Beatrice Putnam · Ongoing · 290.1k Words
Introduction
Vanessa, the mute runt of a cursed litter, has only ever known cruelty and abuse. Her voice stolen by a witch’s spell, her freedom crushed by a brutal father, she’s been promised to a monster she doesn’t want. But fate intervenes when she’s left for dead—bleeding, broken, and bound—only to be rescued by Alpha Alfred of the Shadow Pack.
Alfred, fighting against a generational curse that has doomed his brothers to remain wolves forever, never expected his fated mate to be a fragile girl on the brink of death. But the moment he breathes in her scent, everything changes.
Together, they must confront the past, survive betrayal, and uncover the true key to breaking the curses that bind them. Will their bond be strong enough to save them both?
Chapter 1
Vanessa POV
It was the night of my eighteenth birthday. I was supposed to shift.
" Are you ready for your first shift?"
I nodded my head yes. I am mute. I cannot talk. I'm the runt of the litter of the Luna and Alpha. The Alpha is my father. My mother is the Luna of the Swamp Lands Pack. When they were born, each of them was cursed. I was cursed to be mute until I found my true mate. But I was not what people called beautiful, nor was I ugly. The oldest of us, my sister Regina, was cursed with beauty. She could turn heads all day long. My sister Betty was cursed to be pious. We each needed to find our true mates if we wanted the curse to be broken.
I was constantly beaten and forced to perform sexual acts with my mouth. My father wanted to preserve my virginity until I was mated off to the highest bidder. That was the Alpha of the Winterlands pack. He was young, but he also had a temper. He did not want to wait until I turned eighteen. He tried to take me when I was twelve, but my father would not allow it. They had a heated argument, but that was it. I had no idea what was so special about me.
I'm treated worse than slaves.
" Vanessa, I need your mouth."
That was the voice of Thomas. He is the strongest warrior and the meanest. Regina immediately left the room. I tried to go, and he grabbed me by the hair and started to drag me out to the shed. I kicked and fought him to the best of my ability. But it was no use. I couldn't scream for help. He opened the door and threw me on the floor. He dropped his pants, and I could see that his cock was hard. I backed into a corner because I think when he threw me, he broke my wrist. I landed on it. It was hurting so badly that I was in tears.
" Poor pathetic wench."
He started laughing at me, and I began to cry harder. He then grabbed my hair and forced my head up, and then proceeded to fuck my mouth.
" If you bite me, you will get beaten severely."
He continued to thrust it into my mouth, and I gagged every time and threw up what little food I had in my stomach.
" I wish I could fuck your pussy."
Just as he said that he climaxed; I gagged on it and spit it out. He then walked out of the shed. He was laughing. I crawled back to the corner that I was trying to hide in the first place. I sat in that corner and cried. Tonight was a ball, and I could not attend, which was fine. Just as I was gaining my composure, my father stormed in.
" You whore."
" Thomas told me that you fucked him."
I started to shake my head frantically. He slapped me so hard that my ear began to ring. He grabbed me by the hair and started to drag me out into the woods. I wanted to shift right then and there, but I did not. I have not felt my wolf. I had dreamed of a beautiful white wolf with emerald eyes, but that was it. I had overheard my sister say that she is your wolf when you start to dream about a wolf. I wish that were the case. But it was not.
My father dragged me to a tree and tied my hands around it. Suppose I could have screamed when he pulled on my injured wrist to tie it around. He tied the rest of my body to the try. I could feel my stomach pressed against it. He then tore the back of my dress. I knew what that meant. He was going to whip me. He has done it before. I braced for the impact of the whip. The first strike hit hard. It knocked the wind out of me. It also shoved whatever branch was sticking out into my stomach. I was bleeding from that wound already. He usually gives ten strikes, unties me, and lets me go. But tonight, he had all his force behind the swings. I lost track after five strikes. I could feel the hot blood running down my back and pooling around me.
He kept hitting me with each strike. I could feel my back being torn open. Everything started to go dark. I knew he was trying to kill me because he thought that I had given my virginity away. I wish I could speak. I was cursed with not talking. I started to feel myself dying. Then, out of nowhere, there was a soft voice.
" Vanessa"
" Vanessa"
" Who's there? Are you the moon goddess?"
" Yes, I am."
" Your wolf will protect you."
" My wolf."
"Wait, I'm talking."
I knew that this was not real. I can't talk.
" Vanessa, stay with me."
This was a different voice. It sounded like my sister Regina. But I knew it was not because when she tried to help me before, my father beat her. After that, she stayed out of it. She has already shifted. She shifted when she was sixteen. Sheena is the second oldest and is Daddy's favorite. He spoiled her. She would always get me in trouble and beaten. Betty was the third oldest. She was Mom's favorite. They purposely starved me, hoping I would die. Most runts, if there was a litter, were forced into slavery, and then they would die. Some of the pack would kill them.
My father, as the Alpha of the pack, showed me when I was born, and then when I was old enough to understand what they wanted me to do, I was forced into slavery. But he was embarrassed because of me. My parents would pretend I did not exist. Then, when the Alpha of The Winterland Pack saw me, he decided he wanted to take me as his chosen mate. So, my father started to feed me a little more. I believe he was going to take me and kill me. Plus, he was ugly.
" Who are you?"
"I'm Sasha."
"I'm your wolf."
" Why haven't I shifted,"
" I will explain everything to you."
Then she was gone. I was still tied to the tree, and I could feel myself getting weaker. I knew I had a wolf. But why haven't I shifted? I was going to die. Which I truthfully welcomed. I did not want to live anymore. I could faintly hear howling in the distance. Then I felt my hands feel to my sides. The creatures that come and get your soul are coming for me. But then I felt myself being picked up. I was so weak that the only thing I could do was lay my head against his chest.
" There is no chance Im going to hurt you baby."
Wait, baby. Who would call me baby? Then I passed out completely. The next thing I could remember was bright lights and my clothes being cut off. I could faintly hear stuff like she was not going to make it. If she makes it to Alpha, she will have a long recovery. It is going to take a miracle to save her. Then, I could not hear anything else. I felt people pulling on me, and I could feel needles being put in my arms. Then again, I could not hear anything the next time I came around. There were machines hooked to me. Things are coming out of my arms. My injured wrist is in a cast.

Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.
When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...

At least, she doesn't think she does.
When her stories attract the attention of billionaire Alpha Cassian Blackmoor, Iris is pulled into a hidden world of werewolves, secrets, and deadly conspiracies.
Cassian believes she may be connected to a mystery that has claimed the lives of powerful Alphas for years.

Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried.

Oops. My Boss Was Seventeen

My boyfriend skipped our anniversary for her—the girl who called me a whore.
He left me walking home in the dark. When my apartment caught fire, he ignored my calls.
But his uncle showed up.
The one with the scarred knuckles and the cop badge. The one who looked at me like he wanted to burn the world down for me—or maybe burn me down instead.

He's dangerous. He's forbidden. He's everything I shouldn't want.
Is he saving me... or does he just want to own me?
Some fires don't just burn. They consume.

But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.

I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother

I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**

When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
