Piper Hayes · Completed · 6.8k Words
Introduction
Born with the God Bone, unmatched in power, I had Royal Guard recruiters showing up at my door three times, waiting for me to say yes. The whole pack assumed I'd lead them to glory.
Then came that night. My own family dragged me to the altar in the frozen vault.
My mother cried and said, "Lacey was born broken. Without the God Bone, she'll die."
"You're the older sister. You're strong. You'll survive without it."
I refused.
Grant, my fiancé, pulled the knife on me. Brandon, my brother, pinned down my arms and legs. My parents watched from the shadows, saying nothing.
"Don't be so selfish."
They carved the God Bone out of my body, drained every drop of my heart's blood, and threw me into a vault fifty degrees below zero.
My sister took everything that was mine and became the golden girl everyone adored.
A hundred years passed. I became the Supreme Commander of the Royal Guard.
This year, during recruitment, my adjutant handed me the candidate list. I saw a familiar name and smiled. I picked up my pen and crossed it out.
"Doesn't meet the requirements. Denied."
Chapter 1
Cecilia's POV
A hundred years ago, I was the strongest Delta the Silver Moon Pack had ever produced.
Born with the God Bone, unmatched in power, I had Royal Guard recruiters showing up at my door three times, waiting for me to say yes. The whole pack assumed I'd lead them to glory.
Then came that night. My own family dragged me to the altar in the frozen vault.
My mother cried and said, "Lacey was born broken. Without the God Bone, she'll die."
"You're the older sister. You're strong. You'll survive without it."
I refused.
Grant, my fiancé, pulled the knife on me. Brandon, my brother, pinned down my arms and legs. My parents watched from the shadows, saying nothing.
"Don't be so selfish."
They carved the God Bone out of my body, drained every drop of my heart's blood, and threw me into a vault fifty degrees below zero.
My sister took everything that was mine and became the golden girl everyone adored.
A hundred years passed. I became the Supreme Commander of the Royal Guard.
This year, during recruitment, my adjutant handed me the candidate list. I saw a familiar name and smiled. I picked up my pen and crossed it out.
"Doesn't meet the requirements. Denied."
Backstage at the Royal Guard trials, the light was dim and cold. I sat on the throne, watching the magic screen hover above the room.
Out front, the plaza was buzzing with celebration. The Silver Moon wolves crowded around a girl in a white dress.
"Lacey is the most gifted the Silver Moon Pack has seen in a century! She carries the God Bone and her power is off the charts!"
"She's a lock for first place in this year's trials. Getting into the Royal Pack is basically a done deal for her."
Surrounded by all that fawning praise, Lacey ducked her head, shy, leaning into a knight's arms like she barely had the strength to stand. That was Grant. My ex-fiancé.
My father Bourne, my mother Martha, and my brother Brandon all stood behind her, beaming with pride.
I watched that sickeningly warm little scene. My mouth curled into a cold smile.
A hundred years. Time moves fast, but some memories still cut deep the moment you touch them.
That same group of people had pinned me to that altar in the frozen vault. Grant had gripped the silver-laced blade and driven it into my chest, and there hadn't been a trace of warmth left in his eyes. Just a cold, terrible resolve.
I fought back with everything I had, screaming through the pain, but Brandon held my arms and legs down and called me a selfish monster.
My parents just watched from the shadows. My mother even turned away and covered Lacey's eyes, murmuring, "Don't be scared, sweetheart. You'll be better soon."
I could only lie there and watch them cut the God Bone out of me, drain a hundred years of my heart's blood, and dump me in the vault to freeze under the snow.
I nearly died that night. It was the thought of revenge that kept me breathing.
For a hundred years, I clawed my way back from hell, climbing over the bones of monsters and enemies, until the Alpha King himself took notice and brought me into the Royal Guard. Step by step, I became its commander.
"Commander." My adjutant, Reno, stepped forward and pulled me out of the memory.
He held out a gilded scroll. "This is the final candidate list. Lacey of the Silver Moon Pack scored highest overall. It just needs your approval."
I lowered my eyes to the top of the list.
Lacey Silver Moon.
Next to her name, in red: carries a rare God Bone, pure magic.
I picked up the quill off the table and crossed her name out without hesitation.
"Doesn't meet the requirements. Denied." I tossed the scroll back into Reno's hands, my voice flat and cold.
Reno blinked, glanced at the screen where Lacey was still being showered with praise, and said carefully, "Commander, the Silver Moon Pack seems dead set on this spot. If we deny her outright, they might cause a scene out front."
"A scene?" My eyes glinted with amusement. "Then let them. Go tell the Silver Moon Pack, if she wants the spot, she can come see me herself."
I paused. "Alone. Have her walk from the edge of the plaza to the base of the platform and kneel there and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, throw all of them out."
Reno's expression sharpened. He bowed his head. "Understood."
On the screen, the celebration out front kept going. Grant held Lacey's hand, gazing at her with adoration, announcing their engagement to the crowd.
That's when Reno walked out with a squad of Royal Guards.
The amplification spell carried the announcement across the whole plaza. "By order of the Supreme Commander of the Royal Guard! Lacey of the Silver Moon Pack does not meet the requirements. Her eligibility for the trials is revoked!"
The plaza went dead silent. Every smile froze in place. The cup in Lacey's hand slipped and shattered on the ground.
"That's impossible!" Grant yanked out his sword, furious. "Lacey carries a rare God Bone. How could she not meet the requirements? Who's your commander? Get them out here and make them explain!"
Reno looked at him coldly, slamming the butt of his halberd into the ground hard enough to shake it. "The commander's orders stand. If you want to plead your case, have Lacey walk to the base of the platform steps and kneel there and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, the entire Silver Moon Pack gets exiled from the capital."

Mission: Steal the Male Lead
But the more Morwenna changes the story, the stranger the world becomes.

But if the world itself was never meant to belong to its characters, can she steal the male lead before fate steals her freedom first?
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off.

The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife
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.

But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
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.
