Chapter: Chapter Fourteen Harper's POV:I pushed against Hardin's chest with my hands as she tried to lift me from where I was laid down. "Hardin," I mumbled in protest. His arms stayed tight around me. "I can't keep doing this. Maybe I need to leave LA again." The idea stuck in my head. Hardin did not let go. He lifted me up in his arms like a bride and walked out of his office. He stepped into his private elevator.The elevator was dark. Only weak lights from the panels glowed a little. The Moonlight came in when the doors opened to the car pack.Heat filled my face. I wished Hardin acted like my ex-husband. That would make it simple to get away from him. But Hardin did not act that way. His cologne came from his shirt and filled my nose. I leaned closer to him against what my head was saying, as he carried me to his car.I spotted the car I drove that morning from his mansion garage."He will probably send someone to pick it up," I thought. Hardin set me down in the passenger seat."I do not want to hear y

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen Harper's POV:"Harper?"His hand landed on my shoulder and I flinched. The contact burned through my blouse like he'd pressed hot metal against my skin.I couldn't look at him. Couldn't make my mouth work. The chandelier above us was spinning or maybe I was spinning and the carpet underneath my heels felt like it was tilting sideways."I thought this would make you happy." His voice cracked on the last word."What happened? Why are you just standing there?""I don't..." My throat closed around the words and I had to force them out one at a time. "I don't know how I feel about this, Hardin."The confession spilled faster now and I couldn't stop it, couldn't control the way my voice was climbing higher and louder. "I wanted to get Meridian myself. Me. Not you swooping in like some hero who knows what's best for poor helpless Harper who can't fight her own battles.""So what do you want me to say?" The bitter laugh that came out of me sounded like someone else. "Thank you Mr. Wolfe for w

Chapter: Chapter Twelve Harper’s POV:I took it his hands and we walked down the hallway to one of the conference rooms. When he pushed the door open I saw them, five women sitting around the table and they all looked up at once and their expressions went cold."So I'm glad you all understand your roles now and how Miss Harper Lane will be guiding you in making Novare Group reach greater heights." Hardin's voice was different here, commanding and professional, and watching him in his business mode made heat pool between my legs because he was so in control and I wanted to mess that control up, wanted to see him wrecked and saying my name."Miss Lane?"Someone was tapping my shoulder and I blinked hard trying to focus."So I'll leave you to talk to your team and see me after you're done." Hardin was looking at me and one eyebrow was up like he knew exactly where my mind had gone. Then he winked and walked out.God this is going to be hard.I turned to face the women and they were all watching me with expressi

Chapter: Chapter Eleven Harper's POV:My hands were shaking and I shoved them in my pockets so Jenny wouldn't see."Hi Jenny." I turned away from her and walked back to the driver's side, bending down to check the front bumper and the headlights and thank God there was nothing, not even a scratch. The damage was all on her car, that expensive white thing that probably cost a lot, but I don't care."Coward, so you're just leaving?" Jenny's voice got louder and sharper. "I know you want me dead because if not you won't attack my car like this."I slid back into the driver's seat without looking at her because if I looked at her I'd say something I couldn't take back and I didn't have time for this, not today, not when I was already late and my entire future was waiting inside that building.I started the engine and backed away from her car and she was still yelling but I couldn't hear the words anymore over the blood rushing in my ears. I drove into the Novare Group garage and parked and my chest was so tight

Chapter: Chapter TenHarper's POV:The sunlight hit my face and for the first time in weeks I didn't want to hide from it. My eyes opened slow and the room came into focus, warm and golden, and I stretched under sheets that smelled like him, like that clean expensive scent that made my stomach do things it shouldn't."Good morning sunshine."His voice came from somewhere near the window and my pussy clenched without permission. I turned my head and there he was, already dressed in a black suit with his sleeves rolled up, watching me with eyes that made me want to pull him back into this bed and forget about everything waiting outside."Good morning," I said and my voice came out rougher than I expected.He moved closer and I noticed the way his jaw tensed when his eyes dropped to where his shirt hung loose on my body, barely covering my thighs. Last night had been a lot but something about it felt right even though it shouldn't have, like maybe I'd known this man longer than a few days, like maybe my body

Chapter: Chapter NineHarper's POV:Five million dollars.The number kept repeating in my head like some kind of sick joke and I couldn't make it stop no matter how many times I blinked at the paper or tried to pretend I hadn't just been served with a lawsuit that would destroy whatever was left of my life."Let me handle this." Hardin's voice came from somewhere behind me but it sounded far away, like I was underwater and he was calling from the surface.I folded the papers and shoved them back in the envelope because looking at them made my hands shake worse."You can't handle this," I said and my voice came out flat. "This isn't your problem.""Harper...""I need to go." I walked past him toward the door and my legs felt like they might give out but I kept moving because if I stopped I'd fall apart right here in his office and I couldn't do that, not in front of him, not in front of anyone.His hand caught my wrist and pulled me back around to face him."Where are you going to go?" His eyes searched min

