rejected

In a werewolf pack that despised weakness, Aphrodite learned to survive by staying quiet, keeping her head down, and enduring cruelty in silence. The Alpha heirs hated her. The future Beta and Gamma made her life unbearable. When she finally breaks and seeks freedom at the Moon Goddess temple, she does not find release. She finds truth. Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate. The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all. As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path. Love does not come in one form. Neither does power. In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected. Not a queen. But the axis upon which the world turns.

She was his dead brother's mate. By tradition, she now belonged to him. It was an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. All she had to do was be his breeder, part her legs and bear him sons. But Prince Ruin was cruel. And every day was a rejection from Ruin, a constant humiliation ritual to remind her once more that she was nothing but a warm c*nt and a womb to bear his children. One day, after a betrayal too jarring to bear, Guinevere Laurent decided she'd had enough. She abandoned her duties as Princess and fled from her mad groom under a different identity, with a secret she hoped no one else would discover. Only to get run over by a popular billionaire Alpha, Draven, who had been in town for a visit. Five years later, Guinevere is a stable business owner and engaged to Alpha Draven who treats her like she is his world. But Ruin won't have it that his bride got away from him. When he finally finds Guinevere after five long years of searching, it is at the wedding altar, about to be bound to another man, and with a little boy with fangs, calling her "Mom." And Ruin does the only thing that seems right in his books. He abducts his runaway breeder from her wedding. "Forgive me, Vi," he says. I tilt my head. "Get on your knees." He sinks to his knees, gazing up at me with hooded eyes as I strut over to where he kneels. I delve my fingers into his hair and push him down to my heels. "Kiss my feet." His head lowers, but instead, he grips my calves and brings his lips between my legs. "How about I kiss you here instead?" His mouth brushes against my heat. "Will you forgive me then?" Warning: The male lead is both the villain and the hero. There will be other men you ship with the female lead out of fear for her life and mental health. But Ruin is a constant you must get used to. Because he's always there. Ruin is essential in the way Chaos is, and if there is one thing I promise you, it is that you will come to crave him, too. Because normal is boring. This is a dark, erotic romance. Open it at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now that you've decided to ignore my warning, please, by all means, enjoy.

"Who knew that something so beautiful could come out of Ronan." He says, as he runs the backs of his fingers up and down across my nipple "Who would have imagined," he says slowly, savoring every word, "that something so exquisite could be born from a man as vile as your father." His eyes trace me with deliberate leisure, stripping, measuring. I felt skinned under his gaze. "A rapist," he continues lightly, as if reciting lines from a book. "A butcher of children. A coward who kills pregnant women and plunges his weapon into a friend's back." He stepped closer. Too close. "And yet," he murmurs, voice dropping, "he left this behind." His smile sharpened. I can't move. I can't breathe. "You should be grateful," he goes on, almost kindly. "If you had been born uglier, I would have killed you like the rest." A pause, then his hands on my cheek, gentle. "But beauty like yours," he adds, eyes darkening, "is worth breaking slowly." * What is worse than being rejected once? Being rejected two more times.

They wanted a villain. So I became one. {Readers discretion (R 18+} I wasn’t born cruel. I was kind, trusting, easy to deceive. The perfect fool. They took advantage of that. They stripped me of my pride, my dignity, my life. I was abused, used, and finally murdered. They thought that was the end, but it wasn’t. I came back, not for mercy or forgiveness , but for revenge. The worst part? The two men who once rejected me, mocked me, and called me unworthy are now bound to me. My mates. The same men who watched me fall now want me at their side. Obsessed. Possessive. Desperate for forgiveness they don’t deserve. Do they think I’ll forgive them? No. I didn’t return to heal wounds. I returned to burn everything down.

The words hung in the air between us. I looked down, following his gaze, and saw it, the unmistakable bulge pressed against his pants, hard and straining. My pheromones. They were affecting him. "I would like to take you up on your offer," he muttered, his voice rugged, tipping into ravenous. Confusion whirled through me. "What offer?" "The kiss," he whispered. "Not a peck, Thea." My heart ceased beating, liquid fire filling my veins. "I want tongue.” — Dark paranormal romance Morally Grey ML Forced proximity Captor/Captive ENEMIES to lovers Fated mates Angst Smut

At eighteen, while most are just starting to dream, I was living two lives. By morning, a BBA student; by afternoon, a diligent clerk in a high-stakes Ahmedabad office.

After months of being the invisible student, I traded my files for a red saree, finally forcing the man behind the desk to see the woman I had become.

Lyra Vale was born bondless, rankless, and unwanted. In a world where lineage decides worth, she was meant to disappear quietly. Instead, the wolves bowed. When Lyra’s unclassified Alpha power awakens during a deadly attack, it sends shockwaves through the werewolf hierarchy—and straight into the territory of Silverhide, home of the most feared Alpha in the North.

And Aeron must face the truth: The most dangerous thing about Lyra Vale isn’t her power. It’s the bond forming between them, one that could remake the werewolf world… Or burn it to the ground. She was never meant to be claimed. But his wolf already has.

Linnea Thorne had one rule: survive senior year, get into college, escape her mother's terrible taste in men. Then her mom married Daemon Silvercrest—Alpha of the most powerful werewolf pack in North America—and Linnea's human life shattered. Because Daemon came with a son. Caspian Silvercrest. Twenty-three. Devastatingly beautiful. Violently dangerous. Future Alpha with a reputation for breaking she-wolves' hearts and leaving chaos in his wake. He beds a different woman every night, fights like a demon, and looks at Linnea like she's his next conquest. She hates him instantly. The smirk. The arrogance. The way he leans in doorways shirtless, all muscle and alpha dominance, watching her with molten silver eyes that strip her bare. "Stay out of my way, little human," he warns the first night. "And for God's sake, stop walking around in those little pajama shorts. Unless you're trying to start something you can't finish." She's NOT trying to start anything. She wants nothing to do with her stepbrother or his supernatural world. But living under the same roof makes avoidance impossible. Especially when Caspian's wolf recognizes something his human side refuses to acknowledge. She's his fated mate. The one bond that transcends all laws. The connection that makes her his and him hers, written in the stars and howled by the moon. Except she's human. His stepsister. And accepting the bond means she'll transform on her eighteenth birthday—a process that kills most humans. Caspian fights it violently, taking other women to bed to prove the bond means nothing. But his wolf is screaming. Every male who looks at Linnea triggers his rage. Every night she's not in his arms feels like dying. And Linnea? She feels it too. The inexplicable pull. The way her body responds to his nearness. The dreams where silver eyes and sharp teeth promise forever. They're stepsiblings. It's forbidden. Impossible. Wrong. So why does his darkness feel like home? And why would he slaughter his own pack to keep her?
