She was born to lead. Raised to suffer. Destined to rise. For years, Lyra has known nothing but pain. Enslaved by her own pack, starved, beaten, and unable to shift, she is a broken omega with no future. But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, after being rejected and left for dead, fate intervenes in the form of Kane, the handsome and powerful Lycan Prince. He senses her. Claims her. Saves her. But Lyra is no ordinary omega. Beneath the scars and suffering lies a forgotten Alpha’s bloodline - a truth buried by those who wanted her dead. As Kane fights for justice, uncovering the treachery that stole her birthright, a greater danger lurks in the shadows. A war is coming. A war tied to her very existence. With the kingdom on the brink of darkness and secrets leading them to a lost power, Lyra must embrace the strength inside her before it’s too late. Her enemies want her silenced. Her mate will burn the world to protect her. And the fate of the Lycans depends on what she does next. Her story has only just begun.

She was never supposed to catch his attention. She was never supposed to survive it either. When Aria crosses paths with Cassian Virelli, a ruthless man who owns power like a birthright, her life fractures in ways she never imagined. Cassian doesn’t pursue—he claims. And once he decides she is his, walking away is no longer an option. To Cassian, Aria is fragile. Beautiful. Breakable. A woman meant to bend beneath his control. But Aria carries scars of her own, and beneath her silence lies a strength forged by pain, not weakness. The more Cassian tries to dominate her world, the more she threatens to unravel his carefully constructed darkness. What begins as possession turns into obsession. What was meant to break her slowly begins to expose him. In a world where love is dangerous, trust is a weapon, and power always demands a price, Mine to Break is a dark, intense romance about control, resistance, and the thin line between destruction and devotion. Because some hearts are not meant to be broken… And some monsters were never meant to fall in love.

Five years into marriage, Silvia Serra becomes both Dante Valenti's most lethal weapon and his most invisible presence. She shields him from bullets. She crosses a freezing river for him. Her scars accumulate, and his response is an assumption that it is how things are meant to be. In time, Dante grows repulsed by the violence clinging to her. He derides her lack of charm and gives his warmth to another woman instead. He allows others to grind down her dignity, and with a new lover in his arms, he openly stains her name. Silvia tolerates it so she can continue guarding him. Everyone mocks her as if she's numb to it all, driven away again and again, but never truly gone. Then comes the night of pounding rain. Cast aside without ceremony, Silvia erases every sign she was ever there and leaves with finality. Dante treats it as nothing more than sulking, convinced she will return within three days. Later, the once-untouchable Don was seen on his knees at Silvia's feet, stripped of all pride, begging her to turn back and look at him just once.
