Vitality (Vitality Series #1) by Crysta_levere_author

A violent passion. A dangerous bond. A nightmare that will change everything. To Ava, love is about as real as fairytales. But it might be that fairytales, myths, and magic have some truth to them after all - as well as the monsters that lie in the shadows. Or she could just be completely out of her mind. After a mental breakdown and a move to a new town, everything changes when Ava clashes with a stranger with eyes as black as midnight and a terrifying sinister air. Her wishes to feel something again become granted. But Ava soon learns that not only is he as cold as he is beautiful, but he brings something out of her, stronger than ever, like fuel to fire - something she's desperate to bury. He haunts her dreams and waking life, and staying away becomes harder than she could have ever imagined, risking her life, her humanity, and the people that she cares about. Not to mention the fate of the world. She's fighting for life. He's fighting for death. What does it take to live? What does it take to love?

The Mate Curse by HeatherWampler

When a blood-marked witch steps into cursed wolf territory, she expects to fight. She doesn't expect the land to recognize her. Seren has spent her life surviving the bond that was never hers to choose - a legacy of magic, prophecy, and silence passed down by witches who once feared the forest more than they understood it. But when she bleeds on the ancient shrine hidden deep within wolf-run lands, she awakens something older than the packs. Something that doesn't want to be sealed again. Kael is Alpha by birth but not by hunger. Stoic, fierce, and bound to a curse he never believed in, he watches Seren with more than suspicion. He watches her like a question - one only the forest can answer. And when her magic starts reshaping the world around them, he'll have to decide whether she's his mate... or the end of everything he knows. But the spiral magic doesn't demand obedience. It demands a choice. As ancient powers stir, blood oaths fracture, and the bond between witch and wolf deepens, Seren must unravel the truth behind the curse - and decide whether fate was ever written in stone, or if love can be carved into something new.

But when a violent crime unsettles the fragile truce, all signs point to her arrival being more than coincidence. The legacy written in her blood has finally come to claim her.

As murders mount and truths surface, Selen is thrust into a deadly mystery that binds her to Kael, the wolves, and the legacy she never asked for. But under the blood moon, nothing stays buried-and love may be the most dangerous crime of all.

Rejected then Claimed by the Alpha by Benithecreator

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.

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. And if the Alpha thinks he can claim us now... he'll learn that nothing is fiercer than a mother who refuses to be erased. #rejectedmate #forbiddenbon #onenightstand #Alpha
