THE ALPHA'S SECOND CHOICE
I watched my mate die.
His head had been severed, and had rolled across blood stained ground while my family was burnt alive.
So why is he standing before me?
---------
Five years ago, Xaviera lost everything in one night.
Her family.
Her pack.
Her rank.
And the man the Moon Goddess had chosen for her.
She fled to the Crescent Moon Pack with nothing but nightmares, determined never to be seen again. Fate, however, had other plans.
The Moon Goddess gives her a second chance.
Ryker Conri Aragon.
The formidable Alpha every she-wolf dreams of.
A man who wants nothing to do with her.
Cold. Proud. Unyielding.
He accepts the bond only because duty demands it, making it painfully clear that she will never be the Luna he wanted.
Just when Xaviera decides to stop chasing a place in his heart, the impossible happens.
The mate she watched die returns...
Alive.
He claims she was his.
As war engulfs the southern werewolf packs, betrayal festers within Crescent Moon itself, and ancient enemies close in, Xaviera finds herself caught between the ghost of the life she lost and the Alpha who is slowly becoming the only place she's ever felt safe.
But not every mate is what he seems.
And not every second chance is a blessing.
Some are the beginning of a war.

Chapter: 64 : THE TALKXAVIERAThe only normal thing the past week was Eileen teaching me about the Luna dos and Luna do nots. Allyfest this.Allyfest that. Which families held influence.Which Alphas preferred formal greetings.Where I should stand.When I should speak.When I absolutely should not.Apparently, there was an entire handbook for being the Luna of one of the most powerful packs in the Southern realms.Growing up, I used to think if an Alpha ever walked into the Red court with an intent of marriage, it would be to claim either Zephyr or Georgia. Not me. Zephyr had the grace, confidence and elegance expected of an Alpha's daughter.Georgia had always been this little princess. I had been Father's finest warrior, content and happy with a sword in my hand.I told myself that if I never found a mate, I'd become one of Red Moon's Delta Generals.If I did find one, I'd probably serve as a warrior Gamma in my mate's pack.That had always been enough for me.Never in my wildest dreams had I imagi

Chapter: 63: MARSHALL'S PARTYALPHA RYKERI knew it would always happen.From the moment she arrived at the ball that night in that perfect dress, to when they disappeared and returned to the dance floor together...I knew he wanted her.Phoebe might have hinted at it, but I hadn't wanted to believe her.But it was true.He wanted her first.Had the Moon Goddess not intervened with her twisted sense of humour, he probably would have staked his claim on her that very night.Fate chose me.Did he resent me for having the upper hand?Probably.Would she have been with him if it weren't for this bond?Probably.Did she prefer his company to mine?I hated the answer to that one.Those thoughts infuriated me more than the memory of walking in on Caden flipping my mate over and almost kissing her.The image refused to leave me, no matter how hard I tried.Xaviera beneath him.Caden hovering over her, one hand planted beside her shoulder, the other wrapped firmly around her waist to stop her from hitting the ground.Xavie

Chapter: 62: ON THE OTHER ENDBETA CADENI was walking on thin ice. A little crack, and I'd be going under. I knew this, but I couldn't help the anger that coursed through my veins when my mother told me about Ryker sleeping out for the past two nights, and Xaviera finding out he had been at Lauren's. I knew he was angry, but I didn't expect him to be unkind to her. I expected more from him. Like he did from you. Shut it, Murray!You kissed his girl. I almost did. It didn't happen. Not really. But goddess, I was this close! Close enough to feel her fluttering pulse, breath her in, see the confusion, the fear and…the need. I was close enough to knowing if she wanted me as I did her.And Ryker had seen it. Five days, and no confrontation. He'd nod at my observations at board meetings, act so fucking normal it scared the daylights out of me, but there was a wall now. And it got thicker by the minute. It was in his silence. The distance in his eyes. I was stupid to confront him, but this was Xaviera. Carmen was

Chapter: 61: A COLOSSAL FUCK UPXAVIERA I was premiumly fucked! I didn't know why I had let this thing with Caden even play the first scene. I didn't know why I had let him get that close to me when I knew what he wanted, what I was feeling, and how impossible, audacious even, for us to indulge. I had a mate for goodness sake! The fucking Alpha of the pack! What was I even thinking? Why didn't I push him off first? Why did I stall? Xaviera why?! The hours clocked by and each hour that led me to dusk spiked my apprehension. I didn't know what I'd say when he returned. I could explain, but what would I explain? He saw everything, and his reaction, confusing as it was, showed he understood perfectly. Could I even look him in the eye? I missed lunch. I had postponed my meeting with Eileen. Told her I had a headache. Then shut myself in, pacing and regretting and then repeating the action. Every time a car drove into the mansion grounds, I spied on it, but none brought Ryker. The absence of him per spy session br

Chapter: 60: TO CROSS THE LINE.CADENI punched the stuffed bag once more. Sweat trickled profusely down my body. I had dismissed the deltas earlier than usual, and I had spent the rest of practice time venting my pent up frustration on my inanimate victim.It's been five days, and I couldn't forget that one heartbreaking incident. I couldn't unsee what I had seen.I'd rather it happened in my absence. But those damned men had to come, and have me walk into what I dreaded.Seeing her so plaint in his arms, responding to his kisses, moaning her plea and need had killed me. The memory had taunted and tormented me for nights on end.Why did the one woman I had become obsessive of have to be my best friend's mate?Why was I mad at Ryker for kissing her? Why was I heartbroken that she'd kissed him back? Why did it hurt to see them together?

