Introduction
Then Rebecca showed up in a red dress.
He put his cloak on her, let her pull his tie, and said, “Next time you act out, I won’t be so forgiving.” I stood there, invisible.
People whispered, “She’s his true mate.”
My wolf Mila warned me—his eyes didn’t hold love. They held control.
Then came the storm.
Alpha King Yves stopped his car. His gold eyes met mine. “It’s my honor to serve my Luna,” he said.
I finally understood—real mates don’t need to be begged.
Today, I hand over the bond annulment. Samuel shouts, “You’ll regret this!”
He doesn’t know—Yves is waiting outside.
Mila whispers:
“Now he sees the truth. He picked a shadow and lost the moon.”
Chapter 1
I turned my head.
Alpha Samuel walked in. A female wolf followed beside him.
Greetings echoed from all directions:
“Good day, Alpha Samuel.”
“Hello, Rebecca.”
It was Pack Council day.
Rebecca stood next to him. I knew who she was.
Red dress. Wavy hair. An elegant smile. She stood close to Alpha Samuel, speaking softly.
It looked more like a bonding ceremony than a political meeting.
My chest tightened.
Samuel suddenly stopped. “Are you cold?”
He took off his coat and gently placed it over her shoulders, adjusting the collar with care.
“I told you to wear something warmer, but no—you had to be vain.”
Rebecca tilted her head back and laughed. Her finger hooked playfully around his tie.
“I dressed up for you. How could I feel cold with you around?”
Samuel shook his head, brushing a loose strand of her hair aside.
“Next time you pull this, I won’t help.”
His voice was soft. The kind of affection only a Luna should receive.
I looked up—and met Rebecca’s eyes.
She paused, then smiled faintly and pulled the coat tighter around her.
I recognized it.
It was his.
Samuel followed her gaze and looked straight at me.
I turned my face away.
In his eyes, a flicker of gold shimmered.
Rebecca clung to his arm, swaying playfully.
“Let’s go. I’m starving. You promised me dessert, remember?”
“You little glutton,” he laughed, ruffling her hair. “Always thinking about food.”
Then he pulled her closer, shielding her as they moved through the crowd.
My fists clenched on their own.
The wolf inside me stirred.
She breathed. She twisted beneath my skin.
But she didn’t speak.
Mlila… I called out silently.
What more do you want me to say?
Her voice finally came—tinged with anger, and exhaustion.
I’m his Luna. I whispered the words, like a prayer.
That’s what you say. He never has.
Her words stabbed like silver needles straight into my nerves.
I watched them walk away. My body felt hollowed out.
Pain surged in my head.
I forced a smile. Murmured an apology to the Council staff. Then left the building.
Behind me, voices drifted from the elders and younger wolves alike:
“Rebecca’s the Luna, right? Alpha’s so gentle with her.”
“Yeah. Even the coat looks like his.”
“Wait, isn’t she not his fated mate?”
“That’s what I heard.”
“Rumor says his real Luna’s someone else.”
“Seriously?”
“News from Silver Grove says he’s been hiding her identity all this time.”
My heart clenched hard.
They don’t know who you are. They don’t care who you are.
Why are you still standing here, waiting for a gaze that will never turn back?
Mlila’s voice tore through my ribs.
Her pain mirrored mine.
I kept walking.
It was May. The weather was warm.
But my blood felt cold.
The chill wasn’t in the air.
It rose from somewhere deeper—like silver poisoning spreading through bone.
My temples throbbed. Mlila fell silent again.
Do you hate him? I asked quietly.
She didn’t reply at once.
Then—I don’t hate him. I hate that we kept waiting.
The words caught in my throat. I couldn’t breathe.
And then—
Bang.
A crash up ahead.
A rear-end collision.
I froze.
There was panic. Worry.
But also… relief.
As if fate’s chaos had finally come crashing down in real time.
A hand emerged from a car window, waving me over.
I pulled over, stepped out, and walked toward the car.
“I’m sorry. It was completely my fault.” I handed over my card, voice calm.
The driver smiled and nodded.
Then knocked on the back window.
It rolled down.
The man in the back seat looked up.
Our eyes met.
Time stopped.
He stood around six foot three. Broad shoulders. Slim waist.
A white shirt buttoned all the way up. Tailored black pants that fit like sculpted shadow.
His features were sharply cut, his brow carved with lineage.
He looked like he stepped out of a stone carving of an ancient wolf king.
The blood of an Alpha pulsed beneath his skin. You could feel it.
He stepped out slowly.
As I held my breath, his eyes locked onto mine.
In the depth of his pupils—a flicker of gold.

The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

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.

The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
The Sentinel's Conduit
In a world already on its knees, vampires in the streets, daylight a memory, the human race running out of places to hide. You would think a man of God would know better than to make a deal with the devil. Or, in our case, the Vampire Lord.
He didn't.
And I paid for it.
The part I can't quite make peace with is what came after. Because dying wasn't the end of it. Someone pulled me back, one of the five men they call Sentinels, blessed with something older than the war itself. and now I'm supposed to be grateful. They tell me I've been given a second chance. What they don't tell me is that the second chance comes with a war, a calling I didn't ask for, and five men I'm not sure I'm ready to trust.
Especially him. The one in charge. The one they call Elion.
He is not what I expected. Nothing about this is.
I have exactly two questions and no good answers: am I supposed to feel this way about a man whose job is to protect me? And if he's as dangerous as everything in me already knows he is. Would I be safer keeping him at arm's length?
I'm starting to think that was never really an option.
