Selected By The Half-Blood Prince
Maeve Edgar's life plan was simple: survive until Selection Day, then disappear forever. As the pack's favorite scapegoat, she's spent years perfecting the art of being invisible. But when she gets kidnapped and dumped in front of the most dangerous prince in the kingdom, invisible stops being an option.
Prince Riven is everything the rumors say - cold, lethal, and absolutely not interested in playing nice. So why does he choose her for some mysterious academy that nobody's ever heard of? And why does being near him feel like remembering something she never knew she'd forgotten?
Turns out the Blood Moon Academy is where pack heirs compete in brutal trials to earn a place in the Royal Court. Now she's stuck fighting alongside the same spoiled brats who used to torment her, trying to prove she belongs somewhere she was never supposed to be.
The connection between them grows stronger with every moment they're in the same room. It's the kind of bond wolves used to have before the Great War - the kind everyone says is just a myth now.
But people are asking questions about her family, her past, her dreams of faces she's never seen. The wrong kind of people. And some of them seem very interested in making sure she doesn't get the answers she's looking for.
The Academy was supposed to be about earning her place in the world. Turns out it might be about remembering who she used to be.

Chapter: 37. The Dungeon Trial IICADEN'S POVThe darkness in my cell felt like it was breathing, pressing against me from all sides. At first, I tried to stay calm. Tried to tell myself this was just some stupid test I had to get past to prove myself. I hated the fact that I didn't make it to Crown on my own. It felt pathetic being chosen. Even though I didn't want to be here, it was better to make the most of it.A slave couldn't be better than I was. Never.But after what felt like hours, nothing was happening and I felt alone with myself. Then the visions started.I was a child again, sitting in my parents' bedroom three days after the funeral. The house still smelled like the flowers people had brought, but they were wilted now. I looked through their things and I couldn't believe that they were gone. My parents who treated everyone kindly were dead, betrayed by their trusted warrior."They're gone," I whispered to the empty room. "They're really gone."I was still pouring out tears without restraint when Uncle B

Chapter: 36. The Dungeon Trial I MAEVE'S POVWe'd barely had time to catch our breath from the obstacle course when they herded us all back into the main hall. My hands were still tingling from the burns, but they were mostly healed now."Think they're going to give us a break?" Dalia asked hopefully."Doubt it," Kaida muttered, looking around at the other candidates. Everyone looked tired and beaten up. They were more than a little nervous about what was coming next.The horn sounded and everyone turned to find Prince Harrion stepping up to the announcement platform with his poised confidence. Looking at him now, I mentally noted how different he was from when he was trying to talk to me. He looked more cold and a bit rigid.Prince Riven came up with Viela and they stood on opposing sides of him. His expression was carefully blank like it usually was, but there was something in his posture that suggested he wasn't happy about something.Prince Harrion's voice broke my train of thought.

Chapter: 35. Obstacle of Death IIMAEVE'S POV Their screams filled the space as I watched them limp to the finish line.I watched Darius gain on Vex, who had been aggressively pulling his weight, but then he got to the place where he had to stop and calculate the timing of the geysers and almost lost his balance to fall over into the spikes. Darius moved past him, and so did Caden and Maverick, showing they had already studied the timing.At the end, the best times were Darius, Caden, and Vex, and Maverick.I didn't have time to hear the rest as nerves bubbled in my stomach. I was next."We got this, Nyla. Don't try to be fast, be careful too," I squeezed her arms as we were called. Kaida gave me a thumbs up as I sent her a smirk.As we stood ready, I felt a familiar gaze on me and looked to see Prince Riven was here. His face was unreadable, but he was stiffer than usual.I tore my gaze away and got prepared. "Lyra, let's get this," I saw her mentally get ready.As the whistle blew, I made a dash for it.

