The Broken Alpha by chrxmee0000

Kaiden Anderson is the future alpha of the Dark Moon Pack... but he doesn't want to be. Once full of life, Kaiden lost everything the day his father died. Things only got worse when his mother brought home a new mate and stepson. Years of abuse hardened him into someone quiet, distant, and convinced he was too broken to lead, let alone love. But fate doesn't care what Kaiden wants. When he turns of age, he discovers his mate is Lynx Waltz, a centuries-old hybrid and one of the most feared supernatural murderers in history. Lynx vanished after burning down his pack, only to resurface the moment he caught his mate's scent. Then there's Riley Oakley, a warlock who barely survived the rogue attack that killed his coven. Now, he finds himself in the Dark Moon Pack, only to learn he's mated to not one, but two werewolves. Wolves he never asked for. Wolves he wants dead. After suffering cruelty at their hands, Riley's hatred runs deeper than blood. And now, he's powerful enough to do something about it. He could love them... He could destroy them... Or he could burn the entire werewolf race to the ground. The only question is: Will he?

Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*

Buried Wishes ✔ by ObsessedwFiction

Warning: Mature Content. Outside, it was cold and breezy, with those familiar night stars that twinkled above us years ago. We walked side by side along the little path that ran across the gigantic grassy park at the center of campus. I held my breath every time my swinging hand brushed his, hoping to feel his warm palm in mine again. I just wanted more with him, but I knew it was wishful thinking. So I buried it. I buried it with the silence and the distant looks. I desperately wanted us to go back to being friends, before all the feelings showed up, before he embarrassed me in front of half the school by dismissing any chance at us being together. ~o~ Evelyn Martinez has had her heart broken exactly once, by Liam Saunders.

Trapped with Mr. Billionaire by Sunshiny_67

He's the grumpy billionaire boss. She's the mouthy assistant he never asked for. Now they're married──and it's war. Kiana Arora has hated Zavian Rajput for as long as she can remember. He was her pain in the ass, who ate her favourite cookies, almost broke her nose (accidentally), and never let her forget the time she bit him in a fit of rage. Now? He's her boss. Worse──her billionaire boss. She's fiery, impulsive, and allergic to being told what to do. He's cold, infuriatingly composed, and always in control. They clash like fire and ice... until a family arrangement drops a wedding-sized bomb on both of them. Now Kiana isn't just his assistant──she's Mrs. Rajput. As sparks fly and chaos unfolds in both the boardroom and the bedroom, Kiana finds herself trapped between loathing Zavian....and wondering what it would feel like if he kissed her like he means it. Enemies at heart. Spouses on paper. Chaos in reality. Welcome to their accidentally arranged, totally unprofessional, and explosively swoon-worthy love story.
