"I do bad things. But you already know that." ~ Thomas Shelby A tragic misunderstanding. A murder. A secret. An unlikely partnership.

Perfection is a performance. Feeling is the flaw in the script. Juniper has not only survived the first phase of the Marriage Process- barley- she somehow managed to be in the top three contestants meaning she has to stay. Much to the disappointment to everyone involved. Now she's expected to spend who knows how long with three bachelors who clearly want nothing to do with her-and in some cases, would rather see her disappear entirely. But as the season drags on, cracks begin to form in their carefully constructed lives. Behind every cold glare and forced smile is a story no one dares to speak aloud, especially not to the unwanted bride they are forced to spend time with. And when masks begin to slip, so do the boundaries between them. Juniper never expected to find connection. They never expected to care. But in a world built on control and illusion, can something real survive?

Once upon a time, thousands of years ago, men and fae lived side by side. These were often dark times, as men had little means to defend themselves from the powerful creatures capable of destroying villages in mere seconds. Through bloody battle and tough negotiations with the High Faerie nobility, an agreement of sorts had been reached: A Treaty. Men on the southern half of the continent, Faeries on the top half. Plain and simple... Until it isn't. Ella Blackwell has duties. Insurmountable, crushing duties. As the Duke's daughter, she's been born and raised to accomplish what all women in Rhothomir's high society are meant to do-marry well, secure an alliance, and bear the perfect heirs to continue traditions. Except, Ella's not really the perfect blue-blooded aristocrat she's expected to be. In the midst of rising political tensions between the Kingdom of Rhothomir and Fae Realm, and a blooming war, Ella finds her life completely upended from one moment to the next, ripped away from everything she's ever known. Follow along for a High Fantasy adventure full of Faerie royalty, courtly intrigue, backstabbing nobles, political schemes, steel-strong friendship and love.

Chapter 9 :)

Isis's mate was destined to reject her. It was a requirement for everyone who joins the Elite Six, the small team of highly skilled warriors that guard the alpha of the Crescent Valley Pack. Instead, his team would be provided a breeder who would bring in the next generation of warriors. It's better this way. No one wants to be mated to someone who has a 50/50 chance of making it to thirty. But what if... What if the E6 fell in love with someone? What if that someone wasn't a trained breeder? What if her mate was willing to share the mate bond with the rest of the team? For those who have read Lycan Breeder and were intrigued by the other breeder who was always out of sight, this story runs parallel to Dominic and Sophia. If you haven't read Lycan Breeder yet, now is a good time to do so. https://www.wattpad.com/story/316693205

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