Chapter: 34. Obstacle of Death IMAEVE'S POVIt's been three days, and today is the day of the Academy trials. The past few days have been a mix of funny and tense, with Dalia and Kaida telling me about their little prank on Caden. Caden sent glaring threats but said nothing to any of us. No accusations of any sort, which was so unlike him.We all didn't know how the placements would work, but we tried to get the best out of it, especially Nyla. We enjoyed every privilege Crown had to offer. Kaida seemed unbothered about the trials, but Dalia was panicking. Nyla and I agreed to brace ourselves for whatever was coming.I told her no matter what happens, nothing would change between us and she should be selfish with her decisions. I wouldn't take offense. We agreed if the games called for cooperation, we would work together, but out there it's every wolf for themselves.I hadn't seen Riven, but I knew it was too soon for him to need another feeding session. Still, I was secretly hoping he'd at least come to wish me luc

Chapter: 33. Old Friends, New GamesKAIDA'S POV I was just settling down when the knock on my door came in, I opened it to find Dalia rushing in like it wad her room not mine. But I couldn't help but notice how red her eyes were. "Let me guess," I said, "coming closer, “Caden problems." She flopped dramatically onto my bed, "I'm over him," she declared like she was trying so hard to convince herself as much as she was trying to convince me. I raised an eyebrow. "Okay…So why do you look like you've been crying into your pillow for the past hour?" "Because I'm angry," she said, sitting up straighter. "I'm angry that I wasted so much time on someone who never gave a damn about me. And I want to get back at him." Now that was interesting. Finally, Dalia was speaking my language. "What did you have in mind?" I asked, settling into the chair across from her. Her smile turned wicked in a way that reminded me she was related to Maeve. "Something that would cause him discomfort but not get us in too much trouble if we're

Chapter: 32. Hidden Agendas MAEVE'S POVI swore under my breath, cursing that idiot Vex. Because of his need to start drama, I couldn't even enjoy my first proper rich breakfast full of fluffy pastries, fresh fruit, meat that wasn't dried or salted into leather. Instead, we were all picking at our food with nervous fingers while the clock ticked down.The officials had given us exactly fifteen minutes to meet them at the central training arena before sweeping out like harbingers of doom. Most of us could barely eat as we were too busy anticipating whatever they had planned.When the alarm sounded, we rushed down corridors and then into the arena that was significantly bigger than our private training space back in Crown dorms. The central arena was massive, built to accommodate a larger number, and it felt a tad bit intimidating.Harrion and Riven stood at the center, as Harrion started to address us."For too long, you've relied on your wolves for strength," Harrion began, his voice, loud and clear across the e

The Comeback of a Star
“You have no idea what you’re asking for, do you?” he said.
I felt a slight sting of offence. “And what was that supposed to mean?”
He took a step closer, his face dangerously close to mine. I could feel the air shift. His presence filled the room. His hand moved to my cheek, stroking it lightly.
“I have a good feeling this isn’t your thing because you look like a doe in a den of wolves.” His voice dropped to a quiet, low rumble, making my stomach flip with excitement.
Ayra had been the perfect wife—loyal, accomplished, and willing to sacrifice everything for the man she loved. But when he betrayed her with the one person she despised most, she didn't beg or cry. Instead, she slammed the divorce papers in his face and walked away.
A reckless one-night stand with this dangerously charming stranger seems like freedom until she discovers his true identity.
As Ayra fights to rebuild her life, a figure from her forgotten past reappears, threatening to change everything.
She’s not just leaving her old life behind, she’s determined to create a better one.

Chapter: 54. Scarlett LIAMI smiled as I remembered Ayra's confession about her feelings for me and her desire for us to be together exclusively. Finally, she was mine, officially exclusive without hesitation or doubts. The wait had been worth it, but now that she was committed, I planned to make sure she never regretted choosing me.I picked up my phone to make a call to Matteo's. It's a private and exclusive dining establishment that doesn't advertise or take walk-ins. You have to know someone who knows someone, and even then, you must be vetted before being given access.But my good friend Matteo had already had everything fixed and planned for me. Before I came back, he wanted me to have a good time. And that was where I was meeting him the night I went to the nightclub where I met Ayra for the first time, which led to us being here today.I'm forever grateful to Matteo for that invitation. It was crazy how she thought I was working there. A server had initially spilled my drink that night and was so

