Reborn as the Psycho Villainess Who Ate Her Slave Beasts’ Contracts

At twenty‑nine, she was the youngest CEO in the tech industry—NetVault Security had gone from small startup to Fortune 500 in just six years. The media called her a prodigy. Her board called her unstoppable. Her therapist called her alexithymic. Unable to understand or describe her own emotions. The elevator chimed. Elara didn’t look up. Only one person had after‑hours access. “You’re late,” she said. “The investor meeting is in twelve hours. Did you review the—” “I’m not here about the meeting.” … “Ugh.” Elara lost her life that day at the hands of her mentor and adoptive father. By the next morning, the same people who once called her a genius and praised her to the sky were calling her a coward who killed herself to escape scandal. Then Elara woke up. Not in her office. Not in a hospital. In a different world. In a different body. She was now Elara, the Fourth Princess of this so‑called great kingdom—only to find that this princess was an utter pushover, completely useless in everyone’s eyes. No one feared her. No one respected her. Even her own palace was full of other people’s spies. How is Elara supposed to survive this palace battle, when seven princesses fight in the shadows and she’s known as the weakest one? And can she ever escape this place… or will she decide to win instead? … … “Your Highness, please… ugh…” The leash of light around Mahir’s neck—the head of the knights—tightened with a soft pull. His face flushed red, and not from pain. “Princess, here.” Ken, the strongest beast knight, knelt closer and held out a small pill between his fingers, guiding it gently to Elara’s lips. “Swallow it,” he said quietly. “You used too much power today.” On the floor below the bed, three beastmen knelt in a row, broad shoulders tense, ears twitching, their eyes fixed on her with dazed focus. Thin, glowing leashes of magic ran from their collars to the bands at Elara’s wrists. “Please…” Ken’s voice dropped, rough and a little hoarse. “Put your foot here.” He touched his gloved hand to his chest. “On me.” Elara sighed, half annoyed, half amused, and rested her foot lightly on his armored chest. All three of them drew in a sharp breath at the same time, faces turning even redder as the magic between them flared. Their eyes—gold, amber, and deep brown—looked up at her with the same lost, devoted gaze.

System Player: Luna

System Player: Luna When Luna opens her eyes, the world she knew is gone. In its place stands a ruined city governed by an invisible system—one that assigns levels, grants skills, and turns survival into a game with no exit. Monsters roam freely. Players fight for power. Death is permanent. Luna is not special because she is strong. She is special because she connects. From the moment the system awakens her, something about Luna unsettles its rigid rules. Her abilities don’t focus on destruction or domination, but on bonds—threads that tie souls together, allowing trust, strength, and emotion to become power. Where others rise alone, Luna grows alongside those who choose to stand with her. As she gathers a small unit of survivors, Luna becomes the quiet center holding them together. Kai, a disciplined warrior haunted by control. Twin siblings Mira and Arin, sharp-tongued and fiercely loyal. A broken family hiding secrets the system wants erased. And Liora—a silent girl hunted by the system itself. Together, they build more than a team. They build a home. But the system is watching. As Luna’s power evolves, it begins to reveal an unsettling truth: she was never meant to exist this way. Classified as a Legacy Anchor, Luna represents something the system cannot fully calculate—choice, empathy, and growth beyond control. Every bond she forms destabilizes the rules that govern this world, drawing attention from powerful enemies and elite hunters who seek to claim or destroy her. Caught between survival and rebellion, Luna must decide what kind of player she will become. Because in a world designed to turn people into weapons, choosing to care might be the most dangerous act of all. System Player: Luna is a post-apocalyptic progression fantasy filled with emotional depth, slow-burn romance, found family, and a living system that fears the one player it cannot command. And this time… The system may have chosen wrong.

