Iron Veve's Kiss

***“Drakon—” “Say it again,” I growled, biting the lobe of her ear. Her real name for me, the one she’d whispered the night we'd spent together in New Orleans—not “Dragon,” but the Creole curse that meant storm-bringer. She gasped, her hips grinding against me. “Asshole—” I groaned, capturing her mouth once more. The kiss was a match to kerosene, igniting a fire that threatened to consume us both. Her hands fisted in my hair, lips parting with a gasp I swallowed whole, a taste of lemongrass and rebellion. She tasted like rage and every bad decision I’d ever craved—and Dios mío (My God), I was drowning in her. *** --- In the swamp-rotted heart of Alabama, Drucilla Drakes survives by two rules: stay silent, stay scarred, and never let Louise—her Bible-thumping, belt-wielding captor—catch her hoping for more. But when a schoolyard ambush leaves her bleeding under a stranger’s leather jacket, invisibility becomes a death sentence. Enter Dragon Morales, New Orleans’ most notorious runaway—a cartel prince turned outlaw mechanic with gasoline-stained knuckles and a bounty on his head. He doesn’t do heroics; he does survival. But when he finds Dru in a ditch, her back lashed raw and eyes blazing hellfire, he sees a mirror of his own damned soul. And he can’t look away. Their bond is a lit fuse. Dragon’s father—Colombia’s cartel kingpin—wants Dru dead. Louise, armed with voodoo rituals and the wrath of Marinette, the loa who feasts on chaos, wants her broken. The only allies? The Lou Nwa, a bayou biker gang trading in bullets and black magic, and Papa Legba, the crossroads spirit who offers Dru a deal: “Her soul or yours.” But the bayou’s traps are relentless: - Dragon’s father hunts his son with a price on his head. - Big Danni, Dru’s estranged uncle and Lou Nwa leader, demands loyalty as his gang fractures. - Marinette’s magic twists allies into puppets, their strings slick with swamp rot. And then there’s Dragon—hands that mend engines and break bones, lips that taste like whiskey and run. He swears he’s too ruined to love her. Dru knows she’s too shattered to let him. But in the swamp’s choking heat, where bullets sing and loas whisper, desire is a grenade neither one can dodge. As they blaze through the Deep South’s underbelly—cursed bayous, cartel blood feuds, and safehouses reeking of betrayal—they’ll face more than bullets. Dark magic seeps into old wounds. Family secrets unravel like nooses. And the line between protector and predator shatters. Dru doesn’t need saving. She needs fire. And Dragon? He’s got a lighter, a death wish, and a heart that won’t quit beating for her. **Warning:** This is not a fairytale. It’s bayou smoke and switchblade kisses, saints and sinners colliding where the road meets the ruin. Contains graphic violence, explosive passion, and a love story that burns hotter than a Molotov in a meth lab. Will they raze the South to ashes? Or become the sacrifice the crossroads demands?

My Alphas' Dark Desires

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT I was eight when my world burned. My family was slaughtered; my home was reduced to ash. And the ones responsible? Gone. All they left behind was a black bandana embroidered with a nightshade thorn—a symbol of death. For ten years, I trained in the shadows. I became a weapon. Now, my hunt leads me to Prestige Supernatural Academy (PSA), the most elite werewolf school in the world—a place ruled by four Alpha heirs with too much power, arrogance, and dark desires. The night I arrive, I cross paths with Dristan, Kai, and Axel—heirs to the East, North, and West Alpha Kings. Arrogant. Vicious. Gods among wolves. They see me as nothing. A weak, powerless stray. They humiliate me, taunt me, overpower me— making me want to rip them apart. So, I make a vow: I’ll destroy them before they ever get the chance to destroy me. Then, on the eve of my 18th birthday, the Blood Moon rises. My wolf awakens. My power surges. And fate? That cruel, twisted bitch shackles me to all three of them. Mates. I want to reject them. I burn for them instead. And when I meet Xade, the wicked, silver-tongued heir to the Middle Belt Alpha King, the final bond snaps into place. Four possessive, dominant, and dangerously irresistible alphas. One vengeful, unbreakable wolf. And a deadly secret tying them to my past. Loving them could destroy me. Hating them could kill me. But in the end… who will ruin whom? And, fuck—why does my traitorous body want all four of them to do it? *************** “Say it.” Dristan’s voice was smooth and controlled in a way that promised devastation underneath. I swallowed hard, my pulse hammering as he cornered me against the desk. Kai was behind me, his warmth pressing into my back, his breath teasing my neck. Axel leaned in, lips curved in a sinful smirk, his hazel green eyes dark with amusement. “Say it, sweetheart. Say you don’t want us and we’ll let you be—maybe.” I clenched my fists. I wanted to tell them to fuck off—but my traitorous body? It was already betraying me.  My skin burned. My heart raced. My thighs clenched against the insufferable ache they caused just by existing. I lifted my chin, ignoring the heat curling low in my stomach. “I don’t—” “Liar.” The single word came from Xade, who had been silent until now. He was sitting in the professor’s chair, his crystal blue eyes burning into mine. He didn’t have to touch me. His voice alone was enough to undo me. He smirked, tilting his head. “You can fight it all you want, little wolf. But we can smell it.” Axel’s fingers traced the pulse at my throat. “Your heart’s pounding.” Kai’s lips brushed my ear. “Your body’s betraying you, love.” Dristan exhaled slowly, his gaze locked onto mine like a predator savouring its prey. “Your scent doesn’t lie, mate.” Fuck. My entire body was on fire. My legs trembled. My wolf purred in my head, eager to submit. I wouldn’t. I couldn’t. So, I did the only thing I could—I shoved Axel back, spun around, and tried to escape. I didn’t make it. Kai grabbed my wrist, yanking me back into his chest. I gasped, my palms slamming against his rock-solid torso. His golden eyes burned into mine. “Where do you think you’re going?” Axel was behind me now, his fingers sliding under my jaw, forcing my head up. “We’re not done with you, sweetheart.” Dristan smirked. “Not even close, mate.” "We're just getting started," Xade drawled. I was trapped. Caged. And the worst part? I didn’t want to run. ***************** Instagram: Baevidaa Join me on Discord: https://discord.gg/68t5Pv3Gmn BaeVida#7176

