Chiara has never been wanted. Everyone thought of her as a burden and waste of space all her life. When an opportunity presented itself to prove her worth, she eagerly grabbed it. Little did she know that her choice would strip her freedom away and chain her to be the wife and property of Adrian, Alpha of the Galway Pack. A loveless marriage and a cruel husband she can't escape away from, finding her fated mate is now a distant fantasy for her. That was until another alpha bulldozed his way into her life and forced her to take the reigns of her fate once more. Lance is a rogue alpha on the run for over a decade. Blamed for the death of his former pack, he tried to start a new life away from the city and other wolves. However, he's eventually caught by the Galway Pack and offered a second chance as a personal bodyguard for the Alpha's wife. It is a sin for him to set his eyes on Chiara, much more to fall in love with the pack alpha's mate, but his wolf and heart have other things to say. An omega in a gilded cage and a rogue alpha chained by his past sins... can Chiara and Lance find the courage to carve their own paths, or will they simply be swept away by the raging river of fate?

Melinoe Karma had everything planned-graduate, pass the board exams, and become a nurse. But fate had other plans. On the night of her graduation, a rejected admirer pushed her onto the train tracks. Yet, instead of death, time froze, and an unknown voice granted her a second chance. Waking up in an unfamiliar world called Eden, a vast land ruled by beastmen and ancient bloodlines, Melinoe finds herself more than just a lost stranger-she is a rare pureblood human, a being of legend and power. But in this world, rarity means value, and value means being hunted, owned, or worse-sold. Captured by ruthless merchants and thrown into a cage with a mysterious black leopard, Melinoe's survival depends on more than just luck. As she navigates through Eden's kingdoms filled with powerful rulers-each vying for her existence-she must uncover the secrets of her arrival, forge alliances, and resist the intoxicating pull of the beastmen who desire her for more than just her rarity. In a world where beasts rule and humans are myths, will she become a queen or a captive? _____ Author's Note: Hi there! I just wanted to share that I'm writing this because I couldn't find a novel that really clicked with my unique tastes (sometimes). I hope that others will find something to enjoy in it too!

Casmi's life has never taken a 360° like this. The king took one look at her and that was it......... *I won't let you go* He was her anger, She was his placidity, She became fire, He became her water. My Heart ..... She regreted working in the palace. .................................................................. Excerpt... His golden eyes stared into her midnight blue eyes, his strong veins hands caging her. Stars danced in the sky, the moonlight cast a soft glow on her soft and delicate face. " I love you Senyora" He said nibbling her ear. Shivering from the inside and taking in a sharp breath she replied. " I don't love you" He paused in his movements. And continued nibbling her ear sending all over her body. " You're still mine" " I am not your property" " But you still my love" ..

Angel thought the world would be hers to explore when she turned twenty. She can finally be free from the gilded cage her overprotective father built for her. But she was mistaken! Her 20th birthday marked the day she lost everything, including the freedom she so desperately craved. It was the day she fell into the hands of her father's enemy, to atone for his sins. Leoric has meticulously planned his revenge for many years. When that day came, he thought he had everything under control. The man who killed his father was behind bars, and the empire he painstakingly built fell into his hands ... including his only daughter. He planned to force his new bride to entertain his friends on their wedding night. That should force her to a status lower than an escort, which should humiliate her and shame her father. That should usher her into hell. His perfect plan of revenge was ruined by a mysterious mishap. They found themselves stranded in a desert in an unfamiliar world after their yacht was sucked into a vortex. Later, they discovered that they were in a parallel universe ruled by dark forces. The only way to return is to offer a tribute to the country's supreme leader—a virgin bride! Where would they get a virgin? Wait, isn't Angel a virgin? As Leoric and his companions traveled across the treacherous landscapes of the enigmatic Astralis, he found himself falling for his wife, who seemed to have transformed after falling into the sea on their wedding night. On a starry night on top of the peak of Mount Anabu, Leoric gazed tenderly at his wife, who looked ethereal, radiated a mystical aura, and whispered... "To hell with the supreme leader and going back. You can only be mine! Let us rule Astralis!"

"Erebus System activated." The cold, mechanical voice rang in the void, sending a shudder through Tristan’s disembodied form. "[ERROR: Mission parameters… rewriting.] Processing… Processing… Task updated. Host, you are now required to infiltrate Lorenzo Valkyrie's inner circle. New directive: Seduction protocol initiated. Climb into Lorenzo's bed. Gain his trust. Do not resist. Rest assured, he will not harm you." Lorenzo Valkyrie. A name whispered in fear. A man who ruled his world with an iron grip. And the moment Tristan set foot in his domain, piercing golden eyes locked onto him. A smirk curled on the man’s lips, dark and knowing. “You finally came.” Lorenzo’s voice was smooth, possessive, like a predator savoring its prey. “I’ve been waiting for you, Tristan.” — When Tristan's desperate attempt to escape his hopeless life ends in an unexpected revival, he awakens to a new nightmare—bound to the enigmatic Erebus System. Forced into a mission beyond his control, he is thrown from world to world, each more treacherous than the last, until he finally reaches his destination. His task? To change Lorenzo Valkyrie’s mind about entering a brutal underground war—a fight that could reshape the balance of power. But just as Tristan begins to navigate the deadly game of deception, the Erebus System glitches, rewriting his mission. New directive: Get close. Closer. Now, Tristan must seduce the most dangerous man in this world, earning his trust and slipping into his bed—with the system’s cold assurance that Lorenzo won’t harm him. But as golden eyes burn into his soul, as strong hands cage him in, Tristan isn’t so sure. Because Lorenzo Valkyrie doesn’t just want him close. He wants to own him. Can Tristan survive the shadows of his past and the fire of Lorenzo’s obsession, or will he become just another pawn in this deadly game?

