Warrington is a beautiful small town in the big City of Crimson. The environment smelled like the neighbors flowers growing in their small gardens and their delicious traditional food. The neighborhood sounded of birds chirping and the laughter of children playing.
Everyone lived a simple and honest life. Even though they weren't all rich, they loved their life knowing all is well and didn't live in fear, except one family... The Santiago's.
Martina Santiago, a 18 year old, 5'7 tall, brown long and curly hair, blue ocean eyes and lighted skinned beautiful girl, stood outside of her house, leaning on a red small gate, smiling and admiring the beauty of a neighborhood as she watched a little boy playing with his friends. All though she had all beautiful traits but she was naive, as her parents never gave her the freedom to do what her age-mates did, the only thing she was allowed to do was go to school and her dad would also drop her off and pick her.
They claimed it was to protect her from evil "Druglords", saying they were dangerous and all they do was go after young girls like Martina, make they go astray and wayward, destroying their lives. Well...they didn't lie, although the city of Crimsom may seem beautiful, but beneath it lies corruption.
All Martina could feel while leaning on the red gate was Anger. "I wish I could rip out this red barrier of the ground, all it's caused is pain in my life!"
"I'll just take a quick stroll, for five minutes at least." Martina thought.
"Oh... But if mum and dad find out or even catch me, they'll definitely kill me" She thought again hesitantly.
As she tried opening the gate, came Alfred Santiago, her dad.
"Darling, what do you think you're doing, you know your mom would freak out if she caught you trying to sneak out without our permission, besides you know you aren't allowed to cross the gate unless you're either with me or your mom." He told Martina softly. He wasn't angry tho, he treated Martina like a princess, he hardly scolded her, and spoke calmly to her, unlike her mom.
"But dad I'm sick and tired of the way you and mom treat me in this house, I've been locked up my whole life, I only get to see the outside world from my the balcony at my room and this small little red gate. I'm tired of the sick lies you and mom tell me everyday, "Trying to protect me, really?" Just tell me the truth already, what are you guys really hiding? You promised me my freedom when I turned eighteen, but that was another lie, wasn't it?" Martina's face reddened as she burst in tears , her anger and frustration boiling over.
"Honey, please calm down, all your mom and I are doing are just trying to protect you dear, why can't you see that?" He said trying to talk to her and getting close..
She shifted back. "Oh please dad! I don't want to hear any more of this nonsense. Come dad have a look, see that little boy out there playing with his friends? Has any danger come to him, does his parents have him locked up?"
Alfred shook his head, feeling bad. His guilt evident.
"So why are you guys treating me like this? I'm a freaking adult for God's sake, let me live my life please!."
As her mom, Hilda Santiago, was coming to see what the fuss was all about, Martina stormed out, using her shoulder to hit her mom's shoulder.
Hilda, had quite the opposite of Alfred's character towards Martina, although she's quite as naive as Martina, and loved Martina so much, but she's pretty strict with the rules, she suggested the idea of the red gate, made sure Martina didn't go anywhere with herself of her dad.
"Oh my God babe, did you see what she just did? By the way, what happened here, why was our girl crying and angry? Hilda asked Alfred all confused.
"Oh honey, don't you think we're taking all this too far with Martina? The whole strict rules and locking her up, she's already an adult and I think it's only fair we allow her live her life. Look how we're hurting her, we are her parents who's supposed to be giving her peace of mind, but look at us, we're just ruining her life. You know I only agree to these rules because I love you so much and what we've been through." Alfred rubbing his wife hair gently as he spoke.
"But darling,"
She becomes emotional, almost in tears.
"You know we're doing this because of "Her", we never know when she might return, and who knows what she might do to this family after all we did to hurt her in the past?" Hilda, her voice cracking in tears whispered to her husband.
"I don't want to endanger my little girl, I know I'm too strict with my rules, I would never do anything to intentionally hurt my little princess, but all we do is for her own good."
"Baby, that was years ago, maybe she's even let go and we're the ones overreacting out of guilty conscience?" Alfred's voice trembled as he spoke, trying to calm his wife.
"We both knew what she was like, she's not the kind person to just forget, I know she'll come for us one day. I have a really bad feeling." Hilda held her head in frustration.
