RÉSUMÉ. J'étais vierge. Je n'avais pas prévu de perdre ma virginité dans la nouvelle maison que ma mère nous avait trouvée. Son nouveau mari était mon patron au travail; je me souviens très bien qu'il me reluquait sans cesse pendant les réunions. Son nouveau fils, un coureur de jupons invétéré, était tout à fait mon type. Il avait des piercings partout où j’aurais aimé qu’un mec en ait, y compris à des endroits dont je ne savais même pas qu’on pouvait les percer. En plus, il adorait regarder des vidéos classées X et aimait pratiquer tous les styles… tout comme moi. Tout a commencé comme une pièce de théâtre, un rêve. Mon beau-père était âgé, et mon beau-frère sexy était mauvais et sexy. Si je devais me retrouver prise entre eux, je devrais en choisir un et laisser l’autre à ma mère, mais pourquoi ai-je l’impression de vouloir les deux ? Deux à la fois, ça ne ferait pas de mal, n’est-ce pas ? C’est ce que j’ai fait : j’ai ignoré tous les signaux d’alerte qui clignotaient devant moi et je me suis jetée sur les deux, sans me soucier des sentiments de ma mère, sans me soucier du fait que j’étais trop petite pour les accueillir. J’ai mangé et je me suis essuyé la bouche. ... Que s'est-il passé quand, soudain, le père et le fils en ont eu marre de manger dans la même assiette? Ques'est-il passé quand ils ont compris que pour préserver le secret de famille, ils devaient se débarrasser de celui qui avait tout déclenché? Serait-ilpossible que l'un d'eux change, développe des sentiments et sauve la situation? Quandson beau-père et son demi-frère aiment tous les deux une pute comme elle, que doit faire la petite salope?

When Deidre Carey inherits her grandmother’s woodland cottage, she returns to Moonhollow Village for the first time in years for a fresh start. When she learns that her first crush is still living in the village, she finds herself drawn to him, regardless of his tempestuous moods. When she begins to unearth the web of secrets her grandma left behind, Deidre finds herself caught up in more than she ever could have imagined when she returned to the sleepy little mountain town. Grant Hawthorne was always going to be the town disappointment, but something has changed in all those years since Deidre’s been gone. In an accident that took his older brother’s life, Grant’s world was changed forever when he became not just the sole guardian to his young niece, but a werewolf. Grant does everything in his power to keep the curse subdued and secret, but all his walls come crashing down around him when his world collides with the force of nature that is Deidre Carey. “Of Wolves and Magic” explores the tumultuous relationship between a newly realized witch and a troubled man suffering from a lycanthropic curse as they navigate the complex secrets of the supernatural world lurking just beneath Moonhollow’s deceptively cozy surface.

"Why did you put me through that?" I asked, taking a moment to delve into his intense gaze. "Do you really despise me that much?" Dimitri hissed, his voice sharp like a knife. "Isabelle, be careful with what you say." "Why should I even try?" I shot back, matching his intensity. "That’s enough!" Dimitri growled, his voice low and menacing. Before I could respond, he roared, halting my words in their tracks. He seized my arms, pushing me against the wall. My heart raced, and the fire in his gaze intensified. This is unbearable! There’s no escaping destiny anymore. His lips crashed onto mine, stealing my breath and breaking through all my defenses. --- Isabella Rosa Santacruz is a witch on the run, her blood linked to a prophecy that positions her as the key to the universe. Throughout her life, she has evaded monsters and myths, always staying a step ahead—until now. Dimitri Axel Castellan, known as the Blood Alpha, is feared, ruthless, and weighed down by a cursed pack fated to perish on the eleventh blood moon. However, when he encounters Isabella—the one person he never expected—everything shifts. She becomes the air he can’t breathe without, even if loving her means sacrificing everything, including his own life. Will their connection protect them from the impending chaos, or will it pull them apart?

Sybil von Rosen was never meant to grow up among humans. Born a Lycan princess through a human surrogate, she was stolen from the castle as an infant by the very woman meant to nurse her, a woman who turned out to be a witch. Hidden beneath a powerful spell that caged her wolf and erased her scent from the supernatural world, Sybil was raised knowing exactly who she was… and exactly what she had been bred for. A womb. A crown. Her bloodline’s legacy. But Sybil was never meant to be a broodmare queen. She grew up human with the strength and senses of a shewolf and the magic of the witches, which got transferred to her while she was still in the womb of her surrogate. Betrayed by her hybrid fiancé, who abandoned her to marry the princess of their kingdom, Sybil made a decision that will shake three kingdoms. She returned. Not for love. Not for duty. For revenge… But the throne comes with chains. Instead of marrying one Alpha, she is bound to four—the Alpha Guardians of Lupenreich. Ruthless. Powerful. Pureblood. Feared across kingdoms. She cannot smell her mates. She is a Lycan princess trapped in a wolfless witch body. While the Alphas believe they're claiming their future Queen, Sybil is already planning something far more dangerous. She will not stand beside a king. She will not be used to breed to secure bloodlines. She certainly will not be ruled. If the kingdom wants a queen… They’re about to kneel to a rebel queen. Sybil von Rosen is not an ordinary Luna. She is the last Lycan heir. The forbidden daughter of witches. The mate of four Alpha Guardians. And she intends to take the throne for herself and will bow to no one.

