Introduction
"Come home. She's too young for this."
I said yes.
After that, I stopped checking his phone.
Rosie stopped crying when the other girl took her toys.
He spent the night at Simone's—we didn't call.
We ran into them at the mall—we walked the other way.
We finally became what he always wanted. Easy. Quiet. No drama.
So why is he the one who can't sleep now?
"Why don't you get mad anymore?"
"Rosie, why won't you ask me to stay?"
Chapter 1
The paperwork was done. I was Mrs. Mercer again.
A few weeks ago, Kieran found me at a flea market, selling handmade hair clips while Rosie napped in her stroller. He took one look at us and sighed. "Come back. She's too young to live like this."
For Rosie, I said yes.
He pulled into the driveway. I held her hand as we walked up to the front door—the house I'd left two years ago.
I pressed my finger to the smart lock. Nothing.
Tried again. Still nothing.
Before I could say anything, the door opened from inside.
Simone. Wearing Kieran's old college t-shirt—the faded blue one I used to sleep in.
"Oh! Wren, I'm so sorry." She smiled, stepping aside. "I was cooking and got sauce everywhere. Didn't bring extra clothes."
She made no move to leave. Behind that apologetic smile, I caught it—that familiar flicker of triumph she could never quite hide.
Simone was Kieran's late sister's best friend. When his sister passed, Simone told him her dying wish was for Kieran to take care of her. So he did.
Her daughter Hailey was curled up on the couch, watching cartoons on a tablet.
Rosie tugged my sleeve. "Mommy, that's my iPad."
It was. The pink case, the crack in the corner from when she dropped it last year.
I waited for the tantrum. The tears. The Daddy, that's mine!
But Rosie just looked at the floor.
"It's okay," she whispered. "Can I use your phone?"
Something twisted in my chest.
I handed her my phone. She tapped around, then looked up. "The WiFi doesn't work."
I hesitated.
Two years of cheap apartments and bad connections. Two years of library WiFi and borrowed hotspots. We needed the password—I just didn't want to be the one to ask.
Kieran was watching me. I kept my voice light. "What's the new WiFi password?"
Simone answered before he could. "Oh, I changed it last week! The old one was too hard for Hailey to remember." She smiled. "It's her birthday now. Zero-three-one-seven."
March 17th. Hailey's birthday. On the home network my husband paid for.
Rosie didn't react. She just took my phone to the corner and sat down, knees pulled to her chest, volume barely audible.
She used to scream about things like this. Used to cry that Daddy was hers, that this was her house, that Hailey couldn't touch her things.
Now she just made herself small.
Four years old, and she'd already learned—some things in this house weren't hers to fight for.
Kieran frowned. "Simone, you should be more careful about boundaries. People will talk."
Soft. Almost gentle.
Simone's eyes went wide. She hugged herself, shrinking back. "You're right. I'm so sorry—I'll leave right now, please don't be angry—"
Hailey ran over and wrapped herself around Kieran's leg. "Daddy, my leg hurts. Mommy didn't bring the car. Can you take us home? Please?"
Daddy.
The two of them pressed together, trembling. Like I was the threat here.
Kieran looked at me, waiting.
The old me would have exploded. Screamed. Cried. Made him choose, right here, right now.
But I'd learned where that got me.
I smiled. "She needs you. Go ahead."
Something shifted in his face. Surprise, maybe. He opened his mouth—
I turned and walked toward the kitchen.
"I won't be long," he called after me. "We'll talk when I get back."
I didn't answer.
The door clicked shut. The car started and pulled away.
Only then did Rosie look up. "Mommy? Are they gone?"
"Yeah, baby."
She let out a breath, long and shaky, and finally uncurled her legs.
We had the house to ourselves. It should have felt like coming home.
It didn't.
That night, my phone buzzed.
A photo from Simone. Hailey sitting in Kieran's lap, holding Rosie's iPad, both of them watching cartoons together.
"Hope I'm not overstepping—Hailey wanted to finish her show and Kieran said he'd stay a bit. I'll make sure he comes home soon!"
I stared at it for a long time.
Then typed back: "Sure."
Kieran came home the next afternoon. I was reading Rosie a bedtime story.
I didn't ask where he'd been. Confrontation only made things worse. Rosie was always the one caught in the middle.
After she fell asleep, he found me in the hallway, holding a box.
"I got you something."
Inside was a handbag—limited edition, the one I'd wanted years ago. Back when we were happy. Back when wanting things felt safe.
The old me would have thrown my arms around him.
Now I stepped back. "Thank you. But I don't need it."
"Wren—"
"Someone grabbed my bag on the subway once. Rosie was with me." The memory surfaced, flat and distant. "I couldn't chase him—I couldn't leave her alone. After that, I stopped carrying anything I couldn't afford to lose."
His hand froze. The box hung between us, unclaimed.
I walked past him to the bedroom.
The next day, I took Rosie shopping for new clothes. She'd outgrown almost everything—growth spurts and thrift stores don't mix well.
We stepped into a children's boutique.
And stopped.
Simone was there. Hailey beside her. And Kieran.
A saleswoman hovered nearby, holding up a swimsuit. "Mrs. Mercer, this one just arrived! Perfect for Hailey's pool party."
She was talking to Simone.

Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
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.

3/ Rags and Ritches-
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
