As Jessica learns to manage this dangerous world, she’ll find the depths of her strength, and David will face a love that might break him or set him free.
Chapter 1
Jessica’s POV
As Victor observed me, his icy grin remained unwavering. His command hung in the air like an ominous cloud, smothering all possibility of escape.
"All right, Jessica? What will it be? Victor spoke in a soothing, almost playful tone.
I looked at David and drew a trembling breath. He fixed his ferocious, unblinking gaze on mine. I couldn't leave him despite everything, including the secrets and the lies.
With a shaky but determined voice, I declared, "I won't betray him."
Victor's grin turned to a sneer instead. "Stupid girl." He looked at his guys. "Death her."
There was anarchy. David leapt to action and killed the closest guard as gunfire erupted around the room.
“Get down, Jessica!” He yelled.
As bullets flew past me, I fell to the ground, my pulse racing. David's movements were deadly and precise, and he battled like a man possessed.
Victor's troops rushed in, but David persisted. He came to me and took hold of my arm.
He urged me to stay close as he drew me to the door.
Victor's voice cut through the commotion. "Avoid letting them get away!"
More men entered the room, obstructing our way. With his gun blazing, David pushed me behind him.
"There are too many of them, David!" I sobbed.
He hissed, leaving no room for debate, "I'm not leaving without you."
Debris flew as the building was rocked by an unexpected explosion. We were able to elude the guards and enter the darkness with the help of the smoke.
The tension between us was strong and unsaid as the automobile drove through the nighttime streets. I was at my breaking point.
"What did you see back there?" I turned to David and demanded. "You were referred to as Victor's brother. Is that accurate?
David's hands gripped the steering wheel as his jaw tensed. "Jessica, not right now."
"Yes, right now!" I lost my temper. "I deserve the truth because I just put my life in danger for you."
With a groan, he kept his gaze fixed on the road. "It's difficult."
I crossed my arms and whispered, "Try me."
David shut off the engine and parked the vehicle in a quiet alley. His shoulders tensed as he sat there for a while.
"Victor is my half-brother," he finally acknowledged.
The remarks were like a kick to the stomach. "What kept you from telling me?"
His voice was harsh as he stated, "Because it doesn't matter." "I'm not related to Victor. Not in any significant way.
"It is important to me," I stated. "David, you've been hiding things. How can I be sure I can trust you?
At that moment, his eyes were filled with something I couldn't quite identify. Feeling guilty? Feeling sorry?
He muttered, "I didn't want you involved in this." "I believed that by keeping you in the dark, I could keep you safe."
"Keep me safe?" I gave a sour laugh. "Your secrets nearly led to my death tonight!"
I resisted David's attempt to take my hand. "Please, Jessica. Now I'll tell you. Allow me to explain, please.
I paused, wanting to comprehend but also feeling angry. "All right. Commence at the beginning.
David ran a hand over his hair while leaning back in his chair. Years before I was born, my father, William, had an affair with Victor's mother. Victor was devastated when he learned. He held my family responsible for everything, including his father's shortcomings, his mother's passing, and the breakdown of his own life.
"And you?" I asked quietly.
David tightened his jaw. He detested me right away. I served as a constant reminder of all he had lost. And after my mom passed away... His voice trailed off, and he inhaled deeply. "He vowed to ruin everything I held dear."
Despite my wrath, my heart ached as I gazed at him. "Therefore, this war is personal."
"Yes," David acknowledged. However, it goes beyond that. Victor's empire was founded on deceit and violence. Not just myself, but everyone is in danger from him.
"And me?" I muttered. "Am I merely a pawn in this game?"
David's gaze grew softer. "No, Jessica. You are not a pawn. The only thing that gives me hope that life is greater than this battle is you.
His meaning-laden remarks lingered in the atmosphere. Even though I wanted to believe him, my doubts persisted.
I walked the room back to the safehouse, my thoughts racing. Given the risks associated with David, could I stay with him?
I was startled out of my reverie by a knock on the door. David came in, his face reserved.
He said, "We need to talk."
"How about?" I crossed my arms and asked.
"about us. About the next course of action.
I sat down and gestured for him to go on.
He started by saying, "I know this isn't the life you wanted." "And if you wanted to leave, I wouldn't blame you."
I gazed at him, taken aback by his candour. "You're offering me an option?"
David gave a nod. Jessica, you've always had an option. All I can hope is that you decide to stay.
Seeking the truth, I gazed into his eyes. I knew one thing despite everything: I loved him. Perhaps even adored him. Was that sufficient, though?
The buzzing of David's phone interrupted my response. He scowled as he responded.
"What's that?" he growled.
Whatever was said darkened his face, but I couldn't hear the other person.
He hung up after muttering, "Victor."
"What took place?" I inquired.
"War has been declared," David replied somberly. "He's coming for everything that matters to me."
I felt the weight of what he had said.
Would I be another victim of David's conflict, or could I live in his world? Although I was unsure of the response, I was certain that Victor was not finished with us. By no means.
Following David's declaration, there was a suffocating stillness between us. As though waiting for Victor to show up at any second, he stood by the window and gazed into the darkness. His shoulders were tense, and I could see the storm building within him.
I whispered, "David," to break the hush. "Now what?"
His eyes were impenetrable as he turned to face me. "We get ready. Victor doesn't threaten people pointlessly. He will attack us fiercely and employ every weapon at his disposal.
"And how does that affect me?" I inquired. "Am I a liability in this whole situation?"
David took a step forward, his eyes unwavering. Jessica, you're not a liability. My strength is you. I won't lie to you, though: things will get worse before they get better.
I took a deep breath. "More awful than tonight?"
He gave a sad nod. Victor is a fan of chaos. He understands how much you mean to me, therefore he will come get you.
I felt as though his words were pressing down on me. I recalled Victor's demand for my treachery and the bitterness in his voice. He intended to destroy everyone and everything important to him, not just David.
"Then instruct me," I abruptly responded.
David scowled. "Teach you what?"
"How can I defend myself?" I stated forcefully. "You always have to help the damsel in distress, and I don't want that. I want to be prepared in case Victor comes for me.
David's expression flashed something—possibly respect. "Are you certain? There is no turning back once you enter this planet.
I said, "I'm already in it." "I might as well defend myself."
David's jaw was fixed as he nodded. "All right. Tomorrow is when we begin.
His phone buzzed once more before he could continue. As he read the message this time, his face grew even more serious.
"What is it?" I feared the response as I asked.
"They've located us," he whispered in a menacingly low voice.
My heart stopped beating. "Winner?"
David's expression turned to stone as he met my gaze. "His men are en route already."
As reality set me, I felt the blood drain from my face. Neither here nor anywhere else were we safe.
My stomach dropped when I heard tyres screeching outside in the distance. They were present. And there was no way out this time.

