Chapter 1
Leilani’s POV
“Wake up! Wake up!” I heard someone call out to me but I ignored the sound of the voice recognizing it as that of my obnoxious younger sister Samantha.
“Wake up Anny!” She growled in annoyance and I sat up slowly recognizing that from the harshness of her voice, there had to be something wrong.
In frustration, I begrudgingly pried my sleep filled eyes open, rubbed violently at it as I sat up slowly and asked; “What is it?”
“It’s mom, it’s dad!” She said in a type of voice that had me sitting up in concentration. As soon as I took in her overall expression, I gasped. She looked rough, tattered even.
For someone whom I had seen only hours ago looking so posh, her present appearance made her seem like she had been run over by a moving tricycle.
“I do not understand what you’re trying to say!” I rushed out in fright, “What happened to you and what happened to mom and dad?”
I scrunched up my nose in disgust when she blew her nose into her hands, rubbing it against her now rumpled nightie.
“Speak up!”
I saw her try desperately to rein in the tears that tried to escape her eyes as she said; “News came a few minutes ago…” her voice trailed off when suddenly a loud cry tore up from the back of her throat. It was so sharp and so agonizing that it had me fidgeting even though I really do not know what was wrong yet.
“Sam!”
“Mom and dad are dead!” She suddenly yelled, making me freeze momentarily in shock. It couldn’t be true right?
They cannot possibly be dead, or could they?
“That’s not true…” I mumbled, moving away from my bed to begin to prance around my wide room. Mom and dad couldn’t be dead!
My attention went back to Samantha who was still sitting on my bed when I heard her suddenly mumble something incomprehensible under her breath.
“Huh?”
“I said everyone knows about it. I even overheard Beta Joyner telling some warriors about it.” She said, sniffling.
No this couldn’t be true!
I wasn’t sure what it was that suddenly overcame me but I heard a loud agonized scream tear out from the back of my throat. It was so loud that it pierced my eardrums, numbing me.
“Anny!” I heard Samantha’s frightened scream cut through the fog that had formed in my mind, and when I opened my eyes to look at her, I noticed that I was sprawled on the floor but couldn’t remember when I fell.
I screamed again. No, not Mom and Dad! They promised to come home today. Promised to never go on impromptu trips anymore.
So, what the fuck is this?
I quickly rushed to my feet, ran towards my door and pried it open, ignoring Sam’s yelling in a bid to stop me.
As soon as I got to the wide passage just across my door, I froze. There were a lot of people there already, walking to and fro towards the direction of the throne room. A lot of them had grim expressions on their faces and stared pitifully at me while I walked past them.
I followed them though, walking in the direction of the throne room; and as soon as I walked into the large room filled with mourners, I couldn’t help but perceive the peculiar smell of lighted candles in the air.
As if in a daze, I walked towards it slowly until I arrived at the front of the throne room, just around where my dad usually sat if he was here. There was a large table in the middle of the room, which now replaced the high chair my father used to sit on.
On it was a large portrait of my parents who were smiling brightly at the camera. I could vividly remember the day the picture was taken.
They were both camera shy and tried desperately to shy away from the camera man. In frustration, I had snatched the camera out of the camera man’s hands and stood in front of them with a big grin on my face.
On seeing me, they had both visibly relaxed and I had to distract them by getting into a conversation with them. I waited patiently for when they would smile, and as soon as they did, I clicked away at the camera.
I couldn’t believe it now. I couldn’t believe that the picture I had taken on such a beautiful day was now used for their candle night vigil.
In something akin to rage, I stormed over to the flowers that had been so skillfully arranged in front of their portrait at such a short period of time and began flinging them into several corners of the room.
I couldn’t believe this people! How could they all arrange something like this when they hadn’t even seen their corpses yet? How could they be so sure when they hadn’t touched the coffins of the so-called dead?
“Leilani! Get away from there!” I could hear Beta Joyner yell out to me but I ignored him, refocusing my attention to taking out the annoying garland that had been put around their portrait.
I could hear the hushed mumblings from the crowd, the snide comments, but I said nothing, ignoring it.
“Leilani!” Beta Joyner yelled again.
“Joyner!” I growled back, turning to face him. I could see the look of utter shock flicker across his face due to the way I yelled back at him. but he quickly masked it, and began walking towards me with slow, precise steps.
“Do not take a step closer to me!” I snarled at him, baring my teeth as I quickly picked up a sharp dagger from the table and pointed it at him. “Do not come any closer or I’ll stab you with this!”
“Leilani, calm down. I understand exactly how you feel, I know what it feels like to lose both pare—”
“My parents are not dead!” I growled. “They are not dead, y’all are just so clueless, you’d jump into conclusions even without proper evidence.” I couldn’t say where this sudden courage came from, but I found myself reveling in it, basking in its goodness.
“What evidence are you talking about?” He whispered slowly, talking one at a time as if he was conversing with a kid. “You mean like a proof that your parents truly died in an accident?”
“Yes!” I snapped, “you should at least see their bodies before throwing flowers around their portraits like you’ve been wanting them dead in a long while!”
I knew that my words had gotten to him for immediately, he stopped in his tracks, eyed me with so much ferocity that he had never done before and said;
“I’ve never wanted them dead!” His words seem to not faze me for almost immediately he uttered the statement, I scoffed, looking away from him.
“These are the pictures from their accident scene, their bodies will be arriving in the morning.” he said.
I immediately looked up at him, then at the phone in his hands which was turned towards me, and I suddenly couldn’t breathe. It felt like I was about to pass out, because in the picture was my parents or what was left of them. They had been severely burnt beyond recognition, but from the clothes on their bodies, I knew they were the ones.
I immediately fell to the floor, wailing. My heart felt like it was being clawed out. My existence felt meaningless without them.
I felt a sharp pain run up from my chest to my back, it numbed me, making me writhe on the floor. I looked up suddenly to see a smirk on Beta Joyner's face, but as I paid closer attention to him, it suddenly disappeared leaving me feeling like he knew something about my parent’s deaths…

"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
