Chapter: Chapter 6Sunny's POVI turned away from Rainey, shoving my hands deeper into my hoodie pockets. The dismissive "that sucks for you" had rolled off my tongue automatically, and I meant it. I had my own shit to deal with without taking on some random girl's problems."Wait!" she called out, jogging to catch up with me. "Please, just listen to me for one second."I kept walking, not bothering to slow down. This was exactly the kind of complication I'd moved to Beacon Hills to avoid. "I already listened. Wasn't impressed."She stepped right in front of me, forcing me to stop. I could hear her heartbeat racing, smell the fear and desperation radiating off her skin. Three months ago, I never would have noticed those things. Now they hit me whether I wanted them to or not, another reminder of how much my life had changed."I think you're the only one who can help me. I know this sounds pathetic, but could you please help me?"I let my mouth curve into a smirk. She wasn't wrong about sounding pathetic

Chapter: Chapter 5Rainey's POVSunny slowly released his grip on Devon's throat. Devon immediately scrambled away, gasping and clutching his neck, his eyes wide with terror as he stared at Sunny.Devon stumbled backward, practically tripping over his own feet to get away from Sunny. "What the hell—" he started to say, but his voice cracked.Brad was still cradling his twisted wrist, whimpering softly. He leaned close to Sarah's ear and whispered something urgently.Sarah looked shaken, but her pride wouldn't let her back down completely. She fixed her cold gaze on Sunny, her voice tight with barely controlled anger. "Sunny Hayes, right? Fine. You win this round. But I'll remember this."Sunny casually tossed his pen back onto my desk, the movement carrying a careless arrogance that seemed to radiate from every line of his body.Before leaving, Sarah shot me a venomous glare. "Don't think this is over, bitch," she hissed. "Meet me tonight after school. Coffee shop, behind the building on the forest trai

Chapter: Chapter 4Rainey's POVThe bell rang.Amy was still at her desk, slowly packing up her calculator and materials. She kept glancing toward the front of the classroom where Sarah was taking her sweet time organizing her designer bag."Sorry, Rainey," Amy whispered, her voice heavy with guilt. "I wanted to give you a tissue earlier when your forehead was bleeding, but Sarah's family... they have too much power around here."She shot another nervous look toward Sarah, who was now applying lipgloss with practiced precision. "None of us can afford to cross her."I stuffed my calculus textbook into my battered backpack. "It's fine. Really. You cna stay away from me and stay out of this."Amy bit her lip, looking like she wanted to say more, but then started talking quickly, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Look, maybe if you just... kept some distance from Benjamin in study group? I mean, all the girls Sarah's targeted before were ones who got too close to him. She and Benjamin have been family frie

Chapter: Chapter 3Rainey's POVShit, shit, shit.I sprinted through the morning drizzle, my sneakers splashing through puddles as I raced toward the math building. Working until midnight at the café had seemed worth it when I counted my tips, but now, standing outside Mr. Jackson's AP Calculus classroom at 8:47 AM, I was seriously regretting that extra three hours.Through the window, I could see everyone already seated, notebooks open, pencils moving. My stomach dropped when I spotted Sarah's perfectly styled blonde hair in the third row, Brad's bulky frame right beside her. Of course they were in this class.I slipped through the door as quietly as possible, hoping Mr. Jackson wouldn't notice. No such luck."Nice of you to join us, Miss Ellis," he said without looking up from the whiteboard. "We're just reviewing yesterday's exam results."Every head turned toward me, and I felt my cheeks burn. I hurried to an empty seat next to Amy, my wet hair dripping onto my notebook as I tried to make myself inv

Chapter: Chapter 2Rainey's POVI tried to stand up straight, to pull my coffee-stained sweater back into place, but my hands were shaking too badly. The adrenaline was wearing off, and all I felt was exhausted and dirty and grateful and terrified all at once."Thank you," I started to say, but he was already walking past me like I didn't exist."Wait." The word came out sharper than I intended.He stopped and turned, and I got my first real look at him. Sandy brown hair fell across his forehead beneath the brim of his cap, and his eyes were this impossible shade of green-gold that seemed to catch the filtered sunlight. There was something predatory about the way he looked at me, like he was seeing more than I wanted him to see."Thank you," I said again, softer this time."Just 'thank you'?" He took another drag from his cigarette, and the corner of his mouth curved into something that might have been a smile. "That's it? No reward for saving your ass?"The way he said it made my skin crawl. I backed u

Chapter: Chapter 1Rainey's POVThe late afternoon sun filtered through the dense pine branches, casting shadows across my face as I clutched my worn backpack tighter. I should have known better than to walk this way after school."Rainey!"Fuck. Sarah's voice cut through the forest air like a knife. I kept walking, pretending I didn't hear her, but my heart was already hammering against my ribs. Please just leave me alone. Please just this once—"I know you can hear me, you little bitch!"Her heels clicked against the damp ground as she caught up, Brad Miller and Devon Clark flanking her like loyal attack dogs. I stopped walking because what was the point? Running would just make it worse. It always made it worse."Turn around." Sarah's voice was sickeningly sweet.I turned, keeping my eyes on the ground. The forest floor was littered with pine needles and last year's leaves, all soggy from the constant Oregon drizzle. Much safer to look at than Sarah's perfectly manicured face."Look at me when I'm ta