Mature content: ‘You are not my craving my dear, you are my obsession.’ “ She was our light and we were her darkness—- and just like every opposites we were obsessed with the idea of having her.” The Evil Empress, the one whose life was filled with debauchery and betrayal to her mates was supposed to die tonight. Being the Empress of the Dragniere Empire and the mother to all dragons, she was supposed to live a life where she lived for her people and the country, her exquisite powers were alone enough to make her the ruler of the entire continent and with her face that was as beautiful as a shining pearl in the moonlight, with hair as fine as Pima, and her curves so luscious that any man would have died of desire with just one glimpse. With powers that were beyond humans, shrouded with the air of aristocracy and with a personality that was as cruel as Medusa, The Evil Empress continued to rule over the people of her Empire with her tyranny. Brianna Cage, nicknamed ‘ Bree, The hellion’ for the convenience of her acquaintances was a rowdy young woman. She had a fierce sense of justice, she was dependable and despite not being the most beautiful woman in her department, she was sought out by a lot of men because of her alluring nature, she rejected them all because in truth she was in love with —— all the Daddies in the comic books she has read. Behind her aloof and dependable persona resided a Weeb who was always cheering on the characters of her favourite books. One day she came upon the book ‘ The Maid’s route of survival of the fittest’ and decided to read it just for the heck of it since the Empress shared the same name as her. But soon Bree found out that the Empress was the Villainess, she even betrayed her mates one by one and what was even more gut-wrenching she was killed by her mates! All for the sake of the maid who reincarnated into the book with a system to help her. Bree though angry decided to throw the book at the back of her head but oddly enough the book vanished and Bree found herself waking up in the room of the Evil Empress just three weeks before she was executed by her mates! Startled but not having the time to freak out, Bree started to take care of everything that the Evil Empress has done wrong. She thought that she would be able to live a peaceful life away from her bloodthirsty mates who didn’t seem too fond of her. But unfortunately, things didn’t go as she planned as five sets of eyes fell on her despite all the precautions she has taken against them. And once those eyes locked on her, they refused to let go of their possessiveness. The Evil Empress was theirs, to begin with who dares take her away?

A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne. Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the "Black Knight," a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows. Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye. Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair? One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Guided by memories of a past life, he navigates Sagana with a pragmatic spirit that views the world as a puzzle to solve, where even the innocent can become collateral.

I refuse to inherit a legacy that cages me."   While his father hopes he'll become the traditional family head, Ali's path diverges, supported by his mother's understanding. His journey begins with a simple, dangerous premise. He will uncover the world's secrets, with or without collateral damage. Innocents may fall, alliances may shatter, but Ali's curiosity remains unbroken, a force as cold and calculating as the mana that flows through Sagana. He is neither hero nor villain, but a force of nature driven by an insatiable need to understand.

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago. Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance. Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more. Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred. The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land. Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky. They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way. They were all prisoners. One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life. He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles. He wanted to become a star. To return to Above the Sky. "I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates." "I just want to go Above the Sky." ——Ian.

"They say every family has its secrets, but mine just married into the mafia." I didn’t ask for this life—didn’t ask for the luxurious cage, the whispered threats, or the blood-soaked power plays that come with the Stathoulis name. All I wanted was to finish my film degree and live on my own terms. But when my mother got engaged to Peter Stathoulis, a retired don of the Greek mafia, my world completely turned upside down. Now, I’m stuck in their large mansion, caught between family loyalty and a world I could barely understand. And then there’s him—Andrea Stathoulis. Peter Stahoulis son and the ruthless heir, commanding, intimidating. He’s everything I’ve been warned to stay away from, yet I can’t just seem to escape his shadow… or his piercing gaze. But the deeper I dig into the secrets of this family, the more dangerous it becomes. A betrayal I never saw coming, a kidnapping that leaves me powerless. And Andrea —possessive, infuriating, and un​for​tu​nate​ly the only one who can save me. I’m not even sure what scares me more—the enemies circling closer, or the man I might be falling for.

She was always reckless—climbing castle walls, sneaking into town, chasing danger like it was her birthright. But the day they decided to chain her with marriage, she didn't just rebel—she became feral. And when a cage threatened to close around her, she did what she did best. She ran.
