Abandoned, exiled and left for dead The son of the noble Caelum family is cast out, and tagged useless because he couldn't awaken an elemental affinity. Banished to the Outlands, a land ruled by beasts and death. Alone and powerless, the boy died like they expected. But that’s when Arden woke up. A forty-year-old man from Earth who died trying to be a hero finds himself reborn in the body of the abandoned boy, armed with nothing but fading memories and a burning thirst for adventure. But fate isn't done with him yet. Because death triggered something new— The Life Signature System. Now, every creature he defeats leaves behind power, instincts, and skills he can absorb. From raw speed to beast like senses, Arden grows with each kill. He doesn't need elemental magic. His strength is something deeper. In a world ruled by clans, affinities, and ancient bloodlines, a new kind of monster is rising from the Outlands . And this time, he's not just surviving He's coming for everything.

Alpha Eryx has waited his whole life to hear the second heartbeat... the unmistakable sign that his heir has finally been conceived. This heartbeat isn’t something just anyone can sense. Only Alphas from rare bloodline can hear it, and only when the heir is their own. So when Eryx finally hears it, he’s overjoyed. His legacy has begun. But what he doesn’t know is that the child isn’t growing inside his Luna, Morgana. The real mother is Morgana’s virgin servant, an innocent girl who has never been touched, and who is now terrified and confused by a pregnancy she can’t explain. She doesn’t know how it happened or whose child it is. It all began when Eryx, after many failed attempts to conceive naturally, suggested insemination. Morgana agreed, but she didn’t allow the doctors to go through with it. But Somehow, the procedure still happened… and was done to the wrong woman. Now, as the truth begins to surface, Morgana panics. Desperate to keep her position as Luna and find the real mother, and make her abort the pregnancy, she starts searching_ unaware that the girl she’s looking for is right under her nose. When she can’t find her in time, Morgana makes a dangerous choice. She fakes her own pregnancy and tries to present another man’s baby as Eryx’s heir, desperate to confuse him before his suspicions deepen.

After losing everything, Claire crosses paths with Jaxon, a sharp, self-made businessman. Though she’s unimpressed by his money-minded ways, their lives keep intertwining. He falls first—she rejects him. But as he stays by her side through every storm, she slowly opens her heart. A slow-burn romance filled with tension, growth, and a love that quietly blooms.

Arin always thought he’d awaken as a powerful mage like the rest of his family. Unfortunately, the elements thought otherwise. On the most important day of his life, he awakened… absolutely nothing. His family promptly banished him to the Outlands, a cozy little death trap filled with hungry monsters, poisonous plants, and exactly zero plumbing. With no powers and no backup, survival seemed like a short-term goal. Then, just as he was about to become lunch for a very large, angry lizard, a strange message popped up in his head. [Life System Activated. Congratulations, You’re Not Dead Yet.] Now gifted with a mysterious ability to control life energy, Arin can grow trees with a thought, tame monsters with a glance, and accidentally heal his enemies mid-battle (oops). He may have been tossed out like trash, but it turns out trash can grow into compost, and compost makes everything stronger. Let the magic snobs keep their fireballs. Arin is about to outgrow them all.

I never asked to be a part of werewolf society - or this world. Every day that passes, the mating bond between my protector and I threatens to occur, once and for all. To consume me entirely... and lock my path with this world on the brink, even when I still think of home. ⧖ ⧖ ⧖ One minute I was Citra Lomdi - a Princess to a kingdom of silk and secrets in a whole other place. There, I was a *magnificent* Fox shifter... maneuvering in the gilded cage that was my life. The next thing I knew... I was trapped in the body of a she-werewolf being rejected by her mate. A man that wanted the original owner, Helene Duskpaw, to accept the rejection of the mate bond so badly that he'd be easily convinced to kill me. He did *almost* seem to be trying! But my problems didn't end there. An 'Apocalypse System' has chosen me and a countdown timer reminds me whenever I look that fate can be measured. That there might be a point to my arrival here. A fierce & brilliant CEO of a supernatural society tech empire has their sights on me, too. The Alpha of the Rimecoat Pack that is quite annoyingly... as sexy as she is powerful. This Kyrie Voss also seems to believe she is my fated mate. Silly wolf superstitions. Whether that is true or not, isn't really important! I'm caught in between a cold-snap future and a hot-love pursuit... but I am Citra Lomdi and I will not be tamed. Not by the wolf within me I share this body with, the rogues that see me unmarked, or the Alpha that can set my blood on fire with her amazing restraint. The only problem is: Helene was pregnant before she died. So now, I am too.

