Chapter 1
Tessy Pov
“Come here”, he roared, I froze, my heart was pounding “you think you can leave me huh” His voice was thick, the smell of alcohol filled the room, I could barely breathe.
Edward stood in front of me, his face was red and his eyes were wild, he stumbled a bit, moving closer to me. My heart shivered with every step.
“I gave you everything, you're nothing without me” he spat, this time tears filled my eyes.
I tried to back away but there was nowhere else to go. The wall felt pressed into my spine.
“Please I'm sorry, please I won't I'm sorry”, I pleaded but I know he didn't care. He grabbed my hands slapping my face
“You filthy piece of shit, just like your mother you're a worthless whore,I hate you”, he slapped me again.
This time, I could taste blood in my mouth,I was used to the word hate but everytime I heard that word from him my heart sank deeper.
I wanted to run but my legs couldn't even move. I was too scared to say anything.
Suddenly I heard a loud shattering sound. He broke the glass of alcohol beside me.
I woke up with a loud gasp, my heart was pounding, I could feel my body feeling tensed and sweat dripping down my forehead, I sat up,
“Another Nightmare”, I thought
The same one again, “you're safe”, I said trying to comfort myself. I could still hear Edward's voice echoing in my head, . I tried to remind myself I was safe and he wasn't here with me.
My T-shirt clung to my skin with sweat,and my hands were trembling,I pulled the blanket off my legs.
“ It's been six months since I left home but somehow it still feels like it was yesterday” I thought.
I got out of bed to my mirror and looked at my face. My eyes looked tired and my hair was messy. . I couldn't recognise the girl in the mirror sometimes.
My eyes darted to the clock on the wall.
“9:30 AM”
“Crap”
I was late.
I stumbled away from the mirror and quickly rushed to the bathroom, I splashed cold water on my face,I didn't do much.
My reflection looked pale and tired, my eyes were puffy.
Immediately I was done I grabbed the first hoodie I saw, not even checking if it matches the jeans I had put on. Luckily,I had arranged my books and documents on my desk the night before. I quickly shoved my books into my bag while tying my shoe lace with the other hand.
I grabbed my phone and car keys and headed out of the house.
First day of uni,and I was already a mess.
I didn’t even wait for the car to fully stop before jumping out.
l tried to move faster without looking frantic. I didn’t see the figure moving in opposite directions,
Wham,
I felt myself hitting a very hard chest. I let out a small gasp as I moved backwards. I immediately bent over,scrambling to gather my scattered notes. My cheeks were burning,
“I-Im so sorry”, i mumbled, to embarrassed to even look up,
“It's okay, let me help”, came a deep and calm voice.
Before I could protest, the stranger was collecting my books with careful hands, he finally handed the pile to me.
I looked up and froze,
He was tall,muscular and toned, his skin was smooth and brown. But what struck me the most was his eyes,they were calm in a comforting way,
I blinked,snapping out of whatever that was,
“Thanks, I'm sorry again,I wasn't looking” I said
“No harm was done”, he said softly
“Okay, well bye”, I added,
“ My name is Brian” he tried to introduce himself, but I quickly nodded
As I walked away,I could still feel his eyes on me, I didn't look back,
I glanced at my wrist watch, luckily I still had time,I couldn't afford distractions atleast not today I said,
The queue wasn't long, thankfully. I joined it and took a deep breath. It finally came to my turn, I handed over my documents with shaky hands. The lady at the table scanned them quickly.
“You're Tessy Blair right” she asked,typing something on her computer.
“Yes ma'am” I replied.
“Once again,congratulations on your scholarship,your student status has been confirmed”
“Go over to the next desk for your student ID and schedule “
I nodded,trying to hide the sudden rush of relief I felt.
“You're safe now, away from him” I told myself
Or atleast, I hope I was
I checked my wrist watch again
Thirty Minutes late, “ Great, can my day not get any worse?” I sighed.
I gripped my bag tighter and walked fast, scanning through the class numbers as I passed. After almost five whole minutes I finally found the class.
I took a deep breath and turned the knob, and stepped in.

Fated at mooncrest: Stuck with the two alphas.... book 2
A half-blooded girl. Three charismatic Alpha Wolves. And a destiny-bound bond.
Malia Reed always felt she was nothing special except for her bloodline; she only wanted to survive in the shadows.
Until she entered Mooncrest college…everything changed. A destined, inescapable bond bound her to the powerful and handsome Alpha Wolves—Aiden, Cian, and Rowan Moonfall Wolf.
The entire academy was abuzz with excitement; everyone was talking about it.
As her hidden powers awakened, the dark secrets of her parents surfaced. Enemies drew closer. And what about her three destined companions? Their feelings were subtly shifting…
But only one could truly win her heart.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
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.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
