Chapter 1
Kennedie
“Ahhhhhhh Judith”
I stopped still, and it felt like the whole world had just come to an abrupt halt right before my very eyes.
My throat got tight, and tears threatened to spill from my eyes.
“W-what?”
Andrew’s hands dropped down from my breasts and fell limply beside him, the mood completely ruined. I climbed down from his body and dragged the duvet from the bed to cover my nakedness.
How humiliating was this?
We were in the middle of having sex, and just when he penetrated me, he had to moan out the name of my best friend.
Andrew stood up stupidly, with his penis just dangling from his legs, long deflated. He might have looked like the clown, but I sure felt like it.
I felt absolutely fucking stupid.
“Babe, please just listen to me, it is not what you think,” he said.
I scoffed, trying my absolute best to push back the tears from spilling because, quite frankly, he did not deserve even a single drop of my tears… not after all of this.
I scoffed and looked him dead in the eye, “How long, Andrew?” I asked.
“Babe, I’m so sorry-”
I cut him off before he could continue spilling out more of all of that nonsense from his mouth.
“I do not want to hear it!” I exclaimed. “I am asking you. How long has this been happening for goddamn it! Answer me?”
Andrew just stayed silent. He was still naked, and it looked like he was not going to wear clothes anytime soon.
He was just a fucking idiot.
Andrew had nothing left to say, absolutely nothing at all. He just stood with his shoulders slumped and eyes downcast.
I shoved his chest continuously, “You are a fucking vile person you know that, Andrew. How could you do this to me?”
He just stared me in the eyes like he was some lost puppy when clearly I was the victim here.
For heaven's sakes, we just got back from our honeymoon.
Our marriage was barely two weeks old.
I just stared at the man whom I thought I knew, and yet I somehow missed out the fact that he was cheating on me with my own best friend.
“I really don’t know what you want from me, Kennedie.”
I was shocked.
“Kennedie? No longer, babe or baby, you have finally shown your true colors to me,” I said.
He hissed, “You want to know the truth?” he asked.
I shrugged, “That is if you even have the fucking balls to do so, you damn coward.”
“I do not fucking love you, Kennedie.”
And there it was, he said it.
Someone please get me out of this horribly written soap opera, where the heroine just got heartbroken by her stark naked husband.
I gasped, and the tears I tried so hard to hold in just started rolling down my face. I could not even recognize the man who stood in front of me right now.
Andrew Smith was my first love, the only man that I had ever loved. And I know that was such a cliché fucking name, but I digress,
He was my first crush when I was just fifteen, and back then, he barely ever noticed me, but I didn't let that stop me. I did everything to get his attention, and soon after, we started dating.
On my eighteenth birthday, my only wish was to get married to him; I wouldn’t accept anything else. And the second I turned twenty, I was ready to have my heart’s desire.
Well, I guess I got my wish, but at what cost?
Because right now, as I stood looking at the man whom I loved with all of my heart, the man whom once upon a time I would have done anything for, I would have sacrificed it all, even if I had to burn down the entire world.
But now, I barely even recognized who this was.
Our staring contest seemed to be broken when his phone rang. I glared at him, “It is probably her, isn’t it? Fucking Judith”
“I don’t think that is any concern of yours anymore,” he said.
The fuck it isn’t!
I began heading for the phone, and when I picked it up, she best believe that I was going to give her a piece of my mind.
Andrew cheated on me; he was the fucking asshole, but she was supposed to be my best friend, mine.
And she betrayed me.
“What do you think that you are doing?” Andrew asked as I snatched his phone. I looked at the caller and guess what, it was Judith.
Shocker.
I was so tempted to roll my eyes, so far back it got stuck at the back of my head because this shit was all just indeed like some poorly written soap opera.
“What does it look like?” I replied sarcastically.
Andrew held my hand before I could pick up the call. He held my hand tightly, “You know that I don’t take kindly to disrespect, Kennedie,” he spat.
His face was a shade of red, and he looked absolutely livid.
Respect?
I had absolutely lost all respect for him the minute that I found out that he had been shagging my best friend like some dog.
“Let me go, Andrew,” I said, trying to shake his hand off. He just increased the pressure.
“Stop it, Andrew, you are hurting me,” I said.
“Then let it go-” he backhanded me hard across the face, and his phone fell to the ground.
I placed my hand on my face. “Y-you hit me?” My voice was broken.
In all the years that I had known him, Andrew had never laid his hands on me, but he was doing it right now, to protect his mistress.
His hands were shaking like he could not comprehend what he had just done.
“Kennedie… baby, I am so sorry.” he reached to touch me, but I flinched; my heart had just turned stone cold.
“Stop it… You don’t love me anymore, remember?”
“I really am sorry-”
He had barely gotten the word out before the voice note on his phone began to play. Judith’s sickening voice and they carried the news that completely shattered everything for me.
“Andy baby, I am pregnant, so tell me when you're going to finally divorce that bitch wife of yours?”

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"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."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.

The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

The mafia princess return
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“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. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. 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.

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
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.
