Introduction

In a world where swipe-left culture reigns, a disillusioned young woman, jaded by the superficial connections of her generation, has lost faith in the idea of true love. Convinced that genuine relationships are unattainable, she adopts a carefree attitude, seeking fleeting encounters and casual connections instead of investing in meaningful relationships.

However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a profound connection with someone. Despite her initial reservations, she finds herself drawn to this person, and as they spend more time together, she begins to challenge her assumptions about love and relationships.

As she navigates this newfound connection, she must confront her own fears and vulnerabilities. Ultimately, she decides to take a chance on love, embracing the possibility of true connection and intimacy.

Chapter 1

‘Seriously?’ Lisa mutters, her voice laced with frustration, resignation, and a hint of desperation.

She settled into her plush couch, surrounded by the warm glow of table lamps and the soft hum of the TV. She stares at her phone, a portal to a world of potential connection, scrolling through the endless stream of tinder profiles. Her thumb swiped, dismissing each candidate with a growing sense of despair.

‘Everyone seems to have found their person, but here I am, swiping. Is there something wrong with me? Am I unlovable?’ Lisa whispered to the room, the self-doubt crept in, a familiar, unwelcome companion. She couldn’t help but feel like she was stuck in a never ending cycle of shallow conversations and meaningless encounters.

‘Lis’ Rachel's voice, gentle as a summer breeze, interrupted her downward spiral. ‘What's going on?’

Lisa startled, her phone slipping from her grasp. Rachel stood behind the couch, concern etched on her face. ‘Nothing,’ Lisa lied, hastily wiping away tears.

Rachel rounded the couch, settling beside Lisa. ‘Don't 'nothing' me. You were lost in thought, and your aura screams sadness.’

Lisa sighed, surrendering to Rachel's empathetic gaze. ‘Just feeling hopeless. Everyone's coupled up, and I'm still swiping through Tinder.’

Rachel wrapped a comforting arm around Lisa's shoulders. ‘You're not alone, Lis. And true love isn't a swipe away.’

‘I know,’ Lisa whispered. ‘It's just hard to see everyone moving forward while I'm stuck.’

Rachel pulled her into a gentle hug. ‘You're not stuck, Lis. You have other amazing things going on in your life, and the right person will come to see your brilliance very soon. And I'll be here, holding your hand through the wait.’

They share an intense, soul soothing embrace. Rachel’s gentle squeeze easing the knots of frustration from Lisa’s shoulders.

‘You’re not alone, Lis,’ Rachel said with a reassuring smile as they slowly parted, their arms lingering for a moment before adjusting their positions on the couch.

As they sat together, the Tinder profiles forgotten, Lisa felt a sense of peace settle over her. Her gaze met Rachel’s, her eyes shining with gratitude. ‘Thanks, Rach,’ she said, her voice barely above a whisper. ‘What would I do without you?’

Rachel’s face softened, her smile warm and gentle. ‘You’d probably be a hot mess.’ She teased, chuckling softly. But her expression quickly turned serious, her eyes locking onto Lisa’s. ‘That’s what friends are for, Lis. To pick up the pieces, to offer a shoulder, to remind you of your own strengths.’

Lisa’s lips curved into a smile, her heart swelling with emotion. Rachel was more than just a friend. She was a lifeline, a beacon of hope in the darkest moments.

Lisa and Rachel’s friendship was forged in the vibrant crucible of university life. They met during freshman orientation, bonding over shared laughter and nervous excitement. They understood each other’s emotional landscapes, actively listened and offered comfort. Their differences complemented each other. Lisa’s introspective nature found balance in Rachel’s outgoing personality and Rachel’s spontaneity was tempered by Lisa’s cautious wisdom. Rachel who had always been the outgoing, confident one, expanded Lisa’s social circle and her presence provided comfort. Lisa on the other hand, offered stability and organisation, her honesty kept Rachel grounded and helped her confront vulnerabilities.

Post-graduation, they decided to share an apartment. Their home became a symbol of their unbreakable bond. Their living situation allowed them to support each other’s growth, celebrate milestones, and navigate life’s challenges side by side.

‘You always know how to make me feel better,’ Lisa said, her voice laced with sincerity.

Rachel’s hand reached out, her fingers brushing against Lisa’s. ‘That’s because I’m the best therapist couch-surrogate-life-coach friend ever,’ she joked, her eyes sparkling with mirth.

The silence that followed was comfortable as they lounged on the couch. Rachel’s expression transformed from empathetic listener to mischievous plotter. Her eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement, her voice remained gentle, but her words carried a hint of strategic intent. ‘Lis, do you ever think about how far we’ve come since University?’ Rachel asked, her tone introspective.

Lisa’s gaze drifted, lost in thought. ‘I guess… not often enough.’

Rachel’s smile was knowing. ‘We’ve grown so much, Lis. We’ve built careers, and found our own paths.’ Her voice paused, hanging delicately in the air. ‘Don’t you think it’s time to celebrate that?’

Lisa’s eyes narrowed slightly, sensing the unspoken direction of Rachel’s words.

‘And what better way to do that,’ Rachel continued, her tone deceptively casual, ‘than attending our university reunion party?’

Lisa’s gaze snapped towards Rachel’s, her brow furrowed in alarm. ‘What? No. Absolutely not.’

