Luna's Choice
For two years, Maryanne Bullyvan gave everything to the man she loved.
She abandoned her powerful family, crossed continents, and endured endless humiliation for Thomas Donovan, believing that one day he would finally choose her. Instead, she was treated like an unwanted burden.
Broken but no longer willing to beg for love, Maryanne returns home to England, where the truth she ran from finally catches up with her. She isn't just the daughter of one of Europe's wealthiest families—she is the future heiress of an imperial werewolf bloodline. And waiting for her is the one man fate had chosen all along.
Calhoun Maximus, the cold and powerful Alpha of the Guardian Pack, never expected his destined mate to arrive carrying the scars of another man. Patient where others would be possessive, he gives Maryanne time to heal, determined to earn the love she no longer believes she can give.
But Thomas isn't ready to let her go.
The moment he discovers Maryanne's true identity, the woman he discarded becomes the one thing he must possess. His obsession ignites a ruthless battle between powerful packs, ancient bloodlines, and billionaire dynasties, forcing Maryanne to choose between the man she once loved and the mate willing to risk everything for her.
In a world where love can start wars and betrayal wears a familiar face, one choice will determine the fate of them all.

Chapter: Chapter 17Maryanne froze mid-step, her breath catching in her throat. Her eyes trailed downward, taking in her disheveled state. She was, to put it bluntly, half-naked. Memories of the previous night flooded back. She had woken up drenched in sweat, the oppressive heat of the night forcing her to shed her maxi dress. Now, she stood in nothing but a half-tank top and shorts, her skin prickling with a mix of embarrassment and vulnerability.The sound of footsteps echoing down the corridor snapped her out of her thoughts. Panic surged through her veins. Without a second thought, she darted toward Calhoun’s bed, leaping onto it and yanking the duvet up to her chin, her heart pounding like a drum.Calhoun's lips curved into a mischievous grin, and he let out a low chuckle, the sound rumbling through the room like distant thunder. He sauntered over to the door, closing it with a soft click before turning back to face her.“An, my love,” he drawled, his voice dripping with playful teasing. “What’s t

Chapter: Chapter SixteenTwo weeks later.Maryanne was so excited about her next lesson. She assumed that Alpha Avraz's story was interesting, but the next Alpha's story was more. She was excited to learn all about Calhoun and his history.Calhoun would always stand on the balcony and watch her train. He could see how well she was doing and it made him happy. Most times, he would leave the other things he had to do just to watch her train in the backyard."Lady An, you are doing a great job! I'm so proud of you!""Thank you lady Itzel."She finished her training for the day and returned to her room. Tanya was there to serve her dinner."Where is Calhoun?" She asked."Alpha Calhoun has gone out to fight," Tanya said. "He said I should refrain from telling you so that you would not get worried."She nodded. "Thank you, Tanya."Tanya nodded. "Anything else you might need, lady An?"Maryanne was almost tired. She had been called An by everyone else just because Calhoun called her by that name. Did she need anythi

Chapter: Chapter FifteenWas it surprising that her mother had praised Calhoun for giving her such a luxurious room? Yes. Yes, it was very surprising. Sally's definition of luxurious wasn't like this. Maryanne didn't know how she felt about it."Mom!" Maryanne demanded. "How can you even say that?""Oh darling, he is taking good care of you!" Sally said softly. "Come on, show me around."She sighed. They started their journey around the castle, she was telling her mother stories about what she had been taught by her teachers.Sally found it interesting. "Oh, dear! Even I don't know about the history of your father's pack.""Really Mom?" Maryanne asked in surprise. "I never knew that.""Well, now you know." Sally said, chuckling lightly. "oh but don't tell your father, he would flip."Maryanne smirked. "I knew there was a catch. Oh but Mom, I can't wait for this month to pass. I want to familiarize myself with the company.""At least I can have some fun things to do before I get married and start a family."Sa

