Twenty Wendy

Manora has been called wolfless, defective, and a shame to the Crimson Fangs. For twenty years, she lived in the shadows of her family’s estate, waiting for the day they would finally decide she was no longer worth keeping. That day comes when they send her into a cave with a dying heir. Alpha Kaven was meant to be king. Instead, he is blind, stripped of his memory, and slowly rotting from a wolfsbane curse. He has been hidden away in a den so a traitor can quietly take the crown that should have been his. Manora is sent to him as a final insult. A girl with no wolf, no power, and a past full of scars. But the first time her blood touches his lips, something shifts. The curse weakens, and the man they left for dead begins to wake. Now they are both being hunted. A future ruler who trusts no one, and a girl who is only starting to understand how deeply she has been lied to. Every drop of her blood keeps him alive, and every step beside him pulls her deeper into a war she never asked for. He needs her blood to survive the night, and she needs his strength to survive what is coming. Together, they may become the most dangerous thing the seven packs have ever seen.

My mother had been hospitalized. My boyfriend worked as a doctor at the same hospital. You would think he would have visited her often, but he never did. Not once. On the first day of her stay, he did not come because he had taken a day off. His childhood friend was moving, and she needed his help. On the second day, that same childhood friend appeared at the hospital as an intern. He followed her everywhere and showed her the ropes. He handled anything she asked for, no matter how small. It went on like that, day after day. My mother's ward was on the thirteenth floor. His office was on the seventeenth. All it would have taken was a ten-second elevator ride or a two-minute walk down the stairs. Even so, Sebastian did not visit her for more than twenty days. My mother recovered. I picked her up by myself and took her to the train station. While I was on the way, he texted me. Sebastian: [Suzy's pet dog is getting vaccinated today. I need to drive her there first.] This time, I replied. [Got it. Drive safely. By the way, we're over.]

Adrian Vale is powerful, successful, and untouchable. At twenty nine, she is the CEO of Vale Noir Group, admired for her intelligence, respected for her leadership, and protected by a family no one dares to cross. Adrian is kind, warm, and loyal, even as powerful men orbit her world, each drawn to her for different reasons. A brilliant lawyer who challenges her mind and tempts her restraint. A businessman from her past who knows the woman she used to be. A dangerous connection she never fully escaped. But danger does not always arrive openly. Celeste Ashford is charming, helpful, and always close. A friend who smiles easily and listens carefully. When envy turns into entitlement, proximity becomes a weapon, and betrayal sets off a chain of events Adrian never sees coming. Whispers turn into threats. Threats turn into violence. And a reward is placed on Adrian Vale. Forced to confront the cost of being desired and the danger of being known, Adrian must decide who truly deserves her trust and how far she is willing to go to survive. This is not a story about a woman waiting to be saved. It is a story about power, desire, loyalty, and what happens when the wrong person gets too close.

MOONLIGHT REBORN Synopsis Nova spent six years giving everything to a man who was counting down the days until she was disposable. She built the antidote that made Caden's empire. She raised his son — a child she didn't know belonged to another woman. She lived as Silver Moon's Luna, isolated, grateful, devoted — while her husband and his mistress Sable ran a parallel life behind her back and slowly poisoned her into an early grave. She died in a hospital bed at thirty-one. Caden didn't come to collect her body. Then she woke up. One year earlier. Healthy. Furious. And in possession of every memory of every move they made against her. But the reborn life comes with a revelation that changes everything — Nova was never Silver Moon's forgotten Omega. She is the stolen heir of Moonlight Pack, a bloodline blessed by the moon goddess, and her father has been searching for her for twenty years. Now Nova has one objective: take back everything that was built on her sacrifice, burn down what remains, and claim the life that was always hers. The only complication is Dominic — the most powerful Alpha alive. And the pull between them that neither of them asked for.

It was midnight, and I was out at my stall when the cops took me to the station. They checked my profile and looked at me weirdly. "You're a Greatpeak graduate. What are you doing setting up shop in a bazaar?" That was odd. I went through the profile and realized that yes, while the student's ID was mine, the photo was not. I knew the guy in the photo. Josiah Ferguson. I had no idea I got accepted into Greatpeak University twenty years ago. Eventually, I was released, but I had no idea how I trudged back home. Then, I heard Hazel Quinley, my wife, talking to someone on the phone. "I won't let Michael get in your way, Josiah. Just go abroad." So that's it! It was her! My wife helped Josiah take what was supposed to be mine! I was sick. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to confront her and Josiah, but then she stabbed me in the back, and I died. "I'm sorry, Michael. I can't let you ruin Josiah's future." And then I woke up. I was taken back in time to my high school days. Our homeroom was giving out college application forms. This time, things would be different. This time, I would take back what was rightfully mine!

Two bloodlines. One forbidden hybrid. A bond that could save the pack—or ignite a war. For twenty years, Yesnia “Jesse” Amador has been a ghost in the foster care system, moving from one cold home to the next, haunted by "nightmares" of golden eyes and ancient forests. She thought she was just a girl with a troubled past, until a shortcut through the Texas woods brings her face-to-face with a massive, tawny wolf—and a power she was never meant to wake. Kyle, the formidable heir to the Medina River Pack, has spent his life waiting for his other half. When he finds Jesse, the Mate Bond doesn't just spark—it roars. As matching tribal marks burn into their skin, Jesse learns a terrifying truth: she isn't just a wolf shifter. She is a hybrid, the secret daughter of a high-ranking wolf and a powerful Coven witch. Her mother’s final act was a binding spell to hide her from the High Coven, a radical faction that views her existence as an abomination. But now the seal is broken. Jesse's scent is out, and the hunters are closing in. Swept into the luxury and danger of the Pack Estate, Jesse must survive the Trial of the River and claim her place as Luna. With a protector like Kyle at her side, she finally has a home to fight for—if her dual heritage doesn't tear the world apart first.

I gave birth prematurely, just twenty days before the due date. Two hours after I entered the surgery room, I had a stillborn baby. I did not cry at all. I did not even spare a glance at the dead baby. I endured the pain from childbirth and calmly walked into the hospital nursery. After the door was tightly shut, I turned down the temperature of the air-conditioning. The temperature inside the nursery would be too cold for newborns to bear after an hour. The doctors and parents were begging me on their knees to let their babies live. They screamed and cried. They said I was a mother and hoped that I would understand. Instead, I laughed and said, “Yes, I was a mother. But my baby died!” The gynecologist knelt on the floor and begged, “We may be at fault for not being able to save your baby, but these babies are innocent! “Please don’t be reckless just because you lost your baby! You’re so young. You’ll have more babies in the future.” I gritted my teeth and roared, “But my baby isn’t dead! “She’s still alive. I’ll give you one hour. Bring her back to me!” But I was unsure if she would still be alive after an hour.
