The Alpha's Forbidden Omega

Die once; shame on the bastard who pushed me. Die twice? That’s when I realize I’m not even human anymore, and I wake up tied to a stake like some 10th-century witch about to be burned. Not great! Wait a minute! Why am I strapped between two posts alongside other terrified girls while a crowd looks on with disgust? And who the fuck is this sizzling male – no predator stepping forward with copper hair falling just above his shoulders and piercing amber eyes that seem to stare right through my damn soul? He’s towering, with a body built for war and an aura so suffocating that I can barely breathe. Even worse! He’s beautiful in the most terrifying way—like staring at an enemy you know could snap your neck, but you’re too mesmerized to look away. Hi, I’m Imani Marlowe. Or at least, I was. In my last life, I was the mistress who got pushed off a skyscraper by my supposedly devoted client-turned-husband who conveniently forgot to mention he was married. In this life, I am Imani Valeris – an Omega werewolf with a broken heat cycle and a psycho wolf who doesn’t listen to me. Translation? I radiate need like a damn beacon, and every supernatural male in a ten-mile radius is ready to claim me. And wouldn’t you know it – my latest meltdown happened during the most crucial werewolf summit of the decade. Perfect timing because just as the butcher lifts his blade to end me for disrupting a revered meeting like the summit, a dragon sweeps through the clouds, covering the sun with its mighty wings before landing right in front of me. In one breath, it burns the guard trying to kill me and then scoots over to that sizzling male from before. His gaze holds mine, and he growls the word “mine.” But then – another voice, just as fierce. “You cannot claim a defect and an offender.” He’s the Alpha of my pack. “She stays with us and will be tried in our courts.” Now I’m trapped between two monsters, and I have to choose: The Infertile Dragon Lord, who is mighty and desperate for an heir Or the powerful Alpha, who is my supposed mate. Both want me. Both would wage war for me. And to top it all off? The man who murdered me in my last life is back – as a vampire, hunting me across lifetimes. Oh, and I have three days before my next heat hits – likely burning down whatever’s left of my dignity. Three days before I lose my mind to the hunger. Three days before, I have to choose between fire and fury. Tick. Tock.

Reincarnated: Vive La France

France, 1934. The scars of the Great War still shape the military minds of the Third Republic. Trapped in the past, its generals place their faith in fortifications and defensive warfare, while across the Rhine, a new German army rises, faster, deadlier, and ready to crush everything in its path. Into this world awakens Captain Étienne Moreau, a man who should not exist. He remembers another life, one where France falls in 1940, where German tanks storm through the Ardennes, bypassing the Maginot Line. One where his country surrenders in a matter of weeks. But here, now, he has a chance to stop it. As an officer in the 2nd Armored Division, he fights for reforms: pushing for mobile tank warfare, warning of Hitler’s growing ambitions, and challenging the high command’s obsession with World War I tactics. Yet, his ideas are dismissed as radical, madness from a young officer who "thinks he knows war." Surrounded by political intrigue, military infighting, and rising fascism, Moreau must carefully navigate the system, winning allies among future leaders like Charles de Gaulle, while avoiding suspicion from the French High Command. His knowledge is a double-edged sword, if he is too aggressive, he risks being labeled a traitor. If he does nothing, he will live to see France burn. As war draws closer, Moreau faces a terrifying question: Can history be changed? Or is France doomed to fall, no matter what he does? Time is running out. The Blitzkrieg is coming. And he may be France’s last chance to fight back. -------------- Join my Discord Server. https://discord.gg/jma9zt3eNs I'm writing in a pretty niche genre, so I don't expect a huge number of readers.
