Introduction
Yet he personally sent her to hell...
Blood draws, surgeries, a car accident, a raging fire—step by step, he led her to her demise, even sparing not their child.
But when she truly died, he went mad searching for her...
Sophia... come back to me. You loathe me so much, how can you just die...
Chapter 1
"I didn't do it!"
"I don't want to give blood!"
"I didn't hurt Eva Walters! I didn't hurt your father! I didn't do anything!"
In the cramped storage room, Sophia Bennett cradled her pregnant belly with one hand and held the door with the other, trying to stop it from being forced open.
But her cries didn't stop the banging. It just got louder.
Bang!
Bang!
BANG!
With a final kick, the door burst open and she fell hard onto the dusty floor. A cloud of dirt rose around her as Lucas Bennett stormed in, his tall figure looking even more intimidating in the small space, face full of barely contained rage.
"You're leaving me no choice, Sophia!" he snapped, striding toward her, backing her into the corner before yanking her forward roughly. "The doctor's here. Try anything and don't blame me for going harsh!"
"No! I won't go!" Sophia clung to the doorframe with all her strength. "Lucas! I've been Eva's walking blood bank for three years! I'm seven months pregnant! Can't you spare me—spare our baby—for once? The doctor said my health can't take it. If I give blood again, me and the baby could die!"
Lucas's tone went ice cold. "Spare you? And who spared my dad? Who spared Eva? It's only been three years, and you're already whining? Be quiet and stay in line."
"It wasn't me! Please believe me..."
Smack!
Lucas spun around and slapped her across the face. The hit was so hard it knocked her off balance—she hit her forehead on the cabinet, then collapsed onto the ground.
"You ruined my dad's life—you left him in a coma! You wrecked Eva's mind! She's sick, Sophia. Don't dare pretend you didn't do it!"
"It wasn't me! Why won't you believe me?" Sophia let the blood drip from her forehead, one arm still wrapped around her belly, tears pouring nonstop.
"Eva asked me to meet her at that hotel—I swear I was on my way, but I got stuck in traffic. I don't know what happened to her. I don't know why your dad fell with her. I swear I didn't touch them.""I got there too late. Everything had already happened."
"I swear I didn't do it, I really didn't! What exactly do you want me to admit to...?"
Sophia's voice grew raspy as she kept struggling to speak, full of fear and frustration. By the end of her sentence, it broke into a raw, desperate cry.
Lucas's chest rose in a shaky breath.
But the evidence was all there—clear as day. If it wasn't Sophia, then what? Did his own father and Eva fake everything with their lives just to frame her?
Unbelievable. She still wouldn't admit it. Disgusted, he let go of her hand and gripped her chin instead, forcing her to look at him.
"Sophia," he said with a sneer, "don't act like some poor victim. If Eva didn't have such a rare blood type, and if yours wasn't a match, I would've had you locked up ages ago. You wouldn't be sitting here as Mrs. Bennett, pregnant with that damn baby."
Without giving her a chance to respond, Lucas stomped on her leg as her hands reached out to fight him off.
Then he grabbed her ankle and dragged her across the hallway like she was nothing—like she wasn't even human. He threw her onto the bed in the center of the room.
The nurses waiting inside moved quickly, pinning each of her limbs down.
"Mr. Bennett, shall we proceed now?" the leading doctor asked, his brows slightly furrowed. He'd been to the Bennetts' home plenty of times before and knew about Sophia's so-called past. But right now... wasn't she pregnant?
"Do it," Lucas ordered coldly.
His voice cut through the room like a blade.
Sophia had been struggling like mad, but now she suddenly froze. When she looked at Lucas, her eyes shimmered with a weird kind of amusement. She even let out a quiet laugh, her lips curving faintly in a smile.
It stung Lucas in a way he couldn't explain.
No! Eva was still in the clinic waiting for a transfusion. He couldn't let himself go soft now—not for her!
He gave her one last glance, then turned and left without a word.
"Move faster!" he snapped over his shoulder.
In under a minute, the doctor had snipped her sleeve and found a clear spot on her bruised, needle-pocked arm to stick the needle in.
"Wait—her hemoglobin's low! She's anemic. Stop the draw immediately!"As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Sophia, already hanging by a thread, felt everything go black and collapsed on the spot…

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

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!

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. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
