Rude Awakening

"Hey, new girl! Stop hovering like a shadow and grab a seat. You look like you haven’t eaten in days," the head chef called out, her voice sharp but oddly welcoming. I froze. I knew her. She was the type who ignored me—neither cruel nor kind, just indifferent. It was better than the others who thrived on my misery. But this… this unexpected invitation caught me off guard. “Thomas, move over!” she snapped. “The girl looks like she’s been dragged through hell. Let her sit.” I cautiously stepped forward, unsure of this newfound warmth. “She doesn’t talk much, huh? Let me tell you something, sweetheart,” Henry chimed in, his voice dripping with mockery. “There’s no room for shy here. Speak up or get swallowed whole. Now, what’s your name?” “Aurora,” I said smoothly, burying the girl I used to be beneath the lie. --- Amelia was the pack’s favorite target—a punching bag for their frustrations and a scapegoat for their failures. But the cruelest betrayal came on her eighteenth birthday when the Alpha—her mate—rejected her in front of the pack. Mocked, humiliated, and abandoned, Amelia reached her breaking point. She vanished without a trace. Years later, she’s back, but not as the broken girl they remember. She’s Aurora now—sharp, fearless, and burning with a thirst for vengeance. She’s trained, planned, and uncovered the dark truths that fueled their hatred. And now, she’s ready to make them pay.

I regret taking that decision. I should have fought hard to make you mine. I'm sorry." He apologized and cried. Aurora placed her right hand on his cheek.

Moira wasn't the Luna he wanted. To strengthen the alliance, her father sacrificed her with a classic trap so that she could marry Alpha Jude Hammer from The Night Hunter Pack. The plan worked, but for seven years, Moira felt no happiness or love from Jude. Then, one day, she finds out the reason—Jude has found his fated mate. Heartbroken, especially since she had lost everything, Moira filed for divorce, left the company, and started a new life. *** I was startled by the commotion outside the apartment. It was unusually quiet for eight o’clock, and the sound I heard... I decided to check it out. Someone was standing at the door, which I opened hastily to confirm. Instead of peace, I found a new problem. Jude held the door, forcing his way in and locking it. He closed the distance between us, pinning me against the wall, so close that I could feel the warmth of his breath on my face. His strong arms wrapped around my waist, so stiff and tight. My heart skipped a beat, not because of lingering love for him, but because I felt disturbed by his presence. "What the hell are you doing here, Jude? You have Bella, don't drag me in. You shouldn't be here," I snapped, but it didn't faze him at all. "Screw Bella! I came to confirm something." He moved again, closer, so that our lips almost touched. “Are you drunk? Go home. You will only cause me problems. We'd been divorced, remember?” I said, trying to gently push him away. “What? Divorced? Don’t even think about it, Wifey. I didn't sign it. NEVER. Means, you’re still my wife. You're MINE.”

‘It’s a fucking diamond ring! Why is it on your finger?’ I roared she looked up at me, strands of her hair framing her face her tear-soaked face making her skin look blotchy. She whimpered as more tears rolled down her face. ‘Weak and pathetic! How is it that he wants you over me!’ I glared at her, lowing my head so that we were eye to eye. Fear filled her face tenfold when I showed her my fangs. She gulped. ‘I don’t know Zac gave it to me, please,’ I slapped her again, I didn’t want to hear this. I heard her cry out again. ‘What do you want’ she begged. ‘I want you gone,’ I raised back up, so I was standing over her, she cowered back into the chair. ‘I can’t leave,’ she whispered helplessly.

Vor sechs Jahren gab ich dem Jungen, der meine Welt in Flammen aufgehen ließ, alles: mein Herz, meinen Körper und mein Vertrauen. Am nächsten Tag verschwand er ohne ein Wort. Seitdem meinte das Leben es nicht gut mit mir. Ich begrub meine Eltern in derselben Woche, in der ich meinen neugeborenen Sohn aus dem Krankenhaus nach Hause brachte. Mit gerade einmal achtzehn wurde ich Mutter und Vormund meiner fünfzehnjährigen Schwester. Ich stand unter einer Last, die mich beinahe erdrückte. Als ich endlich glaubte, in einem liebevollen Ehemann Halt gefunden zu haben, fand ich heraus, dass er ein Doppelleben führte – mit einer anderen Frau. Jetzt rebelliert mein Sohn Jaxon. Er ist wütend auf die Welt und trägt Wunden, die ich nicht lindern kann. Nach einem weiteren Anruf aus der Schule, diesmal wegen eines drohenden Schulverweises, wurde mir klar, dass wir nicht länger so tun konnten, als wäre alles in Ordnung. Wir brauchten einen Neuanfang. Ich hätte nie erwartet, dass dieser Neuanfang mich in eine verschlafene Bergstadt führen würde, die ein gefährliches Geheimnis verbirgt... oder zu ihm. Denn diese Stadt grenzt an ein verborgenes Werwolfsrudel. Ihr Alpha ist niemand anderes als der Junge, der vor sechs Jahren verschwand. Derselbe Junge, der nicht ahnt, dass er mir mehr hinterließ als nur ein gebrochenes Herz... Er hinterließ mir seinen Sohn. Warnung! Diese Geschichte ist ein Reverse-Harem und enthält durchgehend explizite Szenen (einschließlich M/M).
