Marcus Lopez

Akira, daughter of fruit vendors, was living happily with her family in Ehtrehto Edis. A world far from the human world. Her family got killed by the Aquans, headed by the cruel general of Aqua Edis. She was able to escape but she was chased by his men. Marcus, the son of Aqua Edis King, helped her to escape to the human world where Martin and Margarette adopted her and allowed her to use their lost daughter's identity. She was then known as Adele Brown. When they died, she was left alone in their house. Her life is set to one ultimate goal. That is, finding the real Adele as Martin's last wish. Akira happened to help a woman from wicked men. It's Catherine whom she later became friends with. One incident leads her to suspect that Catherine is the real Adele. That same day, the nightmares from her fast flipped backward. She crossed paths with some Ehtrehtians, who together with his long been friend, Hunter, persuaded her to flee back to Ehtrehto Edis. Akira's identity was then revealed. She's Lady Amara, one of the four Guardians of Lights and the last immortal. She was faced with many battles when she came back to her world. The Aquan king is determined to kill her and even sent an assassin to kill her. In Manhakan, a village where people who do not surrender their loyalty to any of the four empires of Ehtrehto Edis live, she had a face-to-face encounter with General Thud, the one who headed in the killing of her known family. Just when they were about to be defeated, Hunter, Ignis Hella Knights, and her biological father King Suxx came. Will they be able to save their world? Is Catherine the real Adele as she suspected?

Ever since I lost my Alpha, Kael, in a brutal fight with some nasty rogues, I've been raising our young son, Finn, all by myself. My old pack has been pushing me to take a new Alpha, you know, so Finn and I would have protection. But I truly believed my Mate Bond with Kael was unbreakable. Then, on the Blood Moon ceremony, the fifth anniversary of Kael's “sacrifice,” I overheard Kael's father, old Alpha Marcus, tearing into Kael's quiet twin brother, Ronan: “Kael! You damn wolf! It was Ronan who went down on Blood Moon Cliff five years ago! He was the cursed one! You faked your death, lived as Ronan, all to protect Alina? You lied to the whole pack, to your sacred mate, and your own flesh and blood! Was it worth it?!” “For five years, Elara has raised Finn from a tiny pup all alone. You gave your so-called 'niece' a fake 'father,' but did you ever think? The day you put on Ronan's mask, Finn lost his real father for good!” I felt like I'd been struck by lightning. After Kael “died,” Ronan had been the dutiful uncle, “looking after” Finn and me. I never dreamed he was Kael in disguise. And he did all this just to protect Alina, Ronan's destined mate, who was already pregnant?! That night, under the bright moon, I snuck away and sent a message to my cousin, the Head Beta of the Silver-Moon Pack: “Tell your Alpha Lucian that I, Elara, accept his courtship offer.”

The Shadow Knight is a dark fantasy novel that follows the transformation of Kaelen Dawnblade, a once honourable knight whose world is shattered when the corrupt religious Council falsely accuses his family of heresy. The story begins with Kaelen serving faithfully as a Knight-Captain in the Holy Citadel of Light. His perfect life crumbles when he's summoned to the capital, where the High Council, led by Grand Inquisitor Matthias, fabricates charges of shadow cult involvement against House Dawnblade. Despite Kaelen's protests, his family is systematically destroyed. His father executed, his sister Lyanna tortured, and his young nephew Marcus killed during "questioning." After escaping imprisonment, Kaelen discovers the true nature of the Council's corruption: they've been eliminating eastern lords who questioned their increasing taxes and power. Consumed by rage and betrayal, Kaelen encounters a mysterious merchant who guides him to the Soulstone, an ancient artifact of darkness. Through brutal trials that strip away his humanity piece by piece, he transforms into the Shadow Knight, a being of darkness with extraordinary powers. As the Shadow Knight, Kaelen begins a calculated campaign of vengeance against the Council, gathering allies among the oppressed. He discovers his new abilities allow him to destroy and heal, creating an unexpected inner conflict. Throughout his journey, he struggles with what remains of his humanity, ultimately choosing to retain his sense of justice rather than becoming a mindless force of destruction. The novel explores themes of corruption, vengeance, transformation, and the thin line between justice and revenge. As Kaelen evolves from righteous knight to shadow wielding avenger, the story questions whether one can fight monsters without becoming a monster oneself.

