Mate

Sweet Pampering

Ambiguous

Plot Twists

Devotion

I always thought my husband, Ryder, was forced to marry me. For six months, he wouldn't touch me. I tried everything. I wore my sexiest lingerie. I guided his hands over my burning skin. I could feel how hard he was, completely out of control. But at the last second, he'd always push me away, gasping. He'd finish me with his fingers instead. My hope died. I decided to leave him. I was ready to accept a top dog trainer position in Europe. The night before I planned to hand him the divorce papers, I heard voices from his study. Ryder, talking to his best friends. "Ryder, you're dying for her, man. So why won't you touch her? Another man's going to snatch her up!" "But she's so fragile..." Ryder's deep voice was filled with pain. "You know... I'm a monster. If she sees what I really am... it will terrify her." His voice dropped to a raw whisper. "If she really needs... comfort... from another man... I can take it. As long as she comes home to me in the end." His friend growled. "Stop! Then maybe stop posting on that encrypted dark web forum, asking for help!" Monster? What did that mean? Late that night, I used his computer. I found a hidden forum called "The Den." A pinned post at the top. Thousands of replies. User ID: Midnight_Howler. One sentence. Dripping with desperation and frantic obsession: "I finally married the girl I've loved for years, but I'm terrified to touch her. How can I survive my rut without hurting her, without her discovering my secret?"

Chapter 1
"Tonight has to work."I gave myself a pep talk in the mirror. My fingers traced the expensive lace lingerie. Black. Sheer. Skin-tight. I looked so hot it made my own mouth go dry.Ryder had been on a business trip for three days. He was coming home tonight.Three days apart. Long enough to make any normal man starved for his wife.I slipped on his oversized white dress shirt. I left it unbuttoned. The black lace peeked through the white cotton.The shirt still smelled like him. It mixed with my own scent to create a deadly temptation.Heavy footsteps echoed on the stairs. I posed on the master bed. My heart pounded.This time, it would definitely work.The door pushed open. Ryder walked in, fresh from the shower. A towel hung loosely low on his hips.Damn. His body was a sin. Broad shoulders, narrow waist. His abs looked carved from stone. His V-line disappeared right under the white towel. A man built like this had to be aggressively dominant in bed.But we’d been married for six mon

That night, the stress and the cold caught up with me. I got a bad fever.At 102 degrees, I was dizzy and completely out of it.In my daze, I felt a warm towel wiping my body."Avery. Be a good girl. Take your medicine." A deep, unbelievably gentle voice whispered in my ear.I forced my eyes open. Ryder sat by the bed. His eyes were full of worry."Go away." I turned my head, my voice rough. "I don't need you.""Still so stubborn when you're sick." He stroked my forehead. "The water is perfectly warm. Just drink a little."His hand was so warm. I wanted to lean into it. But I forced myself to stay cold."I said I don't need you.""But I need to take care of you." His voice held a tenderness that stunned me. "It's my duty."Duty. Always duty.I closed my eyes and ignored him. But he wouldn't leave. He stayed glued to the bedside.I could feel his burning gaze pinned to my fever-flushed lips. His breathing was heavy.When I woke up again, I was wrapped tightly in his arms.His body was s

Chapter 3
That afternoon, I stopped by a private clinic. I couldn't sleep lately. I had no appetite. I thought I was sick."Your results show you're perfectly healthy." The young female doctor put down my chart. "You're just stressed. It's messing with your hormones."She looked at my age. Then she looked at my marital status."I suggest you find a partner and blow off some steam in bed." Her blunt advice made me blush. "A healthy sex life is important for a woman's health."I practically ran out of the clinic in pure awkwardness. If I was getting laid, would I even be at the doctor's?Later, Chloe and I had tea at the studio."Look at you." She handed me some tiramisu. "You're pale as a ghost, with dark circles under your eyes.""Thanks for the honesty." I took a bite of the sweet cake."I have an idea." Chloe leaned in mysteriously. "Hire some hot male models as 'training partners' for the studio. Let them help you relieve some stress."I almost choked on the cake. "What?""Don't play innocent

My heart hammered in my chest. The shock morphed into a twisted thrill.I wasn't scared of this at all. Honestly, it was hot.This cold, suit-wearing billionaire was a wild beast on the inside. And he was dying for me to "tame" him!I wanted to storm downstairs, grab him by the tie, and tell him I knew everything.I wanted to show him I wasn't afraid. I wanted him to unleash his inner beast.I stood up, ready to go downstairs. Just then, the doorbell rang.I frowned. Who was here this late?I walked to the door and almost passed out.Unbelievable. Chloe had actually sent male models to my door. Two muscular blondes stood on my porch, their tight t-shirts straining against their chests."Hi, Ms. Avery." One flashed a charming smile. "Chloe sent us to help you 'unwind'.""What?!" I panicked. "Didn't Chloe tell you? I'm a married woman!""We know," the other guy winked. "Chloe mentioned your husband has some... performance issues. She said you needed a hand."My face burned hot enough to

