Lydia Michaels

Marked by Mistake: His Son, Her Revenge

We lived under the protective care of our warrior father, Jack, a loyal servant of Alpha Michael. Though both of us bore the same face, our souls couldn’t have been more different. I was more of serene, kind-hearted, and chosen by fate—and Alpha Michael—to become Luna of Moonlight. My twin sister Caroline, on the other hand, nursed a deep, hidden envy of me, craving the power and attention that I so effortlessly attracted. As the full moon approached and excitement for the Luna ceremony mounted, so did my inner turmoil. Fueled by jealousy, Caroline devised a sinister plan to seduce Alpha Michael and deceive him into believing she was me. On the eve of the marking, she drugged his drink and stole into his bed. In a haze of confusion and manipulation, Michael marked Caroline, believing she was his destined mate. The next day, all hell broke loose. Michael, torn between guilt and belief in Caroline’s lies, rejected me in front of the entire pack. He accused me of betrayal—of manipulating him, of trying to play the twin game. The once-admired future Luna was now mocked, cast aside, and shamed. Even my father, turned his back on me. Humiliated and heartbroken, I fled into the forest, with nothing but pain and memories. There, among the silence, I stumbled upon the lands of the Silver Pack. Tired, weak, and pregnant with Alpha Michael’s child, I collapsed. Alpha Marcus of the Silver Pack found me. A strong and noble leader, Marcus was struck by the broken beauty before him. Without knowing my past, he took me in, protected me, and shielded me from all harm. Though the Silver Pack was known for its strict laws and closed borders, Marcus made an exception. Slowly, with kindness and grace, I began to heal. In time, I revealed my story—and my secret. I told Marcus of my rejection, the betrayal, and the baby growing inside me. I expected disgust. Instead, Marcus offered support, love, and protection. He offered me a home, a future. But not just that. He saw a Luna in me, a leader and a light. He introduced me to the pack as his destined mate and Luna. Though questions rose and whispers floated, Marcus’s faith in me silenced them all. What happens when Alpha Michael finally realizes her mistake? What happens when the pack knows the truth about my sister Caroline?

Hired As A Wife By The Handsome Billionaire

(Warning- Mature Content) "It could have been anyone. Then why me?" Michael Clark took a pause before replying as his eyes met hers. "Because it had to be you." Ashley Parker had believed that the biggest twist her life took was when she went for an interview but got hired as a wife. Just how wrong she was! Michael Clark was the name that was infamous around the country. Being the future leader of the Clark Industries, he was widely known for his dedication towards his aims. Everyone had believed that whoever will marry him would either belong to some royal family or equally prestigious one. However, it took everyone by surprise when he got married to an orphan. An orphan who did not meet the expectations of his stinking-rich family at all. The Clarks were no less than the royals. It was the family living as a joint, setting themselves as a big-happy family. In reality, it was messed-up, with troubled internal history. They did not get along with each other! And it was an understatement that they disliked Ashley. What was trusted to be a fairytale was nothing but a facade behind the closed doors. There was a deal hidden from all. Michael had a purpose to fulfill for which Ashley Parker would stay as his wife for three years and he will pay off her debts in return. After that they will part their ways. What Ashely could not understand throughout was why it had to be only her when she had nothing to offer him? "That day you said it had to be me. Why?" She tried again. "You do know that the curosity kills the cat, right?" "At least warn me if it will be harmful to me." His thumb halted on her skin. His eyes which were following his thumb all the while met her eyes again. She looked at him with something close to desperation. It was the desperation to have a slightest hint of what was needed of her. "A warning, right." Michael murmered. "Dangers will be upon you but I promise that not a single scratch you will get." Unbeknownst to her, she was the most useful to him. Her entire being. Her identity. Just her existence. No money in the world could buy her existence. What game was he even playing? Nothing materialistic. But something that no money in the world could buy. What Michael did not imagine was to get obsessed with his pretty wife. He never thought that his desires would take over him, making him go against himself to keep her as his. Only his. The flame of the revenge would die. The raged breaths would calm. The darkened period would get to see the new light just as long as she was alive. And then one day, incidents began occurring, secrets started unfolding and her heart began falling when she realized what purpose was that drove Michael to marry her.

Madness Made Us

After a war that broke the world, love became the most dangerous thing left alive. Centuries after the War of Madness, the once-noble Lucian Vhalcrest rises from slavery to royalty through sheer will, manipulation, and mystery. The Emperor of Alexandria, recognizing Lucian’s brilliance, adopts him as heir—placing him beside Lydia Vainsblood, the emperor’s only daughter. But Lydia is no ordinary princess. She’s the Blood Queen—an intelligent, composed, cunning vampire with yandere edges, political masks, and a buried fear of abandonment. Five years younger than Lucian and secretly devoted to him, their forbidden attraction simmers beneath layers of courtly duty, familial tension, and fate. Their bond deepens in secret, tangled in passion and emotional restraint.

He wanted this. > “You were the ending I was never strong enough to reach.” With a final whisper to his lost beloved, Vharel lets himself be absorbed.

Bonds: A Pack of Wolves

Michael’s world is turned upside down when his father brings him to a mysterious bunker located beneath one of his family's establishments. His heart was racing, his hands were shaking, and his eyes were wide. The only thought ruling over his mind, the only question that flooded his mind, was 'WHAT IS THIS PLACE?' He asked himself repeatedly. Each time he and his father walked ever deeper into the bunker, Michael would feel an insatiable urge to question his beloved father on why he had decided that they should explore this daunting bunker. But how could he satisfy this urge to this man, this man he loved yet equally feared, this man whose anger burned like a blazing furnace? Quietly Michael walked behind his father. Finally, they reached a massive doorway. Further inside was a massive hall estimated to host at least 300 people. When he, Michael, the young lad, gazed around the hall, and when his face turned to the left side, shockingly, he saw an empty seat, which looked like a throne. "Father, what is this?" Michael questioned, "And why does that seat look like a throne?" That's because it is,He his father answered. Michael answered with another question, "Whose?" He asked, and his father went towards the throne and replied, "Mine," as he sat. Michael could not describe the emotions racing within him at that moment, but just when he thought he couldn't be more terrified, Venite, servi me! His father shouted at least 3 times. After shouting, the hall was flooded with men wearing black combative gear clothing and covered with black masks. They all came and stood in a formation as if they were trained soldiers; after they had all lined up, they themselves began shouting, Rex Lupus! Dominus Lupus! They shouted these words, words that Michael could not understand, about five times. Michael's father then responded also in a tongue he could not understand, remaining in absolute terror. Michael stood quaking after his father was done speaking to the men. All the men turned their faces from his father to him, and they shouted aloud, Iuvenis Lupus! Iuvenis Lupus. His father stood from his chair. Let's go, my son, he said to Michael. 'Who are you?' The young lad asked himself, completely and utterly stunned.
