Cody’s moveset is like a love letter to wrestling history. The 'Cross Rhodes' is his finisher, but the way he sets it up—using opponents’ momentum against them—shows how smart he is in the ring. I’m obsessed with his 'Dusty Rhodes tribute' moves too, like the bionic elbow or the figure-four leglock. It’s a nod to his dad but with his own twist. The 'Disaster Kick' is another standout; he times it so well that even if you see it coming, it still shocks you. And that moonsault? Pure audacity.
Cody Rhodes has this electrifying presence in the ring, and his moveset reflects that perfectly. One of his most iconic signatures is the 'Cross Rhodes,' a stunning cutter where he flips the opponent mid-air before driving them into the mat. It’s so smooth that it feels like watching poetry in motion. Then there’s the 'Disaster Kick,' where he springs off the ropes with a spinning kick to the head—always gets the crowd roaring. He’s also known for the 'American Destroyer,' a piledriver variation that’s pure chaos in the best way.
What I love about Cody’s style is how he blends old-school flair with modern athleticism. The 'Alabama Slam' is another throwback move he revives, slamming opponents spine-first like a classic Southern wrestler. And let’s not forget his moonsault—rare for someone his size, but he lands it with such precision. Watching him chain these moves together feels like a masterclass in storytelling; every sequence builds drama. Honestly, even his simpler moves, like the delayed vertical suplex, have this deliberate intensity that makes them unforgettable.
Cody’s 'Cross Rhodes' is legendary, but I adore his smaller details: the way he adjusts his weight belt before a big move or how he sells exhaustion to make comebacks hit harder. His 'Disaster Kick' and moonsault are flashy, but it’s his grounded strikes—like those knife-edge chops—that show his versatility. He makes everything matter, from a headlock to a top-rope dive.
The 'Cross Rhodes' is Cody’s signature for a reason—it’s devastatingly effective and looks cinematic. But what fascinates me is his adaptability. He’ll whip out a 'Tiger Driver 98' in indie matches or a 'Cody Cutter' (a springboard stunner) for big pops. His 'European Uppercut' series is underrated too; he puts his whole body into it, making each strike feel like a mini-story. Even his taunts—like weightlifting before a slam—add layers to his character. Wrestling’s about spectacle, and Cody gets that every move should have personality.

"Eyes on me, Willow," he hissed, voice dangerously low. "I won't let you sit there and pretend it's someone else."
I bit my lip, shaking my head.
"Look at me!" he ordered.
The sheer command in his voice had my eyes flying open.
"Good girl, I won't have you pretend I'm the wrong brother."
******************************
Willow Thompson thought the worst thing that could happen to her was public humiliation.
She was wrong.
Because catching her boyfriend cheating in the hockey locker room is only the beginning.
Theo Spencer is popular, charming, and used to getting everything he wants. Breaking up with him should have ended the drama.
Instead, it starts a war.
A war that drags in his stepbrother.
Aiden Cross — the Alpha’s son, captain of the hockey team, and the most dangerous wolf in the school.
When Willow impulsively kisses Aiden on the ice in front of everyone, it’s supposed to be revenge.
Nothing more.
A fake relationship meant to drive Theo insane.
But the more time Willow spends with Aiden, the harder it becomes to remember what was supposed to be fake.
Because beneath the cold exterior, Aiden is protective, relentless… and dangerously easy to fall for.
And Willow has secrets of her own.
Secrets that could turn the entire school upside down.
Because Willow Thompson isn’t just the scholarship cheerleader everyone thinks she is.
She’s also the hidden daughter of one of the most powerful men in the supernatural world.
Now jealousy is turning to obsession.
Enemies are beginning to circle.
And in a school filled with wolves, vampires, and power-hungry rivals, Willow is about to learn one very important lesson:
Falling for the Alpha’s son was never supposed to happen.
But surviving the fallout might be even harder.
“I want a divorce.”
The room stilled.
“Excuse me?” His voice was silk wrapped around steel. “What did you just say?”
“You heard me.” I said, getting up from the bed, holding the sheets tightly around my body as I walked towards the dresser. I opened the drawer and pulled out the divorce paper, handing it to him. His eyes darkened. “I want a divorce…”
*******************
Be with perfect Luna, they said.
Be the lover.
The wife.
The friend…
But what happens when a Luna no longer wants to be?
It is a challenge, an outbreak, and a direct offense to the order.
And Alpha Xavier… well, he was never known to like rules being broken…
Unless it was him breaking them.
SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK THREE
*While this book can be read as a standalone, I'd highly recommend reading books one (Alpha Gray) and two (Alpha Theo) for context before this book*
JAX : I'm no stranger to one night stands. Lots of girls want a hook-up with an alpha, so why should this one be any different? Maybe it's because she's the best I ever had. Maybe it's because she refused to tell me anything about herself. We agreed to one night, no strings attached. The problem is, I can't get that night out of my head; I've been obsessed with finding this girl since. When she shows up at the squad complex for training, I feel like it's my lucky day- until my best friend introduces her as his sister and things get... complicated. I can't go against bro code, right? Even if Quinn is my dream girl. Even if there's a crazy attraction between us that's harder to resist every day. I'm so screwed. ~
QUINN : One night. It was supposed to be one night of anonymous, meaningless with a stranger. I just wanted to have a good time and forget about my cheating ex. It definitely did the trick- I haven't thought about my ex since, but now I can't stop thinking about that night or the sexy stranger who had all the right moves. When I arrive at the complex for a fresh start, I'm shocked to see him again- and even more surprised to find out that he's not only an alpha, but also one of my brother's best friends. Theo would Jax if he found out about that night. He can never know- which means I have to keep my distance. Even if I can't stop fantasizing about Jax. Even if it kills me.