Eu sou Isa Borgia, filha do Don mais poderoso de Corvina. Meu pai teme que eu me case com o homem errado por impulso, então ele arranja meu noivado com Luca, o herdeiro ascendente da família Marino. É um casamento arranjado, mas isso não significa que eu perdi toda a minha voz. No mínimo, eu posso escolher um anel de que eu realmente goste. Então, eu vou ao leilão da máfia. Quando o anel de diamante aparece como a joia final da noite, eu levanto minha placa. Pouco antes de o martelo bater, uma voz arrogante soa atrás de mim. — Uma caipira como você acha que pode competir comigo? Faça um favor a si mesma e vá embora. O salão de leilões fica silencioso por alguns segundos. O único som vem dos cliques das câmeras ao redor da sala. Eu me viro e vejo uma mulher em um vestido couture dourado. Sua boca se curva em um sorriso casual, como se fosse dona do lugar. Antes que eu possa dizer uma palavra, o leiloeiro se apressa em encerrar o lance. — Vendido! Parabéns à senhora Sofia Lopez por vencer o último lote, a Estrela Eterna! Minhas sobrancelhas se franzem, e uma onda quente de raiva sobe pelo meu peito. — Você encerrou o lance cedo demais! Vocês seguem alguma regra aqui? Sofia se vira e me dá um olhar de cima a baixo, seu olhar afiado como uma lâmina. — Regras? — Ela solta uma risada fria. — Qual é. Eu sou a irmã de consideração favorita do Luca Marino. Aqui, eu faço as regras! Eu não consigo evitar rir. Que coincidência. Então, ela é a irmã de consideração do meu noivo. Eu pego meu celular e ligo para ele. — Luca, a sua irmã de consideração acabou de arrancar o anel de noivado que eu escolhi. Como você pretende resolver isso?

Giorgo era o Don da família Romero Ele foi emboscado por um lunático suicida que tinha bombas presas ao próprio corpo. Naquele momento, meu marido, Fábio Lopez, já havia levado seus homens para um desfile de moda ao lado de seu primeiro amor, Reina Digiorno, com a intenção de protegê-la durante o evento. Em vez de apertar o botão de sinal no anel que eu usava, eu me lancei contra Giorgo, mesmo estando com a gravidez bastante avançada. Foi assim que consegui usar meu próprio corpo para protegê-lo da explosão. Na minha vida anterior, eu havia apertado o botão. Fábio abandonou Reina às pressas e foi correndo ao local do atentado para salvar a vida de Giorgo. Graças a essa contribuição, ele foi promovido ao cargo de sottocapo. Mas Reina enlouqueceu de raiva por Fábio tê-la deixado antes do fim do evento. Movida apenas pelo ressentimento, ela atravessou a rodovia de forma imprudente e acabou sendo atropelada, morrendo no local. Embora Fábio não tivesse dito uma única palavra, ele escolheu me enviar para uma casa de leilões subterrânea exatamente no dia em que eu entrei em trabalho de parto. — O Don tinha vários soldados para protegê-lo! Por que você me obrigou a voltar naquele momento? — Ele me encarou com frieza, e sua voz estava carregada de desprezo. — Não foi só porque você queria a glória de ser a esposa do sottocapo? Se não fosse por você, Reina não teria morrido! — Ele continuou, sem qualquer piedade, os olhos cheios de ódio. — Você vai sofrer mil vezes mais do que ela sofreu! Eu só pude assistir enquanto os convidados faziam lances, um por um, pelos meus órgãos. Nem mesmo o cordão umbilical do meu recém-nascido foi poupado do leilão. No fim, eu morri de uma infecção causada durante a remoção dos meus órgãos. Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu já havia retornado ao dia em que Giorgo foi emboscado.

Shantali Jackson awakens from cryostasis to discover she's been asleep for over 600 years. A working-class woman from the pre-collapse era, she finds herself in a sterile medical facility, where staff address her as royalty and claim she's the beloved of Prince Costa—a man she barely remembers meeting at Le Glow Club one fateful night. As fragmented memories surface, Shantali learns the devastating truth: she and Costa were never willing participants in the preservation program. After publicly defying their arranged marriages to choose each other, they were declared enemies of the state and forcibly preserved by the Emergency Preservation Committee. They've been awakened seventeen times for six centuries, only to have their memories wiped when they refused to comply with the Council's genetic breeding program. This time is different—the memory suppression technology is failing, and ghostly echowisps (manifestations of psychic trauma) guide them through their escape. With the help of Marcus, a resistance member, they flee to the underground networks where Shantali discovers shocking truths: her half-brother Elliot became a resistance leader, Costa's parents have been working to undermine the Council for centuries, and the outside world has been habitable for generations. The couple escapes to Haven's Gate, one of seven thriving Eastern Sanctuaries where humanity has rebuilt naturally. But freedom is short-lived when they learn Dr. Thorne and other preservation specialists are using extracted consciousness data to create a new form of control—artificial minds programmed for obedience. Refusing to remain passive victims, Shantali and Costa make a bold choice: they'll pose as desperate refugees seeking re-preservation, walking willingly into Dr. Thorne's trap to stop his plans once and for all. Their love story becomes humanity's last hope against a system that would sacrifice free will for genetic perfection. A tale of choice, resistance, and the power of love.

