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: Two to TangoALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I walked down the stairs, my fingers wrapped around my phone, and the alpha seal I had to carry for the council meeting. The encounter in Evan's mind still rang in my head. Maybe it was because I was stunned by the sheer audacity that Isaac had to have to believe this would somehow work out, or the slight, genuine fear deep down that I could be fucked if Evan hadn't been so loyal. So... protective."Cole."I stopped, then turned. Sylvia was standing behind me, a small, sheepish smile on her face.I might have been the world's worst husband if I had married this woman because I honestly forgot about her existence.I sucked in a deep breath and pushed my hands into my pockets. "You got out of psychotic hold."She laughed. "I was never mad. There is no one here. You can admit you did it on purpose to get me out of the way so you can fuck that little slut."I watched her, then gave a small shrug. "How did the place treat you? You don't seem any better. Should I ask for

Chapter: ForgottenSELENA'S P.O.V The air felt a little different once I stepped out of the palace. Not exactly in a good way, but not in a bad way either. Of course, I missed Alpha Cole's scent and his essence, but the palace intrigues made it almost choking to live there.I started to walk forward when the gates opened, and one of Alpha Cole's fleet drove out, coming to a slow step close to me.I stopped, my eyes squinting. Alpha Cole? I thought he was going somewhere else. Besides, I left him in bed. He wouldn't have been able to get ready in so short a time.The car door windows immediately rolled down, and Evan slowly poked his head out. "You are not doing a good job at hiding your disappointment."I rolled my eyes, then gave a small laugh. "Where are you going?""Your boyfriend sent me to pick you up," he said, then got out of the car. He towered above me for a few seconds before he walked around and opened the front door for me."Boyfriend?"He chuckled, and I have to say, it looked good on hi

Chapter: Mind LinkALPHA COLE'S P.O.V I watched the play of emotions on Selena's face, and the way her eyes darted between mine and the bracelet. She let out a shaky breath, then gave a smile, but the smile faltered on the edges.She was lying to me. After so long, she was still such a bad liar.What she was lying about, however, I wasn't sure."Right?" I asked again, watching her even closely.She gave a small nod that looked like she didn't want to at all, then wrapped her hand even tighter around the bracelet."You remembered. You remembered the name.""I remember everything about you, Selena." It was the most sincere thing I could have said in this moment.I remembered that name. I always imagined my daughter named Amanda because of it. I also remember what she looked like in the very very rare times she lied to me."Thank you," she whispered, sniffing lightly as she covered the distance to me.I pulled her closer. Her scent felt almost ingrained in my brain at this point, but I needed so much more

Chapter: The BraceletSELENA'S P.O.V My eyes fluttered open, and the first sight that hit me was the slightly tanned skin of a solid, warm chest. A smile immediately lifted my lips, and my eyes looked up.Alpha Cole was still asleep, one hand wrapped around my waist, the other beneath my head. I moved my leg up his hips and tightened my hands around him, stealing a minute longer in his chest before I go to Amanda.I can't lie, I thought about it. What if I asked him to come with me? But Amanda had never seen him and it felt like I might need to prepare her for the fact that her father was still very much alive."You are snuggly," he whispered, his fingers pushing into my hair.I laughed into his skin. "You are warm.""Stop that.""Why?" I asked, my shoulders shaking from the laughter I tried to suppress. It wasn't even that funny. Being around him was just novel. Beautiful."You are going to make me kiss you first thing in the morning with morning breath and.."I leaned up and kissed him first, laughing i

Chapter: The Seal of BetrayalEVAN'S P.O.V A knock came on the door of the assassin settlement exactly five minutes after three a.m. I wasn't asleep. Not when I still had the taste of those burgers on my tongue, and the ghost of Alpha Cole's smile lingering behind my eyes."Who is there?" I asked, grabbing the dagger that used to belong to Selena. The same dagger that had been found in his dead body?Was it a little sick? Maybe. But it was my favourite dagger now."Open up," came a very familiar voice. "I have an offer for you."I pulled the door open, and Isaac came into view. He was rather dressed down, with a simple gray hoodie covering his face. But I knew that mouth and that smirk and the constant energy of evil that radiated from the man."You have ten seconds.""Ten is too short, Evan. Both for what I want to say, and for you to regret not hearing me out further."I raised a brow, my fingers tightening around the dagger. "You are wasting your time, Isaac. You know with whom my loyalty lies."He raised his

Chapter: One More DaySELENA'S P.O.V The doors closed behind us as Alpha Cole walked into the large room, a small breath escaping him."You must be tired," I said, watching as he took off his shirt. "I am. Sleep here, will you?""There was no other option for me."He gave a small smile, then pushed the covers of the bed. "Do you want to change?""Have a shirt for me?""A lot for you."I broke into a laugh, then walked towards his massive closet. I got out of the summer dress and grabbed a large button-down shirt. I put it on, my hair still down, then walked back out.To my surprise, Alpha Cole was already in bed, facing the empty side that I would eventually occupy.I slipped into bed beside him, feeling the shirt ride up my thigh. Alpha Cole's eyes opened, and he smiled as he held the covers open, then covered me up once I was settled in."You smell like me," he said, laughing. He looked light. A little free. I almost pulled him into my chest. "I smell nice."He laughed a little more, then pulled me cl

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

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
