Chapter 1
Jaclyn Rae
I looked at my dad disapprovingly when he just announced that he's arranging with his friend's son. I put my fork and my knife down slowly as I swallowed my food.
"Dad, I don't know why you have to arrange me with someone?" I said in a calm tone even though I really hate the idea of my dad trying to invade my life. My grandmother raised her index finger and here we go again with her long speech about love.
"Jaclyn, it's the best for you. We're worried about you and besides there's nothing wrong with meeting your father's friend's son first." She said smiling brightly at me and I shook my head lightly.
"Grandma, I'm currently loving my job and I don't need a man NOW." I said, emphasizing the last word pretty clearly so my family knows that they don't need to interfere with my love life. My dad raised his eyebrows at me and he let out a long deep sigh. "Jaclyn, we're not getting any younger and we want all of you to settle down very soon."
"Dad, I want to settle down when I'm 30 and I still have 3 years away." I said as I grabbed my fork again.
"3 years is a very short time, Jac. Where will you find a boyfriend if you're still busy working and dating your cars?" My grandma said in a sarcastic tone. She might be in her 70s but she's quite smart when it comes to insulting and giving sarcastic remarks on her grandchildrens.
"I know that you will give me someone who is great and maybe according to your standard but trust me, dad. I don't need to date right now." I said ensuring my dad and my grandmother to stop asking me to date. I continued to eat my dinner and checked the time on my phone.
"Oh! It's time for me to watch 90-days fiance!" My grandmother squealed as she got off from her seat in a speed of light. I looked at her blinking a few times before I ended up shaking my head. "She needs to stop watching that." My dad commented and I let out a small chuckle.
I finished my dinner and decided to sit in the living room while I checked my schedule for tomorrow. My grandmother was busy watching and cursing on Big-Ed who has no neck. Last week, I even saw my grandmother cursing on that neckless-man for using mayonnaise on his head.
"Hi everyone!" My brother, Jace, just got home and he immediately laid on the sofa. "Go eat dinner, Jace." My grandmother said and I looked down on my iPad again to see my schedule.
"Boy, go eat your dinner.." I heard my dad say and Jace plopped beside me, putting his arm around my shoulder. I know that he's up to something when he's acting like this. "What is it?" I asked knowing he will ask me to do something.
"I heard that you're being arranged with someone." He whispered it to my ear and I turned to him pushing his face away from me. "I'm not in the mood for your teasing spree, Jace."
"Who's the unlucky guy, dad?" Jace bluntly asked.
"He's a cardiologist."
"Really? Maybe he could fix your evil and cold heart, Jac. I can't wait to meet this lovely brother-in-law." Jace said as he caressed my head. "Get your hands off me, Jace." I said firmly.
"Ugh! Grandma, why are you watching this neckless-man again?" Jace commented. "Shut it!" My grandmother shut him down and Jace bursted out laughing all of the sudden.
"Dad! Let's send grandma on a 90-days fiance program." Jace suggested and I turned to him disbelief. Jace and his crazy ideas. Sometimes I doubted if we shared the same womb together.
"Don't start, Jace." My grandmother warned. I got up from the sofa and walked towards the stairs. I grabbed my bag that I threw on the floor and walked upstairs to my room. I walked in and put my bag on my vanity.
I heard a knock on the door and let whoever was behind it to walk in. It's my dad and he smiled looking at me. "What's up, dad?" I asked.
"Have lunch with me tomorrow, I'm going to introduce you to my friend's son." He said as he sat on the edge of my bed. I leaned my body to the wall facing my dad. "Dad, I know I've been busy and stuff but do you think it's necessary to arrange me with someone?" I asked because I'm curious what's in his head.
I know parents will always want the best for their kids. Especially my dad, after we lost mom 6 years ago. He changed. He started to make himself busy with work and he even prevented his kids from moving out. He was lonely and still can't accept that mom's already gone. Not only him but mom's death affected me the worst. I went through depression, a bad one. I was suicidal and ran away from home a few times because of it.
"I just want you to be someone who I can trust."
"You trust your friend?"
"We've been friends since highschool, Jaclyn. You saw him a couple of time, Harrison Clayton, remember him?" He asked and I found myself nodding. I remembered Mr. Clayton, we met a few times on a debutante ball. "He's a doctor right? I remember that you told me that he has hospitals across the country."
"Yes, that's right. He has a son named Noah Clayton and he's a cardiologist."
"You want to pair me with a cardiologist? Are you sure?" I asked my dad and he chuckled as he stood up.
"Yeah."
"Very well, let's see this man tomorrow but I won't guarantee you that I will like him."
"It's an arrangement, Jaclyn. We're not forcing you, your happiness will always be my number one priority!"

Excerpt:
She lay before him in all her magnificent beauty draped across his king-size bed in the most compelling and provocative way known to man or beast. And for Alpha Zayne, it was the most captivating view he had ever had the pleasure of seeing with his own eyes.
She stared at his every movement, lips slightly parted, her stunning brown eyes scanning every inch of his gorgeously toned and glorious body while heat radiated off of hers. He was HERS.
Her body trembled in delight and anticipation; she was ready and wanted to be with him in every way.
As innocent as she was, she wanted him to...no need him to take her in the worse ways, bringing her to heights of pleasures she had never experienced before.
Fuck she is beautiful, one fine specimen, and she is all MINE, MY MATE. A wave of pure unbridled possessiveness vibrated through Alpha Zayne. He thanked the Divine Moon Goddess, for she has truly blessed him.
He drank her in, eyes trailing up her toned sexy legs spread wide for him, and she gave him that come-and-get-it look.
Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

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."

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
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.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
