Introduction
I didn’t answer him. All I could feel was hatred, sadness, and sorrow. This is the worst day of my life.
We faced the judge while I was trying to brush his hand off my arm.
The entire event happened with me trying to move away from him while he keeps on pulling me beside him.
The judge didn’t even ask me if I agree on marrying him.
“And now, I pronounce you husband and wife! Mr. Hastings, you may kiss your wife now.”
That phrase caused my whole body to shiver. I could still remember the time when he kissed me.
Sebastine faced me and lifted the veil above my head. I froze in place for a moment while I was staring at his face.
Slowly, he moved his face closer to me while looking straight into my eyes. My heart kept on beating so fast it felt like it was going to jump off my chest.
He put his hand under my chin and made me look at him as he claimed my lips.
I flinched but then I closed my eyes as I felt the warmth of his mouth.
I wanted to push him away, I wanted to punch his face but I just couldn’t. It felt like a spell was cast on me.
I tapped his chest for him to finally move away but he just won’t pull away from the kiss.
He only let go of me when he was finally satisfied. We were both panting.
His men started to clap while looking at us.
Chapter 1
Ava's POV
"So, what makes you think that we'd actually accept you as a part-time teacher here in our University?" asked one of the interviewers to me.
With my hands shaking, I took a deep breath and faced her confidently, at least that's the definition of confidence for me. Then I opened my mouth, "I am
actually...err... I'm a straight A student from kindergarten until now.
And I am also running for the highest rank in our class now. I really like children and I love teaching them...".
You can do it, Ava. No need to be nervous, you can do it, girl.
The woman and the man beside her looked at each other and nodded, "So,Thompson is your surname? Do you have any relationship with Mr. Edward Thompson?"
"Yes, he is my father."
Both of their eyes widened upon hearing what I just said.
They quickly stood up and bowed their heads at me, "G-Good Morning, Miss Thompson ".
"N-No, you don't have to be so polite to me. I'm just an applicant here, and so I just want to know if I get in?" I asked them with my fingers crossed and my heart beating incredibly loud that it could actually jump off my chest right now.
"Of course, Miss Thompson! You are in! You can now teach in our school whenever you want to start!".
"R-Really?! Oh, thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me, thank you so much!".
"Y-You're Welcome, Miss Thompson, it's also an honor for us to have you here in our institution."
I was jumping enthusiastically as soon as I stepped out of that room. Teaching children has been my dream ever since I was a child, it was my mom's dream for me too, before she died.
And now it has already come true! I'm sure she's so happy for me.
Although I think the only reason why I got in was because of my surname, Thompson. My father, Edward Thompson, is known to be one of the richest men here in New York City.
But that doesn't mean I am rich too. Everything that he has, they don't really belong to me.
I'm just his daughter with one of their maids before whom he had a one-night stand with even though he already had a wife.
Afraid that dad's parents would get mad and shoo him away from their family, mom decided to just leave their mansion and escape to hide me from them.
She lived in a place where she thought everyone wouldn't be able to find her but she was wrong, because my grandparents are so rich that they can hire anyone just to locate where she is.
They took me away from my mother, I escaped their house when I was ten years old and went back to my mother but they took me back again.
Mom also told me to just stay at my father's house too. Then one day, she had a heart attack and died, I went to her burial, alone.
Until then, I lived at my father's house.
Their enormous mansion that could actually have a hundred families to live in.
If you're thinking that I live a wealthy and happy life since I'm a Thompson, then you are all wrong, they don't treat me as one of them anyway.
I do all the things that maids do, I serve them, wash their clothes, bring their clothes, carry their bags, water the plants, wipe the windows, floors, anything.
That's the consequence of living inside their house. "Hey Ava, where the hell did you go again?" Cathrina asked me as soon as I stepped inside the mansion.
"I applied for a job." I simply replied.
Catherina the oldest daughter of my father and his wife, his first and legal wife.
They have two daughters and one son in total who are, of course, way older than me. "A job? Why? Do you still need money even if dad's already giving you a monthly allowance?".
"It's not about the money, I really want to teach children ever since."
She just rolled her eyes, "Oh whatever, do what you want, just don't forget to do my assignments.
Tomorrow will be the deadline for all of that."
"Okay."
"Hey Ava!" There goes Cindy, the second to the oldest daughter of my father.
"Buy all of these, okay? I need that in my school tomorrow, I need that in my school tomorrow, and also, don't forget to go to Harold's house and tell him that I'm already breaking up with him.”
My eyes widened as I looked at her with confusion, "Why don't you just break up with him in person?".
"Shut up! Just tell him! I don't want to waste my time with his drama again!".
Cindy has the habit of dating different boys in her school, then breakup with them after a week, but what's worst is that I am the one who talks to his boyfriend and tells them that she wants a breakup.
I always have to make up stories and find possible reasons why she wants a breakup.
I just suppressed a sigh then I was about to go to my room and change my clothes when I suddenly saw Gabriel walking towards me with a smile on his face. "Geb!"
"Ava! You need to hear this new song that I composed!" he said, enthusiastically. Geb is two years older than me and really loves music.
Out of all the siblings I have, he's the one I'm closest to.
"Alright, I will just change my clothes and then we'll listen to it later, okay?".
"Okay! I'll wait for you at my studio."
"Okay!" Then I finally opened the door of my room and went inside with a smile on my face.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

The rejected white luna
Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.

For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