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen "There she is," Calhoun announced as she walked into the dining room. "Looking so comfortable."Maryanne glared at him until she sat down. The only space that was left for her was beside him and it's not like she would have sat down elsewhere, to begin with."Princess," Michael called.Maryanne scoffed at him. "you called me last night and didn't dare to inform me of your visit?""Well... In my defense, I think I did tell you that I'd speak to you this morning. Yes or yes?""Liar!" Maryanne whined. "You all are liars. Hi Mom." She smiled.Sally smiled shyly. "Hello, darling." Sometimes Maryanne wondered if that was how she was supposed to behave if she became the Luna. Was she supposed to smile so shyly all the time and blush at every kind word spoken to her?"Well, maybe I should just go and clean up a bit more." She said, getting up again. Calhoun placed his hand on her arm. She glanced at him."No need, sit." He said. "It's just breakfast and it's with family.""My teachers said-"

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen"Let me go and have my bath." He said. He got up and winced slightly."Let me help you." Maryanne said. "let me help you to your chamber."Calhoun was skeptical about having her in his chamber because she was literally in his chamber. He didn't know how she would feel about it."An, I will be fine. If I can't endure things like this, do you think I will be the Alpha?" He asked.Maryanne understood that most times than not, the male ego would never allow them to accept help from their women. Well, she wasn't his woman yet.She nodded and allowed him to leave. Calhoun managed to leave her room and once he did, he straightened up and walked properly. He had found a way to get to her.Maryanne seemed tough but she was caring and he loved that. If she would always welcome him whenever he returned from war, he would love to war every day.

Not as if she was searching for him, but she expected to at least see him after having her training.Tanya was by her side immediately. She held her hand and led her into her room."What shall you like to eat now?""Don't speak as if we are in the time of Alpha Avraz and his wife," Maryanne said.Tanya gasped. "Oh, you have begun your training. I wish I was there to send you off! Alpha Calhoun just pushed me into the kitchen because he wanted to send you off by himself."Maryanne was surprised at the revelation. "He did that?"Tanya nodded.Seeing Tanya nod, she remembered that Hamilton said she had to use her words and she was tempted to tell Tanya the same thing."I think I will like to eat now. Could you take it up to my room for me?" Maryanne asked.Tanya shook her head softly. "I'm afraid ma'am, but I overheard the beta and gamma tell Alpha Cal

Alpha Logan's Mistress
They called me "slave, whore, mistake."
But he called me HIS.
By day, I scrubbed floors while they laughed. By night, he took me to his bed and made me forget the cold. I thought that was love. I thought that being his mistress was better than being nothing.
Until I begged him, “Clear my name, Logan. Let them know I’m not just the woman you touch in the dark.”
He looked at me, and his jaw tightened, his eyes colder than I’d ever seen. “You knew what this was.”
“Then make it more,” I whispered. “I need it to be more.”
But he walked away, and broke me further.

Reina Vale was accused of murdering her parents, and her life became worse than that of a slave, with even the loveliest servant spitting in her face.
Fate plays a big move by sending her to the Northern pack where she meets Alpha Logan Draven. From being a slave, to being his midnight mistress, Reina has never been more.
When Logan chooses his arranged Luna over her, she escapes his castle in hopes to create a better life for herself. But with Logan's seed growing in her belly, and her brothers suddenly wanting her back, Reina has to choose between being a prisoner, and being Alpha Logan's Queen.

Chapter: Epilogue 2: Cullen and Mina’s LegacyCULLENThe sun was just beginning to dip behind the northern cliffs, spilling golden light over the castle and the surrounding forests. The air smelled faintly of pine and earth, and the distant howls of wolves echoed softly, a reminder of the Northern Pack’s enduring strength. I stood at the edge of the cliff, feeling the wind tug at my coat, and watched the castle in the distance, alive with movement and warmth. Peace had settled over the pack, a peace that had been hard-won through battles, betrayals, and sacrifices.Beside me, Mina held my hand, her fingers warm and steady against mine. She had always been my anchor, the quiet strength that had held me together when everything else felt uncertain. I remembered vividly the night she had confessed her truth, her voice barely above a whisper, trembling with vulnerability. “Cullen, I am the daughter of that wealthy family on the northern cliff. I left it all, everything, to be near you. I became a servant in the castle because I could

