The pits taught me to trust no one. House Ravilon taught me I might be wrong about that. Finley's still fighting what's between us. Lysander's chaos is growing on me. Reyker sees through every lie. And somewhere between temple trials and gods who speak in riddles, I stopped pretending I could walk away from any of them. The deal was clear enough: collect the artifacts, earn my freedom. But gods don't hand out weapons without a reason. And House Ravilon didn't buy a pit fighter just to win tournaments. When we get back to the villa, Silas and Axlan are waiting. So is something else. Twenty years of survival might not be enough for whatever comes next. **Updates every Monday and Friday starting March 13th at 12pm EST**

Silverstone Academy isn't your average college campus. It's a battlefield. Survival of the fittest. Where hormones, scents, and dominance linger within the halls. A place where Alphas, Betas, and Omegas come to find their mates, all the while getting their education and finding their place in the hierarchy. But keeping a secret in a place like this is harder than it looks. Logan Haveard has two secrets, and both could end in expulsion. One, she's pretending to be a guy. Not by choice but by her father. And two, she's a Theta. It's a rare class that's only heard of in the history books. Thetas don't get heats often like omegas, nor do they scent, so to everyone, she's a beta, but the swirl marking on her abdomen says otherwise. As she struggles to keep both of her identities hidden, and the power that seems to grow inside her a secret, she seemed to have caught the attention of Daniel Oliver, an Omega, who's mated to the six most powerful Alphas in society. What could possibly go wrong? *** Why Choose? Reverse harem Slowburn

Hadley Carter has not had the easiest life. She didn't ask to have these strange powers that have plagued her since childhood. She didn't ask to be kidnapped. She didn't ask to be rescued by some good-looking strangers. She didn't sign up to be a guardian of life. And she most definitely did not ask to have the attention of not one but seven guys.

Thea Greyback is the oldest daughter to the famous Satin Moon pack twins, Hunter and Archer, and their human Luna, Maizey. Thea's older brothers were destined to be the next Alphas of Satin Moon, but she knew she was made for more than just being someone's mate or future Luna. Instead, she joined the elite league of Royal Archers, bringing down the vial rogues intent on killing; the rogues didn't have prejudices, they went after anyone, any species, any gender, any age. Thea, the Crimson Archer, was the best of them all with a near perfect success rate. Hiding in the trees one day, she saves a young boy from a vicious rogue. Little did she know, that boy belonged to the Alpha of the Valor Woods pack. Alpha Xaiver made a mistake with a she-wolf who wasn't his mate, resulting in the best thing in his life; his son, Logan. When Logan is saved by a Royal Archer, he invites her to the pack for a gratitude dinner. After learning the raven haired beauty was his mate, he fell head over heels for her instantly. But, it wouldn't be that easy. For the girl who never wanted to be someone's mate, how could she also take on being a little boy's mother? She was a born Archer, heartless, soulless, and merciless. She didn't have what it took to be a Luna. Or does she? Book #8 of the Royal Legacy series (can be read as a stand alone).

Victoria 'Ria' Winters is the youngest out of all her quadruplet sisters; the one with the dark humor and haunting past. That's why she worked so hard for scholarships abroad to get as far away as possible. All her sisters had their own challenges, but nothing compared to Ria's past. When a traumatic event when she was 11 repeated itself when she was a freshman in college, it nearly destroyed her like the 1st time. She's learned from an early age to trust no one. Especially not men. After an assault by Vlad Wolves, the younger brother of the star hockey captain Nikolai Wolves, Ria was dragged through a brutal court case that nearly ended her. Vlad, a master manipulator and narcissist, turned the tables, leaving Ria to bear the blame and forcing her to transfer schools to escape the shame. Now, three years later, Ria has rebuild her life at one of the best universities in the world, focused solely on her studies and her future. But when Nik-who's always despised her for 'trying to ruin his family image for attention and money'-needs help to save his beloved place on the hockey team, he's forced to turn to the one person he hates most: Victoria. Nikolai had his own reasons to hate Ria. But when his powerful father, who has always had doubts about Vlad's innocence, insists that Ria tutors Nik in exchange for her fully funded graduate scholarship abroad, they're both trapped. Obviously, Ria hated that whole family for what happened freshman year in her former college. Especially Nikolai Wolves who testified against her, as if the moron had even been there when his younger brother assaulted her. Forced to work together Victoria and Nikolai's mutual hatred ignites into a battle of wills. There sessions are a minefield of cutting remarks, icy glares, and unresolved anger. But beneath the venom, there's undeniable tension-attraction. Beneath the anger and hurt, they begin to uncover the truth about each other-and about Vlad.

"I don't know who you think you are coming here, and acting like you don't care about anything. Now listen here Princess, because I'm not going to repeat myself. Here's a couple of rules that I'd like to enlighten upon you. Number one, you do not talk back to me. And two, you don't mess with me or the rules," his breath fans my face and I close my eyes. The proximity between us was terrifying. "I've dealt with many bitches like you, so I suggest that you follow those rules unless you want to end up like them," - he leans in. His mouth lingers near my ear, "used." ... "... You might think that you run this place, but you do not run me. Understand? And the sooner you understand that, the better it'll be for the both of us," I warn staring right into his eyes before walking away. I was more than amused by his dumbfounded expression. I stop, and turn back around, facing him, "And one piece of advice, know what you're fishing for before you start fishing. What if you find a shark and it reels you in, instead?" ⇒Highest rank: 1 in Chicklit on 01.08.16
