Chapter 1
Layla
As soon as I walked through my apartment door the messages started coming in. I dropped my handbag on the table and checked my phone. I was added to a group chat. Oh god, how Did they get my number?.I kept staring at my phone, while people were added.
These were all the people I went to college with,my college friends. I kept looking at the group chat patiently waiting for the two people to be added. I saw when she added him ,his picture popped up, then the other picture popped up. I needed to leave this group chat. As I opened the screen to type I saw it.
“Dean has left the chat”
My anxious heart felt a bit less anxious.
GROUP CHAT
LAYLA : Mallory , what is going on and How did you get my number?.
MALLORY : Oh come on Layla, don't you dare leave.Do you know how hard it was for me to track down everyone?.
MACY : Seriously?, I'm in the middle of a nail appointment
NELLA : My my my the troublemakers are together
REA : What now , I'm busy. This better be good.
ANDREW: Hello hello,my people it's been too long
CHRIS : God Damn, these girls are looking better than ever.
“ Dean was added “.
CHRIS : My man ,Dean, what's up?. Where's Aleck?.
ALECK: Right here
CHRIS: Hey Layla be a sport and drop a pic .
LAYLA : Not in the mood to deal with you Chris ,Mallory, What is this about?.
MALLORY : Well, we're having a get-together in a month. It's a two week vacation. So I need everyone's attention and opinion?
LAYLA : I'm not interested, Mallory .
CHRIS : Ah come on Layla be a sport. You disappeared and ditched all of us after graduation. Hey Dean,Aleck , talk to your bestie,get her to come.
“ Layla has left the chat “.
I turned my phone off and threw it onto the sofa. God there's a reason I stayed away from them. Well the reason was Dean and Aleck. Who were no other than twin brothers and who used to be my best friends ever since Kindergarten.
I pushed them out of my mind and went about my business. After I Did some cleaning, I went to the gym. When I got back to my apartment it was eight in the evening. I made a simple pasta dinner and ate it. While relaxing I turned my phone on and the message started coming in again. Before I could check it ,my phone began ringing. It wasn't a number I knew.
I answered but the person on the other end didn't say anything.
“ Hello ?”. No answer
“ Hello?”. No answer. I ended the call and opened my messages.
GROUP CHAT
”Layla was added “
I groaned out loud.it seems like there was no avoiding this. I opened the chat and began reading.
MALLORY : Everytime you leave someone will just add you back. EVERYONE HAS TO COME.
CHRIS : I'm in , wherever and whenever
ANDREW : Me too
REA : Same here
MACY : Okay Fine,if you're all so desperate to see me , I'll come.
CHRIS : That's the spirit,Macy
NELLA : Okay fine.
MACY : Dean, what about you?.
DEAN : I'll let you know soon
CHRIS : Come on man. Aleck , you in ?.
ALECK : I'm not sure either.
MACY : Guys come on. We understand that you're important business men now, but you still need to have a little fun and relax. We're the best to have fun with.
REA : What about Layla?.
MACY : It's her choice
MALLORY: Macy , I can do without the bitching. Layla will come.
ALECK : I doubt that, but you guys can have fun. Sorry Mal
MALLORY : God you're all just hopeless.
DEAN : Mallory I'm not sure if I can make it. Besides, I have back to back meetings. I can't just leave on the spur of a moment for a week.
ALECK : He's right. We both can't just leave for a week. We have a company to run. Maybe next time.
CHRIS : Damnit, Mallory if they don't show up then it's really gonna suck.
MALLORY : Don't worry we'll have fun.
They weren't going. I wouldn't see them. I couldn't handle being around both of them. I wasn't a teenager anymore, I was twenty five years old, I was an adult and I could handle this. I made sure to keep it hidden and I'll continue to hide it. Besides, I need some time away from here after the shit Josh pulled.
GROUP CHAT
LAYLA : send me the time,date and location. I'm in.
CHRIS : Holy shit. She's coming, I can't wait to see how much you've changed in the last five years.
LAYLA : I'm still the same.
MACY : Well That sucks for you
LAYLA : At least I'm still me. Good night.
I put my phone on silent and went to bed. I laid in bed thinking about them.Dean and Aleck Cavanaugh. They were twins, not identical. They were both twenty six years old now. The first time I met them was in kindergarten. I remember crying and both of them comforted me telling me it's okay.
Ever since that day we became joined at the hips. My mom was worried because they were from the other side of the community,the filthy rich, also about their parents' approval ,but she had nothing to worry about. That was never an issue, we were so close,we shared everything with each other. We had sleepovers.
My mom was never scared to leave me alone with them because she knew they would never hurt me. It all changed when I turned eighteen. We were in college when it all happened and it happened so fast that I had to put distance between me and them.
They tried reaching out but I didn't reply. I know they want an answer as to why I cut them off,but it's not an answer anyone should hear. I stopped thinking because my mind was going places it shouldn't.
Three weeks later Mallory messaged us the time and date. I checked in with work for time off and got it. I was standing in my bedroom unsure what to pack for. Mallory didn't say where we were going. I stood looking at myself in the mirror. The last time everyone saw me was graduation day. Back then I was Pettie, my skin had always been flawless and clear. But over the years I've changed.It's been at least three years since any of them have seen me.
My normal blonde hair was now red. My breasts were bigger and my ass was nothing to sneeze at. I don't know what happened but suddenly I was no longer the Pettie girl I was . I had curves in all the right places and can turn heads. I grabbed my phone.Over the years I decided to get a few tattoos. I had one on the top of my stomach, a few smaller ones on my arms and there were two on my neck below each ear. Those two were never seen mostly because my hair hid them. All.in all I was no longer the girl they remembered.
GROUP CHAT
LAYLA : Mallory , What are we packing for?.
NELLA : Yea about that ,bitch you didn't say where.
MACY : Whatever it is , I'm packed for everything
Mallory : Sun ,sand and the beach.
LAYLA : Sure
MACY : You lucky ducks are going to see me in my bikini.
CHRIS : Well I look forward to it.
I exited the group chat and started packing my suitcase. There was no mention of Dean and Aleck in the group chat and I was happy about that, Maybe. Just maybe they weren't going to show up.
The following morning I left at nine for the location Mallory sent. When I pulled up ,it was at an airfield. I parked the car and sat there mentally preparing myself. I could see a few of them standing in the hanger with their suitcase. I guess this was it. I got out and grabbed my suitcase. I locked the car and made my way over to them.
“Holy fuck. Layla?.”
“Yes Chris”. I said smiling. Mallory ran over to me, hugging me. ” Oh my god . You look amazing “.
“You're looking pretty hot yourself ” ,I said smiling. “Hello Macy “.
“Hey.“ She said uninterestly.
”God damn Layla, you're hot and I mean smoking hot. What the hell happened to you?, you have tattoos?”. Chris said, smirking.
“Shut up . Where are we going Mallory ?”. I asked in all seriousness.
“Well a friend of Mine has a private island and he's letting me use it for two weeks if I do his taxes for him,also he's letting me use his private Jet”. She replied smiling.
”Okay “.

