Introduction
Chapter 1
-Malakai's POV-
As I stepped through Alpha Tiberius’ pack house something felt different. I have been here a million times, but I suddenly feel nervous and jittery. Quickly scanning the crowd, I try to calm my nerves. Nothing seems out of the norm. Alpha Tiberius greets me with a handshake, before pulling me in for a hug.
We have known each other since I was fourteen. At the time Tiberius was turning eighteen. The night of his coming-of-age party my parents drug me to the party to meet the new alpha to be. I had snuck upstairs against the rules only to find Tiberius sitting alone in his room. I watched him for a second before realizing he was crying.
I ran in to comfort him and ask why he was crying. He stared at me for a minute, tears streaming down his face before telling me he was terrified of what would happen at midnight. “What’s going to happen at midnight?” I asked with confusion.
The boy looked at me for a minute before sniffling and saying, “At midnight I shift for the first time. Everyone told me it hurts really bad, and I don’t want to do it.” My eyes widened in shock. My parents told me the future alpha would be shifting for the first time tonight and we needed to celebrate him with the rest of the pack. “You’re the future alpha?”
The boy shook his head very slowly before saying “I’m Tiberius.”
I smiled. Tiberius, I like that name. “I’m Malakai, it’s nice to meet you.”
I watched as Tiberius dried his tears. “Don’t be scared, my parents told me the first shift is painful, but they say it gets a lot easier after that.” I tried in a reassuring voice.
Tiberius smiled for the first time since I met him. He pulled me in for a hug “Will you stay here until I get back from my run?”
“I nodded. I will have to ask my parents but I’m sure they will let me stay with you.”
Tiberius released me from the hug. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” I smiled again. “Let’s go get some cake.”
We ran down the stairs. That night we celebrated Tiberius as the future alpha, and I made a lifelong friend. Tiberius is forty-one years old now and tonight we are celebrating his own daughter’s coming of age party.
“Are you okay Malakai?” Tiberius asked as he pulled out of the hug.
My face twists in confusion. “I’m okay. Why do you ask Alpha?” Is my nervousness that obvious?
“Your heart is racing, and you seem anxious.” Tiberius looks at me with concern.
“Honestly, I don’t know what’s wrong. I was fine on the way over here but as soon as I stepped through the door, I got really nervous and jittery. I can’t seem to calm down.”
Tiberius chuckles. “What’s so funny?” I ask.
“Your mate is here tonight.” Tiberius smiles as he places his hand on my shoulder.
“My mate?” I ask more to myself than to Tiberius.
“Yes, your mate is here tonight. You are finally going to meet your happily ever after.” Tiberius grins from ear to ear.
“I’m thirty-seven why now of all times would I suddenly meet my mate? I gave up on a mate years ago. You know this.” I shake my head in disbelief.
“I told you for years be patient. When the time was right you would meet her. Now go mingle figure out who she is.” Tiberius waves his hand at the crowd.
“How will I know it’s her?” I asked, getting more nervous by the second.
“When you get close enough, your heart will seem to skip a beat, you will feel an overwhelming urge to be near her, and most importantly her eyes will seem to glow when they meet yours.” Tiberius nudges me one more time. “Quit stalling, go find her.”
I take a deep breath before heading into the crowd, greeting each pack member as I pass by. The majority of our pack members have already found their mate and started families. Not wanting to waste my chance I try to seek out the single members of the pack.
I’m stopped by a group of our pack protectors right as I’m about to engage in conversation with a young lady with black hair that I’ve never met before.
“Good evening, Beta Malakai.” The pack protectors greet me in unison.
Forcing a reluctant smile, I greet them “Good evening boys, what can I help you with?”
The oldest one Alec hesitates.
Growing more impatient by the second I say, “We don’t have all night boys.”
Alec sucks in a deep breath, as he fidgets with his fingers. “We found some unclaimed territory east of our line. We were wanting to know if we should claim it, or leave it be.”
The pack protectors know Alpha Tiberius is very particular about his territory lines. He doesn’t like to expand often due to the potential for war amongst other packs. Tiberius lost his mate in an unnecessary war due to territory lines. They also know if Alpha Tiberius isn’t in the right mood he will snap and give them unnecessary work as punishment.
“I will talk with the alpha and get back to you boys. For now, leave the land untouched.”
They all nod in understanding. “Thank you, Beta Malakai.” Alec says before leading the pack protectors away.
I look around for the girl with black hair, I can’t find her anywhere. Shit. Well, if she was my mate maybe we will get another chance to meet. Sighing I take another quick look around. I need a drink. Tiberius has a bar set up in the ball room where the majority of the party is taking place, but I head to the kitchen instead.
There are only about four people in the kitchen, talking amongst themselves. After making sure no one is watching I reach into the cabinet above the refrigerator. Tiberius keeps the good scotch hidden here for himself. Scotch is the only drink strong enough to give a werewolf a small buzz. Due to our extremely high metabolism it’s nearly impossible to get drunk. I take a few swigs straight from the bottle.
The crowd in the main party area goes silent, Leilani must be making her grand entrance. I head back into the ballroom just in time to see Leilani and her father descending the grand staircase. The carpet on the stairs is black which makes her royal blue floor length gown pop. Her usually wild hair is curled and pulled into a half up half down do. She is wearing light makeup for the first time ever, and from how slowly she is walking down the stairs she must be in heels. She looks stunning.
I can’t help but tear up seeing the beautiful woman she has become. After her mother’s passing when she was only six years old, I helped Tiberius raise Leilani. I helped make sure he didn’t fall apart after the passing of his mate. Many people would have tried to overthrow him as alpha while he was weakened but I couldn’t do that to him.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Exchanging Vows: The Swapped Wife Is a Top Shaman
CHASING GHOSTS
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.
Bonds at War: The Virgin is Mine
Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore.
No one believed I could do it—not even my mate, Alpha Jaxon Trevane.
The night I planned to tell him... I found him tangled in bed with my best friend.
Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone.
But the academy isn’t the fairytale I dreamed about.
Beneath the grand halls and traditions, a brutal game is being played.
The four ruling Alphas of the North, South, East, and West fight for power, dominance... and now, for me.
A virgin. Untouched. Unclaimed. The prize they all want.
There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back.
The brilliant strategist who wants me as his Luna.
The dangerous playboy who promises no one will ever touch me but him.
And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him.
But in a place where love is a battlefield and lust is a weapon... falling in love might be the most dangerous thing I ever do.
Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess

As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.

Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
