Is Draven Grey A Villain Or Hero In Arcane?

Avani is the last earth dragon in the world. Not only that, but he is also the last male dragon. The other three remaining elemental dragons, air, water and fire, are all females. Unless he mates with one of the other three dragons, the race of pure dragons will die out. Since he snubs the idea of finding a mate, refusing to allow anyone to claim him and therefore control him, he has taken over as protector of the forest. The hunters are always searching for supernaturals to force into their Arenas, a modern-day gladiator fighting ring. And now, they are capturing supernaturals to experiment on, creating a new race of hybrid creatures. Because Avani can shift his emerald-green scales into the black of onyx, those he saves have started to call him The Dark Protector. Merethyl is an elven princess. She and her brother, Yhendorn, are captured by hunters when her family is attacked, her parents slaughtered in front of her. She and Yhendorn are held captive, experimented on, until one day they find a way to escape. As they flee, Yhendorn is re-captured sacrificing himself to make sure Merethyl gets away. As she runs, the hunters chase her, trying to run her down. Avani hears her and flies to her rescue, killing the hunters that are after her. When he realizes that she smells better than anyone he’s ever smelled before, he knows he must get away from her. He cannot allow her to have the total control over him that claiming him would give her. But Merethyl has nowhere else to go and she needs Avani’s help to rescue her brother. Will Avani be able to resist the charms of the elven princess, or will he fall to her, claimed, making her his dragonrider?

After being rejected by her fated mate and betrayed by her best friend, Nyra Storm runs away from The Crescent Moon pack, vowing never to return. She was left heartbroken with a secret in her belly that could change her life forever. Soon, she builds a new life far from the world of wolves. Years later, fate pulls her back to the very pack she swore to never return to—this time with a son who carries a powerful legacy and a heart that has learned to survive betrayal. Draven Black, the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, regrets the day he let Nyra slip through his fingers. When an ancient threat resurfaces, endangering his pack and the future he fought to protect, he’s forced to face the one woman who holds the key to their salvation. Nyra. But Nyra is no longer the meek, heartbroken wolf he rejected—she’s stronger, wiser, and has learned to love herself without him. Will Draven win her back before time runs out, or will the dangers and threats tear them apart forever?

"Gentle isn't my thing...but tonight, I can make an exception." He whispered in my ears, wrapping my legs around his waist.----Mia is the oddball that nobody likes in the Dark Fang Pack. Her mom, a prostitute, ran off right after having her, leaving Mia to grow up hated by her Alpha father and Luna Helena. To make it worse, she never got a wolf. When she turned 19, Luna Helena told her she'd be sent to the border to become a military prostitute. Just when things seemed hopeless, the King of the North, Alpha Draven, showed up with an offer – become his exclusive plaything and no one would ever bully her again. But she must never fall in love with him. Mia signed the unfair contract and followed Draven to his kingdom. There, she'd become his most cherished woman and get tangled in even more danger and chaos. She'd uncover the truth about her mother, finding out the hidden power that she possessed. In the end, will she get to be with the noble king? Or is her destined mate actually someone else?

Everyone in the Darkthorne Pack knows one thing about me. I'm human. The unwanted girl with no wolf, no rank, and no place among werewolves. For eighteen years, I've been counting down the days until I can escape the pack that never wanted me. The only person who's ever stood by my side is my best friend, Brock, an omega destined to disappoint his powerful Alpha family. Then everything changes. Brock finally shifts... and becomes someone I barely recognize. Cold. Distant. Cruel. As my eighteenth birthday approaches, strange things begin happening. My senses sharpen. My body burns with impossible power. The same elite wolves who once ignored me suddenly can't stay away. The pack's strongest males are drawn to me, fighting instincts they don't understand. Including Brock. But when my wolf finally awakens, it reveals a truth no one saw coming. I was never human. I belong to an ancient bloodline thought to be lost, one powerful enough to shake the werewolf world to its foundations. Now four powerful mates are bound to me, enemies are hunting me, and the pack that treated me like an outcast suddenly wants me at the center of everything. Too bad I've spent eighteen years learning how to survive without them. They may want to claim me. But they'll have to earn me first.

At Draven Wolf Academy, Elara Moonfall has spent two humiliating months as the only eighteen-year-old who never shifted. Mocked as the wolfless disgrace of a legendary bloodline, she's learned to survive by keeping her head down. But when a blood moon awakens the ancient wolf sleeping inside her, everything changes. Overnight, the girl everyone pitied becomes the one every Alpha wants and the one an old curse has been waiting centuries to claim. Far beyond the academy, Alpha Ravin Blackthorn has lived his entire life bound by a single impossible command: when his fated mate shifts, he must kill her or lose his wolf forever. But another Alpha has already set his sights on Elara. Cold, patient, and dangerously calculating, Alpha Kol knows that if Elara is Ravin's greatest weakness, then she is the fastest way to bring the feared Darkhowl Alpha to his knees. Bound by fate, hunted by an enemy, and haunted by a curse centuries in the making, Ravin is about to discover that some battles demand far more than strength.

He swore to protect her. Instead, he left her to rot in prison. Hazel was Adrian’s mate, his Luna-to-be, and the rightful heir to her family's legacy. But when her stepsister Thalia staged the perfect betrayal, it was Hazel who paid the price—stripped of her title, beaten behind bars, and left to miscarry alone. The day she’s released, she's nearly killed by rogues. Next, she learns Adrian is throwing a party to celebrate… Thalia. Betrayed. Broken. Forgotten. Hazel wants revenge. And fate delivers it in the form of Alpha Draven—Adrian’s cursed uncle. Feared, exiled, and powerful. He offers her everything she’s lost—status, protection, vengeance—under one condition: she marries him. A contract marriage to ignite war within the pack. To destroy those who destroyed her. To awaken powers buried in her blood. But somewhere between vengeance and survival, something dangerous sparks. Love wasn’t part of the deal. Neither was becoming the key to breaking Draven’s deadly curse. Now, Hazel must choose: Burn them all to the ground—or risk everything for a future she never thought she deserved.
