In my third month of employment, I realized that my colleagues were calling me an old geezer behind my back. This nickname came from Wanda Stewart’s arrogant and ambitious assistant. I had hit the age of 32, but was still clinging onto the last vestiges of hope of marriage after eight long years of our relationship. I asked Wanda, “Do you know that your subordinates call me an old geezer?” She said without batting an eyelid, “That’s just the way Samuel is. He’s just a straight-talker and he’s just kidding. You’re already 32, are you seriously fussing about this?” She then chuckled, “You two are really alike.” My heart turned cold. Turns out that eight years of my youth were nothing but a joke to her. I turned to leave, resigning from my post and blocking her. Yet, the woman who was always so calm and cool started panicking. “Jansen Graham, please come back to me.”

(pls updating Starts 10th of April) On her eighteenth birthday, Melissa expected a fated mate bond and a future as Luna. Instead, she received a public humiliation that shattered her soul.

But her plan hits a deadly snag when she touches Briston, the Alpha’s son and heir. The spark is undeniable.

"This is all wrong, Emma; you and I do not fit in the same world. Fate has played a cruel joke on you by tying you to me. There is no place for an angel in my hell," Luca Alessandro. "The universe did not prepare me for this, but my heart is stronger than you think Luca; we will rule this hell together, side by side as equals", Emma Wyatt. ____________ Emma Wyatt was a simple Omega wolf from a low family in her pack. She had four brothers, a sick mother and a father with a gambling problem. Her life wasn't pleasant, especially when everyone was above her. Her dream world was her escape. In that world, she met a man, perfect in every way. She spent time with him giving her joy and sanity the real world couldn't afford her. She kept a journal of these dreams as it was her escape from reality. Soon her reality becomes hell, and she finds the man in her dreams in this hell. Little did she know he ruled it.

One sarcastic TikTok. That’s all it took to turn Lila’s perfectly average high school life into a full-blown circus. When her private joke about Jason Cole—the most popular (and most irritating) guy in school accidentally goes viral, everyone suddenly believes they’re dating. Jason, of course, plays along. Why wouldn’t he? He gets attention, free perks, and his ego boosted to the size of the football field. But now Lila’s stuck in a deal she never wanted: pretend to be Jason’s girlfriend for a month in exchange for something she needs. Simple, right? Except Jason isn’t making it simple. He’s charming when he wants to be, annoyingly sweet when she least expects it, and suddenly Lila can’t tell what’s fake and what might actually be real. High school was complicated enough without fake boyfriends, viral rumors, and confusing feelings. But falling for Jason Cole? That was never part of the plan.

It was our tenth anniversary, and I thought Joseph Lynch was finally going to propose to me. However, I accidentally saw the texts on his phone and realized what a joke I had been these past ten years. [It’s our first anniversary. Darling, I want you to spend time with me.] That woman uttered such sweet and intimate words, which I rarely said to Joseph. [I’ll give her some sleeping pills before I see you.] I could not believe Joseph would say such a thing. My fingers trembled as I scrolled down their conversation. [Don’t marry her. Marry me instead!] Then, she sent him a cute and attractive photo of her. She looked like a student. [Let’s see how you behave tonight. I bought you some new lingerie. Be good and put them on. Wait for me next door.] I was wearing some ill-fitting undies while sitting in bed. Right then, I was filled with bitterness. It turned out that Joseph had bought these undies for someone else.

I walked into that pack with one goal, catch a killer. Not fall for the one man I swore I’d never see again. Grayson. Alpha. Arrogant. Dangerous. The same man who hated me for years… and now looks at me like I belong to him. The second our eyes meet, something inside me ignites. The mate bond. A cruel, twisted joke from the universe. Because he’s a werewolf, I’m human, and this kind of bond is forbidden. But when he’s close, logic burns away. His scent seeps under my skin. His touch makes it impossible to breathe. And the way he growls my name… it’s a sin I crave more than air. We’re supposed to be enemies. Instead, we’re tangled in a fire that could ruin us both. The pack is dying. A killer lurks in the shadows. And the Alpha I hate might be the only one who can save me… or destroy me completely. I came to stop a monster. I didn’t expect to fall for one.
