Chapter 1
CJ
Is the week of my 18th birthday. I am super excited, due to my spirit animal awakes from his slumber. Is the start of my manhood. Also, the huge party my parents are throwing for me. We are not rich but my father, BETA Angel Skylar, BETA to the Alpha, comes with some perks here in Stone Valley Pack in Florida. Yes, we are wolves.
Today is 3 days before my birthday on Saturday. I had just been woken up by my older brother Alex who jumps on me as he says “Yo, bro let’s go.” I grunt and jump up. “Why must you do that!” “Because is fun and you’re late getting up.” He laughs as he walks out of my room. He is 20 years old. He trains the advance warriors. He is impressive but annoying.
I get up and get ready for school. I put on my jeans with a tank top and my football jersey over it. I chose not to brush my curly hair and put on my favorite green hat, along with my green sneakers. I grabbed my duffle bag and headed to the kitchen where my whole family was already.
Walking in the kitchen is the best smell ever. My mom, BETA Sheera Skylar, BETA to the Luna, is the best cook. There is no one that has tried her cooking that has not fallen in love with it. This morning she made French toast, bacon, and scramble eggs. I served myself a plate and went in on my plate. “Slow down mijo. Is not going to disappear” my mom tells me. Yes, I’m Hispanic on my mom side. She came from a pack called Bora Red Pack in Puerto Rico.
After I finished breakfast, I grabbed my stuff and took off with Alex to school. He gives me rides since the training grounds are 2 minutes from the school. I arrived and head straight to my locker where my friends, Jace, AJ, and Mike are at. We’ve all been best friends since birth. All our families work in the Pack House. Jace is the son of Gamma Rick Pawster, AJ is the son of Yazmin Longsteed, Maiden to the Luna, and Mike is son of Turner and Mila Rockstead, Captain Warriors.
“What up, bro?” AJ greets me. “Sup guys? Are you guys ready for Saturday? Because I can’t wait.” I say enthusiastic. They all respond at once “You know it!!” We all headed to class after a bit of chatting. Lunch time comes around and I meet the guys at our usual table. I got there first and settled myself. I looked to the side to see if the guys were coming, when I spot this beautiful ginger head. Her hair was so orange. Almost like fire and she had a set of green eyes. As I was admiring her the guys arrived at the table and snapped me out of my trance. When I looked back again, she was gone. I decided to just go with my day. After school we had practice. After practice we hopped in Jace’s truck and headed to the mall for some grub and to pick new outfits for the party. After we all finished, we headed to my house. Guys love coming over because of my mom’s cooking.
When we entered the house, my mom had already left the table ready for us to eat. It became a routine of ours after practice. Tonight’s dinner is rice, beans, and Pernil. My mom always cooks our favorite foods during the week of our birthdays. We dug in until we couldn’t eat any more. After we finished the guys headed home and I went to take a shower.
Once I was alone in my room, I started thinking about the ginger girl. I don’t know why I started thinking about her. I put a movie on and went to sleep. The next day I got up on time and chose to brush my hair and let my curls hang. I decided to wear black jeans, a green graphic t-shirt, and my timberlands. Jace picked me up today with the guys and we headed to school.
I noticed while walking around that I was looking for her. I don’t understand why I am feeling this way. I shake my head and continue to talk with the guys. When lunch came around, I hoped to see her again. When I arrive at the table, Stacy is sitting there. Stacy is a petit blonde girl that has been trying to get with one of us but has failed miserably. I rolled my eyes when she said “Hi CJ” while waving her fingers.
I waved and sat opposite Stacy. She batts her eyelashes at me, while trying to act cute. I just eat my food and ignore her. I went to take another bite of my pizza when I spotted her again. Ginger girl. I keep calling her ginger girl, but I have no idea who she is. I’ve never seen her before. At that moment, the guys arrive and break me out of my thoughts.
Again, when I look back, she is gone. I never get a full look at her or her face. All I know is her eyes and her hair. When I get back to what’s happening in front of me, Stacy is still there trying to get attention. I decided to finish my food and go for a walk. I decided to walk towards the football field when I spotted her lying in the middle of the field. I approached her slowly trying to think of what to say to her.
As I approached, she sat up and looked my way. I stopped and slightly waved at her. She lifted an eyebrow as she locked her eyes with mine.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

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.

Badass in Disguise
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.
"OUT!" I snarled with enough force that both women backed toward the door.
Once feared by Shadow Organization that drugged me to replicate my abilities into a more controllable version, I had escaped my restraints and detonated their entire facility, ready to die alongside my captors.
Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."
The bitter truth? I've been reborn into the body of an overweight, weak, and supposedly dim-witted high school girl. Her life is filled with bullies and tormentors who've made her existence miserable.

The mafia princess return
I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
