Synopsis Liana, a humble omega raised in silence, awakens on her 18th birthday with the scent of her fated mate — the son of the Alpha. But the bond isn't simple. The Alpha has triplet sons, and all three begin to feel the pull toward her. Thrust into the center of political tension and pack rivalry, Liana must confront betrayal, ancient magic, and a forgotten prophecy. As she finds herself entangled with Kael, the stoic firstborn, Jace, the charming troublemaker, and Rowan, the cursed empath, Liana discovers she is more than she was told. Her wolf is the reincarnation of a Luna lost to betrayal. Her bloodline is royal, hidden in shadow. And her destiny is not to choose a mate but to unite a broken world. With Celeste, the Beta's daughter, unraveling in jealousy and Darius, a rogue Alpha with vengeance in his heart, threatening war, Liana must rise. Not as an omega. Not as a mate. But as the Luna fated to reshape the future.

He was supposed to live a quiet life. Elias Clarke is a recessive omega… technically. His heats are rare, his hormones are mild, and his genetic profile is so muted that he could pass for beta. That’s fine with him. At 27, he is halfway through his PhD, teaches engineering part-time, and enjoys the kind of anonymity that keeps him away from the political games of those born with true divine potential. But when his best friend and roommate, Ruoxi Numen, disappears without a trace, Elias becomes the only one asking questions no one wants to answer. Her family, descended from the last god born three hundred years ago, calls it a “private matter.” Her apartment remains untouched, with her jewelry, tablet, and expensive shoes near the door. Then Victor Numen, her older brother who was crippled in a divine accident, reappears in public. Smiling. Watching Elias too closely. Something happened to Ruoxi. And Elias might be the only person who can figure out what.

Er hat noch einmal von vorne angefangen und ist erneut in dieses "lebende Spiel" eingestiegen, um sein eigenes Schicksal in die Hand zu nehmen. Diesmal wird er nicht von anderen kontrolliert werden. Als ehemaliger Schwertkönig der Stufe 200 wird er in diesem Leben zu einem höheren Gipfel aufsteigen. Methoden zum Geldverdienen! Strategien zur Eroberung von Dungeons! Legendäre Quests! Fundorte von Ausrüstung! Unentdeckte Kampftechniken! Selbst die Geheimnisse, von denen die Beta-Tester nichts wussten, kennt er alle. Massive Kriege, Fortschritte im Leben, der Eintritt in die Gottheit, ein Schwert, das den Gipfel erreicht - die Legende eines Mannes, der zum Schwertgott wird, hat begonnen.

He mocked the omegaverse. Now he’s living it—with a baby on the way. Souta Tachibana was just your average, overworked office drone—until his BL-obsessed coworker introduced him to a trashy omegaverse romance novel. Curious (and a little horrified), Souta read it for laughs. But then he died in an accident. Now, he wakes up in the body of Lucien d’Armoire, a minor noble in the empire of Aetheria. No plot relevance. No destined lovers. Just a quiet, boring life as a background beta. Until one morning, he throws up into a chamber pot… and his doctor says something unthinkable: “Baron d’Armoire, you’re pregnant.” Which is impossible. Because he's male. And straight! And because Betas can’t get pregnant. …Right? Except Lucien is no Beta. He’s a rare male Omega. Apparently, during one reckless, drunken night, Lucien slept with an Alpha. Now he's pregnant, confused, and definitely not ready to be a father. To make matters worse—he doesn’t even know who the father is.

Recomeçando mais uma vez, ele entrou novamente neste "jogo vivo" para controlar seu próprio destino. Desta vez, ele não será controlado por outros. Anteriormente o Rei da Espada de Nível 200, ele chegará a um pico mais alto nesta vida. Métodos para ganhar dinheiro! Estratégias para conquistar masmorras! Missões Lendárias! Locais de queda de equipamento! Técnicas de batalha desconhecidas! Até os segredos que os Testadores Beta desconheciam, ele sabe de todos eles. Guerras massivas, avanço da vida, ingressando na divindade, espada alcançando o pico; uma lenda de um homem se tornando um Deus da Espada começou.

... “You told me you didn’t love her,” Ravyn whispered, her voice shaking. “And now she’s carrying your child?” The Alpha stared at her, cold. Unbothered. “She’s my betrothed. It was bound to happen.” The words felt like a knife straight through her ribs. She had slept with him last night. Let him touch her. Let him hold her like she was the only woman he’d ever want. And now another woman carried his child? Stupid. She’d been so stupid. ... “You can’t forcefully mate with me,” Ravyn said, smiling without warmth. “Unless you’re ready to drop dead.” The Beta’s warm green-golden eyes burned, his claws flexing. “I will make you mine,” he growled. “If not today—then soon. And when I do…” He stepped forward, watching the way her legs pressed tightly together. “I’ll tear through your mind until there’s no one left in it but me.” Ravyn swallowed. But she didn’t flinch. Let him try. She’d rip him apart before she let him win. ... “You’re the reason my mother was taken,” Ravyn said, voice like venom. “I did it to save mine,” he snapped. Her fingers curled into fists. “I should rip you to pieces.” “Then do it,” he whispered. “Because I’d do it all over again.” ... Three different men. Three different roles. An Alpha, a Beta, and a Rogue. And then there was her—a witch who hated werewolves with every bone in her body. So what do you mean she was fated to three of them? She came to the Court to find answers about her missing mother. She stayed to kill the monsters responsible. But the real betrayal? She fell into the arms of the very men she swore to destroy. She should’ve never danced at the castle. Should’ve never worn that mask. Should’ve never let herself feel. Because now, she was trapped. Bound by fate that states: > If she tries to break the mate bond—she dies. If they force her to accept it—they die. And still, they want her.

