The Accused Mate

"Mate," my wolf spoke loudly in my mind.  The smell hit me first. A smoky cedarwood, dark and heavy. My body reacted before my head even had a chance to process what was going on, and then I saw him. Alpha Elias Beaumont. He was tall, and handsome. His full dark hair made me feel bald and emerald eyes were sharper than the edge of a knife.  He stole the moment. The rest of the world went into oblivion. He was mine. I took one step closer and he retreated. The earth beneath my feet could have turned to liquid, it was that soft. Elias's face impossible to decipher, his jaw shut tight, his eyes burning with some feeling I had no notion how to classify. My wolf yelped in agony, but I held strong, muzzling my own breath into a level plane, waiting…waiting for him to speak. He felt it just like I did. I moved towards him, but he stopped me with his hand. "Don't," he warned.  And then, his words, individually like a blade, cutting through me. "I, Alpha Elias Beaumont of the Artemis Pack, deny you, Amara Kings, as my mate." ~ For eighteen years, Amara Kings has been nothing more than a ghost—a forgotten heir locked away in secrecy. On the night of her long-awaited debut, she senses her fated mate among the guests. But her dreams of love and freedom shatter when Alpha Elias Beaumont, the man destined to be hers, publicly rejects her and claims her sister, Kamla, instead. Betrayed and heartbroken, Amara swears Kamla will not get away with her deception. But when Kamla is found murdered that same night, all eyes turn to Amara. Branded a jealous killer, she is thrown into a nightmare of torture and humiliation at the hands of the mate who once denied her. But Amara is no ordinary wolf. As darkness rises and buried secrets unravel, she discovers a power within her that could reshape the entire werewolf world—or destroy it. With enemies lurking in the shadows, an obsessed Alpha vying for her heart, and Elias desperate for redemption, Amara must decide: will she seek vengeance, claim her rightful place, or carve a new destiny of her own? The truth was never meant to come to light. But now that it has, the world will never be the same.

Claimed by the Wrong Alphas

She was raised to obey. Trained to kneel. But the fire in her blood was never meant to be caged. Charis Greye was supposed to seal an alliance, but instead, she bit the Alpha King's son and might have started a war. Daughter of the infamous Alpha Silas Greye, Charis always thought she had a bright future. But when that future came with blood, bruises, and a cage called duty, she did the unthinkable: she ran. Now, under a forged name with her hair cropped to her chin, she's no longer Charis – she's Eamon Riggs, a quiet boy from a small pack at Ravenshore Academy, the only place beyond her father's influence. But the shadows of her past won't stay buried. When a ruthless strategist with piercing eyes starts circling too close to her secrets, a seductive playboy with a darkness of his own awakens her wolf's forbidden desires. Her vengeful ex-mate—the one who should be dead—returns, thirsting for revenge, and Charis's carefully constructed lies begin to crack. As "Eamon" climbs the ranks, Charis must protect her identity and control the power awakening inside her—a power that could topple dynasties or kill her. In a world where alliances shift like shadows and enemies wear friendly faces, Charis must decide: keep hiding and survive, or reveal her truth and burn it all down. At Ravenshore Academy, the deadliest game isn't about learning how to lead... It's surviving long enough to matter. And no one said the strongest survive –it's about outlasting the monsters who already are.

Fake Date, Real Fate

"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again. I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt. "Yes, Mr. Walton?" "Have you changed your mind yet?" I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough. "Do you ever take a break?" I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand. "You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it.
