dystopian gladiator mashup paranormal post-apocalyptic vampire

The great cataclysm wiped almost all life from the face of planet Earth, but tiny pockets of survivors crawled from the ashes, with only one thought: survival, at any cost. 
But not all survivors were human. 
In the dark, militant society that has risen in the aftermath, vampires, once thought to be mythical, have been assimilated and enslaved. Used for blood sport their lives are allowed to continue only for the entertainment of the masses. Reviled as savages, they are destined to serve out their immortal lives in the arena, as gladiators. 
And there is no greater gladiator than Mira: undefeated, uncompromising...and seemingly unbreakable. When an escape attempt leads Mira into the path of Lucian Stavros, the city's Regent, her destiny is changed forever. 
Lucian, raised in a culture which both reviles and celebrates the savagery and inhumanity of vampires, finds Mira as intriguing as she is brash. An impulsive decision - to become Mira's patron - changes more than just Lucian's perception about vampire kind. The course of his life is altered in ways he could never have predicted - a life that is suddenly as expendable as hers. 
Can Mira prove to Lucian that all is not as it seems? Can Lucian escape centuries of lies, bloodshed, and propaganda to see the truth? Or will the supreme power of the human overlords destroy them both?All Rights Reserved

The Werewolf Heir by CatMaster17

*Book 3 of Reuniting The Council Series* Maya once was a slave to rogues, all her life in fact. But one day that all changed. The day that Crystal showed up, taking Maya away from her horrible life. Crystal takes Maya on a journey, keeping who she really was a secret. And keeping on the move the whole time a secret also. Little taste of the book :)~~~Walking down several halls, I finally come to the metal door of the dungeons. Walking through, power flows off of me in waves of bone chilling darkness, all of those pathetic little prisoners cower away back into the corners of their cells like smart little rats, except two. "I will never bow to you ever again!" Yells Maya. "Neither will I!" Shouts Crystal Chuckling, "Well sooner or later, little heirs. You will bow to me. It may not be today, possibly not even tomorrow, but you never know. My methods are extremely effective. Especially when it comes to such...breakable little participants. I'm sure you'll both be more than willing." I give them a toothy grin, oh how I can't wait to hear their screams, the cracking of their bones, the dripping of their blood as they submit and remember who is truly in charge of this world. Of them. "I WILL NEVER BOW TO YOU! YOU SICK BASTARD! LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR OWN BROTHER! HE'S ON HIS DEATHBED! RIGHT AS WE SPEAK! WE'VE ESCAPED YOUR MEN AND WE CAN DO IT AGAIN!" Crystal full on screams out at me, close to tearing her throat raw from shouts.~~~ What is Crystal keeping a secret? But the real question is, who is Maya? She has no last name, so who is her family? Where will their adventures take them? You never know until the end. Don't be surprised if their comes a twist plot! :D This series will go between different super naturals views. Through there journeys until the last book which, I wont uncover until later on.

The Rejected Mate by SpencerSuprema

Midnight River Book 6 - Sebastian is a Witch who is in love with his Werewolf boyfriend, Miracolo Thurston. They've been together for a couple of years, but one day, Mira finds his Mate who gives him the ultimatum of breaking up with his Witch boyfriend or rejecting him. Mira chose to end things with Sebastian. This was their agreement from the beginning, so Sebastian isn't as mad as he could have been. He picks up and moves to an abandoned one room cabin in the woods and when setting up protective wards, his magic comes across something odd. An albino Werewolf, malnourished and injured. The most intriguing part is that Wolf is his Linker. - Adrian grew up in a laboratory. He doesn't know anything of the outside world, and his vocabulary is limited to the early, formative years. No one spoke when they attended to him. When he turned twenty, his first Mate rejected him and kept him down in the basement laboratory. One day, a group of Wolves comes in and rescues everyone. Mason is the only one who can calm him, but when his Wolf feels healthy enough, he leaves Midnight River and runs to the forest, where he comes across a male Witch in a small cabin. With an Omega having Witch blood and a Fire Affinity and a lifetime of trauma, bonding is tricky for the pair. The Witches have been ordered not to retaliate against the group that has spent the last twenty years kidnapping Wolves with Witch blood to drain them as often as they can before they die... But being Adrian's Mate means Sebastian can. And he means to. *This book is the 6th one in the Midnight River Series. While it doesn't specifically take place inside the Pack, it covers a lot of lingering issues and hopefully will resolve things.

