Western Rose

“Strip.” He ordered simply, his eyes boring tentatively, “I'll not give you the liberty of picking up your clothes if you will not do as you're told.”
“You married me to get revenge on me!” I spat, angrily. “You are not supposed to have any carnal knowledge of me, I won't let it happen.”
He smiled. The same smile that cuts across his lips yet doesn't reach his face.
“You want me to have sex with you?”
“Isn't that what you mean by stripping?”
I asked, confusion boldly written on my face. A loud, dry mocking laugh from him almost made me wish for death.
“No wife.” He whispered, standing up from the bed towards me. “I don't want to see any of my properties on you in my house, I want you tattered and extremely void, I want to see what you will do when you're all bare before me.” I stumbled backwards at the hatred in his voice. “I want to see you at your lowest, Now strip!”

Getting out of prison to meet her loving husband Grey Addison slamming into her best friend Nora on the day of her release isn't the welcome party Moore was expecting.
Divorced and chased out of her property by people she loved most pushed her into the very home of her father she swore never to return to. Moore got home to meet the shock of her life, one greater than the betrayal of her husband and best friend.
She's to Marry the very man she rejected six years ago for Grey!
Lucien returned to ask for her hand in the cruellest way. On the day of her divorce, she got married to the man she knew had nothing but resentment for her.

Another fight with my boyfriend made me agree to my best friend's crazy idea to party at a nightclub. But then, she spiked my drink and I ended up in the arms of a terrifyingly handsome stranger, Michelangelo.
We spent the night together underneath his sheets, as he took me through wild realms of pleasure. But the next morning, he was gone.
And then I caught my boyfriend with my best friend so my life utterly shattered from that day.
Weeks later, I realized that I was pregnant, and I also got hit by the news of my boyfriend's wedding to my best friend.
Devastated, I moved to a Pack in New York City to start anew with my unborn child, and then three years later, guess who I bumped into? The one and only Michelangelo, the real father of my son.
But then, he lied that night. He didn't give me his full name or his real identity. He didn't tell me that he was the formidable Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari, a Mafian Alpha and an insane force to reckon with.
Realizing who he is sends me into a panic attack, but for some reason, he won't stop chasing after me, trying to convince me that he loves me, that he's my fated mate and that he wants to be with me and our son.
What the heck do I do?!

"You’re being bullied. I’m being harassed and stalked by my past flings, so why don’t we help each other out, nerd?"
"How?"
"It’s easy. Be my girlfriend."
"Like a fake girlfriend?"
"Yeah, that. Your presence is gonna keep those bitches away and I get to keep your bullies away. Problem solved."
When the school's bad boy proposes an enticing offer to the school’s nerd, it feels like the perfect plan at the moment. She becomes his fake girlfriend, resolving his chaotic sexual life, and he gets to defend her from her bullies.
A fantastic plan, with zero loopholes. But what happens when the desires and sentiments set in between them? Do they make a plan out of that too, or are they trapped for life?

One reckless night shatters perfect Blakely Torres' life, leaving her implicated in a murder that threatens to tarnish her family’s legacy. Forced to retreat to her family’s ancestral mansion, Blakely finds herself entangled with “The Voids,” men who live beyond the bounds of morality, defies nature, pushing her into desires she’s never faced and testing her trust and control.

"Emily," he said with a low, smooth voice. "You've grown up a lot since the last time I saw you."
My heart practically jumped into my throat. What was that supposed to mean? I couldn't tell if it was a compliment or something...else. That strange, heated thrill kept running through me.
"I...guess so," College changes you."
"Does it?" He asked, tilting his head slightly. There was a hint of mischief in his smile, and my heart raced at the thought of what he might be thinking.
"Yeah, you know," I tried sounding causal. "More responsibilities, more-"
"More maturity?" There was teasing lilt in his voice as he interrupted. The way he said it made my heart flutter.
I laughed, a little nervous. "Yeah, something like that." I mumbled, not really sure how to respond.

The space between them disappeared. She arched into him, tilting her head as his lips traced a slow path down her jaw, then lower.
Goodness, she wanted more.
Valentina De Luca was never meant to be a Caruso bride. That was her sister's role—until Alecia ran off with her fiancé, leaving behind a family drowning in debt and a deal that couldn’t be undone. Now, Valentina is the one offered up as collateral, forced into marriage with Naples’ most dangerous man.
Luca Caruso has no use for a woman who wasn’t part of the original bargain. To him, Valentina is nothing more than a replacement, a means to reclaim what was promised to him. But she isn’t as fragile as she seems. And the more their lives tangle, the harder she is to ignore.
Everything begins to go well for her, well, until her sister returns. And with her, the kind of trouble that could ruin them all.

“The news?” She chuckled bitterly before she got up. “Are you insane, Ryan? Do you think we would both still be alive once he learns that the child's he's been anticipating to have for five years is not his but his Beta's? My Uncle?? Even death wouldn't do enought justice for what we've done!”
“Astella…” I got up and quickly lockedy room door before approaching her, placing two hands on her shoulder and shaking her slightly. “you have to calm down or someone would hear.”
She slowly shook her head with more tears rolling down her cheeks. She was shaking in my grasps and I didn't know whether to hug her. I was torn between comforting her, but at the same time, how was I going to tell her of the brimming happiness I felt.
Knowing that she had her child growing inside of her caused me to have mixed feelings about it. But in the dire reality of the situation, Alpha Liam would have both our heads in his hands once he found out the truth.

