Sold to the Alpha

Sold to the Alpha

Kelsie Tate

As she cast a glance over her shoulder, her breath hitched. There he stood. The king.

The air caught in her lungs as their eyes met, a spark flaring in the depths of his gaze.

“Servant,” he said, his voice icy. Her internal wolf surged, screaming one word…

“Mate.”

When Autumn Blackthorne’s parents die, leaving behind a mountain of debt, she is forced to become an indentured servant to the fearsome King Elijah. When she meets the king himself, her inner wolf screams that she has met her mate. But can the alpha king ever see her as more than a maid?

Zombie

Zombie

Rowan Cody

Rayna Lincoln was only eight years old when the zombie outbreak shattered the world she knew. Now grown, she survives in a grim new reality where cities are sealed off and ruled by the infected, and stepping into their streets is a death sentence. With no family left, Rayna grows up in the camps outside the cities, where survival comes at a brutal cost and soldiers treat her as little more than a plaything. When she finally loses faith in humanity, an unlikely savior offers her refuge. But safety is never free in a broken world. Has Rayna truly found a haven—or is she being held for a far darker fate?

The Doctor's Mates Book 1

The Doctor's Mates Book 1

Corinthe Davies

Anastasia thrives on chaos, caffeine, and saving lives during long ER night shifts. She expects blood, broken bones, and the occasional miracle, not a secret call that pulls her into a hidden wolf pack with rules of its own. Medicine meets moonlight as instincts stir and bonds snap into place without asking permission. Three powerful wolves circle her world, each reacting differently to the pull they cannot deny. One offers warmth, one offers loyalty, and one clearly wishes she would disappear. Anastasia carries secrets of her own, and staying detached feels safer than trusting fate. But when destiny growls this loudly, can anyone pretend it is not real?

Tara Lee Curtains

Josette runs from cruelty, desperate for freedom from the pack that broke her spirit. But her escape leads her straight into the territory of a brutal Alpha—one far more feared than the monsters she left behind. Cold, commanding, and bound by ancient power, he cages her once again… but this time, something feels different. There’s danger in his gaze, yes—but also something deeper. As their bond begins to twist into something neither understands, Josette must choose: run again, or face the dark fire between them. In a world on the edge of ruin, their bond could doom them both… or save everything.

Infinity

Mikayla S

I met my mate as a child.

I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.

Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.

Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.

I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?

But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.

“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”

As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.

He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.

Who the hell is my mate?

And what will happen to me now?

When they discover they are destined mates, their worlds collide. Can they defy centuries of prejudice, or will their bond break before it begins? And when an ancient enemy rises, will they stand together—or fall apart?

Lost Lycan's Mate

Lost Lycan's Mate

A. K. Glandt

I stared in awe at the beautiful creature before me.

A Lycan, here in my Pack. This couldn’t be happening.

The Lycans were driven extinct centuries ago. Yet here he was, and I couldn’t fight the magnetic pull dragging me toward him.

He took a step closer to my father, who was standing protectively in front of me. “You have something of mine, and I want it back.”

“Oh yeah? What?” My father snarled.

The Lycan looked straight at me.

“My mate.”

Cleo has lived her entire life without her wolf, and she’s accepted that she doesn’t have one. But when she meets her mate, a long-lost Lycan king, she feels an awakening that will change her life forever.

The Last Bloodline 1: Beta Xavier Costa

The Last Bloodline 1: Beta Xavier Costa

Amina Hazim

“What is this?” Eleanor whispered, her voice trembling as she gazed up at Xavier, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

“Can’t you see? It’s a mating contract agreement,” Xavier replied, his tone devoid of warmth as he looked at her—the woman destined to share his life. Eleanor felt a wave of anxiety wash over her, as if the walls were closing in, amplifying the weight of the moment.

Eleanor never expected to be bound by a six-month mating contract, especially not with Xavier, a man she’s only just met. After losing her mother, she’d held on to the hope that love would find her again, but now she’s facing a forced union with a man whose past is shrouded in mystery and pain. The contract is meant to be temporary, but as Eleanor and Xavier are thrust together, the walls between them grow, and the intensity of their bond is tested. Will they learn to love each other, or will the weight of secrets and unresolved trauma tear them apart?

Captive of the Snake King

Captive of the Snake King

Raven Flanagan

A powerless bastard daughter of the Mage Emperor is sent in the place of her missing elder sister as a decoy bride for a neighboring king. They need his army to win a war against the invading kingdom to the south, but he'll only send aid for a queen.

The princess is taken the wrong way and winds up in the presence of a southern enemy soldier. After days in endless battle, the soldier wants nothing more than to return to his camp and return to winning the war, but the tempting princess is making the journey torturous.

Selene is promised to the gods, meant to become a priestess when her sister is found and rightfully married to the northern king. She questions everything she knows, including her feelings, when she learns who the enemy soldier really is. And by the time he learns that she's not the true born princess, and she's really the powerless daughter, it's too late for his heart as well.

Darius. Slowly, he walks up to me. He grabs my face in his hand, pulling me in. His body presses against mine.

“I smell another man on you, Persephone,” he growls.

If a Lycan resists his mate it will destroy him. When Penny finds herself at a party, hosted by the werewolf royal family, the last thing she expects is Darius Ivanovic Rykov. Gorgeous, mysterious, and ever brooding, he can’t take his eyes off of her. Will they give in to their fated bond? Or will they surrender to the darkness?
