No matter if it's a family outing that turns to chaos, a night out at the strip club, some fiction written without consent, moths of online stalking, or some boiling hot coffee... when they fall, they fall hard. Not all stories of the next generation of royals start on a good note, but many with a bang. Palace doesn't have to be a boring place, right? This book is a collection of novels following the young royals next in line for the throne of a fictional shifter kingdom set in modern-day USA. As the next generation in a big family of shifters, all the respective protagonists start in a similar place when they are 'summoned' by their parents to go to a function together. For the first time in years. When the family outing gets derailed by a vision, a human trafficking ring being flushed out, and a bounty hunter losing the money he counted on for the evening, our stories start with three of the siblings finding their fated mates. The only question remaining is who will be lucky enough to get over the somewhat rocky start to their relationship the quickest. Whoever isn't at the center of the plot will often be followed as a side character, given time to grow a little in their own right. ?Playlist? https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ahhGzB0FE2780p8vcTAcp?si=c0b6243934924550 :::::::::::::::::::::: CONTENT WARNING ⛔️: ALL THE STORIES CONTAIN DARK THEMES, E.G., DRUG USE, SELF-HARM, S**UAL ASSAULT, HARASSMENT, AND/ OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

Weeks before my engagement party, the cake tasting for the wedding turns into a total mess. And I definitely blame the girl behind the counter... I should have turned around the second Maude asked me to go to the cake tasting with her. That afternoon is the only reason why I'm now sitting in the bushes of a strange backyard, watching a girl through a window like a creep. I know she's in danger, and I hate my f*cking noisy self for not being able to just leave it alone. Especially since my wolf is convinced she's my mate. Well, I know for a fact he's wrong about that. Yesterday was not the first time we met. Mate... yeah, right. More like the 'bane of my existence.' ?

THERE COMES A MOMENT IN EVERY WOMAN'S LIFE WHEN HER SEARCH HISTORY COULD GET HER INTO TROUBLE. OR AT LEAST CAUSE EMBARRASSMENT SO SIGNIFICANT THAT A HOLE IN THE GROUND LEADING STRAIGHT TO HELL WOULD NOT BE DEEP ENOUGH... __________ For the last five years, I have prided myself on being the ONE girl who didn't immediately fall for Max Cummings and his charms. Definitely not into the 'self-made' Alpha with the brightest smile ever. I've seen the dude whine over vegetables like a 4-year-old. No one would be attracted to that. Right? Well, anyhow, as of late, I've got a man-sized problem in my life. And for once, it's not my obnoxious boss or one of his rather annoying teenage brothers. Nothing beats family. Although right about now, what my father is pestering me about could play out as a solution to my tiny problem. Or what do you call a massive crush, you know, is the epitome of unrequited? I sure don't need five more years of pining, sweaty clothes, and trying to get three (almost) grown men to eat Brokkoli. Time to move on, right? WRONG! _________ ⛔️CONTENT WARNING⛔️ THIS STORY CONTAINS FOUL LANGUAGE, AS WELL AS VIOLENCE AND S*XUAL CONTENT. TROPES: FRIENDS TO LOVERS & WORKPLACE ROMANCE NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA?

Three months. Its just three months. Widen your skill set, learn. Get your toes wet again. But also be the bigger person and don\'t give in to the urge to strangle the obnoxious idiot you work with. Harder than you think.... My mate dead, I struggled to keep up the persona everyone around me knows and loves—cheerful, positive Elodie. So I stayed away for a few years. Back with my family, I do my best to return to my old self. Yeah, don\'t feel like I got quite the handle on this yet. But old Elodie would never have said \'no\' to an opportunity to help out someone. So how could I now? Observing the Blood Forest Guard is actually something I look forward to... The drills, the 'serving your community 'All of it sounds great to me. Spending time with the guy that resembles a golden retriever and that I had a crush on when I was a teen is a bonus. Yup, this could be all really good if it wasn\'t for him... Ugh. How can two people that work so closely together be polar opposites of each other? Ezi-- No, Beta Sharp. Arrogant, mean, and his hatred for me entirely without reason. So please don't ask me why his stern face and those cold eyes are invading even my dreams... Or why I'm in a utility closet with him knuckle-deep inside me. Don't really think I want to unpack that right now. ?PLAYLIST ? https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2PFJJkaWcsy57lffXrAvmy?si=GznU5OcQQL-4UY0eDodHfQ ______________ ⛔️ CONTENT WARNING THIS BOOK CONTAINS FOUL LANGUAGE, SMUT, TALKS ABOUT DEATH AND DRUG ABUSE.

