Bat Titans

Sarah is a dominating CEO who has a dark mysterious past. She was born in an unchartered island in Southeast Asia. Having experienced poverty at a very young age, she vowed to be the first female in their place to be successful in life. Lucky enough, a benefactor supported her financially so she can get into college and achieve her dreams. This is where she met Mark, the lone heir to a multi-million dollar company based in the Philippines. Their relationship went sour when Mark got depressed and broke up with her brought by jealousy since Sarah was able was able to graduate and he did not because of his carefree attitude. In spite of what transpired, Sarah continued pursuing her dreams. It is at this time that her past starts haunting her each time there is a blood moon. At nights like this, she transforms into a creature known as a manananggal, a half-woman with the wings of a bat who sucks blood out of her victims. Unfortunately, Mark’s mom and dad became one of them. Mark promised to kill Sarah and avenge the death of his parents. He even went to the extent of hiring a group called the ghost hunters to try and track her down. He also posted a price on the head of Sarah so the bounty hunters would go after her too. In one of their skirmishes, Sarah was captured. Mark devised a plan to save her and was successful. They both ran away into the mountains to escape their inevitable demise. But fate has its way of unfolding. Sarah bore a son out of her relationship with Mark. At first, they were not sure if their son inherited the curse of the manananggal. Their son inherited the curse of the blood thirst.

Forces were conspiring around Finn and Lili just as their relationship was blooming... Finn heard a few jeers and cheers, "Kick him out! Kick him out!" Before he could react, Lili stood up and pushed Billy's hand away and growled really loudly, "Get out of our house NOW! Get the 'f' out! All of you! This is between Finn and myself and the investigation team. Get out!" Her face was bright red and her little fists were clenched so tightly. She was ready to punch someone but she kept her composure. Billy yelled back, "You're gonna regret this, just you wait!" Turning to leave, Billy saw Finn standing in the doorway. He was as quiet as a church mouse and as still as a statue. He wasn't giving in to the anger festering inside. Billy walked by and threw the first punch and within seconds the crowd dragged Finn outside and started to beat the crap out of him. Lili was powerless but managed to have enough sense to call 911 immediately and then she grabbed a bat and started banging it on the porch. When the crowd heard the sirens, they all jumped in their cars and took off. Even Billy! Especially Billy! By the time she got to Finn, he was a bloody mess and was barely breathing.... How could everyone in the town turn on Finn? Hadn't he proven over the last three years that he turned his life around but one small accusation and Lili was standing outside of their home in the freezing cold, staring at the blood stained snow. An image that would haunt her for the rest of her life. Would Finn survive the beating and come back to her arms as the same man? Or would outside forces continue to push them apart?

“You’ve spent seven years running from my scent, Madeline, but you’re still wearing the bruises I gave you like jewelry. Did you really think I’d let you come home without putting you back on your knees?” The North Reach is a kingdom of ice, iron, and ancient blood, where the weak are exiled and the strong are hunted. Seven years ago, Madeline Cruz was the disgrace of the pack—a girl with a sharp tongue and a wooden bat who broke the arm of the Alpha-heir and was cast into the sun-bleached purgatory of Los Angeles. She returns not as the girl they broke, but as a woman forged in fire, hiding scars that run deeper than any claw mark and carrying a family heirloom that marks her for a destiny she never asked for. But the Reach hasn't forgotten her. Harrison Cole, the boy she once leveled in the dirt, is now a man of lethal ambition and predatory grace. He is the future Alpha, a king-in-waiting who views Madeline’s return as a challenge to his crown—and a feast for his wolf. He doesn't just want her gone; he wants her ruined. He wants to hear her scream his name in the dark and watch her defiance shatter under the weight of his command. As the Cruz family’s dark secrets begin to bleed through the polished floors of their estate, Madeline finds herself caught between a father who sold her out and a lifelong enemy who tastes like woodsmoke and danger. In a world where wolfsbane and silver are the only laws, Maddie must decide if she’s back to reclaim her throne... or to burn the entire pack to the ground.

“You are under arrest, Sienna Hopper for the murder of Jace Wright!” . . . “You said you were angry and went to his house with a bat, did you not? You trashed his apartment. Everything but him? And from the picture we received, his nose was broken. Now you said you didn’t touch him but you broke his nose. Do you mind explaining that to us?” My interrogator quirked a brow at me, the all-knowing look on his face and it said one word, culprit. Fuck that looked bad. It was bad. “I want a lawyer,” I instantly said. ***** Sienna is a rash and impulsive girl but beneath the tough girl act is a heartbroken and abused girl. When her mother gets ill with cancer, with a bill worth a lifetime. With the heat of everything, her ass-cheating ex calls her once again and there, and then she snaps, storms over to his house, destroys everything, and lands a punch squarely on his face. When she retires home, an old wound opens and she ends up at the bar, just to drink away her sorrow but then she ends up in bed with the city’s most powerful, cold-hearted lawyer, Greyson. Just a one-night stand, she tells herself. Nothing more. Until the next morning, when she’s arrested for her ex’s murder. And the only person willing to take her case? The same man she just slept with. She can’t afford his fees, but he has a proposition: marry him, have his child, and he’ll defend her in court. Two things Sienna has vowed in life never to be, a wife and a mother. But desperate time calls for desperate measures, isn’t that right, it’s just a marriage, and a child.

