Natty Sixteen

I sensed his presence before I ever saw him, my mate... I looked up to meet amber eyes gazing at me confidently. Zane Black, Alpha of the Blue moon pack, was gorgeous, powerful and just what every woman dreamed of… or so he thought. “Hello, mate...” he said with a smirk. I looked at him blankly for a moment before I slowly smirked at him. “I reject you, Mr. Alpha,” I said in a bored tone. His brows furrowed as he stared at me uncomprehendingly. Then slowly realization dawned and his expression changed to disbelief, pain and finally rage.  “You reject me? You think I am not worthy to be your mate? I promise you, the day will come when you will beg for my love. You will regret rejecting me. That day, I will be the one who will have the last laugh,” he vowed. “Let’s see, Alpha. I will just tell you one thing. I, Kayla Xanders, had never ever tasted defeat in my life till day,” I said confidently.  I watched his eyes go wide in shock as he heard my name. Before he could reply, I turned, and walked away from him. Bring it on, Alpha. Let the games begin. __________________ An unexpected rogue attack changed the life of Kayla Xanders. She lost her family as well as half of her pack. At just sixteen, she took over as the Alpha of the Crescent moon pack and vows to avenge the murder of her family. Seven years later, she had become a ruthless Alpha, feared and respected by all. When she meets her mate, Zane, a playboy with an attitude, she rejects him outright. Soon, they start their games against each other. Why did she really reject Zane? And will he ever win her over? 

“You can play Priest for as long as you like,” he spat, ignoring my protests, “but you will never find salvation.” His words struck like a curse, but that wasn’t the reason my chest heaved, goosebumps littered my skin, and definitely not the reason I felt hot despite the chilling dip from the lake. Ezreal’s eyes widened momentarily, noticing. I winced as his hand shifted, pressing against the stiff betrayal straining against my soaked robes. He stilled for only a second, then a wicked grin overtook his features. “Well, well,” Ezreal drawled, his voice taunting “Look who’s getting excited,” “Stop,” I gasped, squeezing my eyes shut as the humiliation dug deep. “Please….” He leaned forward, his breath hot as his lips ghosted over the shell of my ear. “I will taint you so bad,” he whispered, his hand tightening against my crotch. “So bad you won’t have the courage to stand on the altar you abandoned me for.” ****** At sixteen, Ezreal Vossell took the fall for a murder to protect the only boy he ever loved—Baron Lander, the timid son of the town’s high priest. A known delinquent, the bastard child of the mayor, but the only one who saw him for his true self was Baron. Ezreal made the ultimate sacrifice, and all he wanted in return was Baron’s support. But alas, on the day of the trial, Baron betrayed him, casting him aside to please his father. Ezreal was sentenced to life in prison, his heart shattered beyond repair. Fifteen years later, he was released, but gone was the naive sixteen-year-old. He’s returned as the ruthless leader of a mafia syndicate, and with all the power and wealth at his fingertips, he yearned for one thing alone. Revenge.

Scarlet Quinn Reyes, at the age of sixteen, she was infamous for being a liberated playgirl. Boyfriend here, boyfriend there. Basta mayaman at kayang ibigay ang mga luho niya, pasado na iyon sa standards niya. Para sa kaniya, ang mundo ay isang malaking playground. Kayang-kaya niyang paikutin sa palad ang mga lalaki na para bang mga laruan. Her usual targets were much older men. She faked her age, even her personality, just to get what she wanted. Not until Renzo Riku Alcantara came into the picture. He was Scarlet sister’s cousin-in-law, known for being kind and responsible. Bukod pa roon, siya rin ay ubod ng yaman at hindi rin maitatanggi ang angkin nitong kakisigan—mga katangian na nagtulak kay Scarlet para siya ang susunod na targetin. But unlike the men Scarlet had toyed with, Renzo was not swayed by her charm. Ang gusto pa nga niya ay ituwid ang landas ng dalaga para magbago ito. Nagpakakuya siya kay Scarlet, tipong halos lahat ng mga nagiging kasintahan ng dalaga ay ipinapakulong niya. Sa sobrang pagdidisiplina niya kay Scarlet, hindi niya namalayang sarili na pala niya ang dapat disiplinahin... dahil unti-unti na siyang nahuhulog sa dalaga. Ngunit pinigilan niya ang damdamin dahil bata pa ito. Nagpakalayo-layo siya. Saka lang siya bumalik noong debut party ni Scarlet. Ang kaso… buntis na ang dalaga. Ngunit iniwan siya ng tunay na ama ng dinadala niya, kaya si Renzo mismo ang umako at nagpaka-responsable sa bata. Pero sa pagbabalik ng tunay na ama, pipiliin kaya siya ni Scarlet... o mananatili siya kay Renzo?
