A growl escaped his throat as my scent hit his nostrils, sitting beside him was unbearable and I was Unknowingly creating havoc in his head as he created on my body. He was a stranger, yet he looked and smelled like someone I had met before, my brain couldn't process where we had met, but this stranger felt familiar.  He tilted his head towards me and said, "Why do I feel I know this scent." He inhaled more but I tried to mask the feelings he was creating in me, his voice was alluring.  "was that one of your pickup links, oh please, it's old, how old are you?"  I said avoiding his gaze while I shut my eyes tight, with my thighs pressed tightly together. He moved his eyes to my legs and murmured.  "Why do I need a pick-up line when I could get what I want in a blink and you are not an exception, I could make you wet your pants without moving a muscle."  ======= In a werewolf world where friendship is difficult to build, the future Alpha of Shadow Moom, Jamie formed a friendship that is inseparable with Princess Tiffany.

My mate, Alpha Alex, had a wolf cursed at birth by a witch—unable to catch the scent of any she-wolf, doomed never to find his true mate. He spent five long years searching for her, only to be met with nothing but disappointment. In the end, broken and exhausted, he gave up. That was when he claimed me. On the night of our bonding, he told me the truth. "Fiona," he said quietly, "I had no choice. If the pack knew their Alpha couldn't even find his true mate, I'd become a disgrace in their eyes. So I chose you. You are my selected mate—but I swear, no one will ever take your title. You are my Luna. Even if I one day find my true mate… that will never change." But then he added, his voice distant and heavy: "Even though I'm cursed… I must still try to find her. I need to search every corner of the pack." From that night onward, she-wolves began appearing at our den one after another—every day, without fail. Some were shy, some bold. Some came bearing gifts, others with longing in their eyes. But all of them came for one reason: to see if they were his mate. And I? I could only watch in silence—his Luna in name, but never truly in heart. Because I knew there was nothing I could do to change his behavior. I had lost count of how many times I cried and begged him to stop—but still, every night, he brought different young she-wolves into our den. I once thought he'd eventually grow tired of it, that he would stop one day. Until he brought home three young she-wolves from the werewolf club. He paid far more than other alphas for their first night. Why? Because a witch told him that only sharing a night with more than two virgin she-wolves from the same bloodline could awaken his wolf's dormant sense—and help him find his true mate. I let out a bitter smile because what he didn't know was— The true mate he had searched for all these years… was me. But I would never return to him again. And by the time he finally found out the truth— It was already too late.