After One Night with the Alpha
One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Chapter: Chapter 5Elle's POVA month passed since that night with Brad Rayne. I'd thrown myself into work, taking on extra tasks and staying late, anything to keep my mind occupied.My body felt different lately. I was constantly tired, occasionally nauseous in the mornings.Today was particularly bad. The fluorescent lights in the office seemed too bright, drilling into my skull. The usual morning coffee I'd grabbed made my stomach turn."West! The report needs to be completed by noon." Mrs. Jenkins dropped another folder onto my already towering pile. She frowned slightly as she looked at me. "You don't look well. Are you feeling alright?"I nodded mechanically. "Yes, Mrs. Jenkins. Just tired."As she walked away, I noticed something strange. Two werewolf executives who had come down to HR for some paperwork were staring at me from across the room, their nostrils flaring slightly. One of them actually took a step toward me before his colleague pulled him back, whispering something urgently.The room

Chapter: Chapter 4Elle's POVI stood outside my family's small apartment in the human district, my hand frozen on the doorknob. The shouting from inside made my stomach clench. I recognized Grandma Grace's shrill voice cutting through the thin walls, followed by what sounded like something breaking. Part of me wanted to turn around and walk away, find somewhere else to spend the night. But I'd come all this way to check on my foster mother.Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open.The scene that greeted me made my blood run cold. Susan, my foster mom, was on her knees in the living room, her head bowed as Grandma Grace towered over her, red-faced with fury. Broken ceramic pieces were scattered around Susan's knees."You call this clean?" Grandma Grace screamed, throwing more shards of what used to be a dinner plate at Susan's face. "Look at these spots! Are you blind as well as stupid?"Susan didn't look up, didn't defend herself. I could see a purplish bruise forming on her forehead. How long had

Chapter: Chapter 3Elle's POV"Mrs. Miller..." I started, trying to sound normal despite everything that had just happened."Elle." Her voice cut through the line, sharp and cold.My stomach dropped."Jason has been selected by the Turing family. Do you understand what that means?" She didn't wait for my answer. "A werewolf family has chosen him to work directly under their protection. This is the opportunity of a lifetime."I leaned against the elevator wall, my legs suddenly weak."That's... wonderful for him," I managed to say, though my heart was breaking all over again. "I'm happy for Jason.""Are you?" Her tone was accusatory. "Because this is exactly what our family has been working toward. Surely you didn't think someone from the human community—especially from the edge district—would be suitable for my son long-term?"The elevator doors opened, but I couldn't move. A couple waiting to enter glanced at me impatiently, and I stumbled out into the lobby, finding a quiet corner near a decorative pl

Chapter: Chapter 2Elle's POVI remained curled against the wall, unable to stop the tears streaming down my face. The amber-eyed stranger—a werewolf, apparently—had moved to the other side of the room and was making a phone call, his back to me as though offering a semblance of privacy."Alex, I need you to bring something to my suite immediately," he said, his voice low and commanding. "A blank check from my personal account. And bring a bottle of whiskey." He paused, listening. "No, I don't care what meeting you're in. This is priority."He ended the call and turned back toward me, his expression unreadable. I noticed him studying me with those penetrating amber eyes—a telltale sign of werewolf heritage that I should have recognized immediately if I hadn't been so drunk and disoriented."The tears won't change anything," he said flatly. "What's done is done."I wiped my face angrily. "Easy for you to say. You're not the one who just..." I couldn't even finish the sentence.My phone buzzed with a text

Chapter: Chapter 1Elle's POVI can't believe I'm really going to sleep with my boyfriend tonight.That was all I could think as I stumbled into my hotel room, feeling the champagne bubbling through my veins. The annual Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival was in full swing downstairs, and I'd had more to drink than I'd planned—liquid courage for what I was about to do.The hotel was absolute chaos tonight. Humans and werewolves mingling freely during the one night a year when segregation rules were relaxed and curfews lifted. I'd managed to book one of the few rooms available."Room 716, human section," the harried human receptionist had said, sliding me the key card. Poor thing looked overwhelmed by the festival chaos.The room smelled strange—a heady, spicy scent that made my head swim even more. The furnishings were luxurious, much nicer than I'd expected for what I'd paid. Must be my lucky night, I thought hazily.I sent Jason a text with my room number and began preparing. After two years of dating, I

