Unpredictions are waiting for you everywhere

It's a school morning again, ugh I hate going to school. It is a stupid place where everywhere everyone is throwing tantrums. It's already seven in the morning and school is going to start in one hour from now on. I've to get ready.
"Fuck! fuck! fuck!"
"Amy, what are you saying?" Mom asked from the kitchen.
"Oh! Mom, I'm just pretending to be a duck that's why I said Quack! quack! quack!"
Amanda, you're so dead dear I thought to myself.
"And why that so? Are you pretending to be a duck? Anyways you're getting late for your school. Now hurry up."
I quickly ran to the washroom to shower. The shortest shower in the history of showers. Then, I ran towards the mirror. I'm not the hot girl with a perfect body and curves but I'm not that bad. I've got blue eyes and brown hair. In short, I'm a brunette. One thing I'm happy about is my leniency to the height which others find hard to digest.
Uh-huh, I should stop thinking! I slapped myself. I'm getting late and what I'm doing is starting myself enough to get accepted.
Now time to get dressed, show some power to the world, Amanda.
Yes. Some power which I hardly have. I chose simple clothes for my nerd look. A pair of pants and a white plain shirt.
I've to take the bus every day and I hate it but it's only for two months then I'll purchase my new car. I'm saving for it for almost one year.
Suddenly I heard the horn from behind me, where he was in his BMW - Cole, the playboy of our school.
"Watch it nerd!" he yelled.
I showed him my middle finger. Whoever he is but I don't tolerate disrespect.
And then he vanished. Like he never came.
Finally, the bus came. I reached school almost at eight when it is about to start. Thank god!
Vanessa was waiting for me at the school gate. Vess is my friend since kindergarten. She's my only friend at school.
"Hey, Vess!" I said warmly.
"Where were you all the time? I'm standing here for almost half an hour!" As always she was angry about me being late.
"Oh oh sorry Vess baby! Now hurry up, first class is about to start." I tried to calm her down.
"Amanda"
"Here!"
"Cole"
"Here!" He said with a wink.
Oh, what the hell? First of all his name is after mine and second, he winked at our teacher to which she replied with a smile.
I have nothing to do with him. However, He always glances at me and tries to chuckle at me which made my blood boil whenever his name comes after me.
"Hah! Now here come flirting," I whispered, under my breath with frustration.
"Amanda, is there any problem?" Ms Thompson asked.
"Oh no, absolutely not Miss," I replied with a fake smile.
"Then pay attention, you're a very bright student."
"Uh thank you."
That stupid Cole laughed again.
I mentally slapped myself. Concentrate, Amy. You're the nerd here. Don't get bothered by that stupid Cole.
We were walking in the hallway, during our free period. Until then we heard whispers.
"Hey guess, who is Cole's new girl?" I and Vess heard some girls gossiping around.
Vess insisted to listen more. So, I agreed with her.
"She is Veronica, the fashionist Veronica."
"Oh! that bitch! She is the most heartless person, Amy. I'm telling you."
"Uh, whatever! She is the bitch and he is the player, the perfect match."I uttered.
Vess laughs. "What is a player?", She asked with a smirk and I hate that smirk. She is thinking something. "well, It is the combination of Playboy and jerk, Vanessa."
"You know what?"
"What? "
"I'm thinking that my Amy has a crush.''
I mentally slapped myself.
"Oh? And who's the unlucky one you're talking about?"
"Cole darling. Now don't act dumb!"
Why? God! Why on earth is she my friend?
"Vess! Why on earth will you think that I like that boy! We have nothing in common! "
"Oh leave it. At least for one time for me, check him out please." She asked with her flattering smile.
"Uh ok! But you've to promise that you will never say he's my crush again, ok?"
That was the only way to stop her.
"Deal," she said with a smirk.
"Deal it is then," I uttered.
Where are those stupid players? I'm searching for him everywhere. Finally, I found him outside the cafeteria smooching Veronica.
"Wtf! I'm not going to check him out while he's smooching that girl." I said to Vess.
"No no no, the deal is a deal. Check him out now!"
"Ok," Today is just not your day Amy. Calm yourself down and just check him out.
I started eyeing him from head to toe. Uh well, he has a built body with broad shoulders. Holy! He has freaking eight packs. He has brown eyes and brown hair as well.
