아빠를 보호하려고 나는 악당들에게 무려 10시간 동안 고문을 당했다. 그런데 아빠는 입양딸의 18번째 생일을 축하하고 있었다. 죽기 전에 나는 아빠에게 전화를 걸었다. “아빠, 오늘 내 생일이기도 한데 생일 축하해 줄 수 있어요?” “너는 미친 짐승이야. 생일을 새려고 네 엄마를 죽였어. 그런데도 생일을 챙기려고? 그냥 죽어버려!” 말을 마친 아빠는 주저 없이 전화를 끊어버렸다. 다음 날, 내 시체는 화분에 담겨 경찰서 문 앞에 놓였다. 아빠는 부검을 담당했다. 아빠는 범인이 복수심에 불타 있고, 극히 잔인한 방법으로 경찰의 위엄에 도전했다는 것을 알아차렸다. 하지만 그는 죽은 사람이 그가 가장 미워하는 딸임을 알아채지 못했다.

친구와 뮤직 페스티벌에 가기로 약속한 날 나는 오빠의 첫사랑에 의해 화장실에 갇히고 말았다. “요즘 어린 것들이 왜 이렇게 발랑 까졌는지 몰라. 감히 대표인 내 남자 친구를 꼬셔?” “내가 오늘 너 톡톡히 손봐준다. 부모님이 교육을 그따위로 시켰으면 내가 바로잡아줘야지.” 나는 해명하려 했지만 아무 소용이 없었다. 화장실 대걸레를 빤 물을 내 몸에 뒤집어씌우는가 하면 모두가 보는 앞에서 내 따귀를 후려친 것도 모자라 내 옷을 벗기고 빨갛게 지져진 인두로 내 몸에 ‘빌어먹을 세컨드’라는 글자를 새겼다. 오빠가 도착했을 때 나는 이미 얼굴을 알아볼 수 없을 정도로 망가진 상태였다. “인혁아, 내 말 좀 들어봐. 나는 네 친동생인 줄 정말 몰랐어. 그냥 아끼는 동생이라고 생각했지.”

“I Marcus Brennon of Shadowmoon, hereby reject you as my mate,” he declared with finality. “Not only are you a disgrace to me, but you are a curse to this entire pack.

As Marcus turned to leave, the pain of his rejection sliced deeply through me. I stumbled to my feet, my limbs feeling weak under the weight of the broken bond. *** Bella had it all, a face card that never declined and curves in all the right places, excellent college grades, and a lovely, peaceful home.

Alpha Lennox Steele, nicknamed the Tryant Alpha, was cursed by the moon goddess to never know peace until he found his second chance mate, as punishment for murdering his first mate in cold blood because he saw her as a weakness. Because of the curse, he roamed the lands, forcing each pack to present to him a bride, and if she was unfit, Death, upon her and her pack.

When he saw her, he didn’t have the guts to kill her as planned, the moon goddess had played a cruel joke on him, making him feel twice the bond between them.

“That’s not my baby.” His voice echoed through the room, sharp and cold, slicing through the warm, celebratory atmosphere we’d carefully set up. Everyone went still, and I felt my heart lurch, every beat heavy with disbelief. I stared at him with wide eyes, hoping I’d misheard. “What?” The word barely escaped my lips, a fragile whisper. He didn’t even flinch. “That is not my baby,” he repeated, louder, as if to make sure everyone—his family, all gathered here—would hear. *** Darla was rejected by her fiance three months before her wedding claiming that she was sleeping with other men.

“Do I want a taste?” his voice deeper than he had ever spoken. His eyes pinned on me like I was the only thing that fascinated him. “What do I do?” I thought to myself as he moved closer to me, I wanted to run away, to resist him but I was pinned to the wall by him. “Gosh I hate this man so much” his scent, his body, his beautiful green eyes, he was driving me crazy. I know this is wrong, he has a fiancee and all but that makes me want him even more. “Get on the bed and spread your legs” his cold voice woke me up and then I remembered I was just a maid to him. “Yes master”.

After years of struggling to survive, Akayda Jordan finally lands her dream job — personal assistant/secretary in one of the best companies in the whole of California. To celebrate her new beginning, she decides to give one last “performance” at the elite club she’s about to leave behind. One night. One masked encounter. One forbidden act. But fate twists cruelly. The man she had danced for in the dark turns out to be her new boss — Damian Knight. He’s engaged. She’s desperate to keep her secret buried. But when Damian starts sensing something achingly familiar about his new assistant — the scent of her perfume, the way she looks away when he stares too long — the walls between them begin to crack. But he was sure the girl with the big glasses was not the girl with the mask and firefly tattoo who had woken up a hunger in him. Soon, professionalism turns into tension. Tension turns into temptation. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous her secret becomes. Because if Damian ever discovers she’s the masked girl he’s been searching for… she might lose not just her job, but her heart.

Born with the mark of the crescent, she was a blessed wolf—a wolf who was meant to bring prosperity to her kind and bring them to new heights. But at what cost? She was left to discover that on her own. Seraphine Williams, born a wolf, was raised by humans. She never got the chance to learn about her roots; to connect to her essence, her soul. That was until she met him. Alpha Alaris, feared by the most, was a force to reckon with. He ruled over one of the largest packs in all of Canada with an iron fist. Famous for being cold and ruthless, he was someone with a heart of gold but only for those he held dear to himself. What will happen when a clumsy girl with no knowledge of the werewolf world crosses paths with the most ruthless of the alphas?

My fated mate, Riven, was the Alpha of a pathetic pack on the brink of collapse. For five years, I was his shadow, his strategist. I built his pack from nothing until the Alliance finally recognized us, and we were set to move to the fertile lands. Riven promised we'd have our mating ceremony once we settled in the new territory. But at the celebration feast, the night before the move, he threw me in a cell. He publicly announced that Jenna—the she-wolf carrying his pup—would be the pack's Luna. I couldn't believe it. I screamed at him, but he just sneered and pointed to a crystal pulsing with dark magic. "Jenna already has proof of your betrayal! Sleeping with Alphas for their support. You make me sick!" I begged him. But he just sliced my cheek with the silver-edged rejection letter, formally casting me aside. But he didn't know who I really was. I am the Alpha King's daughter. The strategies, the power, the alliances—they weren't his. They were mine. So I took it all back.
