"I slam into him and he screams. A hoarse, broken, beautiful noise bursts out of him as I drive in all at once, a harsh, staking claim. He’s gripping me so tight I can barely breathe. He’s fire. He’s home. He writhes, his hands clawing at the sheets. I force myself to be still, to wait and let him stretch, to let his body take me. I’m buried so deep I feel like I’m touching his soul." Kieran Arnulf is an Alpha with a target on his back. Inheriting a pack broken by his father’s cruelty, he's determined to rule with mercy rather than fear. But to the vipers on his council, mercy looks a lot like weakness. When a massive, tattooed warrior from the enemy Redmaw pack surrenders at his gates, Kieran makes a controversial choice. He allows the wolf to come inside. Alexei Basov is dangerous, insolent, and far too attractive for Kieran’s peace of mind. He claims to be a defector with vital intel on an impending war, but he looks at Kieran like a meal he’s dying to devour. He’s a brawler who solves problems with violence, a stark contrast to Kieran’s polished diplomacy. As assassins strike from the shadows and political tension reaches a breaking point, Kieran is forced to rely on the one man he shouldn’t trust. Alexei appoints himself Kieran’s shadow, protector, and personal tormentor. But the tension simmering between them is more than just political. Behind closed doors, the power dynamics shift. Kieran discovers that the only place he can truly let go of control is in the arms of the savage wolf who wants to claim him.

"Beg for it." Zane's voice was low, dangerous, as his fingers dug into Asher's jaw, forcing their eyes to meet. "Please...” Asher whispered, eyes wet with tears as his body betrayed him with a traitorous shiver. ````` HE WAS BORN TO INHERIT AN EMPIRE... UNTIL ONE SINGLE MISTAKE COST HIM EVERYTHING! Heir to an empire with a last name that opens every door, Asher West was powerful. An Alpha bred to be dominant, Asher takes what he wants and never looks back. But for all his arrogance, Asher had two weaknesses. His taste for danger…and his blistering, malignant, and seething HATRED for his half-brother, Zane West. And that hatred was the key to his downfall. Now stripped of his status, his pride, and his biology, Asher finds himself trapped in an Omega’s body, in a world that only worships the strength of an Alpha.

He wants to own Asher, furrow deep into his skull until his entire existence revolves around pleasing him, Zane West. But there’s a problem…Asher won’t go down without a fight, and Zane…at his core was still an Alpha whose primal instinct is to protect his Omega. Who will end up taming whom?

Twenty-six, brilliant, and achingly untouched, PhD student Cassie walks into the city’s most exclusive sex club because of a bet against her virginity. She chooses him blindly: a cruel Dom who drags her to the hidden chambers, spreads her trembling thighs, and takes her virginity with slow, savage thrusts while she screams. She never sees his face.

In the city ruled by vampires, Pure Omegas don't live long. They disappear. For twenty years, Kael has survived by becoming invisible. He hides beneath oversized hoodies, works the night shift at a blood clinic, and swallows illegal blocker pills to suppress the scent that could get him auctioned off to the highest bidder. Then one expired pill destroys everything. When his blockers fail inside a crowded subway station, the intoxicating scent of fresh lilies sends nearby vampires into a feeding frenzy. As bloodthirsty predators close in, Kael is certain his life is over. Instead... He is saved by the one monster everyone fears. Lucien Vale, the Blood Sovereign, is the strongest Alpha vampire in the Upper District. Cold. Untouchable. Merciless. Rather than hand Kael over to the High Council, Lucien offers him a single choice. Sign a protection contract... or die. Kael chooses survival. But the contract awakens an ancient blood oath neither of them meant to invoke, a forbidden bond that ties their blood, instincts, and fates together beyond law or choice. Now every vampire in the city is hunting the rare Omega hidden inside Lucien's penthouse. The High Council wants to dissect him. Rival Houses want to claim him. And the ruthless Sovereign who swore only to protect him is slowly losing control of the instincts that demand he scent, mark, and keep Kael forever. But Kael has spent his entire life fighting to stay free. He refuses to become anyone's possession... ...even if destiny insists he has belonged to Lucien for centuries.
