Claimed by the Vengeful Alpha

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”

The Affinity of Fate

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

Chased by two billionaires

“Where did you go?” He questioned, not bothering to adjust his unbuttoned shirt. I had run away but here I was coming to apologize for my actions. “You think you can come and go as you please?” His fingers pressed against my cheeks, firm but not painful, forcing me to meet his gaze. “No, I—I,” I stammered, but before I could finish, his lips almost grazing mine, he interrupted, his tone ice-cold. “You will go home this instant,” he spoke, his face dark. “And you'll stay there till I get back,” he barked out his orders, his eyes boring into mine. “Who do you think you are to order me around,” I thought to respond but my lips wouldn’t make a sound. I didn't fight back. I couldn’t. Without another word, I turned and walked away, his gaze searing into my back. ~~~~~~~~~~ After a steamy night with a sexy stranger, Elena finds out she is pregnant.

THE FOX OBSESSION

FOX OBSESSION: BLOOD CORONATION ​THE OVERALL SAGA SYNOPSIS ​“I was sold to pay a debt. I was caged to breed a god. Now, I am the only one left to burn the world down.” ​In a world where genetic engineering is the ultimate currency, Amara—known in laboratory files as Subject Six—is the most expensive mistake ever made. Possessing "The Siphon," a volatile kinetic energy that allows her to drain the life-force of any living being, she is a goddess trapped in a human shell. When her family’s debts spiral out of control, she is sold at a record-breaking underground auction to the man who owns the city’s shadows: Kai Fox. ​SEASON 1: THE GOLDEN CAGE Kai Fox is a billionaire obsidian-eyed predator who doesn't believe in love, only in investments. To him, Amara is his greatest asset—a weapon and a trophy locked within the high-tech sanctuary of the Iron Wing. But the Siphon is a parasitic gift. To prevent Amara from exploding, Kai must act as her "Anchor," a dark, symbiotic bond that ties their heartbeats together. The "Breeding Debt" begins as a cold contract, but it ends in a shockwave that shatters their reality: Amara is pregnant with the first of a new species—Subject Seven. ​SEASON 2: THE AMETHYST REIGN The transition from captive to sovereign begins with a heartbeat. The heir growing inside Amara is a biological predator that has begun to eat Kai’s "Fox-coded" life-force. As Kai begins to physically decay, a 14-day countdown to his extinction begins. Enter Leo, the "Silver Intruder," a clinical rival who offers Amara the "Silence" of a cure—a betrayal of the blood-bond that Kai would rather die than see broken. Amara no longer seeks to escape the cage; she seeks to own it. As her power turns a lethal amethyst, she executes her enemies, sidelines her rivals, and ascends the Fox Throne. ​THE EVOLUTION: FROM DAMSEL TO DICTATOR As the seasons progress, the war for control expands beyond the Vault and into a global struggle for genetic dominance. Amara must navigate the "Hate Paradox"—a reality where her kinetic shield only grows stronger the more she resents the man who owns her heart. In a game of boardroom coups, aerial warfare, and dark science, the question is no longer who will own Subject Six, but who will survive her coronation. ​14 Days to Live. One Throne to Take. No Mercy to Give.