Kaela Vance had everything ripped from her–her parents, her wealth, and her peace. At twenty-two, she’s left to scrape by as a nightclub server, her only family a brother lost to addiction. But when an accidental collision with Dante “Viper” Armand, the infamous Italian Mafia Don, turns her life upside down, Kaela finds herself thrust into a dangerous world where loyalty is bought, trust is nonexistent, and her freedom hangs by a thread.
“I should kill you for your insolence,” Dante growled, his eyes narrowing on her defiant stance.
“Then stop talking and do it,” Kaela shot back, trembling but unyielding.
Intrigued by her defiance, Dante keeps Kaela as his captive, but his plans to break her crumble as her strength begins to haunt him. Just as their forbidden connection begins to deepen, betrayal strikes. Kaela’s brother, Rylan, emerges as an unlikely ally or is he a pawn in a deadly game orchestrated by Dante’s greatest enemy?
In a world of blood and deception, Kaela must choose: confront Dante’s dark past and risk her heart or lose everything to the enemies circling them both.

Otra pelea con mi novio me hizo aceptar la loca idea de mi mejor amiga de ir a una discoteca. Pero luego, ella puso algo en mi bebida y terminé en los brazos de un desconocido terriblemente guapo, Michelangelo.
Pasamos la noche juntos bajo sus sábanas, mientras me llevaba a reinos salvajes de placer. Pero a la mañana siguiente, él se había ido.
Y luego encontré a mi novio con mi mejor amiga, así que mi vida se hizo pedazos desde ese día.
Semanas después, me di cuenta de que estaba embarazada, y también me enteré de la noticia de la boda de mi novio con mi mejor amiga.
Devastada, me mudé a una manada en la ciudad de Nueva York para empezar de nuevo con mi hijo no nacido, y luego, tres años después, ¿adivina con quién me encontré? Con el único e inigualable Michelangelo, el verdadero padre de mi hijo.
Pero entonces, él mintió esa noche. No me dio su nombre completo ni su verdadera identidad. No me dijo que era el formidable Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari, un Alfa mafioso y una fuerza imparable.
Darme cuenta de quién es me provoca un ataque de pánico, pero por alguna razón, no deja de perseguirme, tratando de convencerme de que me ama, de que es mi compañero destinado y de que quiere estar conmigo y con nuestro hijo.
¿Qué demonios hago?!

—Te están acosando. A mí me están acosando y persiguiendo mis ex, así que ¿por qué no nos ayudamos mutuamente, nerd?
—¿Cómo?
—Es fácil. Sé mi novia.
—¿Como una novia falsa?
—Sí, eso. Tu presencia va a mantener a esas perras alejadas y yo mantengo a tus acosadores lejos. Problema resuelto.

Un plan fantástico, sin fisuras. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando los deseos y sentimientos surgen entre ellos? ¿Hacen un plan para eso también, o quedan atrapados de por vida?
¿Pueden encontrar un terreno común para cultivar estos intensos sentimientos en una manada donde la jerarquía manda, prohibiéndoles estar juntos? ¿O tendrán que dejarse ir el uno al otro?

"Você está sendo intimidada. Eu estou sendo assediado e perseguido pelas minhas ex, então por que não ajudamos um ao outro, nerd?"
"Como?"
"É fácil. Seja minha namorada."
"Tipo uma namorada de mentira?"

Um plano fantástico, sem falhas. Mas o que acontece quando os desejos e sentimentos surgem entre eles? Eles fazem um plano para isso também, ou ficam presos para sempre?
Será que eles conseguem encontrar um meio-termo para cultivar esses sentimentos intensos em uma Matilha onde a hierarquia reina, proibindo-os de ficarem juntos? Ou terão que abrir mão um do outro?

いったいどうすればいいの！？

Un'altra lite con il mio ragazzo mi ha fatto accettare la folle idea della mia migliore amica di andare a fare festa in una discoteca. Ma poi, lei ha drogato il mio drink e sono finita tra le braccia di uno sconosciuto terribilmente affascinante, Michelangelo.
Abbiamo passato la notte insieme sotto le sue lenzuola, mentre mi portava attraverso regni selvaggi di piacere. Ma la mattina dopo, lui era sparito.
E poi ho sorpreso il mio ragazzo con la mia migliore amica, e la mia vita è andata in frantumi da quel giorno.
Settimane dopo, ho scoperto di essere incinta, e ho anche ricevuto la notizia del matrimonio del mio ragazzo con la mia migliore amica.
Devastata, mi sono trasferita in un branco a New York City per ricominciare con il mio bambino non ancora nato, e poi, tre anni dopo, indovina chi ho incontrato? L'unico e solo Michelangelo, il vero padre di mio figlio.
Ma poi, quella notte ha mentito. Non mi ha dato il suo nome completo né la sua vera identità. Non mi ha detto che era il formidabile Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari, un Alfa mafioso e una forza della natura.
Realizzare chi è mi manda in un attacco di panico, ma per qualche motivo, lui non smette di inseguirmi, cercando di convincermi che mi ama, che è il mio compagno predestinato e che vuole stare con me e nostro figlio.
Che diavolo devo fare?!

