Chapter 1
Michelle Stewart, a twenty nine year old beautiful lady with light brown hair, grey eyes, pointed nose and a plump pink lips. She s five feet eight inches tall with a body to die for.
Her dad is late, he died of cancer while her mom is a stay home mom. Michelle s father owns fancy restaurants in different cities of Washington which she currently manages.
Michelle is in a relationship with Derek, the son of a renowned businessman in the country. They ve been together for over four years and are still going strong.
Michelle was done with work for the day, so she decided to give Derek a call.
"Hey baby" she greeted as soon as he picked her call.
"Hey love"
Michelle felt like melting at the sound of his voice. They ve been together for quite awhile but she always felt butterflies erupt in her stomach whenever she hears that husky voice of his.
"Are you back from work?" she asked.
"Not yet. I still have a few things to take care of" He replied.
"Okay. I just wanted to let you know that I won t be making dinner tonight cos I m sooo tired. So, I was thinking of getting us Chinese. Would that be okay?" she asked while playing with the tip of her hair.
"You re free to do whatever you want, babe. You know I m your humble slave"
She blushed at his remark.
"I can t wait to see you" He continued.
Michelle was glad that he wasn t presently in front of her to see how crimson her cheeks had turned.
"Me too love" She replied.
"I better not distract you from what you were doing"
"You know you re welcome to distract me anytime"
"Okay, stop this now and go back to work" she commanded with a huge smile on her face.
Derek just chuckled because he was certain she was already red with embarrassment, which was why she wanted to end the call.
"Okay beautiful, I m only going to do so cos you asked… I love you" He then said.
"Love you too" She replied and then hung up.
After the call, she tidied her desk, collected her purse and walked out of the office, locking the door behind her.
Michelle told her most trusted employee, Sam that she was leaving, so he was now in charge. Sam acted as the manager whenever Michelle was absent.
She walked out of the restaurant and climbed into her silver Mercedes SLR McLaren Derek got for her on her twenty eight birthday.
Michelle stopped at a Chinese restaurant and ordered some Chinese takeout. After that she headed home.
Michelle drove into the beautiful compound with a well designed modern mansion. It s landscape is very large with an outdoor infinity pool. She got out of her car and went into the mansion, heading straight to the kitchen to re-heat the meal in the microwave. After re-heating the meal, she went into their bedroom and took off her heels and peach jacket, and remained in her white tank top and black skinny pants.
Inside the bedroom, was a king sized bed in the middle and a bench at the foot of the bed, with a TV right in front of the bed. There were two nightstands on each side of the TV with flower vase on each stand. The bedroom was predominantly designed with fine wood, with a touch of cream and brown.
The bathroom and walk in closet were on the right side of the bedroom.
Michelle decided to go to the living room to watch TV. While she was surfing through the TV, the front door opened revealing Derek in a navy blue suit and tie, with a white shirt and a pair of brogues.
Derek Howard Jr is a thirty year old man. He has a tanned skin, six feet three inches tall with a very black long hair and captivating grey eyes. He is ruggedly handsome with a broad and masculine body features.
Michelle ran up to him and gave him a tight hug. He dropped his briefcase and lifted her up by her thighs, causing her to wrap her legs around his torso and locked her lips with his in a passionate kiss.
"It looks like someone really missed me a lot today" Derek said with a light chuckle.
Michelle blushed and buried her face in the crook of his neck. Derek walked into the living room with Michelle still in his arms and gently put her down on the couch.
"How was your day at work?" she asked.
"Boring as always. I couldn t wait to come back home" He replied.
"Why don t you go take a shower while I set the table" She said, handing him his briefcase.
"Yes boss" He replied and gave her a quick kiss before heading upstairs.
After shower, Derek came downstairs to join Michelle in the dining room. He was now casual, wearing a black t-shirt and sweatpants. His long hair now poured out and slightly wet.
Michelle couldn t help but stare. She loved Derek s long hair so much and sometimes envied the fact that a guy could have hair this long.
"Nathan called me earlier today" Derek began.
"Really?! How is he doing?"
"He is fine. He called to let me know that he ll be returning to Washington"
"That s nice" Michelle replied.
"He said he d come live with us for awhile before he gets his own place, that s if you don t mind?"
"I don t mind at all… When will he be coming down, so I can make preparations and get the guest room ready?" she asked.
"He ll be coming on Saturday"
"That s five days from today… Then I have to call the cleaning agency tomorrow to come do some clean-up"
Derek gave a shrug.
"Do what you want, babe"

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

“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.

He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.

"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."

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.
