Still Water Runs Deep

In the seventh year of my relationship with Ruby Carrington, she picks me up from work in the heavy downpour one evening. When I open the door to the front passenger seat, I notice a puddle of water on the seat. A strand of short hair is there as well. Ruby grips the steering wheel without even looking at me. "I just dropped off an intern from the project department at his home. He didn't bring an umbrella with him, so he was drenched." As I sit on the damp seat, I feel my heart slowly going cold as well. "Ruby, you knew very well that I'm severely germaphobic." Ruby just chortles in response. Her tone is filled with impatience and exhaustion. "It's just a seat, isn't it? He's younger and funnier than you, not to mention he's also more handsome than you even when he's drenched in the rain. "I tried having a relationship with him. Being with him is definitely a lot more interesting than with you. But I'll still marry you, though. As long as you pretend not to know anything about my affair, we can keep this relationship going." Rain continues streaking down the window outside, and yet, I find the air inside the car even more suffocating than the rain itself.

"You will be treated like nothing except my fuck toy. You will get spoiled food once a week and water one sip a day. You will always stay naked. No clothes for you. No electricity for you. You will be locked in 1 room with just a floor forever. You will never be treated like a human being again from this day on."

Avani is the last earth dragon in the world. Not only that, but he is also the last male dragon. The other three remaining elemental dragons, air, water and fire, are all females. Unless he mates with one of the other three dragons, the race of pure dragons will die out. Since he snubs the idea of finding a mate, refusing to allow anyone to claim him and therefore control him, he has taken over as protector of the forest. The hunters are always searching for supernaturals to force into their Arenas, a modern-day gladiator fighting ring. And now, they are capturing supernaturals to experiment on, creating a new race of hybrid creatures. Because Avani can shift his emerald-green scales into the black of onyx, those he saves have started to call him The Dark Protector. Merethyl is an elven princess. She and her brother, Yhendorn, are captured by hunters when her family is attacked, her parents slaughtered in front of her. She and Yhendorn are held captive, experimented on, until one day they find a way to escape. As they flee, Yhendorn is re-captured sacrificing himself to make sure Merethyl gets away. As she runs, the hunters chase her, trying to run her down. Avani hears her and flies to her rescue, killing the hunters that are after her. When he realizes that she smells better than anyone he’s ever smelled before, he knows he must get away from her. He cannot allow her to have the total control over him that claiming him would give her. But Merethyl has nowhere else to go and she needs Avani’s help to rescue her brother. Will Avani be able to resist the charms of the elven princess, or will he fall to her, claimed, making her his dragonrider?

I should step back. But I don’t. His hand slides to my waist, firm, deliberate. Not asking. Claiming. My stomach tightens, heat curling low, and I feel every inch of him before I even see him. He’s behind me, close enough that I can feel his breath at my neck. My pulse stutters as his fingers trace slow, unhurried circles up my back, and I know I should pull away… but I can’t. His lips brush my neck. Not a kiss yet, just the promise of it. My head tilts back before I can stop myself, back arching like my body is betraying me. Then he speaks. Low, calm, in control “Don’t make a sound.” A shiver runs through me. Not from fear. Not exactly. From… him. He’s in control. I can’t fight it. I don’t want to. And somewhere deep inside, I realize the terrifying truth: I’m letting him have me.

“Since you’re an Omega, Miss Piper, that means you’ll need additional nutrition to carry your pup safely.” “W-what kind of nutrition?” Her cheeks flushed a deep, burning red. “The nutrition I mean, Miss Piper, is the pup’s father’s semen, you will need to, um… have regular sexual intercourse with the pup’s father to keep the pregnancy stable.” Piper’s life takes a dangerous turn when she goes into heat during the Alpha Summit, surrounded by powerful Alphas who would do anything to claim her. In a desperate attempt to escape, she runs into the room of the one man everyone fears. Alpha Dominic. One night changes everything. When Piper discovers she’s pregnant, and that her unborn child’s survival depends on the father, she has no idea who he is or what to do. But the universe has a cruel sense of humor, because the man who claimed her, and took her first time, is none other than the son of the woman who adopted her, her new brother. “Bite me, Dominic.” His eyes darkened as he stepped closer. “Gladly, little one.”

Desperate and broken, Omega Lucy Grey accepts the unthinkable—becoming the King’s breeder in exchange for the money that could save her comatose mother. But palace walls hold more than luxury—they conceal venomous secrets, deadly rivalries, and a Luna Dowager who will stop at nothing to crown her own daughter Queen. As Lucy finds herself caught between court politics, hidden enemies, and a King who’s not as heartless as he seems, she discovers something far more dangerous than rejection… love. Betrayal runs deep, and when the truth claws its way into the light, Lucy must fight not just for her future, but for her children, her mate, and the only man who ever made her feel seen. Can a love born of desperation bloom into destiny? Or will the shadows of the past claim their happily ever after?
