Introduction
Mute and deeply traumatized, she escapes a hidden underground facility on a remote island where human “Hunters” experimented on her mind, turning her into Subject 3—a psychic weapon stripped of choice and voice. When the Hunters begin their relentless pursuit to reclaim her, led by the cold and meticulous Dr. Hale, Kiera flees into the surrounding wilderness, her fear threatening to unleash powers she barely understands.
Her flight brings her into the territory of a bear‑shifter clan, where she encounters Ronan, their Alpha. Fierce, grounded, and fiercely protective, Ronan unexpectedly connects to Kiera through a telepathic bond that cuts through her terror and isolation. Though the connection frightens them both, it becomes Kiera’s only lifeline as the Hunters close in and the island itself begins to fracture under the weight of her uncontrolled abilities.
As attacks escalate into a brutal siege, the truth of Kiera’s past begins to surface. Her silence was not an accident—it was engineered. Her panic responses were designed. And buried within her mind is a weaponized trigger meant to reactivate her conditioning and erase what little sense of self she has reclaimed. Dr. Hale knows her real name, knows how to break her—and believes she will always belong to him.
Hunted through abandoned laboratories and nightmare corridors filled with the remnants of failed experiments, Kiera must confront her past.
Ronan, defying both his enemies and his own clan, vows to protect her not as a weapon, but as a person—no matter the cost.
The Bear's Revenge is a dark, emotionally driven paranormal thriller about survival, trauma, and reclaiming. It explores what it means to be heard after being silenced—and the strength it takes to choose yourself when the past refuses to let go.
Chapter 1
The forest was too quiet.
Kiera ran anyway.
Her bare feet hit the damp soil in uneven, desperate strides, sending up soft sprays of earth. Her lungs burned. Her legs shook. Branches snapped beneath her weight—or maybe under someone else’s. The shadows behind her stretched too long, as if reaching for her. As if they had hands.
Her breath came in silent gasps. She hadn’t made a sound in years, not since the day they stole her voice. But her mind screamed.
Go. Go. GO.
Tall pines blurred around her. The twilight sky had turned the island into a dim watercolour of blue and ash. Every time she dared glance back, she expected to see white masks. Needles. Chains. Cold metal.
Her heart pounded so hard she felt it in her teeth.
She shouldn’t have left her shelter. She shouldn’t have tried to gather water at dusk—she knew better. Night belonged to memories on this island. Night belonged to the wrong things.
Her foot caught a root. She stumbled, caught herself, and kept running.
They're here. I know they’re here. I feel them.
No answer came from the trees. Only the quiet. The awful, heavy quiet.
Then—
A twig snapped to her right.
Kiera froze.
Her breath stopped. Her pulse roared in her ears like surf. She crouched low, fingers splayed against moss as she scanned the trees.
Nothing.
No lights.
No footsteps.
No mask glinting in the dark.
But something was there. She could feel it—a presence heavy enough to press air from her lungs. A predator’s weight. Like the forest itself was holding its breath, waiting.
Kiera’s stomach tightened.
Not them… something else.
The underbrush rustled behind her.
She didn’t think—she bolted. Again. Branches whipped at her arms, stinging her skin. A branch snagged her sleeve and tore it clean off. Pain flared, but she ignored it.
The forest floor sloped downward, pulling her faster. Her legs didn’t keep up.
She pitched forward.
The world spun—sky, trees, dirt—
She hit the ground hard.
For a moment, she couldn’t move. Her vision blurred. Her ears rang. The world dimmed to the rhythm of her heartbeat.
Then she felt it.
Warm breath on the back of her neck.
Her mind screamed so loudly it felt like it echoed across the entire island.
“DON’T TOUCH ME.”
The forest answered with silence.
Slowly—slowly—she rolled onto her back.
And froze.
A massive shape towered over her, blocking out the twilight. Not human. Not even close. Thick, dark fur. Shoulders the size of boulders. A head shaped like an animal, but intelligent—too intelligent.
A bear.
A bear that was much too big. Much too still. Much too focused on her.
Its eyes glowed faintly gold, reflecting the last scraps of daylight. Not wild in the way she remembered from glimpses of nature documentaries. Wild in a different way—aware, calculating.
It studied her.
Kiera couldn’t breathe.
She pressed backward on her elbows, dirt digging under her nails. The bear did not advance. But its gaze followed her, unblinking.
Then a second presence flickered at the edge of her senses.
Not sound.
Not movement.
Not breath.
A mind.
Hers was a storm—fear, panic, static—and it collided with something calm, deep, grounded. Like a mountain, silence pressed against the roar in her head.
Then—
A voice.
A male voice. Deep, steady, not spoken aloud.
“You’re hurt.”
Kiera choked on a silent gasp.
Her head whipped left and right, searching for the source, but the forest held no one. No man. Just the bear.
The voice came again.
“I won’t harm you.”
She shook her head violently, scrambling backward.
“No. No. No.”
This couldn’t be real.
Voices didn’t come from nowhere. Voices belonged to them. The white masks. The dark rooms. The needles.
Her breath fractured.
Images flashed behind her eyes—strapped tables, glowing lights, her own reflection with wires on her skull.
The bear lowered itself, massive frame dropping to a crouch. It tilted its head, like it was trying to look smaller. Gentler. Less like a creature that could crush her with a single paw.
The voice softened.
“Breathe. You're safe.”
“Safe.”
The word made her stomach turn.
Her thoughts lashed out before she could stop them:
“Stay away from me!”
The bear jerked slightly.
The voice went silent.
Kiera scrambled to her feet and staggered backward. Her limbs trembled, threatening to collapse under her. She made it three steps before her legs buckled.
The world spun again.
Her hands hit the ground, and everything blurred—trees, sky, the huge shadow that moved toward her.
Her heartbeat roared in her ears like thunder.
Then—
Large, heavy footsteps approached from behind the bear.
Another figure emerged from the darkness between the trees.
Not furred. Not an animal. Tall. Broad-shouldered. Human-shaped in the worst way—human figures meant danger, needles, pain—
But this one—
His eyes glowed the same gold as the bear’s.
He stepped into the open, stopping only a few paces away. His presence hit her like a tidal wave—strong, commanding, steady.
Alpha.
She didn’t know how she knew the word.
She just knew.
He looked at her with an expression that should have been impossible on a man built like he was—soft, cautious… concerned.
Then his voice filled her mind.
“You should not be alone out here.”
Kiera’s scream tore through her mind so violently that birds exploded from the treetops.
“GET OUT OF MY HEAD!”
The Alpha winced—but didn’t back away.
He didn’t flinch from her fear.
He didn’t turn from her panic.
Instead, he took one step closer—
And the ground shook beneath them.
Not from her panic.
Not from the bears.
From something else.
Something was moving through the trees behind her.
Something hunting.
The Alpha’s eyes snapped upward, sharp and alert. The bear beside him growled, low and rumbling.
The Alpha’s voice hit her mind like an order wrapped in velvet.
“Behind you. Run—now.”
Kiera turned—
And saw a pair of glowing white lights between the trees.
Not an animal.
Not a bear.
Headlamps.
Hunters.
Her blood froze.
She stumbled backward, her knees giving out.
The Alpha lunged toward her—
But not fast enough.
Not fast enough at all.
A tranquilizer dart hissed through the air—
straight toward her throat.

“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.

I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
To protect what’s mine
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
