Flashback To That Night
“Let us get started, shall we? Do you Draven Chavez take Analina Stratton to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love to hold through good times and bad, sickness and in health and to cherish till death you part?” “I do.” Analina, do you take Draven Chavez to be your lawfully wedded husband to love and hold through good times and bad, sickness and health and cherish her till death do you part?” “N…OOO.” Something metal shoved into my back, and it could only be one thing. “Y…...S…...I…...O…” I studder out scared to death of what may happen if I don’t. “I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride. “Finally.” Draven says as he pulls me to him and kisses me on the lips with passion that I didn’t know that he had.
Chapter 1
This Story is from Andros' point of View.
“Hey, what’s going on?” I asked as I came around the corner of the main hallway. “Ricco and Diego have been shot, and Analina was kidnapped.” “Wait! She was kidnapped?” ”Yes, Diego got shot in the leg, he is being seen right now by Doctor Lee, Ricco got shot in the chest and possibly died and Analina was taken by Draven.” Jonathan says. “We should start looking for her.” “Right my father is on his way and Rocco called yours and is on his way. This is hard this is the second time we lost my sister.” “So, any idea on how to move forward from here?” “We’ll wait until our father’s get here, he’s going to be so pissed at me for losing her on my watch.” He said with his voice cracking. (He must really love his sister even though they just got reunited not too long ago.)
I left them and went to mine and Analina’s wing and took my phone out of my suit jacket’s inside pocket and pressed one for the speed dial feature. “Hello Andro’s, how are you doing son?” My father asked with sadness and depression in his voice. “As good as I’m going to be under the circumstances dad.” I answered him in a defeated tone. “Hang in there I’m on the jet now.” “Ok.” I said as my heart aches for what the future may hold.
Draven’s House
“I refuse to stay here with you.” Analina said with anger. “I don’t care you are my wife now, so accept your fate this is your destiny.” Draven said to her confidently. As he told her about his feelings on the matter he went up to her grabbing by the waist and throwing her onto the bed. Getting on top of her he rips of her dress and panties as he does the same with his clothes. “You are my wife, and we are going to consummate our marriage every morning, day and night. Wherever I want and any time I want.” He told her. “NO DON’T TOUCH ME!!!” “I would stop fighting it if I were you, it will be a lot worst if you do.” “I AM NOT YOUR WIFE, THIS IS ILLEGAL, YOU FORCCED ME.”
Flashback To That Night
“Here she is boss.” A man says as I’m thrown to the ground. Draven walks over to me and roughly pulls me up. “Ssandra get over here and take her to ready, there’s another dress hanging up.” He told the woman that I thought was my mother for the first seven years of my life. She made me follow her back to the small building and as she does, he calls out to her. “Sandra, don’t have any bright ideas of you taking her place or you’ll end up just like Susan.” She just nods as the color drains from her face. This time I get dressed without a fight and she escorts me down the aisle to Draven and the priest.
“Who gives the bride away?” the priest asked. “I do.” I answered him. I watched on as I panicked, he thought of everything. “Let us get started, shall we? Do you Draven Chavez take Analina Stratton to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love to hold through good times and bad, sickness and in health and to cherish till death you part?” “I do.” Analina, do you take Draven Chavez to be your lawfully wedded husband to love and hold through good times and bad, sickness and health and cherish her till death do you part?” “N…OOO...” Something metal shoved into my back, and it could only be one thing. “Y…...E…...S…...I…...O…” I studder out scared to death of what may happen if I don’t. “I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride. “Finally.” Draven says as he pulls me to him and kisses me on the lips with passion that I didn’t know that he had.
Back to Jonathan’s
A few hours later Jonathan calls me to his office. I knocked on the door. “Come in.” I heard from the other side of the door. I entered the office and looking around I saw that my father had made it here and I made for beeline over to him. I also noticed that John made it here. As I sat down next to him, he began to speak. “I have my men checking out Sandra’s old place that him. recently used as a hideout. If he isn’t there, I can only think of one other place that he would be, I think we should investigate it.” “Where’s that?” John asked. “There’s this place that was owned by his mother in Tampa, Florida.” “Ok, Rodrick and Maverick start hacking until you find something.” “Deigo helps them.” “Yes boss.”
As they worked at computers everyone else discussed what other areas to investigate. “Is there a possibility of him taking her out of the country?” I asked them. “Diego, stop what you are doing I want you to hank in all surrounding airports including the states outside of Arizona.” Diego gets to work on that as the rest of us brainstorm on other areas of importance. {Hey boss, Draven just has some of his men at the house, but they are not there.} {Alright come back leave at least four of your men there.} {Yes boss} My father talks through his earpiece to his men that were at Draven’s hideout, then he looks at John. “He’s not there but some his men are, so I left four of mine to stakeout the place to see if he shows up or if they leave to go out of state.”
