Red rose: "mom, I'm 21 years old. I'm not a child anymore." said red rose, arguing with her mother. Her mother: "Yes, and yet you still act like one. Just because you are 21 years old, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, dear." her mother replied, trying to reason with red rose. Red rose: "But, mom, I'm an adult. I should have the freedom to make my own decisions." she argued, frustration clear in her voice. her mother: "It's not about freedom, it's about responsibility. You're getting married to Victor—he's a good match, stable, respected. This isn't just about *you* anymore." Red rose: "*Married?!* No! I didn't agree to this! You can't just hand me over like I'm some prize in a damn pack deal!" Her voice cracked with panic. "I don't love him—I don't even *know* him!" Her father stepped in, calm but firm: "Victor is an Alpha of high standing. This union secures peace between packs. Your feelings don't change the fated bond." Red Rose backed away, heart pounding. "Fated? That's a lie. I didn't feel anything when I met him—no spark, no pull… nothing." Her eyes burned with tears she refused to shed. "I won't be traded like cattle for political gain." And before they could stop her—she ran. Written by [Park Glory]

On June 29, 2125, the apocalypse occurred on the very day of the launch of an artificial intelligence satellite launched by a world-class company called Pandora Tech. The purpose of this AI-based satellite was to control the world's automated electronic systems, including all internet networks, services, and free Wi-Fi. However, an hour after launch, the satellite returned to Earth and transformed everything—from machines, plants, animals, and humans—into half-zombie, half-robot monsters. A 17-year-old boy who experienced this event was rescued by a system and returned to the morning before the apocalypse. Having failed to save those closest to him, the system finally unlocked and gave him the power to become a werewolf, absorbing souls to transform them into Shadow Wolves. Afterward, he began to survive in the post-apocalyptic world alone, with only half his humanity and soul remaining, having failed to carry out a mission he knew nothing about. This is a war of survival between mysticism and magic against technology. Will he save the world or destroy it?

For eighteen years, Isla Thorne has been the shadow in her own family—the unwanted reminder of a scandal no one speaks about. While her half-sister Celeste shines as the pack's beloved princess, Isla scrubs floors, endures whispers, and counts the days until her eighteenth birthday when she can finally leave Silvermoon Pack forever. Freedom is seventy-two hours away when her wolf awakens. And the mate bond slams into place, connecting her to Rowan Blackwater —future Alpha, Celeste's perfect fiancé, and the golden boy who made Isla's childhood a nightmare. He's the one who led the pack kids in tormenting her, who turned blind eyes to her suffering, who represents everything she's learned to hate. Isla does the only thing that makes sense: she publicly rejects him in front of the entire pack. She expects relief. Instead, she gets obsession. Suddenly, the Alpha heir who barely acknowledged her existence is everywhere —breaking into her room, sabotaging her escape plans, cornering her in dark hallways, declaring she belongs to him and him alone. He claims the bond "opened his eyes." That he sees her now. That he'll burn down anyone who tries to take her away—including Celeste. But Isla knows better. Wolves don't change overnight. This is just another game, another way to break her before she escapes. Except Rowan isn't playing. When rogues attack targeting Isla specifically, when pack secrets about her bloodline surface, when Celeste's sweet mask cracks to reveal something poisonous underneath—Rowan becomes her unwanted shield. Possessive. Protective. Unhinged. And terrifyingly, Isla's wolf wants him back. As Isla uncovers the truth about why her family really kept her—about the ancient Omega bloodline running through her veins, about the prophecy that makes her the key to ultimate pack power, about the Luna ceremony that was never meant for Celeste—she realizes her rejection didn't just wound Rowan's pride. It triggered a countdown to war. Because Rowan Blackwater doesn't lose. And he certainly doesn't lose his mate to a sister who's been poisoning her for eighteen years or to the rival pack that's been hunting Isla since birth. Now Isla must choose: Run and let everyone discover what she's truly worth when she's gone, or stay and fight for a bond she never wanted with a male she's not sure she can trust—but might be the only one who's ever truly seen her. Because sometimes the cruelest twist of fate becomes the greatest love story. And sometimes the boy who broke you is the only one who can make you whole.

