Chapter 1
Heated Argument!
“Dad, this ain't funny no more! I'm twenty-one soon to be twenty-two years old, you can't keep controlling me like a freaking teenager,” yelled Jane, walking out of her dad's office. Jane's dad had invited her to his office to talk to her about the absurdity of her extravagance. She'd become so daring, the nerve to walk out on her dad.
“Come back here young lady, you don't walk out on me whilst I'm still talking," Edmund Peterson Sputtered with authority, rising from his seat. Jane nervously walks back towards her dad. Edmund is very strict but loves his daughter dearly. He walks towards her and tries to talk some sense into her.
“I have enemies everywhere, they can hurt you to get at me, now I'm not saying you can't have fun, but I need you to slow down a little," Edmund cautions her, holding her hand and looking straight into her eyes, to ensure his message sinks deep. Jane nods her head in guilt.
''I made a promise to your mom on her dying bed, to protect you, and that's what I've done and will keep doing until I die. You are very precious to me, so you must be meticulous, you hear?" Utters Edmund looking straight into her eyes.
“Yeah dad, sorry for walking out on you, that ain't gonna happen no more,” Jane receptively replies, looking at her dad with sympathetic eyes.
“That's alright, and you have to stop this ghetto talk, Where did you even learn that from?” Edmund asks with a wry smile. Jane promises to stop talking ghetto,
“I won't speak it no more, sorry anymore.” They both smile and hug each other.
Jane walks out of her dad's office. Her soft pleasant fragrance, designer dress, shoe and purse, and curly hair attract the attention of Edmund's employees, who can't help but tattle. While the female employees talk about her expensive attire and gait, the male employees talk about her irresistible beauty.
Jane walks out, right into her black Mercedes-AMG; which her dad had offered her when she celebrated her twenty-first birthday. Edmund is the head of a multimillion enterprise and getting her only daughter the latest cars and whatever she desires is not a problem for him.
Jane was born and raised in New shire, a city in South Carolina. She loves her city because of her childhood friends. The community has tried to keep the town green, by creating many parks, growing flowers, and keeping the forest at the city border neat. Tragically, no city is perfect; the crime wave in this small town is unexpectedly high.
This can be linked to a large number of Mafia groups in the city. Jane suspects her dad's involvement in some sort of Mafia, due to the suspicious phone calls she's heard her dad make. But can't dare ask Edmund about it.
Jane arrives home and is welcomed by Anna, (her nanny and head of their domestic staff). She takes her bag, jacket, and the shoes she just removed and accompanies her to her room.
“You're welcome back, dear, how did it go with your dad?” Anna asks Jane with so much concern. Anna is the oldest among Edmund's three domestic staff.
“Well, still the usual talk about me slowing down on my extravagance,” Jane replies, putting on an unwary look.
''I think your father is right on this one, dear. Yesterday you came back drunk, what if one of these bad people out here hurts you?''
Anna has always been that mother figure in Jane's life since her mother died.
“Thanks, Anna, I think I've had enough scolding for today, I'm starving, what's there to eat,” Jane asks heading for the kitchen, barefoot, with just her immaculate white tank top on and the trouser she wore to her dad's office.
“Jane dear, won't you take off the trouser?” Anna asks, rushing behind her with her slippers. As they get downstairs they're both surprised to meet Edmund, arranging files rushing.
“Dad, what are you doing here, it's only 11:30 am, did you forget something?” Jane asks with a surprised look.
“Yes darling, I forgot some vital documents, I need them for a meeting this evening with some investors.”
Edmund replies trying to put these files together. She walks towards her dad and asks if he requires her help with anything, but Edmund asks her not to bother herself, as he'd had all the files sorted out.
“But there's one thing you can help me with,” Edmund utters, looking at her with a serious, but smiley face.
“What's that dad?” Jane asks anxiously.
“Be a good girl," Edmund responds, sliding his thumb lightly on her cheeks. Jane smiles and reminds her dad of the promises she made earlier at the office.
Edmund picks up the file he'd come to collect and his car keys to leave. Gives
Jane a peck on her forehead and asks Anna to keep an eye on her. But as he walks out, Jane calls him, asking if he has a minute, she wants to ask for permission to attend the carnival in Rio de Janeiro Brazil with her friends.
This trip is essential to Jane, and she can't afford to miss it, she always gets the most fun on such trips.
''Can't this wait, dear? As you can see, I'm running late, and I still have a lot to put together before this meeting starts. Please let's talk when I get back ok?'' Edmund replies, showing eagerness to leave.
“But dad," Jane tries to explain but is curtailed by her dad,
“Jane please, I'm late," Jane puts on a displeased face, but Edmund just can't deal with that now.
He turns towards Anna, who'd been following their chats, and asks her not to wait up for him; ''I'll be home late, please take care of the house, lock up perfectly before going to bed.'' He cautions her, rushing towards his car.
Jane angrily sits on a chair in the dining, pondering how she'll make it to the carnival with her friends.

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.
