Introduction
Chapter 1
"I can't believe it," I say avoiding letting go of the tears that have already accumulated in my eyes.
"Laura, baby, please, I didn't mean...”
"Now you're going to tell me you didn't want to sleep with her?!" I interrupt him, already screaming with tears running down my cheeks.
In my words there is only a feeling of anger, anger that grew more and more.
"Seriously, love, seriously, I didn't mean..." He looks at me with a pleading look in his eyes, but I'm not willing to forgive this.
“This is where it ends, Gareth.” He resigns himself “Goodbye.”
And I leave his house as fast as my feet will carry me, visualize my car and head towards it.
I start to drive home, as I do so my mind can only think of the last few months with Gareth.
To think that two years of relationship went to waste in less than twenty minutes.
All because of an infidelity that in no way do I intend to forgive.
I hear the sound of my cell phone indicating that I am receiving a call, I look at the screen and my sister's name appears on it.
“Hi Liliam, what's up?” I ask when picking up.
"Hello Liliam? Oh really?” She's a little upset, and I don't blame her, she just gave birth to her first daughter and that has her a little stressed “dad is angry, he says that if you don't arrive before the man he invited home does going to...”
“Shit! I forgot, but I'm coming, tell him not to worry” I say quickly, cutting off the communication and drying my face.
It was only a block away to get home. Dad had told us that a man would arrive today who wanted to invest in one of the companies, and that he had invited him over, since the man lived in Los Angeles, and he had no intention of traveling, his second daughter had just given birth to birth to her third granddaughter.
Apparently dad's future partner is very interested in doing business with him, since he did not oppose or object to traveling from Los Angeles to New York.
When I get home I park the car and get out of it, when I open the door the first thing I see are two brown hair running towards me.
“Aunt!” Amanda says, stretching out the A. "I missed you." Amanda is the second daughter of Alexandre, my older brother, she is only two years old.
“But it was only a few minutes, little one” I say trying to hide the sadness in my voice, while I take her in my arms and leave many kisses on her face.
“But we still miss you, aunt” says Liam, he is my brother's eldest son, and also my father's eldest grandson, he is four years old, he is also very cute, I am sure that when he grows up he will be a heartbreaker.
"Where were you, Laura?" My father looks at me with a stern expression on his face.
“Sorry dad, I forgot, but I'm here.” I say advancing towards him and depositing a kiss on his cheek.
He Smiled.
“It's fine little one, but go get ready quickly, Mr. Smith will be here in a few minutes. Give me this little princess, I'll take her to her parents.”
“Ok dad.” He murmured as he left Amanda in her arms and I watched him leave with Liam, following in his footsteps.
When I go up the stairs I go through the corridor where my room is located, which is next to my sister's, when I pass through the front I hear little Sarah crying.
For only a week to live, she cries very hard.
I decide to ask if he needs help and I knock twice on the door, immediately Leandro. My sister's husband and Sarah's father appears behind her with a tired expression on her face.
"Oh! Laura, can I help you with something?”
“I ask the same thing, Leandro, do you want me to help you?”
“Yeah!” Liliam yells from inside “ Please, little sister, take Sarah, while we prepare for lunch, we're tired” She looks at me with a pleading face, I nod and she hands me the baby who is wearing bunny pajamas, she looks so tender.
I leave Liliam's room and go to my own, when I enter I leave Sarah, who strangely hasn't cried in the bed surrounded by pillows, and I go into the bathroom to shower.
When I go out I see the sleeping baby. I go into the closet and dress myself in a tight dress on top and a loose blue skirt, I leave my light brown hair loose and I do makeup that highlights my green eyes, at the end I put on black heels and that's it.
“Laura, dad tells you to come down quickly” Says my sister entering my room “Oh my God! You put her to sleep! Sister I love you!” She says when she sees her daughter asleep in my bed, I just laugh and deny while I get up and she takes the baby.
We walk out of the room together, Liliam stopping in her room to put Sarah down in her crib and running out.
"Come on, dad must be mad," she says and takes my hand.
Upon reaching the ground floor we find Alexandre.
“Hurry up, Smith just entered the dining room.” He says with a frown.
We enter the dining room together, and everyone is seated, so in silence we rush to do the same.
"Excuse my daughters' tardiness, Mr. Smith."
My eyes widened at the sight of the man in front of me. I watched him from head to toe and my heart raced so much I was afraid they might hear the beat.

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.

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."
The First Female Alpha
The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.
But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.