Halfblood by slowburnlovers

Their Warrior: A Slow Burn Why Choose Series by addicted2dragons

Nearly twenty years in the fighting pits taught me three things: trust no one, keep your blades sharp, and never let them see you bleed. Then House Ravilon bought me. Now I'm surrounded by five fae males who think they can crack me open. Axlan with his easy charm and protective streak. Silas and his silence, keeping secrets that set my teeth on edge. Reyker, whose training sessions feel like actual combat. Lysander, whose questions cut deeper than blades. And...Finley, the house heir who gives orders like breathing. They say I'm being trained for elite tournaments. They're lying. There's something else going on. Something in the way they move around me, like I'm worth protecting. When my body betrays me with desires I didn't know I could feel, the real game becomes clear. They don't just want my skill in the arena. They want everything. I've spent decades building walls that could stop armies. But these five aren't attacking from the outside. They're making me want to tear the walls down myself. "Their Warrior" is the first book in The Thirteenth House Series. It is a "why choose"/ reverse harem romantic fantasy where the deadliest opponent might be your own heart. **Please see the author's note for trigger warnings and posting details**

Not your Average Cinderella✔️ by princesstreatment

Book two of a different kind of fairy tale series (can be read as a stand-alone but I do suggest reading as a series) *His fangs came forward. "Mine," he growled as he sank his fangs into my neck. He pumped his fingers roughly in and out of me. "Sebastian," i moaned. His thumb rubbed my clit as he fucked me with his fingers. "Stop," i whispered after he was drinking for too long. He pushed another finger inside me, causing to moan loudly. He pinched my clit. "Sebastian, please i know you can," i whispered, forcing myself to hold back my moan. "Please don't make me use the command." He jumped back off the bed and against the wall. I pressed my hand on my neck. "I told you." "I almost didn't," he growled. "And yet you. I knew you could." "Next time i'll turn you. The next time i drink from you i'll turn you, a command won't stop me."* Everyone has heard of the story of Cinderella.

Protector of the Crown by MandySAuthor

COMPLETED BOOK I was trained to be a weapon for the kingdom. I was forced into servitude to the King after my family was ripped from me. My new life was covered in the blood of my family...and now I had to protect the royal family who ordered my parents' death. They're all monsters, except for him...he was my charge and as much as I wanted to hate him, the prince was nothing like his vicious father. He was a warm light in my cold and dark world. I was supposed to be controlled, cold, calculating and deadly, but he made me crave freedom, warmth and all the things I thought died with my family. I no longer knew my path...but I knew it led to him. ****** Don't hesitate to let me know what you think of my book or if you see grammatical errors/plot holes! *16+ is recommended...sex is implied but not described (I came up with that little rhyme while I was brushing my teeth this morning!) and there are scenes of violence.

The Vampire Apocalyse Series Book 7 - Territories Divided by LimitlessNL

Two centuries (given or taken) after vampires emerged as the dominant species, a delicate balance of power exists between the five great Archdukes. While Orlov clings to medieval tradition in the south, Archduke Dante of the Northern Dominion and Archduchess Seraphina of the Eastern Enclaves maintain the appearance of traditional vampire nobility while secretly preserving technologies that could secure their kind's future among the stars. Their carefully separated worlds collide when an experimental mishap creates an anomaly at their shared border. But the greater shock comes when their mysterious benefactor delivers an unexpected "gift" - a terrified human woman designated only as A-731, whose mind has been shaped by blood farm captivity and the Sacred Wheel doctrine that promises good humans will become vampires in their next life. As the Archdukes discover her limited worldview and desperate longing for transformation, they face an impossible ethical dilemma. Meanwhile, their growing attachment to her-and surprisingly, to each other-threatens centuries of carefully maintained emotional distance. All while traditional forces gather, viewing their "rehabilitation" of a mere blood resource as dangerous ideological subversion. In a world where immortality has become mundane, three beings from vastly different realities will discover that the greatest adaptation may not be technological or biological, but the capacity to form connections across seemingly insurmountable divides.
