The Evermore Keeper - Blood Of Fate

Some destinies are written in blood. Others are carved by gods. Angela Meyler was never meant to be ordinary. Raised in the quiet shadows of Georgia, she balanced two lives—one of exams and dorm rooms, the other of ancient rites and whispered spells. By day, she’s just another just another student at a prestigious Georgia university. By night, she’s a rising star at the world’s most elite pagan academy, hiding a power she doesn’t understand and a heritage she was never meant to know. She’s always been good at spells. Too good. Like she was born knowing them. But when a night out leads her to William Enyalius—a rugged soldier with eyes like winter and a presence that haunts her dreams—Angela’s carefully balanced life begins to unravel. He’s the man she’s seen in every nightmare where she does. And now he’s real. Angela wants nothing to do with him. But fate has other plans. As athletes vanish across the globe and a forgotten god rises to reclaim the world, Angela is thrust into a war between immortals—where bloodlines are secrets, love is a weapon, and destiny is written in divine ink. With her best friend at her side, a soul mate she never expected, and enemies wearing the faces of family, Angela must uncover the truth of her bloodline, master a magic older than Olympus, and decide whether to embrace the destiny written in the stars—or forge one of her own. Because Angela isn’t just powerful. She’s the key to a war the gods thought they buried centuries ago. And the gods have been waiting for her.

My Stepbrother Wants Me

EXCERPT✨ “You’ve never had sex before?” Julian asked, disbelief flickering in his eyes. Catherine hesitated, then nodded, staring at the floor instead of him. He bit his lower lip, trying to rein in the thoughts crowding his mind. Goodness, she was too innocent for her own good. “So all you did with your previous boyfriends were just kisses and smooches?” She immediately stood, her cheeks flushed. “There are no boyfriends,” she blurted. “I’ve never even been kissed. Please don’t laugh at me.” Laugh? Hell no. Julian wasn’t laughing. He was fighting the urge to pull her close. Knowing she’d never been touched only made his hunger worse. She didn’t realize he’d moved until his breath brushed her ear, his voice dropping low and dangerous. “Catherine, just say the word and I’ll show you what it means to be touched by a man.” Her heart stuttered in her chest and he could hear every beat. ~~~ Catherine Brown thought moving in with her mother’s new husband couldn’t be harder until she met the cold, arrogant and sinfully attractive Julian Vaughn, her stepbrother.

From enemies to lovers, treason, hate between our two clans. Secrets. War. Love. Damien They say the moon belongs to the wolves, and the night belongs to the vampires. But what happens when the moon and the night collide? When desire is stronger than centuries of bloodshed? When a king built of dominance bows in secret, and another born of wild fire softens only for him? If the world ever knew what we were… if our kingdoms ever discovered what we shared behind locked doors and stolen moments, they wouldn’t call it love. They would call it treason.

The man I should destroy. The lover I cannot live without. ... Adrian They told me Werewolves were monsters. Savage. Mindless. Born only to kill. And I believed them, not until I met him. Damien Blackthorn. The Werewolf King. My enemy, my rival, my obsession. He was everything I wasn’t. Wild, warm, alive. The fire to my cold veins.

Our kingdoms were built on blood and centuries of hate. But every time he looked at me, I forgot the crown, the war, the laws. I only saw him. We burned for each other in secret, in the shadows between war and peace. Enemies by fate. Lovers by heart. In the end… only one of us will survive the fire we started. Or we both will Note: This book contains multiple povs to express each character's views and emotions, but just only the main characters and some supporting ones. I hope you all enjoy the book!

Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By His Cousin

“Damned curses and blood oaths,” Atlas growled. His eyes blazed, not just with desire but with anguish and torment. My heart ached, and my fingers itched to smooth the worry from his face, but… they were tied. “You set my soul on fire, Aria. You’re mine to touch, to ruin, to love in ways no one else ever will. I don’t care if the world burns, if I burn with it. But I’ll be damned if anyone else lays a hand on you. If the goddess wants you, she’ll have to rip you from my cold, dead hands.” “Oh, Atlas,” was all I could breathe as he thrust deep, tearing through every last wall I had left. — Aria Davenport’s life was a mess. Bullied, overlooked, and raised like a side character in her own fairy tale, she figured her mate bond, if it ever showed up, would be underwhelming. Instead, the universe gifted her Kaiden Thorne: her Alpha, longtime crush, and the heartbreak she never saw coming. He rejected her in public, crowned her stepsister as Luna, and for good measure exiled her with a kill-on-sight order. Still not enough? He topped it off by offering her as payment to an aging Alpha desperate for heirs. Escaping that horror, Aria barely survived long enough to be found by Atlas Cooper, Kaiden’s sworn enemy and the broodiest Alpha in the region. Naturally, a second mate bond formed the moment their eyes met. Perfect. Except Atlas wanted nothing to do with the bond, or with her. Maybe both. The truth was Atlas refused to mark her. Nine mates had died by his side, and he couldn’t risk Aria becoming the tenth. And while he kept his distance, Aria was left to untangle more than heartbreak and second chances. Because her past held a truth powerful enough to destroy packs. Someone had already killed to bury it. Now someone else was hunting her to finish the job. Aria was being hunted for reasons she didn’t understand, caught between two powerful Alphas, and standing on the edge of a truth that could shatter everything. Can she survive when claiming either Alpha could cost her everything? And when the secret comes to light, will she rise as the salvation of the packs, or their undoing?