The Wolfless Luna's Revenge
She was broken. He made her whole. But her past won't stay buried.
Sera Hartley was rejected on her eighteenth birthday—humiliated in front of her entire pack by the one man fated to love her. Cade Storm, the future Alpha, looked at her wolfless body and declared her too weak to be his Luna.
Shattered and desperate, Sera ran. For three years, she built a quiet life among humans, burying the mate bond that still claws at her chest, working in a small-town diner where no one knows her shame.
Then he walks in.
Conrad Hawthorn. Ancient. Powerful. Dangerous. An Alpha whose presence makes her knees weak and her pulse race.
He claims she's his mate—but that's impossible.
The Moon Goddess doesn't grant second chances to the wolfless and broken.
Conrad doesn't care what's impossible. He pursues her with a hunger that sets her skin on fire, protects her from threats she doesn't see coming, and looks at her like she's the only thing in his world that matters. When his lips finally claim hers, when his hands map every curve of her trembling body, Sera feels something she thought she'd never have
Wanted. Desired. Whole.
But the past has holes. And when Sera's wolf finally emerges powerful, Alpha-born, magnificent.
Her old pack comes crawling back. Cade wants what he threw away. Her real father demands she take her rightful place. And Conrad? He'll burn the world down before he lets anyone take his mate.
Two Alphas. One woman. A bond that defies the laws of their kind.
But when her wolf awakens, will Sera discover she was never the weak one at all?

Chapter: Chapter Five Three Years Later:Sera’s POV:The box of plates landed solid on the shelf and I stepped back to admire the neat arrangement, feeling that small burst of satisfaction that came from finishing a task well."Look at you, making my stockroom look like something out of a magazine." Mrs. Judith's sister appeared in the doorway with a warm smile. "There's a blueberry danish waiting for you on the counter, fresh out of the oven.""You spoil me." I grabbed the pastry and took a bite, the buttery sweetness melting on my tongue. Three years of these mornings and I still wasn't used to how good her baking was."Someone has to, and lord knows you won't spoil yourself." She poured coffee into a to-go cup. "You drive out to Ridgemont yesterday?""Yeah, just wanted to enjoy the fresh air." The lie came easy after three years of practice. I'd driven two hours south yesterday just to mail Mom's birthday card from a different town, with no return address and a postmark that would lead them nowhere clos

Chapter: Chapter FourSera’s POV:The guard booth came up fast, yellow light spilling across the road. I gripped the steering wheel tighter and tried to make my face look normal even though my eyes were swollen and my throat felt raw from crying.He leaned out of the booth window and waved me through without even looking twice. No questions. No mindlink to the Alpha. Just a wave like I was going to get groceries and would be back in an hour.I pressed the gas and the pack border passed beneath my tires and I waited for it, that pull in my chest that happened every time I left pack territory, but instead something loosened. The pressure that had been sitting on my ribs for days lifted and I could breathe deeper than I had since Cade's face twisted with disappointment under the firelight.The highway stretched empty in front of me and I drove.Three hours later I pulled into the bank parking lot in the nearest human town. My hands shook when I filled out the withdrawal slips, when I closed the savings accoun

Chapter: Chapter ThreeSera’s POV:Mom got up and I heard her walk to the door, heard it open and then Luna Skye's voice drifted up the stairs soft and careful."Samantha, I made some tea. How is she doing?""Thank you but I'm fine." Mom's voice had an edge to it I'd never heard before, sharp and cold. "She's holding strong.""I was hoping to sit with her for a while, to see if I could be of help or comfort.""I don't think that's a good idea. Sera needs her family right now.""Samantha." Luna Skye's voice went high and tight. "I'd like to think of myself as family. We've been close since we mated with Kieran and John.""I would have said the same yesterday but after what your son did to my baby I think we need to rethink certain things. I need to protect Sera and we both know the pack won't protect her the way they would someone who wasn't rejected by the future Alpha. The least I can do is make sure she's around the right people.""I love her like a daughter.""But not enough to fight for her. Skye, you a

Chapter: Chapter TwoSera’s POV:"Sera."Cade said my name low and sad, like he was already mourning something, and I felt the space around us clear as everyone stepped back because newly mated pairs needed room, needed privacy, needed protection until they'd claimed each other. Somewhere far away I heard Dad and Alpha Kieran laughing as they congratulated each other but the sound felt wrong, felt like it was coming from underwater."Cade." My voice came out barely above a whisper.He took a few steps toward me and I couldn't move, couldn't look away from his eyes because they were telling me something I didn't want to hear, something that was making my stomach twist tighter and tighter until I thought I might break apart right there in front of everyone."Ser, I'm sorry but I can't."Each word hit like a fist to the chest. The pack went silent, so silent I could hear my own heartbeat thundering in my ears, and for a second I wished he'd just hit me instead because at least then I could pass out or die or

Chapter: Chapter OneSera’s POV:"Maybe she's just human, John. Maybe we need to accept that."The words drifted from the Alpha's office window, and I froze with the wool blankets clutched against my chest. Mom's voice, the one she used when she was trying to be gentle about something that would cut me open."She's not human." Dad's voice came out rough, angry in a way that made my stomach twist. "Don't say that about our daughter.""I'm not trying to hurt anyone, but it's been two years past when most wolves emerge and tomorrow she turns eighteen without any sign..." Mom's voice cracked, and that was somehow worse than if she'd just said it mean. "What if we're setting her up to get hurt? What if she finds her mate tomorrow and he rejects her because she can't shift? You know how this works."I couldn't breathe. Couldn't move. The blankets slipped from my hands and hit the ground with a soft thud that felt too loud in my ears."Pick those up, kid."I spun around and there was Gamma Luca, watching me wit