Beneath His Skin

Just a heads up: this story is set in an ancient world, but the characters might occasionally sound a bit more modern. I wanted to keep it lively and relatable, so don’t be surprised if you catch some phrases or expressions that feel like they belong in today’s world! ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** Caution: This book contains mature content and is intended for adult readers only. She was too weak to stand beside him. And his heart already belonged to another. Azura Moryn knows the rules of the Crescent Moon Pack:power is everything, and without it, you are nothing. Rankless and orphaned, she has survived on the edges by being invisible. But invisibility is not weakness, it’s a choice. Behind her quiet exterior is a resilient spirit, a surprising bravery, and a clumsy, lovable heart that refuses to be crushed, even when the odds are impossible. Rhydor Drakemire has everything. Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, feared and respected. Groomed for greatness. And deeply in love with the woman he plans to make his Luna. So when fate makes Azura his mate, the choice is simple. He rejects her. A weakling has no place beside an Alpha. And he refuses to give up the woman he loves. The bond should have shattered. Instead, something ancient awakens. Forbidden magic stirs beneath the pack lands. Golden light erupts. Pain tears through them both. And when they wake, the world is wrong. Azura opens her eyes inside the Alpha’s body, strong, powerful, untouchable. Rhydor wakes in hers, powerless, scorned, and unseen. Now their souls switch without warning, trapping them in each other’s skin while enemies circle closer and the pack begins to fracture. Every secret they uncover changes what they thought they knew, about strength, about weakness, about each other. And beyond the pack borders, a brutal Alpha King rises, draining Lunas and hunting power in his obsession with immortality. Old prophecies resurface. Whispers spread of a truth long buried: Only a female Alpha can bring him down. As forbidden magic stirs and betrayal creeps closer than loyalty, an ancient legacy refuses to stay buried any longer. Azura is about to learn the truth of her own blood. And the mate Rhydor rejected may be the one fate chose to change everything. Some bonds are broken by pride. Some curses are written in blood. And some destinies can only be uncovered… ***** Author's little message Dear gentle readers... who am I kidding? I'm just a regular person who loves writing and wanted to share this story with you. Hi everyone! This is only my second book. I'm still learning, but I love these characters with my whole heart. I fell in love with Azura the moment I started writing her. She's stubborn, brave, and never gives up. And Rhydor? He'll frustrate you, make you want to shake him, and then surprise you when you least expect it. I hope you'll love them as much as I do. This story is set in an ancient world, just wolves, magic, mysterious creatures, old secrets and of course my imaginations I promise you this: I will give this story my very best.

Crown of the Forsaken Luna: When the Wolfless Outcast Becomes Queen

"You're wolfless. Worthless. And you'll never be Luna of this pack." Isla Thorne believed Damien Silvercrest loved her despite her lack of a wolf. For three years, she served his pack, endured his family's contempt, and clung to the hope that their mate bond would be enough. She was wrong. On the night Damien was supposed to announce her as his Luna, he rejected her in front of the entire pack—for her stepsister Vivienne, who carries his child and has the perfect bloodline Isla could never provide. But rejection wasn't enough. When a sacred relic goes missing, Isla is framed for the theft, beaten, and exiled into the Rogue Lands with nothing but the clothes on her back and a secret growing in her belly. Left to die in territory where rogues hunt anything that moves, Isla makes a desperate choice: she accepts the hand of a mysterious stranger who appears from the shadows wearing an obsidian mask. "Become my Luna Queen," he offers in a voice like smoke and thunder. "I'll give you power, protection, and everything you need to destroy those who wronged you." She doesn't know he's Cassian Nightshade, the Lycan King whose name makes Alphas tremble. She doesn't know he's been searching for her for years. And she doesn't know that she isn't wolfless at all—her wolf was bound by a curse to hide the ancient bloodline that makes her the last heir to the Moonborn, a royal line everyone believed extinct. As Cassian teaches Isla to unlock her true power, their arranged partnership ignites into something neither expected. He's ruthless, scarred, and broken by a past he won't reveal. She's fierce, damaged, and determined to never trust a mate bond again. But the pup growing inside her carries magic that could change everything—and enemies from both their pasts are coming to destroy them. When Damien realizes what he's lost and Vivienne's lies begin to unravel, they'll discover that the wolfless outcast they discarded is now the most powerful Luna in existence. And she's coming home—not to beg for acceptance, but to take what's rightfully hers. Some wolves are born to rule. Others are forged in betrayal and crowned in vengeance.

Return of the Luna

Lyra has spent her life surviving on the edges of a world that was never built for her. With no family name and no protection, she takes a job as a maid in the most powerful wolf estate in the city, a place of polished marble floors, strict rules, and quiet cruelty. Behind its white walls lives an Alpha whose authority is absolute, whose presence commands obedience, and whose name no one speaks lightly. Lyra’s only goal is survival. Until the day she feels it. The bond. Instant. Unmistakable. Dangerous. He feels it too. But an Alpha does not claim a maid. Instead of announcing her as his mate, he keeps her hidden summoned in silence, desired in shadows, touched behind closed doors where no one will see. To the world, she remains invisible. To him, she becomes a secret he refuses to acknowledge in daylight. Lyra is not weak. She is not naïve. And she is not in love with the illusion of power. As weeks pass, the estate reveals its true nature humiliation disguised as discipline, control masked as order, desire twisted into possession. The Alpha’s need for her grows stronger, but so does his fear of what claiming her would cost him. And when the time comes, he chooses his title over his mate. He rejects her. Publicly. Broken but not destroyed, Lyra leaves the estate with nothing but her pride and the bond that refuses to disappear. Cast out and alone on unfamiliar streets, she is forced to survive once again until another pack finds her. But Lyra is no longer just a maid. She has seen power up close. She has learned how it operates. And she has discovered something even the Alpha does not yet understand: A rejected mate does not mean a weak one. And when she rises again, she will not be the girl who once knelt on marble floors. She will be something far more dangerous.
