THE DEVIL'S ALPHA No one in the Infernal Pit knows his name. Not at first. He is just another prisoner thrown into the sand to fight for the entertainment of people who will never learn what he lost to end up here. But the memories keep breaking through. A burning window. A father's last stand. A mother's warning about something called the First Choir, whispered as the world he knew burned to the ground. Piece by piece, the truth surfaces, he is the last son of House Varkaine, heir to a bloodline everyone believes is extinct. Survival teaches him to fight. Loss teaches him to lead. And somewhere beneath his own ribs, something ancient and patient begins, slowly, to wake. Free at last, he does not want a throne. He wants something the old world never offered anyone like him, a place to belong. But the kings who destroyed his family were only ever puppets, and the true enemy waiting in the shadows has been guarding a secret far older than any crown. They call him the Devil's Alpha. He is only just beginning to find out what that name will cost him.

In the darkest corners of Marseille, where hope sinks faster than a rusted anchor, an overdose should have been the end for Jean Valéry. But for this broken Navy veteran, death was only a doorway. He awoke with another soul burning within him—that of the Black Sea Alchemist, the failed guardian of Atlantis, whispering of ancient magic and the vengeance of the deep. Every corner of the Old Port is now his laboratory, every drop of polluted saltwater an ingredient for deadly potions and poisons. Fractured memories guide him, while a raw and dangerous alchemical power demands release. But Marseille is not only a haven for crime bosses. Deep within its murky waters, an ancient power has awakened, demanding accountability for the failures of his past reincarnations. To save the city, he must first seize it from the grip of the underworld. To atone for the sins of the past, he must become a monster in the present. This is not a story about the rise of a hero. This is a story of transmutation—how a broken man is melted down in the crucible of magic, malice, and destiny. The question isn't whether he will survive, but what he will become afterward: an unbeatable crime king, or a protector damned by the sea?

For three years, Derek Moss believed that love was all about sacrifice. He sacrificed many things, including his sexual satisfaction during sex with Erin Chase. Submitting to her rules—limiting their lovemaking to once a month, including having to control his facial expressions, rhythm, and positions—was humiliating for him, yet he endured it out of respect for her. For his wife’s sake, he was even willing to sacrifice his comfort, his self-respect, and his entire life. As a firefighter, he risked his life for others every day. Until one day, amid the flames of a burning hotel, Derek found Erin with another man. But that betrayal was only the beginning. Falsely accused by his superior, made the scapegoat for a rescue mission, and betrayed by the person he trusted most, Derek lost everything—his career, his marriage, even his good name. Just when everyone thought his life was over, fate revealed a secret that had been buried for more than twenty years. The man who had always been seen as just an ordinary firefighter turned out to be a powerful person

My life was a lie. I was a corporate drone, a cog in the machine, living a life of quiet desperation. Then my "father" died, leaving me a single key and a final, cryptic message: "The truth is in the blood." That truth shattered my world. I am not a nobody. I am the last heir to the Obsidian Throne, a secret lineage that has secretly controlled the world's shadows for millennia, wielding a power my family called the "Dominion." But the throne is cursed and the legacy is a bloody one. My inheritance was stolen, my family was murdered, and the architect of my ruin is the man my parents trusted most. Now, I'm a ghost in a world of high-stakes conspiracy. I have the key—an ancient artifact that binds to my soul, granting me a fragment of my family's power—and a burning need for vengeance. To claim what is mine, I must tear down the secret empire built on my family's bones. I will fight, manipulate, and kill my way through the criminal underworld and the glittering halls of the ultra-rich. They think they killed the last of my bloodline. They are about to learn that you cannot kill a king. The reckoning is coming, and it will be paid in blood.
