Introduction

She once believed in fairytales. Life taught her otherwise. Heartbreak had become Emily’s constant companion, convincing her that true love was nothing more than a fantasy.

But fate had other plans. Her path was about to cross with Jason Russo, a man who would change everything. Their story was written in the stars, destined to unfold in ways Emily could never imagine.

Chapter 1

Emily’s POV

In the harsh landscape of love, I discovered a bitter truth: it’s not a journey meant for everyone. Some effortlessly find their soulmates and live their happily-ever-afters, while others, like me, stumble through a maze of heartbreak and shattered dreams.

Even in the face of countless disappointments, I clung to hope. It was a fragile thread, frayed by every letdown, yet stubbornly refusing to snap. I convinced myself that the universe was merely testing me and that my true love is somewhere out there.

But my hope, as resilient as it may seem, has its limits. Mine reached its breaking point with a devastating blow from the one person I dared to trust...the man I thought could finally bring me happiness.

He wasn’t just anyone; he was my boss, a figure of authority and allure I couldn’t resist. I knew the risks, the whispers of caution that echoed in my mind. Yet, in my naivety, I believed his promises and surrendered to the intoxicating allure of his words.

His betrayal cut deeper than any knife, tearing apart the fragile tapestry of my hopes and dreams. Was it foolish to believe in love, to yearn for a connection that transcended reason?

In the aftermath of his deception, I found myself adrift in a sea of despair, drowning in the waves of my shattered illusions. The scars he left behind were not just physical but etched deep into my being, a constant reminder of the folly of my faith.

Standing on the edge of despair, I wondered, is there any solace to be found in a world so cruel and unforgiving?

“Love is not for me.”

“It’s time to give up on it.”

“Layla, come on, we need to get out of here. I need a drink,” I practically pleaded with my friend, frustration bubbling beneath the surface.

“I don’t feel like it, Em. We’ve been out every night for the past two weeks. I’m exhausted, and I have work tomorrow,” Layla groaned from her position on the bed, her voice heavy with fatigue.

“Are you trying to rub it in that I don’t have a job anymore?” I shot back, the bitterness of my situation tainting my words.

Layla’s response hit me like a punch to the gut. “I’m not the one who told you to have an affair with your boss,” she retorted, her words cutting deeper than she probably intended.

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my cheeks, my emotions overwhelming me. Layla quickly enveloped me in a tight embrace, offering comfort in my moment of vulnerability.

“I’m sorry, Em. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I know how much you cared for him,” Layla whispered, her voice filled with genuine remorse.

“Okay, okay,” she continued, her tone shifting to one of determination. “But you need to wipe those tears away. We can go out for that drink.”

I sniffled, attempting to compose myself as I wiped away the tears staining my cheeks. “Are you serious?” I choked out, disbelief coloring my words.

“Yes, I’m serious. So wipe those tears, or we’re not going anywhere,” Layla insisted, her resolve unwavering.

With a shaky breath, I complied, drying my eyes as best as I could.

“Oh, Layla, you’re a pain sometimes, you know that?” I managed to tease through my lingering sadness.

“I know,” Layla chuckled, a hint of mischief dancing in her eyes. “But that’s why you love me.”

And in that moment, despite the weight of my heartache, I couldn’t help but smile. With Layla by my side, I knew I wasn’t alone in facing life’s challenges.

“Alright, let’s get going,” Layla announced, pulling me up from the bed with renewed enthusiasm.

Together, we ventured out into the night, ready to drown our sorrows and find solace in each other’s company. We had been to so many clubs and bars in the past two weeks that I think they all knew who we were by now.

“The usual!” I bellowed at the bartender, the words punctuated by the ache in my heart. Within moments, our drinks appeared before us, a liquid balm for my wounded soul.

“Time to drown my miserable life in alcohol,” I declared, tipping back the glass and welcoming the familiar burn that seared away my sorrows.

“Emily, don’t you think it’s time to move on? Find a new job, start afresh?” Layla’s words pierced through the haze of my inebriation, but I waved her off with a dismissive gesture, downing another shot in defiance.

“Let me wallow in my misery,” I snapped, the bitterness of betrayal still fresh upon my tongue. “You have Danny, Layla. You don’t understand what it’s like to lose everything.”

But Layla persisted in her concern, a constant reminder of my shortcomings. “You need to look forward, Em. Find something to live for.”

“Relax, Layla,” I retorted, the edge of my voice tinged with desperation. “Tonight, we’re here to forget, not to dwell on the past.”

And so, we drank. Well, I drank, drowning myself in the amber embrace of tequila while Layla watched, her silent vigil a testament to our enduring friendship.

Lost in the numbing fog of alcohol, I felt a presence at my side, a whisper of warmth against my neck, a voice that sent shivers down my spine.

“Can I buy you a drink?” The words, smooth as silk, pulled me from my stupor, drawing my gaze to the stranger before me.

Mesmerised by his icy blue eyes, I found myself unable to look away, my heart pounding in my chest at the sight of him.

“S-she would love a drink,” Layla’s voice broke through my trance, her words a lifeline in the storm of my emotions.

As the stranger ordered a bottle of tequila, Layla excused herself with a cryptic remark, leaving me alone with this captivating stranger.

“Another love?” I scoffed to myself, the bitter taste of past betrayals still fresh upon my lips. “I don’t want to fall in love again.”

But as his gaze bore into mine, I felt a flicker of something stir within me, a glimmer of hope amidst the ruins of my heart.

“You’re beautiful,” he whispered, his words a tender caress against my soul, and for a moment, I allowed myself to believe in the possibility of something more.

Yet, the voices in my head screamed their warnings, urging me to guard my heart against further pain. But as I looked into his eyes, I couldn’t help but wonder, was it worth the risk?

Summoning every ounce of courage I possessed, I pushed aside my fears and asked the question that lingered between us, a dare hanging in the air.

“Do you want to spend the night with me?”

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Soft hot lips find the shell of my ear and he whispers, "You think I don't want you?" He pushes his hips forward, grinding into the back of my ass and I groan. "Really?" He chuckles.

"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."
