THE ALPHA'S ASSASSIN MATE
Lyra has one purpose only, kill the Alpha who destroyed her pack and murdered her father.
Working as a servant in the notorious Alpha Aziel's palace, she plans to poison him and vanish. But fate has other ideas.
When their eyes lock, the mate call blazes through her, the unbreakable bond of mates.
Aziel, the cursed king of Black Moon Pack, believes the Moon Goddess has damned him forever… until he finds his fated mate among his servants.
Secrets become lies, passion battles with revenge, and every touch threatens to uncover Lyra's secret.
When enemies emerge and betrayal kills deep inside, Lyra must decide: keep his blood vow… or save the mate he was born to destroy.

Chapter: CLOSE QUARTERSLyra's POVI would rather die than see the alpha in his chambers . I tell myself over and over again as a kind of mantra so that maybe it will be real.So I don't leave. I stay where the air smells of soap and pots, where work keeps my hands busy and my head muddled. The servants' wing is boisterous in the only way a space stays vibrant — clinking pots, a humming woman ironing, a boy swearing under his breath as he lifts sacks of rags. I scrub, sweep, pile. Anything to have something between my ribs to keep the rest of me from hurting.My shoulders hurt by noon from lifting too many trays. My hands sweat with steam. I value the little exhaustion which conceals the larger one. Rumour runs faster than I do; someone in the kitchen has already seen the message and the rumour goes out. It is a little, fiery patch at the base of my neck: the knowledge that the Alpha asked for me. The knowledge that I declined ,and now probably look like an insolent fool.A girl — Rue — rushes by me with an

 Chapter: A CURSED KINGAziel's POVI'd walked in the name  Cursed King longer than I'd walked past my own name  which was my father's name, also.Aziel. The sound of it was akin to the nip of winter wind on bare skin.My pack took that curse with me.Hated. Feared.Wherever we walked, whispers followed. We were wolves who darkened the earth with our blood, wolves who devoured peace.And my people starved while I sat on a throne of bones and legacy.We could not trade. Could not move. No pack would do business with us.And hunger was a more cruel enemy than war, it crept, one by one picking off my people.So I made a decision.If I must bow to another Alpha, so be it.If I had to defend a weaker pack on the cost of mine, I would.If I had to sign peace in blood, I would do that too.For them. Forever for them.My search for a mate was long over years ago — not due to hopelessness, but because I knew the goddess had cursed me for my father's sins.My father had burned villages and called it glory.I carried h

 Chapter: A GAME OF FATE Lyra's POVThe road to Black Crest was colder than I'd imagined.With every step I took, I felt its weight more — as if the shades from my pack clung to my boots, warning, Don't mess this up .I hadn't slept in days. When my eyes would close and all I would see was the body of my father there on the ground in a puddle of blood, his hand reaching for mine even as he died.Now I was approaching the territory of the monster who had ordered it done.The infamous Alpha Aziel.When the iron gates of the Black Crest pack rose into view, my heart almost stopped. The guards stood tall — black armor, pale eyes, and the scent of dominance clinging to the air. One of them, broader than a tree trunk, blocked my way.“Who are you?” His growl rolled through my bones.I forced my voice steady. “New servant. Kitchen department. I—I’m supposed to be interviewed today.”He leaned in. For a moment, I was certain he heard my racing heart. Then he snorted, the sound sharp. "Name?""L–Lyra. Sir."He looked

 Chapter: GUTTING REVENGE9 years laterLyra's POVWhen I promised to take revenge for my father, I swore it with the hollowness of my chest and the metal in my bones. The vow had lain under my skin like a second heartbeat,persistent, cold, and unyielding. It had nourished me for years.They looked upon me now as they'd looked upon a girl who'd come back from a bad dream: too much sympathy and too little respect. Most of them'd been out the night the Blue Moon fell. Those sitting in the hall of size were either survivors of that load of smoke and blood, or newly arrived strangers stitched into roles the world had forced upon them. Either way, their verdicts for me were superficial and pure, like knives to clean a wound.Emma had told them. She had spoken the words in my absence.”He's going to Black Crest. He plans to go in as a servant. He intends to kill their Alpha”.You will not proceed to enemy territories," one of the elders said, his voice as dry as paper. He said it as if it were a pronouncement.My mot

 Chapter: BEFORE THE BLOODLyra's POVI was fifteen the night my world exploded.The sun had barely begun to drop behind the pines, painting the Blue Moon Pack lands in gold. My birthday lanterns dangled from the trees, rustling softly. The air reeked of roasted meat, pine, and laughter. Wolves danced, pups played, music rang off the hills. For once, everyone was joyful.I sat atop the fence post beside Emma, who'd been my friend all our lives. She had tied a light blue ribbon through her blonde braids, the same shade as my pack's crest. "You're nervous," she playfully bumped my arm and said. "Is the amazing Lyra scared of her own party?"I'm not afraid," I lied, puffing out my chest like he used to. "Just thinking about my first shift. Dad says it'll be any week now. He thinks I'll be a better Alpha than him."Emma snorted. "No one's better than Alpha Kael.""He said I'd be a better Alpha someday," I whispered.I knew he did. I really did.The elders would tell me I inherited his eyes  sharp, gold-amber, fierc