The Last of US
I’m not sure that was what I expected him to say, but I had been waiting to hear it. I smiled playfully, looking at him. “Yes, my king,” I said.
Moments, his lips were on mine. The kiss was soft and gentle at first, his hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to him; I let my arms find their way around his neck. I felt his tongue gently run along my lower lip and couldn’t help the soft moan that escaped my mouth at its touch. Von only took that as permission and slipped his tongue into my mouth; I let my tongue explore his mouth as he did the same to mine. Eventually, the kiss grew deeper, and before I knew it, I was straddling his lap in one quick motion. His hands found their way to my hair, tangled in it as he tugged it lightly in his grip. I couldn’t help moaning against his lips; a growl of pleasure came from deep in his throat.
My name is Arianna Maree Paxton however I Hate that name my parents gave me that name, after my , great-great grandmother. So I go by Ari. you see my parents are hardly that they hate me in every way possible. I am only here to be their slave and plaything, otherwise they probably would of killed me a long time ago. My family belong to a pride of snow leopards well now were more of a group then a pride most of us have died out. I have a feeling my species will be coming to a end soon and the worst part of it is that we will die with such a shameful legacy left behind one that I want no part of.
Were simply a small part of the shifter community, most every other shifter, magical beings live in harmony with humans and other beings. However, they do have their own rules they each follow but for the most part the respect each other, it doesn’t mean they share anything by any means. Each has their own schools, hospitals, and way of living but terrroity and lives are generally respected. However, I feel that is mostly in part to fear of the Royal family.
However my species is dying out because they have lost their way , when you force your leopard to do horrid things it will eventually leave you , which was what was happing all around me , when that happens you can no longer find a mate , and usually you lose your mind. Without mates we can no longer reproduce hence the feeling of the end coming soon. Or at least I thought that was the reason I have that feeling but I kind of feel like something bigger is on the way.

Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.

summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—

There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—

She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.

"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid.

"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
