Introduction
He pushed me hard against the wall and lifted my hands above my head, making i hard to move a inch.
He stepped so close, his chest pressed with mine.
"Mr. Frost, I dont..."
"Say my name" He interrupted, whispering in my ear
"Please, let me go" I whispered back breathlessly
"Say my name and I will Maya." He demanded but i knew. I knew the minute i give in. I will be ruined. But that thought didn't seem so bad with him so near me. Smelling his masculine scent, feeling his hand roaming up and down my body.
I wanted to give in. I wanted to feel him. I wanted him. So i gave him what he wanted.
"Elijah, please" i whispered.
The words were nearly out of my mouth when his lips came crashing down to mine giving me what i wanted the moment i first saw him.
What will become of Maya when she is faced with challenge after challenge from her oh so hot boss?
Chapter 1
CHAPTER 1
Gasping, I woke up with my scream stuck in my throat. Sweat running down my temple, I ran towards the bathroom turning on the shower, not caring about the cold water freezing me up.
Sliding down the shower wall, I rocked back and forth, hoping to forget about my nightmare. Willing to do anything as long as it wipes out of my memory. But I know its not possible. After god knows how long, I got up and dressed, hoping a cup of coffee might help, knowing sleep was out of question. Looking at the time, it was 3 o'clock in the morning.
On my way to kitchen, I made a stop to the door opposite of mine. Opening it as quietly as possible, I saw Kyle, my best friend sound asleep. Thankful for not waking him up, I shut the door and went to get that coffee. Kyle has been with me since we were 5 years old. He knew everything that happened to me and helped however it was possible. He is my lifeline, my brother, and most importantly my savior.
I started working on my coffee when I saw a stack of mails on the counter. Having nothing else to do I took my coffee and my mails to the living room and got comfortable on the couch. Going through a bunch of bills and useless papers, I came through one mail that had me frozen on the spot. With shaking hands, I peeled off the flap and took out the paper that could either give me immense happiness or great distress. Reading the every word carefully, a huge smile took over my face. Not caring anymore I ran straight to Kyle's room and jumped on his bed with the loudest squeal ever coming out of me.
"What the fuck Maya?" Kyle screamed wide eyed but as soon as he saw the smile on my face, he let out a deep breathe
"I got it Kyle. Look, I finally got it." Shoving the paper down his nose, I jumped up and down the bed.
Running his eyes over the paper, Kyle turned his wide surprised eyes towards me and let out his own squeal. "You got it. Oh yes, finally."
"I know right? EJF industries has finally given me the job. I cant believe it. God I wanted a break for so long and finally I got it." I gushed, a dreamy tone that can rarely be heard by me.
"You deserve it babygirl. God knows you do." He pulled me in a bone crushing hug which I returned happily.
"LETS CELEBRATE" Kyle screamed letting me go and running around the bathroom as if he didn't just wake up. That's the thing about Kyle, he can't help but he happy about me and I cant help but love him even more
"Kyle its 3:30 in the morning, come back to bed and sleep. We can celebrate tomorrow"
"Wait a minute" Kyle walked back into the room with a stern face and I knew something has had him pissed. And I knew that something was me. "Why are you awake? Did you have a nightmare again?"
I looked down towards my lap guiltily, my fingers twisting together, a nervous habit. "No?" I replied timidly knowing how Kyle gets when he finds out about my nightmares.
He ran towards and and crushed me to himself "Why didn't you wake me up? You know I would have helped?"
Pulling back, I looked anywhere but him "I know, but you haven't slept properly yourself for the past week and i didn't want to disturb you."
Taking my chin between his fingers, he pulled my eyes towards him "I'm never to tired or you babygirl" He said softly.
i couldn't help but stare at him. Kyle was an attractive guy with light blue eyes and olive skin. His well build body and 6 feet was drool-worthy and whenever we were out, girl threw themselves on him. Though, he wasn't into that. You see, my Kyle was a proud gay and that broke a couple of hearts when girls found out he would rather kill himself then be with them.
"Come on, lets sleep. You have a big day tomorrow." Kyle whispered and pulled me with him on the bed. Cuddling me to him.
I sigh in contentment, feeling safe with him. Knowing nothing can harm me as long as he is right there beside me.
It didn't take long for the darkness to takeover and lull me back into sleep.
I woke up, finding myself alone in bed. Jumping out of bed I went to the bathroom in my room. Taking care of myself and brushing my teeth. I went to the kitchen and found a note near the coffee machine. 'GONE TO WORK. THE BREAKFAST IS IN THE OVEN. EAT IT. AND BE READY BY 8 TONIGHT. WE'RE GOING OUT TO CELEBRATE'. I let out a sigh and had began with my breakfast.
I went over all the things that needed to be done today. But the most important was quitting my current job. I shuddered, knowing I have to deal with Max, My boss. Well soon to be ex-boss. He was a creep. There was no other way to describe him. When I first started working out, not a day went by he didn't try to feel me up. He deliberately choose the sluttiest uniform for the waitresses.
