Chapter 1
"No-no! Please don't do this," Lena cried out, her voice coming out in stutters.
"Mommy, mommy." she felt a hand on her shoulder making her eyes wrench open.
Her son Trent was hovering over her, worry had taken over his soft features.
He leaned backwards and sat up on the bed when he saw that her eyes were now open.
It was a nightmare! She heaved a breath placing her hand on her chest to calm her frantic heart as she sat up.
She wiped her face with one of her hands and then wrapped the other around Trent.
He peered at Lena, his deep blue eyes moistened like he was going to break into tears any moment from now.
"Sweetie," she purred wrapping her arms around him in a warm embrace.
A smile marred her face as Trent pulled away to peek at her.
"Are you ok Mom" He asked tears prickling in the corners of his eyes as he cupped his mom's cheeks with his little hands.
Lena nodded, "Yeah, sweetie. Mommy is fine, sorry I woke you up and made you worry. I was just having a nightmare but now it's all ok." she flashed him a smile, but his brows knitted together.
She knew what that meant, he wasn't convinced, that expression on his face was nothing new, he always had that look when he was in doubt about what someone had told him.
Lena sighed and then pulled him closer to her. "See, I'm fine," she smiled taking his hand in her.
"And also, you shouldn't cry," she muttered wiping the tears that had started to run down his cheeks.
He nodded and his hands draped around Lena in a hug.
"I love you, Mommy." He purred as he pulled away.
"I know you do sweetie, and I love you more," Lena mumbled kissing his cheeks.
"Can we go back to bed now?" she arched her brows at him and he nodded.
"Ok, mom. Goodnight." He smiled and kissed her cheeks before crawling over to the other side of the bed and stretching himself on it.
Her lips curved into a smile as she stared at her son, she leaned over and kissed his deep chocolate hair before she pulled the duvet over him.
She smiled as she watched him, she was blessed to have Trent, he was the best gift she could ever ask for. She sighed when she glanced at the clock which was hanging on the wall, It was 3:00 am.
Lena closed her eyes shut trying to go back to sleep but it didn't take a second before she forced them back open as scenes of her nightmare flashed before her. She rubbed the back of her neck and took deep breaths trying to calm myself down but even though her eyes were wide open, the scenes of her nightmare didn't leave as they came even clearer. Her screams and distressed voice echoed in her ears, making her chest clench she could feel her eyes welling up with tears.
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before opening her eyes and looking in Trent's direction. He had fallen asleep.
She gulped down breaths to stay quiet not wanting to wake him up again. Swinging her legs to the floor, she scrambled out of bed to the other side of the room where the side table was. She opened the second drawer and took out her meds. She gulped down two tablets after reaching for a glass of water.
Wiping away the beads of sweat that formed on her forehead, she let out a breath. It didn't take long before she felt like a flood had washed down the panic that had taken over her a few minutes ago.
Even though the panic attack was gone, she knew this was the end of her sleep for today. This was the first time she had this nightmare in six months and she had thought that she had already overcome it, but she guessed that she still had a long way to go.
Giving it a thought, Lena wondered if it could be what happened at the bar last night that triggered this nightmare.
Even though that monster was no longer near her, she knew deep down that this nightmare was going to hunt her but for how long? That she didn't know.

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.

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
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.

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
