"Bound by a prophecy, our love was never ours to keep. It was written, a passion cursed to consume us both—destined to ignite, destined to destroy, and never to be undone." Have you ever looked at your stepbrother and been like, Damn, I wanted him? For Ahvi Thatcher, life as a step-sibling has never been easy. She remembered the first time she saw him and the attraction that nearly knocked herself off her feet. It was strong—too strong, almost unnatural. But he was her stepbrother and the feelings were wrong and she knew it, yet she couldn't resist the lure of the forbidden fruit that was her step-brother. One forbidden bite and she found herself in a whirl of passion and intrigue, torn between the forces of love and lust that battled inside her heart. Will Ahvi be dragged into the shadows by her stepbrother, her sinful desires, and her own forbidden passion, or will she break free and find a brighter road ahead? What if there was no bright road ahead? What if everything and everyone she knew was a lie and now she must save herself from a world she never knew existed in the first place? only if she hadn't given in to her desires.

Ava never wanted anything to do with alphas. Or wolves. Or fate. She survived by being invisible—quiet, unwanted, forgotten at the edge of the human world. Until the night she runs. Until the forest answers. Until Alpha Cassian finds her. He is the most feared leader of the Blood Moon pack. Cold. Controlled. Untouchable. And cursed. What should have been a trespass becomes something far worse. A bond. Ancient. Forbidden. Impossible. Ava is human. At least, that’s what she believes. But the curse that chains Cassian to his throne recognizes her before he does. And recognition is never innocent. As desire ignites and the pack begins to fracture, Ava discovers something awakening in her blood—something older than wolves, older than the curse itself. If Cassian marks her, the bond will stabilize. If he doesn’t, the Council will. And either choice could cost her life. Because loving an Alpha is dangerous. But being the reason he falls? Deadly. Some bonds are not fate. They are a sentence. And dawn is coming.

In the world of Hetonaia, humans, vampires, elves and other creatures exist, but they aren't on good terms with each other. Humans and vampires exist to conquer because of their mass number. Meanwhile, elves the immortal and with lesser numbers exist to protect other beings from extinction. Amethyst Elan is an elf from the White Elf tribe or Healer Elves who have been captured and turned into a slave after humans destroyed her village. But, fate plays a major role when the assumed crazy vampire king, Luveas Dayn, bought her because her scent reminded him of someone he treasured and he treated her with great care. When Amethyst thought her life had taken a better turn of fate, suddenly, the humans proposed a truce to coexist through a marriage between the vampire king and their human princess. In other words, the union will place the elven race and other beings in grave danger especially Amethyst Elan, who accidentally marks the vampire king as her spouse.

“You are mine,” he growls. “Even if I have to break every rule to keep you.” New girl. New town and definitely new rules. Emma Thorne didn’t ask to get dragged into a high school crawling with werewolves, especially not the Alpha who watches her like he’s starving. Noah Blackthorn is cold and powerful plus gorgeous, and totally off-limits. He already has a girl wrapped around his bed and his reputation, but when he locks eyes with Emma, everything changes, because she’s not just any girl. She’s his mate. And it’s too bad she’s human but he’s a possessive Alpha who doesn’t take rejection well. Now Emma’s stuck in the middle of mean girls who want her gone, secrets she was never meant to hear, and a dangerous connection to a guy who makes her feel everything and nothing all at once. In this town, love doesn’t just burn, it marks you.

"Today marks three years of our marriage, yet you've never looked into my eyes, hugged me, or shown any physical intimacy. Your father and everyone else think I'm barren! No one would believe that we've never been intimate. I'm tired of living this lie! I'll have to tell your father the truth; perhaps they'll stop blaming me!" Aurora exclaimed angrily, her frustration boiling over. "If you dare breathe a word of that to my father, mark my words; it'll be your last day. I'll personally strangle you, you old hag!"

His teeth sank into my neck, and I cried out, biting back just as he said, but it didn’t hurt like I thought it was, it was euphoric in a way, dangerously good as I moaned.