Chapter: Chapter 6Natasha's POVThe heat consumed me from within.I'd thought I understood pain—the ache of hauling nets in freezing rain, the sting of rope burn on raw palms, the exhaustion of sixteen-hour days at sea. But this was different. This was fire crawling through my veins, burning away reason, leaving only desperate, animal need.I curled tighter on the moldy straw, trying to make myself small. Trying to disappear. The rough linen shirt scraped against skin that felt raw and oversensitive, every fiber a brand. My breath came in short, sharp gasps that echoed off the damp stone walls.What's happening to me?The binding cloth around my chest—the one Davelina had wrapped so carefully on the ship—suddenly felt like iron bands crushing my ribs. I clawed at it with shaking fingers, desperate for air, for relief, for anything.The knots finally gave way.Cool air touched my bare skin, and I nearly sobbed with relief. But the reprieve lasted only seconds before a new kind of awareness flooded throu

Chapter: Chapter 5Natasha's POVAn older woman in severe black—clearly the head servant—was circling my sister like a merchant inspecting livestock. "The water's too hot," she snapped at someone. "Add cold. We can't scald her skin before presentation."I forced myself to move, to walk forward on numb legs, to pour the buckets into the bath as ordered. My eyes stayed down, but I was close enough now to see the tremors running through Davelina's body, the way her hands clenched at her sides."You. Yes, fisher boy." The older woman's voice cut through my thoughts. "Come here."I approached slowly, keeping my cap low, praying she wouldn't look too close.She grabbed my chin with surprising strength and jerked my face up, her pale eyes boring into mine. They were sharp, calculating, missing nothing. Her gaze traveled over my features."For a fisherman's son, your hands are remarkably uncalloused," she said softly. "And your face is... very clean. Very pretty. Too pretty for a boy who's supposedly hauled net

Chapter: Chapter 4Natasha's POVThe ship's violent shudder woke me. My head throbbed where it had struck the wooden wall during the night, and for a moment I couldn't remember where I was. Then the stench hit—vomit, unwashed bodies.My hands flew to my chest. The binding cloth was still there, tight enough to make breathing uncomfortable. Thank God."Lina," I rasped, shaking the warm body beside me. "Wake up. The ship's stopped."Davelina stirred, her face pale in the dim light filtering through cracks in the hull. Around us, other prisoners were beginning to move, groaning and crying out. A child somewhere was sobbing for his mother.The hatch above exploded open. Blinding grey light poured in, and a voice like grinding stone bellowed: "On your feet! Anyone still down in ten seconds gets the whip!"Bodies scrambled upward. I helped Davelina stand, her legs shaking beneath her. We climbed the ladder with the others, pushed from behind by desperate hands, pulled forward by terror.The deck was chaos. Cr

Chapter: Chapter 3Natasha's POVMy cap flew off, short curls whipping around my face as I stumbled over rocks. But the fog swallowed everything in seconds, reducing visibility to mere feet. I couldn't see the shore, couldn't see the path—Davelina's hand found mine in the whiteness, fingers locking around my wrist with desperate strength.That's when I heard it.A sound like nothing in nature. Part growl, part breathing, but underneath, something that might have been words in a language no human throat should produce. Heavy footsteps. Multiple sets. Moving with purpose."Oh God," Davelina whispered. "Thomas was right—"The black ship materialized like a phantom made solid.Exactly as Thomas had described—massive, easily three times the size of any fishing vessel, with a hull like charred wood. No sails. No oars. No visible crew. But I could feel eyes watching.Shapes emerged from the fog.My bladder almost let go.They were huge—easily seven feet tall—with bodies caught between human and beast. Thick f

Chapter: Chapter 2Natasha's POV"The women they take there," Thomas continued, voice heavy, "they use them as playthings. As sex slaves. The creatures—they're not just werewolves. Bigger, stronger, and their appetites..." He shook his head. "Most women don't survive more than a night. Maybe two if they're unlucky."Beside me, Davelina had gone very still. Her fingers dug into my arm."That's barbaric," someone muttered."That's reality," Thomas said flatly. "My father said you could hear the screaming from ships that got too close. Women screaming through the night. By morning, silence."I wanted to laugh it off, but the words stuck. Because Thomas didn't look like he was telling a campfire tale. He looked like he was delivering a warning.Old William nodded slowly. "My grandfather said those creatures weren't always monsters. Centuries ago—four, maybe five hundred years—they lived peacefully. Some say they even helped ships in distress.""What changed?" someone asked.Thomas stared into the fire. "Hun

Chapter: Chapter 1Natasha's POVWestbay, Southwest England."Natasha Hastings, get down from that mast this instant!"My mother's voice carried clear across the harbor, shrill with that particular mix of exasperation and resignation I'd been hearing my whole life. I pretended not to hear, shinning up the last few feet to check the rigging. The view from up here was worth the lecture—all of Westbay spread below, the autumn sun turning the sea to molten copper."Let the girl be, Mary," Father called from the deck. "She's got a better eye for loose lines than half my crew.""She's not a girl, she's a menace!" Mother stood on the dock, arms crossed, face red. "Look at her—dressed like a ragamuffin boy, climbing around like some monkey. She's seventeen, John! Seventeen! She should be learning to keep house, not—whatever this is!"I slid down with practiced ease, landing soft on the deck. My worn sailor's trousers were tar-stained, my loose shirt two sizes too big—borrowed from my older brothers before they'
