I got lucky in that department. most girls would kill to have such smooth and vibrant skin I've never broken out in teen ackne or even gotten sick its weird but I love that about myself I have a strong and healthy body for real. "Sapphire your going to be late love 10 minutes till the detective is here," she yelled from the bottom of the stairs. I'm coming momma I'm getting dressed," I hurriedly said as I throw on my black ripped jeans,white cami and leather jacket. Running down the stairs just as theres a knock on the door, my heart races I've got so much energy and I don't know how to explain but Feel if as I can run a mile and still keep running. Momma answers the door and she brings them in the livingroom where I'm sitting waiting eagerly for them."Hello Ms. Stone I'm Alex and this is my partner Max we have been waiting to meet you. How are you, Happy Birthday as well seems we get to gather for some special news on a great blessed day," Alex explains. "Thank you and yes I am so ready I am guessing this is great news I just have a great fealing,'' I signed. As they sit Alex pulls out a folder and smiles as he hands it over to me.

I know that its not a lot but you have a big start you have a decison to make. we found the small town where your family is from and if your wanting we can set something up to take you or," he stops mid air as I cut him off. ''NO. I'm sorry actually id like to drive there myself and go this far by myself if thats possible.

''Sapph whatever you wanna do I support you no matter what. I will always be your mom no matther what you know that," She smiles through tears. I know alot of people probably wonder why not leave my past behind me but for some reason I know this is what I am supposed to do my gut is telling me yess and it's never wrong.

I should hate Kane Alexander, but the more time I spend with him, the more I long for him in ways I cannot understand. I am not here to be his lover, though. I am here to be his feeder. But even before his lips graze my skin the first time, I know I would give myself to him in every way imaginable if only he should ask.

Dangerous Love with the Mafia
Driven out by her adoptive mother and sexually harassed by her boss, she stumbles into a seedy bar, desperate to drown her sorrows. There she meets Alex: sharp, devastatingly handsome, and impossibly charming.
What starts as a wild one-night stand blossoms into a tender, almost surreal romance—art galleries, riverside walks, and whispered promises that feel too perfect to be real. But when Alex vanishes without a word after a morning of gentle intimacy, Sarah is left with a hollow ache and a creeping doubt.
Their encounter was no accident. Behind Alex's blue eyes and skilled touch lies a darkness far deeper than she ever imagined—and the love that burned so bright may come with a price that could destroy her.

The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."
