Future Starts Slow Lyrics

Nathaniel Crowe has everything a man wish for, wealth, influence and a reputation powerful enough to silence any room he walks in. To the world, he is a successful billionaire CEO who has mastered control in both business and life but behind the perfect image lies a secret he can't escape. He is living under the shadow of a curse tied to a last life he barely remembers, a curse that threatens to destroy not only his future but his very existence. Iris Moore lives a completely different reality. Struggling to make ends meet, she has grown used to disappointment yet her life takes an unexpected turn when she is suddenly pulled into Nathaniel's world through a contract marriage that feels more like fate than a coincidence. As they begin living under the same roof, strange dreams, unexplained emotions and fragments of their memories starts to resurface, revealing a connection that goes beyond their present lives. But love is never simple when destiny is involved. Now Iris must decide if she is willingly to stand with the man whose life is surrounded by danger and Nathaniel must learn power means nothing if he cannot protect the one person who might be his only salvation. Sometimes, love is not just about the present. Sometimes it's about rewriting fate.

Sofía Adams had everything under control: a brilliant career as a doctor, a marriage that seemed solid, and a future that promised stability. However, her life collapses when she discovers that her husband, the powerful CEO Matt Stone, is cheating on her with his secretary, Anaís, and planning to build his legacy without her. What Matt never expected was that Sofía would not be a weak woman willing to disappear in silence. After a public divorce, a carefully executed media manipulation, and a pregnancy turned into a weapon of war, Sofía enters a dangerous game where revenge, power, and strategy intertwine. With the help of Leandro Ricci, an enigmatic businessman connected to the Italian mafia, Sofía begins to dismantle Matt’s life piece by piece: his company, his reputation, and his future. While Matt and Anaís struggle to survive by forming alliances with dangerous forces in Asia, Sofía learns the rules of true power: to anticipate, manipulate, and strike where it hurts the most. Guided by Matteo Ricci and supported by Leandro, she starts building her own legacy—one that seeks not only justice, but absolute control. In a world where betrayal is paid in blood and mistakes are never forgiven, Sofía must decide how far she is willing to go. Because when the past returns demanding revenge and the enemy is still breathing, there are only two options: fall… or become unstoppable.

Story description Elara grew up as the unwanted girl of her pack. Weak, bullied, and called cursed, she never believed she had a place among them. But on the night of the Choosing, everything changed. The Moon Goddess marked her as the true mate of Alpha Damien, the strongest and coldest alpha in the land. But Damien does not want her. He hates the bond, hates the idea of fate, and hates that his Luna is the girl everyone calls weak. He swears to never love her, only to keep her as a Luna for the sake of tradition. Thrown into a world of power, betrayal, and deadly trials, Elara must fight to survive. The pack whispers against her. Jealous rivals like Clara want her destroyed. Even her best friend Aria is hiding a secret she cannot see. And when Elara starts having visions of the past and future, she learns a truth more painful than rejection: her parents were murdered by Damien’s father, the former alpha. Now she must decide—will she bow and remain the weak girl they all laugh at, or will she rise and claim the strength the Moon Goddess gave her? This is a story of pain, betrayal, power, and forbidden love. One girl chosen by the Moon Goddess. One alpha who refuses to love her. One pack full of secrets. And a bond that will either break them—or set them free.

But no matter where it is planted, a poisonous plant will always leave its trail morbid.

Fate has offered a second chance, but there’s always a price. Years ago, Claire’s sister loved Bodie’s brother enough to elope with him. Humans and wolf-shifters aren’t allowed to mate, but they would have defied convention if a terrible car accident hadn’t killed the young lovers and left Claire scarred and broken. She never confessed her crush to Bodie, but he knew and didn’t act on it then. She was too young and too human back then. Now, she copes by hiding from the world. When future Alpha Bodie comes back into her life, it forces her to truly live again. The attraction sparks anew, and he sees her beauty inside and out. There might finally be a chance for happiness, but old prejudices remain on both sides. The mysterious Human Purity Movement starts harassing the shifter sanctuary town of Northstar, and the pack responds. With intolerance on both sides trying to pull them apart, Claire and Bodie cling desperately to each other. She’s determined not to lose him, and he swears he’ll walk away from everything for her. They’re committed, but the final test facing them is the worst, and it could be enough to pull them apart and destroy the entire shifter community.

