Parting Gift

My wife’s new assistant recently celebrated his birthday, and she splurged on a villa as a gift to him. On the day he moved in, the assistant, Zachary Shaw, bragged on Instagram with a post and captioned: [Bagged myself a sugar mommy, just FYI.] My wife, Ivy Bennett, commented on the post: [Happy birthday, my dear Zacky! 🫰] The photo was Zachary wrapping his arm around my wife’s slender waist, looking incredibly intimate. The work group chat blew up at once. Everyone expressed their envy toward Zachary, singing his praises for being so promising at such a young age. Then, my childhood friend, Autumn Sinclair, tagged me in the group chat and teased, [Love is a blinding green light. Your wife’s cheating on you so hard it glows. Congrats, Julian!] I smiled wryly and stubbed out my cigarette. Slowly, I typed my reply, [Want a house, Autumn? I’ll get you one too, better than her gift to him.]

Imagine being considered so useless that the first time someone asks for you as a gift, you're actually given to them. That was Rina's reality. She was considered the cursed daughter of a traitorous father and weak mother. Her red hair, which grows back rapidly after being cut was considered a proof of that curse by some. On the night she was born, the Sauna pack faced its most brutal attack and this tragic event was directly linked to her birthing. But when powerful twin princes Kendrick and Rowland show up to discuss pack business and their eyes catch the supposed cursed girl, life for Rina becomes different. One prince wants her to be his breeder and one claims that he is fated to her. The prince who lays claim to her first by demanding her from her alpha will own her. So when the first prince asks for her, she is given to him as a gift, and that's where her story begins.

Lyra always receives mysterious gifts on her annual birthday, but these gifts are all compassionate. Who gave Lyra a gift?

A fated mate is the ultimate gift from the Moon Goddess and Bridgette is willing to wait, forever if need be. In her mind, she would prefer to be alone than ever chose a mate. Born in privilege, her father is becoming restless and is forcing his independent daughter to settle down with a man of his choosing, causing Bridgette to flee across the Ocean and escape her own family, where she will finally find her fated mate! Lucca is the strong and generous Alpha that every woman prays will chose as them as his future mate and Luna, however nothing could be further from Lucca’s mind. He is all about work, running his elaborate construction company like a well-oiled machine it is. Designing some of the east coasts most sophisticated mansions, and he has no temperament for games. Entirely content to remain alone until fate may intervene in the love department. The sparks fly quickly between the fated pair, although they have a significantly rocky start. They both become grateful for each other and the Moon Goddess’s gift, until that gift is jeopardized by a widowed Alpha, searching to fill that missing piece of himself and sets his sights onto Bridgette. His madness causes chaos, tragedy, and heartbreak to all when he decides to create a breeding program of the most gifted females and devoid his pack of ever suffering from the mate bond ever again. Will Bridgette and Lucca be able to save their own fates and retain their cherished mate bond, or will it be destroyed by a cynical deranged Alpha whose own pain cascades to all he meets? Will love conquer all, or will the struggle between madness and duty dissolve and force the couple to reject one another?

“Spread for us, Aurora,” he ordered, his palm cracking down on my right cheek in a sharp spank that made me yelp, the sting blooming into heat. I widened my stance, trembling, my pussy exposed and dripping. Kai stepped up behind me, his hands gripping my hips, thumbs digging into the soft flesh as he inspected me. “Look at her, Alpha…so wet already. This omega's been dreaming of our cocks.” His fingers trailed down, parting my folds roughly, two digits plunging into my soaked entrance without warning. ~ This is filthy, unfiltered, and raw, a collection of steamy werewolf tales designed to make you writhe.

“Do you have anything to say?”,he said and I stared at it for few seconds. I wanted to be the one on my knees so bad. I wanted to be fucked hard by him...but I was married. "Fuck Jason, he left me before I could reach my release anyways, he doesn't have to know about this", I thought. "Fuck me..hard, make me cum as hard as you can", I muttered, my own voice, barely audible, dripping with a want I no longer cared to hide. A slow, dangerous smile touched his lips and he closed the distance between us, his warm hands cupped my jaw, his thumb brushing over my bottom lip. “Open.”, he said and I obeyed, parting my lips. ****** A birthday betrayal leads Andrea into a stranger's’s arms.

After setting a date with my online boyfriend to meet in person on New Year's Eve, I prepare a dress that will drive him mad. I also prepare a gift for him. To my surprise, he brings his twin brother with him. That's not all—he's only reserved one hotel room. I laugh when I see the identical faces before me.

Everyone in New York knew I was the Godfather’s heart. Gavin Whitestone’s heart. He loved me for ten years. He’d fly into a rage if I so much as got a paper cut. But he’s the one who gave me these three scars. The first time, he pulled every doctor to treat Sofia, the girl who took a bullet for him, and ignored the shrapnel tearing into my side. The second time, he was drugged and fucking Sofia in his bed. When I walked in on them, he shoved me aside, desperately carrying her to the hospital. The third time, he took my father's last gift to me—a revolver—and gave it to a pregnant Sofia, just to make her smile. He told me, “It’s all for the baby. Once the baby is born, we’ll go back to how we were.” But this time, I didn't forgive him. I threw away every gift he ever gave me and vanished without a trace. And that’s when the untouchable Godfather finally broke.
