Tamed by the Devil Stepbrother Nolan Carter is everything Clara Bennett despises—cocky, cruel, and sinfully irresistible. On campus, he’s the untouchable golden boy: captain of the team, the star every professor favors, and the devil every girl wants in her bed. And Nolan gives them exactly what they crave. One night. No promises. No emotions. Just filthy satisfaction. His harem of willing admirers proves he doesn’t need to lift a finger—women fall at his feet. But behind that perfect smile hides venom. Nolan has no love for his new “family.” He hates Clara’s mother for marrying his father, and he hates Clara even more—for invading his world, stealing space in his home, and daring to defy him. Clara isn’t like the girls who line up outside his door. She’s sharp-tongued, stubborn, and immune to his charms—or at least she pretends to be. Nolan delights in breaking her down, tormenting her with cutting remarks, cruel games, and dark whispers meant to ruin her reputation. Everywhere Clara goes, Nolan lurks—reminding her she doesn’t belong, reminding her he’s in control. But the more he pushes, the more the lines blur. Hatred burns hot, and desire burns hotter. Clara swears she’ll never fall for him, never be just another notch in his bedpost. Nolan swears he’ll never want her, never crave the one girl who dares to fight back. Yet temptation is a dangerous game. Because when the devil stepbrother sets his sights on you… you either burn, or you break. And Clara is about to discover what happens when hate becomes hunger—when the boy who torments her decides she’s the only sin he can’t resist.

Kellan Reed - I was born Runebound—measured, studied, trained to lead. My pack believes order is strength, that tradition is law. But law doesn’t hold when blood runs in the dirt. The Interregnum is here, and every whispered betrayal at Obscura smells of war. I thought I knew who I was supposed to be: heir, alpha, scholar. Then Ronan Draxmere walked onto campus, all sharp teeth and wild fury. Bloodpine. My opposite. My enemy. And yet, every time our eyes lock, I feel the pull of something I can’t name.

And if the Interregnum comes for this place, they’ll find out just how dangerous a Bloodpine wolf can be when he’s fighting for something he swore he’d never want.

Controlling who talks to me. Calling me like he already owns me. The worst part? The fake relationship doesn’t feel fake anymore. Because behind his cruel smirk and bloodstained knuckles is a broken boy hiding dangerous secrets… secrets that somehow pull me closer instead of pushing me away. But Kane has enemies.

"Answer me, Aveline. Is it me or him?" Luca demanded harshly. His glassy green eyes shimmered with unshed tears that threatened to fall any moment from now.

Everyone at BHC thinks I only hang out with Eugene Grant so he’ll write my essays. Eugene thinks I’m just his troubled, rich best friend hiding from an empty mansion. Neither knows the real reason I’m always sleeping over. It’s his father: Officer Marcus Grant. Cold, muscular, and dangerously strict, Marcus is the only cop in the city my family’s money can’t buy. He thinks I’m a reckless bad influence on his son. He’s fucking right. I start fights just so he’ll arrest me. I walk around his house shirtless at 2 AM just to watch his expression. Ever since one drunken night blurred the lines between us, I’ve done everything possible to make the stern officer lose control again. "Put a damn shirt on and get back to the guest room," Marcus whispered the order in the dark kitchen. Instead, I stepped closer until my bare, tattooed chest brushed his silver badge. "Why?" I murmured with a lazy grin. "Does it bother you, Officer Grant? Or are you still thinking about that night you called a mistake?" Before I could blink, Marcus grabbed my hair and slammed my back against the wall, clamping a heavy hand over my mouth. "Make a single sound and wake my son up, and you'll regret it," he breathed against my ear. "You came down here looking for trouble, Jaxon. Don't complain now that you found it." Playing with fire under my best friend’s roof is dangerous enough. But now Eugene is looking at me as more than a friend, and his father’s grip on my wrists is only getting tighter. Officer Grant wants to teach me a lesson. Little does he know, I’ve been begging to get cuffed from the start.

