Introduction
Chapter 1
Merigold
Estoy sentada frente a la casa donde se supone que voy a conocer a mi hermano mayor por primera vez. La casa de mi verdadero padre. Estoy tan nerviosa que en mi estómago no hay mariposas, sino murciélagos volando por ahí. Respiro hondo varias veces para intentar calmarme mientras miro la casa frente a mí. Pero no está funcionando. Así que me concentro en la casa en su lugar.
Es una casa de dos pisos con un gran jardín delantero. Un poco deteriorada, pero no demasiado. La pintura gris se está pelando en varios lugares. Nada que una buena capa de pintura no pueda arreglar. Un hermoso porche envolvente que parece necesitar que se reemplacen varias tablas. Las ventanas parecen no haber sido limpiadas en meses. Nada que un poco de cuidado y mantenimiento no pueda solucionar. El césped parece haber sido cortado recientemente, pero los parterres cerca del porche estaban descuidados. Pero en general, no parece un lugar agradable. Me pregunto si aquí vivía mi papá.
No le hice muchas preguntas a Ethan cuando me dio la dirección para encontrarnos. Tal vez esta sea su casa. Pero no lo sabré a menos que pueda sacar mi trasero de esta camioneta. No entiendo por qué estoy tan nerviosa. Solo espero que le guste a él y a los chicos. Ethan parecía tan ansioso por conocerme cuando hablamos por teléfono. Pero en persona podría ser una historia diferente. Noto una motocicleta negra estacionada en el lado derecho de la casa. Pero aparte de eso, no había señales de nadie alrededor. Voy a suponer que la moto pertenece a Ethan. Dijo que estaba en un club de motociclistas, así que tendría sentido que fuera suya.
Sé que necesito salir y conocer a mi hermano. Un hermano que ni siquiera sabía que tenía hasta hace unos dos meses. Déjame explicar cómo la vida que conocía se puso completamente patas arriba con una llamada telefónica. Era una tarde de martes. Estaba sentada almorzando con mis gemelos de tres años, Jace y Jax, tratando de que Jax comiera un frijol verde más, como de costumbre, cuando mi teléfono sonó. Lo recogí y vi un número que no reconocía. Normalmente los ignoraría, pero por una razón que aún no entiendo, contesté. —¿Hola? —¿Es usted Merigold Stevens? —pregunta un hombre. —Sí —El hombre procede a presentarse—. Mi nombre es Richard McMasters. Soy un abogado contratado por su padre biológico y su hermano para ayudar a localizarla en relación con la herencia de su padre. —Lo siento, señor McMasters, pero debe haber algún error. No tengo hermanos y no sé quién es mi padre biológico. Me temo que tiene a la persona equivocada.
Estoy a punto de colgar cuando escucho —Señorita Stevens, por favor no cuelgue. Permítame explicarle —pide, y su voz casi suena urgente. Aún sin tener idea de por qué, pero lo dejo continuar. —Está bien, lo escucho —digo. —Gracias, señorita Stevens. Usted es Merigold Raider Stevens, ¿correcto? —pregunta. —Sí —Nacida el 12 de agosto de 1994, de Crystal Ellis Stevens. ¿Correcto? —Sí, me estoy sintiendo incómoda con las preguntas, pero respondo—. Sí —La siguiente pregunta me deja perpleja. —El hombre que usted pensaba que era su padre es Raymond Charles Stevens. ¿Correcto? —Solo unas pocas personas saben que el hombre que pensaba que era mi padre no lo era. Nunca hablo de eso. —Sí. ¿Cómo sabe todo esto? —Como dije, fui contratado para ayudar a localizarla. Estoy seguro de que esto es mucho para asimilar. —No entiendo —digo, interrumpiéndolo. —Señorita Stevens, su padre biológico y su hermano han estado buscándola durante algún tiempo —dice. Miro a los gemelos que todavía están comiendo, mirándome. La única respuesta que tengo para el abogado es —¿Por qué? —porque mi cerebro de repente ha dejado de funcionar correctamente.
—Señorita Stevens, su hermano desea hablar con usted y explicarle todo. Pero puedo decirle que el nombre de su padre biológico era Clint Pierce Adams, pero era conocido como Raider. El nombre de su hermano es Ethan Jackson Adams —dijo. Me congelé cuando dijo el nombre Raider. Me alegré de estar sentada o mi trasero estaría en el suelo. Nunca supe de dónde venía mi segundo nombre. Mi madre nunca me lo explicó, solo decía que era importante.
