Introduction
Lara has perfected the art of invisibility: a lone witch in a world of wolves, her true nature hidden behind a wall of quiet defiance and a dormant wolf she refuses to awaken. Her past is a locked box of fear, tied to a scar and an Alpha who claims her. All she wants is to stay hidden, even from the intense gaze of Matthew, her pack's future leader—and, impossibly, her fated mate.
Matthew knows she’s close. He's caught her scent, a tantalizing promise that slips away each time. Why would his own mate run from him? As danger closes in on the pack, the truth can no longer stay buried. He’s determined to claim her, but to win her, he must first unravel the secrets that make her fear the very bond that could save them both.
Chapter 1
Lara's POV
Another year is starting. Three less and I will be done. I'm not really the popular type and I'm not really social either, so I'm not especially enjoying my university's years. I can't wait for this to end. I'm studying the laws. I know not the sexiest thing to study but it's what Luke decided to study. As a future Gamma of the pack, he thinks that to know laws will help him. Also, he wants to be the voice of the ones who don't have one which is pretty honorable.
Luke is my only friend here. He is the only friend I have ever made here when I arrived 13 years ago. Not the people didn't try but believe me they had tried but he is the only one who never gave up. Not that I'm not sociable it's just I can't lose friends and I know it happened. You see, I have a really dark past, and as Aunty Jane used to say past always catch you up sooner and later. She also used to say the truth will always be revealed. And I really understood the sense of that when she died 2 years ago and my full past was revealed to me. I know one day he will come for me and if I don't want people I love to be hurt in the process, I need to keep my distance. It worked with everyone except Luke. And I know it's selfish but I need at least a friend here, even more now that Jane is gone.
Luke is my best friend, of course as my only friend he has no competition for the position but I'm a lucky girl because he is the best friend, you can dream of. He followed all my choices. I'm passionate about dance so he gave up football to take dance classes with me. Also, we always have all our classes together and I don't how but I know it was his doing. When I was 16, I applied to work with Team L again he applied with me. 16 might sound young for you but in the werewolf world, we are already mature as at 16 we can shift into our wolves. Well, the other werewolves can shift at 16, not me. There was an accident when I was 5 and ever thing I never were able to connect with my wolf. My alpha hoped that I would shift at 16 but I knew I wouldn't... I know, I know, I'm super mysterious but I'm scared to speak about what really happened and I'm also scared if I start to speak about it that my past will come after me.
Even I can't shift, I still have all the werewolf abilities, speed, strength, better vision, etc... The only thing that I've never tried is mindlinking. I don't know why exactly, maybe because I never felt like I was part of this pack. The price will be too high if I become a pack member. I can't be selfish and do that to them. Also, I'm not a 100% werewolf, I'm a witch too. Nobody knows that here, except Luke, of course, but he is keeping all my secrets even from his Alpha and I'm really grateful for that. See, he is the best friend that you could never have. This is why this time it was my turn to follow him and his wishes to study laws. And I'm happy to do it for him. I want to spend as much time as I can with him. He will be my light when my darkness will come after me.
Honk, honk!
Ah! It's him! He is picking me up as we are going together in our classes.
"Hey, Luke! Ready for a new year." I ask him, putting my seatbelt.
"Hey, Lara! As never. Remember whatever happens it's us against the world." He replies.
"Why are you saying that?"
"Because Matthew and Alex are back and I know how you don't like them."
"It's not that I don't like them. They are just so annoying!"
"If you say so." He mutters not believing me.
"You should spend time with them. As the future Gamma, you need to be more involved with them. You already refused to go to that training camp with them, now it's time to reconnect with them both." I tell him after a few minutes of silence.
Becoming my friend pushed him away from his other friends. And as I'm seeing like a weirdo and he's my friend, people tend to think he's one too. Which is totally false. He is one of the coolest guys I know. If only people could see that!
"I will not let you aside, so until you find a way to be friends with them. It's not going to happen." He says.
"Don't be ridiculous! You could lose your Gamma position!"
"So be it!" He says with defiance.
"Please, Luke! With both know how important is it for you."
He sighs:
"I will think about it."
"Thanks!! It's all I ask for."
"We will see, I have another problem to fix before." He says more for himself. I would have not hear him without my werewolf senses.
"You know, you can tell me everything. I can help you." I tell him.
"I know and I will if and when I'm ready."
"Okay..."
The rest of the ride we are listening to some songs. That makes me want to dance. My favorite dance is Tango and Luke is a really good dancer and partner. We both like a lot Capoeira too. We won a lot of competitions together.
"You know, you can tell me everything. I can help you." I tell him.
"I know and I will if and when I'm ready."
"Okay..."
What a shity first day! I was already hating university but with " the future Alpha and Beta" back all the she-wolves went crazy today! I don't even know why? I mean, of course, they are both built like gods and they held a position of power but come one! Don't be so desperate! I don't know how you can find them attractive when they are so annoying! uh!!! Can't wait to go home.
Suddenly a smell hit my nose. The smell of trouble...
"Hey, Luke!" I hear Matthew says in our back.
I can't help but roll my eyes.
"Hey Mathew, Alex." Luke replies turning toward them.
"Hey, Luke, Lara." Alex says.
"Hi" I reply.
Matthew is totally ignoring me, he didn't even say hello to me. What an ass! I can't for our next mission with the team L to have a break from the shity hole!

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.

But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth.
"It's wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for just standing this close. But tell me, little bird" his breath ghosts my skin, "are you trembling because you hate me… or because you've wanted this just as much as I have?"

But one betrayal shatters it all.

It's brutal. Bloody.

“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.

Invisible To Her Bully
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
