Twenty years ago, a wave of magic tore through every barrier that had once hidden the beasts from humans. Now they live among us. Feared. Desired. Worshipped. Deadly. The beasts claimed half the country for themselves, leaving humans to fight over what remained. Cities grew crowded. Poverty spread. And the fragile peace between both species quickly became something uglier. But humans have never known when to stop. So when the government launches a dangerous coexistence initiative, eighteen-year-olds are sent to live among the very creatures their parents were taught to fear. That is how Aria ends up at Bestiaris Academy, the most dangerous beast institution in the kingdom, where heirs of powerful bloodlines are trained before entering human society. A place so deadly, survival is never guaranteed. No sane parent would willingly send their daughter there. But Aria’s did. They sold her. Now trapped in a world where every student carries a beast inside them, Aria has nothing. Or so she thought. Because Bestiaris Academy is more than a school. It is a battlefield. And somehow, Aria has caught the attention of the three beasts who rule it. Caelis Cobryn, the silver-haired basilisk prince of the Snake Clan, is cold, calculating, and lethal enough to kill with a single glance. Rhydian Drakhar, the red-haired dragon heir, is as savage and destructive as the fire burning in his veins. Maverick Nightshade, the arrogant wolf prince, is every bit as dangerous as the smile he wears too easily. Together, they rule the school. Their power is absolute. Their cruelty, unchecked. And to them, no human girl belongs here. Humans in their world are nothing more than prey. A toy to break. But they forget one thing. In a kingdom ruled by beasts, the most dangerous creature of all might be the girl who has none. Because when fate strips a girl of everything, the only thing left to become… is a REBEL.

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

"Marry me," he said, his lips curving into a cruel smirk. "Let me help you destroy them." I should have walked away. I should have told Axel O'Brien, billionaire and the coldest man I’ve ever met, that I wasn’t desperate enough to make a deal with the devil. But I was. On what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, my fiancé didn’t just ruin me; he had the audacity to confess he had loved my sister all along, and now she was carrying his child. He ended up marrying her instead of me, while I was left alone, broken and humiliated. And the worst part? My family let it happen. They said I was the eldest child and should learn to give in to my younger sister. They treated me like nothing, expecting me to disappear into the shadows. But they thought wrong. Now, I’m standing beside a man far more dangerous than any of them. A man who doesn’t believe in love, only power. His deal is simple: become his wife, and together we’ll make them regret ever betraying me. Except what I didn’t know was that Axel had his own twisted reasons for helping me, and I might have been his vengeance all along. Now I have to save myself from catching real feelings for this husband of mine, who plays the part of a devoted partner a little too well. Because revenge was supposed to be simple... until him.

[Matured Content] Saving an injured Fae in the forest had not been Islinda's plan, and worse, he turns out to be royalty, Prince Valerie of the summer court, heir and crown prince to the throne of Astaria. But then, humans were wary of those otherworldly creatures while the Fae looked down on the humans, thinking of them as lesser creatures. Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love.  Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him.  But then, the other one comes instead.  Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage.  Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured  Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize.  Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince.  But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart!  Or could he?  ________ "What can you offer me, little human," He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything.  "Please," She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, "Just let me go."  "Fine," He shrugged as if it was an easy request, "You can go."  "W-what?" She croaked, finding it hard to believe.  "Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily." Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath.  But did he really mean?  Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet.  She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming.  Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake.  This was never freedom.  It was a hunt.  And she just became the prey.  _________ Note: This is a dark fantasy book and the male lead is a villain, so don't expect fluffy romance. What to expect? Death, gore, thick sexual tension, and explicit scenes. Also, it is not reverse harem. Gift magic castle = 5 bonus chapters! Come, let us have a wild hunt!

Some said he was a monster, while others claimed he was so hideous that his mother had no choice but to hide his face from birth.

Gabriel lived an isolated life for twenty-five years of his life.  Unfortunately, he's tired of the mask and wants to live a "normal" life. After planting a fill-in to take his place so as not to draw attention to his absence, Gabriel decides to take control of his destiny and travels to another city secretly. However, fate seems to have other plans for him. Zoe Clark is a chronic liar and was once a  spoiled young miss until her family went bankrupt. Unfortunately, she returned from the states and had to lie and keep up with her past lifestyle.

Yes, they were going to be roommates.  Buckle your belts people, because there are certain rules to staying together.  —-------------- "Why do you want that cellphone so much?" Zoe questioned him, unable to understand his obsession with the device. He was rich for crying out loud, he could always get another one.  "None of your business," Gabriel answered, hoping that would end her questioning. However, he was wrong because she stepped into his room with him.  "Do you know?" Zoe continued, not paying attention to the fact that she has overstepped her boundaries by stepping into his room, uninvited. She just broke one of the house rules.  "My father says I'm like a dog because when I get a scent, I pursue it to the end. I know you're lying and hiding something …." Zoe tried to grab his arm to get his attention since he had his back turned to her.  However, it happened in the twinkle of an eye, she was pushed up against the wall with Gabriel snarling down at her face, "It's none of your goddamn business! I feed you and keep your lying ass out of the streets and you find the cell phone, period!"  A small gasp left Zoe's lips, stunned at the brutality in his tone. Why was he so sensitive to that phone?  With her chest heaving, they stared at each other and she was unable to say a word. However, it wasn't until a minute later that Zoe realized how intimate they were in this position with their bodies pressed flush against each other.  She gulped, they just broke one of the house rules.  And why does he look so handsome with an angry face?  Dear God, she must have lost her  mind. ---- Want a mix of comedy with fluffy romance with sizzling attraction?

Hence, there was no way on earth you could have heard that," Duane chuckled, the kind that sent tremors down her body, "That's your mistake honey, I was listening in class," was his reply as he leaned against the wall, coming too close for her liking.

" she asked exasperated, and began to wipe her face with her palm obsessively. At her sixth wipe, Asher stopped her and drew her towards him, staring at her with this odd gleam in his eyes. His cold, smooth hands cupped her cheek and rubbed away a hot tear with his thumb. "Nothing is wrong with you" He assured her, his thumb caressing her cheek while his eyes fixed on her's intent.
