Introduction
Chapter 1
I felt a very cold substance on me and the effect made me jump out of bed. The cold substance was water, and I could see Ma'am Gina's angry face hovering above me.
"You unfortunate child, do you want to scream down this orphanage?"
I had no idea I was screaming out that loud, I was having a dream and in the dream I was screaming out loud, it felt like I was lost in the river with mermaids around me. I was lost in the water and for someone who had never been in a swimming pool, I swam so well. I had a tail and I was surrounded by other mermaids.
We were playing, I was having fun and all of a sudden some mermen came and captured me, despite my cries and please they took me and locked me up and I screamed for help.
Help! Help!..
"I am sorry Ma'am Gina"
"Sorry for yourself and make yourself useful."
After that she stormed out of the room. I don't know the reason why she hated me so much. She had her favorites and I was very far from being one and she was always quick to show it.
I didn't dwell on it so much because Mother Pamela(mama) had always told me to ignore and avoid her. Unlike Ma'am Gina, Mother Pamela mama as I fondly called her was kind and sweet to me. And I loved her.
I left to start my duties so I don't get on the wrong foot with ma'am Gina. My whole day had been a hectic one, I had cleaned the orphanage and still ma'am Gina was still not satisfied with it. I leaned on the wall to take a quick rest, but unfortunately for me Ma'am Gina was quick to scold me.
"I can't see what you have done, and I don't think you need to pause. Continue cleaning this minute." Ma'am Gina shouted
I quickly went back to dusting and cleaning around just so she could get off my back.
I cleaned the other rooms and ensured everything was well arranged. The orphanage had become really scanty. A lot of children here had been taken away by foster parents and we had become few left.
I had always wanted to know what a complete family felt like but unfortunately I was never taken by any of the people who came for adoption.
And the moment I got to 10 years of age my hope of ever being taken away was dashed. Now I am 22 years, it was time I started fending for myself as ma'am Gina would always say.
"Arya!! Arya!!" Bella, Lara and Joe chorused
"Yes darling"
"How are yew?" Lara asked
"I am good Lara and how are you all?"
"We are very fine" they all chorused.
"Hope you haven't forgotten that my birthday is in a few days?" Bella asked
"I haven't forgotten and I promised to get you something nice, but for now go to your room and have a nap before ma'am Gina meets you here."
And at the mention of ma'am Gina they ran off to their rooms. They were so little. Bella was going to be 6 years in a week's time while Lara and Joe are just 4 years of age. I knew just like me they wished for a complete family. I wondered who my parents were and where they were.
The orphanage was not the best place to be at but it was very much better than living in the streets without a roof over your head.
I was grateful for being opportune to have a bed to lay my head and food to eat even though it was never enough.
I had to deal with the constant nags from ma'am grace and chores which were capable of breaking a man's back, but I did them regardless because I was one of the eldest children there and we had few people to do the chores as the orphanage had no funds and was not capable of employing any helps or workers.
I just finished cleaning the kitchen and was heading over to clean the toilets. When I met Laurie on the way.
"You work too much. You should take your rest now"
Laurie said Laurie was about the same age as me. She was brought in a few minutes after I was brought in so mother Pamela had said and we had taken a liking to each other since we started crawling.
"Ma'am Gina would not like that"
"You should worry over your health and not what that woman thinks"
"You are right, I should worry about my health and ma'am Gina. She makes me sick"
"She is so mean. I have never liked her, and I wish I could smack her each time she speaks to you anyhow"
"I hope she does not hear you say those things. She would be heartbroken since she likes you"
"I don't need her favoritism. Her behavior irks me"
"I just wish she could be a little nicer to me. I can manage that. But I want to leave here soon and start my life properly."
"Me too Arya. I can't wait to leave this place and start fending for myself, meet a handsome man, fall in love, get married and have children of my own."
"I want to explore the city of Salamanca but I also want to find my family"
"I really do not want you to get your hopes up and later crushed."
"I won't."
"What if they are not alive?"
"That I'm not sure if but I know I will find them."
"I hope so too Arya. I wish you all the best"
"I'll join you later but let me finish cleaning before ma'am Gina meets me here"
Laurie left while I continued cleaning, and then I decided to sing. Everyone thought I had a very lovely voice. I sang a lullaby for the little ones at night before they slept and they always wanted me to put them to bed. But just ma'am Gina hated it.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted.

Ultimately, under the relentless pressure from her brothers, she jumped out of a window in despair and died. Her last words were,
"What about Regina's blood transfusions?"

But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.
Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.
Yet when death comes for me, Veyren is the one standing between us.
In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:
Survive long enough to cross the board.
And make the Starless God regret choosing me..............

.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
