"Sebastian," I warned, but my voice came out breathy, my thighs falling open despite my best inte...

After months of being bullied at school, things got even worse—the bullies said they wanted to come to my house.
Wanted to see what kind of family a "dog" like me came from.

Because my dad is a serial killer. My mom is a twisted murderer. And my brother is a full-blown psychopath.
If they come to my house, they will die.

At his funeral, my ex-husband barged in, pointed at our son’s headstone, and accused me of doing anything for attention—even putting on a show like this.
He told me to get lost, to stay far away from the woman he really loves.

I took my son’s ashes and disappeared into the endless sea.
But ...

My mother stared at my body, fused to the sofa, and waited forty minutes before calling 911.
She cheerfully told my father the news, deciding they should celebrate with a nice dinner.
Of course.
After all, they could finally be rid of the burden I’d become—no more tormenting me, no more keeping me locked away.
They could go back to being the respectable parents everyone thought they were.
But—

“Who is that?” I asked, pointing weakly at the man crying in the corner.

The doctor looked at me with pity in his eyes.
“That is Kaden,” he whispered gently. “He is the Alpha… and the father of your baby.”

I had woken up in a cold hospital bed, my body bruised and broken, with no memory of my past. Everything felt like a nightmare I couldn’t escape.

Yet this powe...

And I, Aurelia Fairmont, the rebellious heiress, was his dirty little secret.

Until she came back.

"A mate, you say? I didn't even know you were alive until this moment." Calix said coldly.

"What can you do? The fact is that the moon goddess destined us together. You're mine," Ruella replied with a cheerful smile. "And I'm not going to leave your side."

"I will reject you as my Mate when the opportunity comes." Calix walked away. 


Alpha Calix Sedgewick never liked the concept of a mate ...

She was never meant to be a vessel.

In a world...

On a stormy night, a horrific crash unfolded on the overpass. The victim was brought to the city forensic center.
My husband, Ethan, slipped on his gloves and expertly examined my shattered body, his voice detached. "Record this: Female, approximately twenty-five years old, suffered severe trauma before death."
His assistant sighed. "That's rough. Not a single family member showed up."
Just then, ...

For seven years of marriage, I don't dare make a sound around my husband.
All because he can hear everyone's voices—everyone's except mine. He says he's allergic to mine.

But no matter how hard I tried—every time he'd just cover his ears like I was hurting him.
