Joker As The Red Hood Novels & Stories

Nora Ashford thought she was giving a desperate couple the gift of life. Instead, she became a pawn in a cruel game. Contracted as a surrogate for billionaire CEO Marcus Wolfe and his fiancée Jade Rivers…. Nora's former best friend…. she endures nine months of isolation, control, and cold indifference. But when she gives birth, Marcus rips the baby from her arms and discards her like trash, invoking a contract clause she never saw coming: zero custody, zero rights, zero compensation beyond medical costs. Broken and alone, Nora discovers the devastating truth…. Jade was never infertile. The surrogacy was a lie to avoid "ruining her body." Worse, Marcus isn't just ruthless; he's the man who had her father killed five years ago to steal his groundbreaking tech company. Enter Elias Moretti… a dangerous nightclub owner with mafia ties and a smile that promises violence. He saves Nora from rock bottom and offers her something irresistible: revenge. He'll help her destroy Marcus and reclaim her daughter. But Elias has secrets of his own. He orchestrated their meeting. He's been watching her for years. And the baby Nora carried? The fertility clinic switched the sample. Elias is the biological father. Caught between two ruthless men…. one who discarded her, one who's obsessed with her…. Nora must become the player instead of the pawn. As Marcus realizes what he's lost and begins a terrifying pursuit to win her back, and Elias's true motives unravel, Nora faces an impossible choice: revenge or redemption, safety or passion, the monster she knows or the devil she's falling for. In a world where everyone has an agenda, Nora must fight for her daughter, her identity, and her survival.

Cass is an angry soul. How could she be anything else after a lifetime of rejection, punishment, and being treated as the pack’s unwanted runt? Even her fated mate—the one the Moon Goddess chose for her—sees her as nothing but a burden. A mistake. A humiliation. If the man destined to love her only wants to break her… then someone else will gladly claim what he threw away. A stranger—scarred, dangerous, and drawn to her fire—sees what no one else ever has. He sees her strength. He sees her worth. He sees the power she doesn’t yet understand. And he will stop at nothing to have her. But Cass carries a secret even she doesn’t know: the blood of a madman, the legacy of a feared Alpha, and a power capable of bending wolves to their knees. As her hidden strength awakens and the truth of her lineage rises, Cass must choose who she will become—the broken omega they tried to make her… or the Alpha she was born to be.

At two in the morning, when the pack elders' urgent summons came, I had just crawled out from beneath my childhood sweetheart, the Alpha heir Slade. My body was still aching from his rough possession. As the only human healer in the entire Blackwood Pack, I was ordered to prepare herbs as a gift for Slade's marriage alliance with the Thorne Pack. I gently lifted Slade's arm from where it was wrapped around me. After a night of passion, his powerful Alpha body was still radiating a feverish heat. I assumed this was just another wolf princess he needed to turn away, so I poked his chest playfully and asked with a smile, "Slade, what excuse are you going to use the 99th time? That you've suddenly developed an allergy to the princess?" He rolled over and kissed my forehead, his eyes heavy with sleep. "My sweet girl, this time the herbs must be prepared by you, and you alone. The success of this alliance rests on your shoulders." I froze. For the past ten years, I had been his secret solace, the one who soothed his violent rages every night. I thought I would earn a formal bonding ceremony, sooner or later. But in that moment, I understood. I was just a convenience, a body for him to use. If that was all I was to him, then I would burn everything we had to the ground. I made a call to my old mentor at the National Institute of Medicine, Professor Sterling. "Professor, that research position regarding gene... is it still open? I'm ready to return to the human world." But when that arrogant Alpha, who claimed we were 'just friends' and 'strictly professional,' discovered he could no longer catch even a faint scent of me in the air, he completely lost his mind.

"Sign the contract. Produce an heir. And never question what happens in the dark." Cora Belmont was not supposed to be here. Her sister was the one meant to marry Roman Falcone — East Coast crime boss, untouchable, allegedly monstrous. Her family didn't give Cora a choice. They gave her a sedative. She woke up in silk sheets, with a contract on the pillow and a pen placed precisely against her lips. Sign it, or your family loses more than you. So Cora signs. She signs away her body, her autonomy, and any illusion she had about what marriage means in a world of men who treat women like ledger entries. What she doesn't sign away is her mind. And her mind begins keeping records. Because her husband is impossible. Some nights he is Roman Falcone — cold, brutal, exacting, who takes what he wants and leaves without a word. Other nights, someone comes to her bedroom who touches her like she is the only precious thing in a world of violence. Who whispers her name like a prayer. Who smells of sandalwood instead of gunsmoke. Cora tells herself she's losing her mind. She sets a camera. She watches the footage. And then a thunderstorm lights up the sky outside her window — and she sees both of them. Roman in the doorway, gun in hand, reeking of fresh blood. And Rocco Falcone — The Shadow, the ghost who was never supposed to exist — still in her bed. They are twins. They are equally dangerous. They are both completely obsessed with her. And when Cora tries to run, she discovers that one Falcone is impossible to escape. Two Falcones simply don't accept the concept of escape at all. The wrong vow was just the beginning.

And when I collapsed in a filthy airport restroom, bleeding and barely conscious— He looked down at me with pure hatred. “Serena, this is what you owe her.” “If you hadn’t interfered back then, Ella would still be alive.” “Today, you and your bastard child will pay for her and her baby.” When I opened my eyes again, I was back on that flight. Watching him berate the plainly dressed woman, I quietly put on my noise-canceling headphones. He didn’t know that woman was the beloved wife of the most dangerous mafia Don in the city.