The Alpha's Ogbanje

She came to America for a fresh start. She didn’t expect the spirits to follow her. Ada, a Nigerian girl deeply connected to Igbo spirituality, moves to the U.S. for her studies, hoping to escape the mysterious and unsettling dreams that have haunted her since childhood. But instead of finding peace, the visions grow darker—filled with haunting masquerades, cryptic warnings, echoes of ogene drums and oja sounds. What's worse, the events in her dreams begin manifesting in reality, pulling her into a reality she cannot escape. In a modern society where supernatural beings live openly among humans and werewolves rule America, Frank—the prince of the American werewolf kingdom—has always resisted the advances of eager admirers, patiently awaiting his fated mate. He never imagined that fate would bind him to a human girl, someone with no trace of wolf in her blood—or so it seems. As their bond deepens, Frank and Ada uncover truths neither of them could have predicted. Ada’s spiritual roots run far deeper than anyone imagined, and her presence threatens to upend the balance between the werewolf world and the spirit realm she tried to leave behind. But their growing connection comes at a price. Rogues, corrupted witches, and an ancient secret order working from the shadows begin to stir. Together, Ada and Frank are drawn into a looming conflict that could unravel both the physical and spiritual worlds. At the center of it all stands Ada—whose mysterious power may hold the key to salvation… or destruction. THE ALPHA'S OGBANJE is a captivating blend of supernatural romance, Igbo mysticism, and modern drama—where tradition meets destiny, and love may be the force that changes everything. --- Ask me questions about this story on any of my social media accounts: Facebook: Lindawn Discord: @itslindawn Instagram: @itslindawn THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR READING ♡

ANCHOR OF HEARTS

“It seems you owe me a favor for reuniting you and your father,” Zane said in his usual calm, steely voice. Selina slowly drifted her attention from the scenery and stared at him in disbelief. “How did you know I was referring to my father?” she asked, a hint of surprise simmering beneath her voice. “I see,” Zane muttered, his glacial eyes fixed on her bewildered gaze. “Do you truly believe if the world doesn’t recognize you as Hudson’s daughter, you can escape the doom that comes with his blood?” His voice pulsed with deep-seated grudges. Selina moved her eyes sideways in shock and bewilderment about what he meant. "I'm not hiding being my father's daughter. I'm only forbidden to mention my connections with him." Selina's bewildered gaze couldn’t hold his terrifying eyes for even a second, flickering instead to the corner of the room. “I’m not hiding being my father’s daughter. I’m only forbidden to speak of my ties with him.” Zane let out a disdainful snort, taking a predatory step closer as she instinctively retreated. "It's intriguing and hellish to have Hudson's daughter tonight to taste my retribution," he whispered. His calmness had faded into a haunting aura, leaving the air eerily thick as Selina gulped down dry. Her heart couldn't help but drum against her ribcage, the sound rising to her ears at his sinister words. “What…retribution…are you talking about?" Selina stammered, still retreating with Zane catching up with her pace. With his lips curved in a mild sneer, Zane uttered, "You don’t understand how desperate I’ve been, waiting for this day to watch you tortured, crying and begging for your peace relentlessly." "But I haven't wronged you either for me to be tortured by you." She attempted to sound confident in an unsettling atmosphere and only prayed he wouldn't hurt her. “As long as your father wronged me, so did you," Zane declared, his voice low and resentful. "And believe me, his retribution will hurt, far more than you think.” *** As the outcast daughter of the Everett family, Selina lives an ordinary life while fighting to rebuild herself into a prestigious figure—one whose name will echo through the world for decades to come. Just like every girl who dreams of being loved and cherished by the man she adores, Selina longs for a romance that feels like magic, with the very man she’s been secretly crushing on for three unforgettable years. But her quiet yearning shatters the moment that very man, Zane, returns not with affection, but with a ruthless vendetta against her and her family. His vengeance costs her everything—her dreams, her future, and nearly her life. Caught in the storm of his revenge and the cold rejection of those she once called family, Selina finds herself heartbroken and isolated. Then, fate plays its usual teasing card between Selina and Zane, as the unforgettable night they share at his welcome banquet yields an outcome neither of them expects. When Selina discovers she is pregnant with her enemy’s child, she refuses to remain ensnared in his ruthless, consuming revenge and leaves broken in the end. With nothing left but her resolve, she strikes a desperate deal: she will carry their child, in exchange for something momentarily precious to him.
