Chapter 1
Olivia's POV
“I, Aiden Virek, take the title of Mate to Luna Olivia Hartwyn, joining Thorne Ridge Pack. I pledge my loyalty, power, protection and lifeblood.”
Aiden lowers to a knee and presses his forehead to my stomach, exposing the nape of his neck in the traditional show of submission to a Mate.
I can’t wait to finally mark Aiden, to feel the bond snap into place and start a future together. It’s been a whirlwind since we met at the Pack Summit last Fall. He looked at me like I was the only person in the room, and everything just… clicked. And now I get to make him mine.
Everything is perfect, just like I imagined. Today is the day. My day.
I place my hand on his head, threading my fingers through his tawny hair, and recite the reply by memory. “I, Olivia Hartwyn, receive Aiden Virek of Jasper Pack as my Mate. I accept your pledge of loyalty and protection and offer you a place by my side in the Thorne Ridge Pack.”
“You may now mark your Mate!” The Priest declares, and Aiden rises to his full height above me, grinning like he’s won the lottery.
Normally, Mates mark each other instinctually, and in an uncontrollable fit of passion, but as the Luna, my Pack needs to know this is properly sealed; I’d rather have him to myself.
Aiden’s fingers trail down the side of my throat, pulling aside the lacy collar to expose the crook of my shoulder. Tilting my head to give Aiden more access, he leans in, scenting me, and causing a shiver to run up my spine in anticipation of his bite. I feel Aiden’s warm breath against my skin just before he –
– “I’ve been tired of her reclusive ass for months. If she wasn’t an Alpha’s daughter, I wouldn’t be marrying her. You know that.”
What the hell? That’s Aiden’s voice.
The speakers crackle and Aiden rears back in shock. My brow creases in confusion and I look around to see where that recording is coming from.
“Then who do you love, baby?” that’s Amelia, from my Pack.
“Of course, it’s you, it’ll always be you.”
Aiden’s voice rises again, this time it’s not the recording. “That’s fake, obviously someone is trying to hurt us! Olivia, sweetheart, you know this is fake.” His eyes turn pleading.
Whispers and growls ripple through the Packs; someone yelps from behind me and my bridesmaid Mia cries out, “Amelia’s fainted!”
My head whips around and I’m hit with a wave of jealousy... from Mia.
I know from experience that unconscious people don’t project emotions. And Amelia is an absolute beacon right now. I don’t know if she’s the one who set this recording, but she’s not upset it happened. Far from it.
What’s going on?
Aiden whips his head between me and Amelia. “I... someone needs to help her.” He moves past me to crouch down next to Amelia.
And my entire body heats with rage. I lower my voice and seethe at him, “You can’t be serious right now. This is our mating ceremony! And you’re going to coddle a woman pretending to faint?”
I feel a spark of anger and… guilt? “Stop it, Olivia, it’s our duty to care for the members of our Pack. I’ll handle this.”
Aiden lifts Amelia and cradles her against his chest. Her eyelids flutter as he storms away down the aisle to care for my maid of honor.
I need to salvage something of my pride, maybe of this relationship and alliance too. I pick up the hem of my gown to rush after them. Running through the forest, my foot catches on the train of my dress, and I crash down onto the well-worn path. “Aiden!”
I feel myself crashing in a wave of exhaustion. And all I can do is watch Aiden leave our Mating Ceremony with Amelia, not bothering to look back.
My luck with the weather runs out, as the sky picks that moment to darken, fat drops of rain falling through the canopy.
“What are you doing?” I love Mia, but this is not a good time for a lecture. Protectiveness. Hurt.
“I’m drowning my sorrows, dear Mi – hey!” My glass disappears I glance to the bar table and count eleven empty glasses. I know I should cut myself off but instead I pour another.
“Mia, my Miiiiiia, this is not a good time. You can see I’m very busy.”
Mia snorts and flops into the chair next to me, giving side-eye. “Well, that was a shitshow. You need to sleep this off and get a clear head for tomorrow. You look terrible.”
“Gee, thanks. I just don’t ge tit. Get it. Tits are good too.” A tear trails down my face. “Aiden has always been sweet to me. We’re under the same pressure. His father’s the leader of the Alpha Council, mine is – was – the Alpha of Thorne Ridge Pack. How didn’t I feel this coming?”
Only my family and our Beta’s family, which includes Mia as his daughter, know about my Power. Empaths are rare and coveted. We can’t technically scent a lie, but with the guilt, anxiety, relief, shame, or a dozen other emotions associated with it, we might as well be able to.
Mia mutters, “I could have told you that.”
“Look, Liv. Aiden and Amelia are power-hungry, and you were dickmatized. I get it. That, and you’re... you. Sweet, trusting, loyal. You see the best in everyone. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Maybe there is.” I mumble into my glass.
Mia plucks the glass from my hands and sets it on the table with a bang. “C’mon. Let’s get you upstairs.” She hauls me to my feet and drags me to the elevator.
Eight floors later, Mia is half-carrying me down the hall while I search for the keycard trying to remember my room number.
Sexual frustration. Jealousy. I bump into someone rushing past us. “Watch it!” she snaps and keeps on going.
“Bitch, you watch it.” Mia mutters under her breath and grabs the room key from the floor.
We try doors with the card until one lights green and it swings open into a dimly lit suite. Mia pulls me into the room and tosses me on the bed, dress and all. “Get some sleep, girl. It’ll get better in the morning.”
The soothing darkness is broken with a bright sliver of light. I crack my eyes open, to find a figure silhouetted in the doorway. A tall, well-muscled, well-dressed figure. I don’t remember ordering room service, but my stomach rumbles at the thought.
“Who let you in here?” He growls. Oh, fuck, that voice.
I let out a growl of my own at the man’s scent. Earthy, minty, a hint of jasmine. Who knew this hotel had such delicious staff?
I shouldn’t be lusting after the staff, I’m a married – no. We didn’t mark each other. I’m too cloudy headed to remember if any of it real; to know if any of this real. But there’s no harm in having fantasies.
I sit up and slip the engagement ring off my finger, making my very unsteady way over to the handsome stranger in my dream-room. I drag in his intoxicating scent again and stumble into him.
“You can charge the food to the room. I don’t have any extra cash but serve me well and this”, I take one last look at the glittering diamond and drop it into the man’s shirt pocket, “will be your tip.”

Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.

And I don’t want him to stop.

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.
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
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.

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.
