’s voice calling her name in horror. Then she wakes up. Seven days earlier. Alive. At first, Ayra believes it is a nightmare born from rejection. But when events begin to unfold exactly as she remembers, she realizes the truth is far more terrifying. Time has reset. The ceremony will happen again. The rejection will happen again. And unless she changes something, she will die again. Trapped in a deadly loop, Ayra must relive the worst week of her life over and over, each time uncovering new secrets buried beneath pack politics and whispered loyalties. The public rejection is not a simple humiliation. It is a shield. The assassination attempt is not random. It is calculated. And the order to kill her comes from someone close enough to know exactly where she will run. Vincent is not the cold monster she believed him to be. Behind his controlled exterior lies a man carrying burdens he refuses to share. As Alpha, he protects his pack at any cost. Even if that cost is breaking Ayra’s heart in public. Even if it means letting the world think he doubts her strength. But fate is watching. With each death, Ayra returns stronger, sharper, less afraid. The shy and emotionally sensitive girl who once waited for protection begins to see the cracks in the system around her. She stops running. She starts observing. She starts fighting back. And Vincent begins to notice. The more Ayra changes, the more Vincent’s carefully controlled world begins to unravel. Her courage challenges him. Her silence frightens him. And when she stops chasing his approval, he realizes too late that losing her may destroy more than just his pride. As Ayra uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of the pack, she faces a terrifying truth: the repeated deaths are not punishment. They are a warning. Someone wants the Luna weak. Someone fears what she could become. Each reset gives her one chance to survive. Each death costs her a piece of innocence. Seven times she will fall. Seven times she will rise. But the final time, there will be no waking up. In a world ruled by power, loyalty, and blood, Ayra must decide whether she will remain the rejected Luna or become something far more dangerous. Because this time, she is not running into the forest alone. And this time, she refuses to die quietly.

It's funny how you keep living in a world that was never meant for you... a world where my kind are hunted and slaughtered like animals. A world to leave in or die. A world with secrets buried at its core. A world worth saving or destroying. A world overrun by the enemy. Yeah. That's it. Welcome to my world.

  “You were mine once,” Aiden murmured, pinning her to the wall. “And you will be mine again.”   Alina laughed softly, even as tears burned her eyes. “You chose another woman, Aiden. Now you don’t get to touch what you abandoned.”   Three years of silence. Three years of cold sheets. Three years of being the "Placeholder Luna."   Alina knew the terms: marry the powerful Alpha Aiden, provide an heir, and disappear when the contract expired. She played her part perfectly. But when Aiden’s childhood sweetheart returns to claim her throne, the rejection isn't just a formality—it’s a betrayal that leaves Alina shattered and exiled to the pack’s dangerous fringes.   Then, an accident comes that almost claims her life. Instead of death, she finds a savior: a scarred rogue, hunted by every pack in the territory. Where Aiden saw a contract, this stranger sees a Queen. Where Aiden saw a wolfless Omega, he sees a mate.   As the Rogue’s obsession with Alina grows, so does the danger. But back at the palace, Aiden is realizing that breaking the bond didn't stop the hunger. He wants his wife back. He wants his son home.   But the Rogue doesn't play by pack rules, and he has no intention of letting his rescued treasure go back to the man who threw her away.   The Alpha wants his legacy. The Rogue wants her soul. And Alina? She’s done playing by everyone else’s rules.

Erich ran away from a childhood shattered by silent screams and a home filled with tribal masks. Years later, he is a solitary deep-sea photographer on the coast of Japan, haunted by one terrifying memory: the moment he saw his own father with a chillingly blank face—no eyes and...

Dominic- I was just a regular college dude until a werewolf bite turned me into a rude, horny mess. So, I moved out-away from everyone. Then I found Lean, a goofy vampire with a broken leg and zero chill. He's clingy, annoying, and somehow stole my heart while I was busy trying not to kill him. Between monster hunters, messy hookups, and way too many kisses, our chaotic lives might just become the perfect disaster. Or maybe... love?

He was raised by blood and fire. She was born from loss and buried memories. Lorenzo is a ruthless mafia king—cold, calculating, and feared across Chicago and New York. Groomed to inherit an empire soaked in violence, he has spent his life clawing his way toward one goal: freedom. Three more years, and he plans to walk away from the underworld forever, leaving the bloodstained crown behind. But fate has other plans. Mel lives a quiet life defined by art, guilt, and responsibility. Haunted by dreams of a boy with mismatched eyes and surrounded by roses, she believes they are nothing more than fragments of her imagination—until those dreams begin to feel dangerously real. When their worlds collide, buried truths resurface. The boy Lorenzo once was. The girl he once saved. A promise neither of them remembers making—but never truly broke. As enemies close in and the past claws its way back to the surface, Lorenzo must choose between the empire he was born to rule and the woman who could destroy it. Loving her means risking everything—his power, his future, and the carefully controlled monster he’s become. Because some roses don’t bloom to be protected. They bloom to bring kings to their knees. And in a world of thorns, love may be the deadliest weapon of all.

Aella almost drowned in a lake she doesn’t remember entering. Now she wakes at 3:16 AM to the sound of dripping water, vanishing messages, and a voice that knows her name.
