Chapter 1
I fluttered my eyes open to a numbing pain in the nape of my neck. My head stung from the flat noise that rang in my ears.
I couldn't help but wince in pain as I forcefully willed myself up.
It wasn't until a short while after that I finally regained my senses, only to find my surrounding strange.
" Ugh!" I unknowingly let out a soft wimp from the painful ache that twinged all over my body as I stirred in bed. I reached to find and rub the spot where it hurt the most while I tried to look past the pain to figure out just where I was...
Darkness loomed all around, leaving only a faint, eerie haze that clung to the edges of my vision. There was nothing but grim dimness when I looked around, my memory just as void and hazy.
With the stench of waste, dirt and rot permeating the dusty small space, I couldn't help but scrunch my nose and hastily look to recover how I even got here in the first place.
Cling!
A jolt of terror shot through me when I lurched away from the bed, the harsh clang of metal echoed through the room, pinning me in place.
I instantly felt a dreadful churn in my gut, my heart jumped in fright!
Feeling the restriction on my ankle, I realized I was cuffed to the bed frame in chained shackles!
Creak!
Just when I was racing in my thoughts as to what was going on, I heard the door open.
Someone is here!
I held my breath as I stared intently as if to see through the darkness before me.
Thud!
My heart thumped and raced, beating loudly in my head at the sound of the door shutting.
Click! Click!
I slowly retreated as their footstep drew nearer, my gaze fixed on the dark silhouette that slowly grew discernable with each step. Panic grew evident in me as I drew heavy breaths.
" Alyssa..." My name dripped from the silhouette, and then, a familiar face loomed before me, expressing a gloomy let-down.
Like a dart on the bullseye, the sight of his face struck my memory.
I couldn't help but frown as I recollected the incidents that had led me here.
" W-what do you want?!" I snarled, jolting out of my perplexed daze and retreating even further to the wall behind me when I heard his heels click right in front of me.
Looking into his mesmerizing bright blue eyes, I felt a sting in my throat. The fact that I used to adore those eyes, not knowing they belonged to a monster.
I had never felt so betrayed.
If anything, I hated myself for having been so vulnerable to him all in the name of love.
" Darling, I'm..." His voice broke when he tried to speak. I could tell that he was sincerely regretful, as his iris shook at the sight of me recoiling away from him.
But my hatred towards him only rose.
How did I even fall for this madman?!
" I... I know I should have told you-"
' Oh what, that you're a werewolf!? Don't worry, I know now! And I definitely want nothing to do with you, monster!' I barked silently in retort. I was still shocked that beings like him exist, but that wasn't my issue.
Is he seriously trying to talk me into accepting what he is? He really believes that I would still harbor love for him after what he'd done?
' I am being held captive by you and your god-damned family for crying out loud!' I wanted to say, but I decided not to. However, I knew he could tell just what I was thinking from the look on his face.
He stared at me for the longest, his eyes cold and cruel, yet frighteningly calm.
Did I say too much?
I shuddered when he suddenly crouched closer to me and reached to cup my face. I couldn't help but move my face away in fear, thinking he was going to hit me.
I shut my eyes tight, waiting for the impact. However, it never came.
I slowly opened my eyes, to see his hands clenched right in front of me.
Scared and baffled, I looked at him, his reddened eyes a bit watery.
Is he sad?
" You're... You're afraid of me..." He muttered in a dejected voice, looking at his hands as if they weren't his.
Monster!
" I thought you would..." He reached to touch my face once again, trailing off his words as he did, but I just shot my head back and looked away from him.
I don't know why, but I had mixed feelings the more I saw him being like this.
I felt nothing but hatred, fright, and disgust towards him right now. The butterflies that would flutter in my stomach at his touch were now nothing but toxic churns of resentment, writhing like snakes and settling heavy in my guts.
Seeing my reaction, he shook his head and stood back.
" Hah! I guess I was right to have brought you here before you found out yourself. I thought I wouldn't have to, but sadly, I had a feeling this would happen" He sighed out loud, his tone calm and almost devoid of emotion, contrary to his prior countenance.
" It's fine. You can resent me all you like, but that's only until tonight. After all, the full moon is almost in view..." He stepped closer, grabbing my jaw with his fingers in one swift motion.
" No!" I fought to break free but his grip was insanely strong. I could barely move my head at all. I tried to push him away but he just caught my hands, effortlessly holding me in place with his unnatural strength.
Seeing his eyes gaining a cold golden hue, I froze in place, my heart racing in sheer fright.
This isn't the Carl I know!
Even worse, he was nearing his face to mine!
I had never been so scared!
" Right now, I won't force you" He muttered, his breath hot against my face. He neared his lips to my ears the next instance.
" But once I have you turned, we'll be the same. And then, you'll understand why I'm doing all of this..." He leaned to whisper in my ears, his voice husky as he muttered tender threats that felt like a sudden toll of doom promising forever.
I stiffened at the realization of his words
My eyes widened in shock, disbelief clouded by an overwhelming sense of dread.
' No!' I tried to utter, but I couldn't bring myself to, seeing the evil smirk on his face when he pulled back. I was speechless, partly horrified at the thought that I was going to be turned into... a werewolf!?
" Very soon my love" He mused, standing straight and turning to leave.
I could only watch as he walked out of the room, my heart racing in panic as opposed to my dumbfoundedness.
" No..." I muttered in a daze, my tone didn't do just enough to convince me that I wouldn't be turned just as he'd said. I knew quite well that I couldn't resist if I wanted to.
' After all...' I subconsciously looked down at my leg chained to the wrought-iron bedframe.
I've already come this far...

I will never crawl back.

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.

The Sentinel's Conduit
In a world already on its knees, vampires in the streets, daylight a memory, the human race running out of places to hide. You would think a man of God would know better than to make a deal with the devil. Or, in our case, the Vampire Lord.
He didn't.
And I paid for it.
The part I can't quite make peace with is what came after. Because dying wasn't the end of it. Someone pulled me back, one of the five men they call Sentinels, blessed with something older than the war itself. and now I'm supposed to be grateful. They tell me I've been given a second chance. What they don't tell me is that the second chance comes with a war, a calling I didn't ask for, and five men I'm not sure I'm ready to trust.
Especially him. The one in charge. The one they call Elion.
He is not what I expected. Nothing about this is.
I have exactly two questions and no good answers: am I supposed to feel this way about a man whose job is to protect me? And if he's as dangerous as everything in me already knows he is. Would I be safer keeping him at arm's length?
I'm starting to think that was never really an option.

The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
