John Lloyd Cruz Lock

The Draghi Brothers Feared, Revered. Monsters. Those were the words papa had always used to describe them. Worthless, useless, good for nothing-those had been reserved for me. After my little stunt at 16, my papa had made sure I was under lock and key. He knew how to manipulate me, spin his lies and I had no say in whatever he did. When he informed me about my marriage to the second son of the Donovan Family, I knew I had no choice. After all, he was my father. Most girls in our family including my sisters had already been married. I stood at the aisle, looking into the eyes of my husband to be, my mind detached. Just before I could say I do, brain matter splattered on my face, his empty eyes staring at me. The culprits— The brothers I had heard so much about. The brothers that marked me when I was 16. In the heat of the struggle, I found myself tied and captured by them—a price for my family's survival. I knew my father would come save me. Yet, I couldn't help but surrender to the sin they showed me daily. I have a choice to make. A captured bride or a willing slave.

"Your father is the reason for my mother's suffering, her death." His red-speckled eyes were bright with fury as the tears streamed down her face. He leaned closer, "But somehow, even still, I'd rather die than give you up." •• She was without a wolf. He was born damned with one. Their bond was never meant to exist. Zorina Edgemont, the daughter of a very strict Alpha, has lived her life shadowed by shame. Her wolf never emerged, she had never been able to successfully shift, and the world branded her broken. When her father forces her into a marriage with a power-hungry brat, she makes a desperate escape, only to land herself in forbidden territory, a place where monsters hunt and no one ever comes back to relay the tales. She nearly doesn't. Until he finds her. Lux Argevent is everything she should withhold from, he is half-demon, half-werewolf, and wholly dangerous. He is a rogue, a supposed myth, and a threat. But when their eyes lock, everything changes. Now hunted by her own father and tangled in a bloodline war deeper than either of them envisaged, Zorina stands ready to be ruined by his passion.

Camila Ashford was just a human girl with a scholarship to Lunaris Academy, a prestigious school hidden among wolves. Despite their differences, she fell for Sebastian Cruz, a proud and powerful wolf, and when he proposed… she said yes without a second thought. For the first time, she felt truly seen, truly loved. But the day of their wedding became the day her world shattered. In the middle of the sacred ritual, Sebastian abandoned her to save his best friend, Liliana Hayes, promising he would return before the moon rose. He never came back. In the world of wolves, the marriage ritual is sacred. If one mate refuses the union, the other suffers an indescribable pain—and eventually, a hopeless death. Alone, heartbroken, and facing her end, Camila pleaded to the moon for one last chance. And the moon answered. A man appeared before her, claiming her as his mate: Dominic Valente, the Lycan King, the most powerful wolf in existence. With unmatched strength, dominance, and a desire that cannot be denied, he gives Camila a choice: accept him… or surrender to a fate worse than death
