    Summary

    “You are not just saying anything. You are actively trying to ruin my ability to do my job.”

    “No. I’m trying to restore your faith in women.”

    “My faith in women is fine. It’s my faith in dating that’s dead.”

    Zoey tilted her head. “And your faith in sex?”

    Mira dug her spoon into the ice cream with unnecessary force. “On life support.”

    Or

    Mira needs to get laid. Badly.

    Summary

    In an empire where wolf’s blood dictates everything, alphas rule with strength, betas serve, and omegas survive under their power. Bloodline is law and breaking it could cost your life.

    Maomao has been kidnapped and sold to the palace, where everyone believes she is just a common beta. But she hides an impossible secret: she is half wolf, half kitsune. Her lineage allows her to conceal her ears and tail, though her emotions sometimes betray her, revealing what she has worked so hard to keep hidden.

    Jinshi, a pure-blooded alpha and the empire’s future leader, recognizes her instantly as the owner of his red thread. From that moment, he cannot help but fall for her. But Maomao, with her instincts numbed by years of hunger and misery, feels only a strange tingling in her heart an attraction she mistakes for simple admiration of his beauty.

    Amid secrets, poisons, laughter, and dangers lurking around every corner, two destined souls meet in a game of power and desire. Will the red thread unite them, even when their worlds seem irreconcilable?

    Summary

    Years prior, the Emperor of Li and the Grand Commandant came to an arrangement. By promising the La Princess to the Moon Prince, they hoped that they could protect their children and secure their futures.

    Maomao is against this from the start, understanding that if she became the Moon Prince’s consort, a man whose real name and face is a mystery to her, then her life would go from mixing herbs to dodging assassination attempts. Meanwhile, Jinshi does his best to avoid her… even going as far as to hide his true identity as her betrothed; believing that she will be no different from countless others who sought only to use him. But after she arrives at the rear palace, he becomes fascinated with the indifferent, freckled girl, who may be the only one able to see past the masks he wears.

    AU where Jinshi is forced to take Maomao as his consort—and future bride—against their will. To survive, the two begin to low-key rebel against a court of vipers in silk robes that’s trying to crown them and crush them in equal measure. Because here, royalty feels more like a prison.

    Summary

    Rumi once heard that if the alpha was the beginning, the beta the middle, then the omega was the end.

    She doesn't remember where, maybe some half-remembered scripture or idiom Celine had quoted, maybe somewhere in a book she had read. It was the kind of ancient wisdom that sounded profound the first time but never really stuck, not until you lived it.

    Alpha, the first note.

    Beta, the bridge.

    Omega, the silence, the final note.

    It wasn't until she met them that the words stopped being abstract, that the saying suddenly had faces, had meaning beyond theory.

    OR

    Secrets kept for protection become the thing that destroys. When Rumi's truth comes out during the mission to seal the Honmoon, the three of them are left standing in the wreckage with every wall down and every lie exposed. Now they have to figure out how to be a pack when isolation, control, and self-erasure are the only blueprints they have.
