North And South

“You think I care for what happens to my life?” “The last thing that is certain to happen to all humans is death.

Of all the inhabitants of Elenio, only the Arcthurian, a special force formed to fight the Draconians, had ever seen the figure of this monstrous creature. Gemma’s work at a nightclub, a forbidden place in Elenio, the actions of her childhood best friend, Jonathan, and Gemma’s encounter with a mysterious handsome man, brings Gemma to be involved in Archturian. Until finally Gemma finds out that the curse of this country is closely related to her.

She has spent her life loving future Alpha Killian, believing their fated bond would finally give her a voice. But on the night of the Blood Moon, Killian publicly shatters her heart. He rejects Elara as "too weak to lead," choosing the cruel but powerful Cora as his Luna. The rejection should have killed her. Instead, it snaps a seal on an ancient power. Elara isn't a normal wolf; she is a Primal Guardian with the ability to command the elements. Exiled and hunted, she flees to the South, where she meets Malachi, the "Monster King." He is the only one who sees the goddess hidden beneath her scars. Under Malachi’s protection, Elara transforms into a force of nature.

Lyra Hale wasn't just rejected on the most important day of her life, she was also branded worthless and unworthy. She thought her life couldn't get any worse, but she was wrong. She was sold to the most feared, and strongest Alpha in the North, Alpha Drax Grant as a breeder. They call him the Savage Alpha. Heartless. Ruthless. Touched by shadows. No one dares get on his bad side, for they never live to tell the tails. Drax makes it clear— This is just to pass away time, and nothing more, it's nothing but a bargain. She’ll bare his heir, be invisible until when needed, and keep her nose out of his business. Rules were enforced for her to follow, if she dears break any, she would pay dearly or her pack will. But when her naive self unlocked something buried in him, the rules begin to burn. Lyra is everything he swore to destroy. He was everything she grew to fear. What happens when a battle against the curse becomes a war for love. Will the curse claim yet another victim?

After my father died, the illegitimate daughter he had been raising abroad immediately returned to the country to fight me for the estate. Her name was Alma. I was his only legitimate child, and I even had a will on my side. However, I still failed to keep my rightful inheritance. My fiancé Wayne, who could command the entirety of North City with a flick of his wrist, insisted on helping Alma. He stood protectively in front of Alma’s wheelchair and asked me impatiently, “With the money I gave you, you could buy plenty of houses like that. Are you really so heartless? Why would you fight a disabled person over it?” I confronted him, my voice trembling with disbelief. “Fighting? That house is the only thing my mother left me.” In the end, Wayne helped Alma win the lawsuit. He looked at my red, swollen eyes with a trace of guilt and said, “Jocelyn, I’ll make it up to you in the future.” However, I knew then that there was no more future between us.

Without Kaelen's knowledge, I had his little plaything sent out of North America. That same night, he cast a blood-vine curse on my parents, banishing them to the wilds—a wasteland prowled by rogues. He was going to trade my parents' lives for the whereabouts of his plaything. Kaelen pushed a communication crystal in front of me. Inside it, my parents were ensnared by blood-red vines, the thorns digging deep into their flesh. Drops of dark crimson blood fell, one by one, onto the barren earth. A countdown timer pulsed in stark red digits on their chests. 23:59:59 23:59:58 He sat across from me, a black suit tailored to perfection molded to his lean, powerful frame. His long fingers tapped a light, steady rhythm on the solid wood table, as if he were waiting for a trivial business deal to close. "Estelle, you have twenty-four hours." His voice was low and calm, laced with a venomous tenderness. "Tell me, where did you send Cassandra?"

His mate, the man he trusted but still broke his heart, is the Alpha of the strongest pack in North Carolina who's marrying Jenna–the Beta's daughter. There's nothing more heartbreaking than seeing your mate marry someone and Conrad can't take it anymore so he runs away without saying goodbye. Ryker is young, ruthless, and the next Alpha in line. The night when he found out that he has a male mate he instantly thought that his father wouldn't approve and would strip him of the Alpha title, so he comes up with the idea of marrying the beta's daughter and keeping Conrad as his secret. Not telling his mate about his plans was his biggest mistake because the day after the wedding, his mate is gone and nowhere to be found. Five years later and Ryker does not expect to find his mate holding a four-year-old boy that is in spitting image of him.

"I didn't ask for your help, you piece of , so you can keep your arrogant remarks to yourself." I snapped back, not liking the stranger's approach. "What did you just call me?" He demanded, halting.
