Grace Harper has always been an outsider—raised in a wolf pack that never truly accepted her, adopted by an alpha with too many secrets. When her ex-boyfriend leaves her for his mate and the truth of her adoption comes to light, Grace knows she has to leave… or die trying. But her path to freedom slams into the Lycan King. Cold, powerful, and burdened by the ghosts of a past he refuses to share, Caine doesn’t want Grace in his world. He doesn’t believe she belongs in any world but her own. And yet, with fate tethering their souls, his control begins to crack. Grace never asked for his protection. She never asked to want him, either. But something ancient is waking, and the deeper she dives into the truth of her past, the more she realizes: maybe she was never meant to be free. Maybe she was meant to change everything. Starting with him. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* is the slightly unhinged romance between a human girl with inconvenient human morals and her mildly sociopathic fated mate—who also happens to be the Lycan King and has the emotional intelligence of a rock. Thankfully, their dangerously magnetic bond is (barely) balanced by found family chaos, a buttload of magic, and a fated mate connection that might actually kill her if they touch. Oops. Just when you think you’re reading *yet another werewolf story*, the plot and worldbuilding sneak up behind you with claws, teeth, and actual stakes. It’s slow-burn, emotionally messy, and laced with the kind of tension that could kill—or kiss—you. --- **WARNINGS:** R18: Smutty smut smut. Also, dark themes, including but not limited to: Murder, attempted murder, a stack of dead bodies, betrayal, mild sociopathy, an ML who appears to bathe in red flags despite his favorite color being green, an unwarranted hatred of blueberry muffins, and pillow thievery. A **slow burn**, spicy wolf shifter urban fantasy romance with a lot of random plot trying to knot-block everything. When the spice hits, please read responsibly. Thank you~ [WSA 2025 Contest Entry]

"Isn't this the weak young master of the Valhalla family?" "Hahaha! I heard he only knows how to waste money... Completely useless." Another voice, dripping with false pity, chimed in. "Both his sister and brother are Tamers, strong ones at that. While him... the eldest... pathetic!!" The final word, spat out like a curse, hung in the air: "Useless!" In this world, where the bond with powerful Beasts dictated one's standing, where strength was synonymous with the ferocity and strength of your companion. Christopher Valhalla was an anomaly. He found solace not in the thrill of battle or the acquisition of monstrous power, but in the simple, fleeting joys of life. He enjoyed partying, clubs, and women. He offered no retort to the cruel rumors that trailed him like a shadow. Because, truth be told, a knot of fear tightened in his stomach at the mere sight of the majestic, often terrifying, creatures that others commanded. But every life, regardless of its perceived worth, eventually finds its end. For Christopher, it came not in the jaws of a wild Beast, nor in a duel he was ill-equipped for, but in the insidious grip of a rare and incurable sickness. Some days later his flame flickered and he died, leaving behind a void filled with the echoes of scorn. Yet, where one life ended, another began. In the silent stillness of Christopher's vacant shell, a new consciousness stirred. A soul, bearing the weight of unmatched power and a reputation that sent shivers down the spines of even the most formidable Tamers, had arrived. This was the Supreme Tamer, a legend whispered in hushed tones across the world, a force of nature who had inexplicably perished at the hands of betrayal. Given this unexpected second chance, the Supreme Tamer, now inhabiting the frail form of Christopher Valhalla, felt a strange sense of acceptance. He looked upon the unfamiliar yet familiar faces of his new family – the concerned worry etched on their features – and a flicker of something akin to kinship sparked within him. A silent vow formed in his mind, hardening into an unbreakable resolve. The rumors that clung to this body like a shroud would be torn away. And the five Master Tamers who had orchestrated his demise in his previous life… They would learn the true meaning of fear. Their betrayal would be answered, not with petty revenge, but with the full, terrifying might of the Supreme Tamer, reborn. The world was about to discover that "useless" could be the most dangerous disguise of all. _______ Author's word, This Books will remain free till it clock 100 Chapters!