Married to a feared Lord of Sin, a witch must survive his hunger and unravel the truth about his power and her own destiny. Lucrezia Bathory has lived as an outcast from her pack until married to the rumored Devil’s Incarnate of Dreadwyn. A land built on souls of the dead and the throne of human bones—an ugly creature of the dark with sharp fangs, claws, and a monstrous form—known to eat the flesh of the innocent, and drink the marrow of the wicked. To protect her family and House Bathory, Lucrezia carries the cross as sacrifice to prove her birthright. But who knew the creature wedded wasn't as described in the tome as ‘ugly’ but a Sin destined to lure her astray. A Daydream disguised as a Nightmare, and a Nightmare of many colors. *** EXCERPT “You want to know what I want?” He stepped forward, pinning her gaze deep into his bright hazel eyes, reminding her sanity she just treaded the wrong question. When he drew closer, she stepped back, heart drumming loud that its rhythmic sound replaced the sudden silence sealed with heat, until the back of her legs hit the table behind, taking her weight along its surface. Gods… she was only wearing a silk night gown, and the windows were perfectly closed, hearth warm enough against the cold yet she was burning. “I can’t breathe, Lucreiza,” He pronounced her name like a sinful prayer, and she gulped, her mouth almost hanging from delusion. “I can't breathe because you’re fucking me with your scent. I’m going crazy with every passing second I breathe, and seeing you like this, utterly bare, makes me want to make you beg.” It was so short, but she could feel every power, every restrian, every pleasure, just by words alone. How insane can it drive her, were determined by her reaction. Unknown emotions she has never felt before, emotions that heated and chilled her all at the same time. A gasp escaped her lips when he pressed closer, and her legs parted unconsciously, conceding to his unexpressed demand. Now she was pinned in between the body of a monster. One whom she should fear, but felt… expectation? He leaned in and she stuttered a breath, throwing her head back as his fangs grazed her skin in a manner that’s supposed to make her crawl. Run. But instead, it made her desperate. “You don't know even half of what I want, half of what I need.” At this point, Lucreiza’s mind was a totally mess that nothing else registered apart from what he was doing to her. “I’m not just the monster you should fear, witch. I’m the Devil you should deny,” That was the thing… she couldn’t reject him. Fear him. Stir clear. Run. Nothing else made sense to her apart from the burning flames in her chest, the one she never knew when exactly it transpired. The world seemed to cease when she opened her mouth and uttered the damnation, that even the heavens screamed warning from above. “Y-yes,” she whispered, voice hanging from ecstasy. “M-Make me b-beg,” PS: MATURED CONTENT. #webnovel

