Chapter 1
Violet
“What would you like to have today, Miss Violet?” the waitress asked me with a polite smile.
For fifteen minutes, I stared at Nate across from me, counting how many times his phone lit up instead of his eyes meeting mine.
Alpha Nate was the alpha of Night Howl Pack and the man I was going to be married to soon.
I waited for him to get off the phone. To look at me.
We were seated at the fanciest restaurant of Ashville and I had made the reservations weeks in advance in a desperate attempt to rekindle our relationship.
I had taken an effort to dress up, curl my hair but all of it had gone unnoticed. The restaurant lighting made the sequins on my dress glimmer faintly, and I caught my reflection in the mirrored panel beside us.
I looked… hopeful. Too hopeful.
“I will wait until he is free,” I said.
“Of course,” The waitress nodded and turned to cater to the other customers.
I twiddled with my fork as I looked around. A few tables across from me, a guy proposed to his girlfriend in a round of cheers. I looked away, blinking back the sting in my eyes.
My gaze drifted absently, scanning faces, until movement caught my eye near the corner booth.
The waitress from earlier was talking to a customer.
No, talking was putting it mildly. She was smiling radiantly. Tucking hair behind her ear like she had suddenly forgotten how hands worked.
Her voice was low, but her expression did all the talking. She was flustered and trying very hard but failing to act casual.
Curious, my eyes drifted to the customer she was talking to, a stranger seated alone.
Her cheeks flushed pink and her eyes widened followed by the kind of laughter someone gives when they don’t know what else to do with all the attention suddenly pointed at them.
The man in the corner remained still, relaxed in his seat.
His posture didn’t scream arrogance, just quiet confidence. Like someone used to being watched… and never needing to return the energy.
Whatever he said next made her freeze for a heartbeat and then, in her rush to nod and respond, her elbow grazed the tray.
The water glass tipped.
“Ah. Oh gosh, sorry!” she gasped, scrambling to catch it. She didn’t, and the cold water splashed across the table, some of it hitting the man’s suit jacket.
Mortified, she fumbled for tissues, leaning forward to dab at his chest but he had already done it himself.
The tiniest flicker of disappointment crossed her face that made a faint smile tug at my lips. Cute. Endearing. Everything my own night wasn’t.
Then, unfortunately, he looked up.
His gaze collided with mine, sharp and unhurried. He didn’t look surprised to catch me staring.
And my breath stalled for a moment as the waitress hurried toward the kitchen, cheeks burning.
Nate chose that exact moment to look up from his phone, followed my line of sight, and stiffened. His jaw tensed, and he muttered under his breath, clearly believing the stranger couldn’t hear.
“You’re staring at him? Of all people?” Nate sneered.
I jerked slightly. “I…I wasn’t.”
His words were light, but something underneath was unmistakably… sharp. He felt territorial.
And jealous of a man I’d never spoken to.
“That arrogant son of a bitch thinks the world owes him an apology just for existing. A sweet girl like you has no business asking anything about him.”
I hadn’t asked anything but for one absurd second, my chest warmed at the words sweet girl. But the next instant my hopes took a nosedive upon seeing Nate get up from his seat and shout in a giddy voice.
“I have been waiting for you since morning!”
Nate ran towards the entrance and hugged the girl who had just walked in. She was Nicole, the girl he had worshipped long before I came along.
She was wearing a red dress that left little to imagination, and Nate didn't waste a second pulling her into a hug.
No wonder he’d been glued to his phone all morning.
He escorted her toward me, hand resting at the small of her back, his smile easy and bright in a way I hadn’t seen in months. Not directed at me even once.
“Violet, you remember Nicole, right? She just got back today. Isn’t that amazing?”
Amazing was not the word I had in mind.
I nodded stiffly. “Hi.”
Nicole offered the barest smile and immediately turned her attention back to Nate, her hand brushing his chest as if it belonged there.
I forced myself to tear my gaze off Nate and his perfect little reunion with Nicole, but the ache sat heavy in my chest.
He kept leaning closer to her, laughing at something she whispered, completely forgetting I existed.
“When will you realize that he is not good for us? Ditch him,” my wolf, Rain, whispered in my head. She was a silent witness to my loneliness and pain but lately she had started to voice out her opinions pretty strongly.
She had been nagging me to leave him for ages but my heart didn’t agree to break a relationship so easily.
Annoyed, I got up from my seat to say something, but suddenly somebody screamed.
“Rogue attack!”
Rogue attack in broad daylight?
Chaos erupted as rogues stormed in through the entryway, upending tables and throwing away innocent hotel staff that attempted to fight back.
Snarls and screams echoed through the air while my hand instinctively reached for Nate’s only to grab empty air.
Because he had already started running away with Nicole toward the nearest door, shielding her with his body. He didn’t even glance at me.
I stood frozen, numb with shock.
Something went flying past me and I heard a deep, commanding voice, “Get down!”
Before I could react, I was knocked aside and a glass table crashed on the exact spot I had been standing.
I felt strong arms and the scent of bourbon wrap around my body as I was pushed behind a wall.
I looked up at my savior as he pushed my hair aside, briefly checking for injuries.
“Stay here!” The tattooed stranger spoke in a rich, velvety voice. The same man who had been enjoying his drink alone.
By the time I could open my mouth, he had already slipped out of my temporary hiding spot and ran straight at the attackers as I took a peek around.
I placed my hands on my ears to drown out the noise and stayed behind the wall, too terrified to move.
Meanwhile, he launched himself on the group, flipping tables into barriers, striking with fists and feet too fast for my eyes to follow.
Blood splattered everywhere, mixing with the red roses and painting the floor crimson.
In a mixture of fascination and horror, I saw him lunge at the last rogue who attempted to flee and dragged him back by the collar like a mutt on a tight leash.
In the midst of it all, his eyes flickered back to me for a brief second and widened.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
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."

How did it come to this?
As the school year unfolds, cracks begin to show — in friendships, in family, and in Amelia’s own mind. The lines between loyalty and control blur. Between truth and perception. Between who she is… and who she thinks she needs to be.

They consume you.

Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.
One look into Lara’s eyes, and the Alpha’s world shatters. His eyes turn an absolute shade of black. The bond is undeniable. She is his fated mate.
But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.
Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"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."

King of the Underworld
However, one fateful day, the King of the Underworld appeared before me and rescued me from the clutches of the most powerful Mafia boss's son. With his deep blue eyes fixed on mine, he spoke softly: "Sephie... short for Persephone... Queen of the Underworld. At last, I have found you." Confused by his words, I stammered out a question, “P..pardon? What does that mean?”
But he simply smiled at me and brushed my hair away from my face with gentle fingers: "You are safe now.”
Sephie, named for the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, she's quickly finding out how she's destined to fulfill her namesake's role. Adrik is the King of the Underworld, the boss of all bosses in the city he runs.

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. 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?