Chapter: 53. Good, Sexy, and Powerful AYRA"Yes, no pressure. If you don't want to meet her, it's fine. Just keeping you in the loop. Don't worry, she isn't as tough as she looks or sounds. She's always concerned, and you two have a lot in common." He smiled."We do?""You're both nosy." He laughed as I swatted his hands away.I was still nervous about the whole thing, but his comment put me at ease. I guess that would be a bridge I'd cross when it arrived.We pulled up to my apartment building, and before I got out, Liam pulled me in for one more kiss. "Tonight, seven o'clock. Wear something that makes you feel good, sexy, and powerful." He smiled."Good, sexy, and powerful. Got it," I smiled."And Cupcake, text me throughout the day. I want to know how filming goes. I want to know when you get the news.""What news?""You'll see." He kissed me again.********I arrived at the set with Raven and felt like I was on top of the world. Everything with Liam felt more settled now. We were defined, and it felt as real as any r

Chapter: 52. How Did I Get So Lucky? AYRA"You don't have to say a thing. I've just been exploring possibilities. Nothing is set in stone. Nothing happens unless you want it to. However, I wanted to have real opportunities ready to present to you, rather than just vague ideas. I wanted everything to be perfect, if you want it, of course. This isn't me forcing it on you. I just felt like this is something you could go into and thrive. You are a brand, Ayra. I don't know if you know that yet. And I'm not that dumb to bet on something I know wouldn't win. I always win, so I always bet on winners. And you, Ayra, are a winner."Unshed tears pooled in my eyes at his confidence in me and what I stood for. The words were stuck in my throat as I couldn't find the right ones to speak.How did I get so lucky?Where had he been all my life?"Why are you so nice to me?" was all I could manage. "Why do all this for me?""Because you're talented, because you deserve options, because..." He stood up as both hands found their way to my

Chapter: 51. Waking Up to Face the MusicAYRAI woke up to soft sheets and an expensive, familiar cologne that made my stomach flutter. The room was dark, so I rose slowly from the bed to avoid hurting myself.I made my way out of bed and padded softly across the floor. I could hear sounds coming from somewhere in the house. Was that music? And the sounds of pots clanging. I ran my hands through my messy hair as the events of last night came flooding back to me in vivid detail.The sex toy shopping. The drunk phone calls. Liam picking me up. And the vibrator buzzing out of nowhere before I threw it in shock.Oh my God, I groaned, covering my face with my palms. I can't believe I did that. I tried remembering what happened after the flying vibrator incident, but my memory got fuzzy after he buckled me in. I must have blacked out.This is why I always say Brielle plus me equals a recipe for disaster.I looked down at what I was wearing and realized I wasn't in my clothes. I was wearing one of Liam's shirts again. It's becoming

Chapter: 50. Shopping SpreeAYRAAfter what felt like forever, I stumbled my ass into a sex toy shop called Fantasy. I pulled my hoodie up to cover myself more as the evening air was chill."I can't believe you talked me into this," I muttered as Brielle confidently pushed the door open."Think of it as market research," Brielle said cheerfully. "We're conducting a scientific study on female empowerment. On how women take their freedom after being ignored by men."The shop was nothing like what I had imagined. It was quite elegant, and the products were displayed tastefully. We approached the attendant who was dressed in pink."Can I help you ladies find anything specific this evening?" she asked with a professional smile.Brielle nodded, still obviously slurring her words. "We're looking for something fun and educational for independent women who are tired of waiting for their partners to catch up to their needs."The sales rep smiled. "We have exactly what you need. Right this way."She walked forward as Briel

Chapter: 49. Girls' Night Out AYRA Brielle and I walked into exactly the kind of place she would choose for a girls' night out. It was intimate and dimly lit with plush burgundy seats. The place was upscale enough that I wouldn't be bothered by curious fans, but cozy enough that we could talk easily. Jazz played in the background while bartenders moved quickly and quietly. I slid into a curved booth across from her, grateful for the cozy vibe that hid my exhaustion from my first day of filming. I was dressed casually in a hoodie and loose pants. I checked my phone for messages from Liam but found nothing, and my mind flashed back to the blonde woman and Raven's comment about defining what we were. "You look like you need this," Brielle said, sliding a perfectly crafted martini across the table. "Rough day?" "Not really, filming was amazing," I said, taking a grateful sip of the alcohol, trying to drown everything else that was complicated. "Everything else is what's complicated." Brielle raised an eyebrow at m
