Introduction

I lean down, sucking and licking the sauce off her neck; she groans, moving herself off her chair onto my lap. I lift her mouth to mine. We kiss one another with deep desire.

My name is Jessica, Jessica Bloome, and I will be 18 soon. Don’t tell Alpha Sebastian though. He thought I was 10 when he killed my father and took me and my best friend Olivia to be he’s personal slaves four years ago. One night Alpha Sebastian gets drunk and grabs my arm. “Let go of me” I yell, pulling my arm away from him. I get a punch in the face and fall to the ground. I hold my head; one kick, two kicks, three. He’s screaming, “How dare you embarrass me, you little slut.” I can barely breathe as he tries to grab my neck. “DO NOT TOUCH MY MATE” Someone stops him. Mate? Did I hear that right? I roll over to see who’s speaking. Brown eyes; auburn hair. “Alex” I whisper before everything goes black.

Chapter 1

Jessica's POV

My name is Jessica Jessica Bloome. My Birthday is in 2 days, and I will be 18. Don't tell Alpha Sebastian, though; he thinks I'm turning 14 and I will be getting my wolf. He doesn't know I have had my wolf Celeste since he took me and my best friend Olivia 4 years ago to be his personal slaves. There is a reason he thinks this: I am small for a wolf. I am 5 foot 1, the youngest of triplets to Zachariah and Cynthia Bloome, a Gamma couple of the Desert Moon Pack.

Mum always said Nathianal, Cathy, and I were special because we were triplets, and that is rare in a Wolf pack. The other thing that makes us special is that we all look exactly alike, despite the height difference, and Nath is a different sex. We all have blonde hair, blue eyes, and rounded faces with bronze-tan skin. We all have a dimple on our left cheek as well. I don't know how tall they would have been now, but when I was 14, Nathanial was almost 6 feet, Cathy was 5 foot 4, and I was 4 foot 11. They called me the 'runt of the litter.'

Alpha Sebastian fights dirty, according to his son Jonathon. When they took my best friend Olivia and myself, he did something to Dad, Alpha Laurence, and Betta Josh; they couldn't fight back.

I remember that night, the night he attacked Desert Moon, our home. The night he killed my father, Alpha Laurence, and Betta Josh.

“Nath, Cath; what’s happening? Why are the alarms going off?" I asked my brother and sister as we ran out of the pack house. " Hey, runt", Nathanial affectionately teased.

*' We are under attack by Emerald Moon Pack; Dad said Alpha Sebastian wants our land', Nath continued. 'We need to get to the tunnels,' Cathy yells. I run towards the tunnels with my siblings, but something catches my eye near the big oak tree. The smell of Wild berries and Peaches with Brown chestnut hair and green eyes, It's Livvy.

Olivia has been my best friend since her family moved to the pack when they were 5. She's a witch/werewolf hybrid. Her mum, Gilda, is from the Light Coven, and her dad, Joseph, was a Desert Moon Warrior before they met. They moved back to Desert Moon to show Livvy what Werewolf packs were like.*

"Keep going," I yell to Nathanial and Cathy. "I'll catch up," and run over to Olivia. " Livvy, we need to get to the tunnels. Hurry!" That's when we hear a male voice above us.

*"Tunnels? Hmm." I look up; deep blue eyes are staring down at Olivia and me. I go to scream, but nothing comes out. I'm rooted to the spot, petrified. My wolf Celeste is in my head. "Grab Liv and run, Jessi." I react to do what she says; the man grabs both of us around the waist. He was twice our size. I kick and punch him, screaming, "Let go of me"! he only holds on tighter.

He took us to the front of the Packhouse. Throwing us on the ground in front of him. I see Dad, Uncle Laurie, and Uncle Josh all being held down by four big men each; they are snarling at the man who grabbed us. " Dad!" I yelled, pulling myself off the ground, trying to run to him but was grabbed by another man with black hair. " Jessica, Olivia. Get your hands off them." I look at Dad, it's not Dad speaking, it was Uncle Laurie.*

*"Oh, is this your daughter?" the man asked, cackling like a madman. " What is she 10?" he asked, but Uncle Laurie didn't' answer. Dad is seething, struggling to get out of their hold. He wants to kill him.

The man just laughs and tells the man holding us to "Do it." Throwing us to the ground, he shifts into his wolf, snarling and biting; he bites Uncle Laurie's throat, ripping it apart, killing him, and throwing him across the ground.

"I'm only going to ask you once. You have a chance to join me, and you will be spared," The man yells to Dad and Uncle Josh. Uncle Josh yells back at him, "Never." He chuckles, nodding to the wolf; in an instant, he slashes Uncle Josh's throat and then Dad's. I crumbled to the ground screaming.*

I now know those men were Alpha Sebastian, and he's Betta, Mark. Olivia and I have been working for Emerald Moon ever since. I refuse to submit to Alpha Sebastian. He beats me because of it, but I won't. He doesn't deserve my respect.

I won't tell him my real age, and I am not the Alpha's daughter; that's Jonathon's idea. He thinks it's safer for us not to. The only rule I follow, we aren't allowed to speak to anyone here. That is fine by me. I don't want to speak to anyone, anyway. We aren't even allowed to talk to one another, but we mind link when he isn't looking. There is one person Livvy and I talk to; that is Jonathon, a tall wolf with tanned skin, brown eyes, and dark brown hair. He's Olivia's mate, but because he is Alpha Sebastian's son, they can't mate just yet. She tells me his crooked smile is cute, Ehh. He wants to get us out of here, but it's proving more difficult than it seems.

One day I hope Jonathon, Olivia and myself can escape.

I was supposed to die alone in an alley.

Instead, a god found me.

One moment, I was bleeding beneath the neon glow of the city, my life slipping through my fingers. The next, a glowing blue screen appeared before my eyes, offering me a choice that was never really a choice at all.

Accept the Summoner’s Mark. Or die.

Now I belong to the Death Game — a brutal cosmic system where ordinary people are turned into Players, thrown into impossible missions, and forced to survive horrors designed for the amusement of gods.

Every trial has rules.
Every monster has a weakness.
Every victory comes with a reward.

And every reward makes me less human.

My name is Nerissa Valehart, and I refuse to be anyone’s pawn.

But surviving the Game means trusting the one man everyone warns me to fear.

Veyren Ashford is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously beautiful — a veteran Player with blood on his hands and secrets in his soul. He says attachment will get me killed. He says love is a weakness the Game always punishes.

Yet when death comes for me, Veyren is the one standing between us.

In a world where gods gamble with mortal lives, monsters hunt from the shadows, and desire may be the deadliest weakness of all, I have only one goal:

Survive long enough to cross the board.

And make the Starless God regret choosing me..............

“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.

He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

"Big Kai?"

He didn't respond but moved his eyes around the room, scanning the place.

"Wha...what are you doing here?"

His icy blue eyes returned to me, sending shivers down my spine. Then further dropped to my dress and then back to my eyes.

"The shit going on downstairs, what does it mean?" he asked, making my legs as weak as they are eager to flee.

"It's....it my wedding,"

He scoffed darkly. "Excuse me?"

Dear readers, this novel is coming to an end soon. I highly recommend another fantastic story of the same genre:


I’d appreciate all your support, thank you so much!
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
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.