—Lo siento, ¿dijo que su nombre era Raider? —pregunto, temblando. —Sí, señorita Stevens. Lamento decirle esto, pero Raider falleció el mes pasado —y sonaba realmente apenado. Así que el hombre que es mi padre está muerto y perdí la oportunidad de conocerlo. —Señorita Stevens, su hermano Ethan quisiera hablar con usted. Y está el asunto de la herencia de su padre. Me gustaría darle a Ethan su permiso para llamarla. —¿Tengo un hermano? —gimoteo. —Sí, señorita Stevens. Lo tiene —dice el señor McMasters. Mierda, no quería que me escuchara. —Y está muy ansioso por hablar con usted —dijo el señor McMasters.
—¿Qué tiene que ver la herencia conmigo? Lo siento, señor McMasters, pero estoy muy confundida ahora mismo —le digo. —Estoy seguro de que lo está, señorita Stevens, así que vamos a tomar esto paso a paso. ¿Por qué no habla primero con Ethan? Él puede responder cualquier pregunta que tenga para que entienda mejor lo que está pasando. Y luego podemos seguir desde ahí. ¿Qué le parece? —Asiento sabiendo que no puede verme. Digo con un hilo de voz—. Sí, está bien, puedo hacer eso. —Maravilloso. Informaré a Ethan y le daré su número de teléfono. Tan emocionado como está, debería esperar una llamada de él muy pronto. Que tenga un buen día, señorita Stevens —dice y cuelga. Me quedo mirando mi teléfono preguntándome qué acaba de pasar.
Fiel a la palabra del señor McMasters, Ethan me llamó esa misma noche. Hablamos dos veces por semana durante las siguientes semanas. Resulta que tenía toda una familia que nunca supe que existía. Después de algunas súplicas y mucha persuasión de Ethan y el aliento de mis mejores amigos/hermanos adoptivos Alaric y Mac, empaqué a los gemelos y emprendí el largo viaje desde Alabama hasta Minnesota para conocer a Ethan en persona. Perdí la oportunidad de conocer a mi padre. Un padre que quería conocerme, no iba a perder la oportunidad de conocer a mi hermano. Y aquí estamos ahora. Sentada en mi camioneta tratando de calmar mis nervios. Maldita sea, Merigold, ponte las pilas. Eres más fuerte que esto. Ármate de valor y sal de esta camioneta.
Me giro y sonrío a los chicos —Bueno, ¿están listos para conocer a su tío? —¿Listos? —dicen al unísono. Bien, puedo hacerlo. Salgo y abro la puerta trasera para desabrochar a los chicos de sus asientos elevadores. Desabrocho a Jax primero cuando escucho el chirrido de la puerta mosquitera. Paso a Jace mientras escucho lo que parecen botas pesadas en el porche de madera. Una vez que los chicos están en el suelo y la puerta de la camioneta está cerrada, es cuando me doy la vuelta y veo a un hombre muy grande acercándose a nosotros. Y cuando digo grande, me refiero a al menos seis pies y cinco pulgadas de altura y con un físico que parece levantar autos a diario. Está vestido con jeans negros descoloridos, una camiseta blanca y lo que parece un chaleco de cuero negro. Tiene el cabello corto castaño oscuro que parece que se pasa los dedos por él con frecuencia. Pero unos ojos marrón claro que parecen suaves. Tiene una expresión severa en los rasgos cincelados de su rostro que me hace temblar por dentro. Definitivamente no querría encontrarme con él en un callejón oscuro. Es muy intimidante y me pone un poco nerviosa.
—Merigold, me alegra que hayas llegado —dice cuando está a un pie de mí. Instantáneamente reconozco su voz y me siento aliviada, es Ethan. Él heredó la altura de la familia porque yo solo mido cinco pies y cinco pulgadas. Así que tengo que mirar hacia arriba a mi hermano mayor. —Es bueno conocerte, Ethan —digo extendiendo mi mano. Ethan la toma y me jala para darme un abrazo de oso. No era lo que esperaba en absoluto considerando que tiene que agacharse para hacerlo, pero le devuelvo el abrazo.
—Es bueno finalmente conocerte, hermanita —dice después de soltarme. —Y estos deben ser Jace y Jax —dice mirando a mi lado. Los gemelos están pegados a mis piernas a cada lado de mí. Ethan se agacha para estar más cerca de su nivel y les extiende la mano. —Hola, soy tu tío Ethan.
Jax mira a Ethan y le estrecha la mano —Soy Jax. ¡Eres grande! —Mi mandíbula cae—. Jax, eso no es amable. —Ethan lo toma con calma y solo se ríe—. Está bien, solo está diciendo la verdad. Soy un tipo grande. Y tú debes ser Jace —ofreciéndole la mano. Jace la toma un poco inseguro—. Sí. —Ethan se pone de pie y me mira—. ¿Por qué no entramos? Les mostraré la casa y podrán instalarse. —Eso sería genial. Gracias —digo mientras Ethan nos guía.
