The Luna's Gambit

The Luna's Gambit

JHeart
The rules of the world have long changed. Lycans and their vampire knights rule. Werewolves abide by their laws. And humans... well, they barely scrape by at the very bottom of society's barrel. Sloane Mercer is an anomaly. A human born in the Glacier Pack. She's never fully accepted by her Alpha father. Never truly acknowledged by anyone. She thinks she's never going to have a mate, until fate ties her to pack enforcer, Grayson Rhodes. Sloane thinks Grayson will be the answer to all her troubles, but she soon finds out how badly mistaken she is when her sister reveals her pregnancy. The father? Grayson Rhodes. Life couldn't get any worse, right? Wrong. The tyrants come knocking, seeking claim to the werewolf brides they were promised. Every Alpha was expected to provide a daughter. It should have been her sister... When Sloane wakes up as a candidate in the ancient Lycan ritual called a Luna Hunt, she realizes she'd been set up from the start. She'd been traded in for her sister. A gambit meant to secure the pack's future...at the cost of hers. Now she's stuck in a brutal event where hundreds of girls with Alpha blood compete for enrollment into Eclipsera, the Lycan Federation Academy. Sloane doesn't expect the academy to turn out to be a cruel game where only the strongest candidates survive. And Sloane? She's the exact opposite of strong. She's human. Her fate takes an even worse turn when she piques the interest of Lykanor's young royals... The royals don't want a mate. Just a common prey. Desperate to escape Eclipsera, and the royal claims she might not survive, Sloane soon realises, she must make a gambit of her own. Because a hidden power is awakening in her, one for which Lycans, Vampires and Werewolves alike, would kill to claim. Including Grayson. DISCLAIMER: R18! This is a dark paranormal (explicit, RH) romance set in a dystopian world where the rules of civilization no longer apply. It's intended for mature readers. Expect themes of power imbalance, survival-based relationships, morally grey characters, dominant-submissive dynamics, and an unhealthy dose of forbidden hunger and smut! (Including MxM) The Luna Hunt is brutal. The rules of the academy are cruel. The royals are not heroes. Their choices are messy, hunger primal and desire intense!

A Dangerous Kind Of Love

It is impossible for a police officer to fall in love with a criminal. That’s what Riley believed. That’s what she was trained to believe. Riley Knox goes undercover knowing exactly what she’s walking into. A powerful CEO. A spotless public image. And rumours of ties to an organisation that has ruined lives and vanished without a trace. Her job is simple: observe, listen, gather proof, and get out. No attachments. No mistakes. But nothing stays simple for long. The more time Riley spends around Nathaniel, the harder it becomes to separate the role she’s playing from the feelings she’s trying to ignore. He isn’t what she expected. He’s careful, quiet and controlled. And somehow, in the middle of lies and half-truths, something real begins to grow between them. Then there’s Melanie. She isn’t part of the investigation, but she becomes impossible to overlook. A child caught between distance and discipline, acting out because it’s the only way to be seen. Loving too loudly in a house that doesn’t know how to love gently. Riley never meant to care, but caring happens anyway. All three of them are struggling in their own way. Riley with the weight of her duty. Nathaniel with the secrets he refuses to let go of. Melanie with emotions she doesn’t yet know how to name. Somehow, without meaning to, they begin to lean on one another. Not perfectly. Not safely. But honestly. And that’s where everything starts to fall apart. Because love built on secrets doesn’t stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes out, Riley will have to choose between the badge she swore to honour and the people she never planned to love. The question is not whether love can survive danger. It’s whether anyone walks away from it unbroken.

Crown of Slaves (SWTOR Sith Inquisitor SI, Futa MC)

There had always been so many things I loved about the story of the Sith Inquisitor. The cleverness, the biting sarcasm, the triumphant story of rising from slave to Dark Councilor in a handful of years, of ritualized Sith Sorcery and, of course, of massive lightning storms. I had always imagined that, should I wake up one day in the world of Star Wars, I would be my favorite character in my favorite universe. Then I awoke, strapped to a table, a slave being tortured and twisted, body and soul, for the amusement and 'advancement' of my owner. I realized that the world I had seen had only been a fraction of it, only the parts that wouldn't fall afoul of Ratings and censorship laws. And I realized that the path to glory was not so easy as a game made it seem. Fine then. I have the advantage of foresight and a touch of Destiny. If I must become 'evil' to gain my freedom and to free the galaxy from its vicious cycle, let me be 'evil'. Or A massive Star Wars nerd ends up in the world of SWTOR pre-game as a slave and realizes that games really undersell things. **This story updates on the 20th of every month**