Chapter: Epilogue: The Heir of the Northern PackREINAThe sun rose gently over the Northern Pack’s castle, casting a warm golden glow across the courtyards and towers. Birds sang in the trees, their calls mingling with the soft rustle of leaves, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity, the air carried no tension, no lingering shadows of betrayal or fear. The castle felt alive, breathing with the energy of a pack finally at peace.I stood on the balcony, cradling my son in my arms. He was no longer the tiny, fragile infant who had stirred fear in my heart at every small sound. He was ten years old now, tall for his age, with sharp golden eyes that mirrored his father’s intensity and a calm, measured presence that hinted at his inner strength. His wolf aura pulsed gently around him, a clear sign of his growing abilities.“Look at you,” I whispered, brushing a strand of hair from his face. “Ten years old and already learning so much. I hope you understand, little one, that every lesson is meant to guide you, to help you p

Chapter: Chapter 157: The Fall of SeraphinaREINAThe morning after Seraphina drank from the poisoned cup dawned unusually quiet. The castle seemed to hold its breath, the usual sounds of servants bustling and torches crackling replaced by an eerie stillness. I held my son close, feeling the gentle rise and fall of his chest, and let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding.Logan had insisted on remaining with me through the night, pacing the nursery floor while keeping one hand on the cradle and the other occasionally brushing my hair from my forehead. His eyes, dark and intense, never left me, as if he were measuring the depth of my exhaustion and worry with every heartbeat.Moon rose whispered, “Stay vigilant, Reina. The storm is over, but the shadows remain.”I nodded slightly, even though he could not see my expression. My senses were sharpened, alert to the slightest disturbance. The poison had been taken care of, the threat neutralized—but Seraphina had underestimated the loyalty and cleverness of those around her.

Chapter: Chapter 156: The SwapREINAThe morning air was thick with sunlight, but I felt no warmth as I sat in the nursery, cradling my son in my arms. His soft breathing, the little rises and falls of his tiny chest, should have brought me peace, yet a gnawing unease settled in my stomach. Something about the day felt wrong, as though shadows were moving just beyond the edges of my vision.I glanced toward the door when a soft knock interrupted my thoughts.“Reina? May I come in?” The voice was timid, almost fearful, yet there was urgency beneath the softness.I looked up to see one of Seraphina’s maids standing at the threshold. Her eyes were wide, darting nervously around the room as if she feared someone was listening. My stomach tightened.“Yes,” I said, keeping my voice calm but firm. “Come in.”She stepped hesitantly into the room, clutching a folded cloth against her chest. “I… I need to tell you something,” she whispered, lowering her voice until it was barely audible. “Something that could—could harm your

Chapter: Chapter 155: The Poisoned SmileSERAPHINAThe night was still, almost unnaturally so, as I walked through the quiet corridors of the castle, my heels clicking softly against the polished stone floor. The light of the torches flickered, casting long, uncertain shadows, but I was not afraid. Fear had no place here. It was the naive wolves like Reina and Logan who trembled when the world shifted beneath their feet. I, on the other hand, moved with purpose, with precision. Every step I took, every breath I drew, was a calculated move toward victory.I smiled softly, tilting my head as I imagined the little family upstairs. Reina, the new mother, exhausted but vigilant. Logan, doting over their son, already wrapped in the soft blankets she had sewn with care. And their son—oh, the beautiful, innocent child who would be the key to everything I intended. He was so small, so vulnerable. Yet even now, my mind ran ahead, planning the moment he would change everything, without them suspecting a thing.I paused near the kitchen

