I was born to shine. But the fate had others plans for me. The moment my feet left the edge, the world fell silent. There was only wind. And peace. For one fragile heartbeat, I was free. Like a bird. Then something slammed into me from behind. Arms. Hard. Unforgiving. The impact hurled me sideways instead of down. Wood splintered. Something inside me cracked. Darkness rushed in and I welcomed it. … “Open. Your. Eyes.” The voice was quiet, slow, deliberate. It forced its way through bone and blood. An Alpha command. Pain detonated through me as air tore back into my lungs. My body convulsed against my will. I tried to sink back into the quiet—to finish what I had started. “You were NEVER given permission to die.” Power wrapped around the words like chains. My eyes snapped open. We were beyond the pack’s borders. The air felt colder. Wilder. Untouched by law or duty. For one second, I had belonged to nothing. And he had dragged me back. He loomed above me, fury carved into every sharp angle of his face. His breathing was controlled, his posture dominant - absolute. If anyone were watching from the cliffs, they would see an Alpha asserting ownership. His jaw tightened, irritated at being forced to deal with something that should have already been resolved. I had complicated his plans. “Drink.” His wrist pressed my mouth. The metallic scent hit first. I tried to clamp my lips shut. But Alpha commands do not ask. They take. My mouth opened against my will and his blood burned down my throat, spreading heat through my chest. A cruel gift. He would not even grant me the mercy of dying on my own terms. And I understood - even my death did not belong to me.

Legends of werewolves have gone back centuries. Always including the Moon Goddess and her blessing of soulmates to the beings she created. But the ugly truth is there is no such thing as soulmates. There is only The Run. An event created centuries ago held twice a year during a blue moon where she-wolves run from their male counter parts. If they are captured, they are raped and marked, claimed by whoever captures them first. No one is exempted from this event - not even Grace Harvest. After being able to avoid attending the event since turning eighteen, Grace finds herself unable to find an excuse not to participate this time. With her last hope of remaining unmated until she can fall in love, she makes a bet with her Alpha. If she wins, he can no longer force wolves of his pack to participate in The Run and allow them to find love. If he wins, Grace will be mated, and her pack mates forced to go to The Run no matter what. But what happens when she meets a golden haired wolf by the name Caden Wolfrain, who instantly captures her attention. Will she do all she can to win the bet, will Caden win her heart or will the secrets Caden keeps force her to cut ties with this golden haired wolf without a second thought no matter the heart break.

In a world where bloodlines define worth and females are banned from racing, seventeen-year-old Elionna “Leo” Reyes lives a double life. By day, she’s the daughter of a disgraced beta.

But when the Trials return, Leo enters the elite competition to challenge more than the track. She wants justice, revenge… and freedom. Then she meets Ash Carver, the alpha heir, her fiercest rival, and the boy she unknowingly saved years ago. He’s next in line to become the Council’s weapon. But as buried truths and ancient bloodlines come to light, Leo and Ash find themselves at the center of a rebellion that could either shatter the system, or spark a revolution that rewrites everything.

"I’m not a trophy to be kept on a shelf until you’re ready to polish the gold, Kael." Acacik Stormborn is done playing the part of the perfect heir. Sold into a mating contract with the legendary Kael Nightfang—a man he hasn't seen in years—Acacik does the unthinkable: he runs. Trading the suffocating politics of the Silverfang District for the raw, biting winds of the Harrowgate Territory, he seeks freedom on the ice. But the wilderness holds secrets more dangerous than the contract he fled. When he crosses paths with Kael Shadowfang, a rugged biker with a lethal smirk and a scent that makes his inner wolf howl in submission, the heat is instantaneous. Between high-speed chases through Northfang Ridge and stolen moments in the shadows of Valeheart Manor, Acacik finds himself caught in a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse. In this modern MM werewolf romance, the ice is thin, the tension is scorching, and the only thing more dangerous than a broken contract is a fated bond that refuses to be ignored.

“Why do you love talking so much?” I demanded with a scowl. “Because I want you to clearly remember that you’re about to get nasty with a man.” He answered as he grazed his lips lightly against my jaw, a feathery motion which made me shiver slightly in response. I opened my mouth to say something in reply but he jerked my mouth against his fast, stopping whatever I was about to say with a kiss. ****** After unknowingly getting dragged into a dangerous mess and being on the run with a man who has a death penalty threat hanging over his head, two things out of five were very clear to Mark. One, his straight ass wasn’t as straight as he used to think. Two, he was ridiculously falling for the ‘number-one’ most wanted person in more than five countries. Recklessly, unhinged. The fact that he had a girlfriend back at home was the last thing on his mind. It was a very reckless and emotion filled adventure for both men, where one had to prove his innocence to the world or forever be on the run until whenever he got caught. While the other one has to throw caution to the wind for the first time, grow past his fears and beliefs and go for what his heart wants, despite how wrong it feels.