A tight busty white shirt paired with the shorted black short that can easily be passed as an underwear.
If it wasn't for financial crises, I would have left that disgusting place a week later. But you have to do what you have to do. And now finally I have the opportunity to leave that God forsaken place and work at EJF, a place I wanted to work at since the past 3 years.
Taking the last bite, I hurried to take a shower and got ready. Rushing towards my car, a nissan micra k11. I got in and drove straight towards Max's pub. The place i wish i could torch it to the ground.
After 20 mins, I shut the door and went straight in, not bothering to greet anyone. Wanting to get this over with.
I knocked on Max's office and entered when I heard a murmured come in. There he sat, with his big rounded belly and bald hair patch. I couldn't help but wince when he shoved his chair back with a screech and sat back with a smug smile on his face when he saw me.
"Well well, there you are. To what do i own this wonderful pleasure? Isn't it your day off?" He said with that creepy ear screeching voice and his smile got huge showing he bright yellow teeth when he saw me flinch. The asshole loved to see us squirm .
I walked over to his desk and with my chin help up and shoulders straight i announced "I quit."
I had he pleasure of watching his smile turn into a grimace. He straightened in his chair and said with an ugly sneer "You cant quit. We are low on staff and we need you. Now get your juicy ass in the gear and get on with it."
"I'm serious Max. I quit. I got another job. But thank you for taking me in when I needed work" I said politely wanting to take the high road and leave with good grace.
A small disgusting smile tuned up on his face "Why yes, I did you a huge favor. Why dont you thank me the way I want you to baby?" And within a mere second he unzipped himself and pulled out his nonexistent dick.
I couldn't help but gasp, My mouth opened wide with horror as he started stroking himself with a smug smile on his face. I couldn't stop the angry that burned inside me. Every single thing this bastard has made me suffer came rushing back. The touching, the slaps on the ass, the inappropriate comments. I turned around and locked the door
As soon as he heard the click, Max started laughing, thinking he was finally getting what he wanted "Come on baby, daddy's ready for some lovin." I turned around and looked over his nasty office and finally found what i was looking for. I went straight towards his collection of baseball bats and lifted one that was hard enough to hurt but not do any permanent damage.
As Max saw what was in my hand, he paled, stood with his with his in front of him and started stuttering "Lo-look y-you dont need to do-do this"
Not caring i rushed towards him and hit him hard on his legs hard causing him to fall and kept on hitting him anywhere that i could. There was a sudden bang on the door as I heard someone screaming to open the door. Maybe they heard Max's pussy ass screams.
I dropped the bat after i had my fill and took a note of Max's condition, The poor old jerkface could hardly breathe. I squatted beside him causing him to flinch. "Hope you know not every ones gonna take your shit." I stood up and turned towards the door and unlocked it. Kate, my good friend and another waitress here came rushing inside. As soon as she saw what happened she burst out laughing. I couldn't help but join in. She took my arm and rushed me towards the bathroom.
"What the fuck happened? Not that he didn't deserve it" Kate asked as soon as we entered the bathroom
"I told him I quit and he wanted me to thank him for letting me work when i needed to by sucking his cock. I was done with his shit so i taught him a lesson" I said nonchalantly fixing my hair by looking in the toilet mirror. Kate stood by me and started chuckling fixing her mascara and lipstick "I hope he doesn't become a much bigger problem now"
"Fuck him. Danny will handle him" Kate said. Danny being the pubs bounce and Kates boyfriend. "Wait. Why did you quit?"
"I got the job in EJF. In starting tomorrow." I said with a huge smile on my face
Kate let out a small scream and pulled me into a hug, jumping up and down. "I'm so happy for you. You wanted that job for ages".
I pulled back and couldn't help but share her excitement "Yeah. Kyle and I are going out to celebrate. Join us?" I asked, knowing there was no way she would say no.
"Hell yeah, I'll meet you there. Just text me the time and place. I need to get going before fuckface wakes up loses his shit."
I started laughing and pulled her out of the bathroom and gave her a hug. "I'll see you tonight"
"You will. And please dress sexy" Kate said with a stern face
"I always dress sexy" I said with a pout
Kate rolled her eyes and went through the hallway to get to work, throwing over her shoulder "Sure you do".
I laughed, shaking my head feeling weirdly at peace, knowing I wont have to see this place again.

"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid.

"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."

Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."
The Spy Who Left
"I still can't believe she actually did it. Aria Hart, filing for divorce. Who saw that coming?"
"How long do we think it'll take before she comes crawling back?" Another voice joins the conversation.