Chapter: Chapter 154: Trust and ShadowsREINAThe morning sunlight poured through the tall windows of the castle, bathing the chamber in a soft, golden glow. It was beautiful, but I could not bring myself to feel anything but a wary caution as I moved across the room, cradling my son close to my chest. He squirmed slightly, fussing, his tiny fingers curling against my blouse as if he could sense my unease.“Shh, it’s alright, my little one,” I whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to his temple. “Mama’s here. Mama’s not going anywhere.”The castle felt unnervingly quiet today. Even the usual hum of servants bustling about seemed muted, subdued. I suspected Seraphina had orchestrated it somehow, though she appeared in the hallways smiling sweetly whenever I passed her. Her smiles were dangerous—too perfect, too deliberate.I gently laid my son in the soft cradle near the window and stepped back to watch him. He had begun noticing the world around him, his eyes tracking the flutter of a bird outside, his tiny hands reaching towar

Mr CEO Is My Baby Daddy
His body pressed me against the wall, his breath hot against my ear.
“You would make a good little wife,” Damon whispered, his fingers tilting my chin until I had no choice but to meet his piercing gaze. “And maybe you should...”
“I would never marry a man like you!” I spoke very firmly. And yet… my heart betrayed me, racing like it remembered a night I swore I’d buried forever.

The first night I sold myself, it was supposed to be the last. My father had just died, the debts were drowning me, and desperation drove me into a stranger’s bed. One night. One mistake. One child I never planned for.
Three years later, I’ve clawed my way through college, fought to survive, and built a life for my daughter. Now I work for Damon Blackwell—the most ruthless billionaire in America. Cold, arrogant, and addictively dangerous.
Then he corners me with a shocking proposition: to be his pretend wife for a year. But how could I? How could I offer my daughter a temporary fatherhood?
But Damon doesn't care. And when he meets my little girl, everything shifts. Her allergies, her quirks, her smile… everything about her was so similar to him.
And suddenly, I’m staring at the man I fear and desire most, wondering... What are the odds that this man standing before me is the same man from three years ago?

Damon was somewhere with Blake and Ivy and I were sitting at one of the tables, talking.“Girl, that kiss was…are you sure you both are faking this marriage cause…even I felt the heat of that kiss.” Ivy whispered, laughing crazily.I turned to glare at her.“Thanks, Ivy.

Yes, I guess I looked beautiful but I wasn't sharing her enthusiasm at all.“It's a fake wedding, Ivy. It doesn't matter.” I said. The same phrase I've been repeating to myself since I woke up this morning and began preparing for the wedding.It's only been a week since Damon announced our engagement and now we were getting married in the garden of their mansion.His father thought we were being reckless and it was too fast. He even made a side comment that I might be pregnant again, and how it wasn't a surprise considering my past.It was obvious he was insinuating that I was pinning someone else's child on Damon and that I was stringing Damon along.I still remember Damon's words, how he defended me yet again.“Do you really think any woman could deceive your son, Damon Blackwell?”His m

I thought about staying in his arms forever.I finally pulled away worried about coming off as one of the other desperate women too eager to be with him.I wiped my cheeks and laughed awkwardly. My eyes landed on his shirt and I grimaced.“I'm sorry, I have no idea what came over me. I completely ruined your shirt.” I said, my heart in my throat.He glanced down at his shirt, and shrugged.“It's fine. I have several of the same shirt.” He replied, then he added.“Just don't start crying again. It was really awkward for me.” He murmured and looked away.I laughed but it was empty.

The Proxy Contract
“Don’t you ever resist me again,” he breathed, his words brushing my skin like fire. One hand held my wrists captive above my head; the other traced the line of my throat, caging me against the wall. I looked up at him. My tormentor, my weakness, and the man I craved like sin itself.

A fire stole her childhood. A contract stole her freedom.
Now, a man dressed in a suit that costs more than her life is about to steal her heart.
And possibly destroy what’s left of her soul.
Evie remembers nothing before the fire, only the smell of smoke, the sound of screams, and a name she can’t forget. Years later, her life is a cycle of debt, slavery, and forced silence.
She works herself to the bone while living in the shadow of her perfect cousin, never realizing she was born into a secret far darker than her life.
Until the night she’s traded — like property to repay an old family debt — to a man no one dares to speak about. A man whose reputation bleeds power, cruelty, and blood. But instead of chains, he offers her a deal.
Marry him, obey him. And never ask questions.
Just business.
But every time he touches her, the line between fear and longing blurs. His presence unearths flashes of her past, and memories that burn her alive.
Because her husband is not who he seems.
And the fire that destroyed her life didn’t happen by accident.
As their marriage turns into a war of control and desire, Evie finds herself caught between the man who owns her and the truth that could set her free.
But freedom comes with a great price.
And love is the priciest thing she's ever had.

