Introduction

"Firecracker," his voice is a low command against her ear, one hand gripping her waist while the other tightens around her throat.
“Your obedience isn’t optional,” Xander Black murmurs. “For as long as this contract lasts, I am your master. Understand?”

She hates him, but still whispers, “Yes.”

Vanessa Collins was raised as a hunter.
Her mission?
Destroy the werewolves who ruined her family.
But fate has a twisted sense of humor.
Now she’s bound to Xander Black - the cold, ruthless Alpha destined to rule every wolf pack.
His solution to the chaos threatening his throne?
A contract marriage.
She becomes his Luna.
He becomes her shield.
No love.
No trust.
No weakness.
But when enemies close in and ancient magic begins to awaken inside Vanessa, the line between hatred and desire begins to blur.
And the Alpha who should be her greatest enemy…
Might be the one man she can never escape.

Chapter 1

Vanessa

“This is the last time I will be helping you,” Lyra says as she throws the little scroll at my chest like it burned her. Her voice, the usual cold and detached tone.

I deftly catch it in my hands, a surge of anger flaring in my core.

“We had a deal,” I reply coolly.

“Well the deal ends today,” she snaps. Her green eyes wide and wary under her wide silken scarf warped loosely around her head, as she looks around. As if expecting someone or something to jump out of the shadows at her. “The Council has started sniffing around and it’ll only be a matter of time before I become a suspect.”

I hold the scroll in my hand, a little too tightly as I think of what to say to that.

Lyra spins around, then turns her head slightly to whisper, “ never contact me again. Goodbye, Vanessa”. Then she was gone.

I scoff and spin on my heels, kicking the pebbles of stones lining my path as I start to march out of the dense wide forest.

A deal was a deal, she can’t just break it off whenever she wants. Whatever, I don’t need her anymore.

I look down at the scroll, knowing it contains a detailed map of the Estate – one I’ll be infiltrating tonight.

Yeah, I’ve got all I need. I just need to fig-

The snap of a twig nearby stops me in my tracks. I wait, trying to control my breathing and my rapidly beating heart. My head tilts to the side, ears cocked as I listen. There it was again, another snap.

I reach over my shoulder, behind me only to grab on air.

Fuck. I left my arrows behind, which was quite uncharacteristic of me. I instead, draw the short blade from the waistband of my jeans and turn to face the source of the sound.

Suddenly, a figure, covered head to toe in a cloak so dark it rivaled the darkness of the night, appears.

“Who are you?” I demand but instead, it lunges for me. I barely dodge the first strike, but a searing pain after let me know my ribs have taken a rough hit.

I double over, trying to take in deep breaths but the figure isn’t that patient. He grabs me by the throat and lifts, dangling me above the ground. His strength is supernatural, and even this close, I can’t make out any outline of his face.

“Vanessa,” he drawls. His voice…it sounds wrong, unnatural. It carries through the air, distorted, like an echo of wailing souls.

I claw at his hands but it only tightens around me. My vision dots with black and, with great effort, I steady my hand, and stab my blade into his flesh. He hisses and drops me immediately.

I crash to the floor in a fit of coughs and curses. This time, I run towards him and land a pretty good strike to his face, he stumbles but catches himself in time.

He starts towards me but stops at the sound of heavy footsteps coming out way, then a menacing growl tears through the air. From the trees, emerges a huge black wolf, about six feet tall. It’s blazing green eyes hateful, it’s mouth snarling with teeth so sharp looking it could cut a tree in two clean halves.

With no preamble, the wolf runs towards the figure at full speed but he disappears, literally, and reappears behind the wolf. The combat is so fast I can barely make each figure out, it is a blurry of movements as fists and canines clash.

Then the figure appears behind me, startling me. “Soon, Vanessa Collins.” Then he disappears literally, again, before I can even ask how he knows my full name, or my name at all.

The first sound of bones cracking catches my attention. I whip my head around in time to watch as the wolf transforms into a full grown man.

He is naked except for a pair of pants I’m wondering how it stayed there. His eyes which are as dark as his hair pierce right through me, a shiver courses through my spine.

He walks towards me, his body rippling with barely contained power, muscles flexing with each step and his gait, graceful. I canty help trailing my eyes down the tight coils of his well defined abs, going lower to the V shape, disappearing into his pants.

“You shouldn’t be here, human,” he says in a deep baritone voice that is used to giving commands and yielding obedience.

I am startled out of the trance his body put me under. My nostrils flaring when his words register. “A little stroll in the woods shouldn’t worry anyone.”

“Not in my territory.”

“Well, I don’t see your name written around here anywhere,” I snap.

Two steps and he is right in front of me. I catch a whiff of his scent – woodsy and salty with just the right sprinkle of dangerous. I lick my lips slightly.

He leans In, his breath brushing my face and whispers, “careful, firecracker. Or I just might take a bite.” Then I feel the sharpness of his canine scraping the side of my neck and I shiver involuntarily.

He takes a few steps back, his dark eyes raking over me slowly, almost stripping me, one cloth at a time. Right then, I notice the mark on his left collarbone – a crescent moon tattoo, pulsing in the pale moonlight like it had a heart of it’s own.

That mark…I know it. Heard stories of it and now, the reason for his commanding aura becomes clearer.

Xander Black.

The future Alpha King of the MoonVeil Pack.

“Leave human, and never come back.” Then he shifts into his huge black wolf, trains those blazing green eyes on me once more, then runs off, until his silhouette fades and blends into the darkness.

I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. Then I hear it. The soft, broken whisper of my name, carried through the night air, causing goosebumps to rise on my body.

I take a step forward to run. Then a second.

Then suddenly, I’m falling, the darkness holding

me in it’s cool embrace before I even hit the uneven ground.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

"Come here."
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

Still.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.

I shouldn’t care.

I don’t care.

“I thought we discussed this earlier, Weakness? I warned you. His death is on your hands.”
“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. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her.

"Ten years of atonement, and you flee?"

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.

"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.

"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."

I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.

"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."

On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.

From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.

Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.

Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
