Mirrors
Wicked Princes Book 1
by Angela J. Ford
Genre: Fantasy Romance, Romantasy
He’s the kingdom's
most dangerous prisoner. She just accidentally helped him escape.
When forbidden magic awakens within Princess Esmira, she
knows she must flee—or be executed. Hoping to escape through the palace’s
hidden tunnels, she instead discovers a chamber of ancient mirrors. Mist coils.
Magic stirs. One touch shatters the glass—and frees Prince Methrin, the Wicked
Prince of Mirrors.
Cursed for vanity, bloodshed, and a betrayal that nearly
destroyed the realm, Methrin was exiled to the mirrorverse long ago. Now he's
back—immortal, furious, and dangerously compelling. He claims the stories are
twisted lies, the crown was stolen and the true monster escaped. Only Esmira’s
raw, unstable magic can stop it.
Forced to flee together, bound by forbidden magic, Esmira is
pulled into a world of illusions, broken prophecy, and a prince who sees
through every mask she wears. As their connection deepens, so do the
risks—because the monster Methrin once unleashed still haunts the realm… and
it’s hunting again.

Legend of the Forest
Raquel Gabrielle
Publication date: April 25th 2025
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance
Mia has always been drawn to the unusual, a fascination that’s made her an outcast. The world beyond their wall is shrouded in mystery, with few stories to go on—mostly fairy tales or fragments about the Old Ones. No one other than the guards dare to venture into the woods, and those who have don’t return the same, if at all.
When a creature is captured in town, it sparks a chain of events that brings more dangers from the edges of the forest—some friendly, some not. As Mia helps the creature escape, she never expects to journey into the dark woods and unravel secrets beyond her wildest imagination.
There, she meets Haddox, a golden, irresistible man who offers passion and freedom like she’s never known. Then there’s Grey, his polar opposite—stoic, mysterious, and a constant thorn in her side. The tension between them boils over, until they can no longer ignore the undeniable connection between them.
Mia scrunched up the paper in her fist. She stared at the beige wall. She could not believe what she had read. Thoughts raced through her mind, and her throat tightened with emotion. The urge to scream was so strong she took a huge bite of bread, stuffing her face. The bread tasted like burned ash. As she swallowed the bread, her stomach turned sour at the thought of taking another bite. She then turned the light down low, making it more difficult to read the letter. The letters on the paper blurred together as tears filled her eyes.
“She will never accept me. Never accept anything I try or do. She will force my hand into the pictures she has chosen for me.” Tears fell down her cheeks, stifling her cry with her hands over her mouth.
A scratch at the back door caught her attention, stopping her hot tears and sniffles. Everything froze and was quiet for a moment before another scratch. The letter fell from her fingers as she went to the door. Giving the door a curious look, she loosened the tie to move the cloth and look out the window. The darkness made it hard to see what was out there. Cracking it open, icy rain pelted her bare hand. The water was cool against the heat that radiated from her.
A snout pushed hard against the opening. A body wriggled in and slid through before she could close it. Mia jumped back, surprised that the creature from earlier came barreling in, sniffing the ground. Electric blue fur with black stripes streak across the kitchen, heading back to her. Powerful limbs scrambled across the wood as his eyes feast on the hand still holding the bread. Pulling a chair out, she blocked the beast, guarding herself from being attacked.
“You hungry?” she questioned. Wanting to calm the creature long enough to settle down.
Jumping up, its hindquarters remained on the ground; its front paws landed on the chair seat. It used its front two paws to lift itself closer, reaching for the bread that was just out of grasp.
Lifting her hand up, she kept it away. “Food, you want?” She broke off a small piece, placing it right through the back bars of the chair furthest from its teeth. She pulled her hand back through the bars quickly, not wanting to get her fingers bitten off.
With a sniff of the food, a long tongue came out, licked it, and then gobbled it up. Its eyes were dark as it waited there patiently for more.
“Food?” It croaked out when neither one moved for a while.
Dropping the bread all together, Mia’s eyes go wide. “Did you just talk?”
“Food!” it said louder, giving a happy howl of excitement as it jumped down, attacking the food that had rolled. The bread disappeared in a matter of minutes. “More?” The creature cocked its head to the side and gave sad eyes.
“Oh, umm. You want more?” Her eyes searched the kitchen. She had not seen any more bread. “Are you a boy or a girl?”
“Boy.” He shuffled, coming up behind her.
“Do you have a name?”
“Bloo.” He hopped up and down, his nails clicking on the floor.
“Blue, oh, because of your coloring?”
Shaking his head. “Bloooo,” he enunciated.
“Bloo?” She shrugged her shoulders, going along with it. Opening a cabinet, she took out some plain cereal and grabbed a handful. She kneeled on the ground, holding her palm out to him. “Can I pet you? Don’t eat me, okay?”
“Food?”