Rachel’s smile grew, her eyes crinkling at the corners. ‘Hear me out,’ she coaxed, her voice low and enticing. ‘It’s the perfect opportunity to prove to yourself how far you’ve come. You’re not the same person you were back then.’

Lisa’s resolve began to fray, Rachel’s words insidiously eroding her defenses. Rachel sensed the vulnerability and pressed on. ‘Imagine walking into that reunion, head held high, confidence radiating from every pore. You’ll show them the incredible person you’ve become.’ Rachel’s words painted a vivid picture, her enthusiasm infectious.

Lisa’s resistance waned, replaced by a flicker of curiosity. Rachel detected the shift and sealed the opening. ‘We’ll make it a weekend getaway-laughter, memories, and a closure.’ Rachel’s eyes locked onto Lisa’s.

‘I guess we’ll see.’ Lisa conceded.

The following days blurred into a flurry of preparation. Lisa and Rachel coordinated outfits and reminisced about old times. Before they knew it, the day of reunion arrived.

Lisa stood in front of their bedroom mirror, smoothing her dress and taking a deep breath. Rachel, busy styling her own hair, watched with a knowing smile.

‘Ready to slay this reunion?’ Rachel asked, winking.

Lisa rolled her eyes good-naturedly. ‘You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?’

Rachel chuckled. ‘I’m just proud of you. We've got this, together.’

They finished getting ready and walked into their cozy living room.

Rachel handed Lisa a glass of champagne. ‘To new beginnings,’ she toasted. Lisa clinked her glass against Rachel’s. ‘To closure.’

I have always known my boss, Mr Sutton, has a dominant personality. I have worked with him for over a year. I am used to it. I always thought it was just for business because he needed to be, but I soon learned it is more than that.

Mr Sutton and I have had nothing but a working relationship. He bosses me around, and I listen. But all of that is about to change. He needs a date for a family wedding and has chosen me as his target. I could and should have said no, but what else can I do when he threatens my job?

It is agreeing to that one favour that changed my entire life. We spent more time together outside of work, which changed our relationship. I see him in a different light, and he sees me in one.

I know it is wrong to get involved with my boss. I try to fight it but fail. It is only sex. What harm could it do? I couldn’t be more wrong because what starts as only sex changes direction in a way I could never imagine.

My boss isn’t only dominant at work but in all aspects of his life. I have heard about the Dom/subs relationship, but it isn’t something I ever thought much about. As things heat up between Mr Sutton and me, I am asked to become his submissive. How does one even become such a thing with no experience or desire to be one? It will be a challenge for him and me because I don’t do well at being told what to do outside of work.

I never expected the one thing I knew nothing about would be the same thing to open up an incredible brand-new world to me.

“Put them on.” I took the dress and the underwear, then I wanted to go back to the bathroom, but she stopped me. It felt like my heart stopped for a second when I heard her order. “Get dressed here. Let me see you.” I didn't get what she meant at first, but when she stared at me with impatience, I knew I must do what she said. I opened my robe and put it on the white sofa next to me. Holding the dress, I wanted to put it on when I heard her again. “Stop.” My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. “Put the dress on the sofa for a second and stand straight.” I did what she said. I stood there completely naked. She examined me from head to toe with her eyes. The way she checked my naked body made me feel terrible. She moved my hair behind my shoulders, gently running her index finger over my chest, and her gaze stopped at my breasts. Then she continued the procedure. Her gaze slowly moved down between my legs, and she looked at it for a while. “Spread your legs, Alice.” She squatted down, and I closed my eyes when she moved to see me from closer. I only hoped that she wasn’t a lesbian or something, but finally she stood up with a satisfied smile. “Perfectly shaved. Men are like that. I’m sure my son will like that too. Your skin is nice and soft, and you are muscular, but not too much. You are perfect for my Gideon. Put the underwear on first, then the dress, Alice.” I had many things to say, but I swallowed them back. I just wanted to escape, and that was the place and time, when I swore to myself I will succeed one time.

Her career is just about to climax when her cruel stepfather sells her to a wealthy family, the Sullivans, to become the wife of their youngest son.

My life should have been perfect—successfully starting college, with a caring boyfriend and a best friend. Until I discovered the two of them having sex the night before my eighteenth birthday. Then, during my first full transformation, I discovered a terrifying truth: I am the Soul Bond of Derek Stone, the Alpha of the Darkwood Pack.

The problem is, he's the brother of my ex-boyfriend Bradley.

As a lowly Omega werewolf, I have no right to desire a union with a superior wolf, especially this Alpha leader. Derek Stone isn't just the leader of the Darkwood Pack; he's also a formidable business tycoon. His reputation for ruthlessness makes other packs tremble.

But the ancient werewolf law is clear: if a Pack Alpha rejects his Soul Bond, a curse will descend upon us both.

When Derek suddenly hires me as his assistant secretary, I find myself in a dangerous game. Daily close contact makes the wolf inside me excited, while his cold attitude breaks my heart. Is he deliberately torturing me, or is there something more complex hidden beneath his icy exterior?

As the attraction between us grows stronger, I must make a choice: continue to endure this painful connection, find a way to break the Soul Bond, or make the Pack Alpha fall in love with me and accept me as his Soul Bond.

The LCD screen in the arena showed pictures of the seven fighters in the Alpha Class. There I was, with my new name.
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.
