Alpha’s Daughter: Bound To The Enemy And Marked For Sacrifice

“You want me back now, Ethan?” I laughed softly, though it sounded nothing like joy. “After your pack chained me, called me a spy, and nearly executed me? After you marked me by deceit, caged me, treated me like a slave, made me believe I was nothing—and after you almost killed me for your sacrifice?” My voice broke for a heartbeat before hardening again. “I gave you everything, Ethan—my loyalty, my trust, my heart—and what did I get in return? A dagger through it.” His eyes glistened, his voice cracking. “Soraya, please… let me make it right.” The wind shifted. The Moon’s light brushed my face like a cold touch, painting silver over the tears I refused to let fall—its glow crowning me in quiet defiance. “You can’t fix what you destroyed,” I said, my voice steady now, sharp as the edge of a blade. “You wanted to own me, Ethan. But the tide has turned.” I stepped closer, and the earth seemed to tremble beneath my bare feet. The air thickened, my power humming through it like a storm waiting to break. “I belong to no one,” I whispered— and the night bowed to my voice. Silver flames erupted, curling and dancing across my skin like living fire. It wasn’t pain—it was power, pure and ancient, claiming me as its vessel. My eyes burned with silver light, bright enough to cut through the darkness. Ethan stumbled back, his breath hitching as the weight of my power pressed against him. Slowly, his head lowered—not out of command, but from something deeper. Reverence. Guilt. Surrender. The Alpha bowed to the force he could no longer control—to the woman he could never again break. --- Once, Soraya believed in love. Once, she thought Ethan Vander—billionaire CEO and cursed heir of the Silverfang Pack—was her destiny. But love became a cage, and destiny became a curse. Ethan was born with a curse: any wolf who bonded with him was doomed to die. Yet his father, desperate to end the curse, demanded a sacrifice—his mate’s life in exchange for the curse. The blade was already chosen. Soraya had already been marked. On the night of their bonding, fate revealed its cruel truth. The Moon priestess exposed Soraya’s hidden blood—she was wolf-born, the Alpha’s daughter of Blackwood, the pack that once hunted her from birth for carrying the mark of the moon which they called a curse,and also a rival pack to Silverfang. Branded a spy, she was claimed as Ethan’s prisoner… and there, she discovered the final cruelty: She was carrying his child. But when the Moon finally answered her call, Soraya awakened. Her power rose like silver flame, divine, ancient and unstoppable. The gift once called a curse became her crown. Now, both Blackwood and Silverfang want her—one to tame her, the other to claim her. But Soraya belongs to no one. And neither Silverfang nor Blackwood was ready for what Soraya became. --- Soraya’s journey is not just one of survival, but of awakening—of a woman who refuses to be broken, of a wolf who will not be caged. This is a story of betrayal and curses, but also of love, sacrifice, and the fire of a mother who will protect her child at any cost. --- Reader’s Note: This book contains mature themes, including intense romance and occasional erotic scenes. Reader discretion is advised. If you’re ready to step into a world of forbidden love, blood oaths, and a heroine who will rise from exile to shake the foundations of two rival packs—then welcome to Alpha’s Daughter.

I Married My Ex-Fiancé’s Useless Billionaire Uncle For Revenge

My engagement ended in humiliation. One moment, I was the bride-to-be. Next, my fiancé was slipping a ring onto another woman’s finger—nope, not just anyone, my half-sister! And the whole city watched. So I did the unthinkable. I kissed the one man I was never supposed to touch—his aloof, very hot, useless uncle. Dominic Fletcher. It was supposed to be revenge. A scandal to wipe away my shame. Until he stole my bra—and with it, my senses… and my already fragile heart. “Give it back!” I demanded, reaching for my bra, but he only lifted it higher. “I’ll keep this as a memento, Kitten,” he murmured, eyes dark, voice dangerously seductive. But Dominic Fletcher was far from useless. Behind the nonchalant façade was a ruthless power only I had glimpsed. And now, he wants to help me take my revenge— “Marry me, sweetness,” Dominic rasped, gaze sharp as steel. “I’ll make everyone who offended you a foot mat. What do you say?” How could I say no? I’d do anything to make that worthless, piece-of-shit scumbag ex lose sleep for the rest of his life and become his worst nightmare. So I said yes—to his uncle. I became his aunt-in-law. Then I returned, victorious and unbroken. My family pleaded for me to forgive them. My ex-fiancé fell to his knees, clutching my hand. “Let’s start again, Harper,” he begged. “You’re the only one I cherish.” I stared at him icily. “Excuse me, boy. Do I know you?”

