Selene D'Arsen, a skilled thief, is hired to infiltrate the cursed estate of Lord Kael Veyrath, a man bound by an ancient pact with death. Rumors swirl that Kael is immortal, trapped between life and death, and his manor is a prison for the souls he cannot escape. As Selene uncovers the secrets of Kael's dark past, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected.

Despite her mission to betray him, Selene's growing feelings for Kael blur the line between duty and desire. The more she learns, the more she questions her loyalty-especially as the Order that hired her reveals its true intentions. As Kael's curse intensifies, Selene must choose between saving him or letting the shadows consume them both.

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim) by excel_arthur

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.

Veil of Control by asolauthor

Vesper has lived her life in the shadows, hiding a secret that could condemn her to chains- or worse. Born with forbidden telekinetic power, she knows what happens to those with gifts like hers: they vanish into the King's grasp, dragged from their homes and never seen again. Some say they're executed. Others whisper of hidden prisons beneath the palace. Vesper intends to find out. Disguised as a servant, she slips into the heart of the royal court, determined to uncover where the missing are taken and how she can help them. But the palace is a labyrinth of rivalries, lies, and hungry eyes, each more dangerous than the last. Prince Euris, the scholar with a kind smile and quiet defiance, draws her closer with a gentleness she hasn't known in years. With him, she begins to feel like more than just a survivor. But Euris is fighting battles of his own-and trusting him could tangle her heart in a war she can't afford to lose. And then there is Caen, the King's shadow and rumored telepath. His gaze strips her bare, his presence a weight pressing on her mind. Every encounter is a duel: his relentless probing against her fragile shields. Terrifying, magnetic, he knows she has secrets-and he won't stop until he unravels them. As war brews beyond the palace walls and loyalties fracture within them, Vesper finds herself caught between two powerful men, between desire and deception, between survival and sacrifice. But one truth grows sharper with every passing day: if she isn't careful, the palace will consume her, body and soul. And if Caen learns what she truly is, there will be no hiding at all.
