Introduction
It was too late for Cheska to react or understand what he meant. All she knew was that she was on the bottom while Matthew was on top of her. He had changed their position so easily.
"Hey, what are you doing? It was an accident," Cheska tried to reason while pushing him away. But she knew her push was too weak, and her hands stopped moving.
"Perhaps I can give you a minor example of how I plan to punish you if you take offense towards me," Matthew said, focusing his gaze on her lips. He did not hide the lust that was clearly reflected in his eyes. But instead of being scared, Cheska felt excitement.
'Damn you, Cheska! Why aren't you doing anything? Why are you waiting to taste his lips?' Her mind screamed, but her body remained frozen, waiting for his kiss.
—*—
Cheska's been waiting for her mate for a year now. And when she found him, her world crumbles because the mate given by the goddess is none other than Matthew De Silva— the alpha of the pack and her STEPBROTHER!
Tormented by her feeling, Cheska decided to reject the mate bond but Matthew has a different plan...
But how can Cheska escape the bond binding them, if the person she is escaping from is the one who makes a way for them to get closer?
Will she choose to escape for the forbidden love?
Or will she choose to give in and chose to be love?
Chapter 1
"Cheska, you look stunning. Hurry up, your brother and his aviation associate are on their way, and you know how much he despises delays," Cheska's mother reminded her with a chuckle as she peeked through the door.
"If he can't handle waiting without becoming irate, then he's not fit to be an alpha. He needs to learn how to manage his temper," Cheska replied with a smile as she grabbed her shoulder bag.
"Ha! Big sister, you may be great at convincing our parents, but for Matthew, you're a jerk!" Liam teased, making a strange face that irritated Cheska even more.
"You little rascal! What on earth made you say that? Why do you think I'm afraid of Matthew when I haven't seen him in five years?" Cheska widened her eyes, attempting to intimidate her younger brother, but he simply laughed in response.
"Enough bickering, both of you! Cheska, hurry up! Your brother Matthew informed you that the aircraft would arrive at three o'clock. I wouldn't have asked you to pick him up if it weren't for his friend. But he's with the Shadow pack's daughter, so it would be awkward to let them take a cab," Cheska's mother interjected.
"Okay, I'm leaving... I would leave Matthew at the airport if it weren't for my amazing mom," Cheska replied with a smile, grabbing the keys to her sports car.
As Cheska started the car's engine, she couldn't help but think about the five years that had passed since she last saw her brother. It was time for Matthew to leave and study to become an alpha. Cheska and her mother had first arrived in Thunder pack territory, where Matthew's father, Morris De Silva, was the alpha. The Thunder pack's council had initially opposed Cheska's mother becoming the Luna, but Morris's decision prevailed, and her mother had proven to be an excellent Luna.
But as Cheska thought about her brother Matthew, she couldn't help but wonder, "Geez, how do I even recognize him? It's been five years, and I can't remember his face." She chuckled and shrugged, pushing down on the accelerator. It only took her less than twenty minutes to reach the airport, which was significantly less time than the usual hour-long drive.
"Great! My mom will be pleased that I arrived on time!" Cheska exclaimed as she put on her sunglasses. She hurried into the airport, dressed like a fashion model.
As Cheska walked through the airport, she couldn't help but notice the eyes that were watching her every move. After all, she was known as Cheska Macbride, the Thunder pack's so-called Barbie. However, instead of blond hair, she had wavy silver-colored hair.
"I never met my mate until I was eighteen, but even though he was two years later, I wasn't afraid," Cheska thought to herself, confident that her mate was out there somewhere. She had noticed her wolf's peculiar behavior over the past ten days and was certain that she would run into him soon.
All Cheska had to do now was wait and hope that Matthew recognized her. Perhaps her younger brother had sent him a photo of her at some point, so she might look familiar to him.
"Excuse me," a courageous guy approached her, causing Cheska to furrow her brow. It was unusual for someone to approach her directly. "Yes?" she responded, feeling a bit bitter.
