Burning Candles

For three long years, my husband Richard has refused to touch me. All because of one tragic accident that stole our three-month-old baby… an accident that wasn’t even my fault. I tried everything to win him back. I begged, I cried, I seduced. Nothing worked. Desperate and burning with unmet desire, I found myself drawn to my new boss, Teddy. With one smoldering look, he awakens the fire I thought had died inside me. I crave him. I need him. But I’m still married… and I still love Richard with all my heart. Then came the business trip that shattered everything. In a single night, I discovered Richard’s secret—he’s been cheating on me all along. Rage and years of pent-up hunger collided. That night, I finally unleashed. But after the trip what becomes of me, my husband and my boss, even his lover.

“I’m rejecting the bond, Ethan. Go mark the girl you actually want.” After five years of waiting, Aria Stone realized she was never the Alpha’s first choice. Standing at the Moon Council Hall, she shreds her mating contract and walks away from the Draven line, trading her heart for the cold precision of pack law and the intensity of the hockey rink. She thought she was free from the Draven shadow—until she’s trapped in a darkened vehicle with the one man even her ex-fiancé fears. Alpha Peter Draven. The ruthless ruler of the northern wastes and a titan on the ice. He’s a silver-eyed predator who doesn't play by the pack’s rules, and he’s been watching Aria from the sidelines for years. Now that she’s unclaimed, the hunt is on. In a world of fated mates, burning tension, and high-stakes betrayal, Aria must decide if she’s ready to submit to a real Alpha—one who won't just mark her, but claim her soul.

He’s the Alpha King — ruthless, dangerous, and deadly. She’s the last of a cursed bloodline — destined to destroy the paranormal world. Once every century, the Shadow Bride is reborn, destined to kill her fated mate and bring ruin to the supernatural realm. The only way to stop her is by killing her before the curse develops. King Kaelion captures her, determined to stop the curse, but when her scent reaches him, his wolf whispers one word: Mate; everything takes another shift. She hides her identity as the Shadow bride, and he can't resist falling for her. Every brush of skin, every stolen touch, ignites a fire they can’t control. To want each other is forbidden. To act on it could mean death. Yet their bodies betray them, drawn together by something older than fate. Every heartbeat, every whispered word pulls them closer — until desire becomes a weapon as lethal as the curse that hunts her. He wants to claim her. She wants to resist. But can either survive the forbidden attraction burning between them?

A drunken night leads to an unexpected encounter with Niklas, a wealthy but arrogant heir. Desperate to save her family from financial ruin, Andrea reluctantly agrees to a marriage of convenience. However, this marriage intended as a lifeline, becomes a battlefield as Niklas's lover returns, threatening to destroy Andrea's already fragile existence.

When I'm on my break, I decide to help my neighbor, Yvonne Cook, fix the gas valve, which has been leaking gas. But she instantly lodges a report, saying that I've gone against the rules. She demands compensation for the shock that she's suffered as well. I don't bother defending myself. Instead, I just write a reflection report. After that, my squad leader sentences me to disciplinary confinement. Yvonne wastes no time gloating in the tenants' group chat. "It's time to teach these power-abusers a good lesson, anyway!" Three days later, a fire breaks out in Yvonne's apartment. Thick plumes of dark smoke keep rising from the burning apartment. Yvonne wails as she bangs on my door and pleads with me. "Please crack open the door and put out the fire!" I can only sigh from behind my front door. "I'm under disciplinary suspension right now, so I can't break protocol. You should wait for the fire truck instead."

She was born into gold but buried in lies. Twice married. Twice betrayed. And yet, in her final breath, Eleanor Valemont discovers the cruel truth: neither of her powerful husbands ever loved her. They loved Jane, the butler’s daughter—charming, sweet-faced, and cunning enough to steal everything Eleanor held dear. Poisoned by the man she once called her second chance, Eleanor dies with nothing but a broken heart and a burning vow: “If I get another chance, I’ll change everything.” But fate listens. Thrown back in time to the moment she must choose her husband, Eleanor defies expectations. She ignores the two brothers who betrayed her in her first life, and instead, shocks high society by choosing Lucian, the illegitimate third son. The same man who once rejected her with cruel words after a steamy night. He doesn’t love her. She doesn’t want love. This time, Eleanor only wants one thing… Power to change her faith and protect what’s rightfully hers.

Through the bond that tied my wolf to his, I sent ninety-nine screams for help. The hundredth time, he answered—distant, distracted. "Seraphine, I'm occupied. Stop whining like a needy pup." I lay in an ice crevice, our pup suffocating in my womb, while he hunted beneath the full moon with another. Five days later, I woke in a healing den. Through the wall, I heard my mate—my Alpha—speaking of me like livestock. "Keep her under until Lysandra whelps," Leon growled to the shaman. "If she learns I drained our pup for that she-wolf's marrow, I'll have your tongue. And if you fail me—I'll burn your den to ash." I touched the mating mark burning on my throat and reached for the crystal. My voice didn't tremble. "Harris. Prepare the severance scroll. I want his signature before the moon wanes." The she-wolf who loved her Alpha died in that ravine. The one who clawed out will make him howl.
