He Regretted Making Me His Second Choice

On the day our son, Lucas Smith, turned one month old, my husband, Xavier Smith, learned that his precious childhood sweetheart, Wendy Xander, had been kidnapped. The kidnappers made an outrageous demand. They wanted him to personally cut off our son’s legs. He acted indifferent, as if it didn’t matter. But behind my back, he drugged my drink with a heavy dose of sleeping pills. Dazed and barely able to stay awake, I forced myself toward the nursery. That was when I overheard his conversation with his bodyguard. “Mr. Smith, there’s a good chance Miss Xander staged this whole kidnapping. Are you really going to do this? What if something happens to Lucas?” “It’s just a kid. If he dies, he dies. “Even if this is all fake, I won’t take a single risk when it comes to Wendy.” My hands trembled as I gripped the doorframe. So this was what I meant to him. Eight years together. His own flesh and blood. And none of it mattered more than Wendy.

Scarlet’s world shattered the night she discovered her husband in her bed with her own sister. The betrayal was brutal. The humiliation, unforgivable. And what hurt the most? Neither of them felt a single ounce of remorse. Within months, her husband divorced her and married the very woman who helped destroy her life, her sister. They thought she would break. They thought she would disappear quietly. They were wrong. Ryan Marchetti—cold, calculating, and dangerously powerful, has spent years waiting for the perfect chance to destroy his business rival. Marrying that rival’s ex-wife is the ultimate move. Strategic. For Scarlet, marrying Ryan isn’t about love. It’s about revenge. A calculated alliance. A public statement. A promise that she will rise from the ashes they left her in. Together, they become the scandal that shakes empires. But revenge is never simple. Because behind Ryan’s icy control lies a secret, one tied to her past, to her ex-husband, to the very marriage that ruined her life. A truth so explosive it could unravel everything she thought she knew. Was she just a pawn in Ryan’s war from the very beginning? Or is the man she’s slowly falling for capable of betraying her too? In a game fueled by vengeance, power, and buried truths, Scarlet must decide: Will she let betrayal destroy her again… Or will she risk her heart for the one man who might truly love her?

From a disgraced Luna whose execution was already ordered by her gormless and ripe-for-the-picking Alpha of a husband, to becoming the long-lost princess of the revered witch empire, Xylia thought she'd finally thrown off hard luck. However, on her 25th birthday, she received a terrible blow. The ill-famed fiend, Kyle Norman, King of the Lycan realm turned out to her mate! He wasn't going to take 'No!' for an answer. He wasn't planning to let go of the 'property' the Moon goddess had bestowed on him. War was nothing but a means to get Xylia to his side forever, even if he had to tread on a sea of carcasses. From a dignified princess entitled to splendiferous things to a lowly maid in the Lycan realm, a despondent Xylia gets another surprise. Kyle has a twin with a vendetta against him? And worst of all, that vindictive twin is also her mate?! Just how hair-raising were things going to get?

Thirteen years of my life were given to Ethan Cross. I believed in his music before anyone else did, stayed through the long nights when success was only a dream, and held on to every promise that I would be the woman by his side when it all finally came true. After eight years as his girlfriend and four more wearing his ring, he walked away. Seven months later, an invitation arrived. Ethan is getting married. And not to me. He is marrying my cousin sister. The wedding is set on a two week getaway meant for couples only. Ethan may think I will stay behind, broken and forgotten, but he is wrong. I will not be showing up alone. My date is Adrian Cole, Ethan’s powerful boss in the music industry, the man who holds his career in his hands and the one rival he never wanted near me. Ethan thought he left me behind. But this time I am not the girl he abandoned. I am stronger, I have found my own rhythm, and I am walking back into his world with the one man who can break him the way he broke me.

