After My Wolf Faded, My Alpha Went Crazy
The ninety-ninth time my Alpha mate blocked our mind-link, I was in the final stages of Wolf Spirit Decay.
I dragged my broken body into the Council Hall.
The cold marble steps grated against the soles of my feet, and with every step, a tearing pain ripped through my chest.
"I am here to petition to leave the pack."
The council official studied my pale, thin form with a pitying gaze and asked softly, "Are you certain, Miss? You would be giving up the pack's protection."
Since childhood, my wolf has been unstable, making me frail.
Ever since my father brought home my adopted sister, Lydia, when I was ten, my parents have treated me like a disgrace to the family.
Despite being his marked mate for years, Caleb never promised me a Luna ceremony.
He rarely even took me to pack gatherings.
As a result, hardly anyone in the pack knew who I was.
"It doesn't matter," I said, my voice calm despite the effort. "I will be dead in three days."

After I Took Three Bullets for Him, He Said He Was Just My Uncle
After I Took Three Bullets For Him, He Said He Was Just My Uncle
I took three bullets for Don Lorenzo Moretti, the man I called my uncle.
The last one nearly killed me. Only then did the family elders agree to name me Donna.
But in the two weeks I lay unconscious, Lorenzo announced his engagement to Ava, the daughter of a family benefactor.
The Rocci, my family, lost its power when I was ten. Ever since Lorenzo, a close friend of my father's, brought me to the Moretti estate, I was certain he would one day be my husband, despite our age gap.
He always told me to find men my own age, but I just let it go.
In my previous life, I crashed their engagement party, a decision that led to a miscarriage and my own violent death.
But this is my second chance, and I have learned my lesson. I will reclaim the token of my love, accept my destiny as Donna, and offer myself in a marriage alliance far away in Sicily.
Uncle, I finally understand. A young man is far more entertaining than an old one like you.

Marked by a Stronger Alpha After Being His Stand-in
"Father, I accept the marriage alliance with the Blackwood Pack."
Silence stretched on his end of the link before he finally replied, "Caterina, are you certain?"
"I am."
I didn't tell him the real reason.
Last night, a heart-shattering agony ripped through our Mate Bond, through that damned bond, I saw everything—
My mate, Alpha Rocco, was in the cabin on his private hunting grounds, pinning his childhood sweetheart, Scarlett, against the wall and kissing her with a desperate frenzy.
I confronted Scarlett directly at the pack meeting, a flicker of triumph flashed in her eyes before she feigned innocence. "Caterina, I have no idea what you're talking about."
Just then, Rocco's voice boomed through the open mind-link, echoing in the minds of everyone present. "Caterina, as the Luna of the pack, you shouldn’t cause a scene like this. Scarlett is just a friend. "
In that moment, my heart died completely. He was my Alpha, my husband—the man I had spent years helping rise to power.
I severed my mind-link with Rocco. The pain of the forced disconnection was so intense I could barely stand, but I straightened my spine and sent my reply. "I'll be home in two weeks."
Go home and marry the most powerful Alpha in North America.
They say he is cold and ruthless, unmoved by any she-wolf.
Perfect.
I don't need love. I just need an Alpha strong enough to help me secure the Silver Moon Pack.
And as for Rocco?
The Moon Goddess gave us a destiny, and he shattered it with his own hands. Now, I will seize my own.

Revenge at the Altar
I turned a nobody from the streets into a Mafia, and I defied my papa—a man who loved me more than anything—to do it.
For five years, I cast aside the honor of being a Principessa, all for the dream of a life with him.
I thought the man I loved was on the verge of becoming the next Don of the Moretti family.
But then my papa collapsed during his prayers in the church, suffering a massive cardiac arrest in the one place he believed was most sacred, most safe.
Robin was by my side day and night, whispering encouragement. "Isabella, you have to be strong. It's the only way your papa can rest in peace."
I was planning our wedding, ready to marry the man I thought I could trust with my life, when I overheard him talking to his mistress, Ava.
"We finally got rid of the old bastard."
"Once I marry Isabella, half the Moretti empire will be ours.."
The five years I had willingly dedicated to him had been nothing more than an incubator for his twisted ambition.
I wiped my tears and became the Moretti family's princess once more. I swore I would make them pay in blood.
So, on the night before my wedding, I picked up my phone and dialed my brother's number.
"Brother," I said. "It's time to close the net."

After My Mafia Ex Buried Me
I'm going to die.
In the eyes of the underworld, I was a sinner. My death would be a final, cursed dishonor.
But even with the Ricci family in ruins, I was still the noble Principessa.
The Ricci pride in my blood would not allow my body to fall into the hands of a rival Family.
Humiliation. Desecration. Photographs flaunted for all to see.
I didn't much care if my body became a trophy to celebrate their victory.
But if the world knew the last of the Ricci bloodline had become a plaything for our enemies, it would be a disgrace to the entire Family.
After weighing my options, I dragged my broken body to the turf of my ex-boyfriend, the man I'd left seven years ago, now the Don of the Falcone family.
"After I die, I need you to handle my body."
He was silent for a long moment, then let out a cold laugh.
"Of course. I'll sink you in the Hudson River with a tombstone tied to your feet, engraved with the name of your filthy family."

