LOGINI have to destroy him… but God, the way he looks at me makes me want to ride him instead.” Those were the last words Clara remembered thinking before she stepped into Ryder West’s world. One blackmail. One impossible mission. One dangerous secret that could destroy them both. Clara Bennett is a talented photographer hiding a massive secret .... she’s the anonymous owner of Ashton City’s most explosive gossip blog. Ryder West is the city’s ruthless, richest, and most mysterious bachelor. They say he’s not entirely human. Some call him a monster. Others swear he’s something far more dangerous. Now Clara’s cruel ex-fiancé has discovered her secret and is holding her dying mother’s life in his hands. He’s forcing her to get close to Ryder, dig up every dirty secret, and deliver the man to him. She has no choice. He says he’ll save her mother… if she destroys Ryder. She says she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her only family. But as Clara slips deeper into Ryder’s dark world, something shifts. The more she uncovers, the more she craves. His intense gaze. His dangerous power. The way he makes her feel alive for the first time in years. What started as a mission to betray him is slowly turning into something far more treacherous: She’s falling madly in love with the very monster she was sent to destroy. ***Trigger warning** 18+* Smut*

The massive black wolf trembled under my touch, his amber eyes locked on mine even through the pain.Victor raised his gun again. “Move, Clara. Or I shoot you both.”Francis wiped blood from his mouth and smiled coldly. “She’s not going anywhere with you, Victor. Clara is mine.”I grabbed the gun I had dropped earlier and stood up on shaking legs, positioning myself between the two men and the wounded wolf. “Neither of you gets him. And neither of you gets me.”Ryder’s body began to shift back, bones cracking as fur receded. Within moments he was human again, naked and bleeding heavily, but still trying to push himself up. “Clara… run…”“No,” I said firmly, tears streaming down my face. “We end this together.”Victor fired. I pulled the trigger at the same time.The bullet from my gun hit Victor in the shoulder, spinning him sideways. His shot went wide,
Clara Bennett“Ryder, look out!” I screamed as Francis lunged from the side, his fangs bared and eyes glowing with cold hunger.Ryder barely had time to turn. Francis slammed into him with supernatural speed, driving them both into a stack of metal crates. The impact shook the entire warehouse. I raised the gun with shaking hands and fired toward Victor’s remaining men, forcing them to take cover. My shoulder burned from the old wound, but I didn’t stop.Victor laughed from across the room, still holding his gun. “You’re full of surprises, Clara. But this is where it ends. Francis wants you for himself. I want the wolf. We both get what we came for tonight.”Ryder pushed Francis off him with a roar that didn’t sound human anymore. His body started changing right in front of me. Bones cracked and shifted. Dark fur exploded across his skin. His face elongated into a powerful muzzle filled with sharp teeth. Within seconds, the man I loved was gone, replaced by a massive black wolf the s
Clara Bennett“They’re here,” Ryder said quietly, his hand tightening around mine as we stood in the middle of the old warehouse. The air smelled like dust and rust. His body was tense beside me, every muscle ready. “Stay close. No matter what happens, stay behind me.”I nodded, my heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. “I’m not leaving you. We’re doing this together.”The side door creaked open. Victor walked in first, looking calm and arrogant in a dark suit, followed by several armed men. Behind him came Francis, pale and elegant, his cold blue eyes locking onto me the second he entered. A small, possessive smile curved his lips.“Well, well,” Victor said, spreading his arms like he was welcoming us to a party. “The happy couple finally decided to stop running. How brave of you, Clara. I almost thought you’d keep hiding forever.”Ryder stepped slightly in front of me, his voice low and dangerous. “This ends tonight, Victor. You took her mother. You took her freedom. Y
Clara Bennett “Ryder, something feels wrong,” I said, gripping his hand tighter as we walked out of the hospital together a few days later. The sun was too bright, the air too fresh after being trapped inside for so long. My shoulder still ached under the bandage, but it was nothing compared to the fear that had settled deep in my chest. “I keep thinking they’re watching us. Victor. Francis. Both of them. They won’t just let us go.” Ryder pulled me closer, his arm around my waist as we walked toward the car. His body was tense, but his voice stayed calm for me. “I know. I feel it too. But we’re not running anymore. We’re facing this head on. Together. I won’t let them touch you again.” I looked up at him, my heart swelling with love even as the fear tried to choke it. “I believe you. I do. But what if they come at us from different sides? What if they work together? I saw how they looked at each other at the warehouse. They hate each other, but they both want us. That makes them
Clara Bennett Ryder stopped right in front of me, his tall, powerful frame blocking out everything else in the room. His dark eyes moved slowly from my face to Amelia, who was still clinging to his arm like she owned him. “Mr. West, please!” Amelia whined in that annoying high-pitched voice,
Clara Bennett I sat rigidly in the chair across from Ryder’s massive desk with my back straight as a rod. It was only my first day, and I already felt like a complete nervous wreck. My palms were sweaty, and every time his intense gaze swept over me, my pulse quickened like a startled rabbit.
Clara Bennett My feet dragged against the cracked sidewalk as I made my way back to where they had dumped my car. Every step I took sent a painful reminder through my bruised ribs that my mom was held back there. I glanced back and saw them drag her out to who knows where. I felt helpless. Th
Clara Bennett Tears blurred everything as I drove through the cold night. The heater in my old car had died months ago, but I barely felt the chill. All I could feel was the knife in my chest. “Cheating bastard,” I whispered, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand. “Jerk. Liar.” All those mon