After five years of marriage, I received a wedding invitation from abroad. The groom is my husband, Arnold Willowstream. The bride is my younger sister, Yasmine Cooper. In disbelief, I decide to fly to Ainland and witness the wedding for myself. But the moment I see Arnold holding Yasmine and kissing her deeply, my heart shatters completely. Fireworks explode in the sky, and glowing words appear above—"Happy Marriage, Mr. Willowstream and Ms. Yasmine." In that instant, it feels like a blade piercing straight through my chest. Watching them look so happy together, I feel like I'm the one intruding on someone else's marriage. Love is a game for two—there's no room for a third. If he's already gotten married to someone else, what place do I have left in his life? Rather than waiting to be pushed out, I choose to walk away on my own and at least keep the last shred of dignity.

“We found you, little wolf. Again.” His eyes gleamed when he looked at me. “You can’t run from us.” They thought the Alpha’s family was murdered, but Aria was saved and taken under the rule of Alpha Rowan, disguised as a weak Omega. Her wolf abilities were bound, and she was treated as the servant of the pack, being unable to shift or use her senses nor sense her mate bond but she found herself attracted to four men. Alpha Damon, the Alpha of the largest pack often known to be ruthless and unruly. Kade, the fiery and passionate warrior within the pack of Aria Lucian, the mysterious and calculating strategist from the werewolf council, and Soren, the charming smart rogue. Plaques with the agony of her bonded wolf and the mates she couldn’t have. Something was hunting her, something big, something that she wasn’t sure she could survive. Will they step up when she needs them the most, unbound her wolf, and seek the one that truly belongs to her, or have them all?

Adele thought the worst day of her life was burying her husband—until the Mafia came to collect the twenty million dollars he left behind. They didn’t just want money.

But death wasn’t the end. Adele woke up in the past, with one burning vow: this time, she would not be the victim. This time, she would make Eric pay. Her revenge plan was flawless until a new devil entered the game. Angel Dragovich. The ruthless head of House Dragovich—dangerous, sinfully magnetic, and calculative. He wasn’t part of her story before—so why was he here now? ……… Angel Dragovich doesn’t chase petty debts, but when he sees Adele, he claims her as his own. Her fire awakens something dark in him… something that won’t rest until she bends—or breaks.

Chloe Bennett thought she had it all — a loving husband, a beautiful home, and a life built on trust. That illusion shatters the night she discovers her husband, Chris, is having an affair with her former best friend, Molly Turner. Then comes Lucas Sterling, a magnetic and dangerous man, who's hiding scars of his own. He's a billionaire with a shadowed past, he offers Chloe something she’s forgotten how to feel. “Let me show you what real desire feels like,” he tells her, and against her better judgment, she lets him in. But as Chloe begins to rebuild, the past refuses to stay buried. Old wounds, new temptations, and vengeful enemies and rivals threaten to destroy the fragile life she’s piecing together — and this time, her heart might not survive the fallout.

“You are not my mate. But you are my soul’s obsession. I will never share you, not even with your true mate.” He confessed as his thrusts grew. **** Sera thought she had her life figured out—college plans, a sweet human boyfriend, and parents who had successfully hidden their werewolf past. Then rogues hunt her for power and kill her boyfriend. Alpha Kael and his son, Damian arrive to take her safe since she was betrothed to Damian years ago. When they meet, their mate bond sparks instantly. Neither wants it. Damian is in love with his male partner, and Sera is too broken to fall in love. They agree to fake their bond publicly while living separate lives privately. At the pack, Sera can read everyone’s minds except Alpha Kael’s. Drawn to the silence she’s found since her powers manifested, she becomes obsessed with him. He’s her father’s best friend and her godfather forbidden in every way that matters, and twice her age. He’s supposed to help her survive the rogues. Instead, they become lovers. Kael takes her as an incarnation of his ex-wife. The pack watches but stays silent. After all, who questions him? But when Damian’s partner betrays him, he starts investigating what makes Sera so valuable, everything changes.

Then Sera discovers she’s pregnant with the Alpha’s child. The pack council calls it an abomination and demands she terminate the pregnancy. Sera must choose between the forbidden love that could destroy everything, or the fated bond that promises safety but might never feel like home.