Lin all tired and weak, from the torture she had gone through for the past days, now tied to a pole right at the edge of the cliff, looked up to her killer who was standing some meters away, and asked faintly "Why do I have to be put through all this?" "Am just carrying out an assignment." the killer responded, with no sign of sympathy whatsoever. Lin stared at her killer, obviously the masked figure wasn't going to show her any form of mercy. Already tired of life and had given up, she asked her killer one last time. "You really think, my dad is going to let y'all go after am dead?". The killer gave an evil grin. "Seems you have so much confidence in your dad..." He said clicking his teeth, and after exhaling. "Your dad wants you dead sweetheart." He said bluntly, dropping the bombshell, leaving Lin in utter shock and confusion. "That can't be true." She whispered although she could hear the doubt in her own voice, as the tears flowed from her already weary eyes down to her cheeks. She really didn't want to believe this but something was starting to make sense to her..She had gone through a lot already "Just end this please." She said exhaling deeply, as she closed her eyes. She could hear the echo of the gunshot as she waited patiently the bullet to pierce for through her... Yet nothing came through, she couldn't feel any form of pain or sting... "Isn't it meant to hurt a little?.. Or is she dead already.." She thought, as she slowly opened her eyes... What she saw was overwhelming... Her killer was on the floor instead... She scanned around, and that's when she saw a young man coming towards her... As the person came closer, she started to notice, that the person was also having feminine characteristics.... Wait that was a lady, looking really masculine.... Clad in all black, high boots, and a neat cut... She was lost in the eyes of this stranger and hadn't noticed that the lady had started to untie her. "What's going on?" A very confused Lin whispered, "Just follow me." The lady replied as she loosened the last knots that held Lin to the pole. Already freed Lin tried to take a step but stumbled. The lady turned and gave a smirk. "You were quite strong at first." And before Lin could fathom what she said, she swept her off her feet. And whispered, "Am not letting you go this time."

In the heart of Milan, where the sleek architecture of fashion houses pierces the sky and every street hums with power and pretense, twenty-three-year-old Sofia Mariani is just beginning to carve a place for herself. A driven and fiercely intelligent marketing intern, Sofia has clawed her way into the glittering world of Greco & Co., one of Italy’s most prestigious luxury fashion firms. Though she comes from a humble background, there is nothing small about Sofia’s dreams. She wants not only to succeed—but to rewrite the rules of success altogether. For Sofia, the office is both a battlefield and a stage. She spends her days perfecting campaigns and proving her worth in a culture that values image over integrity, charm over character. She is unafraid of the long hours, the ruthless hierarchy, or the sly glances that doubt her presence on the executive floor. What she doesn’t expect is to catch the attention of Alessandro Greco himself. Alessandro is a man shaped by legacy and loss. Cold, brilliant, and unknowable, he is the heir to the Greco empire, a man as feared as he is admired. He built his reputation on silence and precision, rarely stepping out of line, never letting anyone in. But when he notices Sofia—the intern who doesn’t flinch, doesn’t simper, doesn’t chase—his carefully controlled world begins to unravel. Their first real encounter doesn’t happen until weeks into Sofia’s internship. It’s a brief interaction, born of necessity, sharp with tension, but it leaves a mark. A glance becomes a conversation. A conversation turns into proximity. And proximity? That turns dangerous. When a late-night company gala ends with a moment of weakness—a kiss that turns into a night neither of them can forget—Sofia and Alessandro find themselves trapped in a storm neither of them saw coming. What should have been a fleeting indiscretion becomes irreversible when Sofia discovers she’s pregnant. The consequences are immediate and seismic. Rumors swirl. Allegiances shift. Alessandro, bound by duty and haunted by a past he never speaks of, proposes a solution that shocks them both: a contract. Discreet. Strategic. Temporary. They will pretend to be together for the sake of the company, the family name, and the unborn child. Love is not required. Attachment, forbidden. But as the days stretch into weeks and Sofia becomes more entwined in the fabric of Alessandro’s world, the lines begin to