The Alpha's Bodyguard
Selena Stone is the only deviation in her family. The Stone family was born to protect alphas and lunas, never to find a mate. For years, she has served as bodyguard to Alpha Cole Knight, silently loving the one man she can never have.
Until the mating night, when the moon goddess reveals they are fated mates, and Selena is destined to be Luna.
One night of passion gives Selena everything she has ever wanted. But by morning, everything shaters. Alpha Cole has made a deal with Isaac, the most powerful man in the pack. The deal was for Alpha Cole to reject his true mate and take Isaac's daughter, Sylvia, as luna in exchange for the troops needed to keep the pack safe from its enemies.
Selena overhears. Heartbroken but unwilling to let herself be cast aside, she publicly rejects Cole before he can reject her and flees the pack.
Isaac wants her dead. Alpha Cole secretly sends his best friend, Beta Ian, to protect her. But in the chaos of her escape, Ian is killed, and all evidence points to Selena. Alpha Cole is forced to accept that his woman murdered his best friend, and his love for her turns to hatred.
She soon discovers she is pregnant with Cole's daughter. She raises the child in hiding for five years, building a new life as a rogue.
When Alpha Cole orders the destruction of her settlement, Selena is forced back into his world. Neither has stopped loving the other. Neither can forgive what they believe the other has done.
As a political war with Isaac reaches its bloody climax, Selena and Alpha Cole must decide if love can survive five years of hatred, all while navigating through the plots of who are determined to tear them apart.

Chapter: For the PastSELENA'S P.O.V I leaned back against the door as I closed it, my fingers clenched tight. What the hell was wrong with me?So much. I hated him for calling me a liar. I wanted to own him like I told Davina, and somehow, I was still insanely jealous of a woman I had killed with my own hands.I bit down on my lips hard as I recalled the way he had called me his wife down at the reception. Hell, for that one second, I had imagined what it would be like, and then opening my eyes to the reality... I hated it. It drained me to pieces.I could hear his footsteps, and I immediately leaned away and stepped into the hallways, crossing a little so he doesn't realize I stayed there to wait for him and not because I was in pain.Yes. I was in pain. Yes, I hated him. But still. Fucking still.The door opened, and his eyes met mine. His eyes widened, then narrowed, and without a word, he turned and walked away.I immediately followed, ignoring the pain that shot up my side. I am only glad I killed t

Chapter: The Subtle Art of PrideALPHA COLE'S P.O.V "Is everything okay here?" Evan suddenly asked, and I took a step backwards.My eyes dropped to Selena's body, the way she still looked impeccable even in that dress."Alpha."I turned to Evan and blinked. No. No. I can't be doing this right now. At least, not in his presence."Find us a small inn or something so we can clean up before we go on."Evan nodded. "Already did. Your shirt is bloody, and she looks like she fought a wild boar.""I probably did," Selena said, her tone clipped as she walked away, passing by me.Her scent hit me right in the base of my stomach, and I sucked in a sharp breath as my eyes followed her. I resisted the urge to close my eyes and savour the scent, my fists clenching hard."Should we go?" Evan asked, his eyes thin.I cleared my throat, then nodded and walked towards the car. Selena was already sitting in the backseat, her legs and arms crossed, her head tilted upwards.I closed the door after me and leaned back on the seat. I am not

Chapter: An ExhibitionistALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I stepped out of the car, pushing the gun under my shirt, my brows furrowed. I closed the door of the car and glanced back at Selena once.She was still sitting there, looking like she couldn't believe the things I had just said to her.But I meant it. She was infuriating, especially now, stubborn as a fucking mule, and still a pretty ass. Especially in that dress.They weren't exactly mutually exclusive facts, and I have never met someone so contrasting anyway."Alpha," Evan said, walking back to me.I could see the guards I was carrying with me standing in a line in front."Are we outnumbered?""There are at least fifty. We are a total of eight, including you and Selena. I am trying to mindlink some of the assassins, but...""What exactly are they?""Rogues. They have the Moon clan tattoo," he said, falling into step next to me. "Some of them have shifted already and are barely listening so there is that.""Oh well," I said, approaching the front. I hadn't dresse

Chapter: Pretty AssSELENA'S P.O.V His body was warm above me, and I let my hand run down his side to the tiny scar he had right on his hip bone. The same scar that I had tended to but had to stop myself from kissing better."Cole," I whispered, leaning up to kiss him, but despite him being so close, it felt like I couldn't reach him."Please," I whispered as I leaned up again, meeting to feel his lips against mine, to feel his..."You are about to fall off your bed."My brows furrowed. That voice did not belong to Alpha Cole. "What?""I said you are going to fall out of your bed. Alpha Cole isn't in here, and you need to get the hell up."Suddenly, everything vanished. I was no longer in that beautiful sun lit room, and neither was Alpha Cole lying above me. He wasn't naked certainly, and he was...Wait.My eyes flew open, and I jumped out of bed, falling face first on the cold floor. I cursed under my breath as I sat up, my face hurting like a bitch, my hair falling in weird strands all over."Hi."Ev

