Introduction
I was about to cum inside of her, when I heard several growls coming from behind us. We looked behind us and there were three wolves standing there ready to attack. We finally stood after being frozen in place, I grabbed the towels that I brought with me and handed her one so she could cover herself, I took the other one for myself.
Pulling her into a protective embrace, I kissed the top of her head and put her behind me. I then growled in a very dominant voice at the three wolves standing there. When out of nowhere my mate yelled to them.
"You three shift back"!
I was shocked when they listened. As they were dressing themselves, they did the same.
Chapter 1
I have been running through the forest, no idea how long, all I remember is what horrific scene that my brothers and I left behind. A rival pack decided to take it upon themselves to attack my pack house where my family and other pack members were living.
I heard windows shattering, people screaming and my parents being attacked as my mother yelled to me and my brothers to run. They must have even after my family since we come from an extensive line of royal white wolves, we were always being attacked by some packs or rogues every so often. My name is Emerald Livingston and this is my story.
I have been running for some time now wondering if my brothers are ok, made it out alive and if I will ever see them again. All of a sudden I came to the end of the clearing where I looked down on a giant cliff. Looking up I noticed how big, white, and beautiful.
the full moon looks.
As I am standing there looking at the moon it is getting brighter, when out of nowhere a beam of light comes shooting down from the moon. Out of fear I stood there frozen and could not move out of the way fast enough. I felt power you would never imagine streaming through my veins. It feels unbelievable, I heard that the thousandth female within the royal bloodline would receive powers from goddess Diana that lives inside the moon.
After the amazing moment passed I continued back the way that I came, remembering there was a cave about a mile away. I got to the entrance of the cave, sniffing the air inside while looking around. I knew that it was safe, so I entered. I found a level part of the ground and curled up and went to sleep.
I was woken from my nightmare of last night, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I sat up. I definitely need to wash the mud and grime that was left on my clothes and skin. So, I stood up and walked out of the cave, in hopes of finding a water hole of some sort to bathe in.
Making my way through the forest I finally stopped in another clearing with a lake. As I got closer so that I could strip out of my clothing, I froze, what I just laid my eyes on I could hardly believe it. He was gorgeous, he was a dripping wet God. He had light brown hair, with baby blue eyes, tanned skinned, muscular ( and boy was muscular). Starting to breathe heavily I walked to the embankment, just as he was coming out of the water. My wolf growled inside of me "MINE". Then I heard a responding growl "MINE".
We ran towards one another and wrapped our arms around each other. Our lips smashed together in the most enthusiastic kiss that I have ever had. We pulled each other's clothes off, then he carefully laid me down in the grass, as we both pawed at the other's body.
Kristoff's P.O.V
I slipped out of bed shaking my head as I looked over my shoulder. Why won't she go back to her own bed after I am done with her? As I am getting dressed, I hear a sleepy voice behind me ask.
"Where are you going?"
"Why are you still here? I answered with a question."
"Because I want to be?"
She answered.
"To answer your question." It's none of your business."
"We talked about this Louise, you need to go back to your own room after I'm done doing my thing." "Also, I don't answer to you, you are not my girlfriend nor my MATE!"
"Ok, I'm going, geez. No need to get your balls in a snarl." She said.
She puts a blanket over her naked form and picks up her clothes off of the floor. As she opens the door she turns back and says.
"I'm sorry."
I ignored her apology and continued to get dressed. There is no way I was going to tell her that I was going to the lake, which is my secret place. I like going there to relax and my wolf loves to bathe in it.
When I get there, I strip down to nothing and slowly make my way into the water. I stop in the middle of my bathing, feeling eyes on me, I turn around. Is my eyes deceiving me or is that the most beautiful creature that I have ever seen?
I started getting out of the water, walking slowly towards the beautiful girl standing there just staring at me. When I heard a growl coming from her. "MINE"! She claims. Then my wolf growled "MINE"! I claimed back.
We both ran towards each other, when we got face to face we smashed our lips together, kissing passionately. Then pulling at each other's clothes until we are naked, I gently lay her down in the grass. I could not control myself, or should I say my wolf could not. My hands roamed all over her sexy curvy body. I got one hand on her breast playing with her nipple, while with the other I inserted my finger inside of her and moved it in and out of her wet pussy. My thumb is going nuts on her clit, I look up into her mesmerizing emerald, green eyes. My wolf surfaces and I guess Her’s did too, because the next thing I know is that my cock is inside of her thrusting hard into her and we are both marking one another.

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."

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?
