Introduction
~
“I, Alpha Beckett of Ashridge Pack, by the name of the moon goddess, reject you as my mate!”
~
A rejection.
A bond severed.
But life had other plans for me in the form of Xander Theon Grayson, hockey star, golden boy of NorthVale High, A-star student. But what I didn’t know is that he’s an Alpha with a curse.
I need him, and he needs me.
So we signed a fake mate contract. But it comes with a lot more than I expected: a jealous ex, mysterious powers that level me up in a system, a quest to find my origin.
But the question in my mind is: Can I save my mother’s life? Can this bond between Xander and I blossom into something real, even something beautiful?
Chapter 1
“Sign it, Fiona.”
The cold wind blew, and the smell of his expensive cologne wafted across my nostrils.
I tried to look away from his face—handsome, almost as if it were crafted by one of the gods.
He leaned over me, and all I could think about was kissing his full, plump lips again.
But instead, I took a long look at the stack of paper in his hand. It read ‘The fake mate contract’
I exhaled as my heartbeat increased.
So this was really happening?
He continued, oblivious to my turmoils and insane attraction for him. “You get to be Luna and save your mother. I get to save my dying wolf and make my ex-girlfriend jealous.”
I looked from his hockey gear, his jawline, to his piercing molten gold eyes.
“Read through the rules.” He said.
I picked up the paper, and with trembling hands, signed it.
What was left? I was a rejected wolf with nothing left to lose.
This is a story of how my fate collided with that of Xander Theon Grayson, Northvale’s star hockey player, and I fell so deeply in love with him the world stood still.
But first, I had to lose everything.
~(Flashback)~
The sound of loud moans filled my ears. The smell of sex filled the air.
I froze by the hallway that led to my boyfriend, Alpha Beckett’s room.
How could it be?
I placed my ear by the door, willing it to be untrue. But instead, I was faced with the mind shattering revelation that he was cheating on me.
I could hear the sounds as their lips met. And a chuckle that came from none other than my boyfriend. “Fiona is a fool to think she'll ever be Luna. I was just messing around with her. It's you I love.”
My jaw slackened in utter disbelief.
Without another thought, I pushed open the door and my eyes met first with Isis, Beta Otto's sister, the prettiest girl in Ashridge pack.
There they were, naked, cuddled together and my heart just couldn't take it.
“Beckett!” I screamed.
He looked unbothered by the fact that I'd caught them. With a cold gaze, he spat out. “From now, it's Alpha Beckett to you, Omega.”
Realization struck me. Cruel and bitter.
But I wasn't as weak as people thought, and I'll prove it.
I wore a numb expression.
“Understood.” My voice croaked.
I took one last glance at them and walked out.
And then I ran. Away from it all.
One more second in Ashridge pack will sicken me.
The perimeter lights were blaring red, but I ran with no destination in mind.
I could imagine what would happen as we'd now broken up. The bullying from pack members will continue. The mutter of ‘rogue’ any time I pass by, the demeaning gazes.
I and my parents moved to Vermont when I was eighteen.
Well… my stepdad, and my mom, who'd been in a coma since I was born.
I never knew who my real dad was. No one did.
My life changed on the first night we moved. I was out on a stroll and got bitten by a rogue wolf.
I stayed in Ashridge packhouse since then.
I turned to a werewolf the same night.
But life's cruel twist - I'd never shifted or spoken to my wolf since then.
It was almost like I was wolfless. No one knew but my best friend, Cassia. She promised to keep it as a secret.
If they knew, they'd think I'm cursed and kill me.
On the night I first moved to Ashridge as a werewolf in training, I had a trance from the moon goddess. She told me I could save my mother if only I became Luna. She said other things too… but that's a story for another day.
Beckett and I started dating afterwards. I thought he loved me.
Well… apparently he didn't.
Tears welled up in my eyes. And for the first time in a long time, I cried. Really cried.
I stopped and looked around the environment. It was my new school. Northvale High.
What would people say if they saw me crying?
I ran to the back of the building. It was a large hockey field.
I was looking for where to hide when I bumped into someone wearing a thick hockey gear.
“S-sorry, I didn't mea-” I froze when I looked up at him.
Tall. Brooding. Majestic.
Our eyes locked, and time froze.
A look of disbelief passed across his eyes.

(Xander's POV)
Coach Bruce's voice filled the school's megaphone.
“Xander Grayson, report to the hockey field now. We've been waiting hours for you, princess.”
A round of chuckles went across the hallway.
I stood by my locker with a smirk plastered across my face.
I knew I was late for practice, but today was such a shitty day. Everything seemed to be going left.
With a sigh, I picked up my hockey gear bag and sprinted across the hallway as I headed to the hockey field.
“Xander!” I could hear the voices of students calling out to me. The girls batting their eyelashes. The back slaps from the boys.
Sometimes life just seemed blurry. I learnt to keep to myself all while maintaining my status as NorthVale's golden boy.
“Xander, you're looking so handsome today.” A girl stood in my front, blocking me on my way. “Can I come watch you practice?”
What was her name again? Justina? Jasmin?
I gave her a small smile and turned left, heading to the field.
I caught her excited voice as I went. “Oh my god, Xander Theon Grayson smiled at me.”
I almost rolled my eyes. Girls! I never understood them.
A sharp, painful tug went through my chest. I slowed down, but didn't stop so as not to attract unwanted attention.
I knew what the pain was.
Moment of truth.
I was an alpha werewolf, and nobody in school knew.
But my wolf was dying, I discovered from my shaman many years ago. He said the only way I could restore him was to find a mate.
I started dating my girlfriend, Nova, afterwards. Daughter to Alpha of Nightfang pack. And hopefully, the one who'd help restore my dying wolf.
I didn't stop running till I got to the hockey field. The smell of ice wafted in my nostrils, and something else…
Someone bumped into me, and I looked down.
It was a girl.
Red hair. Green eyes. An incredibly pretty face.
Wait…
Was she crying?
My wolf, that had been silent for a very long time, stirred suddenly, howling one word - ‘Mate!'
I paused, confused. She didn't seem like a werewolf. She was a fragile-looking human girl.
And besides, I already had a girlfriend.
This must be some cosmic mistake!
She was still staring at me. She looked like she was in a trance. “Sorry.”
“It's fine.” I muttered and continued on my way.
I took one last glance at her.
How could this be?
–--------
~(Flashback ends)~
(Fiona's POV)
I walked away from him that day believing our paths would never cross again.
I was wrong.
Terribly, horribly wrong.

My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
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?

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.
THE CHRONO WITCH: BENDING TIME TO SAVE HIM

This time, Kayla is determined to save him. Except nothing goes according to plan.
Zayn has a girlfriend. And the closer Kayla gets to changing his fate, the more she realizes her powers are bigger and more dangerous than she ever imagined.

Kayla has no idea what's in store for her.

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.