blur. They argue. They resist. They burn. What began as mutual indifference slowly shifts into reluctant reliance—then something much deeper. Sofia sees the man behind the empire: flawed, grieving, and deeply protective. Alessandro sees the woman behind the ambition: vulnerable, sharp, and fiercely loyal. Yet the closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes. Secrets fester beneath the glamour of their staged relationship. Alessandro’s family hides more than scandal; they hide a history that threatens to dismantle everything. Old flames return. Corporate rivals circle. And Sofia, caught between the life she imagined and the one she’s being forced into, must decide what she truly wants—and what she’s willing to risk for it. Tangles is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers office romance, a story woven with emotional complexity, seductive power plays, and a pregnancy that binds two unwilling hearts together. Over 120 chapters, it traces the transformation of Sofia and Alessandro’s relationship from wary strangers to passionate lovers to something far messier—and more beautiful—than either of them planned. It is about choice, consequence, and the long, winding road to real love. And the truth that sometimes, the most complicated knots are the ones that tie us to who we’re meant to become.

Is being someone's shadow a blessing or a curse? Can you live your present happily? Or that person's past will punish every single moment of your life? This story tells how three families are bound together by a common thread. But who is the one who has put knot in it? Will this knot ever be resolved? Or will this thread itself break? How two lovers got separated and the one they sacrificed everything for will betray them because of a misunderstanding. Their separation will become a reason of disaster and revenge between the people they love the most. A girl whose only happiness and reason to live is her grandfather. She never expected anything from her fate but one proposal changed her entire life. In one night her world turned upside down. Loosing her lifeline and taking revenge for it, she drenched herself in blood of her own people.

“First time? You’re tight…” The man’s teasing voice sounded a little hoarse. A hot breath rolled onto Su Nan’s face. With her eyes blindfolded, Su Nan asked through heavy breaths, “Qiao Ming, is that you?” “Guess,” he said in an unusually icy tone. The next morning, Su Nan opened her eyes and found herself alone in the room. Just as she was immersed in the sweet sensation of finally giving her fiance, Qiao Ming, her all, the room’s door was pushed open. Qiao Ming appeared in a striking suit, looking handsome as always. Yet, he had worn a cold expression, one that Su Nan had never seen before. Standing beside him was Su Nan’s step-sister, Sun Qian. Sun Qian asked with a smirk, “Was the gigolo I gave you last night satisfactory? I heard it was your first time.” Su Nan’s heart sank into her stomach. With disbelief in her eyes, she stared at the man, who she had been in love with for so long and was about to tie the knot with, intimately holding onto Sun Qian. Sun Qian added, “I was with Qiao Ming last night, and the person who defiled you was a gigolo I meticulously picked out for you. Su Nan, weren’t you a pompous woman? How does it feel to be r*ped by a gigolo?” Qiao Ming said, “For the sake of making me marry you, your father forced Sun Qian to get an abortion. That was my first child! Your whole family deserves death! Right, your father died last night, and your Su family has been bought over by me this morning. If it wasn’t for the sake of torturing you, you’d have accompanied your father to hell last night!” Qiao Ming and Sun Qian joined hands to send Su Nan into an asylum. A fire broke out later on, and Su Nan went missing. Everyone said that she died in the fire, leaving no remains behind. Several years later, she returned from abroad with her child. She had fair skin, beauty, and a net worth of over a billion. Just her appearance made every head turn. The child’s lowly gigolo father started pestering her too. Su Nan thought her child’s father was penniless, that was why he had to sell his body. For the sake of her child, she tossed one million at him and said, “Don’t work anymore. I’ll take care of you.” The man who was suddenly being kept, smiled in response. Later on, Su Nan was being pressed into a wall, and the man said, “That three million mansion you’re interested in was developed by yours truly. Be good and call me hubby. I’ll take care of you instead.” Looks like Su Nan was mistaken. The man wasn’t a gigolo. Quite the contrary, he was a legendary aristocrat, and he had been planning all of this for a long time!

