[COMPLETED] [ 18+ WARNING. DARK WEREWOLF x HISTORICAL FANTASY ]
Calla Voronín thought she knew her destiny. Marry her village's next leader and become the sacred Seer, a human blessed with the gift of precognition. And yet, when the infamous shifters of the North invade her homeland on the day of her wedding searching for gold, food, and women, Calla realizes she does not have as much control over her destiny as she thought.
Like the icy and unforgiving nature of the northern continent, Alpha Einarr Fjerstäd treats those that he conquers with little mercy. Under the flag of the Alpha King, he holds no qualms about invading human villages and leaving nothing but ash and bone in his wake. But when his pack's longship lands on the shores of Calla Voronín's seaside city, the infamous Alpha stumbles upon a treasure far greater than any loot.
Stolen away to her supernatural captor's frigid homeland, Calla is determined to do everything in her power to punish Alpha Einarr and return to her family. And yet, with every second spent amongst the legendary shifters and beside the man who claims to be her mate, Calla's resolve to escape weakens. In a struggle against her own desire, Calla must decide whether to forsake her werewolf captors or step into her role as Luna-- ruler of the Alpha's heart.

The wolves are tense, the Northeastern and Southwestern packs are at a standoff. Someone needs to step in to cut the tension, but who wields that kind of power?

Honey and the Blade
"Well," I say, throwing my hands up, "I'm drunk. I'm tired. I'm wearing a dress that's cutting into my ribs. And I smell like club lighting and regret. So unless this bond of yours also comes with a shower and a bottle of water, I'm out." She was sunlight in a world of claws and power. He was a war-forged alpha, possessive and feared.

Her powerful family let her live freely, as long as she stayed in line. But everything changes the night the infamous war alpha steps into her city. And claims her. He's dangerous. Ready for a battle. And he doesn't take no for an answer. But Isla isn't a girl you can keep in a cage. Even if fate says she's his.
TADEUS (Bringer Of Doom)
⚠️MATURE READERS ONLY⚠️ DARK ROMANCE ⚠️ They called me the Chosen One, but I never asked to be chosen. My survival was not a blessing; it was a scar etched into my soul, a reminder of a fate that defied the natural order. They revere me for enduring the unendurable, but they do not see the price I paid-or the darkness that followed. In a world where the Moon's will shapes destiny, I have always been an outlier, my existence whispered about in fear and awe. My path was not meant to cross with his-Tadeus, the son of gods and the heir to power unimaginable. Unmerciful and grim, he was destined for a bond that promised greatness, a future that did not include me. But when our worlds collide, the pull between us is undeniable, perpetual, and utterly forbidden. What begins as a reluctant alliance becomes something far more dangerous, testing the boundaries of fate, loyalty, and the truth of what the Moon has planned. Ours is a connection that should not exist, a bond forged in defiance of the natural order. Where his touch ignites, it also destroys, and every moment I spend in his shadow feels like a war between my survival instincts and the dangerous allure of surrender. His pain mirrors my own, but it is his darkness that calls to me-a feral, ceaseless need that promises ruin. With every choice we make, we teeter on the edge of a revelation that could upend everything we know about destiny and desire. But the deeper I fall into his world-and his arms-the more I wonder: Am I defying fate, or fulfilling it?

The Dark Side of the Moon
"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days. And you're going to love it." ---------- Thea Brooks, an 18-year-old college student, lives her life by a schedule.

She thinks that everything will remain the same as she starts her college classes, but that all changes when a new friend of hers introduces her to an attractive guy that she can't seem to get out of her head. Grayson Dark, a 22-year-old Alpha of his pack, has been searching for his mate since he turned 16.

Rejected then Claimed by the Alpha
I only gave him one night. One night to prove I wasn't just the human maid cleaning his mansion floors. And by dawn, the Alpha shattered me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and chose another to wear the crown at his side. He never knew that night left me with more than scars. It left me with a son. Two years later, I'm not the weak girl who cried when he cast me aside. And I'm back not for him, but for my child. Kael thinks he can ignore the past. He thinks he can demand my forgiveness. But I don't care about his crown, or his throne, or the Luna who clings to him like she's untouchable. All I care about is protecting my son.

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

Alpha Wolf - Mate Mine
(+18) COMPLETED ✔ {Highest Ranks & Awards: #1 in Werewolf, #3 in Alpha, #3 in Mate, #16 in Romance, 19/11/2020} ☆☆☆☆ Mirko. Just his name is enough to invoke fear. Young in age yet ancient in his fury, with burning eyes and a bloody history of ice & fangs. His beast-more prehistoric predator than a mere Alpha-rules the shadows as ruthlessly as he rules his pack, the infamous Black Devils. Whispers speak of a curse. Wolves born without mates, destined to lose themselves to the feral madness of their inner beasts. But then came her. ☆☆☆☆ Elena paused, her gaze sweeping over him. His nostrils flared, thick veins bulged along his neck and face, and his eyes were pitch black-voids of pure darkness. Elongated, inhuman ears twitched as sharp fangs pierced his lips. Any sane person would have run for their life. But to Elena, he had never looked more beautiful. ☆☆☆☆ After this book, you'll find yourself longing for that simple, powerful word-the one we all secretly yearn to hear once in a lifetime: MATE ☆☆☆☆ Some reviews from my awesome readers: annaglowka2005: "MASTERPIECE!!!!

Ashelin jumps at the chance to go undercover, but only partly because she wants to contribute to the mission. The Viking King intrigues her, and she has unique talents that will get her close to him. What she doesn't anticipate is Nolan's own unique talents, and how quickly she desires to be completely at his mercy. Warnings: This story is rated mature for a reason.

As danger looms and tempers flare, he'll have to find a way to break down her walls before it's too late. *** Scars...some are worn on the outside and read like a book, others are hidden on the inside, unseen but shape every fabric of our being.

As if the first day at high school isn't bad enough, this is the day she finds her mate. Unfortunately, things get worse when she realizes that he is not just any wolf.

Full Blooded- DISCONTINUED
This is a world where power and dominance stand above anything and everything else. This is a world where you don't want to run around in the dark. This is a world where love is nothing other than a meaningless word used to describe the indescribable feeling of having a Mate. This is a world where wolves are dominant and only the most powerful survive. This is the world Silas, a loner and the first full blooded wolf in history, was born into. The world where she must prove her dominance in order to survive. * * * Unbearable pain erupted through my body, almost instantly. Dizziness made the room swirl unnaturally and darkness threatened to take over. "Up," the Alpha repeated. I tried, but, once again, I was rendered immobile. Another large syringe full of the green and silver mixture was injected into my body. This process repeated, time and time again. My body could not handle it. The room spun in quick, repeating circles as darkness surged, covering everything I saw and felt with a thick, black blanket. I couldn't remember anything. Not who I was. Not where I was. Not who was with me. Not what I was supposed to be doing. But, as I lay there, unconscious, beginning to go insane with pain, I could still hear, still remember, him. I could remember the voice of someone I had met, not that long ago, that already meant the world to me. I could remember the feeling of our wolves connecting, all but the new fifth member of my body, who had led me to this dark, dangerous place. I could remember feeling, for the first time in years, what it felt like to be happy. I could remember his name.
