Secret Societies: In The Shadows

I woke in the middle of the night to my Don husband murmuring in his sleep. “Juno, be good. Tomorrow I’ll buy you and Mamma a new house.” My eyes flew open. Juno? That was the name I’d always planned for a purebred Ceylon cat I dreamed of owning, but I’d never gotten one because of my pet fur allergy. And a new house? Could this just be a coincidence? I shook him lightly. “What did you just say?” He frowned and mumbled coarsely, “Had a nightmare. Dreamt of a shootout.” I didn’t press further. In the darkness, I reached for his phone and silently opened his messages.

"I...Is he my son?" He asked in shock when he saw my son Aldo standing beside me, and I tried to hide Aldo behind my body protectively, scared that now he might take my son from me when he finds out that he is his son, and all this time I have been keeping it a secret. "No! He is not." I lied, trying to sound confident, but I knew I was failing miserably as my forehead was sweaty and my tone was trembling. "Shut up, Sab. Don't lie to me, because you clearly mentioned that the only man who has been inside of you is me. And, even if you lie, no one is going to believe that this boy isn't my son because he looks just like me. Now, the question is, Why did you keep him away from me all this time? Why?!" he barked out the last sentence in anger, making me flinch and Aldo cry out of fear from this man. The Ruthless Italian Tycoon that I had one night stand with and ended up pregnant with his secret heir.

One night to remember was all Macey Smith wanted. One night of wild uninhibited fuck with an absolute stranger, and she got exactly that in the bed of a mysterious dark haired man she met at the club. But that was exactly all it took to have gotten her pregnant for a man she never saw ever again. Years later, Macey Smith is living her best life - working her billion dollar job and engaged to the charming billionaire actor, Hendrix Newton. But she gets a hot blast from the past when she bumps into a certain handsome stranger that had given her a child and soon, she learns that there’s more to the world than just humans. Alpha Omari Scar is driven by a possessive need to claim Macey Smith as his own, engagement be damned. He breaks his every rule for her, fights every opposition to sustain their love and would, infact, tear apart any fool who dares to come in the way between himself and his precious mate.

The pack's abandoned, adopted, forgotten child. Raised next to Ronan Voss, the future alpha. He taught her how to fight, stood by her side when everyone else ostracized her, shared her bed stolen under the moonlight. To others he had taken charity, but Liora believed it was love. She knew they were mates; she thought he knew it, too. Then came the full moon ceremony. He chose another; for the strength it gave him, for the power the alliance afforded. The bond within her shattered. No tears fell, no demands were made, just an act of defiance she left; discovered her pregnancy that night, and fled by dawn into the harsh border. Four years pass and she's not forgotten. She is the Rogue Luna, the leader of a pack of desperate renegades and bloodthirsty outcasts. Their allegiance is to her because she will protect them, provide for them, and never asks of them that which she hasn't proven she can do herself. Her son, Finn, has his father's eyes and a quirk-shift before he can walk, and the unusual ability of premonition-brought on by the severed mate bond. Now the Shadow Pack has encroached, whispers of a rogue queen capable of stopping them are everywhere. He finds her once more, finds the girl he abandoned-a stern, unbending pack leader standing before him with their child at her side. Liora has created a future that doesn't need him anymore. Family and power molded by her own two hands and she won't let him destroy it. She will not let him go easily. But there's no mercy given during wartime, not even to the heart. There's always an owed payment to the Moon Goddess. One choice will either secure the lives of all or destroy the woman she has become.

“I want a divorce!” Angela said, staring at her young and handsome husband with her head high. “You had the nerve to tell me that? Fine! Who wants to stay married to an ugly and stupid woman?” Sky Mars scoffed, looking at her from head to toe. “How much do you want from me?” He asked, thinking she only married him for his money. “I don’t need your money, Sky. Only that,” Angela pointed at the beautiful handmade quilt on the bed. “Not only you’re ugly and stupid, but you’re also crazy. Take this, sign the divorce papers, and don’t ever come back,” He took the blue peacock design comforter on the bed, throwing it at her. She picked up the quilt that landed on the floor and turned her back on him, hugging the soft fabric as she walked toward the door. She did not bother correcting him that she is not ugly and stupid, but crazy? Maybe. She was probably insane falling in love with Sky, that not only the name and status is beyond her reach but also his heart.

When I took my five-year-old son, Ethan Drake, for a routine medical checkup, I noticed an additional renal function test listed on the report. “This is a mandatory item for kidney donor matching. Didn’t you know?” the nurse asked. Her explanation left me confused. “The checkup I booked didn’t include this test. Could there have been a mistake?” “There’s no mistake. The appointment was made by Ms. Serena Vaughn. She specifically added this item.” The Serena the nurse mentioned was my wife. At that moment, my sharp eyes caught another form in her hand: [Diagnosis: Polycystic Kidney Disease. Patient: Noah Vaughn. Family: Serena Vaughn.] I immediately called Serena. “The nurse said you scheduled a kidney donor matching test for our son. What’s going on?” There was a three-second pause before she spoke. “The nurse must have made a mistake. I’ve been busy lately. Don’t call me if there’s nothing important.” I smiled and told her I’d do that. Then I turned to the nurse and asked, “Which ward is Noah staying in?”

As Caiden's hand slowly stroked me, the pressure in the pit of my stomach increased rhythmically with each stroke, leaving me dumbfounded and almost out of breath. As the sensation grew stronger, I dug a finger into his hair. My muscles tensed, a spasm passed through my body, and I cried out as my head fell back. I just lay there, my body limp, astonished by what just happened. Whatever it was I didn't want it to end. "We're just getting started honey" Caiden whispered in my ear. And then the kissing and stroking began and my body was on fire once again. Caiden grabbed my hips and I felt a sharp pain, but it was only brief. Then came the amazing sensation of our skin touching and the friction starting a fire inside of me. He was gentle at first but then he pounded into me like it was his last. And there went my innocence.We made sweet love all night but something was missing. I was unmarked. Kamara Steele was rejected by her mate, Alpha Caiden.

She had no choice but to return to the pack and seek Caiden's help in finding their children. Will they be reunited and live as a family? Will Kamara accept him when she finds out the secret that has been hidden for years?
