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.”

Heavenly Devouring Dragon Ascension

[The heavens don't play fair. Neither do I.] Raised in a nameless orphanage, Tianhao learned one brutal lesson from the streets: survive by any means necessary. By nine years old, he had mastered deception, calculated every escape route, and forged the Rogue Laws—his own unwritten code of survival. When a powerful clan patriarch adopted him, he still trusted nothing given freely. Yet some kindnesses refuse to be ignored. A girl whose laughter rang like silver bells. A father who knelt in a blood-soaked forest clearing and offered his hand. A scholar who believed in him when the world saw nothing. These quiet moments slowly shaped the hardened street orphan. Then the talent assessment delivered its cruel verdict. Zero stars. No cultivation aptitude. The family’s fallen genius—exiled and forgotten. For one year he trained alone—knuckles bleeding against an ancient oak tree, eating scorched food with bare hands, refusing to break. Not because he had a plan, but because something deep inside simply would not yield. On his sixteenth birthday, the truth awakened. He is not a genius who fell from grace. He is the Supreme Dragon who had forgotten his own bloodline—son of a Supreme Dragon Immortal and an Immortal Sword Saint. Hidden in the mortal world for his protection, he carries nine layers of sealed memories, a ravenous devouring bloodline, and a sword scripture born from his parents’ legendary love story. The talent orb had no language to measure what he truly is. Every technique bears his mother's soul. Every strike echoes his father's tyrannical legacy. And the Rogue Laws forged on the streets remain sharper than any blade. But power grown in the shadows cannot stay hidden forever. A jealous brother's wager, a silent assassination contract, a nation that sees him as a prophesied savior—the world closes in from every side. And his parents wait in a higher realm, their legacy demanding a path he has only begun to walk. The path to the Immortal Realm is long and merciless. The dragon has only just awakened. "In this world, the strong prey upon the weak. With enough strength—would I need to resort to deception and clever tricks?" --- What to Expect: - Intelligent & Strategic MC: Every move calculated. Every enemy dismantled systematically. - Unique Devouring Mechanic: Blood essence, pills, ambient energy—refines everything and wastes nothing. - Dual Cultivation Path: Dragon Physique and Sword Dao that perfectly amplify each other. - Calculated Ruthlessness (with a code): Precise and purposeful. He never breaks his own rules. - Deep Romance Arcs: Emotionally rich relationships built through danger, sacrifice, and genuine chemistry. - 2 chapters daily + frequent mass releases from a committed author.

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.
