“I will repeat myself that I, Alpha Oswald, make you, Carly Hayes, my concubine because you are my mate!” **** Over the years, Carly Hayes had been striving rather hard just to find a mate among the group of wolves flocking sheepishly around her, each with an enticing proposal. But true happiness eluded her: to have clocked 25 without being mated was indeed a quagmire— her quagmire. Even though her impeccable beauty had managed to compel men into any nightclub or social event she attended. She felt an emptiness in her for her mate, her wolf was getting restless and that made her more determined to find her mate. Along the story, her efforts drove her down to the eclipse pack house where she bowed before the ruthless Alpha Oswald, the cruelest of all alphas, for allegedly being accused of seducing a mated wolf. Alpha Oswald was a man of his word, a man who doesn't leave any stones untouched in getting whatever he wanted, the man any lady in the werewolf world would die for. He was rather shocked as his wolf called out ‘mate’ at just a gaze upon her stunning beauty. Alpha Oswald felt his guards unlocked as feelings grew in him for the unmated wolf before him, he made her his concubine whom he loved with all his heart but was not yet ready to confess his love before her. Their relationship sailed through as it kept blossoming as Nikita, the Luna of the eclipse pack stood as an obstacle to their love. Will Alpha Oswald later confess his love before her? If yes, how would Carly react to this? What will become of Nikita when she finds out about their love? What prevents Alpha Oswald from seeing his mate for many years? Find out in the book.

In the opulent halls of the Stanley manor, Judy Kent, the daughter of the family chauffeur, grew up alongside Chris Stanley. Their childhood bond blossomed quietly, a tender friendship that seemed unshakable. But Chris' traumatic kidnapping left him with deep psychological scars, manifesting in a peculiar fixation directed solely at Judy. Tragedy struck when Chris' father died in a car accident. With Judy’s father on leave that day and a substitute driver behind the wheel, Chris' grief turned into misplaced hatred toward Judy’s family. Their once-close bond shattered. Consumed by bitterness, Chris withdrew from her and inflicted emotional torment, even coercing her into signing a contract that bound her to him. Yet beneath the layers of anger, Chris' love for Judy never truly faded—it was merely buried under his rage. When the truth of the accident finally surfaced, the weight of Chris' actions drove Judy to walk away, unable to reconcile with the pain of her past. Only then did Chris realize the depth of his mistakes. Overwhelmed by guilt, he vowed to make amends, embarking on a desperate pursuit to win back her love and trust. But can Judy’s fractured heart mend? Will their shared history and enduring connection be enough to overcome the barriers between them? Or has too much been lost in the wake of betrayal for love to flourish again in the manor’s shadowed corridors?

Our place was hit by an earthquake. I was crushed by a slab of stone, but my wife, leader of the rescue squad, abandoned me in favor of her true love. She said, "You're a soldier. You can live with a little injury. Felix can't. He's always been weak, and he needs me." I was saved, eventually, and I wanted to leave my wife. I agreed to the chip research that would station me in one of the National Science Foundation's bases deep in the mountains. My leader was elated about my agreeing to this research. He grasped my hand tightly. "Marvelous. With you in our team, Jonathan, this research won't fail! But… you'll be gone for six whole years. Are you sure your partner's fine with it?" I nodded. "She will be. I'm serving the nation here. She'll understand." The leader patted my shoulder. "Good to know. The clock is ticking, so you'll only have one month to say your goodbyes. That enough for you?" I smiled. "More than enough."

Acht Jahre war ich verheiratet, als ich das milliardenschwere Erbe meines Großvaters antrat. Es war für mich und meinen Mann bestimmt, der aus einer Mafia-Familie stammte. Doch als der Anwalt die Übergabe vorbereitete, stellte sich heraus, dass unsere Heiratsurkunde gefälscht war – und das gesamte Vermögen nun allein mir zufiel. „Frau Rhein, laut unseren Systemen wurden Sie bereits vor einem Jahr geschieden. Die rechtmäßige Ehefrau von Herrn Bergmann ist ... Anna Sommer.“ „Sie gelten derzeit als ledig.“ „Das bedeutet, Herr Bergmann hat kein Recht auf das Erbe.“ Anna Sommer – Lukas Bergmanns erste Liebe aus den Jahren im Ausland. Als ich die Nachricht des Anwalts las, konnte ich sie lange nicht verwinden. All die Zuneigung, all die Fürsorge, die Lukas mir in den vergangenen Jahren entgegengebracht hatte – sie waren nichts als eine Lüge. Eigentlich hatte ich geplant, ihm an unserem Hochzeitstag zu sagen, dass ich schwanger war – etwas, worauf wir beide acht Jahre lang gewartet hatten. Aber jetzt sah ich, dass er sich darauf wohl kaum gefreut hätte. Ich legte die Hand auf meinen Bauch und dachte still: Selbst wenn meine Zwillinge keinen Vater haben, wird alles gut sein. Aus diesem von Lügen durchtränkten Ort wollte ich nur noch eines – fliehen.
