The Alpha king's captive
Valerie Sterling has lived by a single rule since her childhood pack was slaughtered: never shift, never imprint, and never stay in one territory for more than a single moon cycle. Working as a rogue apothecary on the fringes of the supernatural underworld, she uses her rare knowledge of silver infused herbs to mask her scent from predators. But when a lethal, mysterious plague begins sweeping through the northern packs, Valerie is captured by elite scouts and dragged directly to the fortress of the most terrifying wolf alive Alpha Silas Vance of the Ironclaw Pack.
Silas is a desperate ruler. His warriors are dying, his rivals are circling, and his own wolf is growing increasingly unstable without a fated mate to anchor him. When Valerie is brought before him in chains, Silas doesn’t just smell an untamed rogue; he recognizes the sudden, explosive spark of a fated match. But Valerie represents everything his traditionalist pack fears, and her blood carries secrets that could bring down his entire empire.
To save his people from the plague and protect Valerie from the bloodthirsty Alpha Council, Silas forces her into a dangerous arrangement: act as his dedicated pack healer and pretend to be his submissive, betrothed mate. Trapped in a den of monsters, Valerie must play a deadly game of corporate and political survival, navigating vicious pack politics and her own treacherous, growing desire for the beast who holds her captive. As the real mastermind behind the plague steps into the light, Valerie and Silas must decide if they will destroy each other or let their forbidden bond burn the old world to ashes.

Chapter: The Oath of New GenesisThe sky above New Genesis burned with red lightning and thick black smoke. High above the white stone rooftops, thousands of red attack pods rained down from the floating corporate warship, slamming into the outer walls and stone streets with deafening thuds. Iron doors hissed open, and hundreds of mechanical corporate soldiers poured into the valley, their red eye visors glowing in the dark, heavy plasma rifles raised and ready to kill.Panic surged through the central plaza. Mothers pulled their children close, screaming in fear, while old men stumbled back toward the safety of their homes.On the high palace balcony, Silas stood in his massive twelve-foot Silver Wolf form, his silver fur bristling against the harsh black wind blowing from the rift. His gray eyes burned like twin suns. Beside him, Valerie stood with her hands held high, her Silvercrest light radiating outward like a protective shield, slowing down the plasma blasts that crashed against the palace gates.

Chapter: The Shattered HorizonThree months had passed since the day the Celestial Dome healed New Genesis. The empire had entered a time of perfect, unbroken peace. Disease was gone, the farm fields produced twice as much food as before, and the city’s defense guards spent their days training peacefully under the clear blue sky. Prince Alec, now ten, was studying how to be a strong leader under Tomas and Jamil, while five year old Princess Rin filled the palace gardens with laughter, her tiny crescent moon birthmarks glowing happily whenever she played. It was a quiet, warm evening. The setting sun painted the sky in beautiful shades of orange, pink, and purple. Silas and Valerie stood on the grand upper balcony of the royal palace, holding hands as they watched their children play on the green grass below. Silas wore a dark blue tunic that fit his broad shoulders, his storm gray eyes clear and peaceful. Valerie leaned comfortably against his side, her hand resting over his heart, enjoying the calm warm breeze.

The air was cool, clean, and fresh, filled with the sweet smell of morning rain and soft green grass. The entire valley was quiet and peaceful, but inside the central chamber of the royal palace, a deep, excited energy filled the room.The central chamber was a huge round room made of dark, polished stone that sparkled like the night sky. In the exact middle of the floor sat a large, round platform made of solid silver. Connected to this platform were thick energy cables running along the floor and up into the stone roof. These cables traveled straight into the four massive, tall energy towers built at the four corners of the city walls. Surrounding the platform were complex machines and tall glass tubes filled with glowing blue and silver liquid.Silas and Valerie stood together on top of the round silver platform. Silas wore a simple dark lea

The morning air was cool, clean, and fresh, filled with the sweet smell of early rain and green grass.On the stone field, Silas stood ready for battle. He wore a simple leather vest and soft brown pants. His storm gray eyes were bright and sharp. Surrounding him in a wide circle were Tomas, Jamil, and twenty of the strongest guards in the whole kingdom. Every single guard held a heavy steel sword and a thick shield."Do not hold back," Silas said with a calm, quiet smile. "Attack me all at the same time."Tomas looked at Jamil, then laughed out loud. "You asked for it, Alpha!"With a loud battle cry that echoed off the stone walls, all twenty guards charged forward at the exact same moment. Their heavy steel swords flashed bright in the sunlight as they rushed toward their King.Silas did not even pull out a weapon. He simply closed his eyes and focused his mind.Glow.In