Evelina Dray: I have spent years cataloging what Obscura wanted forgotten. Erased names. Broken prophecies. Bloodlines rewritten by fear. Knowledge is supposed to be neutral, but I’ve learned that every truth has a cost, and someone always bleeds for it. Draven Kael is not a secret I was meant to find. He is a weapon the world buried and prayed would stay buried. He should terrify me. He does. But fear has never stopped me from opening a door. The Interregnum believes I will choose safety. Obscura believes I will choose loyalty. They are wrong. I will choose the truth, even if it burns everything I am standing on. Draven Kael: They call me a monster because it’s easier than admitting they built me this way. I was forged to kill dragons, to end bloodlines, to erase problems before they learned how to scream. The Interregnum didn’t give me purpose. It gave me permission. Evelina Dray is not supposed to see me. She looks anyway. She doesn’t flinch when she learns what I am, what I’ve done, what I was designed to destroy. That makes her dangerous. That makes her mine. This war is not ending. Not here. Not now. And when the world finally tears itself open, it won’t be heroes who decide what survives. It will be the weapons that were never meant to love anything at all.

By day, Elian is a timid, shy stepson of a wealthy family—someone who doesn’t even have the courage to steal a glance at his crush. By night, behind a silver mask, he is a top cam star, showered with lavish gifts by tens of thousands of fans online. On the night of his final stream, just as Elian smiles and bids his fans farewell, a chilling comment flashes across his screen: “Check your closet. Your gift is waiting.” Trembling, Elian pushes open the closet door, only to find no surprise—just his ruthless stepbrother, Jasper, clutching his underwear with the cruelty of a predator in his eyes. Holding Elian’s most fatal secret in his hands, Jasper pushes torment to the absolute limit. Enduring one suffocating night after another, Elian holds back his tears through the agony, pretending the monster above him is his only glimmer of affection: his crush, Lucius. On campus, Lucius hands Elian a hair tie, his voice deep and warm: “I keep it with me because my clumsy crush always forgets theirs.” Elian thinks he has finally found his salvation. But he never expects that this very token of affection will be ripped away by his stepbrother—turned into a cruel prop to bind and humiliate him live on camera! Yet, what plunges Elian into even deeper desperation is when the untouchable prince, Lucius, strips away his disguise. With crimson eyes, sharp fangs, and his breath cold against Elian’s neck, he whispers: “Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Lucius Valerius—the next Vampire King, and your true Master.” However, Jasper and Lucius are not the only ones harboring secret longings for Elian. Try as he might to deny it, Elian gradually realizes that his stepfather Caleb has long coveted him, never content with merely a fleeting taste. An abusive stepbrother, a hypocritical stepfather, and a possessive Vampire King... Trapped in a web of obsession, control, and dark desire—how will he survive when everyone around him turns into a monster desperate to lock him away?

Tyler never wanted an Alpha, especially not someone like Landon Hayes. At Ridgecrest Academy, Landon is at the top of the food chain—dominant, arrogant, and used to getting everything he wants. But Tyler isn’t like the other Omegas who fall at his feet. Defiant and independent, he’s determined to finish his year and leave without ever being claimed. Landon has other plans. The moment Tyler caught Landon’s eye, it was game over. Tyler’s quiet defiance and refusal to submit ignite something in Landon he can’t ignore. For the first time, Landon is chasing someone who doesn’t want to be caught. At Ridgecrest, the rules are simple: the strongest Alpha gets what he wants. And Landon Hayes wants Tyler. *** “You—” he starts to say, but his voice catches. I see his pupils dilate, his lips parting as he tries to push back against what’s happening. I let the red flash in my eyes, just for a second, enough to show him who’s in control here. It’s not about scaring him—it’s about reminding him of the natural order of things. The way this has always been meant to go. “Submit,” I growl. He whines. It’s quiet, barely audible, but I hear it. His body betrays him for just a second, his knees wobbling as his head lowers, shoulders hunching in instinctual submission. His eyes flick away, and I can see it—the brief moment where his will cracks. And god, it’s intoxicating. That split second of submission is all I need to know that he’s mine. He might fight it, but his body knows. His scent tells me everything I need to know. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks completely, before he’s begging for it.
