It was a love that brought destruction and a relationship bound by a curse. Hate hung in the air like a thick fog, taunted by revenge, and the weight of the past was a burden they both carried. Could fate and the goddess be wrong to pair two hearts that seemed so incompatible? "Make the best use of your legs!" The voice echoed in her mind, and she stumbled forward, her legs shaking with each step. She knew that the universe had given her a chance to escape once, and she doubted it would offer her another. Tears blurred her vision, and she wiped them away furiously, desperate to keep her focus. "Don't make me do this," he taunted from behind her, and her heart thumped in her chest. All she wanted was freedom. It was the only thing that mattered. But his growl behind her made her stumble, and she fell to the ground, her ankle throbbing in pain. He loomed over her, his red eyes glowing in the darkness. "How long do you think you can hide from me, huh?" he taunted, breathing heavily like he hadn't been chasing her. "Just kill me already!" she screamed, her voice hoarse and desperate. But he only laughed and lifted her tiny figure into his arms. "Why's my life the worst?" she cried, tears streaming down her face. "What have I ever done? All I wanted was a chance for revenge!" He leaned in close to her, his lips brushing against her ear. "No, my dearest mate," he whispered, his breath hot against her skin. "You must pay for his sins."

Elara Veyne has spent nineteen years being the wolf nobody can smell. In a world where every werewolf has a scent that reveals their identity, rank, and sometimes their bloodline, Elara has none. She has never shifted, never understood why she is different, and has spent her life believing she was simply born wrong. Then the Moon Choosing Ceremony changes everything. Kael Draven, the feared Alpha of the Northern Territories, arrives at Elara's pack expecting an ordinary political visit. Instead, the moment he sees her, his wolf claims her as his mate. There's only one problem. He can't smell her. As Kael searches for answers, Elara discovers that her adoptive brother Damon has spent nineteen years hiding the truth about her parents. They didn't abandon her. They died protecting her. And her missing scent wasn't a defect. It was a secret. A secret tied to the Duskborn, an ancient bloodline believed to have been wiped out generations ago. Now someone has found her. With dangerous Alphas gathering, old grudges resurfacing, and nightmares connecting Elara and Kael in ways neither can explain, Elara must uncover what her parents died to protect before the people who hunted her bloodline find her first. Because the most dangerous thing about Elara Veyne isn't that she has no scent. It's what she's been hiding all along.

Some think I'm cursed. Others think I'm unlucky. But I know what I am. My name is Leora, and I am the Redwood Pack's Alpha's daughter. Well, until my mother died. My father remarried late, so the Pack moved on to new hands. My new stepmother, Amarie, is a spawn of Satan. She gives me to the new Alpha's household as a maidservant as a price for not exiling my father. I become an outcast, abused and punished every single day. On my eighteenth birthday, I find out that I'm mated to the new Alpha's son, Caleb. Enraged, he rejects me, throwing me into the dungeons. In pains, I remain there for days. Then one fateful night, my luck changes. The Lycan King is visiting the Pack to find a mate. Which happens to be me. I'm alone, crying that night, when a towering golden-eyed man charges in and rips the dungeon doors off their hinges. I gasp when he cups my chin, and whispers softly. "Stop crying, mate. I'm here now. And I'll make sure no one ever brings you to tears ever again!" I thought my problems were over then. But it was only the beginning.

Alana did not know the word freedom and happiness having been confined in the basement of her family’s house accused of killing her own mother. She’s beaten, cursed at, and barely survived from crumbs of food thrown at her. She thought this is her final destiny and has accepted the bitter fate of her life not until the night of her 21st birthday, a mysterious alpha appeared at her door telling her that she is the long-lost daughter of the alpha king and claiming her as his mate he’s been looking for several years now.

“I, Logan Carter, Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, reject you, Emma Parker of the Crescent Moon Pack.” I could feel my heart breaking. Leon was howling inside me, and I could feel his pain. She was looking right at me, and I could see the pain in her eyes, but she refused to show it. Most wolves fall to their knees from pain. I wanted to fall to my knees and claw at my chest. But she didn’t. She was standing there with her head held high. She took a deep breath and closed her wonderful eyes. “I, Emma Parker of the Crescent Moon Pack, accept your rejection.” When Emma turns 18, she is surprised that her mate is the Alpha of her pack. But her happiness about finding her mate didn't last long. Her mate rejected her for a stronger she-wolf. That she-wolf hates Emma and wants to get rid of her, but that isn't the only thing Emma has to deal with. Emma finds out that she is not an ordinary wolf and that there are people who want to use her. They are dangerous. They will do everything to get what they want. What will Emma do? Will her mate regret rejecting her? Will her mate save her from the people around them?

Turning back to me and the pack, he announced, "I am taking a chosen mate befitting of the position of the Luna of this great pack." His announcement didn't come as a shocker to me. I sort of expected it, but I thought he'd surprise me. I thought that the mate bond wouldn't be this weak. Looking at me squarely, he said, "I, Alpha Karsten Shadowcroft of the Blood Moon Pack, reject you, Amelia Holloway as my mate." My knees buckled after hearing his words, and a sudden weakness spread through my limbs. ******* Amelia Holloway had always yearned for a mate to help her escape her miserable life. Despite being wolfless, she had a chance to find him on her 18th birthday because it was the night of the blood moon. But fate dealt a cruel hand. Her mate turned out to be Alpha Karsten, the man who tormented her for years. Not only did he reject her, but he chose another over her, shattering her already fragile world. With all hopes of getting her freedom and finding love lost, a chance encounter with the Lycan King, Alexander Blackthorn, brought a ray of hope into her life. Can Amelia escape her past and embrace this newfound hope, or will betrayal tear it all down? What happens when skeletons from the past come lurking? Will her love triumph over everything?

