Get away from me Lucas." Bennett growled, his claws extending. But Lucas grabbed him and turned him around, his clothed bulge pressing into Bennett. "You know you want this, little wolf." And deep-down, as Lucas grinded into him, he realized. He did want this. ~~~ Bennett Cross was born to lead the Wolf Crest Pack, he is fierce, reckless, and loyal to the blood feud passed down through generations. The Storms have always been the enemy. It started with his great-grandfather, poisoned in a border war, and every Cross since then has carried that hatred like a second skin. Lucas Storm, son of the Eastern Howl Pack Alpha, is everything Bennett can't stand. He is striking, arrogant, and maddeningly perfect. They’ve fought tooth and claw since childhood, fueled by the war their fathers never ended. But when fate throws a cruel twist on Bennett’s eighteenth birthday, the enemy he loathes becomes the mate his wolf craves. Bennett doesn’t want him, and Lucas sure as hell doesn't need him. Yet fate doesn’t ask for their permission. Now, two heirs of rival packs are bound by a bond stronger than decades of hate or bloodlines.

Behind the walls of St. Valen’s Academy, privilege and legacy are masks — worn to hide the rot underneath. For Althea Sombra, the masks are literal. Her family’s empire is built on secrets whispered in the dark, on powers that can never be spoken of in daylight. She was raised to obey, to charm, to control. But when the storm inside her begins to wake, even obedience can’t contain it. Noah Laurent was bred for composure — heir to a dynasty that trades in precision and power. Yet one glance from Althea cracks the ice he was born to wear. He knows she’s dangerous. He also knows he can’t stay away. Luca Ashford has always been the wildfire Noah could control. Until Althea arrives. Until jealousy and desire blur into something neither of them can name — and their friendship begins to splinter beneath the weight of her silence. When a ghost from Althea’s training resurfaces — a man who once called her his greatest weapon — the careful balance at St. Valen’s shatters. Fear tightens its grip. Loyalties fracture. And the girl with the storm in her blood must decide: to remain a shadow … or burn the world that built her.

Nyxara Vale was never supposed to survive betrayal. She was supposed to choose it. When her mate, Cassian Ward, and her best friend, Brielle Shaw, plotted to ruin her, the world mourned the heiress’s death. But here’s the twist—Nyxara didn’t just fake her fall. She planned it, step by step, so she could awaken the ancient White Wolf power hidden in her blood. Now she’s back, and honestly, nobody stands a chance. She’s got the wolf’s raw strength, the cold edge of a vampire, and all the temptation of a succubus. But that’s just the start. Nyxara is human perfection, too—top hacker, racing prodigy, MMA and Krav Maga master, world-famous chef, scent genius, and the brains behind a wildly successful lingerie and adult toy empire. She’s rich, skilled, dangerous. The deadliest woman alive. But coming back from the dead leaves scars. Brielle’s still around—and pregnant, a living reminder of everything that went wrong. Cassian’s still tied to Nyxara by a bond she broke to finish her transformation. He’s always there, a shadow of love she had to give up. And then someone new walks in—a mate untouched by her past, not afraid to push back, not bothered by her power. Desire gets tangled up with danger, and suddenly Nyxara has to figure out what she really wants—and who she can trust. Secrets start bubbling up. Old alliances fall apart. Nyxara has to choose what kind of legacy she’ll leave behind. The White Wolf wasn’t built to rule through fear or fate. She was made to rule through sheer will—and the many faces Nyxara wears are her sharpest weapons. She’s done being the girl they tried to break. Now she’s the woman that survives.

War is coming, and this time it is more than personal. For generations, the Stormborn lineage has carried one story like a scar, the former Draconis destroyed their empire and left their bloodline in ruins. The Red Alpha grew up on that story. He was raised on it. Fed with it. Every lesson, every battle, every scar carved one belief into him, when the Draconis rises again, it must be put to death. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Because the new Draconis is Lyra. She doesn’t fully understand what she is yet. She only knows she’s being hunted. Villages are being wiped out. Borders are closing. The wolf clan are preparing for open war. The vampire council is divided, each elder with their own hidden agenda. And somewhere deep within the forbidden forests lies a power that could either protect her or expose her. The Red Alpha knows more than he admits. He knows what the last Draconis did. He knows secrets about Lyra’s blood that even she doesn’t know. And he is not just preparing for battle. He is preparing revenge. As the Blood Eclipse approaches, alliances will begin to crack, previous betrayals will surface again, and the truth about the former Draconis will threaten everything. Because this isn’t just history repeating itself. This is unfinished hatred. And when Lyra finally steps into the fire, the world will learn whether she is their salvation... Or the final mistake.