A kind girl falls in love with a vicious killer. Unhinged Yuri story set in Seoul. ------ “Like a prey waiting with a trap, I missed my predator. I missed her touch in the places I’ve never been touched. I wanted to hear her sing the songs that I’ve never heard.” ------ As the blood dripped off the knife she held firmly in her pale hand, I saw my reflection in the cold blade that had just taken the life of a man. I dreamed of magical moments like this every day. Something - someone to come and free me from the suffocating monotony of normalcy. She stormed into my life brandishing death, and in the moment of madness, my heart fluttered. Then she came to my place, uninvited. I treated her wounds and fed her. She slept on my couch like a cat. We started our lives together. Death bound us like the knot of tie I fixed for her as she left for work - to kill, kill, and to kill again. I spent countless nights sitting in darkness, on my couch hugging my knees, gripped with worry and excitement. I prayed for her safe return home, but I did not pray for the souls she’d be sending to hell. But she always returned, like a stray cat coming for food in the back alley behind a restaurant. I was the cook who put out the food for her, stroked her, and gave her shelter. A stray cat. A great feline predator. She was mine and mine alone. Together we laughed, alone I cried. Together we laughed, alone I cried. But I think we also loved. I think. ------ This is a dark and twisted psychological slice-of-life romantic comedy with a sprinkle of inspiration from the noir genre. If that doesn’t make sense, it’s because it doesn’t.

The air crackled with an unseen energy as he closed the distance between them. Each deliberate step he took seemed to steal a breath her. His shadow fell over her, an eclipse that sent a shiver down her spine, not entirely from fear. When he finally halted, his presence was a palpable weight, a silent promise of something ancient and powerful. Then, his breath, cool against the delicate curve of her ear, sent a different kind of tremor through her. The husky whisper that followed was a dark melody, a dangerous invitation that both terrified and intrigued. "You don't want to know what I can do for you or how I can make you feel," he murmured, the words a silken caress that belied their potent undertones. Her pulse quickened, a frantic drum against her ribs. His nearness was a dizzying assault on her senses – the faint, earthy scent that clung to him, the unnerving intensity of his gaze that seemed to pierce through her very soul. His words hung in the air between them, heavy with unspoken possibilities, with the promise of sensations both exquisite and terrifying. It was a challenge, a dare whispered in the most intimate of ways. It spoke of a power he held, a knowledge of pleasure and perhaps pain that stretched back centuries. It hinted at a world beyond her mortal comprehension, a world she suddenly found herself inexplicably drawn to. Her breath hitched. She did want to know. A dangerous curiosity, a yearning for something unknown and forbidden, unfurled within her. The fear was still there, a cold knot in her stomach, but it was intertwined now with a strange, undeniable pull. His nearness was a magnetic force, drawing her into his orbit despite the warnings screaming in her mind. The space between them felt charged, electric, humming with a tension that was both terrifying and intoxicating. In that whispered promise, the predator and the prey were teetering on the precipice of something far more complex, a dangerous dance where desire and fear held equal sway.

