A girl who sees too much. A boy who hides what he is. A secret that could burn both their worlds down. In the heart of the city, eighteen-year-old Ivy is a ghost. Reserved and misunderstood, she finds her only escape in her sketchbook. Hoping to pull her out of her shell, her parents move her to a remote cabin in the North Woods-a place where the silence is heavy and the shadows seem to move. Deep in those woods, Ivy witnesses the impossible: a boy named Silas shattering and reforming into a massive, charcoal wolf. Silas is a prince of a hidden world, bound by ancient laws to keep his kind a secret from "the hairless ones." But he is a rebel, drawn to the human world, and when he saves Ivy from a lethal bear attack, the thin veil between their lives vanishes. As Ivy's parents unknowingly welcome the predator into their home to heal, a forbidden bond forms-one that defies the laws of the pack and the logic of the human world. But the woods have ears. Silas's father, the ruthless Alpha, smells the human scent on his son's skin, and the pack is closing in to "clear" the threat. To protect the girl he loves, Silas must challenge the Alpha in a brutal duel for the right to be free. But even if he wins, a new shadow is rising. Men with scanners and tactical gear are moving into the forest, and they aren't looking for a story-they're looking for a specimen. The hunt has begun. And this time, there is nowhere left to hide.

The Werewolf I Love Chapter 1 The Static

The hum of the city always felt like it was vibrating inside Ivy's teeth. It was a Tuesday, and the air in the subway was thick with the smell of damp coats and old metal. Ivy leaned her forehead against the cool glass of the train window, watching the tunnel lights blur into long, yellow streaks. She was eighteen, but most days she felt like she was a hundred years old, or maybe like she wasn't there at all. When she got to school, she did what she always did: she found the quietest corner of the cafeteria and opened her sketchbook.

She didn't have a "group." She had a few people she'd say hey to in the halls, but no one who would notice if she just stopped showing up. She was halfway through a drawing of a bird skeleton when a shadow fell over her page. "That's kind of dark, don't you think?" Ivy looked up. It was a girl from her English lit class-someone with a bright smile and a lot of friends. Ivy didn't know how to respond, so she just shrugged and pulled her sleeves over her palms. "It's just a study," Ivy muttered. The girl lingered for a second, probably waiting for Ivy to say something else, but the silence stretched out until it got awkward. The girl eventually walked away, and Ivy felt that familiar sting of regret. She wanted to talk; she just didn't know how to bridge the gap between her head and her mouth. That evening, the apartment felt too small. Her dad, Liam, was hovering by the stove, and her mom, Sloane, was sorting through mail at the counter. They were good parents-the kind who actually listened-but they looked at Ivy like she was a puzzle they couldn't quite solve. "Ivy, sit down for a second," Liam said, turning off the burner. Ivy dropped her backpack by the door and sat. She could tell by the look on their faces that they'd been whispering about her before she walked in. "We're worried," Sloane said plainly. She didn't sugarcoat it. "You spend eighteen hours a day with those headphones on. We love that you're artistic, but we're losing you, honey." "I'm right here," Ivy said, though she knew what they meant. "We're going to the cabin," Liam intervened. "That old place up north near the border. I bought it years ago as an investment, but it's just sitting there. No cell service, no city noise. Just us. We're going for the break." Ivy looked at the smudge of lead on her finger. The thought of being trapped in a house with her parents for a week sounded exhausting, but the thought of staying in the city felt worse. "Okay," Ivy said. "When do we leave?" "Friday," Sloane said, looking relieved. "Pack light. It's mostly just dirt and trees up there." Ivy nodded and went to her room. She didn't pack clothes first. She packed her charcoal, her heavy paper, and her favorite kneaded eraser. She didn't know why, but she felt a strange pull toward the idea of the woods-a feeling that for the first time in her life, she might actually find something worth drawing.

The Fallen Heiress's Debt to the Billionaire

Shen Xiyan

I was once the princess of the Upper East Side, but now I’m just "debt wrapped in pretty skin." To keep my father alive in a federal penitentiary, I signed a contract I didn't fully understand. I thought it was about restoring my family's name, but producer Barnett Orr treated it like a bill of sale for my soul. Inside his limousine, the air smelled like gasoline and fear. Barnett didn't want a star; he wanted a victim. He bruised my jaw and ripped my vintage silk gown to shreds, laughing because he knew I couldn't fight back without signing my father's death warrant. "Don't forget who owns you, Felicity," he whispered. When he dragged me into Dewitt Knight’s penthouse party, I was a walking disaster. I huddled in Barnett’s oversized jacket, my lip bleeding and my spirit shattered. The elite crowd didn't see a victim; they saw a fallen girl selling herself for a role. A former rival poured red wine over me, and the room erupted in cruel laughter while Barnett told everyone he was just "testing my commitment." I looked up at the balcony, locking eyes with Dewitt Knight. He was a god in a bespoke suit, looking down at me with cold, lethal disgust. He didn't see the bruises or the desperation. He only saw a transaction he found beneath him. "So the rumors are true," he said, his voice cutting through the music. "The Aguilars really will do anything for money now. Even this." I was trapped between a monster who wanted to break me and a man who thought I was trash. No one cared that my father's life depended on my silence. When Barnett cornered me in a guest room later that night, his belt jingling like a death knell, I realized no one was coming to save a girl like me. I fought back with a crystal vase, shattering it against his shoulder, but I was drowning in my own terror. Just as Barnett lunged for my throat, the door was kicked off its hinges. Dewitt stood there, finally seeing the blood on the carpet and the map of purple bruises on my bare back. He chased the monster away, but I didn't feel safe. I locked the guest room door, wedged a chair under the handle, and slept with a silver letter opener pressed against my skin. When I crept into the kitchen at midnight and found him waiting in the shadows, I aimed the blade at his heart. "In this house, no one hurts you," he promised, his voice a low velvet rumble. But in a world where I had already been sold once, I knew that even protection came with a price I couldn't afford to pay.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."