“No, I’m not food. But yes, food is here.” She placed it on the ground beside her. Bloo’s steps were unsure and wary of her movements.

Omega’s Choice
Michelle Minnie
(The Omega Chronicles, #1)
Publication date: March 27th 2025
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance
Helena has led an often restrictive life as a sacred Omega wolf and Princess of the Lichtenberg line. With unimaginable power, come responsibilities and dangers that fill her days, but the time has come for her to choose her Alpha and enjoy the freedom of her very own pack. Alpha Aldric Forst has been seriously scarred in numerous battles for his King while leading armies in the fight to protect their lands from the growing evil. Knowing his ability to attract an Omega mate was slim and he’d resigned himself to a life of loneliness filled with duty to his pack and King Leonidas.
Princess Helena has other ideas for the massive wolf, who both intrigues and sets her heart on fire. At the choosing ceremony, she intends to make her intentions of mating with Aldric Frost known to all. However, an evil is lurking inside the castle walls waiting for its chance to steal away the Princess and as many other Omega wolves as possible. Can Aldric uncover the traitor in time or are the lonely Alpha’s dreams destined to remain just that, dreams.
"I’m not planning on attending this year.” Aldric crumpled the offending piece of paper and threw it into the trash can beside his desk. “I refuse to parade around in hope of being chosen when we all know that’s not going to happen.” He stopped pacing long enough to point out the large scar that ran from his left temple across his cheek to his chin and down his neck before disappearing into his shirt.
“Brother, you’re the alpha of our pack and it’s your duty to attend this gathering. Not only is it a decree by King Leonidas, but who is to say an omega won’t choose you. You’re a respected and strong alpha, our pack is large, and we have our own town and over five hundred acres of wooded lands to
let our wolves run free without fear. There are a lot of benefits to becoming
the alpha mate and omega to our people.”
Godric stood and retrieved the invitation from the garbage, flattening
it out on the desk as best he could and handing it back to Aldric.
“Your brother is right, son. You must attend. We have a strong
relationship with the king and queen, which has been fortuitous since our lands touch on their
northern borders. To refuse an invitation to the yearly Omegas Celebration by
any unmated alpha would be an insult.”
Aldric’s father, Karl, stood and placed his hand on his son’s
back. “I know it has been hard for you, son, since Senorfra. That battle
claimed far too many of our brave men, but bless the gods you survived,
protected our king, and came back to us.”
Admittedly, it was odd that even in this modern age of
convenience and technology, most supernatural beings lived by the old code of fealty, honor, and
loyalty. Considering most lived to be well over one thousand years, having
rules to live by and a king to follow ensured the safety and health of all
werewolves.
“True, we fought bravely and many men never returned from that
damned forest, but the rest of us came back scarred in one way or another. My scars cover my
body, and there’s no omega out there who will choose me. When will any of you see
this? Omegas are rare and wield powerful magic. They can pick any alpha and any
pack they wish and be given anything they desire because of the blessings they
will bring to that pack. I’m not saying that an omega doesn’t deserve such
things, but none would want a battle-scarred alpha, no matter how wealthy or
strong our pack is. Perhaps if Godric went, he—”
“No, don’t even finish that sentence. I am no alpha, brother. I
couldn’t even dream of taking your place. This pack—hell, the entire town looks to you for
leadership. You have given all of them a safe place to live and thrive with
their families. I respect you, brother. You will always be my alpha.”
Aldric stared at his reflection in the window. He knew he was a
scary-looking man; his wolf was even more imposing. His human form stood at
6’7” and weighed over 280 pounds of muscle, which had been hard earned through his years as a general in King
Leonidas’s army before the war ended and Aldric had settled with his family and
pack on these lands. His black hair was braided halfway down his back, just as
his father’s and brother’s, but his dark blue eyes came from his mother.
Tattoos covered his right arm, wrist to shoulder blade, depicting his family
lineage and his position as alpha. They revealed themselves on the day Aldric
assumed his position as alpha. Should he ever be chosen as mate, his blank left
arm would reveal his mating tattoo, indicating the lineage of his mate, their
joining, and any future offspring. The tattoos his kind wore could not be given
by their own hands or magic; they were given by the gods, either at birth or
upon claiming their birthright.
Aldric knew in his heart that his left arm would always remain
bare. His great size alone would be a deterrent to most omegas, who typically
feared a larger predator, but the scars from his many battles that littered his
body made sure to keep all would-be mates away. Normally, a werewolf could heal
most injuries without leaving so much as a scratch, but the ogres had coated
their blades with dark witches’ blood, which was poisonous to all werewolves
and much more difficult to heal, leaving many warriors with these scars. He
just couldn’t figure out why his family chose to ignore these facts and
continued to make him attend these celebrations, which allowed omegas of age
who had come into their powers to choose an alpha as mate.