Aliyah Haven was only 17 when her struggling family made the difficult decision to give her away to Pedro Perez, a cold and calculating billionaire heir. This transaction was disguised as a marriage, but it was filled with underlying motives. In exchange for money and a better future, her family sacrificed her innocence. Pedro was in need of a male heir to secure his dying father's empire, something his barren wife could not provide. Aliyah became the perfect pawn in his plan. After giving birth to a son, Andre, she was cast aside — her baby taken, her life shattered. Left to rot while Pedro returned to his wife, she swore revenge. Ten years later, Aliyah returns as a new woman — refined, brilliant, and wealthy in her own right. She’s no longer the naive girl who was bought.

Anastasia Blomqvist isn’t the typical billionaire heiress and everyone loves reminding her.

But when her family won’t stop meddling in her love life, Anastasia decides to handle it like a real businesswoman. By hiring the perfect fake boyfriend. Bram Kent. Ex-hockey star, devastatingly handsome, extremely charming and newly broke. The deal is simple: family dinners, public appearances and no real feelings. Until Bram starts going off script. Flirting harder and getting closer than anticipated. He starts changing her life without meaning to. And somewhere between the act and the attraction, Anastasia starts to wonder: Are we still pretending?

Zack clears his throat. "We have been dreaming about Brandon Snow." "Ahhh," Lucille says, smiling and nodding her head. "The future Beta. And a white wolf to boot. Your future pups will be quite beautiful with Charlie's chocolate coloring and Zak's reddish hue. The three of you will make wonderful parents." Zak's mouth drops open and Charlie squeaks out, "Our future... pups!" "What do you know of Selene and her mates?" Lucille asks. "Mates? I only know of one mate. Pan," Charlie says. "As the god of the wild and the goddess of the moon, Pan and Selene's children became werewolves. Wild creatures who were controlled by the moon." "Ahhh. Is that what they are teaching the young pups now? That Selene only had one mate? I knew that they didn't want mate trios any longer, but I didn't know that they would attempt to change even Selene's story," Lucille chuckles. "Alpha, Luna, do you truly believe that if there was no humanity in their coupling that we would be human at all?" "Wait. What?" Zak says. "If we were only children of Pan and Selene, we would always be wild creatures. Nymphs, satyrs, centaurs. But we aren't. Of course, we could remain in our wolf form all the time if we wish, but we always have the ability to shift into human form. No, young ones, Selene had two mates. One, the god Pan. The other, a human man named Endymion. We get our wolves from Pan, our pull to the moon from Selene, and our human selves from Endymion," Lucille says. "Why..." Zak licks his lips and starts again. "Why weren't we told this?" "Ahhh," Lucille breathes out, taking a sip of her coffee. "Because not every wolf has two mates, as Selene did. As you two do."

I despised Dante Moretti long before he slid that ring onto my finger. Arrogant. Controlling. The kind of boss who could ruin my day with a single clipped order. I hated the way he spoke to me. I hated the way he watched me more. But walking into my hometown with his ring and watching my ex-husband’s face drain of color felt wickedly perfect. The elders wanted to see real love before selling their land. So Dante and I lied. We played the sweet couple. Except Dante didn’t touch me like a man pretending. At the Christmas market, his hand slid down my spine and stopped right where it shouldn’t. At dinner, he whispered against my ear, “If he’s watching, spread your legs a little. Let him see who owns you now.” I should have slapped him. Instead, my body answered him before I could breathe. He kissed my temple too slow and held my waist too tight. When the lights dimmed, he murmured, “Open for me.” “Keep your eyes on me.” “I want you shaking for me, not for him.” Somewhere between hating him and wanting him to wreck me, everything blurred. Because the man who barked orders in boardrooms had me whispering his name in the dark, Christmas lights flickering over his bare shoulders while he swallowed every sound I made. My ex wanted me broken. Dante wanted me ruined, but only beneath him. And the worst part was how easily I let him. Santa didn’t bring me a miracle. He gave me a sin in a three piece suit and I tore the wrapping off with trembling hands. As book one ends, book two: ON YOUR KNEES MR. BILLIONAIRE starts immediately
