Taming The Ice: #13 Beckett Storm

Book 1- Completed Book 2- Completed Finding her boyfriend on the bed with a man was beyond heartbreaking, especially in the midst of their out-of-this-world-nasty bed scene. It was unnerving, insulting, and degrading. And the next day, to make matters worse, the same guy gave her a ticket for driving so fast and denied that he was having a relationship with her now ex-boyfriend. The nerve! Okay, so it was the guy's twin, and Lily ended up ranting on social media and making the man lose his police job, and now to compensate for the damage she had done, knowing that he was not a real officer but a billionaire philanthropist and the owner of her rival company. For some reason unknown to her, Rhye Gosling demanded she marry him after their accidental nerve-wracking one nightstand. Little did she know, he was the most powerful Alpha in the werewolf community, a world she thought only existed in the book. How hard could it be? Yet, the handsome and demanding Alpha would change her life to the full extent, bringing her laughter and tears, hatred, love, and into the chaotic world of magic and wonders where werewolves and demons existed and would do everything to bring the Alpha to his knees.

He's dangerous. He's fearless. He kills without blinking an eye. He's asexual—women don’t attract him, let alone make him catch feelings. He owns one of the most dangerous mafia clans in Russia. He's feared by everyone in the clan, and no one dares go against him. "Go against me, and meet your death" is his code. When it comes to looks, he's one heck of a demigod. No one has ever seen him smile, and they believe they never will—let alone catch a glimpse of his teeth. But what happens when a woman is brought into the clan? What category does she fall into? Is she the innocent, goody-two-shoes type? The stubborn, hotheaded type? Or the mafia kind of girl?

Maya has never known safety. Under her father’s roof, cruelty was law. He was a feared hunter to the outside world, but to her he was worse—an abuser who left scars on her body and shadows in her mind. His control reached so far that even in the darkest nights, she felt the threat of something no daughter should endure. He told her her mother was dead, but the truth was crueler: Danielle, her mother, was alive, a werewolf locked away by his hand. Maya’s only escape is hockey. On the ice, she is fast, fierce, and untouchable. When a scholarship offers her freedom, she seizes it,desperate to outrun the past. But at her new school, silence and scars mark her as an outsider. Cruel whispers follow, especially from Lia, the golden Luna-to-be. Yet on the rink, Maya shines, and it is there Liam—the future Alpha—feels the impossible: the mate bond. Bound to Lia but drawn to Maya, his struggle only deepens the storm around them. Strange changes begin. Wounds heal overnight, anger shatters sticks in her grip, and her dreams whisper of silver eyes and forgotten power. When her own eyes flash with that same light, fear spreads through the pack. The truth unravels—her father has conspired with Lia’s mother and a witch to keep Danielle imprisoned and Maya controlled. When Maya’s wolf finally awakens, it is no ordinary shift. Her form is larger, darker, a hybrid no one can name. In the battle against those who sought to break her, Maya unleashes a power that nearly destroys everything, even Liam. Her father is dead. Danielle is free. Lia is disgraced. Yet Maya stands on uncertain ground, her power a beacon for enemies still to come. Her story has only begun.

He pinned her on the wall, sniffing in her fresh scent. What was he trying to do? Trying to rain insults on her again? "I don't know why..." He hesitated before using his right hand to remove a strand of her hair. Her heartbeat accelerated. "...you're this tempting." She gulped harder, and her eyes widened in surprise because she couldn't believe her ears. He leaned closer as he could hear her heartbeat racing. He niches his lips on her ears and whispers certain words to her enough to send shivers down her spine. "You thought I was blind...but let me tell you, I was blinded by your beauty!" Diana's breath was seized. He knew what her expression would be, his lips curved into a smile. "I want to devour you like the beast that I am. I'm no angel, an insatiable wolf in sheep's clothing...that's what I am." ______________ A Kingdom whereby suitors are chosen by the father when the woman clocks eighteen, she would be married off to the man her father chose for her. Rejection means she was inviting death. Diana was not exceptional. Her father married her off into the Royal family...married off to the blind prince of the King. To avoid being beheaded... ....she ran into the wolf's den. Made a deal with the devil...unknown to her that he was her rejected suitor!

“You think you can tame an old daddy like me?” Mr. Domenico Lombardi’s stone-like voice makes me nervous, but I’m not backing down; I know what I want. “Yes,” I added a nod to confirm it but cursed internally at my luck. I’ve never had a boyfriend, and here I am trying to tame a man old enough to be my father. It is said that the apple does not fall far from the tree. I guess I am truly Kate’s daughter. I had an internal laugh at my stupidity. He scoffed, and I responded by nodding once more while watching the darkening of the silvery gray pupils in his eyes. How come? I brush it off as his cold eyes wash over me. Domenico Lombardi’s presence makes me squirm. When I’m around him, I get the impression that I’m being judged and ignored at every turn. “How old are you?” “18” “How old is your father?” “38,” I replied truthfully. “Well, I’m 37 years old.” He stared at me; his eyes darkened again, and I became terrified. I fiddle with my nails, clipping them together as I lean back on my heels to help relieve some of the anxiety he’s causing me. “You see, I’m like a father to you, or maybe a grandfather or a great-great-grandfather. How many boyfriends have you had in your life?” “None.” He chuckled as I responded. “You see, I’ve lost count of how many ladies I’ve fucked, thousands or millions, over the centuries. You are just a little girl to me with nothing to offer; now, get lost!” “My panties made you hard!” “You think so?” “Yes,” I responded confidently. “Well, I wasn’t hard; I just have a donkey-like cock.”
