Chapter 1
My heart dropped upon seeing what I had to see right now. I even gulped as my heart started racing rapidly as I kept on checking the files.
Who on earth is he?
How could he have these files?
As I checked the last file, my jaw dropped as my face had gone color for what I was seeing right now. I even dropped it in no time. I stood up, wide-eyed as I leaned on the shelf.
I couldnât believe it...
Why did I work for him?
Why did I trust him?
My eyes roamed around the room. It even made my knees weakened upon seeing what is glued in the rooms. It was horrifying and unbelievable! My heart flipped seeing those photos plastered on the wall.
Why does he have so many photos of me?
Why are they in portraits?
Why does he have so many files which are all about me?
My eyes widened as I gasped loudly seeing my younger self on my high school days. âShit...â I mumbled under my breath, couldnât believe what I was seeing.
He even had candid photos of me even on my college days! What the heck! I even had goosebumps right now!
Did he know me all along? Have I met him before? Based on the pictures, he could have known me a long time ago. But how? When? Where?
Is he some kind of stalker right now? Is he my stalker a long time ago?
Is he?
I have so many questions that need to be answered right now. I donât know where to find it or would I even dare to ask it? I felt like the moment I kept on staying here the more I would have to find more of his secrets...
This kind of fuck up. I must find a way to get away from this place or else, there is something that would make flipping my world. This reality that I am seeing is somewhat a nightmare for me. I tried to pinch myself that maybe, just maybe, Sir Sebastian's room was just a nightmare and I must be dreaming about it.
"W-What should I do right now?" I whispered and even tried to approach those portraits. My horrified face was mirroring the portrait glasses right now as I gulped.
This couldn't be happening to me. I could have wished that I was just dreaming and this is some sort of nightmare!
I turned around to leave immediately but I gasped seeing a manly tall figure lurking in the dark. He showed himself as I stepped back. The moonlight had given him a faint light and that I realized I fucked up.
âS-Sir Sebastian... I-â I didnât know what to say. My tongue got stitched as I was looking at his cold and stoic expression. I knew I shouldnât get intimidated by his dark aura right now because I used to fight him back. But right now is different. I couldnât even move my legs. His cold stare made me froze on my ground.
âSo, you have seen them,â he stated, not asked. Like he already concluded that I already saw everything.
Trembling, I stepped back and shook my head. âI-I did not see a-anything...â Shit... How am I going to leave this place? No one was going to save me.
His sinful lips formed a smirk, moving forward. âYou are not going away in this place, Cejay. Now that you have known my secret. You really think I would just send you off so easily?â

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."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.

"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been gloryâblood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend meâhe sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrenderâdive into the waves and never surfaceâbut the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precisionâbecoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding strangerâand my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me payâand take back everything that was stolen from me.

I Slapped My FiancĂ©âThen Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancĂ© nowâbillionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didnât mind. Iâd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. Thatâs when it hit meâhe didnât love me. He didnât even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasnât even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disasterâmy parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. Iâd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision Iâd ever made.
Because my one-night stand isnât just some random guy. Heâs richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, heâs not letting me go.

They say your life can change in a heartbeat.
Mine changed in the time it took to open a door.
Behind it: my fiancé Nicholas with another woman.
Three months until our wedding. Three seconds to watch it all burn.
I should have run. Should have screamed. Should have done anything except stand there like a fool.
Instead, I heard the devil himself whisper in my ear:
"If you're willing, I could marry you."
Daniel. The brother I was warned about. The one who made Nicholas look like a choir boy.
He leaned against the wall, watching my world implode.
My pulse thundered. "What?"
"You heard me." His eyes burned into mine. "Marry me, Emma."
But as I stared into those magnetic eyes, I realized something terrifying:
I wanted to say yes to him.
Game on.

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wantedâespecially not that night.
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
