Stepping on You With My Glass Slipper

“Oh my god! The prince sent an invitation for the upcoming royal ball!” Eleanor exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement as she waved the golden-sealed letter in her hand. “The royal ball!?” Anna and Cindy squealed, nearly toppling over their chair in delight. “Shh! We don’t want Ella to hear about this,” Eleanor hissed, glancing nervously over her shoulder. And there she was, Ella, standing by the doorway with her eyes gleaming, ready to pounce on anyone in sight. “Did someone say balls?” Ella grinned widely, her smile wide enough to make her mother and sister flinch. “No, no—it’s a royal ball, a ball. It’s where people… dance,” Eleanor stammered, her voice faltering. “Well, then,” Ella said, her grin stretching further, “there’s going to be a lot of balls there.” And with that, Ella darted to her room, already rummaging through her drawers. Ella wasn’t just dreaming of going to the royal ball— she dreams of every ball. In a kingdom obsessed with beauty and perfection, Ella, long ridiculed as the “ugly half-sister,” has spent her life in the shadows of her graceful and adored sisters. However, Ella never allowed mockery to pierce her strange, unbothered world. She focused on the hobby that kept growing—collecting balls and other round-shaped items. When the royal family announced the grand ball to find a bride for their prince, Eleanor’s heart sank. She feared Ella’s oddities might bring embarrassment to their family. Desperate to uphold their name, Eleanor resolved to turn her awkward daughter into a refined young lady, no matter how severe the training. “Posture, Ella! You’re not a hunchbacked scarecrow!” “Smile softly, not like you’re about to eat someone!” But despite Eleanor’s strict lessons, Ella’s wild grin never faded. It only sharpened. When the night of the royal ball finally arrived, the palace glimmered under crystal chandeliers. The prince stood poised, the very image of perfection, until the grand doors opened. Ella entered, her gown shimmering with hundreds of tiny glass spheres sewn into the fabric, catching every flicker of light. The room fell silent as a faint, musical clinking echoed with each step she took. The prince turned, his flawless gaze locking with hers. Ella smiled, leaning close enough for only him to hear. “I’ve always loved balls,” she whispered. The prince’s lips parted slightly, his polished smile faltering as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. Ella tilted her head, her grin fierce and unrestrained. Then, the grand doors opened again. Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave breaking on marble. With that, a mysterious woman in a simpler dress entered.

The Pack’s Reject

Violet Crowe has spent her entire life being unwanted. Hated by her family, locked away in a basement, and forced to swallow herbs that suppress her wolf, she reaches twenty without ever knowing what it feels like to be a werewolf. Things can’t possibly get worse until she accidentally crashes the annual mating ceremony and discovers she’s mated to the Lycan Kings. All three of them. Corvin, Caleb, and Cassius are the youngest kings in history. They’re newly crowned, already irritated with fate, and deeply unimpressed by the wolfless girl the Moon Goddess chose for them. They want the bond broken. Violet just wants to survive. Unfortunately, the Moon Goddess seems to have other plans. As Violet’s wolf begins to surface, unsettling truths about her existence come to light and more people want her gone. Trapped in a kingdom that doesn’t want her and bound to three kings who claim they hate her yet keep ending up in her bed, she quickly learns one thing: Being rejected is far more dangerous when destiny refuses to let you go. ~~~~~~~~~ This story contains: – a Moon Goddess who refuses to explain herself and will not be taking questions – three Lycan Kings who are tyrants by day and emotionally unavailable by night – control issues – very selective self-awareness – a heroine who is exhausted, confused, and absolutely did not apply for this life – rejection that turns into obsession when it doesn’t work – politics, violence, and people who should not be in power – accidental bed-sharing that no one wants to explain in the morning – fate with no refund policy and no customer support. WARNINGS: R18: Smut (lots of it), dark themes, murder, emotionally stunted sociopaths, morally black kings who insist everyone call them green flags, rejection-to-obsession romance, wolf politics, manipulation, betrayal, accidental bed-sharing, involuntary growling, obsessive freckle-counting, and a female lead who did not sign up for any of this. A spicy reverse-harem fantasy romance where the only sane one is the Moon Goddess (occasionally) and the only thing more dangerous than the spice is the obsession. Proceed with caution. Everyone involved is unwell.

