Poppy X Branch

My mother wants his head on a silver platter, I want my baby back in my arms. Let's rewind shall we? Axel was once the one man I would give my life for. I loved him with everything in me. Our union was forbidden because of our pack's blood feud, yet, I gave up everything for him, to be with him. But soon, I realized that not all that glitters is truly gold… It was supposed to be love, but it turned out to be a game of love for him. A game where he was the cruel player and I was the dwindled pawn. An item for revenge of his pack against mine, he had called me. I became use and discard, and his pack took my baby away from me…. But what he doesn't know is that he messed with the wrong person. Because, I, Diane will not stop until I have given the cruel Alpha a taste of his own medicine Two can play this game of deceit. ******* Axel I lifted the bride’s veil and was shocked by who was behind it. Instead of my bride, Sofia, who is also my fated mate, I found Diane, the woman I used, in her place, offering me a full blown smirk. “Surprise, surprise!” Her eyes shined mischievously. “You….Where is my bride?” I roared, eyes blazing. In the next second, the cocking of a gun resounded in the room, as she pressed the pistol to my forehead. “Marry me now Alpha or Sofia dies….” She commanded. ******** Fire x fire collide under one roof once again, after a tricked marriage, none willing to succumb to defeat in a twisted game of love. Is revenge the endgame or will the intimacy from their past together consume them whole once again?

I was pregnant. On my way to deliver documents to Tristan Goldberg, a flash flood struck. Desperate, I dialed his number, praying he’d answer. After a few rings, the call connected. But instead of Tristan, a woman’s voice answered. "Tristan, whose number is this? Do you want to answer it?" There was a brief pause, and then Tristan’s voice, cold and indifferent, cut through. "It’s just my maid. Ignore it. Hang up." And just like that, the call disconnected. Staring at the torrent rising around me, my pulse quickened. I texted him, begging for him to send a rescue team. Minutes passed as the waters climbed to my waist, churning and relentless. Then, a message from Tristan finally appeared. Tristan: [What kind of ridiculous story are you making up now?] Tristan: [Emily, do you think you're eighteen, playing these childish games? I want that document in my hands within thirty minutes, or we're getting divorced.] A surge of terror shot through me as I looked up, catching sight of a heavy branch snapping loose and crashing down. In an instant, everything went dark.

They say a fated mate only happens once. So why do four powerful Alphas claim me as theirs? Amara Elwood's first shift should've been a celebration. Instead, she was publicly rejected by her mate and cast out like a curse. Broken, humiliated, and alone, she fled-only to collapse deep in the heart of the Infinite Pack's territory, a place feared by all. When she wakes, four Alpha males stand over her. Dangerous and unbelievably gorgeous. But Amara doesn't believe in second chances, and definitely not four. She doesn't trust their heated stares, or the way her body reacts when any of them are near. Especially Dante-the coldest of them, the one who fights his bond the hardest... and the one who haunts her most. Tension simmers. Secrets stir. And Amara finds herself tangled in a web of passion, power struggles, and pack politics as the Alphas begin to fall-hard-for the girl who was never supposed to survive. But love this dangerous doesn't come without a cost. And some bonds were never meant to be broken.

WARNING: RATED 18+| NO RAPE!!! Excerpt; "Was I a good girl?" she hiccupped, her bare skin flushed and glowed as she rolled across the sheets like she owned the bed—and him. Six weeks without his touch had scraped her raw. She was slowly losing touch of her sanity. "You did good, Penguin," Alanis said, his voice low and rough as he reached for his tie. And just like that, the spell cracked. He was leaving...again. It wasn't fair, she had to remain in the shadows, while her perfect half-sister was rubbing his chest in public. Poppy slammed the door shut, while she arranged her robe, her eyes wet and wild. "Can you… stay… just one more night?" He hesitated. And she saw it, the guilt and pull. "You know how this—" Something made him stop mid-sentence. His gaze dropped. One sharp breath, and he was staring at her peaked nipple like it was a commandment. "Please?" she breathed, arching toward him. With a low growl, he tossed her back on the bed because he had been starved, and he was ready to devour his Penguin. ...

The corner of my mouth curved into a slow, dark smile. “No,” I agreed, voice low and steady. “You’re not going to kneel for me.” I leaned in closer, eyes locked on hers. “You’re going to spread your legs for me, Lilliana—because I’m the monster, baby.
