With his hair as white as snow, blue eyes carrying weight as deep as the ocean and porcelain skin that looks almost translucent under the sun, Gavin has become his pack's subject of ridicule and abuse. At first it was just because of his appearance, and then he presented as an omega, the lowest of ranks, and it just only became worse.

Living his whole life like this, he has come to accept it, and acknowledged that maybe this is really just his fate.A news of a pack visiting to look for their pack alpha’s son’s mate spreads like wild fire and soon after, everyone in his pack prepared of it.

If only they knew who he really is, if only he knew, would he have allowed them to look down on him like this?In between disapproving looks and attempts to get rid of him, Gavin finds love whom he had ever only heard of before, the kind of love that people wrote and sang about, cried for, and died for.“Has anyone ever told you that you resemble snow? Your voice reminds me of it, gentle, almost crooning, but still cold. Even your scent, cinnamon and a bit like molasses. You greatly remind me of winter.”“Really? That’s lovely to hear. I love winter.”He smiles.“So do I.”

“I'm not a tool to satisfy your sexual cravings!" I yelled. But the moment I spilled those word as it stirred up something in him. “You are mine! Mine to keep, to rule. Your body, your soul, everything about you belongs to me!" He growled, pinning me against the wall. His hands traced every inch of my skin and I shiver at the thought of things he could do to me. ★★★ On the night of her 20th birthday, everything changed. In a bid to get out of her miserable life, Jasmine decides to run away from her abusive family into the arms of her mate/boyfriend, justin. The man she had trusted, the man she had given everything. He betrayed her in the most brutal way. Drugged, violated, and sold like property, she woke up in a dimly lit room, hands and feet bound. She wasn’t alone. Other women sat in silence, some sobbing, others too broken and hurt to react. It was only when she was dragged into a grand hall that the horrifying truth became clear. She was being auctioned and bought by a mysterious bidder. Alpha Jemah was everything the rumors said that he was, cold, calculating, and dangerously controlling. At the auction, the moment he set his eyes on Jasmine, he knew there was something special about her and immediately bought her. His rules were simple, a contract relationship in exchange for freedom. No feelings attached, No bridging of contract. With tension rising and chains breaking forbidden desires pull them closer but dark hidden secrets threaten to sever their bond.

In a world ruled by the iron fist of powerful Alphas, Lunas are little more than ornaments—beautiful, silent, and disposable. But a storm is brewing, and its name is Zoriana. Raised with the strength of an Alpha but bound by the duties of a wife, Zoriana built an empire for a man who repaid her with the ultimate betrayal: a fated mate. Tossed aside for a "fragile" replacement, the world expects her to wither away. They are wrong. From the ashes of her marriage, Zoriana rises. With a severed bond, a private army of elite defectors, and a heart turned to ice, she is no longer playing by the rules of the Great Packs. She is building her own kingdom, The ZRoux Group, and challenging the very foundations of shifter society. But the higher she climbs, the deadlier the game becomes. Dragged into a web of Alphas’ manipulative power plays and hunted by enemies who will stop at nothing to see her fall, Zoriana finds herself caught between two worlds. Fate has finally sent her a fated mate she is sworn to support—a man who represents everything she once wanted. Yet she feels a forbidden, soul-searing pull toward a devilishly alluring enemy who represents everything she branded as evil. In a world where carefully, crafted lies are unraveling and the line between right and wrong has blurred, the price of freedom may be higher than she ever imagined. When the dust settles, will she be the one wearing the crown, or will the weight of her choices be her undoing?

On her twentieth birthday, Morrigan finds her mate, the Supreme Alpha Rian O'Connor and shifts for the first time under the Solstice moon. It is only after her shift does her family and mate realize that she isn't an ordinary wolf, she's a tribrid. In the dark recesses of the spell caster kingdom and Fae kingdom the dark Fae and spell caster's have plans for an uprising, to bring their kind back into power and into the light. Their success hinges on Morrigan NOT harnessing her powers or finding her mate, but what happens when that comes to fruition? Will their uprising see success in bringing the darkness back or will it be all for nothing, to be defeated by Morrigan and her Alpha?

Pukul 4 pagi, suamiku, Arvian, membangunkanku dengan lembut. Suaranya lembut, "Elisa, sayang, bisakah kau melakukan sesuatu untukku?" Tapi kata-katanya berikutnya menghancurkan semua harapan. "Selina lapar. Buatkan dia sup ikan." Selina adalah pembantu kami, dan dia juga selingkuhan Arvian yang sedang hamil. "Aku baru saja mendapat ikan yang segar. Pergi ke dapur dan buatkan semangkuk sup untuknya. Khusus untuk pewaris Keluarga Mahendra." Aku menolak dengan suara yang dingin. Amarahnya pun menyala dalam sekejap. "Jangan keterlaluan, Elisa." "Apa membuat sup itu terlalu sulit bagimu?" Aku menggeleng dan tetap diam. Tangannya mengusap pipiku, dan senyum merendahkan tersungging di bibirnya. "Baiklah, Elisa. Jadi kau sudah berani menentangku sekarang." "Pikirkan baik-baik, Elisa. Apa kau benar-benar ingin tetap menjadi bagian dari Keluarga Mahendra?" "Dan posisi sebagai pengacara keluarga? Pikirkan apa kau masih menginginkan semua itu... lalu beri aku jawabanmu." Melihat kesombongan di matanya, sisa cinta terakhirku padanya pun lenyap. Aku mengeluarkan ponsel dan menekan nomor yang sudah lama tak kuhubungi. "Aku ingin keluar dari Keluarga Mahendra."
