Is Wonder By Rj Palacio

Hitch Hiker was an ordinary man who lives with his younger sisters. His life is extremely boring and he's sick of it. Then a mysterious woman appeared and changed their lives, forever.

She was a healer, sworn to save lives. He was a killer, sworn to protect his empire by any means. When Dr. Aira’s quiet world collides with Adrian Valente — the cold, dangerous mafia boss feared by all — she is pulled into a game of blood and secrets she never wanted to play. Bound by a debt she can’t escape, Aira must navigate the shadows of his ruthless world, even as her heart betrays her. Can love bloom between innocence and sin? Or will their hearts be forever tied by chains stronger than fate itself?

Seraphina Moon, an orphan desperate for a family of her own, thought her last chance at motherhood was finally within reach. But then, bam! One accidental pregnancy later, and she’s not just expecting, she’s carrying the heir of Kaelen Thorne. And Kaelen? He’s not your average dad-to-be. He’s an enigmatic billionaire Alpha werewolf, and this baby is everything to him—like, the key to his entire future and his pack’s. To protect her child, Seraphina gets dragged into Kaelen’s dangerous world, forced to play the part of his adoring Luna in a high-stakes game of shifter politics that could easily get her killed. The wildest part? This whole charade, this fake relationship, starts to feel disturbingly real. There’s an undeniable, raw fire sparking between them, and beneath Kaelen’s harsh, dominant Alpha exterior, Seraphina glimpses a man who’s fiercely protective and surprisingly tender. But there’s a massive problem: he’s a shifter, she’s human, and he’s destined for a true werewolf mate, meaning their intense connection seems doomed from the start. With assassins on her trail, Kaelen’s scornful ex-mates making her life hell, and the shadows of her own past creeping in, Seraphina is caught. Can she navigate this treacherous game and guard her heart from the Alpha who commands her body’s surrender, or will the very man she’s forced to deceive be the only one who can save her? And could he ever truly choose a human, even if she’s carrying his precious heir?

Ayden wakes up in a cold, dark dungeon—surrounded by snarling monsters, pools of blood, and strangers whose faces he doesn’t recognize. A strange voice echoes inside his head, whispering rules he doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know why he’s here, or how he got trapped in this nightmare. All he knows is one thing: he has to survive. And somehow, find a way back home. But as the terror closes in, he uncovers a power buried deep within—a power to defy death itself.

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ... Just when Kaya thought her story had finally reached its bitter end, the universe—no, god himself—decided to throw in one last, ridiculous twist. “Wife… wife, didn’t you say you were gonna eat me? Why’d you stop?” A snake beast, ridiculously charming and glowing like some immortal fantasy, clung to her, eyes gleaming. Another voice interrupted. “Shut up! My wife wants to cuddle me now—” A sparrow beastman leapt into her arms, like that made any sense. “Hic… wife, don’t you want me anymore?” A panda-like beastman sat beside her, huge, sniffly, and wronged like a child abandoned at a festival. Sitting in the middle of all this, Kaya was absolutely dumbfounded. ‘When the hell did all of this even start?’

Since ancient times, there have been whispers of a mystical realm known as the Spirit Realm. Throughout the ages, scholars and poets have offered countless interpretations of its existence.

Dante Moretti, heir to the ruthless Moretti syndicate, is used to handling threats with blood and silence. But when Ariella crashes into his world, something in her makes him hesitate.

In a world where loyalty is everything and love is a liability, can they survive each other… or are they bound to burn?

The air in the secluded passage crackled with a tension that was both palpable and suffocating. Arin, her back pressed against the cold stone wall, watched as Roan stalked towards her, his eyes burning with a mixture of rage and a chillingly possessiveness. It had been months since he had cast her aside, months since his words had shattered her world, yet the memory of his rejection remained as sharp as shattered glass. He had found her alone, a rare moment of solitude in the bustling citadel, and he had seized the opportunity to confront her. Jealousy, a venomous and unfamiliar serpent, coiled within him, fueled by the sight of her arrival alongside Alpha Zayan. Though he would never admit it, the unexpected image of her with anyone, talk more an Alpha gnawed at his pride, a stark reminder of his judgment. "So," he began, his voice a low, menacing growl, "the whore returns." Arin's chin lifted, her eyes flashing with a defiant fire. She refused to cower before him, to allow him the satisfaction of seeing her break. "I came with Alpha Zayan," she corrected, her voice steady, "at his invitation." Roan scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer. "An invitation," he echoed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "How convenient. I suppose you've been… entertaining him in exchange for his protection?" He stepped closer, his imposing figure casting a long, intimidating shadow over her. "You always were good at selling yourself, weren’t you? First me, then whoever else was willing to take you." He watched her, his eyes filled with a cruel satisfaction, as if he expected her to crumble beneath his insults. He wanted to see her break, to see her reduced to the trembling, humiliated woman he had left behind. But Arin had changed. The pain of his rejection had forged a resilience within her, a strength she never knew she possessed. She had learned to value her own worth, to define herself outside of his judgment. A slow, deliberate smile spread across her lips, a smile that held no warmth, only a chillingly detached amusement. "I would rather be a whore in a cheap bar," she said, her voice laced with a quiet contempt, "than be your whore, King Roan." His eyes widened, a flicker of surprise momentarily breaking through his mask of arrogance. He had expected tears, pleas, perhaps even a desperate attempt to defend her honor. He had not expected defiance.
