For fifteen years, Carina and Marcello Rosa have believed the same thing: their father was a man they were better off without. Cruel, dangerous, and absent, he was the reason their mother took them away and built a life far from him. The twins grew up believing she saved them from a man who could only hurt them. But when their mother dies unexpectedly, everything they thought they knew begins to change. With their father still serving time in prison, he makes one decision that forces Carina and Marcello into a life they were never meant to know. They have half-brothers. Brothers who never knew they existed. Brothers who belong to the Cavallo family. To Carina and Marcello, they are strangers tied to a past they were taught to fear. To the Cavallo brothers, the twins are a secret their father kept hidden for fifteen years. Now, they must navigate a family built on loyalty, secrets, and old wounds while uncovering the truth about the man they thought they knew. Because sometimes the people you were warned about aren't the ones you should fear.

Eleonora "Nora" was born in Italy, into a powerful family she never truly came to know. At just two years old, her life was quietly uprooted. Though her parents had separated, that was never the real reason she left. Hidden from her was a far more dangerous truth-threats from rival families that made her a target, and sending her away was the only way to keep her safe. Taken to St. Tropez with her mother, Nora grew up believing she had simply been given a different life. She was told her father had died when she was only a baby, a story carefully crafted to protect her from a world she was never meant to see, cut off from her Italian family. But the safety she was promised never truly existed. Behind closed doors, under the control of her stepfather, Nora's world slowly darkened. Years of abuse were buried beneath silence, enforced by fear and threats she was too young to fully understand, yet too terrified to ignore. When her mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Nora is faced with an impossible choice-tell the truth and risk breaking the fragile peace her mother clings to, or stay silent and carry the weight alone. In the end, her mother makes the choice for her. With her final act, custody of Nora is transferred to her eldest brother, Lorenzo-bringing her back to Italy for the first time since she was a toddler, and into a family she doesn't remember, yet has always belonged to. Now, free from the man who controlled her life, Nora must confront the shadows of her past and navigate a world she was never meant to be part of. Because while her stepfather disappears the moment he loses his hold over her, the damage he left behind doesn't vanish with him. And for the first time in her life, Nora must learn what it truly means to be safe... and to finally belong. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️ Sexual Abuse Physical Abuse PTSD Self Harm Suicidal Thoughts Body Dysmorphia

Rankings 🥇 1# mxmxmxm 1# mxmxm 1# Pack 1# Omega He spent his entire life running. Hunted by packs, beaten down by fate, and forced to survive on his own, he learned long ago that rogues were never shown mercy. To the werewolf world, rogues were nothing more than violent strays - unwanted, dangerous, cursed. And he carried every scar that truth left behind. For years, survival was all he knew. No home. No pack. No one waiting for him. Until the night the Moon Goddess shattered everything. The night he found his mates. Three of them. Two powerful Alphas and an Omega already bound together in what seemed like the perfect relationship. Untouchable. Respected. Complete. At least, that's what everyone believed. Because no one expected them to have another mate. Especially not a rogue Omega. Now forced into a pack that hates rogues more than anything, he finds himself trapped between fate and rejection. Every stare is filled with disgust. Every moment feels like a reminder that he does not belong there. Yet the bond between them only grows stronger, pulling all four of them closer no matter how hard they try to resist it. His mates are torn between the life they already built together and the pull of the broken rogue who was never supposed to be part of it. But in a world where hatred runs deeper than blood, loving him may cost them everything. ✨ What My Readers Are Saying ✨ "The way you describe the actions, the thoughts, the words. Just amazing. I love your word choice, truly brings the most emotion to what you are wanting to convey. Also, I love that Luca asserted his authority to protect Kael! He truly showed the strength of an omega."

I had been bonded to. One moment I was having an absolute blast living my normal, broke, standard life and the next I was entertaining a tall, handsome blonde vampire intent on knowing me fully. The vampires has always been a part of our world. They dressed human- or.. well, old fashioned, but nevertheless human, did human things like sit in theatres and drive cars, vote, pay taxes yet control every last one of us. I don't understand how it all seemed so seamless. Especially with an organisation like Lovebites on the scene. They mate with humans, specifically human females- intent on creating life partners- through the means of courting, gentle seduction and a government who can force us into giving them a chance, because- for once in our measly little existence, we have the upper hand. We cannot feel the bond.

A wolf unseeing is not an asset. A wolf deformed is an embarrassment. A wolf unloved is dead. But, a wolf who is brave is free. I was born to save my brother's life, the future Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack; I was the sacrificial lamb in wolf's clothing. I was raised without love, care, compassion, and even my sight. My sole reason for existing was to die. I would be his salvation. Despite that, four months before my destiny would claim my life, my brother set me free. He had a plan: I would escape, he would come for me later, and we would live freely together. I, however, had a plan of my own. To escape my destiny, and to escape him. What I hadn't counted on was finding what I had always been desperate for: a pack void of hatred, and an Alpha who seemed equally desperate for me. I finally had the chance to feel real, true happiness. But, fate wasn't so forgiving, and neither was my brother. *Dual POV*18+* *Trigger Warning: This fictional work contains depictions of mental, emotional, physical, & sexual abuse, as well as incestuous acts.
