Chapter 1
Chapter One: The Woman He Brought Home Selene’s POV
I had been waiting all day.
I cleaned every room in the house, even the corners no one ever noticed. I brushed my long silver hair twice, then again, just to keep my hands busy. My heart felt full. Nervous, yes. But full. I hadn’t seen him in seven days.
Every time I heard a sound at the door, I rushed to it, only to find nothing. Just the wind. Just silence.
So I returned to the kitchen and checked the stew again.
He loved stew, especially when I added wild mushrooms. I remembered how he used to smile when I served it, how he would kiss my forehead and say, “No one cooks like you, Selene.” So I made it today, just like that.
The table was already set. Two silver plates. Two wine cups. A fresh bottle of moonflower wine. The napkins folded neatly on his side—he liked them that way.
I wanted tonight to be warm. I wanted us to feel close again. He’d been so distant lately. Quiet. Cold. But maybe he was just tired. Maybe the weight of being Alpha was too heavy on him.
I wanted him to come home, eat, laugh, hold me in his arms like he used to.
I wanted to believe everything would be okay again.
I heard the front door creak open.
My heart jumped.
I wiped my hands on my dress and rushed out of the kitchen, already smiling. But then I stopped.
He was standing at the door.
And he was holding another woman’s hand.
Her smile was soft. She was beautiful. Pale hair, big green eyes, a soft voice that used to call me Luna. I knew her.
Mira.
The omega we rescued from the borderlands.
She was the woman I once gave clothes to, food, shelter, even protection when the elders said she was not one of us. I stood by her. I called her sister. She used to say I was her savior.
Now she was holding my husband’s hand.
He didn’t say hello.
He didn’t ask how I was.
He just looked at me and said calmly, like he was reading the weather, “She’s pregnant.” The words slammed into me like a storm.
I couldn’t speak.
I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Not even a whisper.
I looked at him. Then at her. Then back at him.
My fingers trembled. My knees felt weak.
The stew... I had to check the stew.
I turned away from them, walked back into the kitchen, and lifted the lid off the pot. It had burned.
I stood there, staring at the stew. My hands on the edge of the pot. My chest tight. I had spent all day preparing for him.
And he came home with her.
He walked in with the woman I once saved and said she was carrying his child.
I didn’t ask him why. I didn’t ask when. I didn’t ask how he could do this to me. Because part of me already knew.
I walked slowly to the living room and sat down on the edge of the chair. My dress rustled beneath me. The silver one he said made me look like a queen.
He was standing in front of me, saying something, but I couldn’t hear it. The room was quiet, but my mind was loud.
I looked up at him with tears in my eyes.
“I still love you,” I whispered. “Even now.”
He looked surprised. Maybe even confused.
I smiled, broken.
“If you love her... it’s okay. We can all stay together.”
My voice was small. Weak. It didn’t sound like me.
“I just want you to be happy,” I said. “Even if it’s not with me.”
Mira looked uncomfortable. She looked away. Maybe she was ashamed. Maybe not.
He didn’t say anything.
He didn’t tell me to stop.
He didn’t say thank you.
He didn’t say I’m sorry.
I stood up slowly and walked to the window. The sun had started to set. The sky turned orange, then red, like it was bleeding.
Just like I was.
In my chest. In my soul.
Tears dripped down my cheeks. One, then two, then a whole bunch. I didn't wipe them away. I let them flow.
My heart hurt like it had shattered into a thousand silent pieces.
He had once been mine.
But now... he was someone else's.
I whirled around and faced him once more.
"You know," I breathed, "my father trusted you."
He looked down at the floor.
"My father gave you his blessing when no one else would. He saw something in you. When the elders said you were too weak to be Alpha, I stood up for you. I lost my birthright for you. I gave you my name. My title. My everything."
I placed a hand over my chest.
"I loved you so much that I gave you pieces of myself I'll never get back."
I smiled, kind of. It sounded hollow.
"Maybe that was my mistake."
I looked at Mira again. She didn't even look my way.
"You were nothing when I picked you up," I breathed. "Just a broken wolf with nowhere to turn. But I believed in you. I fought for you.".
"I slept through the night nursing your wounds when you came back from raids. I stood by your side with every council gathering. I let them call me weak, only so that you would not feel inferior."
I closed my eyes. "But I was not weak."
When I opened them once more, they were filled with tears. "I was in love."
He still never said anything.
And maybe that hurt the most.
Because it meant that none of it mattered.
Not the love. Not the memories. Not the promises. He chose her.
And I was merely left behind.

COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder.

His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.

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.
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."
