Chapter 1
Anna’s POV
Storm clouds settled in. I knew it was going to snow before I got to the cabin, but at least. I was close enough. If something happens, I can find some kind of shelter. My parents died two months ago and left me a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I loved it as a kid, but haven’t been
back since then. I don’t know what kind of shape this place is in; I hope it's livable since my fiancée officially left me this morning.
Grabbing my bag from the closet, I was only going to take what I needed. I needed to get out of here fast. I had a life planned with Jacob, but he tossed it away when I caught him in bed with another woman. He blamed me for it, fine, whatever.
“Stupid,” I said, shaking my head. I don’t even know how I didn’t see this coming, or how he got away with it. He said it’s been months of fucking other girls. Damn, that stings more than ever. Tears form in my eyes, but I push them aside and wipe my face.
I can’t cry over someone who treated me badly, cheated on me, and tossed it in my face like it was my fault.
Was it my fault?
I know I should face the truth. I am not going to be good for anyone, but I thought I was. I did everything for him, cleaning, massages, and cooking. But he found some side piece, and she seemed to do better for him. I guess I am cutting my losses and hoping I find someone who
is going to love me for me and not make me feel like a slave. I know I am not a slave. I grabbed my computer, journal, and a few other things before I walked out to my car. I tossed the things in the back seat. I’ve been living here for the past five years.
“Goodbye, Jake,” I said, turning my car on.
“We need to chat.” A text came in from Jake.
“No, there is nothing to talk about.” I sent it back. “I am leaving the apartment now; I’ll never miss you,” I said, tossing my phone aside. I grabbed my GPS and put the address of my cabin in. I know I should see him one more time, but I don't know if I can deal with what is happening. I don't want to forgive him again for cheating on me and making me feel less than him.
“Great two hours.” I sighed before I pulled out onto the road. I grabbed a coffee and cookies for the road. I haven’t eaten in a few days, so I forced myself to eat the cookies. They made me sick, and it made me think of when Jake bought me cookies the first time we met. I tossed the rest in the back seat.
Two hours later.
Passing the final sign before my exit, my heart is in my throat. I don’t know what to expect out here. I know I can live out here for a while, but I am going to need to find work or something.
Getting off the exit, it started to snow. Not something I wanted, but I guess it could be worse. It picked up the farther I drove into the forest. I love the forest, but I didn’t know if I was brave enough to try to survive it. Now I don’t have any choice. I knew I was ten minutes away from the cabin when something darted out in front of my car. I swerved to avoid it and landed in a ditch. I tried backing the car out, but it was stuck. I didn't need this; I needed someone to help me. But looking around, I don't see a single light, not close enough to me to help.
“Fuck.” I snapped. “I don’t need this. Why am I having so much bad luck?” I know this isn’t bad luck; it had to be worse. I knew I could get to the cabin before the sun came up, but whatever darted in front of my car was big.
Getting out of my car, I looked around again. It was dark; the only light was from my headlights, and those were dimming. I don’t know what I did to deserve this, but I wish something good would come out of this. I know I wasn’t a good girlfriend, but why am I still suffering? Maybe Jake did something to my car, and this is what I get to deal with. He knew I was leaving for the cabin, and now I don’t even know if I am going to make it there. I kicked my car again. “Piece of Shit.”
“Great!” I yelled. “Thanks!” I said, kicking my car again, and it turned off. I sighed. I don't know what the hell I am going to do. I know my cabin isn’t far, but I cannot see. A howl from a wolf startled me, and it did it again on the other side of the road. I cannot tell how close they are. If I get eaten by wolves, at least I go out like this. I guess.
Grabbing my bag out of the back seat, I am going to have to come back when it’s daylight. I doubt anyone is going to mess with my car. I turned my flashlight on from my phone and headed in the direction of the cabin.
One hour later.
Making it to the cabin, it’s cold, and I am wet. I hated the snow for a reason, and this is just giving me another reason to hate it. I hope the cabin is warm. I don’t know what I will do if it’s cold or I cannot get a fire started.
Forcing the door open, it’s cold, but at least it doesn’t look like it’s in bad shape. I know my dad wanted to do some repairs, but he got sick first, and then my mother. I don’t really believe they just got the flu and died; I think there was more to it, but since it was ruled natural, the police didn’t want to look into it.
Looking around, I found a lamp, I lit it with my lighter, and then managed to find the wood outside for the fire. But most of it is ruined.
“Great,” I said, rolling my eyes. “I guess I am going to have to keep warm another way, and tomorrow I hope my car works and I can get some stuff I need for this place,” I said, rubbing my arms. I knew my father wanted this place to be nice, but it’s a shithole.
Throwing my computer on the bed, at least I have cell service, so I can hotspot if I want to do the internet. If I can figure out how to pay for everything, this place won’t be bad. I don’t have work at the moment, but my parents did leave me a lot of money, so I can take my time finding work. I think I will work on a novel or two and see if I can break into the scene there. I settled in for the night. Even though every once in a while, I would hear a howl from a wolf. I didn’t know we had wolves here now.

Werewolf's Heartsong
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off.

The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

Mating Moon
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
