Words To Riptide By Vance Joy

From the moment they met, he refused to look at her, refused to acknowledge her existence — even after she became his son’s chosen mate. And she despised him for it. Soon enough fate comes out to play, when the man she loved betrays her, murders her, and attempts to steal her pack, she expects death to be the end. Instead, the Goddess restored her back to earth but this time stronger than any wolf to ever exist.

He was supposed to be her fake fiancé for one snowy Christmas week. He turned out to be the billionaire judge who could make or break her dreams. Desperate to save her failing small town bakery, Elodie Voss enters the Hart Holiday Bake-off, a nationally televised competition with a $500,000 grand prize. There’s only one problem, it’s time for her family’s yearly Christmas retreat and they are determined to find someone for her to marry. Solution? Hire her grumpy, very hot neighbour Cassian Hart as a pretend fiancé to keep them off her back. Cassian agrees instantly, anything to escape his own family’s matchmaking. What Elodie doesn’t know, Cassian isn't just rich. He’s the reserved heir to the Hart Estate of Cuisines empire-the secret major sponsor and final judge of the very contest she’s competing to win. When Elodie's vicious step-sister uncovers the truth and threatens to expose them on live television, one fake relationship becomes terrifyingly real. This Christmas the sweetest prize isn’t the trophy. It's deciding whether to trust the man who could ruin her…or the heart he’s determined to win.

After discovering her husband's infidelity, Riley Shay is forced into a contracted marriage with ruthless Billionaire, Nicolas King. In exchange for saving his life, he provides her wealth and protection to exact revenge on her ex-husband.

On the day of my first shift and pack betrothal ceremony with my fated mate, Leon, an unfamiliar Omega appeared, clutching a young boy who broke free and ran to Leon, calling him “Daddy.” To everyone’s shock, Leon embraced the child and admitted the truth: four years ago, he had a brief encounter with Mia, the boy’s mother. Now exiled and vulnerable, she had nowhere else to go. Leon declared he needed to protect them—give them a name, a place—and said he would complete a bonding ceremony with Mia, “temporarily,” for the child’s sake. He asked me, the Alpha’s daughter, to be understanding. Promised his heart still belonged to me. But as the pack watched, they stood together—him, Mia, and the boy—and performed their bonding ceremony in the very place mine was meant to be. That was the day I shifted for the first time and the day I was publicly betrayed by my own mate.

I lost everything the night my parents died. What the world called a tragic accident, I know was something far worse. Left with nothing but debts and a younger brother to protect, survival became my only goal. Desperate and out of options, I accepted a job as a secretary at B&S Incorporated, owned by the infamous billionaire, Bryan Smith. Cold, arrogant, and used to getting whatever he wants, he was the last person I ever wanted to work for. But I didn’t have a choice. Then he made me an offer that changed everything. Be his fiancée. Just pretend. In return, he would give me the money I desperately needed. It was supposed to be simple. No feelings. No attachment. Just a contract. But nothing about Bryan Smith was simple. The longer I stayed, the more I realized I wasn’t just trapped in a deal… I was trapped with a man who had no intention of letting me go. “Do you really need this job?” he asked. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to nod. “Yes.” His gaze darkened as he leaned back in his chair. “How desperate are you?”

Arelia Nightwyn knows pain better than love. Chained in silver by her "perfect" father, scarred and silent, she’s traded like property into an arranged marriage with Kaden Raventhorn—the caring beta of the fierce Raventhorn Pack. At twenty-one, Kaden offers safety, patience, a gentle touch that should feel like rescue, and a quiet strength he keeps carefully hidden. But safety doesn’t make her heart race. His brother does. Darius Raventhorn, the twenty-three-year-old alpha heir—scarred and merciless—rules with lethal precision. Untouched, waiting only for his true mate, he despises spoiled she-wolves who chase power. To him, Arelia is weak, pampered, unworthy… until her sweet cherry-sunshine scent crashes into him and awakens something dangerous he can’t deny. The pull between them grows sharper with every shared glance, every accidental brush of skin under the same roof, while Kaden's steady, protective arms remain the only place where nightmares dare not follow her night after night. Can she stay loyal to the brother who truly saved her, the one who offers peace without demand… or yet surrender to the alpha who breaks her heart with every cold glance?

“When we return alive, I’ll make you Luna.” My mate Soren told me when we went into battle together. He was my rock, my strength. But when I woke up after the battle, something was wrong. Soren was cold and distant. And beside him, a beautiful young woman held his hand. My smile faltered, confusion replacing the joy I had felt moments ago. “This is Cerelia. She’s my second chance mate.” His words hit me like a physical blow. He told me that our mate bond was severed due to my injuries. During this year, he found Cerelia and is going to make her Luna tomorrow. My heart felt like it was being torn apart, and my head pounded with a fresh wave of pain. And deep down, I knew he was telling the truth. I couldn’t feel the mate bond between us anymore. The cold reality of his betrayal was sinking in, and I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare. Soren, my mate, my Alpha, my everything, stood beside another woman, promising her the life he once promised me. Where does this leave me?