Ella is a 17-year-old omega servant, who has been abused by the alpha and beta of her pack for quite some time. After they are killed, a new alpha takes over the pack and Ella tries to run away and start a new life for herself. However, fate does not allow her to escape into the human world when she gets caught and taken back to the pack house to be punished by her new alpha for running away. Alpha Klaus is conflicted about punishing a 17-year-old girl who was obviously running away from something, or someone. Yet, he needed to set an example for her to prove to his new pack that he is not to be crossed with. Dangerous secrets require alpha Klaus to keep Ella safe and protect her despite her apparent hatred of him. Will she ever be able to trust another alpha again? Will alpha Klaus ever open his heart to someone else after he lost his mate?

He wanted her and she wanted him. But they were not fated to be. So did they think until the spell landed and he was stolen from her. He hurt her and drew out her essence. He was covered in her fragrance and he realized her scent was meant for him but it was too late. She was the savior of a world gone mad. She was chosen to save the world but she needed to be saved. Pearl Shelby is a half-blood Vampire but her necklace hid her identity. Her destiny began when her step-mother dropped her at Hopkins Citadel to get rid of her. Hopkins Citadel is a supernatural school in the woods where humans are treated as outcasts. It turns out that Pearl holds a mystery that all supernatural beings are dying to possess. Will she be safe? Who will keep her safe?

My fated mate rejected me under the Blood Moon. I died screaming his name. I woke up in hell—and the Moon Goddess is waiting. The Lunar Veil isn't the afterlife. It's a trial ground for broken wolves, where Luna strips away everything that makes you human until only truth remains. Ten trials. No mercy. Fail, and your soul burns to ash. My guide? Astro—a fallen Alpha with silver scars and secrets older than sin. He's supposed to help me survive. Instead, we're breaking every rule Luna ever made. Each trial I survive makes me stronger. Each touch between us burns hotter. And the red thread linking our fates? It's the one thing the goddess can't control.

His personality, which is not easy, worsened after he did not arrive in time to save the one who was predestined to be his companion. He has spent years of his life searching for the one destined for him. For him, his companion is his greatest weakness, and he was not willing to give her up for anything in the world.

I sat right next to him and stared at his sleeping face. "I'm sorry. I can't let you see me like this. You deserve someone strong and beautiful. I am nothing but a weak and useless she-wolf." I said out loud. I got up and went downstairs. I was going to go back to my apartment, but there was heavy rain outside. It would make it harder for me to get out of the no-man's-land safely. 'Is your decision already final?' Avi asked. 'Yes, Avi. I don't want to be around when he wakes up. I can't handle another breakup. Not from my mate. The less he knows, the better.' I replied. 'How are you so sure that he is going to reject us? We haven't even met him properly. What if he is not like Uriah?' She asked. 'I don't want to get my hopes high and then end up getting hurt. Yes, he may not be like Uriah. He can be the worst.' I replied. I stood by the door and watched as the rain fell and the thunder roared. They were like music to my troubled heart. At least, even for a little while, all the pain would go. If only the rain could wash all my pain away. Once the rain stopped, I would go back to my apartment and pack my bags. I would go as far away as possible from here. What he doesn't know won't hurt him. For now, I was going to let the rain numb my pain away. That was, until he engulfed me in a hug. "Mate." he groaned.

Lola is an omega within the Red Dagger pack. She was found as a baby abandoned in the woods by her adoptive mother, who has long passed by now. Lola is not your typical submissive she wolf. She is sassy, with anger issues bubbling just beneath the surface. With her curvy body, blonde hair and green eyes she is the total opposite of all the other wolves appearance wise. And as a result, is treated like an outcast after her best friend Chris – the alpha heir – turns on her without warning as young children. Ignored by almost everyone and bullied and beaten by her former best friend and his gang daily, Lola long awaits the day and year she turns 18 when she gets her wolf and is able to finish high school to leave Red Dagger.

"Listen up everyone!" I yelled to gain everyone's attention "Your trainer Antony, is going to be gone for the foreseeable future. YOU lucky ladies have the pleasure to be trained by me. Antony is a nursery teacher compared to the hell you will soon be facing by me" I stated authoritatively. "Little girl I have morning shits bigger than you" yelled a testosterone-induced joke from the back causing snickers to erupt throughout the crowd. "Then I'd suggest eating more greens and lessening up on protein and testosterone. You know that sh*t causes your willy to shrink up and fall off right" I retorted. I watched the man turn purple with rage before charging towards the stage. Immediately taking a side stance I prepare to take the idiot Alpha 'gracefully'.  Kicking off the stage I performed my perfect Tornado barrel kick to the dumbass's head. Connecting with a loud crack and landing gracefully on my feet bowing to my audience of alphas, knowing full well that alpha is not getting up for a while. "Any more volunteers?" I said smugly. "Nope, alrighty then. So, going forward I am not someone to mess with. I do not take lightly to those who challenge me, and I do not respond to assholes who think little ladies belong barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. If you have those prejudices, I am more than willing to clear those thoughts from your head. And for jackasses like this one, off your head. Do I make myself clear?"