THE ALPHA WHO REJECTED THE MOON

"You are not worthy to stand beside an Alpha King. I, Dante Silvercrest, reject you as my mate and Luna." The words echo across the sacred Moon Claiming ceremony as every wolf in the kingdom watches Elara Moonwyn—daughter of disgraced traitors—reach for a bond that will never be hers. Publicly humiliated, stripped of her dignity, Elara flees into the one place no wolf dares to enter: the Forbidden Veilwood, where rejected mates go to die and ancient magic devours the broken-hearted. But Elara doesn't die. She awakens something older than the Moon Goddess herself—a bloodline sealed away because it was too powerful, too dangerous, too divine. The mark on her skin is no longer the rejected mate brand. It's the Starborn Sigil, proof that she descends from the first children of the cosmos, the ones who created the Moon Goddess and the werewolf species. And the moment her seal breaks, Alpha King Dante begins to die. Deadly visions plague him. His heart stops whenever hers races. His wolf howls in agony, claiming its mate was never truly rejected—the bond merely transformed into something darker, a cosmic punishment for scorning what the universe itself blessed. But when Dante comes crawling back, desperate and dying, Elara has already caught the eye of another: Alpha Kieran Nightshade, the mysterious Wolf King of the North, who kneels before her and calls her what Dante never did—Queen. Now Dante must watch the woman he rejected become the most powerful being in their world while he suffers the consequences of breaking a bond the universe never meant to be broken. The prophecy was always clear: When the Moon is rejected, the Stars will claim their daughter back, and all wolves will kneel or burn. Elara Moonwyn was never just a rejected mate. She was always the end—and the beginning.

Ruin Me, Alpha

MATURE CONTENT (Not suitable for readers under the age 18) Irene Harvey's life comes crumbling when her mate rejects her on their wedding day and her father is arrested by her sworn enemy, Alpha Devon. This takes her back to square one, stripping her of every power she had as an Alpha daughter and turning into an Omega over night. To wash down the misery of being ruined by a man that not only arrested her father but had also killed her brother, she decided to go for a party. In that party, she meets a mysterious man in which she is attracted to. He takes her to his private cabin and they share a hot, steamy night. Irene Harvey’s life comes crumbling the second time when she learnt that the man she shared a steamy night with was Alpha Devon, the man she had always detested and the new Alpha of her Pack. —- “What do you want?” Irene spat, not bothering to flip the light on. His scent that she loathed with every fiber of her being announced him before his lips did. “You,” he replied softly, as if he hadn’t just snapped an innocent man’s neck for merely speaking to her. “You need to leave me alone, Devon.” Her voice crackled with frustration and fury. “You know that’s not possible,” he said, voice smooth as silk. “Stop this madness! What more do you need from me? You took my family, stripped me of my title, forced me into an Omega’s life. You took everything. Just leave. Me. Alone. Please.” In a blink he was inches from her, breath hot on her neck. “You don’t understand what you’ve gotten yourself into. This is do‑or‑die. Either I have you… or I kill every man who even breathes near you.”

Bound by Fate : The Wife Who Returned

She was supposed to disappear quietly. Instead, she opened her eyes again— not to memories, but to a life that was never hers. She wakes up in a body everyone else seems to recognize. People speak to her as if she should know them. The place she stands in carries expectations she never agreed to. This body has a past, a role, a history—but none of it belongs to her. It is not that she forgot who she was. She simply was never the one who lived this life. Very quickly, she realizes what the world expects from her: a wife who was never truly wanted, tied to a marriage shaped by choices she did not make. The emotions around her feel heavy, unfinished, almost demanding—yet she cannot tell where they come from. Strangely, she does not react the way everyone seems to expect. She does not demand answers. She does not try to claim a place that feels unfamiliar. She moves carefully, learning how to exist inside a fate already set in motion. And slowly, that quiet difference begins to matter. The man who once always turned away starts to notice the silence she leaves behind. What used to be distance filled with resentment becomes something else—uncertain, hesitant, fragile. Bound by fate, they meet once again— not as they were, but as they have become. Between restraint and fragile trust, feelings surface before understanding does. They arrive without explanation, without permission, lingering where they should not. Some bonds cannot be undone. Some love awakens too late. And some lives return—not to be saved, but to be understood.