Forgetting The Alpha Who Left Me
During the pack's wilderness training, my adopted sister, Tessa, shoved me from a cliffside thick with wolfsbane.
My Alpha, Fenrir, turned and left with Tessa feigning injury in his arms, leaving me for dead at the bottom of the ravine.
I died instantly, but my soul lingered, watching everything with cold detachment.
I watched as Tessa's tearful complaints swayed him into blaming me for my own disappearance.
"Will Selene ever stop causing me trouble?"
"She's weak and always looking for trouble. How could she possibly be fit to be our Luna?"
He had no idea I was already dead at the bottom of that cliff choked with wolfsbane.
Five whole days.
The poison hit my bloodstream like liquid fire, racing through my veins with merciless speed.
As my body decayed under the moonlight, my love for him faded with it.
The title of Luna, the magnificent coronation I had dreamed of, everything I once cherished was now meaningless.
The Selene who loved him was well and truly dead.

A Tainted Bloodline
Eight months pregnant, a contraction tore through me like a blade.
But my husband, the Mafia boss Darren, refused to take me to the hospital.
His sister-in-law, Angelina, his late brother's widow, was also due.
To ensure she gave birth before me, she produced so-called proof of my infidelity, insisting the child I carried was no true Falcone.
Because the heir to the Falcone family had to be the firstborn grandson.
Darren believed her. He locked me in an abandoned wine cellar.
“Don't think for a second I don't know what you've been up to.”
“Let me tell you, you're not giving birth to that bastard until I've verified its bloodline myself.”
“Angelina’s boy is of pure blood. I have to make sure her boy is the family's firstborn grandson.”
I tried desperately to explain.
“My water is about to break! Please, take me to the hospital! He’s your son, I swear on my life!”
“I’ll never fight for the position of heir! I just want my baby to be safe!”
Darren simply kicked me and shot me a glance.
“Who knows if you’ll change your mind later? Don’t worry. I’ll come for you after Angelina gives birth. When the baby is born, I’ll see for myself whose it is.”
Later, as he gazed at the crying infant in Angelina's arms, he finally thought of me. But one of his men informed him, his voice trembling:
“Boss, the Madam… and the child… they're both dead.”

I Rejected the Alpha Who Wore Another's Sigil
When I returned from a mission, I found my Alpha mate, Wyatt, had tattooed his Beta's sigil next to our sacred mating mark.
I cut my mission short, stormed back to the pack, and publicly declared my intent to Reject him.
The mating mark is sacred, a symbol of two souls eternally bound. Desecrating it is the gravest insult to the Moon Goddess.
Wyatt tore the rejection papers to shreds, casting them to the ground.
Fury blazed in his wolfish eyes. "Over a sigil? You're tearing us apart over a meaningless symbol. Are you insane?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" I sneered. "Fine. Let the Moon Goddess be your judge."
The color drained from his face. "Faye, if you dare go through with this, I'll strip Rory of his birthright. He'll never be Alpha."
"How could I be cursed with a mother like you? You're ruining my future as Alpha! I hate you!"My son, Rory, snarled from the side, his eyes burning with hatred.
I looked at this father and son, who was now both strangers to me, and my heart turned to ash.
My fingers tightened on my herb pouch. "The moment your father desecrated our mark," I said, my voice eerily calm, "I was already done with you."

The Alpha’s Temporary Mark
I was Alpha Kade's secret mate for four years.
The night he marked me, in the throes of passion, he gazed into my eyes for a long, long time.
"You know, Anya," he'd said, his voice husky, "what I love most about you are your beautiful eyes."
To protect his claim to the Alpha title, I agreed to remain by his side, posing as a Beta warrior.
That is, until I watched him publicly wrap his arm around my half-sister's waist, beaming with pride.
It was only when the whispers grew louder, when everyone murmured that the beautiful she-wolf the Alpha brought home had my eyes, that the devastating truth finally hit me.
It was never me he loved.
I confronted Kade, demanding an explanation.
His face was a mask of contempt. "An explanation?"
"What did you think this was? It was a temporary mark, nothing more. I've only ever seen you as a sister."
I didn't cry. I didn't make a scene.
I simply opened a mind-link to my childhood friend.
"I accept the invitation to become Head Warrior of the Silver Crest Pack."
Later, when Kade discovered I had caught the eye of his greatest rival, he went absolutely insane.

He Said , “Go Die”
In the VIP lounge of an underground casino, Maeve, the Falcone family's princess, had been plied with too much hard liquor.
Fueled by alcohol, someone goaded her into revealing the most shameless thing she'd ever done to win over the Don.
She swirled her glass, pointed at me dealing cards behind the table, and threw her head back with a laugh.
"Seven years ago, when Declan was in a coma after a shootout, I took his private phone. And I deleted the distress message that bitch sent him. Every last trace of it. Then I replied in his name: You're a burden. Go die."
"You'll never guess what happened next. That idiot stood outside the safe house all night in a downpour, like a stray dog. I almost died laughing…"
The room erupted in crude laughter.
Only the man enthroned at the head of the table remained silent. The crystal whiskey glass in his hand shattered with a sharp crack.
Blood mixed with the amber liquor, trickling over the veins on the back of his hand before dripping onto the carpet.
His murderous, bloodshot eyes were locked on me.
I calmly dealt the last hole card in front of him and offered a clean, white silk handkerchief. "Don Declan, you should wipe your hand. Blood on the felt is bad luck."
After all, some stains never wash out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Shirley Rousseau Murphy's cat mystery series is her biggest claim to fame, hands down. Most people who know her name are thinking of those Joe Grey books. 'Cat on the Edge' kicked it all off, and the whole series about a feline detective who can talk to his human pals just has this cozy yet weirdly intense charm. It's a massive, long-running set of novels that basically define her career.
If you're looking for her most popular standalone, 'The Catswold Portal' gets mentioned a lot, too. It blends fantasy with cats in a way that predates a lot of modern stuff. Honestly, outside of the Joe Grey world, her earlier fantasy novels like 'The Dragonbards' have a dedicated but smaller following. For sheer popularity and volume, it's the cat sleuth books every time.
