"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear.
Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine.
"Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe.
"Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute.
A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?"
*****
She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation.
When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together.
As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back.
In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late?

Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.

Once she starts peeking through doors she shouldn't. What secrets will unfold? ************************************************************************************************** "I hate you!" "I hate you too!," he spat throwing the glass of liquor against the wall. Shattered glass spilled all over the wooden floor. I flinch from the sudden act I wasn't at all expecting from an alpha. Alphas are suppose to be mature, well behaved, and protective of their empire. Instead this alpha is the opposite of all these traits. "Why would the moon pair me up with someone like you? You're so mean," I mumble holding back my tears. "I suggest you go run to alpha Edon because I don't want you as my mate and never will!" With that said, alpha Luka turns his heel furiously exiting out of the room slamming the door shut leaving me frozen to the spot unable to speak as I process what he just said. Out of all the mean remarks he's thrown at me before. This one right here stabbed my fragile heart. What did I do to deserve such a mate like him? I may be the goddess of ice, but my heart isn't cold. • Book Two in the Alpha Series • (Not necessary to read the first book, Alpha Lysias. However, if interested it's available on my profile.)

Three kings, One mistake
"COMPLETED" Kaela is a fierce and complex character, born to four incredibly powerful beings: a werewolf, a vampire, a dragon, and an omega. While her birth was a stunning event, her family expected greatness. But what they got was a girl who didn't fit the mold. Unlike the Lycan King, born with immense power, Kaela was perceived as weak, lacking the same aura of strength. Her family-her parents, and especially her mates-mocked her, rejected her, and made her feel like an outcast from the moment she was born. But Kaela has a fire within her that can't be snuffed out. Bullied by everyone except her omega father, she grows up with an unrelenting determination to prove them all wrong. She finds solace in music and dance, her only outlets for expression. When her own brothers frame her for a crime she didn't commit and she's exiled from her pack, Kaela could've given up. But instead, she rises. With a billion-dollar check from her omega father, she redefines herself-turning her pain into power. Now a famous artist, Kaela is ready to take on the world that abandoned her. Her ex-mates-once the Lycan King, Vampire King, and Demon King-are about to find out just how wrong they were to underestimate her. But Kaela is more than just revenge; she's a woman on her own terms, unbothered by those who once thought they could control her. With three kings who once rejected her now desperately wanting her back, Kaela is the one in control-and she's about to make them regret the day they let her go.Complete
His Innocent Obsession
I felt him before I saw him. The air shifted, heavy and electric, and then he was there - filling the doorway of my shop like he owned it. Like he owned me. His eyes dragged over me slowly, deliberately, until my skin burned. I told myself to look away, to breathe, to move - but my body betrayed me. Lucien stepped closer, the scent of smoke and danger clinging to him. He reached out, brushing a single petal from my shoulder, his fingers grazing my skin as if testing how easily I'd break. "You hide behind flowers," he murmured, voice low enough to curl around my spine. "But I see the truth. You're trembling for me." My lips parted, but no words came. My pulse thundered, my knees weak, and still I couldn't step back. He leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. "You don't know it yet, Dahlia," he whispered, "but you're already mine." Dahlia Hart lives a quiet life running her late father's flower shop a haven of color and calm in a world she keeps at arm's length. But one night changes everything.

A possession waiting to be claimed. But Dahlia isn't as fragile as she seems. And Lucien, for all his cruelty, finds himself drawn to her innocence in ways he didn't expect. What begins as a hunt becomes something darker an obsession. One that blurs the line between protection and possession, desire and domination. This is my first book I hope you like it 🤗

CALLENDON | +18
I let his fingers slip between my lips and taste myself once again. "This is what you will do with me" he whispered looking at my lips. "You will wrap your lips around it" I followed his instructions and wrapped my lips around his two fingers. I looked at his eyes and I immediately found his gaze which was torn between my lips and eyes. He inhaled again before continuing speaking. "You will slowly lick and suck it" he winked with a grin. "And you will try your best to fully take me in your mouth like this" he said, pushing his fingers even more inside my mouth. He grabbed my chin with his free hand. "Isn't that right, Rea? You will try to take me all?" He slowly asked and I nodded bringing my own fingers to my clit, trying to touch it the same way he did. He looked down to what I was doing and grinned. "Good girl, but I will continue with that" he told me, removing his fingers from my mouth and grabbing my wrist to stop me. *** Finding a wounded man in the middle of the wood was the last thing Rea had imagined to see during her stroll. She had never thought her innocent gesture of rescuing and healing him would have turned her life upside down. He claimed her as his mate. A ruthless predator that enjoyed the kill and shedding blood around for his own purpose. He was part of a species her whole family told her to stay away from. Werewolves. And she discovered soon how she was mated to one of the strongest one. Callendon. Her personal nightmare. MATURE CONTENT - ONLY 18 + FOR MATURE AUDIENCE
Little Red and the Big, Bad, Wolf.
BOOK 1 OF THE BIG BAD WOLF SERIES: "R-Roman, stop," He lingers on each kiss, teasing me with his tongue. Sparks erupt. "You make me so damn angry," He says huskily, fanning his warm breath on my neck, making another shiver course through me. He places a kiss right below my ear, and I visibly shudder. He notices. He starts attacking the spot with his lips, and I bite my lip hard trying hard to not let the moan escape me. I involuntarily close my eyes. Everywhere he touches me sparks erupt. He starts sucking on the spot. "R-Roman, pl-please, st-top," I push lightly on his chest, but he doesn't even flinch. I didn't want this to happen, not when he was just being a total asshole 2 seconds ago. "Roman," I practically moan out his name. He starts gently biting me, and I melt into him. I put my hands on his shoulders and push him again, slightly harder this time, but as he keeps attacking my neck, I feel as though all the energy has been drained from me. "You're mine," he says huskily in between kisses. I self consciously nod. "Only mine-" He starts kissing and sucking my jaw, and I refrain from letting out a moan. "And you'll never talk to Dimitri or any of the warriors again." I open my eyes wide at his comment, and I push him back with all my strength. *** They said the Big Wolf was bad... They said no one could tame him... That his heart was made of ice... That he couldn't love anyone and no one could love him. His pack was ruthless... Killed without a second thought. They said Little Red was Human.... They said she was shy and quiet.... They said her innocence was like no other... That she was pack less. Helped without a thought... At least... That's what they say... Let me tell you the real story... *** WARNING: THIS BOOK HAS STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL THEMES, ABUSE, VIOLENCE, KIDNAPPING, DEATH AND HARASSMENT.