In the glittering world of fashion, ambition and love clash in a fiery tale of chaos and fate. Wendy Naredo, a simple yet driven probinsyana, lands a job as an executive assistant at Rivera Clothing & Co., one of the most powerful fashion empires in the Philippines. Her quiet strength and work ethic catches the eyes of the dashing bachelor, Liam Rivera — the heir to the company — whose confidence and charm make him a favorite in both boardrooms and hearts. But standing between them is Ricci Dawnielle Yulo — a stunning beauty queen and Miss Universe alumna, who is not just Liam's fiancée but also a woman hungry for power. As the love triangle unfolds, hearts are broken and vows are made. Wendy eventually finds peace in the arms of her childhood best friend, Jace Raymund Reyes — a brilliant, innovative moreno guy who represents the quiet kind of love that never fades. Meanwhile, Liam marries Ricci, thinking it’s the right thing for the empire his father built. When the old Arnulfo Rivera dies, the corporate kingdom begins to crumble. Ricci, alongside the mysterious and flamboyant Dubai-based designer Pradesh Luxur or Armando Abueva Jr., schemes to seize full control of the Rivera empire. Their alliance is a deadly mix of lust, power and vengeance — with Wendy as their biggest threat. As Pradesh's obsession with Jace grows, his desire to destroy Wendy intensifies. Chaos erupts when Bryan, Wendy’s troubled ex-lover, returns and becomes her assailant in a desperate attempt to claim a love long lost. His actions end in tragedy. But the biggest heartbreak comes with the murder of Jace — a casualty of Ricci’s thirst for dominance. As betrayal piles upon betrayal, the truth begins to unravel. Liam discovers the web of lies spun by his wife and her ally. Ricci is convicted, Pradesh flees into a world of illusions and decadence, only to meet a brutal end at the hands of one he once toyed with. Wendy, broken by loss and haunted by everything she's survived, nearly gives up on love — even contemplating a life of solitude and faith. But Liam, transformed by pain and revelation, fights for her — not as a CEO, not as a lover scorned, but as a man willing to sacrifice everything for the woman he has always loved. In a heartfelt finale at the historic Manila Cathedral, Wendy and Liam finally tie the knot — not just as a union of hearts, but as survivors of a battlefield where love, power and destiny collided. Hearts in the Crossfire is a sweeping romantic novel that explores the depths of loyalty, the destructiveness of ambition and the redemptive power of true love.

“Part those legs for me, doll.” His deep voice sent shivers rolling down her spine and Rue shuddered as her skin grew hotter, while her stomach clenched ever more. Her mouth was dry, and when she attempted to speak, all that came out was a breathless gasp as his grip around her throat tightened. She wanted to remind him that they were in public and this was beyond scandalous, because people— their classmates, were present right now. “Who’s my good girl?” His lips were hot against her ear while his hand around her throat moved up to tangle in her hair, wrenching her head back and knocking a choked sound from deep within her. At once, his scorching lips began to litter marks over her pale throat. “I am.” “Go ahead and do as told.” He drawled, lips curling darkly and she exhaled shakily, shifting awkwardly on the teacher’s desk she was perched on by Knox, minutes ago. She was so aroused, she felt like she might go up in flames. “But there are people present with us…” Knot rose to his full height and glanced behind him for a moment, then he firmly snagged her chin and waved around the crowd. “Are any of them looking?” Truly, no one was looking- they all had their heads over their desks after Knox ordered them to, and none was peeking. “N- no… but–” He tilted her chin upward and kissed her hard, and she whined, her eyelids fluttering weakly when he pulled away. “Quit fretting, Princess. No one would dare peek, not with me present. Except they want to die, that is. Because, anyone aside from me, that gets to see you this way— with your eyes hazy with pleasure, with your cheeks flushed beautifully and your sinfully lips swollen, wet and bruised from being thoroughly kissed… don’t deserve to see another day.” ••|••|•• Slaving away from birth and being picked on by everyone for being different, Rue knew better than to ever expect anything good from life. Her fate worsened when at sixteen, she suddenly got a heat that affected every man in the pack, and since then, she was locked away for everyone’s sanity. Her horrible pack sells her off to a popular pack to be their breeder, but she discovers she was bought for a different intent— there’s something inside her, something strong and very powerful, and for that power to be harnessed, she’s to be killed. However, she is surprisingly rescued, had her heat suppressed, then in order to protect her and keep her hidden, she is disguised as a boy and enrolled into Syrulix, a popular school for supernaturals, known for their good reputation and their love for peace. Rue is certain she’d effortlessly blend in and won’t face any hitch. However, over the years, Syrulix has changed from what everyone believes it is. Now, Syrulix is a supernatural school that houses rebels, delinquents and psychopaths. The students were not only dangerous, they were violent monsters whose only goals were rising to the top and claiming ultimate control and strength. The weak couldn’t survive in a school like that, and someone like Rue—- small, weak and broken, who is too doll-like for a ‘boy’ and attracts attention without trying? She instantly knew her life was fucked. But that was before she was claimed by Knox, the most powerful Alpha prince of the school, whose name sends people falling to their knees from fright. He is as dangerous and as mad as the disturbing rumors claim. To be owned by a psychopath like this— who never takes his skull mask off, is to be doomed. How is Rue going to survive? And how is she going to successfully keep her disguise up in a school like this? Who is after her and what’s trapped inside of her? Find out!