"Honey please relax, let's not just into conclusion, okay?" Alfred spoke in a soothing tone trying to reassure Hilda.
Martina stood just behind the walls, over hearing their conversation, in shock. "Who are they referring to? And why are my parents so scared of her? Is she really the reason I've been locked up my whole life and why my family are living in fear? I must get to the bottom of this no matter what it takes!"
With a newfound determination, Martina wiped away her tears, and headed straight to her room.
One night. That's all it was supposed to be. FBI Special Agent Cassandra Blake never let herself slip. Until the night she met him. Mysterious, devastatingly charming, and sinfully irresistible, Adrian Moretti was a stranger with secrets and a body built for sin. But when she shows up at a crime scene the next morning and finds him surrounded by blood and secrets, she learns the truth. Her one-night stand is the heir to the Moretti crime family. Now her mission is clear: infiltrate, expose, and take him down. But Adrian isn't just dangerous, he's magnetic. And as their worlds collide in a twisted game of lies and seduction, Cassandra must make an impossible choice: bring justice to a world of crime... or surrender to the man who could destroy her.
Blood speaks louder beneath a full moon. In the ancient realm of Lunaris, where the stars are hunted as omens and the moon governs all life, werewolves do not lurk in shadows. They rule. The highland Silverfangs trace their bloodline back to the Moonborn, said to be the first creatures kissed by lunar magic. Noble, disciplined, and cold as the stone halls they inhabit, their legacy is law. The Nightmane packs-feral, untamed, exiled centuries ago-roam the deep woods beyond the borderlands, legends in the minds of children and terrors in the songs of elders. Kaela Raventhorn, heir to the Silverfangs, was born under a Crimson Moon, a rare celestial event whispered to mark destiny or doom. At seventeen, she claimed her first shift-seamlessly, painlessly-earning the envy and fear of her packmates. Now, at twenty-one, she wears her crown of responsibility with quiet defiance. She does what's expected: leads hunts, settles disputes, and prepares for her betrothal to Darian Vale, the future Warden of the North. But there is a restlessness inside her-a howl that no duty can quiet. When Kaela crosses into the forbidden wilds one night chasing a phantom scent, she stumbles upon a half-dead werewolf-his fur midnight-black, his eyes ember-red. A Nightmane. An enemy. She should have left him. But something about him draws her in. Something in the shape of his pain. His name is Riven, and he carries stories Kaela was never meant to hear: stories of betrayal, of secrets buried beneath Silverfang altars, of a pact broken in blood. And of her father's death... not as noble sacrifice, but as execution. --- "We were born of the same moon," Riven says. "But you've lived under lies." --- As Kaela nurses him back to life in a hidden cavern beneath the Blackroot Mountains, their bond deepens. It begins in stolen glances and quiet conversations. In questions no Silverfang would dare ask. In the way his voice settles the chaos in her chest. But love, in Lunaris, is never without consequence. Darian notices the shift in her-how her laughter dims in his presence, how she no longer flinches when he speaks of war. He begins to suspect. And Darian, beloved and golden, has never handled rejection well. What Kaela doesn't know is that Darian has been hiding truths of his own. That he knew her father's fate. That he struck the first blow. Betrayal comes swiftly. It arrives in a whisper: her mother's journal, found hidden beneath the hearthstone, speaks of a bloodmark that ties Kaela to the Nightmanes through her grandmother's forbidden love. A love that cost a war. A love that has been scrubbed from Silverfang history. It arrives in a letter: her arranged bond to Darian was sealed in desperation, not alliance. A pact forged to cover up a crime. It arrives in the moonlight: Riven, surrounded by Silverfang warriors, bleeding in chains, thrown at her feet like prey. And Kaela must choose. --- "Will you fight for the truth," her mother once asked her, "even if it ruins everything you love?" --- What began as duty will end in fire. Torn between the mate chosen for her and the mate fate has gifted her, Kaela must unravel the lies that bind her. To claim her future, she'll have to burn her past-and embrace the part of her blood that howls in the wild. But vengeance has a cost. And the moon never forgets. Marked by the Moon is a tale of forbidden love, shattered legacies, and the war between who we're told to be and who we truly are. In a world where love can be a weapon and betrayal runs in the blood, Kaela must decide: What will she protect-her pack, her heart, or her revenge?

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