THE GOLDEN BOY'S TARGET
Ellie  is a shy, lanky teenager, thrust into a world she doesn't belong in; a place whose students are worth more than their weight in gold. So Ellie 's plan is simple; keep her head down and focus on her studies. Be invisible.
But her plan shatters the moment she spills grape juice on Carter; the school’s golden boy, untouchable because of the power his family name possesses.
Ellie 's life implodes. What begins as an accident quickly spirals into a literal nightmare. Carter makes Ellie  his target, and the torment rapidly escalates until one evening they reach a humiliating agreement.
Over time, lines blur adding a delicious layer of confusion to their twisted dynamic, one that neither of them care for.
But just when she thinks he can't take it anymore, salvation comes from an unlikely source; her favorite teacher, one he has secretly admired. 
As this forbidden relationship blooms and Carter is fended off, Ellie  can take a deep breath again. Everything is finally ok.
Until it isn't.
The ultimate betrayal leaves Ellie  shattered, sitting amidst the broken pieces of her recently found happiness. She becomes a shell of her former self, shutting out everyone trying to reach her, which shockingly includes Carter. 
Why? Why is he suddenly desperate to get in touch with Ellie ? And will he succeed? Or will it not matter anyway because she's too far gone?

Chapter: THE THREAT OF A BABYWhen class ends, I hang back while Mr. LeMonde gathers his papers. Carter is the first one to stalk out of the class. The other students file out quickly too, probably rushing to their next classes or skipping them entirely. I hover near his desk, my nerves taut like a stretched rubber band“Good morning, sir,” I force out as he turns to leave.He looks up. When his eyes meet mine, they seem to twinkle, like this isn't the first time he's seen me. I'm drawn to them. They seem to promise mischief, antics that may get me burned, but yet will enjoy as I stand in the flame. “Good morning, What's your name?”I swallow, felling the familiar weight of shame. I strangely feel both nervous and almost turned on. “I'm Jackson. Ellie . Ellie  Jackson,” I stutter.“Yes Ellie , what can I do for you?”“I was wondering if. . . I could change my partner.”He leans back slightly, not looking surprised at all.“Well, it's possible. But that's a lot of stress moving people around to accommodate you so I'

 Chapter: THE TEACHER SITUATION (Ellie 's PoV)The video has gone viral in school. One of the most embarrassing, degrading moments of my life captured in stunning clarity and different angles.Silly me. I thought that maybe it would blow over, that if I just went home, ate something warm, hugged my mom very tight, that it would just . . . disappear.It didn't. Why would it? Shame sticks.I sat awake yesterday, reading through all the comments, watching all the edits already made from the original video until I felt like I was going to throw up in my bed. A lot of them were cruel, some of them were inappropriate, a handful of them blamed me and all of them were deeply hurtful.And now I'm standing in front of these school doors again, the feeling of déjà vu sitting heavily on my shoulders like a boulder. Carter's in there. He’s behind those doors, breathing, walking and talking like he hasn't now become the embodiment of terror I see when I close my eyes. And I'm supposed to go in there too.I hate the fact that he

 Chapter: ON THE OTHER SIDE(Carter's PV)Life's a bitch.One moment I’m just sitting there on my fucking own when a idiot walks up and pours grape juice all over my watch. I sigh as I walk out the school doors, hands twitching to hit something, really hit something.And all probably for some dare too. Or maybe he wanted to talk to me or some stupid shit like that.Today's just fucking great! I already left mom and dad fucking in the living room after Mom cheated on him with two of his golf buddies. Two this time, so that'll be twice the argument. By the time I get home I know that they'll be at each other's necks again.All this before nine am too.Everyday, I fear they're getting closer and closer to a divorce. I don't want that. I'm so so tired of this, why can't they just. . . stop cheating on each other? I want us to be a family again, happy and in love.I pull down my glasses and speed out of the school's parking lot.They really used to be so in love it was almost sickening; always kissing, always going o

 Chapter: DISASTER STRIKESI hear my bottle still rolling down the steps, but I don't take my eyes away from the boy. His phone sits broken in a small pool of juice, a step below us, from when he must have dropped it.He calmly moves his head, accessing the damage. His white T-shirt is now stained a light purple. I see him glance at his wrist and stop.I watch as a look of mania clouds his green eyes. He springs to his feet. There's a sense of urgency in his movements as he yanks his watch off. He's breathing hard, frantically wiping it against his shirt. His brows are drawn together, as if pleading as he taps the face of the watch with his finger.I hear people begin to hurriedly climb the stairs. By the time he slides his watch into the pocket of the pair of jeans he's wearing, wet at the crotch and down one leg, a small crowd has gathered around me in a semi-circle.He looks up and his eyes zero in on me. The expression that takes over his face as he advances makes me shrink back; they’re cold, sharp and ful

 Chapter: HOW IT BEGAN(Ellie 's Pov)I can't do this.I've been standing in front of my new school for maybe ten minutes, and I only have ten more before my first class, but I can't move. There's a heavy feeling in my gut that's telling me to just turn around and go back home, where it's safe.I stare up at the looming doors of the tall, pristine building, every inch radiating wealth. But it might as well be a fortress guarded by hungry dragons with the way my heart pounds in my chest.I force myself to take a step forward. But a moment later I turn around, putting the building behind me. Would it really be that bad if I don't finish highschool? I mean granted there wouldn't be a lot of—Wait, what am I doing? What am I thinking? This is stupid. I can't believe I'm debating the pros and cons of illiteracy in front of a school my parents are barely affording even with me getting a special admission slot. The thought of potential bullying shouldn't stop me. It won't stop me.Besides, I'm sure I'm overthinkin
