Raising A Bat

Faible, pathétique, asservie Tels étaient les mots utilisés pour décrire la vie de Kira. Son père l'avait forcée à devenir strip-teaseuse pour son propre profit, et sa belle-mère et sa demi-sœur la ridiculisaient à la moindre occasion. La nuit où elle est offerte à Alpha Keith comme prostituée, celui-ci devient furieux lorsqu'il découvre qu'elle est sa compagne. Il déteste les femmes et ne les considère que comme des objets de plaisir et d'esclavage. Pour obtenir sa couronne de prochain alpha, il accepte de ramener Kira dans la meute. Pour tout le monde, elle était sa Luna, mais derrière des portes closes, elle n'était rien d'autre que son esclave. Lorsque Kira décide de ne plus rester naïve, elle se bat pour sa liberté et c'est alors que Keith réalise à quel point elle compte pour lui. Il veut une seconde chance, mais Kira n'est peut-être pas disposée à la lui donner.

Claire Sanchez will apply as Zekiel Gray's secretary for two reasons.** First, she wants to reclaim her late mother's company, and second, she hopes to see one of her twin sons.

Especially since he’s certain that the mother of his son, Zayn, is the same woman he was with five years ago?
