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.

Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
Mated to Her Alpha Instructor
Weeks later, our new Alpha combat instructor walks in. Regis. The guy from the woods. His eyes lock on mine, and I know he recognizes me. Then the secret I've been hiding hits me like a punch: I'm pregnant.
He has an offer that binds us tighter than ever. Protection… or a cage? Whispers turn ugly, darkness closes in. Why am I the one without a wolf? Is he my salvation… or will he drag me to ruin?
HER ALPHA, HER SAVIOUR
Kane Hellboud, charm and wealth personified, wanted only me in exchange for her treatment. No cameras, isolation, or noose-like rules were part of the deal. Behind his smile? Cold, violent possessiveness that destroyed our fake marriage.
Most of all, I didn’t know the supernatural walked among us, hiding in the cracks of ordinary life. Not until Abel Stone stepped into mine—dark-eyed, sharp-tongued, and oozing dangerous promises. He’s my new boss. He shouldn’t make my skin tingle or my pulse race. I shouldn’t feel this primal pull, this illogical recognition that tugs at something deep in my bones.
Around him, lights burst, electronics fry, and something ancient in me awakens.
Kane feels it. His grip tightens, punishments turn brutal, and he hides the truth of what I am.
Trapped between two powerful men, I’m no prey, no pawn—no helpless victim.
Prisons burn. Monsters bleed. As for me? I'm the storm in skin—deadly beyond suspicion.

“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
