Keep A Low Profile Sect Leader

To keep my mother safe, I bind myself to the strongest pack in the region. My new home comes with three stepbrothers I never asked for: the Triplet Alphas. Untouchable. Cruel. From day one, they make me their target, taunting me in the halls of Silver Creek Academy, reminding me I’m nothing but a charity case in their world. I survive by building walls around my heart. Until the devastating truth shatters everything: they aren’t just my tormentors. They are my fated mates. Theron, the wild one, now hunts me with a hunger that terrifies me. Lysander, the quiet storm, watches like I’m his next obsession. And Cassian, the eldest, the leader refuses to even look my way. Two want to claim me. One wants to break me. But fate doesn’t care what any of us want. When secrets buried beneath Blackwood Manor begin to surface, I realize the danger was never just in their cruelty. It’s in the bond that could destroy us all, and in the truth of what I really am.

In a world full of werewolves and vampires, a huge power struggle is threatening to take over. At the centre of it all is the Ring and Journal of Lythian, said to have the key to ultimate control. Audrey, rejected mate of the Alpha's son and a reborn Ashtarah, and Leo, leader of a vampire resistance cult called the Shadows, are both trying to get their hands on the artifacts to further their evil ambitions and cause chaos. But against all odds, Adrian and Lily, the "chosen one", have found each other and their special powers may be the key that tips the balance in the fight. As Audrey's plans become more dangerous, secrets are revealed and it's up to Lily to use the Ring and Journal to figure out how to stop her. With the help of her friends Sarah, Theo and Tyler, she goes on a dangerous mission to uncover the truth and save the realm. Will Lily be able to decide between her love for Adrian and her commitment to her pack? Or will she have to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to keep the person she loves safe? "Forbidden Mate" is a story of love, sacrifice and the ultimate fight between good and evil - where the decisions of a few can decide the fate of many.

I was at the grocery store stocking up on holiday supplies when my phone suddenly pinged with a friend request. The profile picture was a scenic shot I'd casually snapped years ago, and I knew right away who it was. But we hadn't spoken in five years—total radio silence. I had no idea why Marcello Golden was popping up now, so I typed into the verification field: [What's going on?] His reply flashed up almost instantly: [I'm back. Can we meet? I have something important to tell you in person.] Something important? As I stared at those words, I found the situation both absurd and amusing. What could be so important between us after all this time? I pushed the thought aside, pulled out my phone to scan the payment code for the cashier, and once the transaction was complete, my first action was to block his contact permanently.

Jocelyn 'Jo' Turner is the leader of a street gang called the Sky Hawks. She has one secret; she uses her gang to actually help the community.She is filled with nothing but disdain for other gangs who terrorize the community of Odton.That is, all except for Asher 'Ash' Mason, a hot, charismatic gang leader who is too hot for his own good.

“I have failed you as a mate and as your leader, Anna.” He cried out in pain, his wolf restlessly wailing, reaching the surface, and running back once realizing that nothing had changed. “But this worthless husband of yours swear by this day to avenge your death in the most brutal way possible. And after that, I’ll come meet you wherever you may be.” ~ After brutally losing his mate in a planned rogue attack, Hunter, the Alpha, and controller of one of the most powerful Packs in all of the East and West becomes the terror he promised the corpse of his late mate to be. Things keep going as planned and he is very close to attaining the werewolf king position that would enable him wipe out everyone that contributed to his mate’s death, when by the engineering of the Moon Goddess, he meets orphaned and abused Annable who is surprisingly the exact replica of his late mate, the worse fact is that she is in love with someone else. Now, his well-calculated plan is suddenly bundled with uncertainty, jealousy, a love triangle, and the desire to live and love.

Unaware of werewolves living among humans, Joanna has no idea that the intense and immediate attraction she feels toward the charming stranger at her fiancé's business meeting is actually a mate bond. Overpowered by the irresistible pull, she gives in to the overwhelming sensation and momentarily forgets about Clyde Mancini, heir to an influential Italian property empire. Feeling ashamed of her low self-esteem, she runs away from the stranger’s bed, only to discover weeks later that she is pregnant from the one-night stand. The Mancini family is thrilled about welcoming their new heir but chooses to overlook the baby's unusual behavior. The enraged Alpha initiates a search party to find his Luna, and when he ultimately finds Joanna, he abducts and forces her to become more involved with his pack and fulfill her duties. Joanna's primary concern is escaping from these unfamiliar beings so she can reunite with her husband, knowing that he is relentlessly searching for her. She anxiously tries to hide her son from the Alpha, the boy being his most powerful leverage to keep her with him. Eventually, the Moon Goddess intervenes, and Abel is convinced he has eliminated Clyde... so he thinks …

"You wanted me to fail," she yelled, her voice shaking with rage and desperation. "You wanted me to prove you right." "No." My voice was a low, feral growl. "I wanted to know if you'd stand your ground. And you did." You stood your ground, held my life in your hand, and chose to keep it breathing. That was all I needed to see. Her defiance was a thin wall, her trembling betraying her. "This doesn't make me yours." I leaned in, my lips a hair's breadth from hers. The scent of her… of wood smoke and sweat, and something wild and unmistakably Lyra… filled my senses. "You already are," I whispered against her lips. "Even in your hate." *************************************** Lyra, the last warrior-heir of Ravengarde, detests Kael, the cruel enemy alpha who murdered her family, burned her castle, and claimed her as his ruthless spoils. Imprisoned in his domineering Shadowfen Keep, her rage is a burning blaze, battling the forbidden, wild linkage that brings her closer with each bitter glance and each jealous touch. She promises to kill him, break free from his shadow magic, even as his control ignites a deadly, forbidden desire in her. But when Lyra learns the horrible truth… that the betrayal that had destroyed her clan was not schemed by Kael, but by her own ruthless bloodline in a lust for power… her world shatters. Every sadistic phrase, every brutal touch she endured under Kael's command now bears an abject truth: the enemy that she had sworn to kill was, in reality, protecting her, and is now very likely the only one who can save her from a much darker fate than his claim.

After I started working at the zoo, I was added to a group chat called “A Hundred Ways to Kill a Human.” Every member had an animal as their profile picture. At first, I thought it was some quirky staff group. I even found it kind of cute. That was, until I realized they were discussing how to eat me. Pedro the Parrot: [The new human has beautiful eyes. I can’t wait till Christmas. I want to peck them out right now!] George the Gorilla: [Relax. There’ll be many visitors during Christmas. We’ll have more eyeballs than we can eat! Also, I’m calling dibs on her thigh.] Thor the Tiger: [Nobody’s taking her head, right? That’s mine.] Tucker the Elephant: [I’m a vegetarian, but I can crush her bones to dust.]

On my birthday, my husband of five years accompanied his childhood sweetheart to celebrate her dog's birthday. Avery Simpson published a loving post: [The happiest baby in the world. Mom and Dad will be with you. I hope you're always happy.] Seeing the words "Mom and Dad", I commented a question mark with confusion. The next moment, I found myself blocked. Charles Logan called me and lashed out at me. "Why do you always have to mess things up at the worse possible time? You're worse than a dog. How despicable!" Shortly after, Avery changed her profile picture to one of her and Charles, hands intertwined. When I saw the obvious provocation, I didn't get angry like before. That's because I had already made up my mind to get a divorce.
