Morí el día de mi cumpleaños, pero ni mis papás ni mi esposo se dieron cuenta. Todos estaban de lleno en los preparativos de la fiesta de cumpleaños de mi hermana gemela, Alicia Gonzáles. Mientras todos la rodeaban para escoger su vestido de gala, a mí me habían amarrado de pies y manos y me habían arrojado al sótano. Con las últimas fuerzas que me quedaban y con los dedos ya torcidos, logré marcar el 9395, la señal que Sergio Sandarti y yo habíamos acordado para pedir ayuda en caso de peligro. Nunca imaginé que llegaría el día de tener que usarla de verdad. Pero Sergio no me creyó. Respondió con frialdad: “¿De verdad haces tanto drama nada más porque no te llevamos a comprar un vestido nuevo? El del año pasado todavía te queda bien. Nos vemos más tarde en la fiesta, deja de hacer escándalo”. Él no sabía que mi vestido ya lo había destrozado Alicia. Tampoco sabía que, en cuanto colgué la llamada, yo ya estaba muerta. Así que no asistí a la fiesta de cumpleaños. Pero cuando todos vieron el regalo que yo había preparado con anticipación para Alicia, se volvieron locos.

“We signed the divorce papers six months ago. Tonight I’m wearing the lingerie he bought me on our honeymoon…and I’m not leaving his penthouse until he remembers why he put a ring on it.” Lila Grant never begged,not when Ethan built his empire on her late-night sketches. Not when he shut her out with silence colder than the marble floors of their Manhattan tomb. Not when she scrawled her signature on the line that severed them. But six months of celibate nights and whiskey-soaked memories have carved her hollow. One look at him across a crowded gala with his new fiancée draped on his arm like a cheap trophy and something primal snaps inside her. She kisses him in front of the cameras. Claims the mouth that once whispered mine against her throat and then she issues the ultimatum that detonates their carefully buried war: Thirty nights. His Hamptons fortress. One bed. No safe words. No surrender. If either of them says the word divorce, the other walks away with everything,money, pride, the last shred of sanity. Ethan never lost until Lila walks back in wearing red silk and the scent of ruin. What begins as a vicious game of who-blinks-first spirals into something darker. Jealousy that tastes like blood on the tongue. Sex that leaves bruises shaped like vows. He wants to punish her for leaving. She wants to burn the memory of his touch out of her skin. Both get exactly what they came for,until the one thing neither planned explodes between them: She’s pregnant. And the man who swore he’d never beg is on his knees

Alessia Volkov, the ice-princess heiress to a powerful Russian syndicate, believes her life is mapped out: a strategic marriage to secure an alliance. But on the night of her engagement gala, her world is shattered. Dante Moretti, the most feared and ruthless Mafia Don in the city, storms the event. His reason? A blood debt owed by her fiancé's family. And he’s taking Alessia as collateral. Dragged from a life of opulent privilege, Alessia is thrown into a gilded cage: Dante’s impenetrable penthouse high above the city. Her defiance is immediate and fierce. She fights him with every weapon she has, venomous words, calculated escapes, and sheer, unbreakable will. But Dante is a master of breaking things. He doesn't use fists; he uses desire. His relentless, calculated seduction is a war of attrition against her body and mind. A rough hand pinning her wrists against the cold glass wall. A bruising kiss that tastes like victory and sin. A whispered threat that sends a shiver of unwanted arousal straight to her core. As the lines between captor and captive blur, a dangerous, twisted passion ignites. Their encounters are explosive battles of dominance and surrender, each feverish fuck chipping away at her resistance until her hatred transforms into a dark, addictive need. She begins to crave his touch, his possession, his punishing cock. But outside their penthouse fortress, enemies are closing in. The very war that brought them together threatens to tear them apart. Alessia must decide: is she the prize in this bloody conflict, or is she the queen destined to rule beside the king who stole her? This is a story of obsession, betrayal, and a love so violent it can only be born in the dark.

