Lucia I'd lost my parents at a young age, been tossed from one abusive chaotic home to the other until I'd finally decided I couldn't take it anymore and had run away. Only running away had made it worse. **** I'd been stripped to almost nothing because of my stubbornness. My upper body was left uncovered and my breasts were on display, though that was the least of my problems. A tear escaped my eyes then and I watched it fall down to my chest and slide down my exposed breast. I turned to wipe my face with my arm but it barely worked. I was hot and sweaty. My eyes went back to the crowd and my gaze fell on someone sitting at the back. For a second, I forgot how my lungs worked. Bruno Inheriting a ruthless top mafia gang at a very young age did a lot of damage to someone. It certainly did a whole lot of damage to me. Fucked me up so bad I could no longer tell what was right from what was wrong. I didn't give a flying fuck what anyone thought about it. It was who I was now and there was no going back. At least that was what I'd thought. Seeing her up there, hands tied above her head as she waited for whatever asshole was going to buy her at the auction caused some kind of reaction in me. It was enough to tell me that I should probably let someone else buy her so she could be their problem. Unfortunately I'd never been one to stop myself from making a wrong decision. So I bought her anyway. And who would have guessed? She turned out to be the best decision I'd ever made.

Mon frère Dylan, parce que sa maîtresse Rosalie avait exprimé le désir d'assister à une pluie de météores, avait emmené tous ses gardes personnels à la campagne pour lui organiser ce spectacle romantique. Cette nuit-là, des anciens rivaux qu'il avait écrasés en ont profité pour s'introduire chez nous, bien décidés à exterminer toute la famille en guise de vengeance. Ma mère m'a protégée de son corps, subissant des blessures mortelles. J'ai appelé Dylan en pleurs, le suppliant de revenir. Heureusement, il a fini par rentrer avec ses gardes. Les intrus étaient alors capturés, mais des nouvelles horribles nous sont parvenue de la campagne : Rosalie s'était suicidée, laissant une lettre m'accusant d'avoir volontairement éloigné Dylan, ce qui l'avait conduite à être torturée par des ennemis. Dylan a brûlé froidement sa lettre d'adieu tout en murmurant : « Ce n'est pas grave. » Plus tard, notre père, déçu par son comportement, m'a promis la direction de l'entreprise familiale. Mais le soir même, après le banquet de célébration, Dylan est entré dans ma chambre et m'a assassinée. Ses derniers mots ont glacé mon sang : « Une personne aussi malfaisante que toi méritait de mourir ! » « C'est toi qui devrais être mort ! L'héritage me revient de droit ! » Je suis morte les yeux grands ouverts, pleine d'amertume. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux... j'ai entendu à nouveau les intrus défoncer la porte d'entrée...

Après une fausse couche, je suis sortie seule de la chambre et me suis dirigée vers le bureau du médecin où Serge se trouvait. Alors que je levais la main pour frapper à la porte, j'ai entendu leur conversation. Serge : « Enlevez l'utérus de ma femme, je ne veux pas qu'elle me donne un autre enfant. » Il a saisi la femme à ses côtés et l'a conduite devant le médecin, la main caressant son ventre : « Mais l'enfant qu'elle porte, il faut absolument le préserver, c'est mon seul héritier. » Cette femme, je la connaissais bien, c'était Jessica Picard, la secrétaire de Serge depuis trois ans. Il a répété avec sérieux et anxiété ses instructions au médecin : « Utilisez les meilleurs médicaments ! Je ne tolérerai aucun accident ! » J'ai replié ma main, et tout mon corps s'est figé, comme plongé dans un abîme glacé. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que l'homme que j'avais aimé, après avoir perdu notre enfant, prenne une décision aussi cruelle. Je ne pensais pas que ma confiance en lui se transformerait en une lame acérée, qui me poignarderait le cœur... Si l'amour a une autre forme, c'est probablement celle de laisser partir, pour lui permettre d'être heureux.

"You want this right" I hear him say as he trailed his fingers along my thighs setting my body ablaze with his advances. The feel of his cold fingertips along with his long nails left a ticklish feeling as he trailed along my sensitive skin. I couldn't help but let out a loud moan as I felt him place his hands at the meeting of our thighs. His every touch was fire and I was willing to burn in that fire. -- Alyssa - He was a Beast. Vicious. Cold. Cruel. Scary. Dominant. Possessive. There wasn't a single bad word that hadn't been used to describe him. My parents had arranged for him to have been mated to my sister. If she hadn't run away that is. And I ended up being his mate. I was only doing it for the pack. Not for my parents, not for myself, not even for Jenny. Just for the pack. But I hadn't expected that things would turn out the way they eventually did. Rurac - I didn't think I had it in me to fall so madly.That's exactly what had happened with her. I had thought it was just an attraction. Something that would pass with time. But then feelings had gotten involved and before I knew it I'd been completely gone.

Katherine is just a normal girl, who would do anything for her family. Her mother was sick and relied on a certain drug to survive while her younger half brother was still in highschool. Her suffocating life became more harder when her boss' wife found out that she was secretly in love with her husband. Then Katherine also caught the woman cheating on her boss, and things became messy. Rock Figo was a powerful man that loved and respected his wife. He thought she loved him like he did, but all his believes suddenly crumbled when he caught her cheating. And also, his secretary knew about this.

I walked into that pack with one goal, catch a killer. Not fall for the one man I swore I’d never see again. Grayson. Alpha. Arrogant. Dangerous. The same man who hated me for years… and now looks at me like I belong to him. The second our eyes meet, something inside me ignites. The mate bond. A cruel, twisted joke from the universe. Because he’s a werewolf, I’m human, and this kind of bond is forbidden. But when he’s close, logic burns away. His scent seeps under my skin. His touch makes it impossible to breathe. And the way he growls my name… it’s a sin I crave more than air. We’re supposed to be enemies. Instead, we’re tangled in a fire that could ruin us both. The pack is dying. A killer lurks in the shadows. And the Alpha I hate might be the only one who can save me… or destroy me completely. I came to stop a monster. I didn’t expect to fall for one.
