Introduction
Chapter 1
"This day we should be happy! We should celebrate our birthday happily but what ?! Von, I became a fool! I can't help but inform you that the woman I want wants you!" I shouted and looked up at the sky to stop myself from hurting him, I wanted to hurt him, punch him until he had a bruise on his face but I couldn't because he was my twin.
"What we said when we were kids, no one can keep secrets between the two of us. We should know each other's secrets." I said and looked at him.
"But what is it now Von? Since we were kids we all tell each other secrets but now what ?! If I hadn't followed you I wouldn't have known Von!" I shouted.
"Van, I just don't want to--"
"Von, I can't help but think that's why you don't want to get married because you're waiting for Aphrodite. I can't help but think that you like her too Von." He frowned.
"What the fuck?" He asked.
"Fuck you," I said.
"The hell Van, I'm not waiting for Aphrodite! What brain do you have? I know you like Aphrodite--"
"You know, you should have told me that she wanted you!" I'm cut off from what he has to say.
"I don't want to tell you because I don't want to hurt you and make you angry with me Van!" He shouted angrily.
"Is that the reason or maybe you like her Von?" I asked. He laughed. A sarcastic laugh.
"All right, so you can stop Van. I'm going to agree to marry Cleopatra just so I can prove to you that I don't like Aphrodite." He said coldly. Suddenly my heart was broken by what he said. He will marry Cleopatra. I don't know why I was hurt when he said that. Maybe it was because I knew he didn't want to get married that I was hurt.
"Happy now?" He asked. I looked at him. Traces of sadness and pain in his eyes.
"That's your bad habit, your anger is what you apply." I was bored with what he said. I was in front of him in an instant, holding his collar. I looked into his eyes. No emotion could be traced to him.
"Stay away from her Von." Annoyed I said while holding his collar. I don't know who I'm referring to don. Whether Aphrodite or Cleopatra. I don't know who that's for. I'm confused.
"Tell that to her, I'm quiet here." Annoyed Von said and pushed me away from him.
"You're a traitor Von," I said, feeling too heavy. I can’t control myself. He laughed."Isn't it amazing how one tiny sperm can turn into a giant piece of shit?" Von asked me. "I'm not taking anything away from you Van. She likes me but I don't care anything." Annoyed Von said and turned his back on me. I clenched my fist.
"Von Floyd Vaughn!" I was annoyed calling him so it stopped.
I took a deep breath and then looked at him as he turned his back.
"I reject you as my brother and twin," I said coldly. Von didn't say a word and just kept walking. When he disappeared from my sight I immediately burst into tears. When my knees weakened, I sat on the floor crying.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I shouted as I knelt and cried.
I do not know. The pain of the day for me. Very painful.
I was only in that position for a few minutes when I decided to stand up. I wiped away my tears and faced the habit of our rooftop door when I saw Cleopatra turn a few feet away from me. Turned cross arms and turned to look at me.
No emotion can be seen on her face. She took a deep breath and then approached me slowly.
"I said, don't ever instill anger in your twin." She said coldly. I could just look at her.
“Just because of a woman you rejected him?” She asked. She shook her head as she turned to look at me. "You two are very close, but just because of Aphrodite you rejected him." She added and took a deep breath.
'I wish I was Aphrodite, I wish I was the one you want.'
I was shocked to read what she was thinking. I looked at her. She kept looking at me while thinking. I read her mind again and my heartbeat almost quickened at what I read.
'When it was only because of Aphrodite that he rejected his twin. Aphrodite was very lucky. Why couldn’t he see the efforts of a Van Vaughn in front of me? If he only wanted me, he wouldn't ..... '
I stopped reading what she was thinking. She kept staring at me.
"Do you like Von?" I asked while looking at her. She looked at me seriously.
'No.'
"Yes." I frowned when I heard her answer. Her mind says something different from what he told me.
"Do you want me?" I ask. I looked at her seriously. I saw how she blushed. She averted his eyes then replied.
"No."
'yes.'
Her answer was different again. I approached her and touched her face. I felt that she was isolated from me.
"Tell the truth, Cleopatra," I said. She did not answer. She just looked at me while her forehead was wrinkled.
"You both said you don't want to marry Von--"
"I changed my mind," She said coldly and removed my grip on her face. She stared at me coldly.
"If Von wants it, I'll allow it. I don't want it if he doesn't want it either." When she said that she turned away.
"We're leaving. Your brothers are looking for you downstairs." She said and walked over to me first. I was left here as I turned to look at what she had gone through.
"Liar," I whispered and grinned. Her mind says something different from what she tells me.

Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
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.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.

I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.

But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.

He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.

Mating Moon
A pack of their own
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
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.
This Time He Pursues Me With All
Outside the ballroom, she went to him as he smoked by the door, wanting to at least explain herself.
“Are you still angry with me?”
He flicked the cigarette away and looked at her with open contempt. “Angry? You think I’m angry? Let me guess—Maya finally finds out who I am and now she wants to ‘reconnect.’ Another chance now that she knows my last name comes with money.”
When she tried to deny it, he cut in. “You were a blip. A footnote. If you hadn’t shown up tonight, I wouldn’t have remembered you.”
Tears stung her eyes. She almost told him about his daughter, but stopped. He’d only think she was using the child to trap him and get his money.
Maya swallowed everything back and left, certain they would never cross paths again—only for him to keep appearing in her life, until he was the one lowering himself, humbly begging her to take him back.
