Chapter 1
Under the shrouded moonlight, the silence of the night was shattered by the guttural howls of a werewolf pack, their eyes gleaming with malevolence and hunger. At the forefront was Troas, the alpha of the pack, his presence a storm of power and terror.
"Make sure no one escapes," He ordered, his eyes consumed with rage.
For centuries, the humans and werewolves had coexisted and never had werewolves attacked the humans, not even on the night of a full moon. But everything changed when Troas became an Alpha. Not only had he dominated other werewolf packs, he had laid siege on every human village near his territory in search of the lady who had been prophesied about to put an end to his reign of terror.
As Troas and his pack descended upon the village, doors were torn from their hinges and walls splintered under their salvage assault. The villagers tried to flee in panic, their screams echoing in the night.
Amidst the chaos, Ynamora's mother, Luciana, took her by the hand, hoping to get away before the assailants get to them.
"Run, Yna," she urged, pushing Yna towards the safety of the woods.
They darted through the village, narrowly avoiding the snapping jaws and slashing claws of the werewolves. They reached the edge of the forest where the trees loomed like the silent sentinels. But Troas' pack was relentless, hot on their trail.
Luciana knew she couldn't outrun them forever and so, she turned facing the snarling half humans and half beasts that approached them.
"What are you doing mother?" Yna's blue eyes fought the tears that tried to force their way down.
"Protecting you, my daughter," Luciana replied, her voice filled with warmth and affection even at the face of death. "Run Yna and make sure you survive."
With a cry of defiance, Luciana threw herself at the werewolves, giving Yna precious seconds to escape into the woods.
Yna glanced back, tears streaming down her face as she saw her mother fall beneath the onslaught. As she ran into the woods, she noticed that the werewolves didn't go after her but not minding, she still kept running until she was sure she had escaped.
Yna cried and shivered as she plunged alone in the woods, with images of her mother's brutal fate earlier playing in her head. She couldn't believe that her mother was dead. But why did the werewolves attack her village? What or who were they looking for? She thought.
She hugged herself as the nights cold bit into her tender flesh. Her clothes had been torn while trying to escape into the woods and even if she was sure she had lost her pursuers, she couldn't help but feel that she wasn't completely out of danger yet.
She heard footsteps approaching and quickly hid herself in the open root of tree.
"I smell a human nearby," she heard one of the men say.
"I do too," another man replied.
Yna could feel her heart pound in her chest. She covered her mouth with one of her hands so she wouldn't be tempted to scream. She thought she had escaped but from what she was hearing, it was obvious that whosoever the men who were talking were, they were werewolves.
"I think it's a girl. I smell her so close," the first man said, sniffing into the air.
"I think it's time to return to the pack. The moon is retracting already." Another voice broke through the cold night.
The first man nodded. “I know, but this night, I just need a human – a petite, beautiful human female to cuddle with this night, to take my mind off the nightmares.”
They started discussing something about nightmares, but Yna could barely hear them. They wanted a petite human female!!! She was a petite human female.
Yna tried processing what they had said and it immediately occured to her that even if the voices she was hearing belonged to Werewolves, they didn't belong to the pack that had attacked her village.
These one were not blood thirsty and only wanted intimacy. Her heart slammed in her chest once again, as a fear she had never known before slammed against her heart. She had never known what it was like to sleep next to a male before, let alone a Werewolf male. She had never even been kissed before!
Tears stung her eyes at an awful thought . . . what if they find her and decide to force themselves on her. She didn't have what it takes to stand there werewolf men, so she thought was their number, judging from the voices she had heard.
Suddenly, she heard a howl.
"Alpha Marcus is calling. Let's head back and join the pack." One of the men said.
Alpha Marcus! Yna's heart slammed against her chest for the second time that night as her pulse quickened. Alpha Marcus was the one of the most powerful and ruthless Werewolf of all the Alphas of the entire Werewolf clan. There was only one Alpha whom he feared and that was Alpha Troas.
Yna listened as the footsteps faded away, causing a sigh of relief to escape her lips.
She finally crept out from the open root of the tree she rested her back on it's huge trunk. She suppressed a sneeze, fearing that it might make the werewolves return if they heard it. She wasn't ready to be a slave to any werewolf.
With her back still rested to the trunk of the tree, tears began to stream down her eyes. She tried to hold them back but she couldn't. It was just too much to take in as the realisation dawned on her that her entire village had fallen in one night to a ruthless Alpha.
"Here she is," a voice spoke, jolting her up on her feet. Before she could process what was going on, she was already circled around by a pack of werewolf men.
Could this be the end for me? Yna asked herself.
"She's a spy," one of the men said.
Yna felt like protesting and to let them know that she wasn't a spy but she couldn't find the courage to speak.
Pouncing upon her, they bundled her up, after knocking her out as she became unconscious.
"Alpha Marcus will decide what to do with you," one of the men said,
lifting her up on his shoulder to take her to Marcus, their Alpha.

MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
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.

But our forbidden heat is intoxicating.
When his monstrous Primal breaks free, slaughtering everything in its path, even his fiercest warriors cower.
I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.
He sneaks into the woods for me. We share a deep, hungry kiss under the moonlight.
But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
Is a fresh, undeniable bite mark.

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.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night.

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.
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.
