Introduction
Tears welled up in my eyes as I glared at him and shouted back, "Yes! So what? We have nothing between us.Who the hell are you to question me?"
Kingsley burst into laughter, his laugh so sinister that it sent chills down my spine; looking at him, I felt both terrified and utterly estranged.
"He's a gentleman, sure, but can he make you climax in bed?" It was only then that I realized Kingsley had backed me into a corner.
His hand slid my short skirt up, his fingers teasing along the edge of my already drenched panties.
"Miss Erin, you're soaked for me!"
Chapter 1
Erin's POV:
"Kai! Fuck me!" I couldn't help but urge kai.
Kai was my fiancé. Today he texted me to meet him at this hotel.
I never thought he actually wanted to spend this wonderful night with me!
Today was also my 18th birthday! Everything was so perfect!
The man's penis thrust into my body. I moaned loudly.
"Kai! Fuck me!"
But a stranger's voice rang in my ear: "Wrong name! My name is..."
...
"Ding." I was woken by my phone ringing.
Dad's number was flashing on the screen. I swiped to answer, and his furious voice nearly shattered the speaker.
"Erin! Get home right now!"
The call ended. I realized I was alone in the huge bed.
Kai probably went to handle some business.
Fragments of last night's memories flooded back: yesterday I received my college acceptance letter, the whole family was celebrating for me, my stepsister Gloria handed me champagne with fine bubbles, I got a text from Kai.
Then I made love with my fiancé Kai!
Thinking about this, I couldn't stop blushing.
I threw on clothes and hurried downstairs. As the car drove through the familiar estate gates, I was still figuring out how to explain to Dad.
Although sleeping with my fiancé wasn't inappropriate, he was so angry and urgently calling me home. It must be related to my not coming home last night.
I pushed open the door. Dad sat in the center of the sofa, his face ashen.
"Kneel down!" Dad commanded coldly.
Before I could react, two made men stepped forward, gripping my shoulders from both sides. My knees hit the floor hard, making me gasp from the pain.
"Dad, what happened?"
He suddenly threw a stack of photos at my face. The photos scattered on the ground.
They were photos of me at the hotel last night. I didn't know how Dad got these.
"You were so desperate you went and fooled around with some random man!"
Dad's roar made my eardrums ache.
He slapped my face. My mouth immediately filled with the taste of blood.
"I've always told you to control your pussy. That's for Kai to use! It's your only purpose! Now you're not a virgin anymore. How can you fulfill your engagement to Kai!"
Hearing Dad so bluntly treat me like a high-class prostitute still made me angry.
He'd educated me this way since childhood. My purpose was to marry for the family's benefit.
I had to ensure I remained a virgin so I could fetch a good price.
"I didn't! Dad, the man last night was Kai!" I argued loudly.
Kai was my fiancé, and I was already 18. There was nothing wrong with us being intimate.
"Sister, it's one thing for you to mess around with other men, but how can you lie to Dad!" My stepsister Gloria immediately accused me.
My stepmother chimed in, "Erin, last night Kai was with us at the hospital staying with Gloria because she fainted in the middle of the night."
I didn't question why Kai, as my fiancé, would stay with Gloria when she was sick. Instead, this revelation shocked me so much my whole body trembled.
"Impossible!"
I struggled to get up but was held down tighter by the bodyguards.
If the man yesterday wasn't Kai, then who was it?
"Gloria, you're lying!" I couldn't believe it.
Dad slapped me again. I was knocked to the ground.
"We were all at the hospital yesterday!"
Dad's words sentenced me to death!
Panic, helplessness, fear. Many emotions fought inside my body. Then in my peripheral vision, I saw Kai walk in.
Tears streamed down my face. I reached out to him.
"Kai! The man at the hotel last night was you, wasn't it?"
Please, Kai, confirm what I'm saying!
I begged in my heart!
I'd loved Kai for eighteen years. How could I mess around with another man!
Kai's expression was still gentle, but he didn't take my outstretched hand.
He just crouched down to look at me. "Erin, I was at the hospital all last night."
I felt a rumbling in my ears, like thunder exploding beside me.
The man at the hotel yesterday really wasn't Kai!
But I clearly received a text from Kai!
"I got your text! You told me to come to the hotel room!"
I tremblingly took out my phone, urgently showing it to Kai.
Kai looked confused. He took my phone, then sighed.
"Erin, this number isn't mine."
I looked at my phone screen again. Although the contact was labeled as Kai, it wasn't Kai's phone number!
I suddenly remembered yesterday my phone disappeared for a while. Later Gloria brought it to me, saying I'd dropped it in my room. Then I drank the fruit wine she gave me, and I felt dizzy. At the hotel, I couldn't even see people clearly.
"It was you! Gloria!" I broke free from the people holding me and grabbed Gloria's collar.
"There was something wrong with that drink you gave me!"
Ever since Gloria entered this house, she'd been targeting me!
She was the child Dad had with his mistress Hilda. After my mother died, Hilda moved into this house. She and Gloria tortured me together, always stealing my things.
"Sister, what are you talking about! What does this have to do with me?" Gloria sounded aggrieved, but she leaned close to my ear and mocked me, "Who told you to be so stupid? I'm going to take everything that's yours!"
I raised my hand to slap her smug face, but Dad's whip came faster. He lashed me, and I fell to the ground.
"You did something shameless and now you're trying to frame Gloria!" Dad cursed at me.
"I didn't! Gloria really framed me!" I cried, looking at Dad, hoping he would believe me.
But his eyes only held disgust for me.
I looked at Kai again. "Kai, you believe me!"
Kai looked at me disappointedly. "Erin, Gloria has always spoken up for you, but you keep targeting her. You've become so strange now. Before when you complained about Gloria, I thought it was because you lost your mother and felt insecure. But today you really shouldn't treat Gloria this way. Erin, you've disappointed me so much. I'm breaking off our engagement!"

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.

The Unbreakable Oath
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.

Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried.

The Devil’s Contract: Kiss Me Like A Lie
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.
Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