Nur weil ich unachtsam war und vergessen hatte, die Gefährtin meines Gefährten zurückzubringen, ließ ich sie drei Stunden allein in der Wildnis. In rasender Wut warf er mich in einen ausgetrockneten Brunnenschacht am Rande des Niemandslands. „Du solltest selbst einmal das Leid kosten, das Belinda ertragen musste.“ Der Schacht war so tief und eng, dass ich mich nur zusammengerollt in meiner Wolfsform hineinzwängen konnte. Ich bekam kaum Luft. Ich flehte ihn an, gestand meinen Fehler und bat um Hilfe – doch alles, was ich erhielt, war seine eiskalte Verurteilung. „Bereue deine Schuld. Nur wenn du aus dieser Strafe lernst, wirst du begreifen, was es heißt, eine wahre Luna zu sein.“ Er befahl, einen schweren Felsblock über dem Brunnenschacht zu platzieren. Ich brüllte verzweifelt, klammerte mich immer wieder an der Wand empor – nur um erneut in die Tiefe zu stürzen. Die Wände waren zerkratzt von meinen verzweifelten Krallenhieben. Bis meine trockene Kehle keinen Laut mehr hervorbringen konnte. Erst zwei Wochen später, als er das Geburtstagsgeschenk sah, das ich für ihn bestellt hatte, wurde sein Herz einen Moment lang weich. Er beschloss, meine Strafe zu beenden. Doch er wusste nicht, dass mein Körper am Grund des Brunnens längst von Insekten und Schlangen bis zur Unkenntlichkeit zerfressen worden war.

My twin sister and I marry twin brothers from a powerful mafia family. She marries the elder, Leo Smith, a federal judge. I marry the younger, Sam Smith, a surgeon. While I'm hospitalized for a high-risk pregnancy, I'm abducted by criminals demanding ransom. They use my phone to call Sam 32 times, but every one goes unanswered. Enraged, one of the abductors beats my stomach with a baseball bat to vent his anger. I try desperately to protect my unborn child, but I lose the baby anyway. Finally, the abductor calls Sam one last time. This time, he answers, only to snap, "Annie almost miscarried. I was just taking her for a checkup. Can you stop calling and trying to get my attention?" With no ransom coming, the furious abductors tie me up and throw me into a swimming pool. Then, they leave. Just as I'm about to take my last breath, my sister arrives and pulls me out. Seeing me almost dead from the miscarriage, she calls Leo in a panic. But all she gets is a cold answer. "Currently punishing the man who nearly caused Annie Morgan's miscarriage. Do not disturb." She tries to call the police, but her phone dies. With no other option, she drives me away herself. On the way back, a sudden blizzard hits, and a landslide blocks the road. The car breaks down. We're trapped and shivering in the cold. Thankfully, a forest patrol finds us just in time. We survive. When we wake up in the hospital, the first thing that comes to us is that we have to get divorced!

Aidan Blackwell, 35 ans, est l'homme que rien n'atteint. Milliardaire ténébreux, craint et admiré, il a bâti un empire sur le sang-froid et l'indifférence. Hanté par une tragédie passée, il a juré de ne jamais laisser l'amour l'atteindre, collectionnant les femmes comme des trophées, avec une seule règle d'or : ne jamais tomber amoureux. Éléa Morel, 23 ans, est l'exact opposé. Brillante, d'une beauté rare mais discrète, elle se bat chaque jour pour sa famille modeste, naviguant dans le monde impitoyable de l'Hôtel Impérial avec une dignité farouche. Elle ne recherche qu'un emploi stable, un moyen d'aider les siens. Leur monde n'aurait jamais dû se croiser. Pourtant, un simple échange de regards, une altercation fortuite au comptoir de la réception, va bouleverser la forteresse qu'Aidan a érigée autour de son cœur. Intrigué par cette jeune femme inattendue, il la convoque, lui offrant une proposition qui pourrait changer sa vie... et la sienne. Mais entre l'attraction brûlante et les sombres secrets du passé d'Aidan, entre la jalousie insidieuse des proches et les mensonges qui menacent de tout détruire, leur lien grandissant est une étincelle dans un baril de poudre. Quand l'interdit s'impose, la passion peut-elle triompher... ou les consumer à jamais ?

