M.L. Hart · Completed · 138.5k Words
Introduction
"I've never been more certain," Caleb said, his silver gaze locked on hers. "I would give you the world if I could. But all I want is you. My mate."
Her breath caught. "You barely know me."
Caleb's fingers trailed up her cheek. "I've waited forty years to find you, Bethany. I knew you the moment I caught your scent. And I'm never letting you go."
Caleb is the unmated Alpha of a cursed werewolf pack until he meets Bethany, a shy diner waitress with a hidden strength that shakes his world. For decades, Caleb believed fate had abandoned him. But one glance, one touch, one scent changes everything.
Bethany doesn't believe in fairy tales. Abandoned at birth, she's lived a life of invisibility and heartbreak. So when the dangerously compelling Caleb declares her his mate, her world turns upside down.
With bear shifters closing in and the full moon rising, Caleb and Bethany must defy the rules of nature, power, and fate to claim a love destined to save an entire pack.
Chapter 1
"It really shouldn't be this hard to find him a woman," Reese said.
"Seriously? The guy would rather spend an entire day chopping wood than go looking for one," David replied.
"We've got to do something. It's not right for a man to be alone like that. How can he not want a woman he can love, build a life with—maybe even start a family? I know I do,"Brian added.
Caleb overheard his pack talking and understood their frustration. As alpha, the ancient wolf laws meant he had to find his mate first. Only then could the rest of the pack discover their own destined partners. Until that happened, no one could start families. And to wolves, having heirs meant everything. The desire to find love and have children was natural for his men. He didn't blame them.
There was a time Caleb longed for the same things. But now? He just wanted to split logs and stay away from the myths and promises of fate. He had recently turned forty. If a mate was meant for him, wouldn't she have shown up by now? The idea of a "fated" partner felt more like a cruel joke than a blessing.
With one strong swing, his axe cleaved a log in two. He didn't actually need tools. His strength alone could break wood apart. But using the axe made him feel a little more grounded—more human.
Caleb wasn't just strong. He was too strong. People whispered about him, calling him unnatural, even monstrous. In his old pack, they had feared him. Not because he did anything wrong—but because of his size and power.
Even as a child, he had been larger and stronger than most. When he first shifted into a wolf, everything changed. Within two months, his pack leader cast him out, calling him a threat. At just eighteen, he found himself alone, trying to make sense of his new life and the overwhelming urges that came with it—hunger, lust, loneliness.
He wandered for two years, drifting between towns, doing whatever work he could find, trying to keep himself under control. Eventually, he carved out a place for himself—a small sanctuary where he could be free. Still, some days didn't feel like freedom at all.
It was hard to believe twenty years had passed since then.
He wiped the sweat from his brow and turned toward the three men behind him. They were supposed to be patrolling the borders. There had been talk that bears were encroaching on wolf lands. So far, he hadn't seen any sign of them. A coyote lived a few miles downstream—odd guy, always muttering to himself—but he was friendly enough.
"You done watching?" Caleb called over his shoulder.
"We heard a storm's coming, Alpha,"Reese said. "Thought we'd go into town and stock up."
"No storm's coming,"Caleb replied. "You just want to go where the women are. Hoping I'll finally meet 'the one,' huh?"
"What harm would it do?" David asked.
"I've been to town plenty. I'd know if my mate was there. This is getting ridiculous."He didn't mention how complicated relationships could be—or how little patience he had for it lately. Was he becoming bitter? Probably. But he didn't care.
"There are new women arriving every day," Brian added. "The town's growing."
"You're joking," Caleb said, sighing. "Fine. We'll go."
He set the axe down by a tree stump and peeled off his gloves.
"You gonna clean up first?"Reese asked.
"Not a chance,"Caleb said. "If the woman who's meant to be mine shows up, she'll have to deal with the dirt. I'm not changing for anyone."
His home wasn't just a house—it was a lodge, really, with ten rooms. He took the master suite upstairs with a sweeping view of the valley. The rest of the pack had their own rooms. They were a small group, just four strong, but united by their shared pasts as outcasts. Together, they'd built something new.
He grabbed his keys and headed for his truck. Despite his dislike of confined spaces, he loved his truck. It had started out as a rusted wreck, but he'd fixed it up himself. Now it purred like a dream. It might seem silly to care so much about a vehicle, but he did. It was one thing in his life he could rely on.
As he buckled in, the others scrambled to join him. With only room for two inside, Reese and Brian raced for the passenger seat. David hopped into the truck bed, not bothered in the least. Wolves loved the open air, after all.
Out here, they were free. No rules. No one to hold them back.
The drive to town took about twenty minutes. Sure, it was faster in wolf form, but shifting near humans was risky. Some towns had hunting parties that scoured the woods for large animals. Caleb wasn't sure if people knew about werewolves—or just suspected. Either way, he wouldn't take the chance.
Even coyotes played it safe. The last thing they needed was humans discovering the truth and turning their kind into trophies. People feared what they didn't understand. And if they ever found out that men could turn into beasts under the full moon? That fear would become something far more dangerous.
He parked near the diner and as he got out, Caleb paused. He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to hide what he'd already detected.
Brian took in a deep breath. "She's close," he said.
Another little pesky problem—his pack could apparently detect his
mate.
They could be so fucking irritating. It was why one or more of them insisted on coming with him whenever he went to town. They believed he would purposefully avoid his mate. He wouldn't dream of doing that. It had just never happened for him.
This scent though…
It was sugar and cinnamon and all things sweet. His mouth watered, not to mention how his dick reacted to it. He wanted her instantly and he didn't even know who she was or what she looked like. It didn't matter.
For all he knew, it was a damn good cinnamon roll. "Enough," he said to his men.
He was drawn to the diner. Without waiting for his men, he stepped through the door and found a table right in the back.

“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. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night.

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?
Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface. When Dante is poisoned by a rival syndicate with a deadly toxin no doctor can cure, he offers a fortune for anyone who can save him.
Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
The Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.
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.
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
