Tenía nueve meses de embarazo cuando el Consejo de Lobos envió un reporte de recursos a las habitaciones de la Luna. En él aparecían los gastos mensuales de mi compañero. Durante dos años seguidos, mi compañero del destino, el Alfa de la manada, le había estado entregando en secreto a una loba acceso al territorio, protección y suministros. Sin falta, cada mes. El primer registro era de hace dos años, el mismo mes en que perdí a mi primer cachorro. De pronto apareció una notificación: una solicitud de contacto. El nombre decía: “La compañera del Alfa”. Me sentía extrañamente tranquila; puse una mano sobre mi vientre abultado y acepté. Me escribió. “Ya viste el reporte, ¿no?” No le respondí; en su lugar, abrí su perfil. La publicación más vieja era del 21 de abril de hace dos años. Una loba aparecía apoyada en el pecho de un Alfa. Le habían recortado la cara en la foto, pero la marca en su hombro era clara. La reconocí: era la marca de Alfa de mi compañero. El texto decía: “Gracias por elegirme en mi noche de mayoría de edad”. El 21 de abril. Esa fue la noche en que me quedé desangrándome en la sala de curación, perdiendo a mi bebé. Él me había dicho que estaba fuera por asuntos de la manada. Seguí revisando sus fotos. Entrenaba libremente en áreas exclusivas para Alfas. Usaba recursos reservados para su Luna. La cuidaban como si ya fuera la pareja que debía estar a su lado. Cada publicación transmitía el mismo mensaje: él la eligió a ella. Fijado hasta arriba había un reporte médico: estaba embarazada del cachorro del Alfa. Dejé el celular y regresé a nuestra recámara. Entonces me llegaron más cosas: fotos y videos. Me los mandó a propósito, para presumir que el amor del que yo antes estaba tan orgullosa ya no era para mí. Me senté despacio mientras sentía a mi cachorro moviéndose dentro de mí y dolor me recorría. Solo entonces lo entendí: me había traicionado por completo. No quiero un amor así. No me quedaré en esta manada. Cuando nazca mi cachorro, me iré y me llevaré a su heredero conmigo. Que el Alfa busque en cada territorio, y aunque recorra cada frontera y destruya la manada por arrepentimiento, nunca nos va a encontrar.

Done checking me out yet, babe?” The godlike man with tattoos covering his muscular forearms asks me with a teasing smirk on his face. "No fair, Miles is hogging her. The name's Beckett, Darling," He said with his deep baritone voice that had my core clenching. "My turn," came another deep gorgeous voice, sounding more sensual than the last. "Hey, Princess." He said, whisking me away from Beckett, "The name's Aphelion." Aphelion grabbed my chin, forcing me to look into his beautiful green eyes. "I can still make your insides burn with want for me." He said once he pulled back, grinning at me, a dimple appearing on his cheek, "By the way, I'm Samael." Katrina was left at an orphanage as an infant, on her 18th birthday she gets a vague letter from her birth mother, that doesn’t go into much detail on why her parents abandon her, just that there was a danger lurking, and Katrina had to disappear. On her 21st birthday Katrina’s best friends take her to the Popular club Hecate where her life turns upside down. One minute she’s having fun getting drunk, the next she’s blasting a pervert on his ass with some unknown power that just blasted out of her hands. Now Katrina is stuck attending school with a bunch of demigods and four very attractive very dangerous gods, who have all staked a claim on her. Katrina must learn how to control this new power of hers, avoid the demigoddess who she has somehow angered by her existence, figure out what the danger is her mother’s letter warned her about, all while juggling four very dominating gods.