Chapter: JealousySELENA'S P.O.V I looked around the guards, my chest tightening. I couldn't tell him the truth. I couldn't lie to him. Because the man standing there wasn't the same as the man who I had helped into a bath, who had watched me strip, who had kissed me and laughed about the string of saliva between us.This was the man who had rejected me for Sylvia, and deep down, I knew that if I lied... if I made him think that I was covering something between Alan and I, he wouldn't hesitate."I don't intend to lie," I said, biting down on my lower lip. "I went out of the palace without permission from anyone."For a long second, Alpha Cole just watched me, smoke wafting up from the cigarette he was holding.He didn't even smoke."Go on."I swallowed. "I went to the omega settlement. Sarah, the mother of the man who you almost gave the public execution to, sent me a letter about her niece. Her niece was down with a cold, but since he didn't have any money for treatment, she asked me to see if I coul

Chapter: One LieSELENA'S P.O.V My heart immediately sank to my stomach, and I clamped a hand on Amanda's mouth to stop her from saying a thing. She looked up at me with wide, confused eyes, and I shook my head slowly. Please, no. Don't say a thing. She must have seen the desperation in my eyes because she nodded."What.... what do you mean? Someone you know? Is it... maybe me? We met back then...""Not you," Alpha Cole said, and I could hear the slight tinge of irritation in his voice.There was a short beat of silence before Alpha Cole spoke up again."Fancy seeing you here," he said, and now his voice sounded like it did when he was circling around a prey and was deciding the best way to ruin it."I..." Alan started to say, but Alpha Cole gave a small chuckle."You what? You heard Selena is back in the palace, so you came back too, huh? Lurking in this place nonetheless, like the coward I knew you to be."My brows furrowed. Wait. Did Alpha Cole and Alan know each other before this? Because if he

Chapter: SelfishI should have run. I should have turned and walked away and pretended I heard nothing.Instead, like a fool, I stood there, the tray barely dangling on my fingers, my eyes holding his. It felt like the opulence of this mansion, the presence of Don Luciano, hell, even the bloody tray I was holding, all of it melted into oblivion. Like it was just he and I across a sandvial through to a time where I meant everything to him.I watched the ice take over his eyes again, his jaw tightening.Don Luciano said something, but I could hardly hear it above the rapid beating of my own heart.Slowly, he let his eyes drop from mine. A second was all it took, and I could feel the intensity of his gaze running down my body before he met my eyes again.I sucked in a sharp breath as I turned away, something twisting in my stomach. It felt like an endless push and pull. Like I knew he would make good his threat of revenge, but only... only if his gaze doesn't ruin me first. I walked upstairs absent mi

Chapter: Sober TragediesI held my breath as I dropped the dress I was wearing, then stepped into the bath. Everything in the bathroom was black, and it held a deep, lingering scent of lavender. The same lavender that I had smelled earlier against Leone's chest.I closed my eyes as I leaned back into the bath, willing myself to forget about everything that had happened today. Not just today. Ever since my life was tipped over ten years ago.It wasn't easy when the person who had been the most affected by my cowardice all those years ago was the person who had shielded me today. Not when his scent was engraved in the walls around me, and now, my skin.I sighed, then got out of the bath and dried off my hair. I wore the shirt, then looked around. There wasn't a single mirror in the entire room, and I wondered if that was a choice or...With Leone, everything was a choice.I sat on the edge of the bed, my chest heaving hard. Now that I was here, what was I supposed to do? This was by no means my home, and even a

Chapter: Gold plated Guns and Burning RosesMy gaze flew up to Leone, who was watching my dad now. He was unarmed, but between the three of us, we knew he was just as dangerous either way. "Leone," I said, barely able to get out of the trance.'My wife.' His wife. Fuck."This is my father. I don't know how you know what...""Don Matteo!" Leone said, turning into the still open car fast.Before I could say a word more, my father stilled, his eyes wide, as the round barrel of Leone's gold plated gun rested right at the back of his neck."Now."I froze in place, my eyes leaving Leone to settle on Dad. He never apologizes. Not to me, not to anyone. Not even to mum. Would he really do it now?Despite the strange circumstances, I felt a bit of curiosity. The rain pelted down on all three of us, and Leone took a step further, burying the gun in my father's thinning hair."I am sorry, Ginevra," my dad suddenly said, the words tumbling out of him like he was coughing them out, his eyes focused on the floor. "I am sorry. Please come hom

