Gladiator Lucius Verus

SHE WAS HEARTBROKEN…. “I, Sandy Austin, reject you, Alpha Oswald.” Sandy Austin had given her virginity to her mate, Alpha Oswald, only to find out that her mate had cheated on her for two years, or who knows? Earlier than that. Out of anger, she rejected her right away, severing the mate bond between them.  Heartbroken, she agreed to be married to the Lycan King without even knowing what kind of man he was. However, she found that the Lycan King Lucius was her second chance mate…  HE WAS WAITING FOR HIS MATE… Rejected a couple of times by his mates, Lycan King Lucius was hopeful that he would finally succeed this time. All he wanted was a woman to stay by his side and an heir to the throne.  Until he laid his eyes on Sandy, the feisty woman he had chosen to be his since the day he saw her.  Twenty years later, Sandy Austin had grown into a woman who would fulfill his long dreams. There was only one problem. Sandy no longer trusted men, thinking they were all cheating bastards who were all the same, including him.  SHE WAS SET ON MOVING ON… Now, when Sandy finally decided to forget Alpha Oswald, the alpha had shown her presence and asked for her forgiveness.  However, she was about to marry the Lycan King…and forget the pain he had inflicted. Torn between Alpha Oswald and the Lycan King Lucius, who will she choose? Will she give Alpha Oswald another chance or would she settle for the emotionless Lycan King? 

He has been crowned as a King since he was eighteen years old. Twelve years passed since his fateful coronation, and Lucius, the Devil Alpha - as their pack mates called him- thought that this is the time to find his Luna as his Queen Alpha. Enter Selene, a quirky clumsy girl, who literally got lost in the middle of a lush thick forest out of nowhere where Lucius celebrate his thirtieth birthday with his pack mates. Either it's a fate, or a coincidence that brought them together, Lucius know that deep in his heart, his Wolf Alpha demands him to take her as his forever Luna

I'd loved my childhood friend, Colleen Decker, for ten years, until a car accident changed everything. She loses the ability to walk and never stands again. Her fiance, Ronald Coleman, and other self-proclaimed admirers disappear overnight. Even the Decker family turns their backs on her, cutting her off as the heiress. I'm the only one who stays by her side. I drop out of school and spend two years caring for her, doing everything I can to find the best specialists in the country. However, the moment she gets back on her feet—during the proposal I'd prepared—she announces in front of everyone that she's continuing her engagement to Ronald. When I confront her, Colleen grabs my hand, her voice soft and earnest. "Lucius, I'm not doing this because I want to. I'm marrying him to get back at him for walking away from me back then. You have to believe me. I only love you." But during a game of Truth or Dare, Ronald draws the King card. He points at me and says, "Lucius, choose any girl here and kiss her for one minute." I look to Colleen for help, but she turns her head away. "Don't look at me. I belong to Ronald now."

Livia's perfect little life in the Umbra Pack Changed instantly the day her family and pack members were murdered by the bloodthirsty Nightshade's warriors, she was taken in by a group of rogues, where she tried to train her strength to become powerful so she could be able to avenge her pack. The rogue group was invaded by the Crescent pack and she was captured by the warriors. Life in the Crescent pack was soul-crushing for Livia as she felt she had lost her chance of revenge against the Nightshade Pack, but it all changed after she met Lucius. Lucius who is set to become the next Alpha of the Crescent Pack and also Livia's MATE wants nothing to do with her as he sees her as a weakling who is not fit to rule by his side. But fate always has its way.

"Goddamit" the arrogant prince screamed in anger, frustration and irritation "I'm not talking about your first two daughters, for goodness sake who cares about them. I'm referring to your third daughter" Alpha Lucius froze instantly at those words and a look of shock enwrapped his face "But I don't have a third daughter your highness"He said softly "Franshia and Edaleen are the only female children I have and the king has already chosen Franshia to be your wife, he said he'll ask you when you want the wedding to take place" "I'm sick of exchanging words with you Lucius" the man said rudely, twitching his nose in irritation, then he turned to his guards "search the house, search every nook and cranny of this building you know the girl I'm looking for don't you" "Yes we do your highness,we all saw her enter into this house" "Good" "no your highness you're..." "Search the whole house and turn it upside down if need be,I need to leave this place with my wife,I need to set my eyes on her"... ★★★ Venus grew up hidden away from the world, with no parents to call her own and no identity. She endured all forms of abuse from her uncle's family until one fateful night when her story changed. Determined to find her mother and to solve the mystery of her unusual identity, she embarks on a journey of revenge, power, serendipity and of true love.

“I’m done with you, Aurora Fernandez—if that’s even your name.” Mia’s voice trembled with rage as she turned for the door. “You’ll regret refusing me,” Aurora snapped behind her. Mia's hand touched the knob—just as it turned on its own. The door creaked open. Her heart dropped. Standing in the doorway was a face she never wanted to see again. Lucius Lovato. The cold, merciless CEO of the department store where she'd once worked. His eyes swept over her with visible disdain. “Who is this little thing, Eva?” he asked, his voice hoarse and biting. And just like that, Mia knew—she was trapped again. Wrongfully accused. Publicly humiliated. Betrayed by the only man she ever loved. Mia Simpson thought she'd hit rock bottom. Then came the offer—escape prison and start over, under one terrifying condition: seduce and marry Lucius Lovato, the mafia heir with a heart of ice and a soul no one dares touch. But Mia isn’t the fragile girl the world thinks she is. She agrees to the deal—on her own terms. Behind her innocent eyes burns a thirst for revenge, and the deeper she steps into the dark world of power, blood, and secrets, the more dangerous she becomes. Lucius, however, is not a man easily fooled. Every attempt to break him only draws him closer. And every secret Mia hides? He already suspects. As enemies close in and her hidden past begins to unravel, Mia discovers a horrifying truth—she is not just a girl caught in the middle of a mafia war. She is the legacy of something much greater… and much more feared. He was her mission. She was his undoing. But in the underworld, love might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Naomi sacrificed ten years for her love with Liam, only to be betrayed and sold to Lucius, a cold CEO who saw marriage as nothing more than a transaction. A one–year contract, no emotions, no complications. But when two different worlds collided, the boundaries were quickly erased, and an invisible forbidden feeling arose. Yet, just as she began to love someone new, the old lover returned. Liam refused to let go, and Lucius would not accept having what he owned taken from him. Not love with the old, not a possession to the new… yet impossible to refuse!

Excerpt “Did he touch you?” Nicholas leaned in, his face inches away from mine. His closeness was suffocating,stealing the breath in my lungs. “Nic, stop!” My breath hitched and I shrank back. “I’ll take that as a yes, which hand?” He questioned again, clenching his jaws so hard that I could see the muscles rippling. “It was a mistake..” I whispered. “That doesn’t look like a mistake, Mira..” he moved closer to me. “It was, please let it go” I pleaded with my last bit of energy. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll bring both hands for you to choose,”. ********.