SLOW BURN Love is a searing trail she's afraid to follow. ..... Evelina Wilson was sure of everything she wanted in life, and finding love didn't make the list. She has been scorched and scarred too much, she had shut her heart against it and and any form of its fantasies — atleast so she thought till she met him, Pete Hudson, her 'dare kiss'. All it took was one dare to kiss the lips of a stranger at the bachelorette party she had been forced to attend, to be exposed to a world of unending temptations. She wants to stay away from him, but he has her in a snare. How far can she fight off her temptations, before she gives in to the fantasies she's scared of? What would it take for her to heal and how long will he wait? EXCERPT ******** Alexandra and Christopher. Christopher caught the glint of excitement and expectations in her eyes. "I still think you're a very foolish girl to want this..want me." He told her, and Alexa daringly tipped her chin at him. "Why? Because you think you're going to hurt me?" "No, silly girl, because I will do more than hurt you. I'm not a good man for you, and you deserve better. Far better than me. And while I'd hate to have someone touch your lips again," he grazed his thumb against her soft lips. "it's a truth that has to be told." Unaware of herself, Alexa inched closer to him as if spirited by something unknown. Her face lifted to his till he felt her minty breath on his chin and her fingers brushing against it. "I do not doubt there's better out there for me, Christopher—" She muttered, and his brows twitched before narrowing to a knot. "Yes, there a few men out there who'd care about me and my feelings more than you'd ever be capable of. Of course, they're smarter, more handsome —" "Thread with caution, Alexa," He darkly drawled, and Alexa held back the smile about to spread across her face. She continued. "Yes, there is a line of perfect men out there, maybe a short one, because I doubt such precious jewels would be abundant. They have to be rare." "Alexandra!" "But despite this possibility of good men being out there, I still want you, Christopher. Yes, you'll burn me, but I've had my battle scars already. If this will be my end, then I pick you to be the fire that ruins me because I'll have it no other way." "Alexandra," He husked, breathing out her name as her dainty hands cupped his face and pulled him down till he touched her lips with his one more time. "And just so you know, you're not safe from me because I'll hurt you too, as that is all I've ever known, Christopher. I'll take from you till there's nothing left of you take." She said, trying her best to use the very words he had said to her over that kitchen island a few days ago. While her voice lacked the vigor he had possessed when he said those words to her, she meant every word of it. They both wanted each other, so they would take whatever they could from the other. She inched closer, and Christopher let her do as she pleased with him. She teased him with her not-so-naive lips, and he groaned. He gripped his hand around hers when she broke the kiss and tried to pull away. He tried controlling his strength as he roughly pulled her back, slamming her slender body against his. "I'm going to brand you mine. All mine, Alexandra. And I want you to remember it was you who wanted this. You." He told her as if wanting to drill the words into her skull, so she would never forget. "Alexandra?" He called when she stared silently at him. Nodding, she agreed. "I won't forget." A steady romance with a lot of sweetness. NOTE: I WRITE SLOW BURN.