Tyler never wanted an Alpha, especially not someone like Landon Hayes. At Ridgecrest Academy, Landon is at the top of the food chain—dominant, arrogant, and used to getting everything he wants.
But Tyler isn’t like the other Omegas who fall at his feet. Defiant and independent, he’s determined to finish his year and leave without ever being claimed.
Landon has other plans.
The moment Tyler caught Landon’s eye, it was game over. Tyler’s quiet defiance and refusal to submit ignite something in Landon he can’t ignore. For the first time, Landon is chasing someone who doesn’t want to be caught.
At Ridgecrest, the rules are simple: the strongest Alpha gets what he wants. And Landon Hayes wants Tyler.

“You—” he starts to say, but his voice catches. I see his pupils dilate, his lips parting as he tries to push back against what’s happening.
I let the red flash in my eyes, just for a second, enough to show him who’s in control here. It’s not about scaring him—it’s about reminding him of the natural order of things. The way this has always been meant to go.
“Submit,” I growl.
He whines. It’s quiet, barely audible, but I hear it. His body betrays him for just a second, his knees wobbling as his head lowers, shoulders hunching in instinctual submission. His eyes flick away, and I can see it—the brief moment where his will cracks.
And god, it’s intoxicating.
That split second of submission is all I need to know that he’s mine. He might fight it, but his body knows. His scent tells me everything I need to know. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks completely, before he’s begging for it.
He was very angry. He was looking at me like he wants to either rape me or punch my face.
"I can expla- "
He cuts me off.
"You have been a very very bad kitty. You have no idea what I've been through."
His grip on my neck tighten suffocating my food pipe.
"Strip."
The word brought me out of the electric shock. "Wha- "
"I m counting till 3 if you didn't, I'll tear your clothes off - 1."
Is this really happening?
"2."
I thought he was gay.
"3."
---------------------------------------------------
Emara, 21 years old human who disguises herself as a man to get a job in a Multinational company.
But little she did know ...
1. The boss is smoking hot.
2. He is not human.
3. She is his mate.
What will happen when the Big Bad Wolf will meet his Mate?
How will he react knowing his mate is a Guy, not a Girl?
What will happen when the truth will flood out? Who will drown? Who will swim?
One year. That’s all I have to survive.
I went from dancing naked in the neon-soaked stage of the Velvet Eclipse club to the cold, marble halls of the Hart empire with nothing but a promise I made to a dying man. I thought Richard Hart was my savior, but his final gift turned out to be a death sentence: live in a penthouse with his four sons—the most powerful, dangerous, and devastatingly handsome men in the city—for twelve months, or lose everything.
The catch? They hate me.
They see me as a charity case, a gold-digger.
There’s Lucien, the Ice King who wants to crush me under his corporate heel.
Damon, the inked-up mafia boss, who plays with guns and my sanity.
Kai, the tech genius whose stormy blue eyes track my every mistake like a virus.
And Theo, the golden boy whose charming smile hides a heart of pure stone.
They’ve made it clear: they don’t want a roommate. They want to break me until I beg to leave. But they don’t know where I come from. They don't know what I've survived, Jace, my ex boyfriend who is currently hunting me from the shadows, ready to drag me back to the life I barely escaped.
I’m trapped between four sharks who want to devour me and a monster who wants to own me.
But as the walls of the penthouse start closing in, the hatred is starting to feel a lot like hunger. The lines are blurring, and I’m beginning to realize that the only thing more dangerous than the Hart brothers hating me... is them wanting me.
I was sent here to tame them. But in this den of lions, I might be the one who ends up devoured.
Cody Rhodes' latest match was an absolute barnburner against Seth Rollins at 'WrestleMania 40'. The storytelling was next-level—you could feel the years of history between them, with Cody channeling his dad's legacy while Rollins played the perfect unhinged foil. The crowd was electric, especially when Cody hit the Cross Rhodes for the win. What stuck with me was how personal it felt; Cody's emotional promo afterward about his family made it more than just a match. Wrestling at its best blurs reality, and this one nailed it.
I’ve rewatched the highlights a dozen times—the pacing, the near-falls, even the subtle callbacks to Dusty’s classic matches. It’s rare to see a modern bout that honors tradition while feeling fresh. If you missed it, hunt down the replay; it’s a masterclass in in-ring psychology.
Growing up, I was always fascinated by wrestling nicknames—they're like battle cries that stick for life. Cody Rhodes' 'American Nightmare' is one of those that just fits. It evolved from his dad Dusty Rhodes' legacy as the 'American Dream,' but flipped into something darker, more rebellious. When Cody left WWE and reinvented himself on the indie scene, he needed a persona that screamed defiance. The nickname clicked during his time in NJPW and AEW, where he embraced a slick, villainous edge with that iconic black glove and tailored suits. It wasn't just a name; it was a statement—like he was carrying the Rhodes legacy but twisting it into his own myth.
What I love is how he leaned into it. The 'Nightmare' part isn't just about being scary; it's about being unpredictable. He'd switch from charismatic promo cuts to brutal matches, keeping fans guessing. Plus, the theme music (that haunting 'Kingdom' track) sealed the deal. It's rare to see a nickname feel so organic, like it was always meant to be.