When seventeen-year-old Willow Hayes moves into the remote Thorne mansion with her mother's new husband, she expects awkwardness - not a supernatural war for survival. Her stepbrother, Kael Thorne, is the arrogant king of Crestwood High and heir to a secret werewolf Pack. But when their eyes meet, an ancient Mate Bond snaps into place, marking Willow as the one person who can prevent Kael from succumbing to the deadly Feral Shift - a state of uncontrolled rage that means death. The problem? Kael's father, Alpha Marcus Thorne, sees Willow's humanity as a fatal weakness that endangers the entire Pack. His rival, the brutal Darek Ironfang, sees her as the perfect weapon to destroy Kael's claim to leadership. And Sierra, Kael's scorned ex-girlfriend, will stop at nothing to expose their forbidden connection. Caught between werewolf politics and deadly Pack law, Willow must transform from invisible high school student to strategic mastermind. As Kael faces three brutal Trials to claim the Alpha title - the Blood Hunt, the Leadership Rite, and the Ritual of Dominance - Willow becomes his secret weapon: the Obsidian Anchor, using their psychic bond to control his Feral instincts from afar. But the bond demands a terrible price. Each time Willow stabilizes Kael's wolf, she risks fragmenting her own mind. When betrayal strikes from within and enemies attack from without, Willow must make an impossible choice: save herself, or save the wolf who has become her entire world. In a final, devastating confrontation, Kael faces the Feral Shift in front of the entire Pack. Only Willow's unprecedented psychic command - and her willingness to sacrifice everything - can pull him back from the brink. Together, they forge a revolutionary new law: the Alpha's power is incomplete without the Mate's wisdom.

Depuis six ans, je vivais secrètement amoureuse de Côme, mon demi-frère et Alpha de notre meute. Par une nuit de pleine lune, je me suis faufilée dans le siège de sa compagnie pour lui faire une surprise. Mais alors que j'approchais de son bureau, je les ai entendus, derrière la porte entrouverte : lui et Marcus, le Bêta de la tribu. « Tu traînes toujours avec cette demi-sœur, Aria ? Quand comptes-tu rompre ? Ne me dis pas que tu as des vrais sentiments pour elle. » Le rire froid de Côme m'a transpercé l'âme : « Des sentiments ? Elle n'est qu'une Bêta qui s'est jetée à moi. Une proie facile, tout simplement. Pourquoi me priver ? Ma Luna ne sera qu'Hélène. » « Son père a trahi la meute et a été banni. Sa mère a séduit le mien, causant la mort de ma propre mère. Ces six années… n'étaient qu'une punition. Elle mérite pleinement ce qui lui arrive. » Ainsi, le lien que je chérissais tant… n'avait toujours été qu'une vengeance minutieusement ourdie. Ces paroles douces, ces caresses tendres… tout n'était que MENSONGES imprégnés de venin. Si c'était le cas, je partirais. J'espérais seulement qu'il ne le regretterait pas !

I'm the only daughter of Marcus Nightbloom, the former Alpha King. I'm also the fated mate of Lucas Ashbourne, the new Alpha King. On the night before the coronation ceremony, I happily whip out the spirit stones that I've been saving up for the past three years, hoping to craft Lucas a new scepter. But I find an exile proposal with my name on it as well as a stack of close-up photos of the Rogues violating me in a hidden room of Lucas' study. His handwriting can be seen on the back of one of the photos. "She's defective, so she's not suitable to become the Luna Queen." I grab the photos and rush off to confront Lucas. But he merely toys with the crown meant for the Luna Queen. "Although you're my fated mate, you're still tainted, Elena. An Alpha King's mate must be perfect and flawless. You, on the other hand, reek of Rogues. Whenever I pick up your scent, I feel so nauseous that I want to puke. "If werewolves are scarred, those scars are their medals. But if she-wolves are tainted by other wolves, they are impure and deserve to be discarded." I find Lucas' logic very ridiculous. "I did that just so I could save your life five years ago!" Lucas merely chuckles icily in return. "I never asked for your help. Anyway, I will never mark a defective she-wolf who's tainted by other wolves." At the coronation ceremony the next day, Lucas showcases the evidence of me getting violated by the Rogues in front of the entire Kingdom. I never shed a tear at that moment. After all, Lucas has no idea that the she-wolf, whom he has just discarded like trash, has the bloodline that's capable of conquering all wolves flowing through her veins.