Chapter: 59: TO STAND A CHANCEXAVIERAIt's been four days since Ryker pinned me against the walls of the training ground, and kissed me senseless. That was my first kiss. And never did I envision that it would be as passionate and maddening as that. Now that he'd kissed me, I wanted him to do more. I wanted him to make love to me. I wanted him to do all sorts of things— things I heard Zephyr talk about in hush whispers in the middle of the night. I wanted him to make me feel things I had never felt before. To touch me in places I had never been touched before. If that was what I wanted, why did I feel guilty when Caden had walked in on us? What was wrong with me? Four whole days have passed since that kiss, and I had avoided Ryker like a plague. This was easy because he had been too busy to even notice my presence or even my absence. He barely ate breakfast, was at his office during lunch and I always skipped dinner. I had equally avoided contact with Caden, not that I saw him often. But the last time he sta

THE TWIN IN HIS BED
After eleven years of silence, Ellesmere Morrison's estranged twin sister reappears with an outrageous demand: impersonate her for one week while she escapes on a secret trip with her lover. Refusal isn't an option. Armed with blackmail and a fortune Ellesmere desperately needs, her sister leaves her with a simple assignment—live in her mansion, fool the staff, and survive seven days as a woman she barely knows.
The plan collapses on the very first night.
Carlton Holland, her sister's devastatingly handsome billionaire husband, returns home days ahead of schedule.
With a collapsed plan, and her sister conveniently out of reach, she is forced to maintain the deception.
Ellesmere finds herself sharing a home, a bed, and a life that was never meant to be hers. But the longer the lie continues, the more Carlton becomes drawn to the woman he believes is his wife. The woman who is shy, kinder, warmer, and infinitely different from the one he married.
As attraction ignites and dangerous feelings take root, Ellesmere falls for the one man she can never truly have—a man who doesn't even know her name.

Chapter: THE TWIN IN HIS BEDCHAPTER ELEVEN The city drifted past the tinted windows of Carlton's car in streaks of white and gold, lights dissolved into long ribbons against the evening traffic. Across from us, our driver sat ramrod straight, his attention fixed on the road ahead.Beside me, Carlton seemed perfectly at ease.As though the afternoon had been nothing more than another business appointment.I stole a glance at him.His tie was gone. The first two buttons of his shirt had been left undone, softening the severe image he usually carried. One arm rested lazily along the back of the seat behind me, close enough for me to feel its warmth without actually touching me.I shifted.A dull ache reminded me exactly why that had been a terrible idea.Heat climbed stubbornly up my neck.God.What was wrong with me?I pressed my thighs together, hoping to silence the lingering ache between them.It didn't help.How did I move from being exposed to seducing and sleeping with my sister's husband for the third time

Chapter: THE TWIN IN HIS BED.CHAPTER TEN The moment Carlton's lips crashed on mine, my world tilted on its axis. A quiver rippled through me, followed by a violent surge of desire. It was not a gentle thing, not a testing brush of lips. There was no careful pause to see whether I would pull away. He came at me with a certainty that made my pulse kick hard against my ribs, and for one stunned second I forgot the point of all this. I forgot the rehearsed lie. I forgot that I had touched him with a plan, with a purpose, with the thinly disguised intent to keep him busy and his questions asleep.I had meant to seduce him into silence.Stop his wheels from turning, that was all. A distraction. A tactic. A way to keep him from noticing what did not belong or fit, from looking too closely at the shape of my face and the edges of my voice.But the instant he touched me, that careful plan began to unravel.I had underestimated the power Carlton had over my body. He tasted like heat and impatience and something that fe

Too scared to move.He stopped before a mini bar, and poured himself a drink from a crystal decanter.“I have been thinking a lot about yesterday,” he continued his back to me.This was bad.“Last night.” He turned

Why the hell are you panicking?”“Because your stupid plan—”“Ellesmere,” her tone sharpened immediately. “Be useful for once in your goddamn life, and allow me to enjoy myself.”Enjoy herself?I sta

Chapter: THE TWIN IN HIS BEDCHAPTER SIXThe last time a man touched me was precisely eight years ago. And he was my one and only boyfriend.After our messy break up, I had kept men farther than an arm's length.Working two jobs while tending to a very sick mother had made it easier, and the only time I felt I was still a woman was whenever I took a shower.But, Carlton's hands on my body reminded me in an instant what it felt like to be wanted.To be woman.But this was wrong!He was Arla's husband.He was my sister's husband!But, his hands ignited a fire I didn't know still existed.“Relax, baby,” he whispered against my neck.My pulse skyrocketed. Fire, liquid fire coursed through my veins.
