“I don’t mix business with pleasure. Ever” that was the first thing he said to me. Marcus Wayne, he was arrogant, a playboy, handsome as the day is long, one of the most eligible bachelors in the city and also my boss so I didn’t mind. But that didn’t stop me from crushing on him, falling for him and ultimately falling into his bed. It was one night only, or so I thought, because now I’m pregnant and he wont let me go. One problem, I’m not sure I want him to.

He kidnapped me, he lured me, he tormented me day and night, HE RAPED ME. I had no choice but to abide with his demonic rules and give myself to him. Kahit anong gawin ko ay hindi ko kayang makatakas mula sa impyernong kinalalagyan ko. I suffered day and night until I got the chance to ran away from him. I ran away with the biggest secret na ako lamang ang nakakaalam. Now I'm free from my tormentor, I'm finally free from Gene Marcus Carter.

Ang misyon lang ni Solenn nung una ay ang akitin ang batang bilyonaryo kaya ito nagtrabaho bilang isang sekretarya sa Walton Corporation. "Anong ibig sabihin nito?" Galit na galit at kunot noo na pagtatanong ng chairman sa harap nila Solenn at Marcus habang dumausdos sa lamesa ang mga stolen shot na mga litrato nilang dalawa na magkasama. "May relasyon kayo? Halos mapatid ang litid ng matanda sa loob ng meeting room na yon. "Mauubusan tayo ng investors sa ginagawa mong kahihiyan?" Hasik pa ng chairman matapos nitong pukpukin ang lamesa na nasa harapan. Nakaramdam ng awa si Solenn sa bilyonaryong boss nya na katabi. Alam nyang wala siyang karapatang maramdaman yon sa lalaki dahil kabahagi siya ng plano at bayad siya para dito. Nakita nyang halos hindi maipinta ang mukha ng binata sa harap ng kanyang lolo. Tumikhim lang si Marcus ng walang kakurap kurap, inayos ang sarili sa pagkakaupo. Itinaas ang ulo mula sa pagkakayuko at hinarap ang chairman. "Solenn!" Buong loob na pagtawag nya sa sekretarya. "Sir?" Tila maamong tupang pagtugon ni Solenn.Walang halos makalabas na boses mula sa kanya. "Ikansel mo lahat ng commitment ko this week," at mataman itong tinitigan ang dalaga sa harap ng matandang lalaki. "Pakakasalan kita, bukas na bukas din." "Ha?" Gulat na gulat na pagtatanong ni Solenn. Nanatili siyang nakatulala sa narinig. Tumayo ng dahan dahan ang binata , naglakad ng mabilis at hinawakan ang door knob ng conference room. "Iuuwi na rin kita sa condo!" Ani ni Marcus bago lumabas ng pinto. Ano daw? Hindi makapaniwala si Soleen sa narinig. Napahawak ang dalaga sa sariling dibdib at nag unahang umagos ang mga luha sa kanyang pisngi na kanina pa nya pilit na pinipigilan. Ano na ang gagawin nya? Gulong gulo siya napahawak sa ulo. Pano na? Pagtatanong pa nya sa sarili.

Ethan, mi cachorro de apenas tres años, se metió por error en territorio errante y lo mataron de forma brutal. Cuando me dieron la noticia, perdí el sentido. Desperté y vi a Alexander, mi pareja Alfa, apretándome la mano con fuerza. Tenía la voz ronca por la tristeza. —Te juro que voy a vengar a Ethan. Voy a despedazar a esos malditos errantes con mis propias manos. Pero tres días después, en el entierro, escuché por casualidad una conversación entre Alexander y Marcus, su Beta. —En serio no entiendo. —Marcus sonaba confundido—. ¿Por qué no dejó que el sanador de la manada ayudara a Ethan? Estaba herido de gravedad, pero vivo. Si hubiéramos actuado a tiempo... —Fue Lucas. Empujó a Ethan hacia territorio errante por accidente. —Alexander sonaba dolorido—. Lucas es solo un niño y no conocía las fronteras. No fue su intención. —Si hubiera dejado que el sanador lo salvara, el niño le habría contado la verdad a todo el mundo. Sophia terminaría en la cárcel y el Consejo condenaría a muerte a Lucas. No podía permitir que eso pasara —continuó Alexander. —¿Qué pasará con el heredero de la manada? —preguntó Marcus, preocupado. —Eso no importa. —El tono de Alexander recuperó una calma—. En cuanto Ivy se tranquilice, traeré a Lucas. Diremos que es un huérfano adoptado y ella misma se encargará de criar al siguiente Alfa. Así que el que mató a mi cachorro fue el bastardo que tuvo con su amante. Mi cachorro pudo haberse salvado, pero Alexander sacrificó a mi Ethan por su bastardo. Marqué un número al que no había llamado en cinco años. —Soy yo. Ivy. —Cambié de opinión. —Yo sonaba firme y no mostraba ninguna emoción—. Voy a regresar para heredar la Manada Imperial. —¿Y qué pasará con la Manada Moonstone? —Quiero que la Manada Moonstone sea destruida.

"See you in hell, dear sister." Her sister’s voice was filled with a sickly sweet anticipation. Rowan closed her eyes, waiting for the Twin Alphas to end her misery. She had been branded a traitor, replaced by her own twin, and abandoned by her mate. Death was a mercy she prayed for. But the blade never came. Julian and Marcus Knox, the most feared Alphas in Moon Haven, didn't kill her. They wanted something else. "She is no longer a member of this pack," they declared, their dark gaze stripping her bare. "From this moment on, she is our breeder."
