Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.

When Alpha Featherstone passes away, his missing daughter shows up to claim her rightful place. Having been gone for eight years, the once sweet and obedient Victoria Featherstone is now a pain in the Elder Council's side. No Female had ever ruled a pack alone and her resolve to be the Alpha has them pulling their hair out in bundles. She is crude, outspoken(whenever she does actually speak), hard headed and at an equal footing with them, even refusing to adhere to the Werewolf King. With a now questionable past about the last eight years while she had been missing, the fact that she wishes to claim her place as Alpha is very distressing to those around her, throwing her old pack into chaos. Vladimir Ivanov, King of the werewolf race, finds her to be perfect for his equally hardheaded son, Illarion Ivanov. Illarion had lost his mate to illness and showed no interest in replacing her, until he meets the spitfire named Victoria Featherstone, feeling a potential second chance mating bond with her. Confused, at first he denies any attraction towards her, but his animistic instincts draws him to her in the end. Archelaus Hatzis, a well known rogue with the reputation as great as that of the Royal family's, catches sight of his mate once, never to see her again as she gets abducted right before his eyes. Six years, four months and twenty days later he stumbles upon a picture of his mate that he had only seen once in his life before. Without thinking twice he packs up his small rogue pack and moves towards where she is. Will either male be able to break through her outer shell to find a loving mate, or will Victoria deter them and continue to rule by herself? And what will they do when finally her past comes to light?

Widowed and pregnant, Mars is one of the last few fertile female werewolves in the world, and now the alpha wants her to breed his lineage. This would mean death to her unborn baby. To save herself and her baby's life, she runs away from her pack. But as she races through the forest, she stumbles upon a wounded Lyall, the Lycan King, who turns out to be her second chance mate. "Are you lost, werewolf girl?" he asks her. Cursed to be cold-hearted and devoid of feelings, Lyall never thought he would find his fated mate by chance. He saves her from her own pack and offers her a proposition laced with a threat: "I will give you 365 days to make me feel. Make me fall in love with you. Move my emotions," he says in a deep tone. "The moment I feel nothing about you, I will return you to your pack. But if you can make me fall in love with you, I will fight the werewolves to let you stay." *** est June 2022.

It must have been a goddess. That he was sure of. In the middle of those dark ashes, a body was laid down, wrapped in a cape that must have been green before but which was now covered in brown because of the ashes. Her face was strikingly pale, of a rare whiteness, but it was also dirtied by the ashes, hiding her cheeks and forehead. But despite those ashes and these dark smudges, one thing was absolutely certain: she was divine. She had a beautiful face with a straight, small nose, lips that were plump even if they were dry and a bit blue from the cold. Her eyes were closed, but her lashes seemed to be long and thick, resting on her cheeks like she was sleeping peacefuly. But all of those traits were not what attracted the Jarl. What did was the streak of hair that rested on her forehead, which had leaked from her hood. Its color was so unique and uncommon for a girl from this country that Tharn remained fixated on it. It was impossible to decide if this girl was a red-head or a blond. It seemed like the gods had not been able to chose in-between those two hair colors and had to give her the tone in between those two: gold. What a waste for such a heavenly creature to be dead, Tharn thought. Well, was he sure she was dead? After kneeling down, he bent over her, placing his fingers on her throat to check if her heart was still beating and placing his cheek in front of her mouth to see if he could feel a breath against his skin. As faint as it was, a light breeze touched him and a slow beat came under his fingers. She was barely alive, but she still was. A sigh of relief escaped him without him controlling it. He had no idea why he was so glad she was alive, but he was sure of one thing : she was coming back with him, and she would be his.