And his height looks like almost 6"3. Omg he's so tall. While I was checking him out, he quickly glanced at me with a smirk.
"Now don't you think he's hot, Amy?"
"Shit."
She giggled. "I know he's so damn hot but you've to be patient Amy," she said playfully.
"Shhhhh! I think, he caught me checking him out." I'm totally worried now.
"Amy now you're assuming. I don't think so," she assured me.
"Uh ok let's go to the class Vess, we're getting late." We started walking towards our next class algebra. She doesn't like the subject but she has to spare it with me as always. Perhaps, I did a mistake looking at him which I won't repeat.
"So, how was he?" Vess asked.
"Who?"
"Cole Maxwell." She whispers.
"Oh well he is just another guy in this school and we have one thing that is common between us."
"And what is that?"
"We both have brown hair. Now come on, we're getting late."
"So class here is the question, you've five minutes to solve this." Mr Federer, our maths teacher, said.
Well I know how to solve this question, it is very easy. I easily solved it.
"Uh Mr Federer, I solved it."
"Very good Amanda.", he said proudly.
"Now anyone else who doesn't know how to solve this?", he asked the class just to make sure that nobody answers.
"Yes, Mr Federer!" At the back, someone yelled. And I think I know who he is.
"What it is Cole? You didn't get it?"
"That why on earth are we doing this?" he yelled.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing I think I get it that Maths sucks, so do you, Mr Federer.", he replied. I could sense a cautious environment around me.
Why do we have to ruin every class?
"Get Out! Now!!!!"
It will be good if he stays away from here.
"Bravo!", he cheered while laughing and got out of the class.
As the rest of the day passed, all classes were finished. Vess has her car. She was waiting for me outside the school to pick me up when we were heading toward McDonald's.
"So Amy, what do you think about Friday's party?", She asked.
"Uh What? I can't go I've some projects to complete, Besides mom won't allow so I can't go.''
"Well, I've got an idea." My blonde friend smiled, not just a smile it was a dangerous smile meaning, she is thinking something evil.
"OH NO NO NO! Don't ever think about it, Vess."
"Oh yes yes yes! And why not you're my BFF forever." And there you go! it happened again.
"But whose party is it? And why are we invited?" I don't know why I'm invited. Don't get me wrong but I'm not the one with whom you can go to the party. I'm plain, simple and boring except for my intelligence but not everyone like it. But Vess, she's quite different from me. She is not a nerd. She's a badass type and that's the thing I like about her so much.
"Dylan invited us.", she replied with a cheeky grin and I know something was up with her.
"But he is Cole's best buddy and you know that I don't like that play jerk."
"But Dylan is not like him he's different.", she whispered.
"How can you say that?", I demanded.
"Because he invited us. Now don't be dramatic and you are coming with me."
"Nerds are not supposed to go to parties Vess because they have much more important things to do!"
"Oh shut up! You're going to enjoy and so am I and no one will know who you are.", she assured me.
"Are you sure?" I uttered.
If my identity does not reveal then I may think about it.
"Absolutely!"
"Ok then. What will I do without you, you're my BFF after all." and then she hugged me.
"Deal it is then we're going to party."
"On Friday.", I added.

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.

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.

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.

Mating Moon
Reborn and Unleashed: The Boss Lady Takes No Prisoners

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.
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
Fated to the Enemy: The Alpha's Witch Bride
My touch tames his inner beast.
… Until I find another woman’s bite mark on his neck.
As a holy witch, I shouldn't be sneaking out for Zuri—a cursed shape-shifter from a rival clan.
But our forbidden heat is intoxicating.
When his monstrous Primal breaks free, slaughtering everything in its path, even his fiercest warriors cower.
I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.
He sneaks into the woods for me. We share a deep, hungry kiss under the moonlight.
But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
Is a fresh, undeniable bite mark.
