“Yes, this is my family's home. Can I help you?” Giana spoke softly.
“We are here to deliver this invitation to the Ortega family” Carlos held out an envelope.

Giana wasn’t sure if she should take it but she was Giana Ortega so she carefully took the envelope and thanked them. She watched as both men turned and returned to their vehicle. Giana went back inside and opened the envelope. Her mouth fell open as she read the contents of the envelope.

Who sent the invitation and where’s it to? What is Gianas love interest hiding from her?

Chapter 1

Giana is a gorgeous 20 year old young woman with amazingly beautiful long dark brown hair. She was tall and slender but she wasnt too skinny. She was fully aware of how full her breasts and butt were but she prefered to dress modestly. Her skin was a beautiful golden shade of tan. She lived in a small town named Rose Hills her whole life.

Her family's house was on a very large property placed just outside of town in a beautifully wide open area that extended all the way to the lake. Right outside her bedroom she has a large garden with her favorite roses in all different colors. There were also tulips, lilies, Sunflowers, jasmine and lavender.

There also was a large willow tree with a small tree swing that she enjoyed sitting on during cool evenings watching the sunset. She lived with her mother and her two sisters. She wasn't fond of her 2 sisters because they always treated her so horribly and made it clear they wanted no parts of being sisterly. She loved her sisters dearly but just never got the chance to bond with them as they were her older sisters and they tended to bully her when their mother wasn't around.

Giana had a heart of pure kindness. She always saw the good in people and trusted easily. She wasn't sheltered by any means she knew of the evil and betrayal in her small town and all over the world. She just chose to believe that there were caring people like her. Especially since everyone in town was so sweet and protective of each other. She loved everything and everyone alike. She enjoyed spending time with the animals and helping the farm hands tend to the horses and cows. She especially loved being able to ride her horse Majestic.

Majestic was a large Arabian Horse. He was tall and gray with white speckles all over. His head was white until it got to his snout which was a dark gray almost black. He had the most amazing yet terrifying eyes. They were so dark they looked black. He was unlike any of the other horses that her family owned because he was a wild horse up until the day he found Giana.

She had been 15 years old when she was out one winter afternoon enjoying the snow beginning to fall. Snowy winter days and nights were her favorite. When out of nowhere this large horse came galloping out of the tree line. She began to run but stopped when she noticed the galloping had slowed to a slow trot. She turned and looked to see this enormously beautiful creature watching her. She slowly took step after step toward the horse. Her heart pounded in her chest as she had never been this close to a wild horse. She had heard stories of how dangerous wild horses were but never encountered one on her own.

This horse didn't seem scared of her but instead he moved closer to her until they finally stood in front of each other. Gianna reached her hand out and the horse stood still and allowed her to touch the side of his face. She stood there just caressing the horse's soft cold mane in the cold winter air. Giana and the horse played and ran around there just spending time together for what seemed like forever. Although she was freezing from the icy winter air and her hands were wet from the snow melting on her gloves. Giana loved every minute of it. As it began getting darker Giana noticed the snow beginning to fall harder and it was actually beginning to accumulate on the ground. Giana bid her new friend goodbye and headed home.

The walk home was short but Giana was sad to have left her new found friend behind. But she knew her mother would never let her attempt to train a wild horse. Giana fell asleep that night in front of the warm crackling fire reading as she did most nights. The next morning Giana awoke to her mother calling her name. “Giana! Come look quickly” her mother shouted from the window in the kitchen that overlooked the field and barn. Giana rushed to her mother and was shocked to see the horse from the day before just standing in the field near the barn. The farm hands were outside the barn mesmerized by the horse's beauty. Giana threw on her boots and grabbed her coat and rushed out the door.

“ Giana, where in god's name are you going?” Her mother yelled as she attempted to grab Giana but giana was much too quick and got out the door with no explanation. Giana ran as fast as she could until she got to the field where the horse stood. The horse allowed her to approach and Giana began stroking and patting the horse. Suddenly Giana had an idea. She walked slowly to the barn and opened a stall and then grabbed some feed and a few sugar cubes and carrots to see if she could get the horse into the warm stalls.

When she came out of the barn she was shocked to find that the wild horse had followed her to the barn's entrance. She was nervous but held out the carrot to which the horse carefully nibbled. She could tell he was cold and she saw in his eyes he was scared but he seemed to trust her. Gianna took a few steps back and slowly worked her way to the open stall door. He followed until she finally was able to close the stall door. She gave him water and more feed. She spent all day in the stall gaining his trust. It was when she heard a farm hand talking about the majestic wild horse she had put in the stall that she decided on his name Majestic.