"Hello, my name is Xander. I'm also waiting for someone, but their flight seems to be delayed. Maybe you'd like to get some coffee while you wait?" Xander asked kindly.
Cheska took off her spectacles, and a sly grin appeared on her lips. "You want to get a cup of coffee with me? Xander, you're adorable, but I respectfully decline," she replied. She wanted to scream at him, but she couldn't because so many eyes were on her.
"Perhaps you're apprehensive because you don't know who I am. I'm the Alpha of the Black pack. I'm sure you've heard of my pack, which is the fourth most powerful on the entire continent," Xander explained, trying to impress her.
"Yes, I know your pack, and I appreciate the offer, but I must respectfully decline," Cheska smiled as she rejected Xander's offer. She didn't want to argue with the Black pack's Alpha, but she also didn't want to force herself to accept the offer.
However, Xander's grin faded and was replaced with displeasure as he walked closer to her, showing that he didn't appreciate her response. "How dare you make me seem bad! I'm the boss!" Xander grabbed Cheska's arm and forcibly pushed her closer to him, which astonished her.
"Let me go! Perhaps you didn't recognize me, but my name is Cheska Macbride, and my mother is the Luna of the Thunder pack!" Cheska exclaimed, worried but making sure that her words were clear.
"Huh! What about the Thunder pack? Are you proud of a pack that lacks an Alpha? If I were you, I'd ditch that useless pack and join mine. I'll make you a Luna!" Xander retorted.
"A useless pack?! How dare you insult the Thunder pack!" Cheska was incensed. She hated everyone who underestimated the pack led by her Mother.
Xander sneered and pulled Cheska closer. "Why? Am I lying? Every pack underestimates your pack because your Alpha is no where to be found!"
After this remark, Xander tried to kiss Cheska but a wide palm caught his face. In an instant, Xander's body flew away.
Cheska lost her balance and fell into the strong arms. But what called her passing more was her wolf—screaming the words 'MATE!'
"You're a jerk! Who do you think you are?!" Xander yelled as he struggled to rise.
However, the man who was clutching Cheska's waist disregarded Xander and stared at her face. "Damn it!"
Cheska heard the man mumble as his grasp around her waist tightened. She was clueless why he is furious.
"Mr. Matthew De Silva! I know the girl in distress is beautiful, but don't forget that you have a female friend," a voice interrupted.
Cheska's eyes widened in surprise. "Your Matthew De Silva?" she failed to hide her terror. 'What is going on? This guy is my brother! How can he be one my mate?
"Nice to see you again, Cheska," Matthew said, his mind still grappling with the revelation that his little sister was his mate.
"This can't be happening," Cheska mumbled to herself, but Matthew heard her.
"Sister? I didn't know you had a sibling, Matthew," the voice interrupted again.
"She is not my sibling. At the very least, we are not related by blood," Matthew clarified, his mind racing with the implications of what this meant for their family and pack.
"So your Matthew De Silva! The missing alpha of the Thunder pack!" Xander commented. He was standing, and now he was glaring at Matthew, ready for a fight.
Matthew, put Cheska behind him and face Xander. "Looks like your powerful to say that my pack is weak..." Matthew's voice was full of determination and confidence.
Xander felt a shiver because Matthew's gaze was threatening that's why he decided to fold. "Be thankful I'm in a hurry because if not, I'll crush you here!"
Just like that, Xander hurriedly leave the area. Making Cheska speechless.

When the truth finally came out, it was already too late.
Vivian had divorced him.
She had disappeared with his unborn child.
And she had no intention of coming back.
Five years later, the former ballerina returned as the sole heiress of a powerful family.
Standing beside her was a little girl with eyes identical to Caden Lux's.

Could she ever forgive the man who chose another woman over his own wife?
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface.

Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
CHASING GHOSTS
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Bride To The Werewolf King
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret

My heart stuttered.
This could not be real.
“But the rules—“
“I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.
It was killing me.
