Introduction
Thinking I was doing him a favor, I stepped in. I tipped off his coach, saved his career.
Years later, he became a multimillion-dollar superstar. His way of thanking me? Framing me with doctored charity records and sending me to federal prison. He even smiled as he delivered the final, crushing blow:
"I planned that crash on the icy road, Kassia. Your parents' lives were just the price you had to pay for sticking your nose where it didn't belong."
Now, my eyes snap open to the deafening cheers of our high school hockey arena.
Sitting right next to me, that same cheerleader is eagerly plotting how to corner him after the game.
Chapter 1
In my past life, just one day before the national evaluation camp that would make or break his career, my hockey-prodigy best friend faked an illness. He was ready to throw away his entire future just to go party in Chicago with a cheerleader.
Thinking I was doing him a favor, I stepped in. I tipped off his coach, saved his career.
Years later, he became a multimillion-dollar superstar. His way of thanking me? Framing me with doctored charity records and sending me to federal prison. He even smiled as he delivered the final, crushing blow:
"I planned that crash on the icy road, Kassia. Your parents' lives were just the price you had to pay for sticking your nose where it didn't belong."
Now, my eyes snap open to the deafening cheers of our high school hockey arena.
Sitting right next to me, that same cheerleader is eagerly plotting how to corner him after the game.
...
The sickening, moldy stench of the federal detention center vanishes.
In its place comes the low hum of the arena's cooling system and the sharp chill blowing off the ice.
I snap my eyes open, gasping for air. My heart, the one I thought had stopped forever, hammers against my ribs so hard they might shatter. Deafening cheers nearly blow the roof off.
Wait, where am I?
"He is so hot," a lazy, arrogant voice murmurs right next to my ear.
I turn my head stiffly. Cheer captain Charlotte Adams leans lazily against one of her girls. With her perfectly winged eyeliner, she stares intently at the ice below, sizing up a prize she already claims as hers.
I follow her gaze. Eric Allen, wearing his number 9 jersey, flies across the ice.
"Any of you know him?" Charlotte twirls the ends of her blonde hair and lowers her voice. "I'm going to catch him outside the locker room later and slip my number in his pocket."
The cheerleaders around her instantly burst into giggles.
"Girl, go get him!"
"Like he could ever say no to you."
Charlotte smirks and shrugs, completely unbothered. "Obviously."
Boom.
A massive jolt shoots up my spine straight to my brain. I know this day. It is the school hockey finals. More importantly, it is the exact moment Eric and Charlotte’s paths cross for the very first time.
I am actually reborn.
"What?"
The word tears out of my tight throat before I can stop it.
I grip the plastic bleacher seat so hard my nails nearly dig into the grooves. Eric's twisted face in the visiting room flashes in my head like a runaway train. I start shaking uncontrollably.
Charlotte and her crew jump at my sudden outburst. They all turn their heads to look at me, their eyes full of disgust, like I am trash on the bottom of their shoes.
"Do you have a problem, nerd?" Charlotte furrows her brows, making zero effort to hide her disgust.
Calm down. Kassia, push it down.
I take a deep breath, force my facial muscles to stop twitching, and fake the calmest smile I can manage. "No problem at all. I just accidentally kicked the seat in front of me. It stung a little."
They give me a suspicious up-and-down look. Once they decide a lab-rat nerd like me poses zero threat, they roll their eyes and snap their attention back to the game.
I look down, staring hard at my faded canvas sneakers. The arena's AC creeps up my ankles. The biting cold feels exactly like that winter night that swallowed me whole in my past life.
Eric and I grew up next door to each other. We used to run on two completely different tracks. I am the school's notorious science freak, captain of the robotics team, maxing out on AP Physics C and Calculus BC. The MIT aerospace engineering logo is taped above my desk as I grind for the ISEF regional qualifiers.
He, on the other hand, is the golden boy. He is the star forward of the school hockey team, plays in the AAA youth league, and is already on USA Hockey's watch list. Everyone knows if he passes the U18 National Team evaluation camp, NCAA Division I programs will practically beg him to join, and a top NHL draft pick is pretty much guaranteed.
Until Charlotte shows up.

Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
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.