Born to a powerful Alpha and a mother no one speaks of, Dwyn Duskthorn has always been different. When her fated mate and longtime crush Kael, the Beta heir, publicly rejects her and chooses her best friend as his Mate, Dwyn is given a chance to explore the human realm. Fame shields her heart, until she crosses paths with Jaerin Seo, the golden boy of K-pop and the heir of a rival werewolf pack with secrets of his own. He's calm, unreadable, dangerously charming — and unmistakably her second-chance mate. Now caught between two worlds — the fame she’s built, the pain she escaped, and the mate bond that refuses to be ignored — Dwyn must decide: Will she surrender to fate again? Or will she write her own legend?

A literal ‘red flag’ in a world that sees her as a threat. Excerpt: “You shouldn’t be here,” Zenon growled, his voice low, eyes dark with conflict as he leaned away. Elira looked up at him, lips parted and swollen. “Then why did you kiss me?” “I couldn’t resist you.” His arms tightened around her waist instead of letting go. “Then don’t,” she said, without breaking the gaze. “Remember, you asked for it.” Zenon’s eyes darkened with desire as his lips found the perfect spot on her neck. --- Elira Shaw was never meant to shine. Born an omega to a once-respected Beta bloodline, she’s lived as a ghost in her uncle's home, the acting Beta of the Ashfang Pack. After her parents' mysterious deaths when she was thirteen, Elira became little more than a servant to her aunt and cousin, Regina, the flawless Luna-to-be, groomed to marry one of the Alpha's sons. With no rank, no power, and no name worth remembering, Elira has long accepted her fate. But her fate transforms on her 18th birthday — the night of the grand mating ceremony. Not one, but the wolves of all three of Alpha Cyprus Ashford’s sons recognize her as their mate. The pack erupts into chaos. Regina's engagement plans crumble in fury. And Elira, the despised orphan, is suddenly the most important wolf alive.

“You want to know about the mate bond we share?” His words stopped me midway as I turned around to face him. I didn’t say a word as I felt my heart palpitate in anticipation. “Beta Perez, I…” Before I could speak, he continued. “I have decided to never let a woman into my life, Miss. James. I have learned long back that they only serve as a distraction. Why would I need a mate if I could have any women I want? Am I right, Miss. James?” He asked me as I felt my eyes burn, but I held back my tears. “A mate is your better half, Beta Perez.” I choked out the words when he let out a humorless laugh. “According to me, you need a mate to satisfy your needs and maybe an heir in the long run. I think I can buy that with some money, Miss. James.” “Don’t you feel the mate bond, Beta Perez?” I asked him, but he didn’t answer. “I would have at least considered mating with you if you held a rank, Miss. James. But I don’t think I want a woman who is a nobody with a lonely mother and a runaway father.” I felt my chest rise and fall in anger while something broke within me. A tense silence engulfed us as we stared at one another. Join us in this journey where Aurora and Zander find love again as sparks ignite between them and desire crackles in the air, the tension builds, pushing them closer together. Will Zander’s feelings toward the mate bond transform as he grapples with the chemistry between them, or will fear of another heartbreak drive him to reject her? The future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: their destinies are intertwined in ways they never anticipated.

After her rebirth, Rita vows not to repeat her past mistakes. This time, her first priority is to stop her brother, who is about to marry into the Lopez family, from participating in the initial game beta test. In her previous life, she was deceived by this scheming brother until her dying breath. It was only at the end that she realized she was merely a villain in a male-oriented novel about a live-in son-in-law, with all the malice and manipulation orchestrated by him behind the scenes. In this life, Rita decides to change the rules of the game. She will stay in the shadows and seize all the opportunities meant for the male and female leads. By participating in the beta test and re-selecting her abilities, she systematically dismantles the protagonists’ advantages, all while making them believe she’s on their side. Rita has no intention of harming innocent people, nor is she a selfless saint. In this game, she works with the authorities for mutual benefit, all to achieve her ultimate goal—becoming the true master of her fate.

"I reincarnated into some trashy omegaverse novel... and I'm the side-side character?!" Rin liked three things in life: his phone, his privacy, and not being railed in public by hormonal Alphas. So when he wakes up in a reverse harem book world written by his sister, as an 'omega pretending to be a beta' side character with no plot armour, no dignity, and no fucking clue what to do next, things go downhill fast. His scent? Irresistible. His attitude? Foul. His new life? A magnet for yandere freaks with dicks the size of trauma. His new mission is to survive, avoid the female lead and return back to his world and to do that, he had to keep a low profile. Pretending to be a beta was supposed to keep him safe and send the male characters far away from him. Too bad his pheromones have other plans... and certain possessive Alphas weren't buying his 'Beta' lies. Now powerful Alphas are circling, each more dangerous than the last... and one already thinks Rin belongs to him. Too bad Rin has zero intention of being anyone's obedient little omega because he's straight and not gay! "I swear, I'm not into men... It just got hard on its own," You've got to explain harder than that, Rin.

To the outside world, he looks like a mysterious genius with an unconventional path. But behind the scenes? It’s just one guy struggling with a broken interface and enemies way out of his league.
