James Cagney The Public Enemy

I'm hospitalized after a car accident that nearly costs me my leg. Meanwhile, my fiancé is too busy in the room next door taking care of his first love. She's only faking a sprained ankle. From that same room, I hear Johan Rivera's mocking voice. "Raelyn? She's just a pawn the old man picked for a political marriage. She's not even good enough to be your stand-in." In that moment, something in me finally breaks. I watch the news coverage of a rising business star who's surrounded by reporters and flashing cameras. He's also my childhood friend who has pursued me for ten years. I calmly send him a message. "Christian, does your offer for a contract marriage still stand?"

“He’s the Alpha I was sent to destroy. But he’s also the one who marked me.” Kai is a rogue Omega hiding a dangerous secret. He’s been trained to take down Alpha Lucian Duskbane the cold, powerful heir of the Blackclaw Pack by getting close enough to uncover his weaknesses. But nothing goes according to plan. One mistake. One touch. One bite behind a locked door... And now Kai is bound by a forbidden mark that should never exist. Lucian is promised to another. His future is already written. But ever since he tasted Kai’s scent, his wolf won’t rest. He’s losing control at the office, at the packhouse, and in front of the Council. As their bond deepens, secrets rise to the surface lies, betrayal, hidden heat... and a war that could tear the packs apart. When the truth finally comes out, Lucian must choose: Obey the laws of the Council. Or follow the pull of a bond that could cost him everything.

When fate binds a gentle Thornshade healer to the ruthless Alpha of Ironfang, love becomes the cruelest battle of all. Elara Everstorm fled Ironfang with more than just heartbreak—she fled with the Alpha's heir. For two years, she hid in the shadows of Thornshade, raising her son in silence while Draven—a merciles Alpha who rejected their bond, tore through kingdoms searching for her. But one can't outrun destiny. When Draven descends upon Thornshade demanding peace—or blood—Elara is forced to face him again, their secret child in her arms... unmistakably his. Old wounds ignite. Desire burns hotter than vengeance. But, an ancient evil from the past rises, and hunts their child. In order to save their son, they must confront the truth they both denied: that love may be the only power left to save them. Two sworn enemies must fight side by side for the future of their world, and for the son who carries both their blood.

But for Alpha Randall, I would have been married to Winston, Prince of the Riverton Pack, strengthening the bond between our Packs. But I chose to elope with him, my fated mate, the man I had prayed to the Moon Goddess for. Together, we went to his Pack for our fairy tale ending, the kind of love that has its story told for centuries. But life always has different plans… “I, Alpha Randall, reject you, Lyra, as my fated mate.” Betrayed, Rejected, and locked up in his Pack, my entire world shattered before my eyes, the consequences of my actions weighing down on my shoulders. But what am I to do when the ghosts of my past return? Will there ever be a second chance?

"It's time to consummate our Marriage" Roman said as he walked inside the room. "I am not interested" I said with fear as I stood up from his couch. "And why are you not interested?' he asked. "I am only giving my body to the man I love" I said curtly. "Really? We are married come on, I need to be inside my wife now" He said as he moved closer to me. "This room is not only decorated for decorating sake. It means something" he said as he got before me. "Come on, wifey, corporate tonight or else you will see the worst of me." He said on the bed as he clapped his hands, the door opened and men came in with boxes. They placed the boxes on the floor and went out. I looked at them with curiosity. "Irina, Have you ever heard of BDSM?" He asked. This is the first time he will call my name. But what's BDSM? He opened the boxes bringing out the items there. "No, what's the meaning?" I asked him with curiosity. "And what are you doing with ropes and wipes?" I asked again. "Have you ever even had ?" He asked angrily. I was quiet for sometime for sometimes, feeling shy. "No" I said hesitantly. "Your stupid father caged you your whole life, that's so stupid of him. We don't kill woman here, we only deal with men. He should have let you out" he said. "Don't ask me any questions again, your innocent is annoying, I promise. I hate naive girls"he scoffed. "Get on the bed" he commanded. "What?" I asked. "Get on the freaking bed, don't force me to help you in getting on the bed, "

“We shouldn’t be doing this,” Imani whispered, her voice trembling more from want than from fear of her brother barging in and catching her leaning in to kiss his ex-best-friend now turned enemy. “Then stop me,” he murmured back, his fingers brushing her jaw, his breath hot against her skin. But neither of them moved. The distance between them had already disappeared, along with every rule she’d promised not to break. *** When Imani Grayson, a quiet psychology major, is assigned to mentor the university’s star hockey captain, Nicolas Jameson, she expects arrogance not the kind of chemistry that keeps her up at night. What begins as a simple assignment spirals into late-night tutoring sessions, stolen glances, and kisses that blur every boundary she’s ever set. But with jealous teammates watching, old wounds resurfacing, and a love too intense to hide, the game they started might be the one that shatters them both. Imani will soon learn that some games can’t be won without losing everything, and Nicolas, that even in the game of hearts, the strongest player can fall to his knees.

"Love was never part of the equation, sunshine," he whispered, his words a cold blade to my heart, shattering the fragile hope I'd clung to. Rory's life was reduced to ashes the day she discovered her wolf was a myth, a cruel fate that severed her connection to the world she once knew. No bonding, no mating, no purpose. But fate has other plans. As her father's pawn in a game of power, she's traded from one nightmare to another. Yet, her new captor, Orion, might not be the monster she expects. Driven by vengeance and a desperate bid to reclaim his pack, Orion's arranged to marry the enemy's daughter, intent on breaking her spirit as his own was shattered. But as the lines between love and hate blur, he'll face an impossible choice: sacrifice his pack or surrender to his forbidden desire. When darkness meets sunshine, will it be a salvation or a cruel fate awaiting?

He killed my brother. I swore I’d make him pay. But now I’m trapped in his penthouse... and I think I’m falling for him. As the youngest son of the Romano mafia, Luca swore vengeance on the man who killed his brother—Damian Moretti, the cold, ruthless billionaire don of the rival Moretti family. But when a failed assassination attempt leaves Luca at Damian’s mercy, he’s not tortured. He’s... kept. And he says Luca belongs to him now.

Even though their worlds were completely different, he was just an ordinary human and she was born a she-Alpha, Ella sacrificed everything for the man she thought loved her. She left it all behind: her pack, her title, her destiny. 
For six years, she lived as his secret wife, breaking every rule for his rise to fame. Then it all came crashing down the night he announced someone else as the love of his life. 
Humiliated, shattered, her mind spiraled through everything she had abandoned for him. He called her weak. So she went back. One cold deal with her father: reclaim her rightful place… in exchange for marrying his rival’s son, betraying his pack, and destroying it from the inside. One broken heart. A ruthless, solid revenge plan. Two powerful hearts now pitted against each other. Who wins the fight?