The Moon's Descendant
“You think I’m going to let my daughter sleep with whoever she wants” he spat. He kicked me in the ribs, sending me flying back across the floor.
“I didn’t” I coughed, gasping for air.
I felt as though my chest had caved in. I thought I was about to vomit when Hank grabbed my hair and lifted my head. CRACK. It was like my eye had exploded inside my skull when he punched me in the face. I landed on the cold concrete and pressed my face onto the floor. He used his foot to roll me over so that I was on my back.
“Look at you, you disgusting c**t” he huffed as he crouched down beside me and wiped the hair from my face. He smiled, a terrifying evil smile.

The Secret Pregnancy of the Billionaire's Ex-Wife
On the day I received my pregnancy test results, Sean asked for a divorce.
"Let's get a divorce. Christina is back."
“I know you’re pissed,” he murmured. “Let me make it up to you.”
His hands found my waist, warm and unyielding, sliding down the curve of my spine to cup my ass.
I pushed against his chest, half-heartedly, my resolve crumbling as he pressed me back onto the bed.
“You’re an asshole,” I breathed, even as I felt him nudge closer, the tip of him brushing my entrance.
Then the phone rang—sharp, insistent—snapping us out of the haze.
It was Christina.
So I disappeared, carrying a secret I hoped my husband would never discover.
A pack of their own

Strings of Fate
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.
I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.
I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.
Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.
“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.
“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.
My Bullies My Lovers
Her best friend, Jax, not even realizing who she was until he saw a distinctive scar on Skylar's stomach showed him who she was and when he took his two new friends to her house, only to see that the kids at school weren't the only ones bullying her.
She was on the verge of committing suicide because of her father's abuse, so she agrees to an alliance with Jax and his friends to destroy her father and everything that he holds dear to him.
What she didn't expect, what the feeling that the three men would inevitably develop for her or the ones that she would develop for all of them.
Chasing My Rejected Luna
Tegan Declan was a shy she-wolf who was born deaf. Starting a new life as a disabled wolf in a new pack. She is the new contracted mate to the Alpha king, Ezra Hendricks.
“Being deaf was a quality I would hate my son to have. As a wolf, you need all your senses to be able to lead, protect, and stay alive. Lacking hearing would not benefit anyone, it could lead to mass destruction and the loss of many lives. It would not be a good quality for a king. This brought me back to my question. What makes her think she is fit to be my Queen? I want to know what she thinks her strengths are. Would they outweigh her weaknesses?”
