Did Alexander Hamilton Have Slaves

The wolf within me fights for control. The guy who broke my heart keeps trying to win me back. And my life as I knew it is over forever. My name is Alyssa, and I thought I was just an ordinary human girl until supernatural powers started manifesting and a werewolf pack took me in. But the alpha's son Adam ignited a fire in my soul - and a passion in my veins - that I can't resist, no matter how hard I try. Adam promises me a destiny greater than anything I imagined. And pleasures deeper than anything I've ever known. But his anger and violence shattered my trust, leaving me wounded and afraid. I wanted to hate him, but the mating bond between us won't be denied. My wolf knows she has found our perfect match. If only my heart could be mended that easily. An ancient evil is coming for me and my newfound pack. Blood and betrayal lurk around every corner. The only way to survive is to embrace the power within, even if it means sacrificing everything I hold dear. Even if it means sacrificing Adam. The beast within presents me an impossible choice: give in to the mate my soul cries out for, or survive an enemy I may not have the strength to defeat. Do I follow my heart into the fire, or turn my back on passion for the sake of victory? All I know is the storm is coming - and this time, I'm ready to rage. My name is Alyssa, and this is my dangerous love. Come howl with me - if you dare! The moon is rising, the battle is just beginning...and my story has yet to be rewritten under starlight's glow.

My seven-year-old daughter stole my carefully crafted The Mystical Bracelet, just to help my husband's childhood friend win an award at the Milaney Jewelry Exhibition. I exposed her in front of everyone, but my husband accused me of falsely accusing her. ''You're just a country woman. How could you possibly make such an expensive piece like The Mystical Bracelet?'' The daughter I had cherished for years looked at me with contempt. ''You're so cruel, not even close to Ms. Elaine in any way.'' They let countless malicious words drown me, and in the process, all my feelings for them—the father and daughter—were completely erased. I left without hesitation, my heart calm and unshaken. From then on, there was no more Mrs. Shaw in Capital City—only Becca, the Pearl Diver.

Torn between two alphas, I must choose: my heart or my duty. The fate of two rival packs rests in my hands—and my heart. As the fabled "Crescent Moon," born of forbidden love, my destiny has always been intertwined with the alphas of the Moonshadow and Silverfang packs. But when the truth of my identity comes to light, hidden enemies emerge to manipulate my fate. Torn between the love of my destined mate and the captivating alpha who has captured my soul, every choice I make could lead to unity or destruction. The future of werewolf-kind depends on who I choose: the alpha I was born to love, or the one who loves me as I am. With mysterious powers I barely understand and a secret that could shatter the truce between packs, following my heart may be the biggest risk of all. But in the end, my power has always been my ability to love without limits. I just have to trust that love will be enough to change the course of destiny—and save those I hold dear. The fate of our kind starts and ends with me, as I stand at the crossroads that will define our future...and choose my one true alpha mate.
