Never Again, Alpha
Leopard shifters believe in arranged marriages and not fate but Cheska never did. Raised on stories of destined mates, she knows the truth the moment Vladimir Arkansas, a powerful wolf Alpha, walks into her den.
He is her mate.
Ignoring her family’s warnings about wolves and their hatred for leopard kind, Cheska follows Vladimir to his pack and becomes his Luna. She gives everything to the bond, enduring cold stares, cruel words, and the silent rejection of Vladimir’s family believing love will be enough.
When Cheska finally becomes pregnant after years of trying, she plans to reveal it on Vladimir’s birthday. Instead, she walks into an engagement party of her mate, Vladimir, to Erica, his childhood sweetheart. The diamond ring meant for Cheska now rests on another woman’s hand, and Cheska learns she was never the choice, only a temporary replacement, a place holder.
Heartbroken and fleeing in shame, Cheska is involved in a tragic accident and disappears. Believed dead, she survives with no memories of her past. Rescued by a dying Alpha named Pierre, she is given a new life as Violet Savage, a woman who chooses not to remember, marries her savior, and raises the son who miraculously survived the crash.
Years later, fate brings her back into Vladimir’s world. She doesn’t recognize him but he recognizes her. Especially when he sees the child with unmistakable mismatched eyes of amber and blue.
Determined to win the family he lost, Vladimir draws closer until Erica’s return triggers Violet’s buried memories and awakens Cheska’s fury. Betrayal, love, and pain collide as Vladimir fights to earn forgiveness and rebuild the bond he once shattered. Will Cheska forgive him or will she finally have her revenge?

Chapter: Chapter 131: Find the KeyCheska’s POV"We can't leave her here! He'll kill her!" I shrieked at Anaki.He dropped his arm next to his body, rolling his eyes. "I didn't come here for her, she'll just be extra weight. Now, please. I don't want to stay longer."Panic kept rising within me, as I thought of a way out of this. I wasn't going to leave Sophia here to face Valentine's wrath. "Can we at least unchain her? She doesn't even have to come with us, just let me unchain her and she can run." I pleaded with him desperately.Anaki growled in frustration, before turning away from me and heading over to Sophia. By this time, she was semi-conscious and blinking her eyes lazily. Dried blood stained her head and matted her hair, marring her appearance.As Anaki walked over to her, he reached into his pockets and took out two keys that I immediately recognized. He inserted the silver one into Sophia's chains, twisting it and unlocking the metal. Without the support from the handcuffs, she immediately started to fall

Chapter: Chapter 130: Anaki's returnCheska’s POVI uttered out a few unintelligible sounds before opening my eyes, hoping that they got the message. However when I looked above me, I saw they were still there, calling to me.I tried one again to focus, this time my vision becoming clearer. Blurred lines morphed into facial features, and blended colors moved to fill eyes and hair. I stated at the figure hopefully, wishing it was someone I knew to welcome me in death.when my vision finally focused, I was sorely disappointed."A-Anaki?" I croaked.He smiled above me, blue eyes glinting with joy."Cheska." The voice that had been calling my name rang out again, but this time I registered it as Anaki’s."W-What are you doing here?" I questioned him weakly. He shouldn't be dead yet, Valentine just left to go find him."I came back to rescue you. Your mate is here fighting so I can come and save you." He told me while smiling.I drew my eyebrows together in confusion. "Wheres my children? My parents? T-they should be here..

Chapter: Chapter 129: To save the LunaVlad’s POVI didn’t stop running, not even once. We run for days and nights ignoring sleep and rest. Marzouq never complained once and even Anchor. He was determined to lead me right to the mansion. I didn't feel exhausted even a bit. The only thing keeping me moving was her, my Cheska. I knew she’s still alive, waiting for me. That thought kept replaying in my head over and over, like if I stopped believing it even for a second, I’d lose her.The forest started thinning. We continued running until finally, the sun kissed our faces. As I adjusted my eyes from the blinding sun, I saw it, not far from where we are were the mansion. It was hidden deep in the west forest just like Anchor said.It was massive and almost dark as night. It was eerily quiet.I slowed down not because I was tired but because something in me shifted.That feeling. That pull.My chest tightened.“She’s here,” I muttered.Marzouq came up beside me, silent as always. Even after days of running, he looked untouche

Chapter: Chapter 128: Unreachable freedomCheska’s POVValentine then walked over to me, until he was standing just a foot in front of me. He reached his hand up and I automatically flinched back. When I didn't feel the sting of a slap however, I opened my eyes to see what he was doing. I saw his hand go into his pant leg pocket, and pull out something minuscule. It was gold in color, and barely the size of my pinky. It seemed thin as a piece of paper, and light as a feather. He held it up to me, so that I could fully examine its details. At a closer look, I saw narrow juts coming out from the tip and side of the object. It almost formed the shape of a key. My eyes suddenly grew wide, as I realized what that key led to. He noticed, and laughed aloud. "Pretty thing, isn't it?" He then bent over, kneeling down on one knee. He took the key that was intertwined between his fingers, and placed it gently on the concrete floor. Then reaching into his other pocket, he took out a much less glamorous key and set it down next to th

Chapter: Chapter 127: Erica's DeathValentine carried Two over to where I stood, chained up. A malicious smile played on his lips as he brought the helpless woman up to his chest, now holding her by her neck. One arm wrapped around her neck menacingly, while the other held both hands behind her back. Two weakly struggled against his strong grasp, but she was no match for Valentine's power. None of us were. “She had served her purpose,” he said."Please! Don't hurt her! I'll do anything! Anything. Just leave her alone." I begged Valentine with everything I had, pouring all my desperation into my voice. "I'm so sorry, I won't ever disobey you again. Please!"Valentine's muscular arm flexed around Two's neck as she struggled for breath. He twigs like arms wrapped around his brutal ones, clawing desperately for air. "It's far too late for apologies. Plus, it seems this isn't only your sin, Cheska." He then turned halfway, revealing Bridgit clawing fiercely against her chains. Once she saw his gaze settle on her, she immed

Chapter: Chapter 126: TortureCheska's POVValentine held me just close enough to the ground so that I couldn't regain my footing, but also so that I couldn't use my hands as support for my body. Since there was obviously no chance of me easing the pain he was inflicting, I didn't mind making it a little worse by trying to escape. I thrashed around wildly, grabbing his one fist with both of my hands. He ignored my futile attempts at freedom, and instead tightened his grasp upon my head. I couldn't help but yelp in pain at this, as I felt each strand of hair being ripped from my head. The entire time he was dragging me, I didn't stop my struggling. I could tell I was making him angry, but that also meant he might do something stupid and rash. That was a long shot, but it was a chance for me. Our small group was now walking across the fields behind his mansion. My body slid easily against the grass beneath me, while my shorts and legs stained with the dirt beneath it. I attempted to try and get traction from the
