The Luna's Fated Choice by ImpressDivinity

"Trapped between two alphas... Kaidaira has been tormented by Joshua, her pack's ruthless alpha, since she was a teenager. But when Darius, a mysterious and handsome alpha, arrives with a claim to her heart, Luna's world is turned upside down. As she navigates pack politics and ancient traditions, Luna uncovers secrets about both alphas that threaten to destroy everything. Torn between loyalty and love, she must choose: submit to Joshua's tyranny or risk all for a chance at true love and freedom with Darius. Who will she choose? And what will be the cost?" A good mostly clean read. Quick for a short ride or time filler during the day or a trip. May say mature because of content but I tried to make this a clean story that most ages from 13 up could enjoy although I did aim for a 25 plus crowd.

The Veils Of Rivalry (ON HOLD) by _unhingedauthor_

What happens when two souls, set on each other's destruction, collide? "I will destroy her till she regrets her own existence." "I will wait till he regrets his decisions." A marriage bound not by love, but by vengeance. Shivansh entered into matrimony with Samriddhi, not as a husband, but as a punisher. His mother's tragic death had left him shattered, and in his grief, he sought justice-or perhaps retribution. Convinced that Samriddhi was the key to uncovering the truth, he vowed to make her suffer. But as he walked the treacherous path of revenge, the lines between hatred and love began to blur. He never anticipated the depth of her pain, the secrets she carried, or the silent battles she had fought long before he entered her life. Slowly, against his will, he found himself drawn to her-not just to her beauty, but to her strength, her resilience, and the sorrow hidden behind her eyes. But was love enough to erase the wounds of the past? Could Samriddhi ever forgive the man who married her with the intent to ruin her? And was Shivansh truly punishing the right person, or had he been blinded by his own misconceptions? As buried truths unraveled, they found themselves entangled in a web of lies, betrayals, and long-forgotten sins. Every revelation brought a new storm, testing the fragile bond they had unknowingly built. Did they find their happily ever after? Maybe. Was Love easy for them? Certainly Not. Love was never meant to be easy for them. Twists awaited at every turn, shadows from Samriddhi's past loomed over them, and the ghosts of their choices refused to fade. Dive into their world-a tale of vengeance, love, and redemption, where nothing is as it seems, and every secret has the power to change everything.