Chapter: Apologise to My Wife"Where were you?"I stopped by the stairs and slowly turned to my father. He had somehow gotten home before me, but to be fair, I wasn't sure how long I had been outside for."Out." "With Leone?"I swallowed hard, my eyes closing. "What do you think, Dad?"He took a step closer, his brows furrowing. "You were with him?"I could feel my anger heightening, my body slightly shaky."Why don't you answer that question for yourself, Dad? Were you hanging out, dancing under the rain, and stealing loving glances with the boy whom your father tried to kill years ago?"He rolled his eyes, then stepped away. "For goodness' sake, Ginevra. One meeting with him riled you up this much? Did you forget that we already talked about this?""Did we?" I asked, tears filling my eyes again. "Did we really talk about this, Dad?"He said nothing and grabbed a cigarette. "Whatever it is, Don Luciano gave me his word. It's only four days to the wedding. You need to...""You are a fool, Dad."He stopped, then t

Chapter: Did He Not Know?Tears immediately stung the back of my eyes, and I broke eye contact, my chest slightly heaving. My fingers grabbed a handful of my dress, and for a long while, the silence stretched.What does anyone say to that? It is just as he had said ten years ago. I am pretty good at sweeping everything under a carpet in my mind.And it seemed it was exactly what I did. I buried the thoughts of the man who used to look at me like I held galaxies in my eyes being the same man who looked at me like I was the second worst thing after death."What do you want me to say to that?" I managed to say, lifting my eyes to meet his. He was leaning back, a glass of wine dangling elegantly on his fingers, his eyes cold. His eyes held mine, and he let out a small sigh before turning away."It was ten years ago," I said, pushing my hair back. "Forgetting might be the act of the brave by now."He laughed. Not a chuckle. Not a smirk. A deep, dark laugh that spoke more of danger than humor, one that made fear ru

Chapter: Easier to RememberIt took me a few minutes, but I slowly accepted my fate. I was locked in this place with this man, and he looked like he didn't mind at all. I had two options. Stand here and hope that the door would open some time soon, or sit down and hope it opens.I slowly walked to the seat where I was before, my eyes briefly looking up to Leone. He was eating casually, his eyes fixed on his plate. Not even his phone was in sight."Is this your doing?"He looked up at me, then gently poured himself a glass of wine. "You think I would force myself to be in proximity with you?"I bit down on my lips. "You made sure to marry me."He set down his fork. "Because your father begged. There was no other way Brave Hearts would help out a competitor if we weren't secure that hurting us would hurt them too.""So I am leverage? Some sort of hostage to ensure that my father does not stab you in the back?""Yes," he said simply, then grabbed one of the cigarettes laid out on a small tray. He grabbed a lighter

Chapter: Fake ItMy heart gave such a hard, sickening lurch that I had to grab onto the edge of the table to keep myself from falling to the floor.The papers left my numb fingers, and my knees turned to numb, cold stone beneath me."I...""Let me help you understand the gravity of this offence and the evidence we currently have in our hands, Miss Hailey. You were admitted to this school as a scholarship student, and that scholarship has been fully based on consistent grades, that would offer you a full ride scholarship to the Coral Heights private university of sciences. With this evidence in hand, we could consider your entire academic qualifications as a complete fraud, and it would not only mean that we may withdraw the scholarship, we could also press charges for fraud, and have you repay the bulk...""I didn't do it," I blurted out. "I swear, these texts are...." My voice trailed off. "It was Micheal. He and I were..."The officials looked between each other, and the principal leaned forward. "T

Chapter: The AccusationI stood in front of the broken mirror in the bedroom that doubled as... well, everything except for a kitchen, and gently combed my hair. The nail mark was still on my cheek, my hair was pulled out in places, and my eyes were swollen from crying myself to sleep. But I am still Hailey Blake Wright, the same girl who went to school the next day after my mother died. I can do this. I will not falter for a man.I pushed my hair into a simple ponytail and stepped back. Clean jeans, a white top, my bag, perfect.I will not act heartbroken. I will not look at Johannah or Micheal. I will study and come back home. That's it.I turned away and walked out of the house, locking the door behind me.The minute I stepped into school, I knew something was wrong. It seemed like the students who normally paid zero attention to me were all watching me. Like the school was stopping in time around me.I looked around. It wasn't weird for the arts students to have a celebrity around for their showcases, a

Chapter: Naive, but In LoveI could tell you the exact minute that my life started to fall apart. Most people would assume that I, Hailey Blake Wright, would meet my doom in the way of maybe getting my first fail or skipping a class. I, after all, was the very first student in the country to get a straight A result for the prestigious Coral exam, the same exam that earned me a full ride scholarship to Coral Heights; the school for old money students who only needed their surnames to open the same doors that I studied years for. The same exam that ensured that as long as I maintained my grades, I would be on a full ride scholarship to Coral Heights private university of sciences. My life, in a very anticlimatic way, started to fall apart when I let myself foolishly believe that my boyfriend, Micheal Dean, part of the school's hockey team, and youngest son of one of the biggest names in the fashion industry, would look at me and actually, really, love me. A little naive for the girl who is only I own for being a