She was born to break him. He was cursed to crave her. And the bond between them might just burn them to ash.

Ezmira Franchild was adopted at the age of eleven. No one knew where this silent little girl originated from, all they knew was that she was found under an old broken-down bridge, curled up into a ball and trembling with fear. It took her an entire year before she began to speak again but once she did, she never spoke of where she came from or who her parents were... she simply clutched to the dirty old bag that she was found with and never allowed anyone to search it or take it from her. Years later, Ezmira is still a quiet child, living in a small town with her sister, Liza Franchild and trying to make the best of her life. Little did she know that her past was not something she could run from or ignore. Once a witch, forever a witch. “I'm afraid to live. I'm afraid to let people in again because I'd never know when they'd leave. My existence is a curse.” ~Ezmira “I've been cursed for many years, but you're the first curse that I've ever willingly accepted. If you're afraid just hold onto me, we can face our fears together.” ~Axil Book 1 of the Divinity Series.

When Rose was just a newborn, a witch sacrifices her life to save her. Hidden beneath a powerful Alpha’s protection, Rose grew up shielded by a spell strong enough to keep her enemies at bay. But magic always demands a price, and protection is never permanent. When that protection begins to crack, so does the life she thought was safe. Cast out from the pack and stripped of everything she once belonged to, Rose moves to Westwood City and carves out a new existence. An ex-underground fighter, she now works under the protective eye of Lucas, a man who knows exactly what she is. In his biker bar, she finds a family. In the dark corners of the city, she becomes something else entirely, a feared bounty hunter. She doesn’t play nice and soon draws attention. Kaedyn Hakon, known only as Mr Midnight, rules the city from the shadows with quiet, ruthless control. He is a man whispered about, never seen, and feared by those who know better than to cross him. Lyon Ulrich, the brutal leader of the Road Wolves, rules through fear, fast violence, and a temper no one survives twice. Both men are dangerous, and both want to claim her. Rose is forced to confront who she truly is as the truth about her past begins to unravel. Because in a world where power is taken, not given, choosing the wrong side won’t just cost her everything. It will cost her who she is.

(21 years ago) It was the darkest of all nights and the hunt had begun. The glorious light of the moon was shining bright, spreading its silver glow throughout the forest and not a single animal moved, for they all knew what was about to happen. The ground shook as the park tore through the forest and emerging first through the shadow was the Alpha. His amber eyes glowed and his snout twitched as he breathed in the damp fresh air. He growled a loud howl and in response a hundred other roars were heard. Then beside him another wolf appeared, blue eyes and the whitest fur – his mate and the Luna of the pack. Both wolves shared a glance and as their eyes met they shared a conversation. In the midst of the hunt Alexia finds a human baby kept in a carton barely covered and left to be killed by the cold or wild animals. WHAT WILL SHE DO WITH THE BABY?

Born to power but raised in pain, Crystal’s life is anything but ordinary. Once the daughter of a powerful Alpha and Luna, she is reduced to a broken omega after a betrayal that steals her parents and her status. Trapped in a pack that despises her, she endures endless abuse until fate reveals its cruelest twist: her destined mate is the very man who helps destroy her. But destiny is not done with her yet. After a desperate escape that ends in death, Crystal awakens to something impossible. Chosen by the Moon Goddess and bound to an ancient prophecy, she rises reborn as a hybrid of wolf and witch, carrying a power the world has never seen.

Far away, Alpha Kenneth, a feared and powerful alpha that is hardened by the loss of his parents to vampires, feels the awakening of a force that changes everything. When their paths collide, the bond between them ignites, fierce and undeniable. But trust is not easily given, and Crystal must decide whether to embrace the connection or stand alone. As hidden truths unravel and enemies close in, Crystal discovers the depth of the betrayal that shatters her past and the role she must play in a war that will determine the fate of both werewolves and vampires. To fulfill the prophecy, she must rise beyond fear, claim her power, and stand beside the one man who could either be her greatest strength or her greatest risk. Because this time, she is not the omega they broke. She is the fire they cannot extinguish.
