Protecting the Wolf Prince by xMishx

Aaliyah is werewolf army born and bred. She is from a long line of werewolves that live to protect their own. But one moment in her life altered her world forever. Suffering with grief, she did the unthinkable in their world and disobeyed a direct order from her superior officer, earning her a dishonourable discharge. Cast out by her father for shaming what he saw was the proud legacy of his line, she moved to the vampire world of Elm'nyth. When a messenger appears with a formal order from the king of her world, Aaliyah is given a second chance at redeeming herself, a chance at earning forgiveness from her father. Returning to the werewolf realm of Askara'velmanti at the height of full moon, Aaliyah happens upon one very fine young man and she spends the night with him, celebrating the tradition that they are accustomed to. She was used to not being what the males of the species saw as a worthy mate, having spent years being a full moon lover to someone and then to have nothing eventuate with them. Waking to an empty apartment the next morning was no surprise to her, she was used to it. Aayliah believed that she was destined to walk the land a lonely woman, never believing she deserved to find her mate. Consequences for actions is something that Aaliyah is used to. She disobeyed her superior officer, she was discharged from the army. She received a dishonourable discharge, her father disowned her. She left the werewolf realm for the vampire realm having little to do with her own world, she knew little of the changes that happened in her absence. She slept with an unknown man at full moon and will now pay the ultimate price for her actions. © These stories and works are copyrighted.

The Arrangements of Hearts by CaribbeanQxeen

Aaliyah never imagined she'd be the one walking down the aisle in her sister's place, but when her sister fled the arranged marriage to Alessio, a billionaire whose wealth was as imposing as his reputation, Aaliyah was thrust into a world she was unprepared for. Her father insisted that she hold the marriage together until her sister decided to return, but six months passed, and in that time, Aaliyah and Alessio began to unknowingly fall for each other. Their relationship grew from an awkward arrangement to a quiet, blossoming love, hidden beneath formalities and unspoken words. Just when Aaliyah thought she could navigate her new life, her sister reappeared, eager to reclaim the marriage after discovering Alessio's immense wealth. Unwilling to let go of what could have been hers, Aaliyah's sister confronted her, presenting a harsh ultimatum: sacrifice her love for Alessio for the sake of their family's well-being, or fight for her marriage, risking her family's disapproval and the stability they depended on. Torn between her burgeoning love for Alessio and the duty she felt towards her family, Aaliyah faced an impossible choice that could change everything.

The Fallen Heir by AshwoodLore

Betrayed by blood. Abandoned by love. Sent to die. Prince Edric was cast aside-exiled to war by the very man who should have protected him. He fought, he survived-only to return home and find the ultimate betrayal: his wife, now queen, married to his father. Love is a weakness he will never bow to again. Then he meets Adelina-a blind woman fleeing a past more brutal than his own. She is untouched, unclaimed... until him. What begins as chance turns into obsession-hungry kisses by the fire, forbidden touches in the dark, a longing so fierce it could destroy them both. But Adelina is a woman who believes she is unworthy of love, and Edric is a man who has vowed never to need it again. When she chooses the safety of a monastery over him, he rides away-until her desperate cry shatters the silence. She runs after him, reckless, breathless, hungry for more than the life she was given. Now, with his father hunting him and his enemies closing in, Edric must fight for the one thing he swore he'd never need again-love. The Fallen Heir is a tale of revenge, obsession, and unrelenting passion-where desire is a dangerous game, and surrender is the ultimate victory.
