The haunting house

What is a Soulmate? After ten years of fruitless efforts, fully bonded, beloved mates Kingston and Sora have failed to produce the Thornwoof pack Alpha heir. Time has run out. The ancient Tenth Law, with all its archaic rules and procedures, is enacted and, over the Luna's objections, the Alpha is forced to use a Breeder for the continued survival of the pack. Survival is messy. McKay has arrived prepared to provide life for a pack in need. What the well-meaning young Breeder isn't prepared for is the powerful feeling for a mated wolf that is not hers. Will the destined child be their ruin? Questions must be answered - what is a soulmate? Set in a modern world, this is not a fairy tale ending - it's a cautionary tale of how folklore gets written. "See TRIGGER warnings before you proceed."

Her life was supposed to be stable. Not perfect. Not exciting. Just... stable. A job. A mortgage. A routine barely held together with coffee and denial. But in a world where supernatural beings-known as the Legends walk openly among humans, stability is never guaranteed for long. When Charlotte loses her job without warning, everything she worked so hard to build begins to crack. Bills don't wait. Time doesn't slow down. And the world she thought she understood is quietly shifting beneath her feet. The Legends control the best jobs, the best lives, and the kind of power humans can't compete with anymore. Everyone knows it. Everyone accepts it. Charlotte just tries to survive it. Until something starts to change. In a world ruled by fate-bound beings who recognize their mates by instinct alone, Charlotte has always believed she was safely outside that story. Too ordinary. Too human. Too overlooked. But fate has never cared about what she believes. And once the Legends start paying attention... nothing in her life will ever be simple again. Because some bonds are not chosen. They are claimed.

Vedika's confusion quickly turned to shock as Aarav forcefully gripped her face and pressed his lips harshly against hers, right in front of all the media and guests.

The day I finally learned I was carrying the baby I had waited years for, I saw my husband with another family. Alistair Ravenscroft is one of the wealthiest and most dangerous Alphas in England. He rules the northern pack from an ancient castle, can bring hundreds of wolves to their knees with a single command, and for eight years, he called me his one true mate. But he already has a child. A little girl with Lydia-my younger half sister, the daughter born from my father's affair. I had spent my entire life trying not to blame her for the betrayal that destroyed my mother's marriage. All the while, I was terrified of repeating my mother's fate. I never imagined my own husband would make me live through almost the exact same thing. I run from the pack, knowing Alphas do not let their true mates go. My only chance is the protection of Gideon Ashcombe, Alistair's longtime rival. But my husband finds me anyway.

She was his mate. He threw her away like garbage. Now she's rising from the ashes-and they will burn. Raven Blackwood was born wolf-less, a defect in a world where wolves are everything. But she had love-a doting family, a loyal best friend, and a mate who promised her forever. Then her best friend stole her mate. Her pack turned against her. And the man who swore to love her rejected her publicly, banishing her from everything she'd ever known. Broken and alone, Raven flees into the wilderness, ready to die. Instead, she awakens the wolf that was always sleeping inside her-Ember, a powerful, ancient wolf with golden eyes and a fiery spirit. Now Raven must build a new life from the ashes of her old one. She finds refuge with a pack of outcasts and rogues, wolves who've been rejected by their own kind. And when they choose her as their Luna-the first woman to lead without an Alpha-she begins to discover the true depth of her power. But the Moon Goddess has more in store for Raven. A second chance mate waits for her-Kael, a powerful Alpha who's been mateless for twelve years and has sworn to worship his mate above all others. As Raven rises, her old pack watches in jealousy. Damon, her ex-mate, begins to regret his choice. Lila, her former best friend, trembles in fear. And Raven smiles. Because she's no longer the weak, wolf-less girl they discarded. She's the Luna who rose alone. And now, she will burn them all.

In the slums of Dawnridge, humans dream small. A full stomach. A warm bed. A single golden petal drifting from the Spring Union Parade, said to promise love and a better future. Zaria has stopped believing in fairytales, but she still searches for the petal every year. Because hope is hard to kill. Beyond the crumbling streets of Dawnridge, tension between humans and wolf-shifters grows more dangerous by the day. Villages refuse to unite, old hatred festers, and the borders weaken against the horrors lurking beyond them, from flesh-ripping rotfangs to child-stealing skullcrows and rebels eager to watch the kingdoms burn. When Crown Prince Cassius arrives in his bedridden father's place to restore order, he expects resistance. What he does not expect is her. Cold, ruthless, and fiercely loyal to his kingdom, Cassius believes humans and wolf-shifters should remain separated, though he honours the fragile alliance for the sake of his father's wishes. Then one encounter with a fiery, stubborn human girl changes everything. After fate chains Zaria and Cassius together in ways neither of them expected, they are drawn into a dangerous world of political unrest, buried secrets, deadly creatures, and a bond that threatens everything they thought they knew about loyalty, hatred, and themselves. Because some chains are stronger than iron. And some fates refuse to be broken.

බිදුනු හදවතක් තියාගෙන තවදුරටත් ජීවත් වෙන එක ආදරෙ හොයන එක මට මහ හුගක් අමාරු දෙයක් කියලා මට දැන් දැනෙනවා.. (copy)

Seth's expression was unyielding, his next words delivered with ruthless precision. "I, Seth Langston, Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, reject you, Ariah Lockwood, as my mate and as Luna of this pack. As Alpha, my word is law. I don't need your acceptance to sever this bond." I can't remember the last time I smiled-or even felt happy. My nightmare began the day I couldn't shift at ten years old, unlike everyone else in the pack. Since then, it's been an endless torment. Why am I the only one broken? Why must I suffer for something beyond my control? Why am I cast aside by those I thought were my family? But it's alright. Everything will be alright. Because I will be their downfall.
