He stepped closer to me, his breath hot against my neck. “Say it Miss Taylor, and I will make you forget my brother ever existed.” His low husky voice vibrated through my core, my body shivered. The way his intimidating eyes burned into my soul, I knew he meant every word he said. He was yet to touch me, yet my legs wobbled under his mere gaze, my knees too weak to carry my body. That's when it dawned on me; Jaxon West was not a man, he was a walking seduction. Just a single glance from those eyes, and I could feel the wetness between my thighs. ** Ava Taylor has always been in love with her childhood best friend, Liam West, the charming, golden boy who could do no wrong. It was her secret, sadly he didn’t feel the same way for her. After a devastating break up, Ava hopes he could finally notice her. When he receives an invitation to his Ex’s engagement ceremony with his Cousin, he pleads with Ava to be his pretend girlfriend so as to make her jealous. But when she arrives at his Family’s old house, she meets his Magnetic older brother Jax, and things spiral out of control.  Finding her in his brother’s bed, Liam is jealous and realizes his own desire for Ava. Now the two brothers want her, and she must choose between them. But what if she can’t make a choice? What if she wants both of them? The sexy masculine cowboy and the football icon! Sounds like the beginning of a reverse harem. Note: This book contains mature/controversial content. It's not your regular romance book, it might just take a very dark turn! (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠)

SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK FIVE ~ *If you haven't read books 1-4, I highly recommend starting the series with Alpha Gray and reading the prior books in order (Gray, Theo, Jax, Brock) for context before starting this one* REID : I've always exercised complete control in all things. When it comes to my pack, I'm in control as its Alpha. In everyday life, I follow a schedule and value structure and discipline. My friends think I stick too close to the rules, but maintaining order and being in control are the key things that keep me grounded. That's part of the reason why the wait for my fated mate has been so frustrating- because it's the one thing I have no control over. And when I finally meet her, I quickly realize she's equally as uncontrollable, as is the bond between us. I've been waiting all my life for Serena, but when she shows up on the eve of a war, can I really trust her? And if so, will I ever be able to conquer her chaos? ~ SERENA : They say life is full of choices, but mine were stripped from me the moment my pack was attacked and my family was killed. Since then, I've been on autopilot, just doing what I have to do to survive. That is, until the last thing I expect to happen, does; I stumble upon my fated mate. I suddenly have a choice again- give in to the mate bond between Reid and I, or risk losing it all. Can I trust him with my secrets, and can he handle them? Once he knows the truth, will he even still want me? It's an impossible choice, because no matter which one I make, I may still lose everything…

Ever since I was little, I knew my future mate would be one of two Alpha candidates: Mitchell or Jax. Even with all their Alpha pride, I never once doubted that set future. The pack elders always said it was natural for Alpha candidates to focus on getting stronger and controlling the pack. My mother, Lyra, even told me that every brutal fight they got into was so the winner could give me, their Luna, the ultimate honor. That is, until I and Elara – this Omega stray they'd taken in – got ambushed and captured by our old enemies, the Nightshade pack. Mitchell and Jax only had enough of the life-saving Moonpetal herb for one of us. And they both chose to give it to Elara. To save myself in that fire, I forced a shift. The power surge was too much. The heat twisted my cheekbone, and just like that, I was disfigured. After they dragged me out – like an afterthought – I watched those two future Alphas crying over Elara, who didn't have a scratch on her. "Thank the Moon Goddess, Elara, you're alive." "Once we sort out who's the new Alpha of Blackwood, whoever it is will give you the most honored spot right under the Luna, Elara. Don't you worry. We'll give you the best of everything our pack has, make sure you never suffer again." "Elara, you're the real Luna in our hearts." When I came to, I cut off that ridiculous mate bond for good. Empty promises and a trampled destiny? I was done with it. But after I left, they stayed by my cave every day, begging me to come back.

Mi novio insistió en escalar de noche la montaña nevada para ver la cascada. Ese mismo día, resbalé y caí desde la cima. Al despertar, descubrí que no solo sufría amnesia, sino que también había perdido una pierna. Incluso mi novio se había convertido en el esposo de mi hermana. De repente, todos me abandonaron.

