Called to uphold a fragile peace treaty between humans and their sworn enemies, the Lycan, Charlotte is left with no other choice but to marry their brutal, mortal-hating king. Arrogant and cruel, Griffin of Nyxis is everything she hoped she'd never wed. Yet behind the wicked facade, Charlotte catches glimpses of a king haunted by more than just war. A king ruled by savage, bloodthirsty demons, and inexplicably, soothed by one thing only--the human bride he never wanted. As tension between nations rise, Charlotte is forced to question everything she thought she knew of her husband, his people, and the treaty that binds them. Despite her sacrifice, an unrelenting war simmers beneath the surface. And if Charlotte doesn't do anything to stop it, the fallout may just devastate them all. With chaos on the horizon and a craving for a king that could bring her end, Charlotte must make an impossible choice: protect the people she calls her own, or embrace a love that could change both of their worlds forever...if it doesn't destroy her first. 18+

She was promised to a monster. Then he stole her from the altar. Isabella Moretti has one duty-marry the ruthless heir of the Romano crime family to end their bloody feud. But when a rival makes a last-minute offer, she thinks she's escaped the devil she's never met. She's wrong. •-----• Dante Romano doesn't take insults lightly.

Elorai. They burnt my lab to the ground. They killed my scientists... with their claws. The white, pristine walls they coated with blood and brain matter. Now they're glaring down at me, teeth bared. But they won't kill me. No... they'll take me instead, keep me in a cage, and bind me forever to them. Joke's on them. They're insane if they think I won't claw my way out. * Ronan. Knox. Lucas She was our target-the one we were sent to kill. And that's what we originally planned to do. But we had her beneath our teeth, and instead of pleading for her life, she fucking glared at us. Daring us. Worst part? Our alpha wills weren't working. Her scent bothered our wolves. So we changed our minds. We'll keep her... for now. And kill everyone who tries to take her from us. **** Elorai-or "Lo," like her scientist buddies called her-was just fine, living her life as a test subject for her white-coated handlers, getting cut open and sewn back together, until one day they looked at her and tagged her successful. That's when everything shattered. In an instant, her lab was destroyed and everyone she knew was killed. She tried to run, but her attackers caught her. Werewolves... or mad beasts, like her scientists called them. The plan was to kill on sight-but all three beasts looked down at her, their eyes gleaming... And something shifted in their gazes. That's when she knew she was in trouble.

Eliana is running from her past, and it's chasing her with a vengeance. When her loved ones are murdered before her by a cruel family, Eliana escapes to America and hasn't stopped running for six years. Now, they are getting closer. A dark twist of fate means that ancient bonds are revealed and Eliana is forced to question everything that she knows. *Excerpt* This time, I only made it about twenty feet before a large force slammed into me from behind, a tight hand wrapping around my mouth preventing me from crying out. Desperately, I reached my hands up to tug at the arm around my face as a second powerful arm snaked around my stomach, keeping me flush to the warm chest behind me and stopping me from falling from the impact of his collision. "Enough!" He growled close to my ear. Despite the strong arms and seething tone keeping me contained, I used all my might to struggle, squirming frantically to try and loosen his grip. My shouted pleas were muffled uselessly by the hand over my mouth and warm tears burned against my cold face as they streamed from my ballooned eyes. My legs kicked helplessly, and I must have got a hit in because I heard him curse under his breath before he easily but surprisingly gently, kicked my legs from under me and forced me into a kneeling position on the forest floor, lowering himself afterwards to match my stance. With this new position he could release the arm around my waist without allowing me any wriggle room and I felt him reach behind him to grab something. Shit. My breathing picked up and my cries increased in volume. Was he just going to kill me like this? In the middle of nowhere? Trigger Warning: This is a dark romance. Themes of abuse, death, violence and all around some pretty toxic behaviour.

Uploading a Chapter a Day until Early Feb 2026 Freya Lockridge has been surviving on willpower and spite since she was seventeen-the day her parents abandoned her and her younger brother Liam without warning. Seven years later, she's finally built something that looks like success: a junior acquisitions editor position at the prestigious Blackwell & Sable Publishing House in London. She works brutal hours. She never complains. She's one catastrophe away from falling apart. Then the catastrophe arrives. Liam calls in a panic: he owes loan sharks. Seventy-two hours to pay or face violent consequences. Freya empties her savings, sells her car, and begs every lender she can find. It's not enough. She ends up getting two weeks to find additional money she doesn't have. All while pretending everything is fine at work. But Freya has never been invisible to Damian Blackwell and Rowan Sable. Damian-the ice-cold CEO with impossible standards-has been quietly noticing her exhaustion, her dedication, and now, her unraveling. Rowan-the ex-military COO with a protective streak he can't explain-finds her having panic attacks and sees dangerous men circling her outside the office. Neither man does relationships. Neither has let anyone close in years. But when Freya's two-week deadline approaches and she disappears with a plan that could get her killed, both men make a choice: respect her boundaries and watch her fall, or cross every professional line to pull her back from the edge. Some women are born to be protected. Some men are born to protect. And some stories are born from the moment those two truths collide. Content warnings: A dark MFM romance featuring morally grey protective alphas, forced proximity, workplace power dynamics, touch her and die, financial abuse, threats of violence, panic attacks, polyamorous slow burn. Touch her and die. Found family and a heroine fighting for survival in a world where owing the wrong people changes everything.

Darian is a living legend. A being forged from werewolf fury, witchcraft mastery, and vampire immortality-so powerful that no kingdom, coven, or clan dares challenge him.

She bullies the very man capable of destroying worlds-and somehow, he lets her. While magic cannot bind Darian and strength cannot defeat him, Ella controls him without a single spell. In a world where power decides everything, how does a powerless girl command the most powerful man alive? This is a story where monsters kneel, magic fails, and the greatest force is neither spell nor strength-but a human girl who refuses to be afraid.
