Introduction
“What the fuck are you doing, get the fuck out of my room.”
The rage that is overcoming my body feels amazing as the little she wolf tries to defend herself. My father trained my brother and as kids to defend ourselves. She has know chance of defeating me when she realizes it she runs over to him.
“Ivan are you just going to let her do that to me.”
“What your just his little whore you could never give him the pleasure that I could give him.”
“That is enough get the fuck out of my room.”
“Fine you want to play that game two can play this game let's play.”
I walk out of his room, I see Sam, I grab a hold of him and drag him behind me. We go into to my room.
“What is going on are you okay.”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“No!”
My lips connect to his as my body I am burning up with lust, his touch feeling more amazing than I could ever imagine.
“Wait are you doing?”
“I'm making the Alpha jealous he is fucking some bitch, so I'm going to fuck you is that OK with you.”
“So you're using me?”
Chapter 1
As I hear my alarm going off, I'm super excited today is my 18th birthday oh and my twin brother's birthday. I hop out of my bed and run over to my brother's room just to be a pain in his ass. I jump on his bed until he wakes up. As he puts his covers over his head, I start singing to him.
“Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you today is the day we finally can meet are mates come on get up.”
“Get out of my room before I kill you.”
“Really, that isn't nice to say, especially when you would be lost without me.”
“Maybe not I wouldn't have someone jumping on my bed waking me up.”
My parents then walked into my brother's room with a cake singing to us, I couldn't help but to laugh when my parents brought the cake in to his bedroom.
“Aww, thank you guys so much you are so sweet we are so lucky to have you as our parents.”
“My mom looks at me ok what do you want Lilly?”
“Can we skip school today and go to Wicked Falls.”?
My mom laughs “absolutely not now get ready for school I am going to start your breakfast.”
“Come on mommy don't make me beg please.”
“No, you guys can go to school. We will head up after you two get home your dad will be home too since he is getting off work early.”
“Fine, I guess that will be fine.”
“Get out of my room. So, I can get ready god you people are annoying in the morning.”
I jump off my brother's bed and give him a big kiss on the cheek. I ran into my room to get dressed for today. I want to look my very best just in case I actually meet my mate at school. I can't believe it today is finally the day. My brother has always had a crush on Jenny from school. It would be shocking if she would be his mate even though we do not get along at all but I would be so happy for him since he had a crush on her for like ever. We will become officially a part of the Night Walker Pack this month. They hold monthly meetings for the higher ranks, but if there are wolves that turn of age, they will be announced and welcomed into the pack. My family, we are low ranked, so we don't have to attend every meeting, thank God. There are not that many packs in Alaska; we live in a little town called Bear Run. I couldn't ever imagine leaving. I love it here. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, always snow covered and not too cold , just the right weather every day. It's most beautiful at night with the Northern Stars. It's like you would imagine heaven to be like.
I get into the shower to freshen up. Wanting to look my very best today. I laugh to myself as I try to fix my hair. I am not really the fashion type of girl. So, I called my mom to help make some curls in my hair to make me look a little more presentable today.
“Mom,” I yell downstairs “can you please put some curls in my hair please?”
Most people say that my mom, and are like twins, we look so much alike. My mom's hair is shorter than mine, she doesn't like her hair as long as I do.
“Lilly I'm cooking breakfast just hold on I'll see if dad can finish breakfast, and I'll be right up sweetheart.”
“Thanks, I'll be waiting love you so much.”
I get into my closet oh God, what the hell am I going to wear. I don't want to be rejected, I want to look beautiful. I can't take all this pressure, I sit on my bed and just start to cry. I can't handle this damn it.
“Lilly what is going on with you why are you crying?”
“Mom, I'm just freaking out what if I get rejected.”
“Baby girl, you will not get rejected whoever is your mate will love you endlessly.”
I put my head on her shoulder as I began to quit crying, having her close to makes me feel secure.
“Ok now get off this bed and get dressed, so you can come downstairs and eat your breakfast.”
She kisses me on my forehead “thanks mom, I love you.”
“Honey, do you still want curls?”
“No I'll go all natural.”
I find an oversized sweatshirt which is my favorite color purple, some black leggings I get dressed in, I just prefer being comfortable, I brush my teeth and my long brown hair as I look into the mirror. Looking at my reflection hoping that I'm beautiful enough for my mate.
As I am walking down the stairs, the smell of bacon hits my nose. My stomach growls to the smell yum I can't wait to get some. I go down to the bottom of the steps my brother barges into me, so I put my foot out and trip his ass. I laugh then he grabs my foot and falls to the ground still laughing. We both get up and rush to the table to grab breakfast.
“ Mom, this is so freaking delicious you are such an amazing cook.”
My dad cuts in, “Hey I helped her make it, so I think that I am the better cook.” he laughs what
“Ok dad I bet that you made all of this. I start to laugh knowing he is joking.
“I don't care who made it's freaking delicious,” my brother says with a month full.
I love days like these, full of jokes and laughter. Nothing could ever break us apart, we are just that close we really have always been. The conversation stops while everyone is enjoying our birthday breakfast. I look around at my family knowing that today I find my mate hoping that it won't change anything. That we will stay close to each other no matter what, even if we don't live together. As I'm in a daze, I feel a slap on my shoulder.
“Quit daydreaming Lilly we need to leave for school now, or we will be late let go.”
“I'm coming Landon geez you didn't have to hit me so hard.”
I get up from the breakfast table to go gather my things for school. I grab my book bag and my lunch that my mother prepared. You know she still puts little notes in our lunch every day. My brother thinks it's childish, but I think it's hard warming. I ran out to the car to get in and of course my brother's up front. He always sits up front. I just let him who cares, really. On the way to school it is quiet. I'm so nervous about what is about to happen, finding my mate hoping he doesn't reject me. Hoping that I am good enough for him that he will love me. When we get up to the school, and I am nervous, my mom looks at and smiles.
“It's ok Lilly he will love you and if he doesn't, you will find someone who will love you and will make your life more magical than you could ever imagine.”
“Thanks mom, I love you so much.”
“Don't forget dad and I will be here to pick you up right after school, and we will go to Wicked Falls as a family tradition.”
“We will try to have a good day at work, mom.”

Timeless Us
The world she knew is gone.
Her husband, Nathan, is no longer the young man she left behind—he’s successful, respected, and living with a new family.
But when the woman who disappeared twenty-three years ago suddenly returns…
can love survive the years that were lost?
COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder. My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.
Andrea was sent to take down billionaire magnate Nicklaus Montgomery.
Her mission was simple: get close, seduce him, find the proof, and disappear. Instead Andrea finds herself exposed—cornered into signing a contract that binds her to Nicklaus's side as his lover. Now she’s living in his world of wealth, danger, and secrets… and the deeper she falls into his bed, the harder it becomes to remember what side she's on.
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 Hockey Alpha's Fake Girlfriend
Then there’s Rafael. Dark. Untouchable. The boy everyone talks about but no one really knows. He should be the last person Vivienne gets close to, yet she can’t look away. He pulls her in with a kind of danger that feels both terrifying and safe, like he sees the parts of her no one else can.
But Rafael carries secrets—secrets that could destroy them both. And the closer Vivienne gets, the harder it is to tell if he’s her way out… or the reason she never escapes.
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?
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else . I could still feel his touch, it was as if it was etched into my skin. I tired to avoid him but fate wouldn't let it happen.
The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.
As an orphan finding out you still have people looking for you is hard to take but when it turns out to be people of wealth and standing I took the other road and ran, but running led me right back to the place I was avoiding and the person I was avoiding.
Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
