TRIGGER WARNING: NON-CONSENSUAL marking (as in biting the nape of the neck to claim someone as your bonded mate.) When the Wolf King, Malachai, meets a mysterious young woman in the gardens of his keep, her warmth shatters the cold iron of his heart. She speaks to him and teases him, unaware that the man before her is the very ruler whispered about in fear: the king rumoured to have murdered his own fated mate. For the first time in years, Malachai feels alive, until her world collides with his in a way neither of them could have foreseen. Lillybelle has always been the outsider, the half-breed daughter of a beta and a human. Her life has been a careful balance of obedience and invisibility. But when her childhood friend and secret love, Rylan, publicly rejects her in front of the entire Royal Summit, her world fractures. Betrayed, humiliated, and stripped of the one bond she dreamed of, she's left standing alone, until the cold, dangerous king steps forward to claim her.

In a world ruled by blood, power, and fear... she was the softest thing to ever exist. He was a man people whispered about in fear. A Russian mafia king, a ruthless businessman, a man whose name alone could make grown men tremble. Love? He didn't believe in it. Until one random afternoon in India, when a small accident changed everything. A crash. A crowd gathering. A furious best friend yelling at his driver. And then... her. Standing quietly behind the chaos. Soft eyes. Tiny pout. Cheeks slightly flushed in embarrassment. The most adorably beautiful creature he had ever seen. For the first time in his life... Nikolai Volkov felt something dangerous. Not anger. Not power. Obsession. Because the moment he saw her, he knew one terrifying truth. She was too soft for this world. And now that he had seen her... He would never let her go. Even if it meant dragging her into the dark empire he ruled with his three equally dangerous brothers. After all- Sunshine was never meant to wander into a storm. And Nikolai Volkov? He was the storm.

I'm falling for the Alpha... ... Book 1 |Highest ranking #1 in werewolf - October 18, 2022| Started : Feb. 28, 2017 Finished: May 9, 2017 I#1 in wanted - May 18th, 2018I ... I couldn't react before Jason was right in front of me, his wolf taking over by the way his eyes turned pitch black. "Mine." he growled out, taking a step closer to me. His hand brushed my cheek, and sparks erupted. Now, most people are ecstatic finding their soul mates, their second halves, whatever you want to call them. They rejoice over the thought of finding their soul mate. Years ago, I probably would have thought that would be how it turned out. A casual meeting, them feeling the sparks and being overwhelmed by the scent. But now I found myself with the one choice I had left. Go to Jason, who would be extra possessive because he was an alpha, and bring danger to the pack for being a wanted wolf, or running, and hopefully never seeing them again. My wolf's heart broke at the thought, but I was left with no choice. So I ran. ... After being the most wanted werewolf in the country, Amy Barlow decides to go into hiding. She chooses a small town on the border of the Silver Crescent Pack Territory - one of the most powerful packs in the nation. At first, changing her name to Kara Thomas and dying her hair blonde seems to be enough to throw people off her trail, but when something happens that is not planned for, her original idea crumbles. Will she be able to stay hidden long enough to not get caught? Or will she fall into the hands of a trap? With her mate close on her tail, how will she ever hide? ... COMPLETED!!!! Once the sequel is completed, I will rewrite this one. Stay tuned!

Notorious Mobsters Book 1 ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✦ ✦ ✦ *:・゚✧*:・゚: *✧・゚:* ✦ ✦ ✦ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ Alessandra "Sessie" Benedetti was never meant to want things, and never allowed to refuse them. As one of the consigliere's docile daughters, her entire future had been stamped since she could tie her own shoelace. Marry Tiziano, the Don's volatile son. Smile at everything. Obey every rule. Die quietly inside. So when she dares to want something for herself, just once, her father makes sure she never forgets the price of defiance. Broken and bleeding from her furnished cage, Alessandra makes a break for it, only to discover life outside the cage is just as deadly. In Chicago, her last name makes her more disposable than desirable. Enter Renzo Santoro. Her family's most dangerous enemy. The last man she should ever be within ten feet of, much less want. She saves his life on instinct, with an identity that doesn't exist. Before she can regret either of those decisions, Renzo is already orbiting her little world. And the girl raised to fear men like him? She's starting to think fear and desire might feel exactly the same. When Renzo finds out who she really is, there is no corner of this earth cold enough to contain what she unlocks in him--the fury that wants a bullet in her, and the fixation that wants her regardless. Now the only thing more dangerous than loving a man like Renzo... is what he'll do to keep her from the men who got to break her before he even knew her. And that... that's when the real war begins. ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✦ ✦ ✦ *:・゚✧*:・゚: *✧・゚:* ✦ ✦ ✦ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

Gina Moving into that tiny apartment felt like cutting the last golden thread tying me to my family. No guards. No rules. Just me... and him. Xavier Patrova. I noticed him immediately-the tattoos crawling down his arms, the way his presence filled the room like something heavy and unmovable. He barely looked at me when I walked in, just muttered a low "don't touch my stuff" before disappearing into his room. I talk when I'm nervous. So I talked. About the apartment, the weather, the stupid elevator that smelled weird. He ignored every word. God, I hated him. He was rude, cold, impossible to read. And worst of all-he made me feel small in a way my family never did. Not protected. Just... insignificant. But then I saw it. By accident, really. That's when everything shifted. Xavier wasn't just some rude, cold stranger. He was drowning. And suddenly... I couldn't hate him anymore. - Xavier She talks too much. That was my first thought when Gina Cameron walked into the apartment like she owned the air itself. Bright voice. Bright eyes. Too bright. People like her don't belong in places like this. I kept my distance. I had to. Because if she looked too close, she'd see it. The mess. The truth. The fact that I'm barely holding anything together. But she doesn't stop. She smiles. She asks questions. She fills the silence I've spent years building. And I hate it. ...until the day she finds out. I didn't mean for her to hear. Didn't mean for her to see the bills, the medicine, the photo of my mother slowly slipping away while I can't afford to save her. When I turned and saw her standing there, I expected judgment. Disgust. Pity. Instead, she just looked at me like... I mattered. Like I wasn't something broken. That scared me more than anything. Because Gina Cameron is everything I should stay away from. But the way she looked at me that day- It changed everything.
