Raised as a slave. Chosen by the Moon Goddess. Mated… to the brother she never knew..... Raisa never knew she was the daughter of Alpha Theo and Luna Rina—an heir to the throne blessed by the powerful Alpha Damian. Stolen on the day of her birth and sold into slavery, she grew up with nothing but chains on her wrists and scars on her soul. Now, years later, fate places her in the Alpha's estate… and in the path of a boy who feels like home and danger all at once. He’s drawn to her. Protective of her. Possessive over her. And when the mate bond strikes—shocking them both—his world is shattered. Because she is his… but also his sister.

Quinn Holstin is the daughter of Liam and Angel Holstin and the twin sister of Malin. They are the 5th and 6th children born to their parents. After her brother took over as Alpha, her older sister became the acting Luna until Rich found his mate. Quinn has led a charmed life, always protected by her father and three older brothers, never needing to take on a role in the pack since first Leana, then Emlyn, took the role of Luna. Emerson Gunnar is the Alpha of Safe Haven and son to Eli and Grace Gunnar. He took over as Alpha for his father nearly two years ago, however, his father still struggles with letting go. Their pack is well established and continues to take in those who need refuge as their name implies and Emerson is ready to have his father let go. The only thing Emerson is missing is Quinn. He’s been waiting for her to turn eighteen since he did two years ago when he recognized her as his mate. However, Emerson is still reeling from the problems that occurred with his sister and his sister’s mate, Richard, the Alpha of a neighboring pack in their alliance. Emerson is unwilling to do anything that could be considered inappropriate with Quinn, wanting her to know that he respects her. However, Emerson’s unwillingness to show any sort of intimacy to Quinn causes her to feel as though Emerson doesn’t want her as a mate. Can Emerson relax his rigid ways before he hurts his mate beyond the ability to repair it? Will he be able to show Quinn exactly how much she means to him, sealing their bond and bringing them together as partners and lovers, rather than Guardian and Alpha?

“I'm so sorry, Leo,” I rasped, my voice barely a whisper. Tears of guilt and self-blame streamed down my cheeks as I stood before him, eyes cast downward. Despite the fact that I was his prisoner and he was my warden, I couldn't bear the thought of anything bad happening to him. I told him, “It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you go-” “Damn it, Alessandra. I don't want your apology,” Leonardo snapped, lifting my chin with a firm finger, forcing me to meet his gaze. His voice was hard as steel as he continued, “I want you to write a fucking essay about how much you think about me. How you crave my touch. I want to hear you say you love me, because I swear it in this life, mia principessa, there won't be anyone else but me.” ----------------------------------------------------- When Alessandra Scavelli is forced into marrying Leonardo De Castello, her childhood sweetheart turned feared mafia kingpin, her world is thrown into chaos. Leonardo, still madly in love with her, sees this as a chance to reclaim their lost romance. Alessandra, however, is torn by a secret mission handed to her by her family: infiltrate Leonardo's syndicate and bring it down from within. As she delves into Leonardo's dangerous world, Alessandra finds herself conflicted between her family’s demands and the undeniable pull of her own heart. The once clear lines between loyalty and love blur, and she must navigate a treacherous path where betrayal lurks at every corner. Will Alessandra follow through with her family's plan, or will she surrender to the passion that threatens to consume her?

Hypatos My life has always belonged to House Ares. Every battle, every scar, even the arm I lost, was given in its name. Loyalty forged me into a weapon, and I never questioned it… until I loved the one woman I could never claim. Losing her left me hollow, a man shaped by duty and nothing more. Then Saea steps into my world, sharp-tongued and fearless, seeing through every wall I’ve built. She doesn’t belong in my world, and I shouldn’t want her. But for the first time, I do. Even if choosing her means betraying everything I’ve ever sworn to protect. Saea I’ve always known my place, pouring drinks in an Olympian tavern where warriors and gods look right through me. Men like Hypatos don’t see women like me, even when I’ve been quietly watching, quietly caring, learning the weight of his grief from a distance. Wanting him is reckless. Believing he could ever want me back is worse. But when fate pulls us into the same fight, something changes. For the first time, I’m not invisible to him. For the first time, I dare to want more. A future where we stand as equals… if Olympus doesn’t destroy us first.

"Betrayal is a sin, flower," He murmured near my ears, his arctic orbs whisking the warmth of my flesh against his. A course of harrowing singeing fire drifted down my body from the swell of my breasts to my heated core. My nerves screaming with torturous touch of his skin against mine, I couldn’t think for he had me confine in his arms. Brutally, he swept his tongue under the rim of my ear whilst my breath hitched and my tears become uncontrollable. The blood seeped through the cut I gifted him with as he inflated every bit of my scent I had to offer. His filthy tongue leapt across my lower lip with hellish slowness. The bond tempted me to submit to him. "I do not yearn to hear your cries, Katarina. Worship me with your moans." He commanded and I closed my eyes tightly not wishing to swim in those ocean pools of his. Their intimidating tone of his made me want to submit fully to him, to hand over the reins of my soul in his fists. Tears streamed down my face. "F-Forgive me, Xerxes." I stammer softly unable to face his wrath for I knew he was just playing with me, toying with my emotions before he punish me for deeds I've done. Xerxes cruelly grasped my wrists whilst locking them above my head so he could fully discern my naked flesh. "Forgive you?" He mocked, his eyes holding mine into a captivating grip as he licked his lips. "You let another male touch what belonged to me, tell me, flower, why must you test me like this.” I gulped unable to meet his gaze. He chuckled dryly. “Spread your legs, Katarina. The nectar I’m craving is between your legs.”