My Contract Marriage with my Narcissist Boss

Kang Hye-rin thought she’d buried her past — especially the memory of Lee Joon-hyuk, the boy who once humiliated her in front of their entire school. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Years later, he’s her boss — colder, sharper, and infuriatingly handsome in a suit that probably costs more than her rent. And just when she’s finally learned how to avoid him, he makes an offer that flips her world upside down. A contract marriage. ₩150 million now, ₩200 million after one year. No emotions. No strings. Just business. For Joon-hyuk, it’s the perfect way to protect his company and calm the board’s demands for a “stable” image. For Hye-rin, it’s the only way to save her family’s restaurant and pay off the debt her father took after her brother’s accident. But living under the same roof with a man she once hated — a man whose slightest glance still makes her heart stutter — turns out to be harder than she ever imagined. Every argument sparks, every silence hums, and every accidental touch blurs the line between pretending and feeling. He’s arrogant, jealous, and dangerously charming. She’s stubborn, proud, and one heartbeat away from falling again. And somewhere between the lies, laughter, and late-night standoffs… their fake marriage starts to feel a little too real. Because sometimes, love doesn’t knock — it barges back in wearing a perfect suit and an infuriating smirk. Contemporary romance, Ceo, enemies-to-lovers, Korean setting, handsome male lead, strong female lead, slow burn, love triangle.

Sera Kim is everything the campus adores: bright, cheerful, and impossibly warm—a living “Sunshine” whose laughter fills the halls of Seorim University. But the girl everyone sees is only a mask.

Julian is the young, stoic, and enigmatic economics professor whose perfection commands respect and inspires awe. He is disciplined, sharp, and untouchable—but Sera has loved him openly for years. Unlike ordinary crushes, her affection is fearless and unapologetic—so visible that everyone on campus knows, yet so profound that no one can truly understand its depth. In her final year, Sera no longer hides behind subtle admiration. She expresses her love boldly, laughing in class, lingering near him, and letting the world witness her devotion. Julian remains unreadable, neither reciprocating nor rejecting, but his quiet attention keeps hope alive. Beneath the Sunshine is a story of love, identity, and courage—where the radiant persona of Sera Kim conceals the strength and depth of Seraphina Vale. It’s a tale of loving openly, pursuing relentlessly, and daring to stand in the light of someone’s gaze without fear. Will her unwavering devotion melt Julian’s cold exterior, or will it remain an unrequited passion that defines her final year?

Petals Before the Dawn

Kyoto never sleeps. It hums—a restless animal of politics, money, and secrets. And in the Hanabira Teahouse, where weak men come to pretend they have power, one woman owns the room without ever pretending. Ren. Men don’t come to see her beauty. They come to be defeated by it. Every step is a challenge. Every glance, a dare. Her laugh slashes through conversations like a blade dipped in perfume. She is the lotus that refused to drown in mud. Years ago, a child sat beside the Shirakawa River waiting for parents who never returned. A game of hide and seek, they said. The silence that followed carved something feral into her bones. Silence is erasure. Silence is death. So Ren learned to survive by being impossible to ignore. Tonight, the teahouse glows with lanterns and gold-painted illusions. The air reeks of sake, incense, and desperation. Ren lounges on the raised platform, dripping in silk and arrogance, entertaining lords who laugh too loudly at jokes she doesn’t bother to finish. She controls the room with noise, wit, and spectacle. Then the door slides open. A man enters—silent. Not timid. Not intimidated. Just silent. Captain Kageyama. A soldier who carries war in his posture and exhaustion in his eyes. He moves like a man who has seen too many bodies and feels nothing about it anymore. Ren targets him immediately. He doesn’t even look at her. Instead, he walks past the hurricane of colors and selects Haru, the quiet girl by the corner. Haru bows timidly, flustered. Ren’s smile freezes. "He ignored me." For the first time in years, Ren feels the cold sting of invisibility. Her heart hammers with an old, unwelcome fear — the riverside silence. She refuses to let that happen again. Fine. If the soldier wants peace, she will invade it. If he wants silence, she will shatter it. Because no one ignores Ren. Not without consequence.
