My BFF sent the hot stranger a voice note... Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree. And he just. Texted. Back. It's the dog's fault, really. If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here: With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it. (Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.) He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak. I'm still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk. “Methinks you had a little crush on him,” she accuses. Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, “I’d wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.” THAT'S when she reveals that she'd been recording my response. THAT'S when she gives me the most devilish grin I've ever seen and says, “You're welcome.” And THAT'S when she hands me my phone and reveals... She sent the recording to him. My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appear… Then a text. “PROVE IT.”

"please leave me, what have I done," I asked him begging in front of the unknown man who would stop at nothing until I got destroyed "Baby, you are the key to getting what I want," he said coming close to me and my back hit the wall, I close my eyes due to the sensation that he is giving to my body. "but don't worry, I will give you the pleasure that you haven't felt ever in your life," he said and slammed his lips to mine, his hands roaming around every inch of my body. Join the journey of Ralph and Caroline and how they meet in the game of revenge.

The Black Wolf was now standing so close to me. I let out a whimper and started to cry so loud. "Pl…please do… don't eat me” I hiccupped. It looked at me with amusement and fury clear in its golden orbs, which were surrounded by a blue ring. "Why…? Why did you eat him?” I asked Mr. Wolf with a hoarse voice, due to crying. It tilted its head to the side and made some strange noise. Its fur started to vanish and was replaced by tan skin. The wolf started to shift into a human, more like Alexander. I was speechless and he was... whoa! He was naked, like butt naked. ************** What happens when you kill the mate of the world's powerful Alpha in an accident? What if he was out for revenge?
