Introduction
The ruthless Don is a mysterious person who has eyes only for her. He gives her a taste of freedom that she craved for over a long time. But the man came to her life with a purpose. Even his blackmail was a means to an end. Once his duty is fulfilled, would he have to leave her or would he get a chance to make her his? There are buried secrets from the past that awaits Katelyn but the real question is, when everything is revealed, will it be too late for her to salvage the love of her life?
Chapter 1
“Why aren’t we eating……I’m hungry….” Katelyn whined, looking at her father who was swallowing the pills he had to take before dinner. “We are waiting for someone sweetheart, he’ll be here any minute now” her father replied, after drinking water and clearing his throat.
“I would have eaten in my room…...if you had told me earlier you know” kate said grumpily as she stared at her food.
Kate loved and appreciated her father for the little time he kept aside for spending with her because of his busy schedule. She was her father’s whole world and he did everything to fill the gap of her deceased mother. Kate used to argue with him frequently, but ever since he developed a heart condition, she has been very cautious not to speak anything that might upset him. She hated eating along with his other friends from the mafia but the love for her father never let her deny him.
“Actually, you might remember him; you have seen him a few times before. It will be good to rekindle the old friendship” her father suggested.
Kate could suddenly think of many of her friends from mafia who were the same age as her.
“Is it Luther?....No wait….it should be Sam…-”
“No its DON QUISITO” her father’s reply cut her off, completely silencing her. She would have definitely fallen down if she wasn’t sitting. His name echoed in her mind again and again, causing her face to go pale.
“Are you alright?” her father asked, concerned at her quick change of emotions. “I’m fine…you should have…given me a heads up…or…something…” Kate mumbled, while sipping water so she could compose herself.
Don Quisito was her father’s most trusted partner and has even saved his father’s life once. But there was a secret only Quisito and Kate knew and if at all her father comes to know about it, she was as good as dead.
“He should have been here by now....oh wait…THERE HE IS” her father spoke with excitement, making Kate look up to meet the last person she wanted to see on Earth.
Quisito entered like a king, with a pregnant woman by his side. The moment they reached the table, he pulled out a chair for the woman.
“It’s a pleasure to have you over; please sit” her father gestured.
“Thank you, it’s a great to see you too Winston” Quisito greeted her father back as he took a seat exactly opposite to her, with her father at the foot of the table, between them.
“Pleased to meet you too....Kate” Quisito spoke in a casual tone. “Um....nice to meet you... sir” she gave a polite nod. She could practically feel her heart pumping wildly in her chest, making her feel light headed.
“How is your heart ?” Quisito enquired Winston, who replied in a subtle manner about his degrading health and the worry of his only daughter’s future. Eventually they navigated into other topics and in between the conversation Kate learned that the woman’s name was Lena and that she was 9 months pregnant.
Kate was trying hard to act casual but sweat kept on forming on her forehead, which she kept on wiping at equal intervals. The hunger she felt minutes ago had magically disappeared and all she wanted to do was to leave the atmosphere. She couldn’t even breathe properly while she was in the same room as Quisito.
“Kate.....I see you haven’t touched..your..food” Quisito enquired, at the same time touching Kate’s foot under the table with his shoe, making her jump lightly in her spot.
“what’s... wrong ?” Lena asked, unaware of Quisito’s act even though she sat next to him.
Kate was trembling inside but she managed to keep a neutral tone “No...nothing. I think I’m not feeling well. I’ll have my food upstairs....in my room” Kate looked at her father, who nodded, giving her permission to leave the table.
Kate stood up and walked away as the maids carried the food behind her, not even once glancing at Quisito, who was watching her every move like a hawk.

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.
His Empire, My Revenge

But as fragments of memory return, so does a darker truth—Adrian caused the crash that nearly killed her.

Every smile becomes a weapon, every kiss a step closer to his downfall. But Adrian isn’t the only Cross with something to hide. His younger brother, Julian, knows more than he admits—and the deeper Elena digs, the more she learns that revenge has its own price.
In a world of luxury, secrets, and betrayal, love can be the most dangerous lie of all.

He is the Alpha of the Nocturne Pack, cursed by an ancient bloodline that is slowly driving him toward madness and death. His only hope lies in finding the legendary Aethon Orb—or the prophesied mate destined to save him.
When Alex discovers that Avery can draw symbols connected to the long-lost artifact, he offers her a contract she cannot refuse: become his fake fiancée for six months in exchange for enough money to erase her debts and save her home.
What begins as a business arrangement quickly becomes something far more dangerous.
As they search for the missing Orb, Avery is drawn into a hidden world of werewolves, ancient prophecies, and deadly pack rivalries. Powerful enemies want Alex's throne. A jealous Alpha heiress wants Avery gone. And a ruthless rival Alpha will stop at nothing to claim the Orb for himself.

But freedom comes with a price.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
I’d appreciate all your support, thank you so much!
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
