The Manager’s Promise

The Manager’s Promise Logline: A young BBA student must navigate a web of office politics, double lives, and a "two-way love" to turn a manager’s reckless promise into a lifelong commitment. The Setup Alfha, a 19-year-old BBA student in India, begins an internship under Adi, a sharp and successful Branch Manager. What begins as a professional mentorship quickly escalates into a whirlwind romance. However, the dream shatters when Adi confesses that his initial proposal was a "mistake"—a suggestion from his roommates to help him recover from the depression of a past breakup. The Conflict Determined to keep her dignity, Alfha builds a "Professional Wall," treating Adi with cold, office-standard formality. Yet, the heart is not so easily managed. As Adi realizes the depth of his feelings for Alfha, he pulls her back in, claiming a "Two-Way Love"—he loves Alfha, but feels he "needs" his ex-girlfriend. Alfha becomes a public secret, living in the shadows of Adi’s double life. The Turning Point The arrival of Rony, a fellow Branch Manager and Adi’s best friend, changes everything. Rony becomes Alfha’s silent ally, revealing Adi’s secrets through muted conference calls. For the first time, Alfha hears the unfiltered truth: Adi is painting her as a "mentorship project" to his ex while calling her his "soul" in private. The Climax The "Two-Way Love" collapses when the ex-girlfriend betrays Adi again, announcing her marriage to someone else. Adi returns to Alfha in a state of total brokenness. Instead of offering immediate comfort, Alfha sets a New Boundary. She refuses to be the second choice or a secret anymore. She demands a public vow and total transparency. The Resolution Adi proves his devotion by confronting his roommates and publicly claiming Alfha as his partner. The story concludes with a real, heartfelt proposal in the same office where they met—no longer as manager and intern, but as equals. The "Manager’s Promise" is finally fulfilled, leading to their real-life marriage.

Three Alphas, Fated To One, Played By One, But Mated To One

Valerie Jude was once the beloved daughter of the pack’s greatest warrior, until her father was executed for a crime he swore he never committed. Branded as a traitor’s daughter, she was stripped of her status and forced into slavery within the very pack her father once protected. For eight years, Valerie lived in silence, enduring humiliation, beatings, and hunger in the shadows of the pack house. Stripped of dignity, forced to survive as a slave, she learned one rule: endure, or die. Even her wolf became a secret she could never reveal; because the truth behind her father’s death was more dangerous than she ever imagined. On the eve of the future alpha’s ascension, Valerie stumbles upon a conversation she was never meant to hear. A sick bet. A calculated betrayal. And a truth that shatters her remaining hope. The man she trusted is not her savior, but one of her tormentors. The alpha who ruined her life… is her fated mate. To him, the sacred mate bond is not a blessing, it is a punishment. A humiliation he plans to repay with cruelty, rejection, and destruction. To the others, Valerie is nothing more than a prize to be used and discarded. But fate was never done with her. As three alphas close in on her, each with their own twisted intentions or dark desires, Valerie stands at the edge of something far more dangerous than suffering. The awakening of the wolf she was forced to silence. When the truth behind her father’s execution begins to surface, and her wolf stirs once more, the pack will learn too late: The girl they broke was never weak. And the mate they planned to destroy… Was never meant to kneel.

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.

FORBIDDEN HEAT: THE ALPHA'S MATE

Scarlett Thorne has wanted Alpha Maverick Nightshade since she was sixteen—her best friend Juniper's devastatingly powerful father who treated her like a human child. Now eighteen and newly shifted, Scarlett arrives at the Nightshade pack territory for the Summer Solstice with one goal: make the broken Alpha recognize she's his fated mate. Maverick is the most feared Alpha on the East Coast, still bleeding from a vicious pack war where his ex-mate Celestia and his Beta betrayed him, stole half his territory, and poisoned his daughter against him. He's sworn off the mate bond, especially with barely-shifted she-wolves who smell like sin and innocence. But Scarlett isn't playing weak. She's playing for keeps. One full moon changes everything. The mate bond snaps into place—undeniable, explosive, forbidden. But when Juniper discovers her father claimed her best friend as his mate, she unleashes hell. She exposes the bond to Scarlett's pack, who banish her as a "homewrecker." Juniper's social media campaign destroys Scarlett's reputation across the supernatural world. Broken and rejected, Scarlett's first shift completes—revealing she's not a common wolf but a rare Silver bloodline, the lost heir to the Thorne pack that controls the largest werewolf empire in North America. Her "parents" were rogue wolves paid to hide her identity. They thought they broke a naive she-wolf. They awakened an Alpha Queen. Now Scarlett returns with Maverick at her side—not as his shameful secret, but as his claimed mate and equal Alpha. Revenge will be served under the full moon with claws extended.

LUNA OF THE MASKED KING

Seraphina "Sera" Voss, 22, believed in fate. In her mate. In the pack she bled for. Then she found him — her fated mate and devoted boyfriend of four years — tangled with her stepsister, a pregnancy test on the nightstand, and a smile that said he'd already chosen. Cast out on a fabricated charge of "blood treason," beaten, stripped of her wolf rank, and carrying a secret she hasn't yet named, Sera crawls through the Ashwood forest with nothing but the clothes on her back and a heartbeat that refuses to quit. Then a masked man steps out of the dark. No pack markings. No name. Just power radiating off him like heat from a forge — and eyes that look at her like she is not broken. Like she is a problem worth solving. He offers her warmth, protection, and a place at his side. The price? Become his Luna Queen. She doesn't know who he is. She doesn't know his face. She doesn't know that the kingdom he rules sits at the center of a war brewing across every pack in the northern territory — or that her bloodline is the missing key to ending it. But her pup kicks. Her wolf stirs. And something in her chest recognizes him in ways her mind hasn't caught up to yet. What Sera doesn't know could fill a grave. What she does know is this: she survived being someone's secret. She will not survive being someone's pawn. The masked king has thirty days to earn her trust before she walks. He's never failed a conquest in his life. He's never wanted one this badly either.
