Baila Raquel Itzel Mikaelson, the Original's Queen, is no ordinary immortal. Born in Haiti on Valentine's Day in 1204, she was forged into a Tribrid-a rare fusion of witch, werewolf, and vampire-when her mother unlocked extraordinary gifts during her turning. With abilities like freezing time, molecular manipulation, ergokinesis, ethereal control, near-omniscience, and profound empathy, Baila wields power that rivals even the Mikaelsons themselves. For over 800 years, she has called New Orleans home, building sanctuaries amid the chaos: El Corazón Ardiente, her vibrant restaurant blending Haitian flavors with hidden magic, and Rousseau's, the iconic French Quarter bar she transformed into neutral ground for vampires, witches, werewolves, and humans alike. As a supernatural doctor, she heals the unhealable; as a quiet ruler, she maintains fragile peace in a city torn by divisions-disapproving of Marcel's witch bans while fostering unity beneath the surface. In 1402, fate drew her to Elijah Mikaelson, the noble Original whose rigid honor often cloaks deep loneliness. Their love ignited swiftly, culminating in marriage in 1404, with his siblings embracing her as family. For 621 years, Baila has been his anchor: coaxing rare laughter from him, reminding him to embrace joy amid endless wars, and softening his edges with her goofy, cheeky spirit. Elijah cherishes her deep Spanish accent, her striking beauty-warm olive skin, flowing dark hair from her heritage-and her timeless fashion that blends ancient elegance with modern flair. At 5'3" and eternally 22, Baila is a captivating paradox: soft-spoken yet sassy, observant and intelligent, loyal to a fault, deeply caring, and occasionally delightfully crazy. She teaches young supernaturals to master their powers, takes in strays like Davina and Josh as her own, donates generously to charities and shelters, and lives as a pescatarian-eschewing human blood through sheer control and compassion.

I was supposed to forget him. Just one night. One stupid, reckless, blazing hot night. I didn't even know his last name... But two months later, I'm pregnant with the heir to one of the most dangerous empires in the world. Damien Moretti is lethal, wealthy, and terrifyingly possessive. I built a life without him, poured everything into my boutique, held my head high, and decided I could do this on my own. Until he walked back into my life like a storm- demanding answers, demanding me. And he's not leaving without a fight. Now I'm stuck between a man who terrifies me and a future I never planned for... Because Damien doesn't just want the baby. He wants everything. My body. My heart. My soul. And once a Moretti claims something... He never lets Go His lips were fire-bruising, demanding, desperate as he pressed me back against the boutique's fitting room mirror. One hand gripped my hip like he owned it. The other slid down, low and reverent, stopping right where our child was growing inside me. "Mine," he growled against my skin, his voice ragged and possessive. "This baby... you... all of it. Mine." I should've pushed him away. But instead, I arched into him as his mouth traveled lower, whispering filthy promises over the swell of my barely-there bump before planting a hot kiss there. "You shouldn't be here," I whispered. He looked up at me with eyes that burned emerald. "Sweetheart... I'm never leaving."

Warmth, wealth, protection, and a legacy built on loyalty and blood. As the cherished Marino daughter, she belonged to a world where her family stood as unshakable pillars. But things change... and sometimes they shatter. In less than a year, Lucia lost everything she knew: her parents, her brothers, her place in the world. Everyone assumed that the Marino princess had died. But the truth was far crueler. Lucia didn't die... she was dragged into a darkness that devoured everything she once was. Years of being broken, rebuilt, and broken again followed. Still... she survived. She found people who loved her without conditions, who helped her stand again when she no longer remembered how. And just when she finally believed she had everything she needed, her family finds her, pulling her back into a world she thought she had lost forever. But the shadows of the past cling to her... reminding her that some things are not finished with her just yet. -Azalea

Now, I'm a mafia wife with zero training, a habit of running my mouth, and a brand-new crime lord husband who looks like he wants to strangle me or kiss me at all times. And me? I can't decide if I want to escape... or stay just to drive him insane.

Sabrina Reed is Nathan Alden's wife, but not by his choice... EXCERPT****** "I found her like this, sir," the guard announced. Sabrina stirred at the voice, blinking groggily and rubbing her eyes to chase away the blur clouding her vision. A towering figure stepped into focus. "What are you doing out here, Sabrina?" Nathan's voice was sharp, cutting through the fog of sleep. His jaw was tight, words pressed between clenched teeth. She blinked again, brushing hair from her face as she sat up. "What are you doing out here?" he repeated-louder this time, more demanding. He stood before her in a jet-black suit and white button-up shirt, sleeves rolled just enough to expose forearms clenched across his chest. His eyebrows were drawn tight, his eyes narrowed. "I came back late last night and... the guard was gone, so... I just fell asleep," she said softly, eyes lowering under the weight of his glare. He dismissed the guard with a silent nod, then stepped closer. "Where were you last night?" he asked, voice taut with suspicion. She yawned, trying to blink herself fully awake. "I've been volunteering at the animal shelter." "Get up," he ordered, tone clipped and harsh. "You expect me to believe that? Don't animal shelters close at a decent time?" She remained seated, her legs too stiff to move. "Yes, but-" "Get up!" he barked.