Chapter: The Royal ReturnThe news moved faster than the wind down the green valley. By the time Silas reached the outer roads of the city, thousands of people had already gathered along the high granite walls and white stone streets. They had heard the thunderous roar that shook the mountains. They had felt the ground vibrate beneath their feet. But nothing prepared them for the magnificent, breathtaking sight walking through the main gates.Silas trotted into the city center in his massive, god-like wolf form.

Breaking the ice
Adrian Hayes has everything most people dream fame, wealth, championships, and millions of fans. But one carefully planned scandal threatens to destroy it all overnight. After being framed in a false intimacy scandal before the league playoffs, Adrian's sponsors withdraw, his reputation crumbles, and the team gives him only one week to restore public trust.
Desperate, his PR team proposes an unusual solution: create the image of a loyal, wholesome friendship with someone outside the hockey world. During the search, Adrian unexpectedly reunites with Ethan Brooks, a struggling photographer he knew during university.
Ethan is fighting a different battle. His mother's mounting hospital bills have pushed him to the edge of bankruptcy, forcing him to reject his dream photography projects. Although uncomfortable with becoming part of a publicity campaign, Ethan finally accepts Adrian's generous six-month contract to save his mother's life.
As they appear together at games, charity events, interviews, and photo shoots, the public becomes fascinated by their effortless chemistry. Their fake friendship slowly develops into genuine trust, then affection, and eventually love.
However, fame comes at a price. Their contract is leaked, jealous rivals manipulate the media, and both men are forced to choose between protecting their careers or following their hearts. Through injuries, betrayals, family struggles, and public judgment, Adrian and Ethan discover that the greatest victory is not winning championships but finding someone willing to stand beside them long after the cameras stop rolling.

Chapter: The Memory Beneath the LightsThe cold air of the empty arena hit Adrian’s face like a splash of ice water, but inside his chest, a fierce fire was burning.He didn't check his phone. He didn't look back at the sleek black SUV he had parked near the loading dock, nor did he care about the small group of paparazzi standing near the security gates outside. Their flashing cameras felt distant, harmless, and completely meaningless now.He pushed open the heavy double doors leading to the rink.The ice lay before him like a quiet, frozen mirror, glowing softly under the dim blue evening lights. The stadium was vast, empty, and silent, saved only for the gentle hum of the cooling pipes running beneath the floorboards.Standing right at the edge of the glass, leaning his arms against the red wooden barrier, was Ethan.He wore his dark woolen coat, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. He wasn't holding his camera today. He was simply staring out at the clean, white ice—the very place where they had spent their first aw

Chapter: The Breaking PointNeither of them talked about the near kiss on the ice. The next morning, they acted as if it had never happened, but the air between them changed completely. Every look lasted a second too long. Every accidental brush of their shoulders in the hallway felt like an electric shock that was impossible to ignore.Ethan focused entirely on his camera. He spent hours editing photos in the media lounge, trying to keep his mind busy. But every time he looked through the lens and focused on Adrian, his lips remembered the warm breath from the night before.Adrian was just as distracted. On the ice, his movements were sharp, but during the breaks, his eyes always searched the stands for Ethan.

Chapter: The of HopeThe digital world did not sleep, but for once, it was not mean. By morning, the picture from the dark hallway of the stadium was everywhere. It was on every sports news site and social media page. The picture was simple: the star captain, still in his hockey gear, pressing the winning puck into his photographer’s hand. But the feelings in the photo were huge. Adrian’s big hand stayed over Ethan’s wrist. Adrian looked at Ethan with deep care, and Ethan looked back with soft surprise. It was a real photo. It looked like the truth. "Look at these numbers," Sophia Carter said. Her voice was not as sharp as usual. She pushed a tablet across the glass table of the hotel lounge. Adrian did not look at the screen. He was staring out the window at the gray Boston sky. He held a cup of hot black coffee. "I don't care about the numbers, Sophia." "You should, because they are saving your career," Sophia said with a real smile. "Victor cannot control the story anymore. When you gave that spee
