The Architect - undefined novels & stories
T.C. Wolfé
I was the girl no one noticed. Until I opened File Case No. 0001. Azrael Atlas St. Claire. They call him “The Architect.” A ghost. A cold-blooded killer. A man so dangerous the FBI can’t touch. His death would shatter the economy. Rival syndicates would burn the city to kill him. He has no weakness. Then he found me. He appeared in my archive and vanished without a trace. The next morning, gifts started appearing on my nightstand. First, a bullet coated in dried blood. Second, ten fingers belonging to the man who touched me. He watched. Followed. Stalked my every move. Then one night, he came through my window. He took what he wanted while I floated in haze. I woke up sore, terrified…and craving for more—needing for more. The FBI saw a fracture in me, and decided to weaponize it. They wired me. Made me their spy with a promised I’d be safe if I helped them cage the monster. Yet, at the first sign of blood, they ran. Leaved me in chaos. He stayed. Now, I lived in his world. My mother thinks the lawyer at her table is a kind stranger. She didn’t feel his hand between my thighs underneath. She doesn’t know he’s been sculpting my life for years, long before we ever met. The FBI wants me to betray him. His enemies want me dead for revenge. But the monster who stole my life? He’s the only one who ever truly saw me. And I’m starting to wonder if that makes me just as dangerous as him. They say there’s a line between the victim and the villain. I don’t think I’m on the right side anymore.

Luna's Revenge  - undefined novels & stories
Glozy
"""Your father already agreed, Aria. You don't have a choice."" Bale's cold words leave me frozen. Once, I believed he was my friend. Now that he has inherited the Alpha title, the person standing before me feels like a complete stranger. ""I'm not something you can simply trade between families,"" I tell him. Bale gives me a dismissive look. ""Tell that to your father."" That is the problem. For years, I have been treated as little more than collateral whenever my father needs a favor. I have never been able to shift into my wolf form, even though I reached the expected age long ago. As my parents' only child, I have spent years believing that I disappointed my family. Perhaps that is why I remained silent for so long. But I am tired of being treated as though my life belongs to everyone except me. Bale was once someone I trusted. Everything changed after he inherited the Alpha title from his father following a disastrous conflict with another pack. My own father abandoned them when they needed his support most, and the consequences have followed our families ever since. As I walk through the forest toward home, the same thought returns to me again. I should leave. I should disappear before my father decides my future for me again. When I finally reach home, however, something feels wrong. The house is strangely quiet. I walk toward my room and suddenly stop. A tall stranger is standing inside, holding the dress I wore yesterday. He slowly turns toward me. The instant our eyes meet, a powerful connection rushes through me. His deep blue gaze remains fixed on mine, and for reasons I cannot explain, I find myself unable to move. His expression suddenly changes. ""Why do you carry a trace that belongs to me,"" he demands, ""when someone else's presence surrounds you?"" Fear and confusion leave me speechless. Who is this man? Why does being near him awaken something inside me that has remained silent for years? His gaze hardens as though he has already reached a decision. ""You're coming with me."" Those are the last words I remember before everything around me fades away. All my life, I believed I was the disappointment of my family—the wolf who could never shift and the daughter whose future could be traded away whenever necessary. But the mysterious stranger's arrival is about to reveal that everything I believed about myself may have been wrong. And once the truth about my identity begins to surface, my father, Bale, and the entire pack may have to face the consequences of how they treated me."