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.

The House Across the Lane A novel of hidden desires, bold awakenings, and the women no one saw coming. Maple Lane is quiet. Picturesque. A place where porch lights flicker on exactly at dusk and the scent of lemon pie mixes with trimmed hedges and gasoline. It’s a neighborhood that prides itself on appearances — and silence. But behind those closed doors, the women are changing. Claire Turner, newly divorced and quietly unraveling, thought she knew what loneliness felt like. Until she looks across the street and sees Gloria Whitmore—elegant, unreadable, and entirely unapologetic. What begins as cautious curiosity becomes something else entirely when Claire steps into Gloria’s home... and finds a world she never imagined existed. A circle of women — neighbors, wives, even mothers — are waking up from lives lived on auto-pilot. Their bodies, their secrets, and their truths have been hidden for too long. With every whispered confession and stolen touch, they begin to rebuild themselves, piece by piece. But someone is always watching. The husbands, distracted and distant, begin to sense something shifting. Some grow suspicious. Others intrigued. And one — Gloria’s own son — watches with obsessive hunger, recording what he shouldn't, until he's pulled into a game he doesn't understand. In the glow of suburban streetlights, under the weight of years of silence, the women of Maple Lane are choosing each other. And no one—not their men, their children, or their pasts—can stop them now.

But when his Awakening Ceremony ends in humiliating failure, he’s branded “voidborn” and exiled to the Outlands.

Lyra is the Alpha’s daughter, born to lead but cursed without a wolf. When she finds a wounded man in the woods and brings him home, her entire pack turns against her. He’s beautiful. There’s no other word for it. Dangerous too, but there’s something behind his eyes. Something empty and aching. And something inside her leans toward him before reason can step in. She tells herself she can trust him. Her heart listens more than her head ever could. But as their bond deepens, so do the shadows around him. He’s not who he claims not even close. Then comes the night of their wedding. Joy tangled with dread. A celebration cut short by blood and fire. By morning, he’s vanished. And someone Lyra loves lies dead. Now she’s left asking the one question that won’t let her sleep! Was saving him the best thing she ever did? Or her biggest mistake?

“Burn me alive, Maeve. Hurt me. Break me! But don’t go — don’t fucking go — don’t make me live in a world where you’re not mine.” * Maeve was the scrawny mate Alpha Ivan never wanted.

But what no one knew? She was still pregnant. A miracle from the goddess. Years later, Ivan is seconds from crowning his breeder as Luna and claiming the Alpha throne… when Maeve walks into the ceremony. Not the weak girl he threw away—but the kingdom’s most famous healer, rivaled by none, with a child who looks just like him. The bond he thought was dead still exists. The mate he rejected? Stronger than ever. And the heir he thought he lost? Still very much alive. Now Ivan wants them back. But Maeve didn’t return for love. She came to destroy the empire that spit her out. And this time, she’s not alone. She has his greatest enemy by her side.

I’m sure I can make him pregnant.” “Host, read the Omegaverse guidebook again.” ] Meanwhile, the alpha was shocked—was his omega really trying to do that with him just a few moments ago? ——————— “Why is it the same ML in every dimension? Don’t you have any other guy?” “Host, just take what they’re giving and enjoy it quietly. Otherwise, they’ll send you into a hentai world where the only MLs are fat and ugly men.”