Vincenzo Moretti was Stonehaven’s youngest financial titan— a tech mogul commanding a multibillion-dollar empire, gracing the covers of business magazines as a modern legend. But only a select few knew the truth: he was also the ruthless Don controlling the East Coast mafia. To him, wealth and power were mere chips in a game. And I? I was just another pawn used to stabilize a fragile family alliance. In our ten-year marriage, he slept with my friends, my coworkers… every single person I once trusted. Then one morning, as I took our one-month-old baby for a routine checkup, Sienna Newton, his latest mistress, ran me down with her car. The baby screamed endlessly. I begged her to take us to the hospital, and when Vincenzo arrived, he looked at me with cold disdain. “Isabella,” he sneered, “when did you learn to stage accidents? “Even if you died here, I wouldn’t bat an eye.” Then he took Sienna’s hand and walked away without a backward glance. By the time I was rushed to the hospital, the child in my arms had suffocated. Upon hearing the news, my mother suffered a heart attack. She didn’t survive. I slipped into a coma for two days. When I finally woke up, I found out that Vincenzo never visited. Instead, his father, Renato Moretti, the true king of the Moretti empire, stood by my bedside. I looked at him calmly and said, “Let me go. Whatever I owed your family, I’ve repaid in full with two lives.” Later, that same Don who had once looked down on me knelt before me, begging me to come home. But I was no longer the woman who waited, silent and broken, for his change of heart. I was the Don’s wife who turned away and never looked back.

Im dritten Jahr meiner Ehe mit Viktor Grau schickte mir seine Stiefschwester Nina plötzlich ein Video. Ich öffnete es und sah Viktor. Mit der Krawatte, die ich ihm gerade geschenkt hatte, fesselte er seine Stiefschwester am Bettpfosten fest. Sie lag nackt unter ihm und stöhnte immer wieder „Schatz“. Danach lagen sie eng umschlungen. Nina schmiegte sich an seinen Hals und säuselte: „Viktor, der Ring, den du mir geschenkt hast, gefällt mir nicht. Gib ihn doch deiner Frau – als Geburtstagsgeschenk von deiner kleinen Schwester.“ Am nächsten Tag saß ich in einem gehobenen Restaurant und starrte geistesabwesend auf den leeren Stuhl mir gegenüber. Plötzlich kam sein Vertrauter mit einer riesigen Torte auf mich zu. „Don hatte etwas Dringendes zu erledigen und bat mich, Ihnen Ihr Geburtstagsgeschenk zu überbringen.“ In der Schatulle lag genau der Ring, den seine Stiefschwester nicht gewollt hatte. Im selben Moment erreichte mich ein neues Foto auf dem Handy: Viktor war mit seiner Stiefschwester im Krankenhaus. Ich weinte nicht, machte keine Szene und unterschrieb ruhig die Scheidungspapiere – dann ließ ich eine Hochzeit vorbereiten. „Gnädige Frau, wessen Namen sollen für Braut und Bräutigam eingetragen werden?“ „Viktor Grau und Nina Grau.“ In sieben Tagen würde die ganze Welt erfahren, was der stets so unnahbare Don hinter verschlossenen Türen mit seiner Stiefschwester so alles trieb.

Il y a dix ans, Camila Marisol a ri pendant que la foule a déchiré le seul garçon qui l'ait jamais aimée. Maintenant, il possède le monde dont elle voulait faire partie. Valerio D'Amato est devenue tout ce qu'elle pensait vouloir : impitoyable, puissante et intouchable. Quand ils se rencontrent à nouveau, ce n'est pas le destin. C'est un piège. Il ne veut pas être pardonné. Il veut qu'elle se souvienne. Mais l'empire de Valerio n'est pas aussi brillant qu'il n'y paraît. Son amant, Isabella Romano, est une princesse de la mafia qui a construit sa vie sur la loyauté et le pouvoir. Et son cousin Luca, le plus vieil ennemi de Valerio, attend une chance d'attaquer. Ils transforment la vengeance en un sport de sang, ruinant l'héritage de la famille de Camila, qui était une simple cafétéria que son père a construite pour nourrir les pauvres. La perte fait plus mal que n'importe quelle honte. Ce n'est plus seulement la vengeance de Valerio ; c'est la guerre. Le pouvoir, la fierté et le vieil amour se réunissent, et Camila doit choisir ce pour quoi elle se bat : l'homme qui peut la ruiner, la vérité qui peut la sauver, ou les cendres de la fille qu'elle était. Certaines dettes sont payées avec du sang. D'autres, dans le pardon. Certaines malédictions ne s'en vont jamais ; elles sont simplement réécrites.