She was carrying a silver tray with a porcelain teapot, a single cup, and a stack of printed morning broadsheets. Her usually unshakeable, maternal composure was frayed around the edges; her eyes were wide, darting anxiously toward me as she set the tray on the bedside table."Good morning, madam," she said, her voice tight, lacking its usual smooth rhythm.

Chapter: 9EVIEThe interior of the Maybach was an armored vault of absolute, suffocating silence.I sat pressed against the cold leather of the door, my hands wrapped so tightly around my velvet clutch that the fabric groaned under the pressure. Outside the tinted glass, the neon lights of Manhattan blurred into jagged streaks of static, but all I could see was the memory of Julian’s face hitting the mahogany bar. The sound of shattering crystal still echoed in my ears like a physical alarm.Beside me, Gammon was a statue carved from shadow. He hadn't looked at me once since he dragged me out of the restaurant. His large hands rested flat against his thighs, his knuckles still white, his chest heaving in slow, controlled expansions that felt less like breathing and more like a predator suppressing the urge to tear something apart."You didn't have to do that," I whispered, the words scraping painfully against my raw throat.He didn't move.

Chapter: 8GAMMONI stood at the base of the floating glass staircase, my hand resting flat against the cold steel railing, watching her descend. The fabric shifted with every step she took, the thousands of microscopic glass beads caught the dim, recessed spotlights above and fractured the light into sharp, icy splinters. She looked like a winter night carved into a weapon. Her dark hair had been pulled back into a sleek, elegant twist, exposing the pale, fragile line of her throat and the faint, fading yellowish shadow of a bruise near her collarbone.My chest tightened, a sudden, heavy pressure arresting my lungs. For a split second, the glittering glass tower vanished, replaced by the suffocating scent of ash and the memory of a little girl with a fierce, gap-toothed smile who used to hold my hand in the dark."Get a grip, Blackwell," the voice inside my head snarled, colder than the marble beneath my feet. "She is a Fulham trade. A tool for retribution. Nothing more.""You're staring," she

It looked expensive.I sat on the edge of the plush mattress, my knees pulled tightly to my chest, glaring at the fabric as if it might spring to life and choke me. A sharp knock rattled the heavy oak door before it swung open, revealing Margaret and two sharply dressed women holding leather cases that could only contain high-end cosmetics and hair styling tools."Good morning, madam," Margaret said, her voice a soothing balm that didn't quite match the rigid, militaristic precision of the women behind her. "Mr. Blackwell has requested that the glam team prepare you for this evening’s dinner. We have exactly three hours before the car arrives."I didn’t move.

The contract, the violent storm in my head, and him.I pressed the back of my hand against my lips, my skin tingling. They still felt slightly swollen, vibrating as a result of the kiss that had felt less like an assault and more like an unexpected lifeline. "You let him kiss you," I scolded myself fiercely, my cheeks burning with an intense, sudden heat that made my breath hitch. "You let a man who locked you up, a man who threatened an innocent child’s life, touch you like that. And worse... you leaned into it."A soft, rhythmic chime cut through my spiral of self-loathing.My eyes darted toward the bedside table.

My hands, usually so steady they could sign away billions without a single tremor, were vibrating with a dangerous, electric current.Below me on the mattress, Evie lay perfectly still. Her eyelids fluttered, the chaotic trembling that had racked her fragile frame just moments ago slowing into a heavy exhaustion. The scream that had cut through my soul was gone, swallowed entirely by the bruising force of my mouth against hers."What the hell did I just do?"
