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.

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.
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
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.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
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?
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.
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
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?
