VOLUMEN UNO: SI LLEGA LA MAÑANA, PARTE 1
Hace diez años
—Te quiero —dije mientras abrazaba a mi padre para despedirme. Mi Volkswagen Escarabajo estaba tan cargado que la parte trasera se hundía, a pesar de que mi padre había añadido más aire a los amortiguadores traseros.
—Cuídate —susurró en mi cabello mientras me sostenía contra su pecho. Luego, se apartó para mirarme a los ojos—. Prométeme que escribirás.
—Dios mío, James —respondió mi madre, sonriendo—. Solo va a Nashville, no a la Luna.
—Papá, si tuvieras un teléfono móvil, podrías enviarme mensajes cuando quisieras.
Pensándolo bien, tal vez era bueno que no lo tuviera. Había sido cantante y músico toda mi vida, comenzando en el coro de la iglesia y luego actuando en diferentes lugares locales. No podía esperar para comenzar este nuevo capítulo de mi vida en Nashville.
—Sabes que aún estás a tiempo de cambiar de opinión. Siempre puedes ir a la universidad —Mamá se secó una lágrima y luego me abrazó.
—Mamá, ya hemos hablado de esto. Quiero esperar unos años —solté un suspiro exasperado—. He esperado toda mi vida para esto, y si espero demasiado, será demasiado tarde.
—Cariño, solo tienes dieciocho años —Mamá acarició mi cabello rubio con reflejos de sol—. Tienes toda la vida por delante...
—Maggie, déjala ir —dijo papá, rescatándome. Mamá se giró para mirarlo con enojo cuando añadió—: ¿Ahora quién está aferrándose demasiado?
Mamá rió, mirándome una vez más mientras las lágrimas llenaban sus ojos—. Alyssa, recuerda: siempre puedes volver a casa cuando quieras.
—Lo sé, mamá —dije, tomando una respiración profunda—. Pero si no paras, me vas a hacer llorar también.
—Vamos, cariño —Papá apartó a mamá, rodeando su cintura con sus brazos desde atrás—. Tenemos que dejarla ir.
Mis padres estaban tan enamorados. Hacía ruidos de asco ante sus muestras públicas de afecto, pero en secreto esperaba encontrar algún día a alguien a quien amar así, aunque sería difícil estar a la altura. Tenían la relación perfecta; siempre tan pacientes y cariñosos el uno con el otro. En toda mi vida, nunca los había escuchado decirse una palabra áspera.
—Hola, hermanita —Greer me abrazó—. No olvides escribir —dijo sarcásticamente con una sonrisa dirigida a nuestro padre. Él puso los ojos en blanco, balanceando a mamá de un lado a otro, con sus brazos aún alrededor de sus hombros. Luego, Greer se acercó para susurrarme al oído—: No te portes bien. Diviértete un poco.
Me reí, apartándome. Ella tenía el mismo cabello largo con reflejos de sol que yo, pero era un poco más baja, aunque solo tenía un año menos. Era divertida, vivaz, y podía contarle cualquier cosa. A menudo hablábamos hasta altas horas de la noche. Extrañaré nuestras charlas nocturnas cuando se colaba en mi habitación. Nos sentábamos durante horas hablando o comiendo Oreos con leche. Una vez, nos terminamos un galón entero de leche y un paquete de galletas en una sola sentada, aunque ninguna de las dos había ganado ni un gramo. Mamá se enfureció a la mañana siguiente cuando se enteró, pero valió la pena. Amaba a Greer con todo mi corazón.
—¡Oye! Tal vez puedas venir a visitarme.
—No hasta que se gradúe de la escuela secundaria —intervino papá mientras mamá sonreía.
—¡Papá, vamos! —se quejó Greer—. ¿Ni siquiera durante las vacaciones de primavera?
—No.
—¿Ahora quién está siendo sobreprotector? —dijo mamá, riendo. Papá la hizo cosquillas, y ella chilló de alegría.
—Te voy a extrañar, Greer —dije, dándole un último y rápido abrazo—. Cuídate y no olvides estudiar.
Greer era un poco fiestera, así que no necesitaba recordarle que se divirtiera. Yo había sido todo lo contrario, a pesar de nuestro parecido físico. Ella siempre me recordaba que me divirtiera más, y yo siempre le recordaba que no se divirtiera demasiado. Me preocupaba que se descontrolara un poco sin mí allí para frenarla. Pero era inteligente, y sabía que tomaría las decisiones correctas.
Greer puso los ojos en blanco.
—No te preocupes, Alyssa. Tal vez pueda convencer a papá de que me deje visitarte antes de que vuelva a la escuela.
—No cuentes con ello —dijo papá detrás de nosotras.
Greer sonrió y luego me dio un rápido beso en la mejilla.
—Bueno, vete antes de que empiece a llorar también. Te quiero, hermanita.
—Yo también te quiero —dije, luego saludé a todos mientras me subía a mi VW, lo ponía en marcha y me alejaba, dejando a mi familia atrás. Los vi saludando en el espejo retrovisor mientras conducía por la carretera hacia la I-95, rumbo a Nashville, Tennessee.
Había crecido en West Palm Beach, Florida, pero siempre había soñado con probar suerte en Nashville. Por la forma en que papá actuó hoy, uno pensaría que él era el que no quería que me fuera, pero, en realidad, él había sido quien me salvó de mamá. Después de que le conté mis planes de mudarme a Nashville, ella estaba decidida a no dejarme ir. Pero fue papá quien finalmente la convenció, diciéndole que me dejara extender mis alas. Mi padre era un gran cantante y siempre había lamentado no haber intentado suerte en Nashville. No quería que cometiera el mismo error. Mamá aún no estaba contenta con dejarme ir sola, pero finalmente cedió.
Ahora en la I-95, finalmente me sentí libre.