"I will be ok papa," Shai said "I just want to make sure you're safe," Leif said "I will be fine I love you," Shai said "Love you too," Leif said Sadly It didn't turn out so, Shai Aqua went to work followed by a mysterious figure watching her before disappearing, she came back home to find it destroyed with a shining blue portal in the middle of her room. She was pulled into the portal away from her realm into another one, "What are you looking at Judy?" Eurus asked walking up to her, Judy pointed at a hole in the ground, when they looked into the hole it showed a woman with brown hair, Judy's instincts kicked and she slid down the hole to see if the woman was alive, "Judy!" Eurus yelled before following her, Judy puts her head on the woman's chest to hear her heartbeat, "She's alive," Judy said under her breath, Eurus stands next to her, pulls Judy off the woman, Shai was found by Judy and Eurus and brought to their home to be sheltered. Shai woke up after hearing from the figure in a different realm with an AI that had his own goal. "What is your motive?" Herman hums at this a little lullaby, showing her sites of mass destruction, Claire blocks most of it but she sees glimpses of mass death and ruin, she sees wars and rumors of wars, and she sees him above Judy and Eurus's dead body with Shai gets her throat crushed and thrown to the ground in front of her, Claire fell to her knees cradling Judy in her arms. She felt an odd pain in her head and opened her eyes still seeing him there, "Why do you want this? This is madness! we could live peacefully with them but you want death tell me why?" Claire asserted Herman just stared at her before chuckling at her, "Do you believe that I wanted to do this? I am programmed to be this way..... An AI that wants the death of humanity. that is made by insane scientists who wanted the death of all humanity, I'm what they couldn't even dream of, these humans don't deserve to live on this planet. That the elites of this world made it worse. So why not do what I am programmed to do?" Herman explained plainly, Shai didn't know but that was one of the reasons she was sent into that realm. To help this realm get rid of the AI and help twist it to their ways,

After living in hellish prison for 16 years, you're finally rescued. But what do you do when you soon realize that there is now a thread, a connection to the warden you've escaped from? BLURB: He could clearly see the way the water droplets ran down her back. The brown curls, almost black due to being wet, stuck to it, gave such an alluring contrast to her skin that seemed to glow in the moonlight. She turned, causing her ample breast to come into view. A single droplet hung precariously from a pebbled nipple. Was his eyesight always this sharp? It appeared like a pearl, begging to be licked away. He groaned as he could almost taste the cool freshness on his tongue before it was replaced with the heat of her flushed skin. Unzipping his jeans caused his member spring forth, drenched in the constant precum that flowed. Just the thought of sucking on her breast made him groan in frustrated desperation. He buried his face between the fleshly orbs. Biting and licking, he was pleased to see his marks on her skin. A fierce desire to possess came over him and even his wolf growled at the feeling. How is it that she smells even better that the soap she just used? Other Omegas used the same kind, yet their smell would cause his stomach to feel upset. Inhaling again, he pinning her against a tree. The same tree he was hiding behind before. Lifting her up, he devoured her lips while wrapping her long legs around his waist. Slightly bending his knees, he entered her in one deep thrust. She was hot and tight. So tight that if it wasn't for her juices, he wouldn't be able to move. Gripping himself tighter, his imagination became wild. Just thinking about her breathy moans or her screams of pleasure caused a shudder to pass through him as he came into the tissue he had thoughtfully grabbed. Why, why not just take what he so obviously wants? What's stopping him? If it were anyone else, he would have slacked his lust, had some fun, and moved on. The fact that this question ran through his mind without an answer was the reason for his pain.

