I'm leaving. “Oh no you don't. Come here.” He grabbed me, then pushed me to the wall. My wrists were suddenly above my head, My chest rose and fell erratically in anticipation.

as soon as I stepped out of the villa, it felt like I’d walked straight into a nightmare. Hector, the man I’d missed so much, was surrounded by soldiers, passionately kissing some woman I’d never seen before. The cheers and whistles around them felt like knives stabbing into my heart. I froze, my happiness turning into icy disappointment and rage. I forced myself to walk closer, even though every step felt like I was wading through quicksand. As more people noticed me, the noise died down, like someone had hit the mute button. Hector and his mystery woman were still in their own world until they finally sensed the eerie silence and pulled apart.

Holding the woman’s hand, he approached me. “Elena, this is Vanessa, she’s—” Before he could finish, Vanessa flashed a confident smile and offered her hand to me. “Hi, I’m Vanessa, Hector’s partner. We fell in love on the battlefield.”

She just wanted to stop running. But she ended up running into the wrong wolf. At seventeen, Mia just wanted to finish high school without having to disappear in the middle of the night once again. But her life had always been like that: sudden escapes, new cities, and secrets her mother refused to explain. Everything changes when, after the tragic death of her grandparents and a violent crisis that almost destroys her, Mia is taken to Forks—an isolated town where the man Elisa swears is the only one who can save her lives: her father. What Mia didn't expect was to discover that she wasn't entirely human. Nor that her blood would awaken an ancient instinct that should not be stirred. Especially in Nolan. The bad boy of the pack. The heir. The wolf who should lead and choose a perfect Luna... not a half-human girl, out of place and covered in scars. Nolan doesn't want Mia. But he desires her with a force that drives him crazy. And the more he tries to resist, the more dangerous the attraction between them becomes. Between intense provocations, forbidden touches, and buried truths, Mia finds herself trapped with a mate who fights against his own destiny—and against the feeling he swears doesn't exist. But how long can Nolan deny the bond? A story about secrets, blood, and desire. And about what happens when the wolf finally finds his female... and tries to run away.

ALICE RILEY “I like you; you’re a wonderful girl. But your stubbornness? I can’t deal with that. Unless you change—” Before he could finish, I said goodbye and walked out. Just a week into dating, and all he could see was my so-called obstinance. Honestly, dating wasn’t my thing. Men admired my looks, sure, but my mind? That was a different story.

Did he actually think he could tame me, bend me to his will? VIVIAN SCOTT I had everything a man needed to make women swoon—looks, power, status, and wealth. Becoming the CEO of Scott Group at a young age had made me responsible, but it hadn’t dulled my appetite for fun. Whenever I encountered a beautiful woman, I knew exactly how she’d react. I never missed an opportunity to tease and charm my way into her good graces. It was all harmless fun—short-lived and never serious. That was until I met Alice Riley. Alice was gorgeous, no doubt, but it wasn’t just her beauty that intrigued me. Her sharp wit and unyielding attitude set her apart. She wasn’t like the women I’d known before. Unfortunately for her, she thought that throwing up walls and flaunting her defiance would keep me at bay. What’s more thrilling than conquering the impossible? I was determined to bring her to my track! __________ Cover Image Credit: Image by Freepik
