“Ako ang nauna sa kanya sa buhay mo… Ako ang unang nagmahal sa ‘yo, Denmark. Hindi siya! Kaya akin ka na, noon pa man!” — Frances Alva Nang magdalagita si Frances Alva, alam na niya ang papel ni Denmark Mondragon sa buhay niya. Ang lalaking pakakasalan niya balang araw, ang magiging ama ng mga anak niya, ang lalaking nakalaan para sa kanya. Ngunit sa mata ni Denmark, isa lamang siyang kapatid ng kaibigan.

Isang iglap, isang pagkakamaling hindi sinasadya, naabutan sila ng kapatid sa iisang kama, at nauwi sa isang kasalang mali na sa simula pa lang… dahil may ibang mahal ang binata. Ngayon, nakatali na sila sa biglaang kasal. Kasalang walang pagmamahal at puno ng sakit dahil sa paraan ng pakikitungo nito. Magkakapuwang pa kaya siya sa puso ng binata? May pag-asa pa kaya siyang mahalin ni Denmark? O mauuwi lang ito sa pusong sugatan?

“Are you a virgin?” It should have embarrassed her. Instead, the raw restraint in his eyes made her heart tremble. “Yes,” she whispered. “But don’t stop. Please.” …. "I have only three conditions," he stated, his voice as cold as the diamond on her finger. "First, I can’t stand clingy women. Second, falling in love with me is strictly forbidden. And third? Whoever we choose to sleep with is our own business." … Three years ago, Ashley Barton made a bargain she could never truly win. To secure her freedom, she buried her true identity and lived as an omega, all to make Alpha Rowan fall in love with her for who she was. On the night they were meant to complete their mating, Ashley walked into hell. Her best friend was tangled in the sheets with the man who was supposed to claim her. Ashley ran. Under the full moon, raw with grief and desperation, fate found her anyway. In the wilderness, she collided with a powerful Alpha, dangerous, dominant, and unreadable. Pain blurred into desire. The bond snapped into place. He marked her. Claimed her. Bound their souls together in blood and moonlight. By dawn, he was gone. Just the echo of his presence and the weight of his mark burned into her skin left. She was humiliated and cast out like trash. That was when Ashley broke. She went home, bowed her head, and accepted the arranged marriage she had once sworn to escape. Fate, however, was unkind. Her fiancé was the very Alpha who had claimed and marked her, yet when they met again, he did not recognize her at all. To him, she was a stranger. Instead, he offered her a one-year contract marriage, cold, controlled, and bound by rules meant to suffocate emotion.

"Call me Alpha, little wolf" Damien snarled looking at the girl who just walked into his office. "One thing that you need to understand, me being your wife does not and will NEVER mean that you're my Alpha" Natalia snapped. *************** Being born a rogue, Natalia has always wished to be part of a pack, somewhere to belong and call home. But when both Damien and Natalia’s worlds collide, in what humans call marriage; both the mafia and wolf worlds are shaken.

At the Werewolf Hunting Contest, Lily Ashford secretly set me up and took the champion spot. That very night, a marking proposal arrived from the Alpha of Norfolk Pack, Leon Griffin. Leon would take the champion of this hunting contest as his Luna. My Alpha fiance, Edmund Brock, panicked on the spot. He immediately bit the back of Lily's neck and completed the marking. Lily swayed her hips and deliberately showed me the fresh bite mark. "Florence, I'm the champion. And now, your fiance is mine too." I smiled and turned to face the Alpha of Norfolk Pack. "If she won't marry you, I will." Later, the Alpha of Norfolk Pack, the werewolf rumored to be unable to mark anyone, bit down hard on my neck in front of everyone. He licked the blood from his lips and smirked in a celebratory manner. "Who said I can't mark anyone?" Meanwhile, my former fiance kneeled in the pouring rain and pleaded with me like a madman. "Florence, I've asked the Alpha King to dissolve the mate bond between Lily and me. I finally realized you're the one I've always loved."

“Beg, little mate. Let’s hear how sweet you sound when you’re desperate.” “She won’t beg for you. She’ll crawl to me, just like she should.” “Pathetic. Both of you. She already knows she belongs to me.” Dahlia thought her biggest problem was surviving college with her dignity intact. Blackridge Academy was brutal enough—where dominance and bloodlines meant everything. She already endured the cruel whispers, the “waste of tuition” insults, and a boyfriend who flirted with other girls while she clung to him, desperate not to lose the only affection she thought she had. But her quiet misery ended the night her cheating boyfriend breaks up with her. The searing pain across her chest was more than just fate. It was three mate marks. Knox Rivers — her brother’s best friend, the brilliant Alpha-to-be who can’t stand that his weak, bullied mate is her. Jace Blackmoor — the Lycan King’s golden son, cruel playboy, who laughs at the bond and swears he’ll break her until she kneels. Zayne Lachlan — the hybrid everyone fears, a dangerous artist with hands stained in rumors of blood, who stares at her like she’s his salvation…and his curse. Dahlia becomes the academy’s obsession, the girl with three marks who doesn’t deserve even one. Her boyfriend fears her. The other girls retreat from her. Everyone hates her. And yet… her three mates won’t let anyone else touch her. Not out of love. Out of possession. And possession comes with a price.

They were supposed to kill each other. But a mistake caused them to get tangled. And now the moon goddess herself has decided their fate. She will do anything to get rid of him. He will do anything to make sure they never end up together. But where does the line start to blur? And where does fate become love?

The sleepy English locality of Middletown is about to get even sleepier, as a strange malady starts to affect the population. It spreads quickly, causing the authorities to quarantine this small city, and seek out the only person who might be able to help: Doctor Andrew Strauss. However, Strauss has a secret, one that has linked him to this place all his life, one that has linked him to a particular person there, though he doesn’t yet know who. But he’s not the only one hiding things – and as he ventures into Middletown to collect samples with an army escort, a mixture of UK and US troops, cracks soon begin to appear in the operation. Especially when his team comes up against the most terrifying threat humankind has ever known.