Subimos al porche delantero y Ethan sostiene la puerta mosquitera abierta dejándonos pasar primero. Lo primero que noto es el olor a limones que flota en el aire. Era como si alguien acabara de cortar varias bolsas de ellos. La sala de estar estaba justo allí cuando entras. Había un sofá marrón oscuro que parecía muy usado frente a la pared frontal. Justo a la derecha había un sillón reclinable de cuero falso marrón claro que tenía grietas en los reposabrazos. A la izquierda del sofá había un loveseat marrón claro. Una pequeña alfombra estaba en el centro de la habitación. Había una gran televisión de pantalla plana en la pared. Algunas fotos estaban en la pared, pero aparte de eso, las paredes estaban desnudas. Ethan se acercó detrás de mí después de cerrar la puerta. —La cocina está por allí —señalando a mi izquierda—. Hice que llenaran el refrigerador para que no tuvieras que preocuparte de eso de inmediato. También llené los armarios con bocadillos y cosas para los chicos. —No tenías que hacer eso, Ethan. Gracias —dije. —Vamos arriba y te mostraré tus habitaciones —dijo Ethan y nos guió escaleras arriba.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

HIS REJECTED SECOND CHANCE MATE
"What the f*ck, Zara!" Levi bumped into me and growled behind me.
"Sorry," I mumbled, wide-eyed.
"Is that?" Levi mind-linked, and I nodded my head.
"Zara," my father uttered. "I understand that you are familiar with Alpha Noah."
I slowly nodded my head.
"Great," my father said. "Alpha Noah has also informed me that you are his fated mate."
I gave a nod in response.
"Superb, Alpha Noah has requested your hand."
"Is that so?" I found my voice.
Both my father and Alpha Noah nodded.
"Interesting," I said. "Were you told by Alpha Noah that he rejected me more than a year ago?"

“I have waited nine years for you. That’s nearly a decade since I’ve felt this emptiness inside me. Part of me began to wonder if you didn’t exist or you’d already died. And then I found you, right inside my own home.”
He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.

A pack of their own
Strings of Fate
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.
I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.
I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.
Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.
“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.
“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.
Nanny and Her Four Alpha Bullies
I Am His Wolfless Luna
Ethan also kept emitting deep roars in my ear, 'Damn... I'm going to cum... !!!' His impact became more intense and our bodies kept making slapping sounds.
"Please!! Ethan!!"
As the strongest female warrior in my pack, I was betrayed by those I trusted most, my sister and my best friend. I was drugged, raped, and banished from my family and my pack. I lost my wolf, my honor, and became an outcast—carrying a child I never asked for.
Six years of hard-won survival turned me into a professional fighter, fueled by rage and grief. A summons arrives from the formidable Alpha heir, Ethan, asking me to return as a wolfless combat instructor for the very pack that once banished me.
I thought I could ignore their whispers and stares, but when I see Ethan's emerald-green eyes—the same as my son’s—my world tilts.
The Moon's Descendant
“You think I’m going to let my daughter sleep with whoever she wants” he spat. He kicked me in the ribs, sending me flying back across the floor.
“I didn’t” I coughed, gasping for air.
I felt as though my chest had caved in. I thought I was about to vomit when Hank grabbed my hair and lifted my head. CRACK. It was like my eye had exploded inside my skull when he punched me in the face. I landed on the cold concrete and pressed my face onto the floor. He used his foot to roll me over so that I was on my back.
“Look at you, you disgusting c**t” he huffed as he crouched down beside me and wiped the hair from my face. He smiled, a terrifying evil smile.
“I have something extra special for you tonight” he whispered.
Hidden in the dark forest, on Cape Breton Island, lives a small community of Weres. For generations they remained hidden from the humans and maintained a peaceful existence. That is until one small woman joins their pack and throws their world upside down.
Gunner the future Alpha, serving as a knight in shining armour saves the young woman from certain death. Bringing with her a mysterious past and possibilities that many had long since forgotten, Zelena is the light they didn’t know they needed.
With new hope, comes new dangers. A clan of hunters want back what they believe the pack has stolen from them, Zelena.
With her new powers, new friends and new family, they all fight to protect their homeland and the gift that the Moon Goddess has bestowed upon them, the Triple Goddess.
Game of Destiny
When Finlay finds her, she is living among humans. He is smitten by the stubborn wolf that refuse to acknowledge his existence. She may not be his mate, but he wants her to be a part of his pack, latent wolf or not.
Amie cant resist the Alpha that comes into her life and drags her back into pack life. Not only does she find herself happier than she has been in a long time, her wolf finally comes to her. Finlay isn't her mate, but he becomes her best friend. Together with the other top wolves in the pack, they work to create the best and strongest pack.
When it's time for the pack games, the event that decides the packs rank for the coming ten year, Amie needs to face her old pack. When she sees the man that rejected her for the first time in ten years, everything she thought she knew is turned around. Amie and Finlay need to adapt to the new reality and find a way forward for their pack. But will the curve ball split them apart?
