In the Name of Love and Loss
Rayne Lyn
Ten years ago, the Harrington family went through a home invasion. My mother, a maid, shielded Liam with her life.
Holding my hands tight, Liam promised, "Andrea, don't worry. I'll protect you forever."
I believed him. Our bond grew naturally, and we had a beautiful daughter together.
Then, she was diagnosed with leukemia.
In her last days, all she wanted was to spend one birthday with her dad.
I called him, desperate to make it happen.
"Millie doesn't have much time left. All she wants is one birthday with you. Can you come?"
His voice on the other end went icy. "Really? This your latest stunt? Using your dead mom wasn't enough, now it's our daughter for pity? Disgusting."
I tried to deny it, but he cut me off. "Don't mess with her head. Learn from Vivian—she's got a real heart."
That night, our daughter passed away.
Later, Vivian posted on social media: [Finally taking that couples' trip someone promised me!]
I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just texted Liam: [We're done.]

Now, I am back on my feet. With the help of my four long-lost brothers, I regained everything my ex-husband took away from me. With an empire behind me, it's time for revenge.

Alpha's Regret: Chasing His Luna After the Loss
The night before our wedding, my Alpha, Charlie, was attacked by rogue wolves on his way to pick up my wedding dress.
He survived, but the doctor diagnosed him with severe PTSD and no memory of me. Any mention of our wedding made him collapse.
Around the same time, I found out I was pregnant. "Perhaps the child’s arrival might awaken the part of him that truly loves you," the doctor said.
I clung to that hope,until I overheard them at the pack training grounds.
"Faking PTSD to dodge the wedding? Damn, Charlie, that’s next-level." One of his brothers laughed. "You really pulled it off, man. Playing the tragic Alpha just to shake off that boring little fiancée? Genius."
"Shut up!" Charlie snapped, but there was no real anger in his tone. "I love Eve. I’m only lying to her this once. Let me have my fun at The Velvet Bite a little longer, and then I’ll marry her."
"Especially her cousin, Lisa," another voice jeered. "Damn, Charlie—a brothel and the fiancée’s family? That’s low, even for you."
Charlie chuckled. "You don’t get it. Those women… I can’t live without that feeling. It’s addictive."
My hands shook as I tore the ultrasound report into pieces. Without a word, I turned and walked away.
That night, at the pack hospital, I made an appointment for an abortion.

There was a time when Nyla believed that walking down the aisle with Clark, after being together since their university years, would be the happiest moment of her life.

Damon, however, pursued her relentlessly, determined to have her in his arms.
"Uncle Damon, we're not right for each other."
Damon gently pinched Nyla’s chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes. "You and Clark are divorced. How am I still your uncle?
"Besides, how do you know we’re not right for each other when you haven't tried?"
"I’ve tried," Nyla replied.
"Then try again," Damon said. "Keep trying until it feels right."
Nyla was at a loss for words.

When True Love Blossoms
My sister accompanies me when I go for my premarital medical checkup. When I'm preparing a urine test, I hear embarrassing sounds coming from the cubicle next door.
I'm about to leave when I hear the conversation.
"Keep it in you, Willow. We're doing this again if it slips out."
The voice belongs to my fiancé, Zachary Hilton. The woman to whom he's speaking is Willow Langley, my sister.
I dial his number hysterically to see whether it really is him, but my calls go unanswered. All I hear is the incessant ringing of a phone next door and moans alongside it.
I'm rooted to the spot, too stunned to do anything. Zachary once vowed to love me for life, yet he's doing something like this with Willow prior to our wedding.
The moans and pants next door take a long time to subside. Once I hear them leave, I call home, my face wet with tears.
"Mom, change my husband-to-be to Thomas Hilton, Zachary's youngest uncle. I don't want to have anything to do with Zachary anymore."

Stating that Elizabeth Paige had a huge crush on "The Nathaniel Lachlan" since high school would be an understatement but she was a shy and never handled it well. Nathaniel Lachlan was a lethal . Nobody ever messed around with him. He needed an assistant who would only be professional with him and not develop feelings for him.But yesterday, everything changed. As soon as she said my name I knew I had to have her, beneath me, moaning and begging. I wanted to bury myself inside her. I noticed whenever I was close, her breathing would alter and she will be at a loss of words. I didn't know I lusted after her so much. I never craved for women as much as I crave this . I also knew that I can't satisfy myself only by having her for a .(Billionaire Brothers Series Nathaniel Lachlan & Aaron Riverwood & Landon Chambers)