Aku menatap kontrak pernikahan Keluarga Varsali yang didorong ayahku ke seberang meja. Tanpa ragu, kutulis nama saudari tiriku, Dina, lalu kusodorkan kembali. Ayahku terdiam membeku. Kemudian, matanya menyala dengan antusiasme konyol, seolah-olah baru saja memenangkan lotre. "Kenapa kamu kamu mau memberikan kesempatan sesempurna ini pada adikmu?" Di kehidupan sebelumnya, pernikahanku adalah bahan tertawaan semua orang di sekitarku. Aku si penyihir kecil liar berambut merah yang berani masuk ke dunia Cassius Varsali, pewaris sekaligus pemimpin Keluarga Kriminal Varsali. Aku tak pernah sempurna, apalagi patuh. Dia menyukai gaun bak dewi, aku memakai rok mini dan menari di atas meja. Dia menuntut keintiman yang misionaris, tradisional, dan patuh, aku ingin berada di atas, menungganginya, tenggelam sepenuhnya. Di sebuah gala, para istri kalangan atas mentertawakan rambutku, gaunku, dan keliaranku. Kupikir setidaknya dia akan berpura-pura membelaku, tetapi dia tidak melakukannya. "Maafkan dia. Dia belum ... terlatih dengan baik." Terlatih. Seperti anjing. Sepanjang kehidupan terakhirku, aku tercekik di bawah aturannya, membengkokkan diriku hingga berdarah agar pas dengan bentuk yang dia inginkan, sampai malam rumah kami terbakar. Saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke momen ketika pertama kali mengetahui perjodohan itu. Aku menatap kontrak di hadapanku. Kali ini? Kurasa para pria klub malam lebih cocok untukku. Namun, saat Cassius menyadari pengantinnya bukan aku, dia menghancurkan setiap aturan yang selama ini dia pegang teguh.

I had been married to Alexander for three years. Everyone feared his ruthlessness, but he had always been incredibly gentle with me. But ever since Elena took a bullet for him during a shootout six months ago, everything changed. He always said she got hurt saving him, so I had to be accommodating. At the family’s most prestigious gala, my husband—the Don, Alexander—arrived with his secretary, Elena, on his arm. Pinned to her chest was the ruby brooch that symbolized the position of the Donna of the family. "Elena took a bullet for me. She liked the brooch, so I let her borrow it for a while. Regardless, you are the only donna here. Try to show some class." I didn't argue with him. I just removed my wedding ring and pulled out the divorce papers: "Since she likes it so much, she can have it. Including this seat next to you. I'm giving that up, too." Alexander signed without hesitation, a cold smile on his face. "What kind of manipulative trick are you playing now? You're an orphan, separated from your family, you won't survive three days in Sicily. I'll wait for you to come back begging me." I took out an encrypted satellite phone I hadn't used in three years. Alexander didn't know that I was actually the youngest daughter of the oldest Mafia family in Europe. But my family and Alexander’s had always been enemies. To marry him, I had changed my name and even severed ties with my father and brothers. The call connected. I took a deep breath and whispered, "Papa, I regret it. Send someone to pick me up in two weeks."

Si Elena Marquez, isang simpleng physical therapist, ay namumuhay nang tahimik at malayo sa mundo ng mayayaman. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang dumalo siya sa isang charity gala ng hospital kung saan siya nagtatrabaho. Doon niya nakilala si Dr. Alexander Villareal, isang malamig ngunit makapangyarihang billionaire neurosurgeon na kilala sa kanyang talino at intimidating na presensya. Ang isang gabing hindi inaasahan ay nagdulot ng matinding attraction sa pagitan nila—isang bagay na hindi nila kayang ipaliwanag. Ilang linggo matapos ang gabing iyon, kumalat sa media ang isang scandal na nag-uugnay sa kanilang dalawa. Upang protektahan ang kanyang reputasyon at negosyo, nag-alok si Alexander ng isang contract marriage kay Elena. Dahil sa problema ng kanyang pamilya, napilitan siyang tanggapin ang kasunduang iyon. Habang nakatira sila sa iisang bubong at nagpapanggap na masayang mag-asawa sa harap ng publiko, unti-unting lumalabo ang linya sa pagitan ng pagpapanggap at tunay na damdamin. Ipinakita ni Alexander ang isang side na walang ibang nakakakita—protective, intense, at possessive—habang si Elena ay unti-unting nahuhulog sa lalaking hindi niya dapat mahalin. Ngunit ang kanilang marupok na relasyon ay nanganganib nang bumalik si Veronica Alcantara, ang mapanganib na ex-girlfriend ni Alexander na determinadong sirain ang kanilang kasal. Sa gitna ng mga lihim, iskandalo, at matinding emosyon, kailangang piliin ni Elena kung lalayo ba siya… o ipaglalaban ang pag-ibig na nagsimula lamang bilang isang kontrata.