Samantha Hale once lived an ordinary life in the human world, ordinarily except for the constant sense that she never truly belonged. Found as an abandoned infant near a forest border and raised by a loving human couple, she grew up blind to her origins yet strangely attuned to the unseen. Her senses were sharper than most; her instincts too accurate to ignore. But the truth behind her unusual existence remained hidden… until Morris found her. Morris was a werewolf, charming on the surface, dangerously obsessive beneath. He was fascinated by Samantha, drawn to something he couldn’t immediately define. When she resisted his advances and tried to escape his tightening grip, his obsession turned violent. The night she fled him changed her life forever. Morris, enraged that she would choose freedom over him, clawed out her eyes in the forest, claiming that if she couldn’t look at him with love, she shouldn’t look at anyone at all. Blinded, bleeding, and running on pure terror, Samantha stumbled deep into the forbidden wildland…the territory of the Alpha King of werewolves: Zoro Darkfang. Zoro was everything Morris wasn’t … powerful, calculating, feared yet fair. He carried the burden of leadership, haunted by a slow-burning war with Morris, his former beta turned traitor. When Samantha literally crashed into his life and arm… something ancient stirred inside him. He couldn’t ignore the instinctual pull he felt toward her. Yet he saw her as human and helpless, a fragile soul ruined by one of his own. His first instinct was to protect … and hide her. But soon, Zoro begins to realize Samantha isn’t helpless at all. Even without eyes, she sees things others can’t … whispers of magic, traces of aura, echoes of souls. She senses a darkness coming… and she feels it inside herself. The wolves around her react to her presence… not with pity, but awe. Her scent is royal. Her wounded face carries beneath the skin a faint shimmering mark, one Zoro recognizes from stories told only in secret: The Eclipse Wolf. A supernatural lineage believed extinct. A wolf that exists between light and shadow, life and death. Samantha is the last of them… the heir to a power great enough to either unite or destroy every pack on the continent. And both Zoro and Morris want her. Zoro, to protect her. Morris… to claim her. Morris is convinced that Samantha is his destined mate… not because of love, but because of ambition. If he owns the Eclipse Wolf, he owns fate itself. He launches relentless attacks on neighboring packs, killing dozens and leaving one survivor each time… always with the same message: “Bring me Samantha. Alone.” His dominance becomes a blood-written ultimatum. Samantha, meanwhile, battles fear, guilt, and a terrifying transformation inside her. As the Eclipse mark awakens, she experiences visions of a giant wolf woven from moonlight and darkness. She feels her body changing, senses sharpening, something monstrous and magnificent waiting beneath her grief. She hates what Morris did to her. She fears what she’s becoming. And yet, she needs answers. Zoro tries to help her control this new power, guiding her through the rage and shadows looming inside. Along the way, their connection deepens… from protector and victim to something undeniable. But love only intensifies the danger. Prophecies begin resurfacing: “When the Eclipse Wolf awakens, a king must fall.” Morris believes Zoro is that king. Zoro wonders if he might instead be destined to die by Samantha’s awakening hand. The climax erupts when Morris stages his deadliest attack yet, abducting innocent pack members and forcing Zoro’s warriors into slaughter. He sends a mangled survivor to deliver the final demand: “Samantha walks into my territory, or their blood never stops flowing.” Samantha refuses to let more lives be lost because of her. Despite Zoro’s furious objections, she makes her choice. She goes. Alone. Blind but guided by something older than eyesight, de

The Old World disappeared in flames. Several nations have risen from the ashes. The Reclamation Army is one of them. Led by the Dynast, its armies invade neighboring lands, bringing ironclad order where chaos once reigned. It is a time of chaos, a time when the strongest New Breeds roam the planet, personally joining the battles without fear or concern for the destruction they may cause. Warlord Janine is a recently promoted officer serving the Blessed Mother. Worried about what might happen if she lets her anger rule her again, Janine holds back and often fights without the fury that the Wolf Tribe is known for. But when a mission to rebuild the Third Army escalates into a full-scale invasion, and the lives of her soldiers and her family are jeopardized, Janine may snap. And there will be hell to pay for anyone who stands in her way.

The century-old war between witches and werewolves has finally ended. Peace reigns. Or so it seems. Because that peace came with a price. Something stirs in the shadows. Dark creatures now hunt wolf, witch, and human alike. The world needs a savior... one born of chaos and magic. Celeste Bloodoak was supposed to be that savior. Daughter of the North American Alpha King and his hybrid Luna Queen, she should’ve inherited greatness. But she didn’t. Wolfless. Powerless. Scorned by her peers, rejected by the Alpha she loves and pitied by her own family, Celeste has always lived in her twin brother’s shadow. Until she meets him—a man forged in blood and darkness. A creature that shouldn’t exist. A vampire. And as if resisting that dangerous pull weren’t enough, Celeste’s world shatters during Bloodoak Academy’s Mating Ball... when she discovers she’s mated to four men. Not one. Not two. FOUR. Her arrogant Alpha ex. His cold, calculating Beta brother. A witch who wants nothing to do with her. And the mysterious vampire whose kiss tastes like sin. One girl. Four mates. And a bond that could save—or doom—the world. In this dance of blood, power, and forbidden desire, will Celeste rise as the prophesied heir… or fall to the darkness that calls her name? (TRIGGER WARNING: Mature content and dark themes ahead.)

