ANCHOR OF HEARTS

Selina is born as the illegitimate daughter of the prestigious Everett family and cast out into a harsh world, left to survive alone. Living in disguise to blend in and escape the shadow of her stained reputation, she tries to lead an ordinary life. Somewhere along the way, she falls in love at first sight with a young man. But her feelings remain a secret—tucked away quietly—until he leaves overseas, and she’s left yearning for his return. And so, she waits. Three years later, her secret crush returns and Selina believes this is her chance to finally share her feelings. At his welcome-back banquet, a twist of fate leads them into a one-night stand. But Zane doesn’t return as the man she once admired—he comes back cold, distant, and utterly ruthless. This time, he carries revenge in his heart—against her father, the Everett family, and Selina herself. As the storm of his vengeance erupts, Selina finds her world collapsing, left isolated and shattered while trying to protect her father. And then fate deals its cruelest hand. Selina discovers she’s pregnant with Zane’s child. She doesn’t want the baby—but Zane insists it must be born. Seeing a way to end his all-consuming revenge, Selina proposes a deal: she’ll carry the child, and in return, he will let go of his dark intentions. With her feelings buried deep, Selina begins a journey through pregnancy, healing, and reclaiming her identity—navigating secrets, betrayals and the tangled legacy of her family. But as she learns to reclaim herself, she also begins to uncover something unexpected: The man who once seemed dangerous and cold-hearted reveals a side of himself no one else has ever seen. Is this just about the baby—or is something deeper taking root between them? Will their deal end as they intended? Or will fate play its teasing game once again? --- Note: This is a slow-burn romance, not a dark romance. There’s no abuse, rape, or cheating between the main couple. Selina’s suffering from his revenge outcome only lasts for a few chapters before she steps fully into her own powerful journey. I hope you enjoy and support Selina's journey ಠ⁠ᴥ⁠ಠ

Grace of a Wolf

Grace Harper has always been an outsider—raised in a wolf pack that never truly accepted her, adopted by an alpha with too many secrets. When her ex-boyfriend leaves her for his mate and the truth of her adoption comes to light, Grace knows she has to leave… or die trying. But her path to freedom slams into the Lycan King. Cold, powerful, and burdened by the ghosts of a past he refuses to share, Caine doesn’t want Grace in his world. He doesn’t believe she belongs in any world but her own. And yet, with fate tethering their souls, his control begins to crack. Grace never asked for his protection. She never asked to want him, either. But something ancient is waking, and the deeper she dives into the truth of her past, the more she realizes: maybe she was never meant to be free. Maybe she was meant to change everything. Starting with him. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* is the slightly unhinged romance between a human girl with inconvenient human morals and her mildly sociopathic fated mate—who also happens to be the Lycan King and has the emotional intelligence of a rock. Thankfully, their dangerously magnetic bond is (barely) balanced by found family chaos, a buttload of magic, and a fated mate connection that might actually kill her if they touch. Oops. Just when you think you’re reading *yet another werewolf story*, the plot and worldbuilding sneak up behind you with claws, teeth, and actual stakes. It’s slow-burn, emotionally messy, and laced with the kind of tension that could kill—or kiss—you. --- **WARNINGS:** R18: Smutty smut smut. Also, dark themes, including but not limited to: Murder, attempted murder, a stack of dead bodies, betrayal, mild sociopathy, an ML who appears to bathe in red flags despite his favorite color being green, an unwarranted hatred of blueberry muffins, and pillow thievery. A **slow burn**, spicy wolf shifter urban fantasy romance with a lot of random plot trying to knot-block everything. When the spice hits, please read responsibly. Thank you~ [WSA 2025 Contest Entry]

Loveless Years; Until We Meet Again

Madelyn believed she would find a blissful home far away from her fears once she conceived Rafael's child and secured his commitment and affection by raising their child together. However, her world was shattered when Rafael brought her step-sister, who was pregnant with his child. His devastating confession left her reeling: he never wanted a child with her; everything he had shown her was just a game, and he never intended to let her go. Fortunate to escape death, Madelyn returned under the guise of her twin sister's identity to escape her obsessed husband but retained her name, 'Madelyn Fox'. Now, she’s back with a burning vendetta—to reclaim what is rightfully hers and crush those who dared to harm her, making them pay for every ounce of misery they inflicted on her in the past. Love? A weakness she has no time for. Forgiveness? Never once crossed her mind. All Madelyn wants is to see them crawl, begging for mercy she’ll never grant as she watches them suffer. ....... Author’s Note for Longtime Readers: Just a quick note—this story still follows the same plot, with Madelyn being cold and ruthless in her pursuit of revenge. The characters’ names have been changed for personal reasons, but the core of the story hasn’t changed. Also, I’m sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been going through some health issues and needed time to recover. Please do not read the premium chapters yet until the updated storylines are complete up to Chapter 70. I'll keep updating till the completion of the story, but please note that updates may not be daily, as I’m also working on a new project. Thanks so much for your patience and support—it means a lot!