"I, Zade Matthews, Alpha of the High-claw pack, reject you, Sierra Whitmore, to be my mate and Luna to my pack. You are to work here and obey every command and to accept my rejection" Nobody wants to hear the word rejection. Especially when you're not even strong enough to handle the aftermath of it. At 18, I had just got my wolf, Mina. I was not supposed to mate with an Alpha. I'm an Omega living an Omega life. But the moon-goddess had other ideas, and I was mated to the cruellest of Alphas there is. I'm what they would call a slave to the pack. In other words. I was dispensable if they didn't want or need me. So, when I was invited for breakfast with the Alpha, my mate, I should have taken that as my first red flag. I have never eaten with them. Even when my parents were alive. 6 Years later, just after my 24th birthday, the mate-less Gala was just around the corner once again, and I was tired. Emotionally and physically tired. I had nothing to live for. I had nothing to hope for. Every Omega knows they don't get a second chance at love and every omega had to accept that. That was simply our fate. So, being assigned to accommodate Alpha Nikolai's room was not one of my top things to enjoy, but here I was. Five minutes was all I wanted to have to myself when cleaning the room on the very top floor for the Alpha of all Alphas, so I stopped and sat down to rest my aching body. And cried. Only...the scent of all scents hits me. His scent. Alpha Nikolai Anderson. He doesn't know me, but he chooses to love me. He chooses me.

“I, Alpha Arthur Grant, reject you, Phineas Wells. You were never my mate; you were just a placeholder for a King.” The words didn't just break Phineas’s heart; they shattered his soul. Standing in the center of the pack gala, clutching a hidden sonogram in his pocket, Phineas watched as his husband of three years handed him divorce papers in front of the very people he had served, healed, and protected. Behind Arthur stood Phineas’s own younger brother, Clement, wearing a smug smile of betrayal. They didn't just want Phineas gone—they wanted him erased. Thrown into the freezing rain of the Dead Lands, pregnant and broken, Phineas expects to die. Instead, he finds a nightmare far more seductive. Enter Lucian Aurelius. A Mafia Kingpin with a wolf of pure shadow and a heart of ice. He doesn’t offer Phineas love; he offers a cage of gold and a contract written in blood. Lucian is the ultimate Black Flag—possessive, obsessive, and dangerous. He monitors Phineas’s heartbeat, tracks his every breath, and whispers terrifying promises of protection that feel exactly like imprisonment. But as Phineas’s life is reduced to a "Scattered and Shattered" mess, the "Sunshine" Omega dies, and something colder is born in the dark. While Arthur’s pack begins to crumble and Lucian’s obsession turns into a lethal addiction, Phineas stops crying. He begins to watch. He begins to learn. He realizes that a monster’s greatest weakness is the thing he claims to own. In a world of fated mates and brutal betrayals, Phineas will play the "Helpless Omega" one last time. He will make them crawl. He will make them bleed. And when the smoke clears, the two Alphas who broke him will realize the terrifying truth:

Xalara Silvyn, a seemingly powerless girl from the Shadowveil slums, is claimed as a fated mate by Cassian Holt, heir to a powerful noble house of ember magic. After being brought to his estate, she discovers their bond was merely Cassian's temporary fascination. At his engagement gala to Vionna Kress, he publicly betrays Xalara, relegating her to servitude under his cruel fiancée. As Vionna systematically humiliates Xalara, the crystal pendant Xalara found in a hidden chamber beneath the Veil becomes her sole comfort. With help from Cassian's brother Verin, she learns the crystal may connect to House Silvyn—a noble family of essence-based primal magic supposedly destroyed centuries ago. When Vionna arranges to transfer Xalara for potentially fatal bond severance after her wedding to Cassian, Xalara's desperate situation takes an unexpected turn. During the wedding feast, she encounters Lord Elaric Nox, a feared shadow magic tyrant avoiding political marriage proposals. After overhearing his frustrations with traditional arrangements, Xalara's impulsive quip "Where do I sign?" intrigues him. Elaric's emissaries arrive at the wedding with a formal offer—a contract marriage of mutual benefit. Elaric gains a shield against political marriage pressure while offering Xalara protection from Vionna and access to knowledge about her crystal and heritage. Their three-year contract specifies a purely practical arrangement with no emotional obligations. At House Nox, Xalara begins training in essence magic under Elaric's guidance, discovering her "minor" warming ability is actually rare primal magic thought extinct. As she awakens to her true abilities and learns about her possible connection to House Silvyn, the bond with Cassian naturally fades. Meanwhile, a complex but respectful dynamic develops between Xalara and Elaric as they navigate their unconventional arrangement.