An Alpha she can’t escape. A bond that is forbidden. And a baby she must save. ---------------------- It was insanity to abscond from Alpha Kalio. Absolute madness to kidnap his son.

Idalia continued running, her plan not being to outrun him forever but to stall him till it was time for the prophecy. However, things quickly go south as she falls into the claws of a human who takes a possibly dangerous interest in her. Now she has more dangerous things to escape from and even far more life-threatening things to protect her son from. There was no way this could get even worse ….or so she thought. —— —— This book contains mature content (graphic violent and intimate scenes).

"You burned it!" Sofia screamed, her voice rose to a pitch that almost made my ear ring."You burned my dress! My dress for the Ascension Ball!" Sophia pointed to the hem of the dress but I saw nothing there. I thought maybe I was missing it, so I squinted, but still didn't find any burn mark. I was so confused, I nodded my head to say I hadn't see anything but she only stared at me for a while then she began to laugh so loud "You're going to see the burn mark very soon" she said and walked towards the table, she grabbed the hot coal iron, and placed it on the hem of the dress she she had just said I burnt while she continued to smile at me. When I realized what was happened, I just could believe what was happening, she was gonna burn the dress herself and blame me for it. This is madness. After burning the dress to her satisfaction, she pulled the iron away and there was a tiny brown spot. She turned to me and pointed to her burn mark.

“Alpha Troy! Over here!” I yelled, raising my hand for help. I was under attack by a monster while saving my mates. The four of them heard me cry out as the creature clawed me and slammed me against the wall. “Help me!” I gasped, but their attention shifted when a soft cry came from the other side. It was Oriana, the gentle princess and a warrior, a combination most men lusted after. But not my mates. They were in my troupe, my friends, my lovers. We shared a bed, a bond. I knew they would save me. “Ohhh! I’m going to die,” she whimpered again, though she could have stood up easily. The monster’s focus was on me. “Yorick!” I screamed, reaching for another of my mates, struggling to escape, my leg tangled in silver chains. My mates looked at me and then at her—and I saw it. The shine of love in their eyes. In a heartbeat, they ran to her. My heart slowed. Tears welled up. Oriana had warned me: when it came down to it, they would choose her. She told me they only used me to pass time in the dorm room because I agreed for gangbang while other she-wolves did not. And now, right before my eyes, they were leaping into battle—for her. “We’ll come back for you, don’t worry,” Haiden shouted, as if that erased the betrayal. At that moment, the monster turned back to me. And I knew there would be no saving me. So I prayed they’d live long enough to regret their choice. --- Clementine had spent her life as the insufferable daughter of an alpha—tough, rebellious, and uninterested in love, especially in a world where male wolves were allowed multiple mates.

They say seven is the number of perfection. For Luna Seraphine, it was the number that ended her silence. Six times, she tore the divorce papers apart, choosing love over pride, endurance over dignity, surrendering to the cruel demands of the mate who never cherished her. The seventh time, she signed her name without trembling. Alpha Ravyn panicked. His mistress, Daisy, the daughter of Seraphine’s former nanny, laughed it off. She’s only throwing a tantrum, they said. She’ll crawl back. They were wrong. The truth shattered what little remained of her heart: the child she had loved and raised for six years was never hers. That revelation became her breaking point and her rebirth. This time, Luna Seraphine walked away without looking back. As her power rose, so did Ravyn’s regret. The Alpha who once discarded her now slept outside her door, desperate for a single glance. But the woman who opened that door was no longer the Luna he broke. Cold. Untouchable. Unforgiving. Ravyn fell to his knees, begging for her hand, only to realize he was no longer the only one. Men of influence and power now competed for her attention. Because Luna Seraphine was no longer just a Luna. She was a world-renowned business mogul. A shadowed philanthropist. The most sought-after surgeon of her time, and a cyber genius. This time, she is not surviving the story written for her. She is rewriting it. And only she decides how it ends.
