Introduction
"You called for me sir. Urgently."
She knew nothing about the rules of shape shifters or bossy CEOs.
She said quietly, watching the vein in his neck tick when she spoke.
Oh my God! Was he pissed? Was he supposed to wait for him to speak before she did?
"Where are we going?" she asked as they exited her office.
"My house," he replied simply, noting the impersonal way he had said the word.
He was not taking her to a fancy restaurant but home with him on their date.
Shana had an idea of what was going to happen.
In all her life, she had never imagined she would lose her virginity for the sake of her duty because that was what was going to happen tonight.
"I should warn you," he said stopping suddenly.
Shana Johnson had always lived a life away from prying eyes as a plain waitress but she was way more than that. She is a Crier, communicating with the Dead and fulfilling their last wishes, even when such wishes involve ruining and killing Alpha wolf, Asher Anderson, something his dead stepfather, Adam desperately wants.
But it turned out not to be as simple as it seem when her dormant heart started beating the moment she set her eyes on the powerful shifter and she was caught between duty and love.
Asher Anderson is ruthless but with a heart clamoring for love his Crier of a mother had denied him. He hates her kind and he would never even be caught talking to one let alone bonding with one. But what happens when he finds out the woman his wolf had claimed was no more than what he detested with his whole existence; a Crier?

Chapter 1
The girl woke up from a restless dream filled sleep, drenched in her own sweat like an athlete running in the Olympic marathon. She was scared, confused and felt the relentless urge to scream for help.
She felt strange, a bad kind of strange. It was like she was being watched.
She could feel another presence in the room and it felt cold and dreary.
Her body was on fire, a contrast to the icy cold sensation in the dimly lit room. She whipped off the sheet covering her and rose to stand from the bed but her limbs failed her, making her topple back into the bed. She was as weak as a kitten, floating ungracefully in the air and there was no thumping heart to ascertain whether she was dead or alive, despite her panic and racing thoughts.
The girl looked to the bedside table and finally gave in to the persistent urge to scream. Even the sound came out weak but it was loud enough to attract the wrinkly, keen eyed old woman.
"Easy child. You need to relax," she crooned to the girl as she moved to the bed slowly, leaning heavily on her cane.
Her totally grey dreads testified to how old she was in years. The grey locks fell all the way past her waist to her knees, accentuating her extremely pale and wrinkly skin.
She reached out with her trembling hand to touch the girl's forehead, holding her trembling hand in one of her age spotted and gnarled ones
The girl stared into the old woman's black eyes, dark as death, a bottomless pit of experience and secrets, beckoning her to take a deeper glimpse into what it knows but at the same time, warning her off for what she might find. Her eyes told a story of how old she was in experience.
She looked around the room and her eyes were fixed behind the door for a moment. The girl followed her gaze and felt the icy chill of the room chase up her spine, and she was covered in goosepumps.
"What is wrong with me?," the girl finally brought herself to ask in a weak voice despite the burning felling she started experiencing in her throat. Like she knew what was happening to the body of the young one, she reached for a cup of water by the bed.
She put the cup to her parched lips and drank from the water, greedily taking in every revitalizing drop like her existence depended on it.
"You are going through the Awakening child."
It had not felt like just any waking moment, more like a rude awakening. The girl had questions, starting with the bedside clock.
"What day is it?" She looked back at the clock, where the left corner displayed the date, not believing what was right before her eyes.
"Monday."
"Noooooo..." She could not believe it.
She had slept for four days!
The last thing she remembered was going to bed on Thursday after a nasty bout of severe menstrual cramps_or so she thought but there she was on Monday without any recollections of Friday Saturday or Sunday.
"I know you have questions. But you should calm yourself before I answer them," the old one said soothingly, seeing the wild, panicky look in her eyes
"I....." Words failed her as she stuttered unreasonably. She had no idea what she was going to say.
The burning sensation in her body returned with a pang, making her want to throw off her night shift.
The old woman moved to her side, reading her thoughts again and she proceeded to help her out of the garment.
Her limbs were useless.
She looked down at her naked form. It was hers, from her crooked big toe on her right foot to the birth marks dotting her extremely pale thighs.
But they didn't feel like they belonged to her anymore.
"Mama, what is wrong with me?," she asked again, not having the will to stop the whirlwind of thoughts in her head.
She could not be dead, could she?
How does a weirdo like her know if she was dead?
"Nothing is wrong with you child of my heart. You only got your first message after your Awakening."
That word again. And what was the old one going on about a message?
She wished she could feel a thumping heart or a jumping pulse, anything to tell her she was not dead. The old woman being their did nothing for her because her old self was at death's door already.
She needed answers to questions she did not even know.
With hands shaking due to old age, she covered up the girl's nakedness and moved to sit beside her, going into details, a crying details of what changed the girl's life forever.

Angel's bliss
“Will you shut the fuck up!” he roared at her. She fell silent and he saw tears start to fill her eyes, her lips trembled. Oh fuck, he thought. Like most men, a crying woman scared him shitless. He would rather have a gunfight with a hundred of his worst enemies than have to deal with one crying woman.
“And your name is?” he asked.
“Ava,” she told him in a thin voice.
“Ava Cobler?” he wanted to know. Her name had never sounded so beautiful before, it surprised her. She almost forgot to nod. “My name is Zane Velky,” he introduced himself, holding out a hand. Ava’s eyes grew bigger as he heard the name. Oh no, not that, anything but that, she thought.
“You have heard of me,” he smiled, he sounded satisfied. Ava nodded. Everyone who lived in the city knew the name Velky, it was the largest mafia group in the state with its centre in the city. And Zane Velky was the head of the family, the don, the big boss, the huge honcho, the Al Capone of the modern world. Ava felt her panicked brain spin out of control.
“Calm down, angel,” Zane told her and placed his hand on her shoulder. His thumb went down in front of her throat. If he squeezed, she would be struggling to breathe, Ayya realised, but somehow his hand calmed her mind. “That’s a good girl. You and I need to have a talk,” he told her. Ava’s mind objected to being called a girl. It irritated her even though she was scared. “Who hit you?” he asked. Zane moved his hand to tilt her head to the side so he could look at her cheek and then at her lip.
******************Ava is kidnapped and is forced to realise her uncle has sold her to the Velky family to get out of his gambling debts. Zane is the head of the Velky family cartel. He is hard, brutal, dangerous and deadly. His life don't have room for love or relationships, but he has needs as any hotblooded man.

"Tell me you didn’t fuck him," he demanded through clenched teeth.
"Go fuck yourself, you son of a bitch!" I snapped, trying to break free.
"Say it!" he growled, gripping my chin with one hand.
"Do you think I’m a slut?"
"Is that a no?"
"Go to hell!"
"Good. That’s all I needed to know," he said, yanking up my black sports bra with one hand, exposing my breasts and sending a surge of adrenaline through my body.
"What the hell are you doing?" I panted as he stared at my breasts with a satisfied smirk.
He ran a finger over one of the marks he’d left just below one of my nipples.
The bastard was admiring the marks he’d left on me?
"Wrap your legs around me," he ordered.
He leaned down just enough to take my breast into his mouth, sucking hard on my nipple. I bit my lower lip to stifle a moan as he bit down, making me arch my chest toward him.
"I’m letting go of your hands. Don’t you dare stop me."

Heartsong
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
