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.

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."

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

The War God Alpha's Arranged Bride
Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."
Danielle Harris is the daughter of an overprotective police chief and has led a sheltered life. As a kindergarten teacher, she's as far removed from the world of Harleys and bikers as you could get, but when she's rescued by the sexy and dangerous Austin Carver, her life is changed forever.

Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