Against her mothers wishes she spent many days trying to train the horse and slept many nights in that stall with the horse. Her mother told her one morning she couldn't keep a wild horse contained like that but Giana shook her head and was determined to prove her wrong. By spring to everyone's surprise Giana was able to not only walk the horse around the corrals but she was actually the only one able to saddle up majestic and ride him. He never let anyone else tend to him, only Giana.

Naturally that made her sisters jealous and they insisted on constantly trying to go into Majestic's stall. The eldest of the sisters Allison took it upon herself one early morning to not only enter the stall but she approached Majestic and tried to saddle him to show that she was the better sister to own this unique horse. Majestic bucked violently and threw her off which caused her to land on her arm and break it.

Allison insisted over and over again that the horse was too wild and dangerous to be kept in the horse stalls with the other horses. She was so determined to have the horse sent away that she even went as far as to call someone from town to come and get him. Naturally they called Roslynn Gianas mother to verify the information and to Allison's surprise their mother had denied that she called to have the horse removed and scolded Allison for what she had done. After that with the help of Giana the farm hands were able to one by one begin entering the stalls to feed Majestic and even helped groom him. But Allison was never able to approach Majestic; he would buck and go crazy whenever she neared his stall.

"Wait, she's YOUR mate?" Mark asked, "That's...wow... I did not see that coming..."
"WHO did that to her?!" Andres asked again, still staring at the girl.
Her injuries were darkening with the passing of each minute.
Her skin even seemed paler in comparison to the deep browns and purples.

"I called the doctor over. You think it's internal bleeding?"
Stace addressed Alex but looked back to Lita, "She was fine, I mean flustered and bruised but fine, ya know. And then boom, she was passing out. Nothing we did would wake her up..."

"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO DID THIS TO HER?!"
Cole's eyes shifted deep red, "It's not your fucking concern! Is she YOUR mate now?!"
"See that's what I mean, if she'd had THAT man protecting her, maybe this wouldn't have happened," Stace yelled, tossing her arms into the air.
"Stacey Ramos, you will address your Alpha with his due respect, are we clear?"
Alex growled, icy blue eyes glaring at her.
She nodded quietly.
Andres also lowered his head slightly, showing submission, "Of course she's not my mate Alpha, however..."
"However, what, Delta?!"

"At the moment, you haven't rejected her. That would make her our Luna..."

“Daddy, please! Please don’t do this!” I begged with my hands. “It’s done, Tegan, the contract is signed. You will leave tonight to be the Alpha King’s contracted mate. You will bare him an heir within three months, or you will regret it!” He roared out, his face showing me just how angry he truly was. I silently wept at the cards fate played me. I will be nothing more than a baby-making machine for the cruelest Alpha known Ezra Hendricks.

Tegan Declan was a shy she-wolf who was born deaf. Starting a new life as a disabled wolf in a new pack. She is the new contracted mate to the Alpha king, Ezra Hendricks.

“Being deaf was a quality I would hate my son to have. As a wolf, you need all your senses to be able to lead, protect, and stay alive. Lacking hearing would not benefit anyone, it could lead to mass destruction and the loss of many lives. It would not be a good quality for a king. This brought me back to my question. What makes her think she is fit to be my Queen? I want to know what she thinks her strengths are. Would they outweigh her weaknesses?”

The Moon God's Curse

The Moon God's Curse

It’s not the Moon Goddess that werewolves worship – it’s the Moon God.

Thousands of years ago, it’s said that the Moon God walked amongst the earth, ruling over werewolves like the deity he was. That was until a coven of evil witches cursed him, forcing the Moon God into an eternal sleep. They locked him away in a crypt, and his curse can only be broken by his true mate.

1,000 years later, the supernatural world is in shambles. Most werewolves believe that the Moon God is nothing more than a legend, a scary story told to children.

That certainly includes 21-year-old Ollie Fleming, a regular werewolf trying to survive in a pack that’s about to go to war. She just wants to protect her family, so she does what most wolves do when they want some extra luck: venture to Moon God’s crypt to pray.

Ollie doesn’t expect anyone to hear her prayers. She certainly doesn’t expect to awaken the literal Moon God himself.

With his curse broken, the Moon God is sure of two things: one, that he will reclaim the world he once ruled. And two? He’s not letting his new mate out of his sight anytime soon.

Then, a sinister thought crossed my mind.
I began to stroke him. I heard him groan.

The LCD screen in the arena showed pictures of the seven fighters in the Alpha Class. There I was, with my new name.
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
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. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.
