Queen's Gambit

“I, Freya Simon, Member of the Blue Crescent pack, reject you, Xavier Malcolm and Xayden Malcolm, as my mates and alpha Princes. I sever all the bonds and ties with the Royal Red Claw pack,” I doubled over when a wave of pain sliced through my heart. Tears were rolling down my cheeks but only one thing was on my mind, I have to run away from them, as far as I can. The sound of footsteps accelerated my heartbeat but I couldn't live my life like this especially when I have two pups growing up in my womb. I will not let my pups open their eyes and live in this toxic environment. I was pushing my body as hard as I could when a fast car hit me hard and before I could decipher what was happening, Darkness engulfed me. ********** Freya was forced to live her life in a miserable environment because she was a hybrid, an outcast in the werewolf world. Being abused and tortured all her life, She thought of running away from the pack to live her life in peace but on her 18th birthday twin Alpha Princes claimed her as their mate and promised to give her a happy and peaceful life. Freya was happy but all her dreams were shattered when she got to know that she is just an addition in the harem of the Alpha Princes. Being their fated mate changed nothing for her but when she realized that she is pregnant with their pups. She decided to run away from this miserable life for her pups but then she stumbled on Three Lycan Princes, Who are her second-chance mates. Will she be able to give a chance to her second-chance mates or Will she just reject them?

For two years of marriage, Edith Conrad had done many things to catch James Shatner's attention, but he only responded with 'Stop being so dramatic' at best. Edith was convinced he was simply born a cold person, until she saw him sweet-talk his one true love, and came to understand that he can be sweet—just not to her. It also gave her the reality check that everything she did was for herself. Since then, she had turned into the perfect wife—mature, flawless, and dazzling. Then, when the time was right, she handed James their divorce papers and left without a care. When they met again, the once-fake heiress was now an actual billionaire, with countless successful men flocking around her. Seeing her having fun with them, James finally set aside his pride. "Mrs. Shatner, you're only allowed to be my drama queen." Dressed in dazzling vermillion, she looked coolly at him as she replied, "Sorry, Mr. Shatner. I'll be marrying someone else soon." He cornered her forcefully but was begging with a whisper into her ear, "You only get to marry me, Ed…"

She gave up her wolf for love. For Blaze. For their child. Nessa did the impossible sealing the very essence of who she was so she could live a quiet human life beside her fated mate. She believed love would be enough. She believed he would be enough. But when their son is born with a mysterious mark one that resembles a forbidden mating bond Blaze sees betrayal instead of destiny. Accusations shatter their fragile peace. Trust turns to ash. And the woman who sacrificed everything is cast aside as if she meant nothing. Yet the mark is no proof of infidelity.It is a warning. Because when dark forces rise to claim the child, the truth becomes terrifyingly clear: the mark was never about betrayal… it was about power. Now, with their son’s life hanging by a thread, Nessa and Blaze must confront secrets, pride, and a love they nearly destroyed. Only when everything is at risk will they learn. Some bonds cannot be broken. And some sacrifices were never meant to stay buried.

When Damian Voss lets his wife walk in on him kissing his first love against their kitchen island, he believes he's finally free — done with the quiet woman he married in secret, ready to claim the powerful public life he always wanted. What he doesn't know: the woman he just handed divorce papers to carries his child, his most dangerous competitor's personal vendetta, and a surname worth ten billion dollars that was stolen from her before she could walk. For three years, Lila loved him in secret — no announcements, no red carpets, no credit. She covered for his late nights, ignored the suspicious texts, and carried champagne and silk to a penthouse where she planned to give him everything. That moment arrived on their anniversary. He was already kissing someone else when she walked through the door. She signed. She slid the papers across the marble. She walked out without a single tear — and picked up a phone call that changed the shape of the world. Some men confuse silence for weakness. Some women are only quiet because they haven't yet decided what to burn. And some divorces don't end a story — they start one, with a crown, a rival, and an empire rebuilt on the ashes of everything he thought he owned.

Since I was a kid, my parents drilled it in—you're gonna be a Corleone girl, Giovanni Corleone's property. "This is just an alliance. Don't expect anything more." That's what he said on our wedding night. So I played the part—quiet, polished, dutiful. Then year three hit, and suddenly Giovanni couldn't keep his hands off me. Every night, something new. I thought maybe—finally—he felt the same way I had all along. Then I caught him kissing his stepmom. Funny. Just the night before, he told me kissing me made him sick. "I've been practicing with her—for your sake." So yeah. All that heat? Just rehearsal for her. So I ran. Took back my life—and our unborn daughter. The Don lost his mind looking for me. Begged me to come back—with the kid. But I would not stop for him anymore. I turned and walked straight toward the stage that was always mine.

My husband and his mistress, my stepsister, used me as a surrogate and took my child.My father never once looked me in the eye, yet adored his stepdaughter like she was his only blood. They expected me to break. They tried to kill me. They thought I would disappear forever.But what didn’t kill me only made me stronger. Rescued by my father’s greatest rival, I rebuilt myself with one goal: to return and make them pay ONE BY ONE. Everything was perfect, until I realized my assigned bodyguard was not what he seemed. He is a hidden KING, a man who protects me, spoils me, and now stands with me, aiming at the same targets: his brother, my ex.

Rejected by her Mate and being torn between two Realms, one where she grew up as a Water Elemental and healer and one where she is a werewolf Princess by birthright, Amaya Ricci will need to choose between her Alter ( Mate) and family.

At one of the exclusive private casino parties, my eyes landed on a diamond tiara. The catch? It was the prize for a high-stakes blackjack game. Luckily, poker happens to be one of my many sins. A girl named Elara—whom I once pitied enough to introduce to Throne, hoping she’d land a job—has now declared she wants the tiara too. Naïve. Probably thought beginner’s luck was a real thing. I figured, fine. Let the cards decide. If I win, I walk away with the tiara. If I lose, I’ll find another way to soothe my pride. Easy enough. Thorne, my ever-watchful husband, leaned in and murmured, “Go easy on her.” I didn’t. I won. Beat the dealer faster than her and won the tiara. That girl cried at the table. Thorne didn’t look impressed for once. He rather seemed... irritated. I thought it was for Elara’s sake. Turns out, it was for mine. A year later, same party, different stakes. The grand prize? My own sex video. While holding Elara in his arms, my husband said to me, voice almost amusing, “Don’t you like winning prizes? Then go on. Win our sex tape back.”

I waited eight years. The day I was supposed to become Luna, my fated mate, Alpha Cayden, rejected me in front of the entire pack. Because I was barren. He severed our mate bond and kissed my omega assistant, Lilith. Turns out, they had already mated. The bitch was pregnant with his child. Rage consumed me. I was ready to leave it all behind, but his mother threw me in a silver cell. He planned to strip me of my wolf and my gift—and give my powers to his new Luna, Lilith. Broken, I fled, only to be attacked by rogues and left for dead in a pool of my own blood. When I woke again, I was in a strange place. My memory was wiped clean. Alpha Rhys of the Shadowcrest Pack was by my side, promising to take care of me. And me, the barren wolf, I was pregnant… But I can no longer remember who the child's father was.
