Chapter 1
“How was work, babe?” asked Keith as Gretchen came through the door and dropped her keys on the table in the hall. She was dressed up today in her fitted black business suit, pearls and topknot. There was an emergency meeting with the surrounding packs and she always liked to look professional around the other leaders.
“They killed Billy and a new witch took over at the Order in Savanna. He’s killing off people left and right trying to get rid of anyone who’s not a full blood witch. That’s just fucking crazy. Those assholes don’t even see how hypocritical they’re being. Unless you’re born in the realm, there’s always going to be blood mixing with humans, Lycans or Vampyres. Dad’s hiring more security just to be safe, they should be here in the morning,” said Gretchen as she sat beside Keith on the brown leather couch and took off her heels.
“Exciting meeting then?” asked Keith sarcastically.
Gretchen smirked and said, “Yes, very. Did you send the check to the caterer?”
“Signed, sealed and delivered,” he said as he put his arm around Gretchen.
“Great, one less thing to worry about. Before you know it, I’ll be Mrs. Gretchen Jackson and we’ll be on our way to Cancun for our honeymoon,” said Gretchen as she leaned back into the couch beside Keith.
Gretchen scratched the dark stubble under Keith's chin and said, “By the way, I don’t want you going out without security, so just hang tight in the morning til the new guys get here. I can't let my handsome human get scuffed up.”
“I can’t fucking wait til the weddings over. It’ll be nice to be able to show my face around the pack without them giving me those shitty looks,” said Keith.
“I know it’s not easy, I was hoping everyone would come around to me marrying a human, but I honestly don’t give a shit anymore. When I take over after the wedding, no one will say anything to you ever again. I promise you,” she said.
“Hey, by the way, I left dinner in the oven,” Keith said as he flipped through the channels.
“I know, I could smell it a mile away. Thank God I'm marrying a chef or else I'd starve to death,” said Gretchen. “I appreciate you staying here in this shitty little apartment, Keith. I just wanted to spruce up the house before we moved in. All those wolves running in and out over the years really messed up the floors and carpet. The painters finished up today and the new appliances came, you should see it. That old farmhouse has never looked so good.”
“I can’t wait, babe,” he said. “Now go eat so we can go to bed. I’m exhausted.”
As Gretchen combed out her wet curly golden brown hair after her shower, Keith got under the covers and turned on the television.
“So what are we watching tonight babe?” asked Keith.
Gretchen spit her toothpaste in the sink then said, “How about something scary?”
“You seriously think that’s a good idea? Your nightmare game has been strong the past couple of nights,” said Keith as he scrolled through the selections.
Gretchen walked out of the bathroom and climbed in bed beside Keith then said, “It’s so weird. I have this recurring dream about being kidnapped by some man wearing a cloak. I keep trying to run away from him and the harder I try to get away, the closer he gets. No matter how much I fight or bite or growl, he just won’t fucking leave me alone.”
Keith kissed Gretchen's forehead then clicked ok on the remote. As the intro came across the screen, Keith said, “Yeah, I know, I hear you screaming out his name. Oh Damien! Oh Damien!” Keith joked.
“It’s not funny,” Gretchen said as she slapped Keith’s arm. “They’re terrifying. I keep trying to run home and he keeps appearing in front of me. I can’t shake him no matter how hard I try. I think he wants to kill me,” she said as she climbed on top of Keith and ran her fingers over his shaved head.
Keith grabbed Gretchen's ass cheeks in his hands and started moving her hips against his. “I think he wants to fuck you Gretchen. I actually can’t say I blame him. I’ve been thinking about it all day myself.”
“Is that so? Well, I guess ole Damien will have to wait his turn tonight then,” said Gretchen as she pulled off her nightgown and threw it to the floor.
“Damn, Gretch, no panties. What a naughty little witch you are!” said Keith as he ran his hands up her chest and lightly squeezed her breasts.
“Not tonight, baby. The full moon is out and I'm just your dirty little Lycan bitch tonight,” she said as she rubbed her cunt against his boxers.
Keith blew out through his mouth and said, “Does that make me little red riding hood?”
“No baby, I’ll be the one doing the riding tonight,” said Gretchen as she crawled slowly down Keith’s body and pulled off his boxers with her teeth.
After a quick round of sex, Gretchen fell asleep in Keith’s arms. As her mind drifted off into the world of dreams, Gretchen walked down a dirt path through an ancient forest.
All of a sudden, two giant black wolves blocked her path. She shifted and fought the wolves off then ran down the dirt path away from her attackers only to have the hooded man approach her with his hands up saying, “Gretchen, wake up now.”
Gretchen sprinted towards the man then quickly darted around him and ran as fast as she could through the forest. No matter how fast or far she went, the cloaked figure appeared in front of her and said, “Wake up.”
As she came to the ruins of an ancient building, Gretchen ran inside for cover and hid behind a stone pillar. While she panted for air, she was suddenly grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground. When Gretchen looked up, the man stood over her and said, “Wake up Gretchen, they’re coming.” Then, he grabbed her by her throat and said, “Wake up, now.”
Gretchen's eyes snapped open as the door to Keith's bedroom was kicked in. Before she had a chance to react, she was placed under an immobilization spell. Unable to move or speak, one of the invaders grabbed Gretchen by her hair and dragged her from bed then threw her to the floor and lifted her head so she could get a proper view.
Gretchen's eyes widened in horror as five attackers drew knives and surrounded Keith as he lay incapacitated in bed. She kept trying to reach her wolf, but the spell had put that part of Gretchen to sleep. She cried out in her mind to her mother and father. She shared a psychic connection to her parents and the other members of her pack, but Gretchen was staying at Keith’s apartment on the edge of town, miles from the nearest soldier and her family. They'd never be able to reach the apartment in time.
The tallest among the intruders knelt down beside Gretchen and said, “Keep your fucking eyes open you half blood bitch. You’re not going to want to miss this.”

The Shattered Moon King
Lena is a survivor. For years, she has weathered the harsh, post-apocalyptic landscape by following one rule: trust no one. But when she finds an amnesiac man near death in the wilderness—a man with kind eyes and a strength that is anything but human—she makes a choice that will unravel her solitary existence.
She calls him Cain, but the shattered-moon tattoo on his back brands him as Kaelen, the long-dead Alpha of the powerful Sky-Fall pack. His return triggers a brutal civil war with the usurper who stole his throne and his fated mate. Hunted by Lycan assassins and a fanatical human commander desperate for the secrets locked in Lena's own past, their only hope lies in embracing the very power Kaelen can't remember and Lena has always feared.
As they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just the pack, but the future of every living thing, Kaelen must fight for a kingdom he doesn't know and Lena must confront a legacy she tried to bury. In a world of broken thrones and fated bonds, they will discover that the greatest choice is not between love and duty, but between who you are told you must be, and who you choose to become.
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."
At the tender age of eleven, JoJo Wyatt was forced to grow up far sooner than she should have. Born to a cruel father and a weak mother, she quickly realized she had to become the breadwinner for herself and her sister. Nothing else mattered to her, not even the hottest men. In fact, she despised them. After one horrific night, she swore never to have any contact with the male species again. That was, until she started working for him as his stripper.
Meanwhile, Alpha Lake Rush, thirty, was the most feared Alpha in the country. Burdened by his own share of life's struggles, he had learned only to be cruel and reckless, rejecting not one but two mates. But what happens when he discovers yet another mate, and she turns out to be his stripper?
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