HIS REJECTED SECOND CHANCE MATE
"What the f*ck, Zara!" Levi bumped into me and growled behind me.
"Sorry," I mumbled, wide-eyed.
"Is that?" Levi mind-linked, and I nodded my head.
"Zara," my father uttered. "I understand that you are familiar with Alpha Noah."
I slowly nodded my head.
"Great," my father said. "Alpha Noah has also informed me that you are his fated mate."
I gave a nod in response.
"Superb, Alpha Noah has requested your hand."
"Is that so?" I found my voice.
Both my father and Alpha Noah nodded.
"Interesting," I said. "Were you told by Alpha Noah that he rejected me more than a year ago?"

The Luna's Vampire Prince
His hand is cool when it brushes a loose curl from my cheek, but I don’t jerk away from him. I have no idea what’s going on. I don’t understand why I’m here. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. It seems like a lot of powerful people want me—dead or alive. And yet, all I can think about right now is how badly I want this vampire’s hands on my body.
I live in a desolate village on the edge of the Vampire King’s lands. This used to be wolf shifter territory, but now, we are just trying to survive.

Something tells me, once I reach the castle, I’ll be missing my miserable existence in the village.

The Four Mafia Men and Their Prize
“Kiss back” he mumbles, and I feel rough hands all over my body giving me tight squeezes as a warning not to piss them off further. So I give in. I begin to move my mouth and open my lips slightly. Jason wastes no time devouring every inch of my mouth with his tongue. Our lips doing the tango, his dominance winning the race.
We break away, breathing hard. Next, Ben turns my head to face him and does the same thing. His kiss is definitely softer but just as controlling. I moan into his mouth as we continue to exchange saliva. He tugs my bottom lip slightly in his teeth as he pulls away. Kai pulls my hair, so I am looking up, his large frame towering over me. He bends down and claims my lips. He was rough and forceful. Charlie followed and was a mix. My lips feel swollen, my face feels all hot and flushed, and my legs feel like rubber. For some murdering psychotic assholes, damn can they kiss.
Aurora has always worked hard. She just wants to live her life. By chance, she met four mafia men Jason, Charlie, Ben and Kai. They are the ultimate dominants in the office, on the streets, and definitely in the bedroom. They always get what they want and THEY SHARE EVERYTHING.
How will Aurora adjust to having not 1 but 4 powerful men showing her the pleasure she only ever dreamed of? What will happen when a mysterious someone shows interest in Aurora and shakes things up for the notorious mafia men? Will Aurora finally submit and acknowledge her deepest desires or will her innocence be forever ruined?
Violent Little Thing.
“Angel, you have a filthy fucking mouth”, I whispered low into her ear.
“Luciano…” Finally, an expression on her face. A real one she wasn’t hiding from me. It wasn’t fear though. It was lust. My girl likes this. I pulled her down further so she could feel just how much I was liking it too and the most enchanting gasp came from her mouth while her eyes rolled back for a moment.

Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha
"You want me to fuck you, I know it"
"As much as you don't like me, you're my mate and you can't deny it."
He stood up behind me, one hand holding my hip, and leaned down, his breath ragged against my neck, his voice was husky,
"You'll listen to your body... what it wants... and my body... what it needs. Only the pleasure that a small bite can bring."
At the age of 15, I was shocked to hear the ruthless Alpha claim that I was his mate.
To make matters worse, he killed my father, who was trying to protect me. At that time, I successfully ran away from him.
However, when I turned 18, I fell into his trap again.
I hated him and wanted revenge, but the moon goddess had a different plan for me.
I was his mate, and we were fated to be together. No matter the circumstances, my body couldn't resist him.
Strings of Fate
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.
I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.
I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.
Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.
“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.
“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.
