Introduction
Literally.
Her one and only friend was... well, her inner self; more to the point, her inner wolf Evangeline, who loved to regale Cassie with Greek mythology stories, and fairytales about werewolf packs far, far away. Being that she lived in a big city where no other people ever mentioned transforming into a wolf, Cassie didn't believe Eva's stories. Further, being that she had never encountered another like her, she opted to alienate herself from the rest of the world, lest they find out the truth about her genetic aberration and find herself in a psych ward – or worse, a laboratory in Area 51.
Enter Braden Hunter, Alpha of the Bloodstone Pack, whom she meets by chance on an ominous, dark and stormy night. Their eyes meet… and after a moment of shock they knew what they were meant to know.
They were mated.
Braden knew he was looking at the one whom the Moon Goddess had hand-picked out for him; the one that was to elevate him in every possible way by merely existing in his life.
Cassie, on the other hand stood wide-eyed and flabbergasted, gasping the first words that popped into her mind.
“Oh, fuck.”
Chapter 1
“We need a pureblood Luna, not a human woman usurping the Luna seat,” the elders of the Bloodstone Pack tried reasoning with their Alpha, Thaddeus Lykos. “The Moon Goddess has finally delivered you a second chance mate. Please don’t waste her grace and wisdom on a decision made by your careless seed."
Thaddeus’ lips tightened with anger. “I assure you, it was not my seed making this decision.”
“Bah,” Corinthos, the elder waved his hand dismissively. “Humans are conniving and avaricious.”
Another elder jumped in, “They are not to be trusted!” He exclaimed as he waved a finger at Thaddeus.
“Especially the women.” A female elder by the name of Annalisa chimed in.
“Diana isn’t like that.” Thaddeus defended. “I have known her for years and it was not she who pursued me, but I who pursued her relentlessly.”
“Pish posh!” The female elder resumed. “Believe me, even a blind woman can smell wealth and prestige, with or without the olfaction of a wolf! She was playing hard-to-get, and she played you!”
“And now she has that half-breed creature in her womb. Are we meant to bow to the little aberration when it’s born?” Corinthos spat out, his words laden with disgust.
Thaddeus growled. “Do not call my child an aberration or you will reap the consequences.”
“Enough!” Thaddeus’ Beta who has been quiet until now let his voice be heard. “Thaddeus, you must understand our reluctance, try to see it from our perspective--“
“As my Beta, I expect you of all people to see things from my perspective, Aeric.” Thaddeus interrupted.
The two leaders stared at each other coldly. The way they threw visual daggers at each other, an outsider would never know they were once as close as brothers.
“And what of Elsbeth?” The female elder broke the tension between the two men. “My daughter says you are her mate. You can’t simply break the mate bond with her. She’s so young and frail. It will surely be the end of her.”
“She’s not my mate!” Thaddeus growled. “I did not feel the mate bond come alive like I did with my Celeste!”
Celeste had been Thaddeus’ first mate. He sensed the bond on the morning of his 18th birthday and being that she was a member of the pack, she was accepted easily with no questions asked. Unfortunately, their union was not to last as she had died during a traumatic childbirth taking their twin pups to the heavens with her.
“Does this Diana even know who you are?” Corinthos asked.
“Or what you are?” Annalisa chimed in with a look of mirth. “Elsbeth is ready to become your Luna now.”
“I am not on trial here!” Thaddeus’ voice boomed through the hall. “I am the Alpha and I do what I feel is best for this pack and the compassion and love for the world that Diana has in her heart is exactly what this pack needs-- as all of you have clearly demonstrated today.” Thaddeus stopped himself and took a breath. “She will be here before the new moon.”
He turned to walk away not knowing he would never make it out the door.

He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.
After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
Alpha Nicholas's Little Mate
What? No—wait… oh Moon Goddess, no.
Please tell me you're joking, Lex.
But she's not. I can feel her excitement bubbling under my skin, while all I feel is dread.
We turn the corner, and the scent hits me like a punch to the chest—cinnamon and something impossibly warm. My eyes scan the room until they land on him. Tall. Commanding. Beautiful.
And then, just as quickly… he sees me.
His expression twists.
"Fuck no."
He turns—and runs.

The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

My back hit the desk. Pain exploded through my skull.
"Girls like you don't get to dream about guys like Kai." Bella's breath was hot on my face. "You don't get to write pathetic love letters."
She shoved me again. Harder.
"Maybe if you weren't such a desperate little—"
I fell. My head cracked against the corner.
Warmth trickled down my neck. Blood.
Their laughter turned to gasps.
The door slammed.
I tried to stand. Couldn't. The room was spinning, fading to black.