This was supposed to be an easy solution to both their problems. Can't be that hard to fake a relationship, right? But how do you react when things don't play out the way you planned?... I have been a burden to my pack and parents for years. Even being the Alpha's daughter hasn't saved me from that. But now I messed up big time... for the whole supernatural world to see. The wolf-less girl has done it again. Worst part: it's only weeks before my brother's Alpha ceremony. So when the Dragon born next in line for the throne presents the perfect opportunity to fix it, I jump on that. Nael is the last man I could ever be attracted to. Too tall, too much muscle. Too flirty and cheery. It's just for a few weeks, though. He needs someone to pretend and be his mate, I need a way out of the situation at the pack house. The more time we spend together, the more the guy gets under my skin. And that irks me. But it also makes my stupid heart beat faster. So what am I supposed to do when his behavior toward me suddenly changes? Because accepting Nael's attention is way too easy... even though nothing will come of it. Not with his actual mate right around the corner. ?

Five seconds... that's how long it takes to change one's life forever. One look. One stupid comment. How many 'five seconds' have you had in your life? Not sure I know the exact number of mine... The moment my friend's back slams against the diner's door, I know that this is truly a terrible day. Here goes flying under the entitled Alpha A**heads radar. F**k. Me. Not only does Elliot Hartgrave insist on tracking me down after I give him a fake name, but also has the audacity to drag me back to his place. Oh, and did I mention the tire iron? No? Well... But my moronic 'neighbor' is not the only one that found me here. What I have been hiding from more or less successfully for the past few years comes knocking at my door. Or more like it breaks into my apartment and threatens me with sick memories of what was taken from me. The fact that my wolf has been a no-show for a while now isn't exactly helping. Especially when she is advocating for the one man I'm damn sure won't actually help me. Right?... Count on me to always have an explanation for how drawn I am to Mr. 'Why can't I scent you?' or for how much I like... just being with his pack. Not him, of course. Never him. Accepting that my past hasn't been as simple as I thought it was, that there are things I had no idea of, is harder than I imagined. I know I know... we women can do it all. Not this, though. So please don't come for me when I actually take what is offered. Even if the one reaching out a hand is the grouchy, ho...horrendously full of himself Alpha, that gives you nicknames, smells like home, and could literally impale people with those very grey eyes...Huh? Did you say something? Argh fine. Judge away. ----------------------------- ⛔️ CONTENT WARNING THIS BOOK CONTAINS FOUL LANGUAGE, SMUT AND TALKS ABOUT DEATH AND SELF-HARMING (SMALL CHILDREN INCLUDED). PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND BEFORE STARTING TO READ. I WILL TRY AND GIVE A CONTENT WARNING BEFORE THE CHAPTERS IN QUESTION. ✍? PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: This is the first book/story I have ever finished and published. The writing is not as good as I want it to be, and stuffing some of the plot holes as well as fixing the middle that kind of drags on, has been burning under my nails for a while. But I made the mistake of signing the story and putting it on pay-to-read in a rush when a lot of people read it right when it first came out and liked it. I was excited about something that I loved working on and shared with others. Some time has passed now, though. And I see the flaws with the story, and if you are not into an immaturely written plot and sometimes unreasonably hard-headed and tiresome MCs, I'd say you should save your money on this one. Because sadly, Dreame doesn't refund the money if you end up hating a story. ??
