Chapter 1
Riley's P. O. V.
"Riley, I told you to clean my white dress. Have you done that??" Sarah came to the kitchen and asked me with an annoyed expression.
"Yeah, Sarah, it's in your wardrobe.. First shelf." I spoke while chopping veggies.
"Whatever." Sarah rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
She is my younger sister, a year younger than me. She is the queen of the house. At least she thinks this way.
"Isn't the cooking done yet?" Why are you so slow? Are you planning to starve us to death?" Came my mom's angry voice. "Here, take these files to this address after cooking." With that, she put down a file and a paper.
"But Mom, I have to study for tomorrow's test." I told her.
"Your father has a crash in his business. Now that he is poor, you don't want to help him out?" Mom was furious. "He has an important client meeting in this hotel, and he forgot the file. What if he loses this contract? Get the food ready and go there!"
I wanted to protest, but she was right. My father recently had a crash in his business, and I need to help him if I can, right? Thinking this, I said okay.
After 10 minutes, dinner was ready. So I picked up the file and looked at the address. There was a name written: 'Hotel Paradise, Room 302.' I have seen this hotel before but I have never been there. It was about a half-hour drive from here. I looked at the watch it was only 7:30 so I can come till 9 if it takes the most. And I still have time to prepare for my test tomorrow. "It's better if I go," I thought to myself.
"Are you going to make others think we don't give you money to buy clothes??" When I was about to leave, Mom angrily retorted behind me.
"Wear this." She threw a cloth over me.
It was a V-neck red dress that was a bit short and revealing. I never wore this kind of clothing. I wanted to say no. I hesitated for a while, but it was my mom, and I didn't want to hurt or anger her, so in the end, I put on the clothes and left the house.
.......................
Half an hour later, I was in front of Hotel Paradise. I went inside. Hotel Paradise is one of the most famous and luxurious hotels in A city.
I went inside and asked a waiter about room 302. The waiter looked at me like a boy seeing a toy he had carved. This cloth was attracting attention. This is why I hate this kind of clothing. The waiter gulped and showed the way.
After reaching the room, I knocked on the door. To my surprise, the door wasn't locked, so I went inside. As I entered the room, it was quiet and dark inside. No one was here. I called Dad a few times, but there was no response. I thought I had gotten into the wrong room, so I went to the door. When I was about to touch the handle, someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a strong arm. I can smell alcohol, and from the touch, it surely was a man.
"Let me go!" I tried to break free from the man. But maybe I wasn't strong enough...
The man didn't speak but laughed hysterically...
I was scared to death. I was on the verge of crying. I barely manage to say, "You got the wrong person. I accidentally came into the wrong room. Please let me go."
Listening to my plea, he stopped for a while and asked me with a lustful voice. "Aren't you Riley?"
"Yes, I am. How do you know?? And I'm not the person you think I am," I said with a little hope.
"Riley, then tell me why you are here?" He asked with a smirk.
"Mom send me here to deliver these files to Dad." I said, shaking, "I think I got in the wrong room."
"Is your mom Amanda Winston?? "
"How do you know my mom?" I turned to face him.
I knew him. He was Thomas White. He was a well-known playboy in A city. He is a 50-year-old rich pervert. He is always around young and beautiful girls. I was scared just seeing him here.
"You know what, young lady," he said, pushing me on the sofa.
I was scared and curious at the same time.
He said, "I think you should know this."
He stopped midway.
"What are you talking about?" He knew my mom and me. What was it supposed to mean?
"Your father has recently crashed his business. Right?? "
"So?? "
"We had a deal. If I give her money, she will give me her daughter for one night. Don't you think it's a great deal? You'll enjoy beauty, I promise." With that, he pounded on me. He grabbed my hands and got on top of me.
"We?? Who?? " I tried to push him away. Who could hate me that much to sell me??
"Your mom, girl. She sold you to me for 1 million dollars." He was forcing himself on me.
I had never been to something like this before. I was so scared. I tried to free myself but I was weak.. Or maybe I'm too scared so I can't break free of his hands.
" No you are lying! Mom won't do this to me!" I shouted to him.
"Then how do you think I know you and your mom?"
And he covered my mouth with his right hand while grabbing my hands with his left.
Right. How did he know us? My head was in a mess. I want to shout for help, but he had covered my mouth...
No way, Riley you can't lose yourself to this old pervert. You've got to run away now.
"Ahh" I kicked in between his legs. He screamed in pain.
I took the opportunity and pushed him away. I got up and tried to run away.
I was running towards the door, but that old man came forward and leaned on the door.
"You think you can run away after kicking my balls?" I will make you pay, bitch." With that, he slapped me. I felt dizzy and fell on the cold floor.
"I have paid for you. You can't run. You will pay for everything, bitch." He tore down my dress.
Now I was almost naked on the cold floor with this old pervert... about to be raped. I thought to myself.
No... I can't be raped. No. Never.
His hands were about to touch me. I searched for something to hit him with. On the table was a vase. I stumbled forward and grabbed it. With a smash, I hit him on the head. He screamed in pain, but I didn't care about it.
I held my torn dress and tried to cover my nakedness. I opened the door and ran.
On the way outward I could feel people's gazes on me but I didn't care about the people. I was so scared and embarrassed that I just wanted to run away and so did I. I ran to the parking lot, sat in the car, and drove away.
I don't know where I was going. My vision was already blurred from crying. That old pervert's voice was still ringing in my head: "We had a deal. If I give her money, she will give me her daughter for one night. Don't you think it's a great deal?? You'll enjoy beauty I promise."
My head was in a mess. I didn't want to go home but I was scared to be alone outside. I didn't even know where I was going. I stopped the car and began to cry.

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 Billionaire's Mask (A Dark Steamy Romance)
The Vampire King's Feeder
Emory: I was born to be the Alpha of my pack, my father's first born daughter. But now... I am here, in the castle of our greatest enemy, the Vampire King. I should hate Kane Alexander, but the more time I spend with him, the more I long for him in ways I cannot understand. I am not here to be his lover, though. I am here to be his feeder. But even before his lips graze my skin the first time, I know I would give myself to him in every way imaginable if only he should ask. Kane: I long to taste the wolf shifter, but not her blood, her body... her essence. I want her in every way imaginable. But I'm already betrothed to marry another blood-born vampire, and if I call that off, I have resigned my kingdom to yet another war. There has to be a way to keep Emory Moonraker as my feeder but not claim her in my bed. I just haven't figured it out yet, and every time I look into her jade eyes, I forget everything and everyone but her. But I have enemies, and every moment she spends here in my home, Castle Graystone, she's in danger.
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
Dangerous Love with the Mafia
Driven out by her adoptive mother and sexually harassed by her boss, she stumbles into a seedy bar, desperate to drown her sorrows. There she meets Alex: sharp, devastatingly handsome, and impossibly charming.
What starts as a wild one-night stand blossoms into a tender, almost surreal romance—art galleries, riverside walks, and whispered promises that feel too perfect to be real. But when Alex vanishes without a word after a morning of gentle intimacy, Sarah is left with a hollow ache and a creeping doubt.
Their encounter was no accident. Behind Alex's blue eyes and skilled touch lies a darkness far deeper than she ever imagined—and the love that burned so bright may come with a price that could destroy her.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
The First Female Alpha
The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.
But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.
