Elastic Hearts

On the night of her 18th birthday, under a blood moon, Aurora’s world is shattered. For centuries, a cruel tradition has ruled the land: when a girl turns eighteen, she is summoned to the palace for the Mating Ceremony—a night where bloodlines are bound, and the ruthless Alpha King hunts for his destined queen. None may refuse. None return the same. Behind the palace walls, whispers speak of broken hearts, shattered minds, and a throne soaked in centuries of suffering. Now, it’s her turn. Will she survive the claiming… or become just another name lost to the shadows of the crown, she comes face to face with the Lycan King—a beast of legend, forged in war and drowned in blood. Will she tame the darkness that rules him, or be consumed by the savage fate that awaits all who dare to defy his reign?

My boyfriend, Jules Gray, was the most ruthless young Don of his family, while I was the best mercenary who had once struck fear into the hearts of the underworld. He said he liked gentle women, so I laid down my weapons for love. We were at war. To settle it, he broke my hand and sent me to the Grays' rival family as a 'sacrifice'.

Imagine your boss pays you to spy on his fiancée. You need the cash to save your brother, so you take the job. Simple. Until you get caught by the man she’s sleeping with. He’s Foxe; a dicey billionaire who immediately pulls you into his orbit. But just as the tension with him sparks, you find yourself falling for your boss, too. Now you’re trapped in a messy triangle between the man who hired you and the one you’re investigating. And the fiancée? She isn’t just unfaithful; she's homicidal.

She was the perfect wife… until her husband asked for an open marriage. Years of betrayal had taught her how to stay quiet, how to endure. But this time, she refused to break softly. If he could cheat without remorse, she would answer in kind… cold, calculated, and meant to hurt. One night. One stranger. No emotions. She never expected him to have a daughter. She never expected the child to look at her like home. What began as revenge turns into a dangerous attachment, and the man she paid to forget becomes the one who sees her pain most clearly. But love born from betrayal is never simple… and walking away may cost her more than staying ever did. When hearts are already broken, can love still be real… or will it ruin them all?

She was supposed to be the bride — until her best friend stole her fiancé and her own family handed her over like a bargaining chip. But fate has a wicked sense of humor. On the day of her greatest humiliation, a stranger in a black suit offers her a hand — and a contract. “Marry me. I’ll make you untouchable. And I’ll help you destroy them all.” He’s the illegitimate heir — the one they never acknowledged. Cold. Calculated. Dangerous. Now, she’s his wife in name only. Together, they’ll bring down the ones who betrayed them. But in the game of vengeance, hearts are not supposed to be collateral. What happens when revenge turns into obsession… and a fake marriage starts to feel dangerously real? Betrayal runs deep. Payback is personal. And love? That was never part of the deal… until it was.
