Chapter 1
Isabella wore a long face as she watched her friends and boyfriend dance to the loud music. Today, she had graduated from the London Imperial College as the valedictorian. Her parents were not even present to listen to her public address.
The excuse her mother gave was that her father's business was crumbling and so they couldn't fly from Panama. "You are twenty-one, put on your big girl shoes and make us proud" her mother had said. She wished they realized how much their presence meant to her.
She had given way to tears during her valedictory address when she noticed that her friends all had families who came to celebrate with them. She had felt so alone. "Come on Isa", her boyfriend said as he dragged her to the dance floor.
"Don't tell me you are still sulking because your parents couldn't make it to your graduation. You need to get over it. It's time to party."
Isabella smiled and blended in with her friends at the club. "Let me at least do it for steve," she told herself.
After dancing for a while, she drank until she became tipsy while some of her friends were already wasted. Her boyfriend Steve took her to a corner and they started kissing passionately.
Since she was wearing a short gown, he slid his fingers in between her legs and reached for her underwear. She instinctively grabbed his hands urging him not to go further.
"Please Isa," he whispered into her ears. "How much longer would you make me wait? It's been three years already. Haven't I tried?"
Isabella's slurry voice replied, "I know you have tried but I told you from the onset, I don't want to have sex before I am married."
"There you go again with this conservative behavior."
"Do not say that Steve, you know about the promise I made to my late grandma."
"To hell with your stupid promise," Steve yelled. "You know what, I'm out of here. Call me when you are ready to think about my happiness."
"Please Steve, don't walk away from me," Isabella said in a loud voice. "At least drop me off at home."
Steve stopped in his tracks, and even though he was upset with her, he couldn't bear to leave her alone in her condition. If anything bad happened to her, he would never be able to forgive himself.
He carried her to where he parked his car, placed her in the passenger seat, and drove to her rented apartment.
When he arrived, he looked at the weak Isabella and said, "We are here. You can get off now."
As she got down, she looked at him while feeling bad and asked, "Would you like to come in for a while?"
"What for? It's not like you are going to let me touch you."
Isabella looked at him sadly and said "Goodnight baby, I love you," before staggering to her door.
As he watched her leave, Steve felt his anger rise. How could she claim to love him yet deny him the pleasures that lay in between her legs? He was really in love with her but he felt she didn't feel the same way.
She was probably just leading him on until she no longer had use for him. When she closed her door, he drove off, promising himself that he will give her the cold shoulder from henceforth.
When Isabella entered her room, she went straight to the bathroom and showered. After that, she dialed Steve's number to find out if he had arrived home but he rejected her call.
She kept trying to call him but he kept rejecting it. After a while, she received a text from him that read, "Stop calling me, I need space."
Isabella wondered if she had done the right thing. She recalled when she was leaving home for London, her grandmother had wept bitterly because they were very close.
She had asked Isabella to promise her that she would keep her virginity until she got married. "If I had known it would be this hard I would not have made that promise," she said to herself.
Isabella couldn't bear to break her promise because her grandmother was already dead. Perhaps, if she were to be alive, she would have been present at my graduation, Isabella thought sadly. She felt so alone. Steve had been her first and only boyfriend in college. He was always kind and considerate towards her and now she was about to lose him.
She decided to call her dad and find out how things were going. She called so many times but he didn't answer his phone. She tried calling her mum too and the same thing happened. She felt so abandoned. It was as if nobody wanted her. She broke down in tears and cried herself to sleep.
Isabella woke up very early the following morning. She tried calling Steve again and true to his words, he ignored her. She sighed and decided to give him time to come around.
Her phone finally rang and she thought it was Steve. When she saw that it was her mum, she refused to pick it up. She was upset at the way they had ignored her on a day that was very important to her.
When her mum kept on calling, Isabella decided to pick up her call. She was surprised when she heard her mum crying helplessly. "What is it, mum? Why are you crying?"
"Isabella, we are done for. We have lost everything. Your father filed for bankruptcy yesterday. We didn't want to tell you because it was a big day for you."
Trying so hard to control her rapidly beating heart. She said "It's okay mom, calm down. It's not the end of the word."
"Isabella, it is the end of the world. As I speak to you, the bank has seized everything we own. We are homeless and there are lawsuits against your father.
He couldn't bear it and suffered a cardiac arrest last night which resulted in a partial stroke. We are currently at the hospital and your father can't move his limbs anymore. Isabella, I feel like dying. I don't want to live anymore."
Isabella began to cry. "Please don't say that mum. I'm coming right away. I will take the next available flight. Please just hang on mum, I'm begging you."
After ending the call, Isabella clutched her chest as she felt an indescribable pain. She dialed Steve's number one more time to tell him about everything but he ignored her call. She hurriedly packed her bag, ran out of the house, and headed for the airport.

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."

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.

Accardi
“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.

Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.

For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.

Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.

She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
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.
