Chapter 1
I knew my "clinically asexual" husband was obsessed with his young apprentice the night I caught him touching himself to her photo.
When her reckless surgical stunt left my mother paralyzed, I gave him a ruthless ultimatum: put her in prison, or I file for divorce.
He handed over the evidence, and for three years, he played the perfect, devoted husband.
Until tonight. I sneaked into his elite medical gala to surprise him with my pregnancy, only to stop dead in my tracks.
Standing on the lit podium, proudly holding a trophy, was the woman who was supposed to be rotting in a prison cell.
...
"These past three years, the unwavering support of Dr. Caspian Thorne has been my guiding light. Without him, I wouldn't be standing here today," Seren's voice echoed through the speakers.
Off into the wings, Caspian stood looking up at her. He couldn't even bother to mask the raw, blazing pride on his face.
I stood frozen in the shadows, catching the hushed murmurs of the hospital board members' wives beside me.
"Remember when Caspian shielded her? His own mother-in-law was left a vegetable on the table, and he didn't even suspend Seren's license."
"Right? And with his private backing, she's been sweeping every medical accolade on the West Coast. Truly the industry's power couple."
Their words were a physical blow.
The husband who had sworn to exact justice for my family had instead been cultivating Seren's career, sheltering her from the storm.
Numb, I followed Caspian's retreating figure as he slipped into a secluded VIP alcove with Seren after her speech.
She threw herself into his chest, looking up at him with manufactured tears.
"Everyone is still whispering about what happened three years ago. Do you blame me?"
Caspian's hand, the same hand that had slipped a diamond onto my finger, reached up to stroke her hair with sickening tenderness.
"Don't be foolish. That incident wasn't your fault. With my backing, no one in this city will ever touch you."
He wiped her tear with his thumb. "That trivial issue means nothing compared to your happiness. I'm right here."
My chest caved in.
Because of my mother's irreversible paralysis, I had spiraled into a grueling three-year clinical depression.
I had lived on a cocktail of prescription sedatives just to breathe.
When the pain became too much and I overdosed, it was Caspian who held my hair back as I violently purged the pills, whispering those exact words to me.
"Don't be afraid. I'm right here."
To hear those sacred, comforting words bestowed upon the architect of my mother's destruction was an absurdity so sharp it felt like a hallucination.
Before I could tear aside the curtain and demand the truth, Seren's voice dropped to a sultry whisper.
She reached into her clutch and slid a square foil packet straight into the breast pocket of Caspian's jacket.
"To celebrate tonight," she purred, her cheeks flushed.
"I'll give you five rounds. I promise I won't beg you to stop."
Caspian's Adam's apple bobbed heavily.
A dark, ravenous lust flashed in his eyes—an expression I hadn't seen in the eight barren years of our marriage, a marriage where he had frequently locked me out of the master suite under the guise of his "medical condition."
The tremor in my hands betrayed me. My phone slipped from my grip, shattering the secluded silence as it clattered against the floor.
Caspian snapped his head toward the noise.
The moment his gaze locked onto mine, a violent jolt of panic crossed his features.
But in the very next second, his primal instinct took over: he took a half-step forward, physically shielding Seren from me.
"I'll have a driver take you home," Caspian said, not to me, but into the space between us.
He didn't explain. He didn't apologize. He merely brushed past my shoulder, escorting Seren away from the impending fallout.
The physical impact sent me stumbling. I hit the wall of the corridor, barely managing to keep myself upright as a sudden, brutal cramping seized my lower abdomen, pulling at the newly formed life inside me.
On the floor, my phone screen lit up, displaying the unread text I had sent him just an hour ago:
[I have a surprise for you tonight. Are you ready?]
He hadn't even opened it.
Gasping through the abdominal pain, I picked up the device and dialed his private number. I just wanted to hear it from his mouth. I wanted the excuse, the lie, anything.
He declined the call on the first ring.
I dialed again. It went straight to voicemail. His phone was off.
The last shreds of my eight-year illusion dissolved into the sterile air of the medical center.
My hands finally stopped shaking. I pulled up a new contact and pressed call.
"It's Liora," I said, my voice shockingly hollow as my legal counsel picked up.
"Draft the divorce papers."

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.

Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
