The Birthmark By Nathaniel Hawthorne

His hand wrapped around my throat in claim, as he pinned me against the cold stone wall. “You’re mine,” he growled, his breath hot against my lips. “Every breath and every heartbeat you take. Mine.” But his nephew’s voice echoed in my mind: “You deserve better than a man who treats you like furniture.” I never wanted this bond. Alpha Zane forced me into a contract marriage—bear him an heir, then disappear. He made it clear I’m nothing more than a child-bearing vessel. A servant elevated to Luna only because the Moon Goddess cursed us both. But his nephew, Kaius, sees me differently. He’s kind where Zane is cruel. Gentle where Zane is possessive. He offers me everything my mate hides from me: respect, partnership, freedom. The problem? My body responds to Zane’s dominance even as my heart breaks from his coldness. And the more Kaius shows me what love could look like, the more dangerous this becomes. Because Zane may not love me—but he’ll destroy anyone who tries to take what’s his. Even his own family. Torn between the mate who owns my soul and the man who sees it—which desire will damn me first?

Amaris has spent years trapped in the iron fist of Alpha Kieran, her so-called mate who treated her as a slave. He used her body for labor while starving her soul. After a reckless one-night stand with a stranger, everything changes for Amaris. Because the stranger is no ordinary man, he is Lycan King Ryker, powerful, devastatingly gorgeous, and absolutely blown with desire the moment he realizes what she is to him. His true mate, his Luna, and he will burn kingdoms to the ground before he lets another man's mark on her skin go unanswered. But Kieran is not ready to release what he once discarded. Now that another dominant male has awakened the goddess sleeping inside Amaris, now that she glows with confidence, sensuality, and a power she never knew she had, suddenly, Kieran wants her back. Desperately, obsessively, and dangerously. Ryker is determined to show her exactly what it means to be truly claimed, body, soul, and every breathless inch in between.

On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Elara Nightshade finally finds her mate the powerful and feared Alpha of the Bloodfang Pack. It should have been the happiest night of her life.

Banished to the forbidden forest, Elara is left to die. But under the light of the full moon, as her blood stains the earth, something ancient awakens inside her. Her wolf isn’t weak. It isn’t ordinary. It is something rare. Something feared. Something that hasn’t been seen for generations. A Blood Moon Beast. Now the girl who was rejected is changing , growing stronger, darker, and far more dangerous than anyone imagined. And when Alpha Kael begins to feel the mate bond again stronger, deeper, and burning with power , he realizes his mistake. But it’s too late. Because Elara has already been claimed. Not by a pack. Not by an Alpha. But by the beast within her. And this time… She won’t be the one begging.

BLURB They sold me for five million dollars but two wolves paid ten million, and now I belong to both of them for six months. My name is Beatrice, three days ago my mate sold me at auction to pay gambling debts he created while I secretly ran our pack and kept us from collapsing. He called me defective because I couldn’t give him children. That was his lie to hide his own failures and I let him spread it because the truth would make me a target for something worse than a bad marriage. Now I stand in a billionaire's penthouse owned by Vincent who bought me for revenge and Christopher who bought me because we were friends when we were children before I disappeared to escape a fate I would rather die than accept. Vincent treats me like a fascinating problem to solve and Christopher treats me like fragile glass that might shatter and neither one understands that I already broke years ago and put myself back together. Six months with two wolves who both want to own me in different ways, six months to plan what happens when the contract ends, six months to remember that before I was property I was a person who survived impossible things and I can survive this too. But somewhere between business dinners where Vincent watches me like I might be worth more than he paid and late nights where Christopher reminds me what it felt like to be seen as human, something dangerous is happening. I am starting to want things beyond survival and wanting things means having things to lose. They think they bought a broken Luna who will be grateful for rescue. They are about learning that surviving taught me to be something more dangerous than broken.

"No... No, you can't..." The patient says his desire is a little too strong and wants me to use my body to help him for a medical checkup. He then makes me lose myself in the moment in just a few moves...

Two powerful Alphas. One forced alliance. And a dangerous attraction that could destroy them both. In a world ruled by dominance, falling for each other may be the deadliest sin of all.

Please read with caution** "Our marriage is nothing but a deal," he said looking at the girl, her green eyes met his cold silver eye, and both of them glared at each other. "For any rules you break, I will claim any part of your body," his gaze grew dangerously darker at his word. ************* Ashley Harlow was at the top of the world, living the perfect and luxurious lifestyle as the legitimate daughter of the well-known Daniel Harlow. But sadly, a one-night stand put an end to that and brought her life upside down and that of her family's name to the ground. To restore his family's reputation, she was forced into marrying Damien Albrecht, a young, ruthless, obnoxious, brutal billionaire and the head of a mafia gang in exchange for her father's company.

Selene has spent her entire life as an outcast—a wolfless omega at the bottom of the Silver Claw Pack. Beaten down, used, and treated like nothing, she stopped dreaming of freedom a long time ago. Until the night she ran. With no pack and nowhere to go, she crosses into Black Oak territory, knowing it could mean her death. The Black Oak wolves are brutal, their Alpha even more so. But instead of being torn apart, she’s given a chance—a chance to fight, to survive, to become something more than the weak girl everyone saw her as. For the first time, she’s in control of her own fate. Until everything shifts again. Two months after her eighteenth birthday, the impossible happens—her wolf awakens. But the real shock comes in the dining hall, when she locks eyes with the last person she ever expected. Alpha Black. Feared. Ruthless. Untouchable. And now, her mate. But Selene has spent too long being unwanted, too long fighting for herself. She doesn’t know how to trust this bond—or the man fate has tied her to. Because belonging to the most powerful Alpha in the region doesn’t mean safety. It might just mean the most dangerous thing of all… giving someone the power to break her.
