Christopher Michael Langan

In the heart of New York City, amidst the chaos of honking horns and towering skyscrapers, Michael Stone—Alpha of one of the most powerful werewolf packs in the world—sits impatiently in the back of his black luxury car. He’s in the city for a high-stakes business meeting with humans, one that could alter the future of his pack. Time is slipping away, and traffic is at a standstill. Then he sees her. A young woman, effortlessly beautiful, walks down the busy sidewalk, unaware of the world watching her. She moves with quiet grace and a softness that cuts through the noise. Human, he assumes—until the primal force within him growls a single word: Mate. Without a second thought, Michael abandons the car—and his meeting—and follows her into a hotel building. Her name is Anastasia (“Anna”). She’s cautious, guarded, yet her kindness radiates like sunlight. Their chance encounter turns into a pull neither of them can deny. As days become weeks, Michael can’t stay away. Belle, a gentle soul and devoted single mother to a little boy, begins to open up to the mysterious, commanding man who keeps appearing in her life. What she doesn’t know is that Michael is no ordinary man—he’s a werewolf Alpha, and he’s already claimed her as his. Despite his world being one of power, secrets, and supernatural law, Michael makes Anna a promise: if she trusts him, he’ll give her a life she’s never dreamed possible. But trust is hard won—and danger looms. Because Anna isn’t who she thinks she is. And the truth, once revealed, will change everything. Love, loyalty, and fate collide in The Unexpected Fated Mate—a gripping paranormal romance that proves sometimes the biggest secrets hide behind the most human hearts.

Vanessa harboured a stunning secret-she was born into a powerful family and was an heiress of a renowned company. Yet, her distant husband divorced her without ever learning her true identity.

With her return, she exacted revenge on those who had wronged her. Her reappearance shocked everyone, and to her satisfaction, her ex-husband, Michael, began to regret his actions.

At twenty, she was taken to a night club for the first time. Now, at twenty six, she meets with the one man she has ever slept with. Christopher Allen. She had taken his money and ran. She always hoped to never come across him again. Now, he appears and wants to take his daughter or they get married. Yes, she had a child after just one night. One night of reckless abandon. Her first time. {"You make me laugh, I am here for what belongs to me and I think you know what that is," he said. My heart dropped to my feet immediately after he said that. I know he would want his money and I hope that is what he is talking about. "What do you want, your money?" I asked hoping he will say yes. "You are very funny... I want what belongs to me and you know very well what that is, yes, you took my money but, that's not what I am talking about... I WANT MY DAUGHTER!" } He had come demanding and she had no choice. She either agrees to be his wife or never sees her beloved daughter again. That was what bound her to him for life. A night had led to being his forever.

“Used. Marked. Betrayed. Now it’s her turn to break the rules." Elena thought being mated meant safety, love, and forever. But forever shattered the day her husband brought another woman home, under the lie of sickness, only for Elena to discover she was pregnant with his child. And worse? He wanted an open bond, like she was some convenience to be traded when bored. Heartbroken but not broken, Elena makes the boldest decision of her life: divorce him, break the mate bond, and make him bleed for every lie he fed her. But Michael isn't letting go that easily. Not when power, pride, and his darkest secrets are tied to her. When Elena turns to Alpha Horace, the ruthless Alpha King and her husband’s estranged cousin, she finds more than protection; she finds someone who sees her, desires her, and is willing to burn everything down to keep her safe.

She wasn't meant to survive this! Seven years ago, Alessia Black was forced into a loveless marriage, betrayed by the people she trusted most. Her husband, Rowan Black, humiliated her. Her own son turned against her. And her stepsister, Elora, stole everything that should have been hers. When she walked away, she swore she would never return. But now, she’s back—and she’s not the same woman they discarded. She’s stronger, sharper, and armed with a plan to take back what was stolen. With Michael Anderson, the only man ruthless enough to stand by her side, Alessia is ready to dismantle the empire built on her suffering. As Alessia digs deeper, long-buried secrets rise to the surface, each one more lethal than the last. Betrayal runs in her past, present and future. And if she isn’t careful, she won’t just lose her revenge—she’ll lose her life. But still, she came back. Not for love. Not for forgiveness. Just cold, merciless payback. They tried to break her. Now it’s her turn to destroy them.

Cerita ini berkisah tentang kehidupan di tahun 3000. Semburan lumpur Lapindo hampir menenggelamkan pulau Jawa bagian timur. Ditambah kemunculan planet Nibiru yang memancarkan gelombang partikel energi plasma menimbulkan perubahan besar pada struktur aliran inti bumi. Peningkatan kegiatan seismik dan volkanik memicu peningkatan aktifitas gunung berapi. Indonesia yang berada di wilayah cincin api pasifik, menerima imbas besar terutama pulau Jawa. Secara beruntun letusan gunung berapi menenggelamkan setengah dari pulau Jawa bagian barat. Pulau Jawa hanya tersisa hamparan tanah gersang dari sisa-sisa luapan lumpur Lapindo dan debu vulkanik letusan gunung berapi. Peradaban lama telah musnah, kehidupan baru pun tercipta. Sludge City, sebuah kota yang berdiri diatas dataran tandus itu. Dimana air bersih dan oksigen menjadi sesuatu yang sangat berharga. Lord Zack memimpin Sludge City dengan memonopoli sumber alam yang menjadi sumber kehidupan penduduk Sludge City. Sementara jauh dari pusat kota Slude City, terpisah oleh ratusan kilometer tanah gersang dan tandus, ada sebuah tempat tersembunyi di dasar lembah dari pegunungan Dieng. Sangat kontras dengan keadaaan Sludge City, Lembah Dieng merupakan tempat dengan sumber air bersih dan oksigen yang melimpah, hutan dan pepohonan yang masih rimbun, membuat Lembah Dieng begitu hijau jika di lihat dari langit. Struktur tanah yang berada di dasar lembah dan dikelilingi perbukitan dan bebatuan membuat lembah Dieng aman, sekaligus terisolasi dari dunia luar. Anaxtra lahir dan tumbuh dewasa di lembah itu, hampir setiap sudut lembah tak pernah luput dari pijakan kakinya. Lembah itu terasa sempit baginya. "Ada dunia seperti apa di balik dinding batu yang menjulang tinggi yang membatasi geraknya?" Pikirnya setiap kali pandangannya terbentur pada tembok raksasa di depannya. Dan petualangannya pun dimulai ketika suatu hari Anaxtra berhasil naik keluar dari dalam Tebing Dieng.
