**BOOK RE-EDIT ON ALL CHAPTERS** Welcome to Rockshore Bay, a charming coastal city nestled between rugged cliffs and the vast, untamed ocean. The salty tang of the sea hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of freshly baked bread wafting from the local bakery. But beneath this idyllic facade lies a world veiled in shadows—a world where ancient powers stir and the supernatural thrives. Here, danger lurks behind every corner, hidden in the flicker of streetlights and the whispers of the waves. It is in this city, where the mundane and the extraordinary collide, that the fates of two fractured souls are set to intertwine. Beneath the serene surface lies a world protected by ancient powers, where caramel-skinned Hugo Griffin, a black-haired, sea-green-eyed werewolf, navigates the complexities of his dual life. Unlike traditional Alphas born into leadership, Hugo is a bitten werewolf who fought his way to become the formidable leader of the Ocean Crest Pack—the most powerful on the East Coast. But even as he commands respect, Hugo battles the darkness within himself, a shadow that threatens to consume him entirely. Inland, Sarai Carter—a feisty, raven-haired young woman with sapphire-blue eyes—is rediscovering her strength after escaping the clutches of a toxic relationship. Longing for love but haunted by the fear of a curse that condemns her to loneliness, Sarai faces a crossroads. As Hugo’s burdens grow heavier and Sarai tries to heal, their paths collide in a whirlwind of passion and pain. Both are fighting their inner demons, but when they come together, will they find redemption or ruin?

I was born an Alpha’s daughter, raised with strength, honor, and the knowledge that leadership was in my blood. But my heart had other plans. I fell in love with Kael—a wolf who had never even dreamed of becoming an Alpha. He wasn’t the strongest. He wasn’t the fiercest. But I saw something in him that no one else did. He had a heart that cared, a mind that strategized, and a quiet strength waiting to be awakened. At first, Kael didn’t care for power. He didn’t want the burden of leading. But when the Stormcrest Pack was left without an Alpha, when the pack needed a leader, he had no choice but to step up. And I was there. I trained with him. I fought beside him. I built him into the Alpha he never planned to be. When others doubted him, I stood by his side, proving them wrong. I gave up my own place in my father’s pack to be with him, believing that together, we could lead. But love wasn’t enough. On the night of his Alpha ceremony, I waited, my heart pounding, believing this was our moment. That he would finally claim me as his mate. That he would acknowledge everything we had built together. But under the full moon, in front of the entire pack, Kael looked me in the eyes and rejected me Humiliated and heartbroken, I had nowhere to go. No pack to return to. No future. I ran. That’s when I stumbled into Shadowfang territory. And that’s when I met him. Alpha Asher. Cold. Ruthless. Feared.

"I accept your offer." "What?" He asked in disbelief. "I said, I accept your offer." I repeated. "I would come with you to your pack as your Luna. That is what everyone knows it is. But between us both, I would be nothing but your breeder. I would spread my thighs apart, for you to put your children inside me and in turn, you would give me the reins of power and leadership as your Luna. I would get the respect I deserve, while you get the children you.... deserve." ****************** Rosa Anderson; Scorned by her family, and further abused by her first mate in so many unimaginable ways, she decides love isn’t for her.
