"I need to go," I mumbled. Before I could take another breath, he had me pinned against the wall. "You aren't going to move another inch," his voice grew husky, and I watched his crystal blue eyes begin to cloud. "Your majesty," I began. I felt the knots in my stomach tangle further at his close proximity. "Let me make one thing very clear, love, I am the king here, and I and I alone am in charge. You are going to be a queen, and a queen cannot rule without her king." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cyan grew up a human girl in a land now ruled by the were-people. She grew up safe, protected, but determined to stay far away from the people who kept her safe. But when the Royal Court holds a ball in honor of the new King's coronation, guess who got dragged along? Damien grew up a powerful man in an equally powerful world. As the newly crowned Alpha King, he made it his job to find his queen. The only thing stronger than fear is love, but fear is a captivating devil. __________________

Verona Nico Valentini is not your average Italian woman she is the next in line to the most powerful Italian Mafia in Europe. • "You women can't do shit," another man spits out. He was maybe a little older than me. I scoff and slip out a knife I had in my heel. I stood, walking over to him, playing with the small knife in my hand. "I am no ordinary woman," I whisper in his ear as a smirk creeps on my face. I stab his upper arm and he yelped in surprise. I twisted the knife and added, "If you aren't going to take me seriously then now is your chance to get the fuck out because I'm not going to take your bullshit." He tried so hard not to scream from the pain, his face turning red. I pulled out the knife and walked back to my seat. Nobody dared to make a noise. "If I hear anybody complain about how I don't know shit. Next time this knife," I raised the bloody knife and throwing it on the table "Will be in your heart. I'm not here to play any games, gentlemen. I'm here to get business done."

"You knew. You tricked me into this marriage!" Amelia yelled, voice quivering, as realization dawned on her. His feral grin only confirmed her suspicions. "Why would you do this to me?" She whispered. Adrian's eyes were unrelenting and ravenous as he leaned in towards her, " Because you were meant to be mine" ❋❋❋ ❋❋❋ ❋❋❋ ❋❋❋ Wild and morally righteous, Princess Amelia has the perfect life. Well as perfect as it can be considering her defiant, rebellious and tempestuous self- diametrical opposite to the way a princess is expected to conduct herself. What happens when in a cruel twist of fate she catches the eyes of the callous and ruthless Emperor that strikes fear in everyone's heart? What happens when fire and ice collide? It's only a matter of time before one of them extinguishes or consumes the other. Either way, Amelia's life is about to change. For the worse.

Skylar has moved on in life now. She's gotten her life back on track and can finally see clearly. New job new friends and maybe even new love? But as much as she loves to run, her past will always be 1 step behind her. Will she let her world fall into the hands of some she thought she left tears ago? Or will she find that moving on was what she was meant to do? -------------------------- "Declan." He smiled a weak smile as he looked to me. He looked as though he had been beat up and hurt. "Told you I wasn't leaving you." I turned quickly throwing my arms around him and pulling his body to mine. "But your dead." I remember the house on tv blowing up. "That was just to throw them off. We all got out alive and safe." I pulled him to me once again just over joyed that he was here with me. "Don't do that ever again." I pulled back holding his face in my hands. "I can't lose someone I love."
