Juno’s POV
Much like every other day at the boarding school, the sun shone brilliantly, and the sky was a brilliant blue. It seemed as though the water had awakened from its sleep. And put in a high new abode before being shrouded with the appropriate quantity of clouds. There was a gentle breeze in the air that kissed my face every now and again. Causing my long black hair to drift as the wind blew. It was time to go home. While staring at the vehicle in front of me, I brushed my hair back out of frustration. The driver was moving at a snail’s pace. I sighed and let go. Turn on the radio and listen to some music. It’s been great having some wolf instincts. I can now hear and see things from a distance. Though I haven’t transformed, I have discovered that I am not human. Because the pack taunted me for not being powerful, I was assigned to learn and live among humans. I haven’t shifted. I’m not sure whether I’m a wolf, but my parents think I am. The vehicle in front of me has remained still. I waited for him to move, but the individual did not move. I poked my head out the vehicle window once again. I closed my eyes as I felt the air. I could feel my hair bouncing as a result of its contact. I sat in my vehicle, staring at the vehicle in front of me until it moved. I grinned as I looked ahead at the road.
I drove until I arrived at the pack. It was already nine o’clock at night. I knew I wouldn’t be seeing my parents, but they informed me about a gala at the castle. It was just me and myself. I brought my luggage inside one by one. I despise the thought that I will be stuck here forever now. Werewolves may be cruel. They are all about rankings. While people aren’t concerned with how much money you have in your bank account. I carefully drew the curtain aside from the window and glanced out onto the street. The moonlight has obliterated the solitary side path. My breath froze the glass in front of me as I breathed deeply. I massage it with my hands to improve my vision. Then I saw them, golden eyes gleaming in the darkness. I opened my window to have a better view. Then I heard my wolf, whom I had just acquired today, yell mate! I could always feel and see things from afar, yet my wolf never spoke to me. Yet here she is, our very first communication,
mate!
I chuckled at the notion of how well-known my life is. I was once a person, but now I’m a wolf. Isn’t it customary for her to introduce herself to me? Whatever the case was, I gazed at the wolf. I can’t tell what color he is, but I can see his eyes, which are golden. When I closed my eyes and utilized my so-called wolf focus, I saw a large grey wolf with gorgeous yellow eyes. From his vantage point, I suppose he can see my eyeballs gleaming. Then I saw him striding away with authority.
What exactly is he? Is it okay if I keep my window open? Juno, what are you thinking?
I slammed the window shut immediately. I swear I had a crush on that beast.
Why am I so wet, and why are my breasts so resolute? What’s the matter with me? Why is my body behaving in this manner? What kind of wolf was he? Did I just glimpse him with my wolf gaze? What was I thinking? Was it really crucial?
I strolled inside my room, which was still pink and filled with the teddy bears I used to use before I left. Everything stayed unchanged. When I went into the closet, I found some of my old clothes. I giggled at the possibility of seeing some little clothes that no longer fit. I grabbed a towel and went to the bathroom to shower. I went to bed after taking a shower. I didn’t realize how tired I was until I fell asleep in my bed. I dozed off without wasting another second. Sleep was eluding me. After seeing my mate, I couldn’t sleep.
Is he truly my mate? He must be. After all, what was the cause of the fluid that escaped from my sex?
I tossed and turned in my bedsheets on the bed I was going to sleep in for the rest of my life. Sleep refused to come to me. I shifted to the right side of the bed, most likely as a result of my thoughts on the golden-eyed wolf. I focused my attention on the alarm clock. It’s midnight. I shifted to my right side in the hopes of getting some sleep. I moaned, unable to sleep no matter what I tried. I got out of bed and walked back to the window, expecting to see the yellow-eyed wolf, but there was no one there. I was standing there, unable to sleep. Then I eventually fell asleep.
“Wake up, Juno.” Someone was calling my name. I gradually opened my eyes and realized it was my mother. I scented her and leaped at the chance to embrace her.
“Mama!”
“John, she’s awake.” My father raced inside, and we hugged.
“I cooked your favorite breakfast.” I raced into the bathroom, wiped my eyes, and wash my hands, and return downstairs. Since the table was prepared for breakfast, I sat down. My mother stepped in just as I was about to serve myself.
“There’s a ball in the palace today, so eat something light and get dressed up.” I went out and bought you a dress while you were sleeping. I sighed as I gazed at the cooked bird. I gave her a puppy look, but she didn’t budge. After that, I ate some toasted bread.
"Mom, why is there a roasted turkey on the table? Is it to lure me?"
I’m a turkey-eating monster. She just stared at me. I considered skipping the ball, but I knew my mother would drag me there herself. I exited the room, away from the table. I grinned as I examined the gown my mother had bought for me.
Is this woman planning on having grandchildren soon?
That thought made me smile. I went inside to take a shower. I sat down and put on makeup. I changed into my gown. I stared at myself in front of the mirror. Then I heard a faint voice, the same one I heard the night before.
“You look wonderful, Juno.” I had a quick glance around. I was certain I was going insane. Should I ask her what her name is? I brushed it off and headed downstairs. When my parents saw me, they both smiled.
“You look lovely, sweetie,” my father murmured.
“Can I ask you a question, Mom and Dad?”
“Yes, sweetie, go ahead."
“When I came yesterday, I heard a voice speaking to me for the first time. She screamed, Mate. I saw a pair of bright yellow eyes outside my window.” My mother and father exchanged a grin, and I Continued,
"Then, just today, when I was putting on make-up, she complimented me on my beauty. I’m assuming she’s my wolf, but why doesn’t she introduce herself? When we spotted the yellow-eyed wolf last night, she made my eyes glitter, but I still don’t know what her name is." My father seated me.
"Every wolf has a name, yet some individuals are given wolves who do not have names. I’m thinking your wolf doesn’t have a name. The first thing your wolf does when you obtain it is to introduce itself to you. And they tell you what their name is. If they don’t give you their name, likely, your wolf doesn’t know either. You should name your wolf; if she doesn’t have one, I’d suggest asking her, and then naming her. Now go to the ball. Maybe you’ll run into your mate again." My Father stated.

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.

Taming Her Playboy Bully
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