Pero seis meses después de casarnos, lo escuché por casualidad hablando con su amigo: —Samuel, parece que la hipnosis de este año ha sido un éxito. Ya ayudaste a Valeria a obtener lo que quería, ¿para qué dar un paso más y casarte con Sofía? —¿Crees que lo deseaba? Es solo por si recupera la memoria y podría hacerle daño a Valeria. Así la vigilo de cerca. —¿Merece la pena hacer tanto por Valeria? Ya antes limpiaste todos sus desastres, ¿y ahora usas a Sofía para eso…? —Haría lo que fuera con tal de ver feliz a Valeria. Samuel apagó el cigarrillo con fuerza y, tras un largo silencio, respondió lentamente: —Además, solo es prestar un vientre… ¡Aprovechar lo inservible!

Para salvar os três homens mais importantes da minha vida, fiz um acordo com a Deusa da Lua. Trocar minha vida pela deles. Se eu pudesse fazer qualquer um deles me amar de verdade em cinco anos, eu teria o direito de viver. Mas no último dia da contagem regressiva, todos os três ainda tinham sentimentos negativos por mim. De acordo com as regras, eu havia falhado. Minha vida estava prestes a ser apagada. — Deusa da Lua, eu poderia enviar uma última mensagem? Uma tentativa final? Talvez por pena, ela me concedeu esta última chance. Esta mensagem era meu tiro final. Eu apertei o botão de voz em nosso bate-papo em grupo, lutando para manter minha voz firme. — Vocês poderiam me amar só um pouquinho? Eu realmente vou morrer. Após um momento de silêncio, veio o riso impiedoso deles. — Você fará qualquer coisa para competir com Lidia por atenção, não fará? — Pare com as mentiras. Isso só faz com que te odiemos mais. — Se você está tão desesperada para morrer, então faça isso de uma vez. Missão falhada. Eu lhes dei exatamente o que queriam. Mas quando eu estava prestes a morrer, todos eles surtaram.

Tapi saat kekasih masa kecilnya, Olivia Kartika yang gemerlap dan penuh keistimewaan itu kembali, aku akhirnya mengerti, aku hanya sementara. Jadi aku memainkan langkah terakhirku. Aku menyodorkan dokumen di atas mejanya, gugatan cerai yang kusamarkan sebagai formulir universitas rutin.

Meu pai nos levou ao mercado negro para escolher um par de gêmeos como nossos guarda-costas. Minha mana escolheu primeiro o irmão mais velho, alto e forte, e me deixou com o caçula, o "mudo" que mal respirava. Com pena dele, acabei deixando que ficasse ao meu lado. Ele não falava, então eu o levava para procurar médicos e remédios. Ele tinha uma mania séria de limpeza, então eu mantinha distância. Eu achava que ele só tinha passado por algum trauma para ficar daquele jeito. Até que os inimigos do meu pai sequestraram a mim e à minha mana. E ele me largou para trás, escolhendo sem hesitar morrer bloqueando a bala pela minha mana. Antes de morrer, ele falou pela primeira vez, com os olhos vermelhos, olhando para ela: — Finalmente você pode me ver. E, para mim, ele disse: — Na próxima vida... por favor, não me escolha. Só então percebi que ele não era mudo, nem tinha mania de limpeza. Esse "mudo" e essa "mania" eram só para mim e mais ninguém. Quando abri os olhos de novo, voltei ao dia em que fomos escolher os guarda-costas. Desta vez, fiz exatamente como ele queria.

"You think you can hunt us in our own territory, little star?" Cain's voice is velvet wrapped around steel as he and his brothers flank me in the shadowy alley. "We know exactly who you are." I was a cop. Then my brother's mutilated corpse turned up in a ditch and every piece of blood-soaked evidence screamed the Vultures MC's name. Three ruthless brothers who ruled through fear, pain, and absolute dominance. So I dyed my hair blonde, erased my identity, and walked straight into the devil's den. Their bar. Their territory. Their world of sin and savagery. I'd destroy them from within or die trying. But nothing prepared me for Cain's predatory stare that strips me bare with a glance. Or Jax's twisted smile that promises delicious torment. Or Ryder's brutal hands that pin me against cold brick while his breath burns against my neck, whispering dark threats that make my body betray every principle I've ever held. Now I'm drowning in their intoxicating darkness. Leather, blood, and raw masculine hunger that consumes everything in its path. They're marking me, claiming me, breaking me down piece by piece until I can't remember who I was before them. When I finally uncover the shocking truth about my brother's murder, everything I believed shatters. The real killer has been hiding in plain sight, and now I'm caught between two deadly worlds. My oath as a cop and my surrender to these beautiful monsters. But when the lines blur between justice and vengeance, between duty and desire, how far will I fall before I lose myself completely?