PLEASE DON'T READ (Under major editing*) He stepped closer if that was even possible at this point. "I want you, Melanie." He rasped beneath his breath, his gaze falling to mouth. I hated the way I shivered visibly at his words. "So much." He ran his thumb along the inside of my elbow, closing his lips over mine again. One minute we were trying to kiss slowly. The next he was parting my lips and we were back to devouring each other. Our lips stayed locked even as he moved his fingers higher and higher. **** Melanie Steele and Damon Trent were practically the two opposite poles of a magnet. They had almost nothing in common. She liked her solitude, he liked being in the spotlight. She loved living for herself and being comfortable. He was in a constant competition with nobody. She hated attention, he craved it like the oxygen he breathed. They could never work... Or could they? When Damon finds out that he had to be married to get possession of his late father's properties, he let his friends talk him into putting up an ad in the News Paper and making a public spectacle to look for his future wife. What he didn't see coming was Melanie signing up for the competition. Somehow along the way, lines are not just crossed they're being completely erased. He's broken all his rules with her and she's thrown way her sanity when it comes to him. They find themselves battling an attraction that was slowly becoming something more. What happens when Damon's secret gets out? Would Melanie be able to forgive him? Or will their story end before it even has a chance to begin?

“It won’t be a straight death from where you’re standing.” I blink, turning around. “What?” But he doesn’t give me a reply. At least not yet. Instead, he takes hold of my arms in his large, gloved hands, and pulls me to him so that we are standing toe to toe. “What are you doing?” I whisper. This new position has brought us closer. So close that if I stand on my toes, and he dips his head down a bit, I’d probably have the best kiss… “If you fall from here, the possibility of you dying immediately is 98% at the very least,” He begins as I stare at him with my mouth slightly agape. “Falling from where you stood before is about 35% lesser. You’d die eventually, maybe after a night or two of trying to revive your shattered bones, but not immediately.” Having made his point, he steps back from me and climbs down the somewhat elevated platform. “Did you just make way for me to kill myself?” I murmur, feeling like I’m losing my mind all over again. What kind of a man is this? *** Sonia’s life is going great one minute and then takes a spin for the worse when she is betrayed, gets pregnant and worse, is told that she will be getting married to Italian mafia heir, Anthony Romero, who doesn’t mind raising another man’s child. She abhors the idea, but having also recently been disowned by her father, she has no choice but to accept the marriage proposal if she wants protection for herself and her child. But she has questions. Why would a sane man from her world want to raise a child that isn’t his? Surely they’re ulterior motives in play.

« Si nous étions tous les deux en danger, qui penses-tu que Jared sauverait en premier ? », demande-t-elle soudain. « Quoi ? » Je n’ai pas le temps de réfléchir à ses mots, car la minute suivante, je sens une poussée dans mon dos et je perds l’équilibre, glissant dans les escaliers jusqu’à atterrir au bas des marches. ***************** Arielle a tout pour être heureuse–une carrière florissante en tant que chef talentueuse et un mariage réussi avec un milliardaire.

"How could you conspire with them. I trusted you Layla!" He was really mad. "I didn't give them the code Damon, okay? I don't know how they got it?" She said. She strangely felt no nervousness or fear. Only the guilty felt fear. "Why didn't you tell me the truth about him? God! We've been dating for almost a year and you never told me he was a ex-convict", he said a shade quieter. He watched Layla look down for a minute and stare back up at him, tears gathering in her deep blue eyes. "If I did tell you, would you still have fallen for me...?"

They soon meet Damon's ex, Yasmin Kyle and Layla's criminal and terrible father, Dario Hernandez. Their trust and love for each other is tested as well as family ties but will they pull through or are something's just not meant to be?

“So, you really think I did what Fiona accused me of? I know it sounds bad, and it’s almost believable, but I’d never get into Fiona’s bed. If you could just slow down a minute, I’ll explain,” Jordan said. “Let’s assume Fiona is wrong. Where are you coming from right now? It just proves her allegations against you. As you can see, I’m busy. Please leave! I’d like to change my clothes,” I said firmly. His expression changed. “Ella, you’re kidding, right? I’ve literally seen all of you. In fact, I might have seen your guts when I’m between your legs,” he chuckled softly. “My point is, I love you, and I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. So, please sit, and let’s talk,” Jordan said, walking toward me, grabbing the bag I had packed, and shoved it aside.
