"Stop. Stop, please." I sob as the whip comes down on my back once more. "Shut up yo-" my tormentor's words are cut off by a ferocious growl. I sense another masculine figure in the dark room, but can't make out a word he's shouting. The burning and searing pain that I'm experiencing is just too much. A sickening snap is heard and something drops onto the cold, stone flooring. The chains around my wrists and ankles are broken along with the tight metal collar around my neck. "Mate." my rescuer growls, gently cradling me in his arms. ********************* Charlotte Beck has been tortured and abused by the Red Stone pack ever since she turned eight. She doesn't know why they hate her or how she ended up a lower rank than the Omegas; no one even bothered to label her as a slave. She has never known the true meaning of love or how it felt like, all Charlotte knows is that her pack surely doesn't feel that way about her. Finding a mate was a dream that was thrown out the window long ago; all of the verbal abuse led her to believe that she didn't deserve one. It's not until she attempts to escape again that she realizes that she has a chance of living a better life, one where abuse isn't an everyday thing. Xander Reynolds, Alpha of the Lunar Shadow pack, finds her when she's taken to his cells as a trespassing prisoner. Known as the strongest Alpha in the continent, he does everything he can to protect his mate. The only problem is that she's too emotionally scarred to allow him to. His dark and violent reputation is the only thing that Charlotte knows about him. The memories of their childhood together beaten out of her mind. Traumatized and high on fear, she struggles to let down her walls. Her real home is with a man who she cannot remember and a brother who she wishes she remembered. Can Xander get his mate to love him? Or will Charlotte let her past keep them apart?

In a brutal world where Omegas are hunted and hoarded as breeding prizes, Aria has spent her entire life hiding in plain sight. Taking highly illegal, dangerous scent-blockers, she successfully disguises herself as a lowly, invisible Beta maid in the fortress of Alpha Silas. Silas is the most ruthless, feral warlord on the continent. Known as the "Mad King," he rules with absolute terror because his inner beast is spiraling out of control without a mate to ground him. Aria's plan is simple: keep her head down, scrub the floors, and survive. But during a violent, chaotic pack ambush in the courtyard, the torrential rain washes away her scent-blockers. Suddenly, the intoxicating, impossible scent of a pure, untamed Omega floods the battlefield. Alpha Silas doesn't just stop the attack-he slaughters the enemy and immediately locks down his entire impenetrable fortress. No one gets in. No one gets out. The deadliest man alive is now hunting for the scent that just drove his inner wolf into absolute, terrifying obsession. He orders every single female in the pack to be lined up. And Aria knows that when the Mad King finally finds her, he will never let her go.

From childhood best friends to strangers, some people just outgrow their friends. She wasn't prepared for how her heart skipped a beat when she saw Charles Leclerc. The boy who once was her "puppy love" was now a grown man who probably didn't even remember her. Will their relationship be tested as old feelings are revisited and new challenges arise?

"You know 'Belle' is a way of saying beautiful in French, so you never know if I'm calling you beautiful or my favourite of your nicknames"

Being around Charles Leclerc should come with a warning label: Heart hazard. Emotional whiplash. Excessive charm. Occasional Ferrari-level chaos. These are the moments you didn't see on TV - the teasing, the tension, the almost-kisses, the arguments, and every version of what if? that happens between you and him. Each chapter is a standalone snapshot. A different universe. A different way of knowing him - or not knowing him at all. But always the same Charles. Always the same electricity. Romantic. Chaotic. Tender. More than Monaco.

"You've always been there for me, you've always supported me, it's always been you Amelia" Amelia and Charles have know each other their whole life. They support each other through everything. But what will happen if one of them catches feelings. And will the fact that the whole world is watching affect them? //Contains Swearing//

We need love, but all we want is danger We team up, then switch sides like a record changer The rumors are terrible and cruel But honey, most of them are true - New Romantics by Taylor Swift ------------------- Maeve Alonso grew up in the shadows of podiums and legends. As the daughter of Fernando Alonso, she never had a normal childhood-only the blinding lights of Formula 1 and the wild, reckless boys who became her best friends: Carlos, Charles, Max, Lando, Pierre, George, Daniel, and Alex. Older. Louder. Protective. She was their wild little sister with a sharp tongue and a soft heart. At twenty-one, she knows exactly how this world works. And how to survive in it without ever falling. Until he walks in. Oscar Piastri is nothing like the others. Quiet. Focused. Dangerously unreadable. Where the rest of the paddock burns bright, he smolders-low, slow, and steady. And when his eyes find hers across the chaos, it's not fireworks. It's something deeper. Darker. Hungrier. They don't speak much. But when they do, it crackles. When they touch, the world stops. And when they kiss... it feels like a sin. In a world that worships noise, their silence becomes unbearable. But some desires were never meant to be quiet.
