She was trembling inside, every fibre of her wanting to shrink away from the man who towered over her, watching her with his disarming gaze. Marc Aryan had unnerved her the first time she’d met him and he still unnerved her now.

“Kiss arse? My contract says you should obey my every command within the terms of said contract.”

Amelia Parker thought she had it all figured out - a successful career as a pediatrician and a fulfilling life. That is until she meets her new patient, James, who changes everything. When James wakes up from a coma with no memory and calls her 'Mummy', Amelia's life takes an unexpected turn.

But, when Amelia is given evidence about her mother's death from the rival family, everything is thrown into chaos.

Can Amelia and Marc overcome the challenges that stand in the way of their love? Will Amelia be able to clear her mother's name? Find out in this captivating romantic novel about love, secrets, and the lengths we go to protect the ones we love.

Chapter 1

“A trophy wife! That’s what she would be!”

Silence filled the breakroom as wide eyes stared over coffee mugs at their senior.

“A woman should have more pride!” continued the white-haired lady passionately. “He is rich and handsome, but that fame covers harsh truths, girlies! A loveless marriage where you are nothing but a piece of meat to show the media! Isn’t that… horrifying?”

The ladies in the room exchanged coy glances.

Someone scoffed quietly. “With all due respect, Dr Keith… I’ll gladly be a piece of meat for a man like that!!”

The room erupted with cheers and laughter from all the other women, making Dr Keith want to pull her hair out.

Standing by the coffee machine with a cup of instant coffee, Dr Amelia Parker watched the commotion with a smile and a scoff. Working at The Hills Foundation Hospital was awesome, but the breakroom gossip among the doctors and nurses made it even better.

“I’d be a piece of meat for him,” agreed Dr Lilian May, giggling happily.

“Absolutely,” said a senior nurse flatly. “If he’s vegetarian, I’d be his celery stick.”

“Ahahaha!!” screamed Dr May, roughly shoving the nurse’s shoulder as she laughed. “We can have a cheeky little love affair!”

Amelia laughed, stalking forward and dropping her cup on the table. “Right, ladies,” They all looked at one of their youngest doctors. “Spill it, who exactly are we talking about?”

“No!” Dr Keith came rushing over to hold her shoulders. “No, Dr Parker, you’re the last remaining normal person in this room! Don’t follow their madness and celebrity worship.”

Amelia pursed her lips at the older doctor. The warning seemed wise, but the ladies had been murmuring excitedly about this man for her entire shift. Curiosity was eating away at her.

“Don’t listen to her, love,” said Maddie, Amelia’s favourite nurse. “He’s a hunk of a man who only the luckiest girl on earth will get!”

She raised a brow. “Is he an actor? Chris Evans?”

Dr Keith sighed as her pager went off. “No! He’s part of the selfish heartless society of conglomerates!” She drained her coffee cup and hurried to the door. “Don’t listen to them, girlie!”

A few more pagers went off and some doctors and nurses rushed out, but Amelia was tugged to the center of the room by Dr May and Maddie who grinned excitedly.

“Say, Leah, you ever heard of the Aryans?” asked Maddie.

Amelia’s confused smile withered a little. “The rich ones?”

“Rich is an understatement!” shouted Dr May as the nurses agreed. “Marc Aryan is not only wealthy, he’s the heir to Aryan Gold and bloody gorgeous, looks every bit like those perfect fictional CEOs. Straight out of a webtoon, love!”

Her smile dimmed and died. Their description of him was unlike anything she wanted to believe.

Amelia felt her pager go off and glanced down at it. “Let’s talk about your billionaire hunk later, Doc, I’ve got to run.”

The thought of spending any of her time discussing some rich man, especially that particular man, was as appealing as biting a cactus. Amelia turned to leave.

“Wait, girl, I’ll be a second!” said Dr May, gripping her elbow. “Do you think I can change from general practice to becoming a family doctor?” She smirked. “That’s the only way to get close to that man.”

A nurse yawned as she stood to stretch. “Isn’t he in Germany or traveling the world and that? God, my bloody feet hurt.”

Maddie cackled. “He’s coming to England!! After seven years away, he’s finally back and the tastiest snack in this godforsaken place. The tabloids are going nuts!”

“The mysterious Marc Aryan has returned!” added Dr May with a dreamy sigh.

Amelia felt her pager go off again. “I’ve got to go, ladies!”

The door flew open and a young nurse stared in at them, breathing hard. “Dr Parker!! Head of paediatrics needs you in ER!”

Leah’s eyes went wide. “E-emergency?” Grabbing her stethoscope, she ran out the door, her heart pounding already. Damn, the old woman would have her for lunch! Ignoring the pager was a big no and Amelia could already feel the consequences.

“What’s going on?” asked Dr May, strolling calmly out of the breakroom.

The breathless nurse shook her head gravely. “Car wreck, all three patients are in bad condition. One of ‘em’s a child.”

“Jesus Christ,” muttered Dr May, watching Amelia race down the hallway.

“But that’s not the shocking part!” said the nurse. She gripped Dr May’s arm. “The patients? One of them’s your fancy billionaire Marc Aryan.”

“Put them on.” I took the dress and the underwear, then I wanted to go back to the bathroom, but she stopped me. It felt like my heart stopped for a second when I heard her order. “Get dressed here. Let me see you.” I didn't get what she meant at first, but when she stared at me with impatience, I knew I must do what she said. I opened my robe and put it on the white sofa next to me. Holding the dress, I wanted to put it on when I heard her again. “Stop.” My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. “Put the dress on the sofa for a second and stand straight.” I did what she said. I stood there completely naked. She examined me from head to toe with her eyes. The way she checked my naked body made me feel terrible. She moved my hair behind my shoulders, gently running her index finger over my chest, and her gaze stopped at my breasts. Then she continued the procedure. Her gaze slowly moved down between my legs, and she looked at it for a while. “Spread your legs, Alice.” She squatted down, and I closed my eyes when she moved to see me from closer. I only hoped that she wasn’t a lesbian or something, but finally she stood up with a satisfied smile. “Perfectly shaved. Men are like that. I’m sure my son will like that too. Your skin is nice and soft, and you are muscular, but not too much. You are perfect for my Gideon. Put the underwear on first, then the dress, Alice.” I had many things to say, but I swallowed them back. I just wanted to escape, and that was the place and time, when I swore to myself I will succeed one time.

My life should have been perfect—successfully starting college, with a caring boyfriend and a best friend. Until I discovered the two of them having sex the night before my eighteenth birthday. Then, during my first full transformation, I discovered a terrifying truth: I am the Soul Bond of Derek Stone, the Alpha of the Darkwood Pack.

The problem is, he's the brother of my ex-boyfriend Bradley.

As a lowly Omega werewolf, I have no right to desire a union with a superior wolf, especially this Alpha leader. Derek Stone isn't just the leader of the Darkwood Pack; he's also a formidable business tycoon. His reputation for ruthlessness makes other packs tremble.

But the ancient werewolf law is clear: if a Pack Alpha rejects his Soul Bond, a curse will descend upon us both.

When Derek suddenly hires me as his assistant secretary, I find myself in a dangerous game. Daily close contact makes the wolf inside me excited, while his cold attitude breaks my heart. Is he deliberately torturing me, or is there something more complex hidden beneath his icy exterior?

As the attraction between us grows stronger, I must make a choice: continue to endure this painful connection, find a way to break the Soul Bond, or make the Pack Alpha fall in love with me and accept me as his Soul Bond.

The LCD screen in the arena showed pictures of the seven fighters in the Alpha Class. There I was, with my new name.
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. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.
