He's a billionaire by day, a beast by blood-and she just became his obsession. When innocent waitress Aria stumbles into the wrong room at an elite gala, she doesn't expect to find herself face-to-face with Damian Wolfe-a brooding billionaire with a deadly secret. He's powerful, dangerous, and inhumanly irresistible. Bound by a dark curse and an empire built on blood, Damian needs a mate to control the beast within. And he's chosen her. But Aria won't go down without a fight. This isn't just seduction. It's survival.

The Billionaire's Beast Chapter 1 The storm battered the city like warning

Rain pounded the blackened windows of the nightclub, lightning slicing the sky in jagged streaks. Inside, neon lights flickered across polished marble floors, bass-heavy music vibrating through the walls. But she didn't see any of it.

She was running.

Soaked from the downpour, heart slamming against her ribs, she burst through the back entrance like a ghost chased by fire. Her stilettos skidded on the wet tiles as she ducked into the empty hallway.

Breathing hard, she glanced over her shoulder.

No one.

Yet.

Her name was Raina Blake-twenty-four, orphaned, forged in survival. But even she wasn't ready for this. Blood stained her dress. Not hers. His. The man who had dragged her into the shadows and whispered things she never should've heard.

Now they wanted her dead.

She turned a corner-and slammed straight into something hard.

No-someone.

Her hands hit a wall of muscle beneath a drenched silk shirt. Arms snapped around her in reflex, strong, unrelenting. She looked up-and froze.

His eyes were pitch black.

Not dark. Not brown. Black.

And they glowed faintly in the dark.

"Easy," the man said, voice low and dangerous, like it had been soaked in smoke and secrets.

Raina shoved at him. "Let go of me-!"

He didn't.

"Who's chasing you?" he asked, as if he had the right to know.

She blinked up at him. His face was too perfect. Sculpted jaw. Hair wet and wild. A scar across his lower lip that somehow made him more terrifying.

Something in her gut twisted.

"I don't know who you are," she breathed, "but if you don't want to die tonight, let me go."

"I don't run," he said coldly. "I hunt."

He turned his head slightly, nostrils flaring, like he was-smelling her.

Then the gunshots came.

Three sharp pops in the hallway behind her.

"Shit," Raina gasped.

The man yanked her into a hidden alcove, slammed a panel shut, and plunged them into darkness.

"We don't have much time," she whispered, heart racing.

"You don't," he replied. "But you're with me now."

She spun on him. "You don't even know me."

He leaned close. "But I smelled the truth on you."

She shivered.

There was something... wrong about him. Or maybe too right in all the wrong ways.

"I don't want your help," she said, trying to push past.

His hand shot out, grabbed her wrist.

"You're bleeding," he said, gaze dropping to her side.

She followed his eyes and realized-she was.

The wound from the scuffle with the goon earlier had opened.

Suddenly, her legs buckled.

He caught her easily, lifting her into his arms like she weighed nothing.

"I didn't ask for a knight," she muttered.

"Good," he said. "I'm not one."

When she woke, it was to the sound of silence.

The bed beneath her was impossibly soft. She sat up slowly, glancing around.

Gothic windows. A fireplace. Old stone walls that didn't belong in a city penthouse.

Where the hell was she?

And then the door opened.

He walked in. Same black eyes. Same impossible confidence. But now he was dressed in tailored black slacks and a shirt unbuttoned just enough to make her forget how to breathe.

"Where am I?" she asked hoarsely.

"My home."

She scoffed. "What kind of billionaire lives in a medieval castle replica?"

He arched a brow. "The kind that's not fully human."

Silence stretched.

Raina stared at him. "What?"

He stepped closer, voice soft. "You heard something that night. Something you weren't supposed to. Now the entire Bratva is looking for you."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I lead them."

Her blood turned to ice.

"You're lying."

He didn't blink. "I'm the beast they fear. The one they send in when all else fails."

"You're their leader?"

"No," he said, with a dark smile. "I'm the one they can't control."

She backed up, but he didn't follow. "Why save me then?"

"Because the man you saw die that night was meant to kill me."

Raina felt the room spin.

He watched her carefully. "You and I... we were never supposed to meet. But fate? She's a cruel little thing."

She crossed her arms. "You expect me to trust you?"

"No," he said. "I expect you to survive."

A long pause.

"What's your name?" she asked finally.

He looked at her like the question mattered more than it should.

"Killian Volk."

She swallowed.

"You're going to help me?" she asked.

He took a step forward.

"No," he said. "I'm going to use you."

Her breath caught.

"But if you're smart," he added, "you'll use me right back."

And that's when she knew: she hadn't escaped the fire.

She'd walked straight into the inferno.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The Cold CEO's Unwanted Genius Wife

The Cold CEO's Unwanted Genius Wife

Meng Xinyu

I stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancĆ© Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancƩe. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
