TAINTED
By [Sa'Bree Jasper]
A royal baby, born under suspicion and shame, was sentenced to death by the King himself. His crime? Being the child of a Queen accused of betrayal.
But the blade never fell.
Instead, a loyal guard defied his oath and smuggled the infant into the human world, hiding him beyond the reach of magic and memory. Nineteen years passed. The boy-Alexander-grew up unaware of who he truly was, or what fate had once been written for him in blood.
The guard never returned.
But someone else did.
A girl cloaked in secrets and duty has come to lead Alexander back-not just to his forgotten kingdom, but into a legacy he never asked for and a war he never saw coming.
He was meant to die.
Instead... he's the key to everything.

My Monster Mate (Book I)
Book One in the My Mate Series - "Elijah," Alexander calls in this terrifying voice. I know it's dangerous but I ignore him, I keep my eyes shut and continue to rock myself back and forth, my hands blocking my ears. I didn't want to look at him, I didn't want to see those black orbs. "Look at me." He demands, his voice depicting his rage. "No," I whisper. "Look at me or I swear, I will do it!" He shouts. I'm not completely sure what 'it' is but I'm sure it has to do with death. Although the poor kid probably wants exactly that. I want that for him right now. It must be a lot less painful than what he's probably going through. Slowly, I reluctantly remove my hands from my ears and pick up my head from my knees, I open my eyes gazing up at him. As soon as I do - I wish I hadn't. Because as soon as I do Alexander snaps his neck. I gasp, tears sliding down my cheeks even faster than they were before. My mate is a monster. "I told you." He laughs, "I am a monster. And guess what?" He pauses, as if daring me to say something, "I don't intend on changing for anyone and especially not you." - Copyright © Mbalii *NOT man x man. *Completed.Complete

"Victoria, you really thought I would let you get away with everything you planned? Just because your rotten little family died? God you people are so oblivious." I took a step back; his words were drenched in venom. "B-but... y-you...I" I choked on my own words. "Oh please, you really thought I was in love with you? It was my plan all along. To get into your pity group, find out your backstories, fall in love with you, find out your master plan and destroy it." Tears pricked my eyes, but I wouldn't let them fall. I wouldn't let him see me suffer. I wouldn't. Before I could process anything that had just come out of his mouth, he lunged at me.Complete
Moon Bound - PART I & II - (Book 1 in the Original ROYAL HOWLERS Duology) ✔
*NOTE: THIS STORY HAS TWO PARTS IN ONE BOOK* In the werewolf fables told to their children, was a story--- a legend--- of a ruler--- a leader--- who would be born as the peace maker for their species. This leader would be the answer to a broken road, a 'Chosen One' who would provide a better future. Though it is a fable, just merely a story for bedtime to werewolf children, there was faith in it. There was hope such a legendary hero would be born and save them. And then the time had come, when a child---a boy---was born at Twilight--- the hour of the Moon Goddess--- and bore the marking of the Deity, sealing his fate; and everything---and everyone--- that twines with it. ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT*** This has two parts and I decided to keep it all in one book instead of breaking it up in two. Honorable Mentions: FEB 2018: FIRST PLACE WINNER FOR @UNDISCOVEREDWOLVES BOOK OF THE YEAR (20K - 50K)Complete
Light (old version)
~old version, look at the other one~ Jasper is the typical prince you don't want to piss off; cold, unforgiving, and mysterious. He is alright with living his life with this cold facade, having fully prepared himself for dying alone and friendless. He doesn't want to do anything about his boring life, for he believes himself far too lazy to achieve anything substantial. Unfortunately, all that changes when he is forced into a marriage with a lord's daughter, and his long lost brother suddenly resurfaces. As deeply buried emotions start to tug at his heart, how long can he keep up his 'facade'? I SHLD BE ADDING TRIGGER WARNINGS here it goes (takes a deep breath) Graphic violence & torture Psychological abuse & manipulation Captivity & imprisonment Forced servitude Self-destructive behavior Blood, injuries, chronic illness / disability PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, dissociation, body dysmorphia (Listing some of Jas's mental illnesses out like a cake recipe) Death of family members / execution Power imbalance & morally grey protagonist Subtle themes of toxic dynamics REALLY dubious consent Hopelessness and despair Moral corruption Implied sexual trauma Public humiliation & degredation Grooming undertones and control (i'm looking at u elios) Love as manipulation Self loathing&blame Panic attacks Execution scenes Confinement and starvation
Haunted Eyes
#6 in suicide silence 10/05/25 "Jasper didn't look up. His entire frame was curled around her, shielding her body like he thought he could keep death out if he just held her tight enough." ~~ Evangeline never asked to inherit her mother's bloodline - a legacy steeped in prophecy, betrayal, and powers too dangerous to name. All she wants is to survive. But when she's torn from the life she knew and thrust into a hidden world of wolves, witches, and war, survival means facing the truth she's been running from. Haunted by trauma and hunted by those who claim to love her, Evangeline struggles to control gifts that feel more like a curse. Trust is a luxury she can't afford-until Jasper, the fierce Alpha bound by duty and desire, vows to protect her even from herself. But every step toward him brings her closer to the shadows of her past...and the father who will stop at nothing to destroy her. In a world where the line between life and death blurs, can her haunted eyes still see the light? Keep in mind that you may not always like what the characters do, or feel, but this story is about understanding their humanity and the choices they make in extraordinary circumstances. Warning ⚠️ mentions of suicidal ideation and suicidal tendencies, depression, anxiety, sexual/physical assault, domestic violence, and possible self harm. ⚠️ viewer discretion is advised

Under Knight's Spell
The first time Riley sees Alexander Knight, he imagines him between his legs-rough hands, filthy mouth, breaking him apart like he was made for it. Six-foot-three of power and ruin, smelling of smoke and whiskey, looking at him like a man already planning the crime. He hadn't come to the countryside to lose himself. He came for sun, silence, and maybe a little healing. But Alexander is his best friend's father. Powerful. Impossible. The kind of man who commands a room without speaking, whose stare feels like a hand around your throat. One look becomes a touch that tastes like danger. One touch spirals into a night he can't forget. And one night turns into an addiction he refuses to fight. They swore it would only happen once. Summer's heat makes liars of them both. In stolen midnight rooms and against cold walls, Riley learns what it means to be claimed-body, breath, and every trembling, broken part of himself. But secrets echo louder than any moan. And someone is always listening. Under Knight's Spell Of Lust and Legacy: Book 1 By Chase Monre 🔥 Explicit. Forbidden. Deliciously dangerous. Warning: Contains graphic scenes, a taboo age-gap dynamic, and a love so brutal it might break you first.Complete

"You wish, Ea. I surmount you in all things," I wink, then whisper. "Bottom." Ea chuckles dryly.
