Feathered Cut

The fifth year of my marriage to Silas marked a turning point I would never forget. Our son, Yael, was kidnapped. The ransom was set at ten million dollars, an insignificant amount for Silas, yet his response chilled me to the core. “No rush. A Gardner needs to experience some hardships to grow.” Ten million meant nothing to him, but Yael’s life meant everything to me. I dropped to my knees, tears streaming down my face, and begged him relentlessly, pleading for Yael to be brought home as soon as possible. Silas, however, remained unmoved. Three days later, Yael was returned to us, but the cheerful boy I knew was gone. He had been so traumatized that he could not speak. Far from showing concern, Silas coldly remarked, “Yuna said Yael keeps telling everyone at school she’s a fatherless child. Let’s see how he spreads lies now.” His words cut through me like a knife. I picked Yael up in my arms and whispered softly in his ear, “Don’t be afraid, Yael. Mommy will take you away from here.”

‘Even the wildest of beasts, can be tamed.’ They called him the Mad Alpha, a name he’d earned after turning against his own father, dethroning him and claiming his title, all out of his hunger for power. His name alone struck fear in the hearts of even the bravest, no one was foolish enough to cross him, well except one with a death wish. Kate had just escaped a toxic marriage, all she wanted was a fresh start, but fate clearly had other plans for her. She’s met with the greatest shock of her life; she’s the Mad Alpha’s second chance mate. She would never survive him, that was a fact. Good thing the Mad Alpha had very high standards. She’d never make the cut, at least not with all the rumors of her infertility and divorce going around, but she’s about be met with yet another surprise. ~ “I don’t need a guardian. I can handle myself just fine against any attacker.” “You might be right about that, but it’s not them you’ll be needing protection from.”

"You're not avoiding me after this... are you?" he asked hoarsely. I stopped breathing when I felt how close his mouth was to my ear. The heat started to radiate in my body. His voice and his closeness are starting to make me weak. I would have fallen on my knees if he isn't holding me. "N-No... I won't. I p-promise," I stuttered. "Good girl." ********** HOWL SERIES #1 Lucien Hellion Salvatorri is the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack. He did everything to be the Alpha his people deserve, but it is not enough.

Rena had never imagined how in only a few years, everything could change. Dealing with horrific heartache at the hands of the human prince, Blaine; and knowing that the whole of the Seven Realms were so very close to the start of a war. Prince Dorian had cut all ties and peace treaties from the other Six Realms. Rena's own father, the king of the Elven Realm, had drastically changed how he ruled his kingdom all because of a new advisor who was as mysterious as he was evil and cunning. Rena only hoped that maybe her older siblings would be able to find love and happiness in whatever romance the Fates had planned for them. Her own love had been destroyed, but how could the Fates be so cruel? What other plans did the Seven have for an Elven princess who still often pined for a human prince when he had cast her aside so easily? And would this Elven princess ever know truly, how much her human prince pined after his lost princess? Could they help their kingdoms stave off a war that could destroy everything?

My husband Bill and his beautiful assistant Doris are laughing and eating like they're on a first date. But the joke is on me... I'm here, Bill's wife, watching them from across the room, tending to my flat belly where a little life is now living. Of course, Bill doesn’t know about the baby yet. The news is still fresh in my mind, barely a few hours old. It is supposed to be a family dinner gathering, but I'm never the welcome one but an outsider. Watching Bill take the steak cut and handed over by Doris, his young age best friend who knows him the best, I guess I'm spoiling their fun by telling them now that I'm having a baby. Three years of marriage, and his frequent absences from the family left me feeling overwhelmed and alone. I've even forgotten the reason we got married. Maybe it was a mistake to begin with. Finally, I made a decision. Divorce. But a man came along and shifted things dramatically. And it didn't occur to me that this man was still deeply connected to bill's family. He was Bill's uncle.

"Why? Why does it matter so much to you?" “Because,” I said quickly, searching for the right words. “Because people like me... we don’t belong with people like you. You’re... you’re powerful, and I’m—” “Beautiful,” he cut me off, his voice firm. I froze, my words dying on my lips. “What?” I whispered. “You’re beautiful, Sophia,” he said again, his tone softer this time. “And I’m tired of pretending I don’t notice it. You think being a maid defines you, but it doesn’t. Not to me.”