“Good idea, now Diego any news o your end?” John asked Diego. “Nothing as of yet, but as soon as I find something you will be the first to know.” Diego answers John’s question as he types away on the keyboard in front of him. “Anybody else have anything for me?” John asked, “I hacked into the CTV near the restaurant that they went to for their date, the car that they were in headed in the direction of Nevada, I’m guessing he’s taking her to Las Vegas to get married.” “OH, HELL NO, WHO DOES THAT SSHOLE THINK HE IS TAKING MY GIRL TO LAS VAGAS TO GET HITCTH TO HER. THIS WILL HAPPEN OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!” I say then walk out of the office to head back to mine and my angel’s wing.
“Wait Andros!” My father suddenly stopped me just outside of the office door. “I know that your piss at what this looks like, even if that is his intentions we have to levelheaded it is the only way to get her back to us save and sound.” “Sorry, I agree.” “Now let’s head back in and see if there is anything we can help with. As we were walking back into the office a phone ring tone went off. (If I remember right, it’s one of Analina’s favorite songs)

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."
At the tender age of eleven, JoJo Wyatt was forced to grow up far sooner than she should have. Born to a cruel father and a weak mother, she quickly realized she had to become the breadwinner for herself and her sister. Nothing else mattered to her, not even the hottest men. In fact, she despised them. After one horrific night, she swore never to have any contact with the male species again. That was, until she started working for him as his stripper.
Meanwhile, Alpha Lake Rush, thirty, was the most feared Alpha in the country. Burdened by his own share of life's struggles, he had learned only to be cruel and reckless, rejecting not one but two mates. But what happens when he discovers yet another mate, and she turns out to be his stripper?
Soulbound Mark
Elena is a witch who adores flowers and plants, possessing a gentle kind of magic that is tied to nature. She leads a quiet life with her family—until one day, the peace is shattered. After a ruthless vampire kills her parents to obtain their magic, she barely escapes and is forced to go into hiding.
From that moment on, she lives in constant fear and does all she can to avoid vampires, afraid that her past may catch up with her one day.
However, Elena can’t escape her fate, and it leads her straight into the arms of yet another vampire. Their encounter throws her life into disarray—not only is Ryder her enemy, but he is also her destined soulmate.
Timeless Us
The world she knew is gone.
Her husband, Nathan, is no longer the young man she left behind—he’s successful, respected, and living with a new family.
But when the woman who disappeared twenty-three years ago suddenly returns…
can love survive the years that were lost?
In Bed With My Ex's Brother-in-Law
On the day her ex, Mark, married the wealthy socialite Bella, Elena was thrown out with nothing but the clothes on her back—humiliated, broken, and utterly alone.
Until Eric Thompson appeared.
Bella’s older brother. Mark’s powerful brother-in-law. And the most feared Alpha in the city.
He offered her a hand when no one else would. Then, he offered her a deal:
A marriage in name only. A shield against her past. A chance to rebuild.
Elena accepted, expecting a cold arrangement between strangers. But behind closed doors, Eric’s carefully guarded control unraveled—and so did hers. Their chemistry was explosive, their nights intense, and the lines between business and pleasure blurred beyond recognition.
He was the one man she could never have… and the only one she couldn’t resist.
But when Mark realizes what he truly lost, and Bella discovers the secret behind her brother’s bride, Elena must decide:
Is this just a contract?
Or is this the love she was always meant to fight for?
Taming Her Playboy Bully
The Vampire Prince's Hybrid Bride
Underwater: The Silent Luna
It sounded like fate. Like rescue. Like the moment the universe finally chose her.
Even with the suspicion clinging to the proposal, Meadow let herself believe it. She stepped into the marriage blindly, hoping love would fill the quiet spaces of her mute, colourless life.
But the truth comes fast, and cruel.
The Alpha never asked for her. Never wanted her. Luna Amber arranged everything without his consent, driven by selfish motives Meadow couldn’t see until it was too late. What should have been tender and sacred becomes a cage, and Meadow is trapped in a nightmare she can’t wake from.
I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
The Game of Claiming
A drunken bet becomes their private game: win the maid.
The rules?
Don’t let the others know you’re falling for her.
And never, ever let her leave.
But each brother plays differently—
The eldest buys her obedience.
The second steals her breath.
The third corners her in the dark.
The youngest ruins anyone who touches her.
Lila isn’t sure if she’s a player in their game… or the prize they’ll destroy each other to claim
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?