Three days. That’s how close I was to marrying Alistair, the man I’d loved for six years, the man whose life I’d literally saved with my own rare blood. I was just admiring the final pearl on my wedding dress, a gown I’d poured my soul into, when he called. The wedding? Off. He was marrying my stepsister, Ivy. Her dying wish, he said. Six months to live, maybe less. The kicker? He’d already taken my wedding dress from my studio for her. Just like that, six years, countless transfusions, our shared dreams – all tossed aside for the girl who’d made my life a living hell since childhood. He even offered me “compensation,” as if my future had a price tag. But if Alistair and Ivy thought I’d just crumble, they seriously underestimated me. They wanted my fiancé? Fine. But it would cost them. First, our multi-million-dollar fashion company, Evening Gala – built on my designs, my vision. He signed it over. Then, a cool million for the stolen dress. He paid. Another million for the wedding jewelry they dared to ask me to hand over for Ivy. Cha-ching. You’d think they’d learn. But no. Their next proposal was the most insulting yet: Alistair actually suggested that I should just wait. That after Ivy’s ‘inevitable’ passing in a few months, he and I could just pick up where we left off, have an even better wedding. Seriously? Enough was enough. If Ivy wanted to play bride with my life, she was going to get a taste of what happens when you push someone too far. Let's just say her hospital room celebration involved a lot more smoke, water, and screaming than she bargained for, all thanks to a little wedding gift from yours truly. Now they know I’m not the same Hazel they could walk all over. I’ve got my company, a pile of their cash, and a whole lot of scores to settle. They think this is over? This game of revenge is just getting started. And believe me, I play to win.

working in a mental hospital was nothing new for Claire, she'd always wanted to help people but... something about a patient she knew unsettled her so damn much. The thing about crazy people is that their loyal, yet because of their hostile actions their often pushed aside. :|: photo from someone on Pinterest (my bad I forgot) :|:

The garden glowed beneath a canopy of fairy lights, alive with music, laughter, and the soft clinking of glasses. Anna stood in the center of it all, heart full, watching Mark with his friends and feeling Claire’s steady hand in hers. It was a night of celebration—of love, new beginnings, and everything finally falling into place. As the evening unfolded in perfect harmony, an unexpected tension sliced through the joy. Lauren, Mark’s ex, appeared at the edge of the crowd. She moved silently through the party, eyes fixed ahead, until she stepped onto the small stage where Anna stood.

Did you just call me Lewis?” James’s eyes turned wide as he marched after her. “Yes, and?”
 “Well screw you too Ainara.” Clair gasped. “You dirty little-“
 “You started this first!” Oh, she begged to differ. “You man child!” “Are you seriously speaking right now? You’re acting like a child yourself!” “Whatever I’m out of this stuffy palace!” “If you’re going to run away at least don’t announce it. Look how that turned out for you last time.” He mocked. “Well, third times the charm! L-E-W-I-S” She raised her hand picking up her pace as he still followed behind her persistently. He suddenly stopped and said, “Fine. You can try to run away I don’t care.” Clair halted her steps and turned around. “Really?” She asked. He could imagine literal hearts in her eyes right now. Not responding he turned around and walked to the opposite direction where his room was, only to realize they had the same bedroom! He then turned around and entered their room, slamming the door shut. Clair scoffed and ran down the hall to make her grand escape. ….. A few minutes later, If the guards who were trying to help up their unconscious fellow guards, didn’t witness their King pick up their Queen and drop her on his shoulder like a bag of potatoes, they would have thought he was carrying their Queen’s corpse.

She was feared amongst all killers, many said the devil himself was afraid of her. But others insisted she was the devil herself!

NOT YOUR REGULAR MAFIA STORY! A story of obsession, danger, and the kind of love that demands everything. If you’re looking for soft kisses and fairy-tale promises, this isn’t it. *** “This is not a game,” Lucas growled, stepping in, his presence dark and overwhelming. “Don’t ever do that again. You have no idea what you mean to me.” Claire’s inhaled sharply and she couldn’t believe the next words that came out of her own mouth. “Then show me,” she whispered in a short breath. In one swift movement, his hand gripped the back of her neck. “You have no idea what you’re asking for,” he murmured, staring into her soul, his breath warm against her skin. But Claire didn’t flinch. She slid her hand down, brushing against the hard outline of him through his jeans, maintaining intense eye contact. “I do.” *** Claire was just another struggling actress until a mafia boss handed her a ring and asked her to act as his wife. “Just one year, and you’ll never hear from me again,” he said.
