Zoey Walker

He scammed me out of my fortune. Now, I’m going to scan the marrow from his bones. Ethan Walker was the Golden Boy of Neo-Veridia. A billionaire tycoon with a shark’s smile and a god complex. Until Caleb Morgan—his rival, his shadow, the only man who ever saw beneath his tailored armor—liquidated his empire in a single, cold-blooded night. Ethan fell from the penthouse to the fighting pits, stripped of his name but fueled by a new, terrifying hunger. Because the bankruptcy wasn't a failure. It was a trigger. Deep in Ethan’s DNA, a 1998 secret is waking up. A silver-furred beast that doesn't want a board seat—it wants a mate. And it has its sights set on the man who ruined him. Caleb Morgan played the ultimate game. He didn't steal Ethan’s billions for the money; he did it to save Ethan’s life from the "Hunters" closing in. But Caleb’s mask is slipping. As the Universal Beta, he is the only one who can anchor Ethan’s rising Alpha fury. But anchors can be dragged under. From the glass halls of the city to the ancient shadows of the Moon, their rivalry is no longer about stocks and bonds. It’s about Skin. Silver. and Submission. In a world where thirty percent of humanity is shifting, Ethan is no longer looking for a merger. He’s looking for a total hostile takeover of the one man he’s forbidden to love. The Ledger is open. The Moon is rising. And the Audit is going to be bloody.

El día en que se suponía que iba a probarme vestidos de novia con Charles Jaspier, el líder de la mafia al que había amado durante siete años, entré en la boutique con el informe de una prueba de embarazo, con el corazón lleno de esperanza. En cambio, escuché una conversación que lo destrozó todo. —Registrar el matrimonio con Ellis Olsen fue una medida temporal —le dijo él con calma a su confidente más cercano—. Mi hermano murió en un tiroteo. Ella lleva al único heredero de la familia Jaspier. Sin un estatus legal, ni ella ni el niño sobrevivirían en esta familia. Todos los acosarían. Un puro reposaba entre sus dedos. Su voz era fría, con un matiz de resignación. —Zoey Qandor no puede tener un título, pero yo puedo darle todo lo demás. Mi amor. Mi dinero. Sin embargo, esto nunca debe llegar a sus oídos. Apreté el informe de embarazo, con el corazón hecho cenizas. Con la ayuda de mi mejor amiga, creé una nueva identidad —una que garantizaba que Charles nunca me encontraría— y desaparecí de su mundo. Si no podía darme a mí y a mi hijo una familia completa, entonces era mejor cortar este amor, cimentado sobre las responsabilidades y las mentiras, de una vez por todas.

Le jour où je devais essayer des robes de mariée avec Charles Jaspier, le chef de la mafia que j'avais aimé pendant sept ans, je suis entrée avec le plus grand espoir dans la boutique en tenant un rapport de test de grossesse. Mais j'ai entendu par hasard une conversation qui a tout brisé. « L'enregistrement du mariage avec Ellis Olsen n'était qu'une mesure temporaire, » a-t-il déclaré calmement à son plus proche confident. « Mon frère est mort dans une fusillade. Elle était enceinte du seul héritier de la famille Jaspier. Sans statut légal, ni elle ni l'enfant y survivraient. » « Tout le monde les maltraiterait. » Un cigare entre les doigts, sa voix était froide, teintée d'impuissance. « Zoey Qandor ne peut pas posséder de statut légal - mais je peux lui donner tout le reste. Mon amour. Mon argent. Elle ne doit jamais l'apprendre. » J'ai saisi le rapport de teste de grossesse avec le cœur mort. Ma meilleure amie m'a aidée à créer une nouvelle identité pour que Charles ne me retrouve jamais et que je puisse disparaître de son monde. S'il ne pouvait pas offrir à mon enfant et à moi une famille complète, alors il valait mieux rompre net cet amour bâti sur la responsabilité et les mensonges, une fois pour toutes.

When I'm seven months pregnant, my mate, Kayden Booker, brings me to a celebratory party hosted in the Darkwind pack. Vera Walker, a Beta warrior, purposefully splashes red wine onto my gown. She also accuses me of smelling like a Rogue. I shove her away, only for her to collapse to the floor. Kayden immediately picks Vera up before slapping me in the face. "You're just a plaything to warm my bed, and yet you have the gall to touch what's mine?" That night, the video of me doing a lap dance while heavily pregnant is projected to the pack's public monitor, all thanks to Vera. The comment section is filled with the wolves' lewd chuckles and mocking comments. As I hide outside the door, I listen to Kayden and his subordinates' conversation. "She's just a human being who's meant to carry my pup. I'm going to abandon her when I get sick of her." "Only the Moon Goddess knows if that pup inside her womb is a bastard pup or what." "Vera is right. Women like her should be groomed." The wolves laugh among themselves. "Alpha Kayden, that woman sure is hot! Will you give her to us and let us have a taste?" Kayden replies icily, "Once she gives birth to that wretched pup, you can do whatever you want to her." Laughter fills the conference hall once again. I pull out the silver dagger that I've been tucking under my pillow. Then, I scratch out the countdown timer on my calendar.

“You don’t always have to say something, you know that, right?” I said, my voice sounding strange in my ears. “You need to stop talking down on people just to massage your stupid ego!” ***** The worst thing about suddenly changing schools is the part where you think it's your chance to begin from the top—take life by the reins and navigate it in the direction you've always wanted. That was what Sydney Walker thought when her boyfriend, Chase Monroe, released private pictures of her right before he left the town. Then a week after, her father is found dead in the cold rain. She was forced to go live in a whole new city with her family which she barely knew, giving her hope that she could start afresh. But news flash: she's still the same plus size, introverted nerd even in her perfect sister's kind of clothes. And Tyler Sinclair—Lakeview’s golden boy, never called it a day if he didn't remind her that she was three times her sister's size, up to their senior year. But the more he punches her in the guts, the more circumstances around her push her to fight back. But when? And how would she finally square up to the one boy that toxic part of her secretly wants to see every day? And what about Tyler? Are his insults just mere “tease” or is there something going on in his family that no one else knows about?

Addy Walker once believed love was supposed to be loud—felt in bedtime stories, laughter in the kitchen, and the warmth of arms that made the world feel safe. That’s how it was before her mother died. Before her father changed. Grief hollowed him out. The man who once teased and protected became a shell—quiet, cold, unreachable. Then came the bottles. The slammed doors. The bruises. Addy, now eighteen, has learned to survive in silence—walking lightly, speaking carefully, hiding her pain beneath long sleeves and polite smiles. She works long hours to keep food on the table while her father sinks deeper into debt and addiction. One night, she comes home to a dark, freezing house—again. The electricity is off. Again. And she knows why. She confronts him, her voice sharper than it’s ever been. He denies it at first, but the truth is already spread across the kitchen counter in final notice bills and losing betting slips. He’d gambled away the electric bill money on a horse. The argument erupts. He screams, she stands her ground. When he slaps her, she doesn’t flinch. Something inside her shifts. She’s done waiting for the man he used to be. Addy packs a bag. She’s leaving—for real this time. No plan. No destination. Just freedom. But as she storms out into the rain, a long, black car pulls up to the curb. A man steps out—tall, broad-shouldered, older. His face is hard, almost frightening in the shadows, but he’s striking. Dangerous. And calm.
