I stumbled upon the ancient artwork in the locker rooms. It caught my attention because it resembles a dagger, so I took it and waited for the perfect opportunity. "Silly girl, that is not the key to my heart. Pathetic attempt." Vladimir growls in disgust. If I'm lucky, I'll be free by the end of the night. Taking the first step toward my destruction, I grin and move my hips in time with the slow music in the background. Vladimir swallows, his Adam's apple bobbles in his throat. The vampire's eyes focus on the crook of my neck as I stop directly in front of him. I place my palm on his chest, guide my fingertips down to his abdominal muscles, a corner of my lip twitches in disgust. When he closes his eyes, I take the opportunity to plunge the key directly into his heart, smiling as his eyes shoot open and he looks down at me in horror. "Are you still convinced I don't have the key to your heart?" I ask, grab him by the collar, and pull him closer. My lips nearly touch his ear as I whisper, "It fits."

My suitcase, filled with precious and expensive birthday gifts, was mistakenly claimed by another person at the airport. When I opened the one left behind, I found it packed with men’s clothes instead of my belongings. Determined to retrieve what was rightfully mine, I went on a frantic search for the man who had taken my suitcase. When I finally confronted him and politely asked for an exchange, he responded with the gentlest of tones: “Oh, I opened it and realized I’d made a mistake—it’s all women’s items.” I breathed a sigh of relief, ready to thank him and express my gratitude. Then he added casually, “I couldn’t use any of those things, so I sorted them out and gave them to my girlfriend. You’re welcome.” My jaw dropped. I could barely muster a response as I muttered under my breath, “What the hell?”

Once upon a time, I believed all Alphas were as sick and twisted as my adoptive father, but the Vincent triplets proved me wrong. Because of them, for a moment, I believed I had a chance at happiness, a real family, and a brighter future. However, while we excitedly expected our own child and reunited the packs, the forces of evil watched over each step we took. The greatest happiness turned into a nightmare. We're risking so much, putting so many lives at stake, and I fear our attempts might fade into nothingness. Perhaps I'm asking for too much. My utopian family never existed, and it never would. Everything will crumble and fall before my eyes, and there will be nothing I can do to stop the damnation- the same as I can't stop him from leaving me. BOOK TWO IN THE ALPHAS SERIES can be read as a stand-alone, but for a better understanding, I highly recommend you read book one first. The series: Caught by the Alphas Claimed by the Alphas

Who are you?" I sluttered, attempting to take a step back but my feet seemed rooted to a spot. The mysterious man smiled, his eyes glinting in amusement, "I am someone who knows you," he said, his voice dripping with an otherworldly intensity. "I am someone who has been waiting for you." I looked around, I was surrounded by lifeless Bodies, slaughtered brutally by something worse than a monster, "What happened here?" I asked, struggling to keep my voice steady. The mysterious man chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "They are dead, you killed them all." He said, his eyes glistening in happiness, "You've become the person I knew you would be." I felt a pang, I looked at my hands, they were covered with blood. However, the question remains: did I really kill all these people? If yes… then who am I? Read on to find out!

After the death of the Alpha couple, Olivia had to face the ruthless truth about her upbringing. With nothing left to hold her down, she ran to escape the memories that weren't hers. But this time, she didn't run with nothing; she ran with his mark burning as deep as her soul. *** The crowd of wolves gasped in horror. Some screamed, and many women burst into tears while their Alpha licked the blood from Olivia's skin. Olivia shivered when his disgusting lips left her neck. Noah's hand ran through her hair, grabbing a fistful of her snow-white curls; he pulled her against his body and whispered, "Good luck avoiding me now, rogue." ***

Your life has always been a horrible mess, like happiness didn’t want you to be happy. Being caged, used and controlled was all your life could offer, and you just couldn’t stop it or escape it. But then you met him. You thought he was a different person, so even after being warned, you chose to go with him, straight into a trap you would never escape from. He was cold, blunt, and unhappy himself, so when you expected him to say, “This is your home now, do whatever you want, for I will always protect you,” disappointment slapped because he said this instead: “I own you now. You’ll be in charge of all the cooking and cleaning in this house. You are not permitted to take one step out of this mansion; making any little mistake could cost you your life. Whenever I call you, respond immediately, don’t make me call you twice; that could also cost you your life. This house must remain clean as it is right now, and at night, be on guard in this house. I don’t want to catch you sleeping, it might also cost you your life… I hope you understand.” Just then you realised, you were been owned again, not being loved. The 25th of September is always a day of agony, torment, misery, pain and anguish. It all started on the 25th of September, and just like it started… would it end? Is Felix not who you pictured him to be? Would he turn out to be a bigger mess… or not. What would happen to you now, Benita?
