Introduction
Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she’s lived by every rule—rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts.
But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead.
Her father’s cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy’s blade, all because of the one flaw she can’t control—her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season… and now it’s a curse she can’t escape.
Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city’s most dangerous den of demons—a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can’t hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul—a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she’ll never forget.
But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth.
The man who consumed her?
Her older sister’s Alpha husband.
He’s already tasted her. He wants more. And he’ll stop at nothing—no law, no loyalty, no taboo—to claim her completely.
Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch… is how much she wants it.
Chapter 1
CHAPTER 1: HEAT IN THE DARK
SELENE’S POV
The trembling in my body refuses to stop. Every muscle quivers as if I’m standing on the edge of something dangerous, something I shouldn’t touch but crave with every part of me. Heat pulses through my veins like molten fire, curling in my belly and licking up my spine. I try to ignore it, to pretend I can keep it contained, but the ache is relentless, coiling tighter with every breath I take.
The bass thunders through the club, each beat vibrating in my bones, threading itself into my blood. The music doesn’t just play—it wraps around me, sinks its teeth into me, makes my body move with a hunger I can’t tame. Lights flash in shades of crimson and gold, blurring into a haze that makes the place feel even wilder, as though the shadows themselves are watching.
I shouldn’t be here. I know that. This place is wrong for me, forbidden. If my father finds out, he’ll be beyond furious—he’ll be catastrophic. The kind of furious that brings punishment I don’t even want to imagine. But right now? I couldn’t care less.
He pushed me here.
He made me this reckless.
And if my night ends in ruin, then he can bear the weight of it.
This—me being here—is my punishment for him. My silent rebellion against his cold, cutting words and the way he humiliated me in front of everyone. His voice had dripped with disgust, branding me as a weakness, a shame. The memory burns like acid in my chest.
I grit my teeth and shove it away. I don’t want to think about him. Not tonight. Not when the rage in me is burning as hot as the heat I’m trying to resist. I just want to lose myself. Lose the shame. Lose the rules. For once in my life, I want to stop being the Ravencroft daughter who’s always on display, always under control.
I’ve fought this curse for too long—this insatiable pull that flares even when it shouldn’t. My heat has haunted me for as long as I can remember, clawing at my composure until I’m left raw and shaking. Tonight, I’m done fighting. Tonight, I let go.
Three bottles of the club’s strongest liquor burn their way down my throat before I even feel the edge of my restraint fraying. My head feels light, the room spinning just enough to blur the sharpness of reality. I throw my head back and scream with the music, letting it vibrate through me until I’m dizzy with it.
Eyes are on me. I can feel them, dozens of them, some hungry, some curious, some already undressing me in their minds. But I don’t care. I’m beyond caring. I’m surrounded—locked in the wolves’ den by men whose reputations are as dark and dangerous as this place. Brutal men who could take me, use me, break me, and leave me in pieces.
To hell with all of it.
I’ve played the perfect daughter long enough, and all it’s given me is humiliation.
The flashing lights blur. My head swims. My body moves without conscious thought, hips swaying, hands sliding over my sides as I surrender to the pull of the beat. Somewhere through the haze, a touch brushes my back. I spin, and through the fog of alcohol I see him—a stranger with a wicked, knowing smile carved across his mouth.
His lips move. Words I can’t quite catch spill from him, lost under the pounding music. Before I can focus, another touch slides against my ass, firmer this time. I whip around to find another man there, his eyes dark and glinting.
That’s when I realize—I’m being surrounded.
The air shifts, thickening until every breath feels like a drag of smoke into my lungs. The men move closer, bodies rolling to the music but eyes fixed on me. They’re circling, biding their time like predators deciding when to pounce.
My heart kicks hard against my ribs. Somewhere deep inside, my wolf stirs.
"Selene, leave now."
Her voice—Lisa’s voice—is sharp, urgent, cutting through the alcohol haze.
I don’t move. I can’t. Or maybe I don’t want to. The alcohol still rules my senses, muffling her warnings into something I can ignore.
Then one of them grabs me. His arms are solid bands of muscle, crushing me against him until I feel the unyielding planes of his chest and stomach. Heat blooms in me like wildfire. The possessive way he holds me only feeds the sensation, makes me crave more.
I feel him—hard, thick, pressing against my lower stomach. My eyelids flutter at the contact, a rush of shame and need flooding me.
Not here. Not now.
I try to pull back, but his grip only tightens. His hands roam without hesitation, cupping my ass, pulling me harder against him. His lips graze the side of my neck, warm and insistent, and before I can stop it, a moan slips out of me—soft, betraying, dangerous.
The others have noticed. I catch movement in my peripheral vision—two, maybe three more men closing in. Their faces blur in the shifting light, but I can feel the weight of their attention, the collective hunger building around me. My teeth catch on my bottom lip, and gods help me, the idea of them closing in only makes the heat worse.
Lisa’s voice slams into me again, sharper this time. "It’s your mating heat, you fool! Get out now before—"
Her warning fades beneath the flood of sensation. My body trembles, my skin burning as the man behind me drags his hand lower, fingertips teasing along my thighs, slipping under the hem of my skirt, aching to touch what he shouldn’t. My arms lift almost on their own, looping around his neck as my back arches into him.
His mouth finds my throat again, tracing down toward my chest. My shivers make him chuckle, the sound low and rough against my skin.
“You must be a crazy little slut,” he growls into my ear, his tone both mocking and turned on. “Coming in here… with that scent. I can feel it—” his hand tightens on me, “—how much you’re craving to be fucked. And I’ll give it to you. All you have to do is come with me.”
“Oh, goddess…” The whisper escapes me before I can stop it.
I try to push away, I really do. But it’s like pushing against the tide. I finally understand why my father calls it a curse—this thing in me that refuses to be tamed. Other girls my age can control it, cage it until mating season. Me? I flare without reason, without mercy, pulling every male in range straight to me.
The insults from my peers echo in my mind—attention seeker, heat-chaser, slut. I’ve carried them for years. Maybe I am done carrying them. Maybe I should just give in, let this man—or every man in this club—take what they want. Maybe then the dizzying, clawing ache will finally go quiet.
Two more men step up behind me. One leans in close enough for his breath to ghost over my ass. The other grips my waist, his hands firm, trying to pull me from the first man’s hold. They’re all crowding me now, as if I’m the only living thing worth touching.
My body aches for it. My mind screams against it.
And then—
A voice cuts through the air like a blade. Deep, commanding, dripping with authority so raw it makes the walls themselves seem to tremble.
“Let. Her. Go.”
The music seems to falter under the weight of it. The men hesitate.
My brows knit in confusion. Who the hell—?
Before I can see, a rush of air brushes over my skin. Strong, unyielding hands grip me, pulling me out of their reach. The world blurs, shadows folding over me as I’m taken deeper into the club, into the darkness.
All I can feel is heat.
All I can feel… is him.

The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
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.
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 rejected white luna
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.
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.

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.

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.

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface. When Dante is poisoned by a rival syndicate with a deadly toxin no doctor can cure, he offers a fortune for anyone who can save him.
Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
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.