Chapter 5
Ryder was on the edge. He was fighting a violent shift. I didn't back down.Instead, I pushed his buttons on purpose. "Yeah, well, since my husband doesn't want me, I have to find my own fun."I turned back to the two male models lingering by the door. "Come on in. Don't just stand there."The air around Ryder went still. It was suffocating. The ice in his eyes didn't just shatter. It exploded into raw agony and blinding jealousy.His fists clenched so hard his knuckles turned white. Veins popped on his arms. Still, he held it in. He refused to snap in front of an audience."Avery, are you out of your mind?" one of his friends gasped."I'm perfectly sane." I marched the two models toward my study right in front of everyone. "Since I'm clearly unwanted here, I'm going to find someone who actually appreciates me."A low, guttural growl ripped from Ryder’s throat—like a wounded beast. I didn't even look back.I stepped into the study and locked the door behind us."Shirts off," I told the

Chapter 6
My arrogant Alpha was on his knees. At my feet.He forced my hand flat against his scorching chest. I could feel his heart thrashing, trying to punch its way out of his ribcage."Feel that?" he rasped. "This is what you do to me."He dragged my hand down. He stopped over a vicious, jagged scar on his lower stomach. "I got this fighting for the Alpha title," he said, staring up at me with crazed devotion. "Just so I could have the right to stand beside you. To be worthy of you."That was it. That broke me.I yanked him into a kiss, pouring everything I had into it. He kissed back instantly, like a starving beast who hadn't eaten in a century.We were tearing at each other when I finally pushed him back, gasping for air."Those guys..." I panted against his lips. "It was just a misunderstanding. Chloe sent them. I didn't touch them."He froze. Two seconds later, the dark agony in his eyes vanished, replaced by pure, feral ecstasy."Really?" he trembled."Really."He snapped.He scooped m

The next day, I tore the entire bedroom apart. Still no application. I knew it. Ryder definitely snatched it in the heat of the moment.I put on my best makeup and marched straight up to the top floor of Sterling Group. When I pushed open the heavy mahogany doors, Ryder was right in the middle of a board meeting.Every suit in the room turned to stare, but my eyes were locked dead on him."Sorry to interrupt," I said, strolling right up to him. "I need a word with my husband.""Take ten, gentlemen," Ryder ordered smoothly. "Go grab a coffee."Once the room cleared out, he poured me a glass of water. "What brings my gorgeous wife to the office?" he asked, throwing me a flawless, innocent smile."Did you see something on my nightstand?" I cut right to the chase."Your nightstand?" He tilted his head, acting like he was racking his brain. "Did you lose something important, sweetheart?"God, he was a good actor."Never mind." I set the glass down. "I probably just misplaced it.""If you l

Chapter 8
Ryder went completely silent. He looked like a giant wolf awaiting punishment.I poked a finger hard into his rock-solid abs, getting more annoyed by the second."Six months of marriage, and you completely iced me out," I said, tracing circles on his chest. "You had me thinking I was just a pawn for your business empire. A contract wife.""No!" He captured my lips frantically. "Never!""Then what was it?""Because..." He stared into my eyes with a tragic, desperate kind of love. "Because you're my one and only mate. A werewolf only gets one fated mate in a lifetime. I was terrified of losing control and hurting you.""And I was terrified that if you found out the truth, you really would run away to Europe."His raw honesty chipped away at my anger. "So, you've been in love with me this whole time?"He nodded, slumping in relief like a man on death row getting a pardon."For years," he admitted, brushing a thumb across my cheek. "Since the first time I laid eyes on you at that gala.""T

I slowly turned my head.The man holding me was Ryder's mirror image. But his energy was all wrong. And he was smirking right at me."Surprise!" he winked. "I'm the evil twin, Ryan."Me: "???"Ryder’s face was thunderous. He stalked over and physically snatched me out of Ryan's arms. "Ryan! What the hell is wrong with you!""Relax, little bro," Ryan chuckled, throwing his hands up in surrender. "I just wanted to see the woman who's got our big, bad Alpha crying on the internet."My face instantly caught fire. Wait. They all knew?"Just how many of you know about Midnight_Howler?" I demanded."The entire pack," Ryan grinned. "You're practically our internet-famous Luna."Ryder looked like he wanted the floor to swallow him whole. I just raised an eyebrow and stared him down."Well, well. It seems we need to have a little chat about your 'infidelity' accusations."Ryan wisely took that as his cue to exit, leaving the two of us staring at each other in the gym.I crossed my arms, smirkin