Ein weiterer Streit mit meinem Freund brachte mich dazu, dem verrückten Vorschlag meiner besten Freundin zuzustimmen, in einem Nachtclub zu feiern. Doch dann hat sie mein Getränk mit etwas versetzt und ich landete in den Armen eines erschreckend gut aussehenden Fremden, Michelangelo.
Wir verbrachten die Nacht zusammen unter seinen Laken, während er mich durch wilde Gefilde der Lust führte. Aber am nächsten Morgen war er verschwunden.
Und dann erwischte ich meinen Freund mit meiner besten Freundin, und mein Leben zerbrach an diesem Tag völlig.
Wochen später stellte ich fest, dass ich schwanger war, und erfuhr auch von der Hochzeit meines Freundes mit meiner besten Freundin.
Am Boden zerstört zog ich nach New York City, um in einem neuen Rudel mit meinem ungeborenen Kind neu anzufangen. Und dann, drei Jahre später, rate mal, wem ich über den Weg lief? Dem einen und einzigen Michelangelo, dem leiblichen Vater meines Sohnes.
Aber er hatte in jener Nacht gelogen. Er hatte mir weder seinen vollen Namen noch seine wahre Identität verraten. Er hatte mir nicht gesagt, dass er der gefürchtete Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari war, ein Mafia-Alpha und eine unberechenbare Macht.
Als ich erkannte, wer er wirklich war, bekam ich eine Panikattacke, aber aus irgendeinem Grund hörte er nicht auf, mich zu verfolgen, versuchte mich davon zu überzeugen, dass er mich liebt, dass er mein Schicksalsgefährte ist und dass er mit mir und unserem Sohn zusammen sein will.
Was zum Teufel soll ich tun?!

Une autre dispute avec mon petit ami m'a fait accepter l'idée folle de ma meilleure amie d'aller faire la fête en boîte de nuit. Mais ensuite, elle a drogué mon verre et j'ai fini dans les bras d'un étranger terriblement séduisant, Michelangelo.
Nous avons passé la nuit ensemble sous ses draps, alors qu'il me faisait découvrir des royaumes sauvages de plaisir. Mais le lendemain matin, il était parti.
Et puis j'ai surpris mon petit ami avec ma meilleure amie, et ma vie s'est complètement effondrée à partir de ce jour-là.
Quelques semaines plus tard, j'ai réalisé que j'étais enceinte, et j'ai aussi appris la nouvelle du mariage de mon petit ami avec ma meilleure amie.
Dévastée, j'ai déménagé dans une meute à New York pour recommencer avec mon enfant à naître, et puis trois ans plus tard, devinez sur qui je suis tombée ? Le seul et unique Michelangelo, le véritable père de mon fils.
Mais ensuite, il a menti cette nuit-là. Il ne m'a pas donné son nom complet ni sa véritable identité. Il ne m'a pas dit qu'il était le redoutable Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari, un Alpha mafieux et une force avec laquelle il faut compter.
Réaliser qui il est me provoque une crise de panique, mais pour une raison quelconque, il n'arrête pas de me poursuivre, essayant de me convaincre qu'il m'aime, que je suis sa compagne destinée et qu'il veut être avec moi et notre fils.
Qu'est-ce que je suis censée faire ?!

또 다시 남자친구와 싸운 후, 절친의 미친 제안에 동의하고 나이트클럽에 가기로 했어요. 그런데 그녀가 내 음료에 약을 타서, 결국 무섭도록 잘생긴 낯선 남자, 미켈란젤로의 품에 안기게 되었죠.
우리는 그의 침대에서 밤을 보냈고, 그는 나를 황홀한 쾌락의 세계로 이끌었어요. 하지만 다음 날 아침, 그는 사라졌어요.
그리고 남자친구가 내 절친과 바람피우는 걸 목격하면서 내 인생은 그날부터 완전히 무너졌어요.
몇 주 후, 임신한 사실을 알게 되었고, 남자친구가 내 절친과 결혼한다는 소식까지 들었어요.
절망에 빠져, 나는 뉴욕 시티의 한 팩으로 이사해 태어날 아이와 함께 새 출발을 하기로 했어요. 그리고 3년 후, 누구를 우연히 마주쳤는지 아세요? 바로 내 아들의 진짜 아빠, 미켈란젤로였어요.
하지만 그날 밤 그는 거짓말을 했어요. 자신의 본명이나 진짜 신분을 알려주지 않았어요. 그는 무시무시한 마피아 알파이자 엄청난 힘을 가진 니코 '미켈란젤로' 페라리라는 사실을 말하지 않았어요.
그가 누구인지 알게 되자 나는 공황 상태에 빠졌지만, 이상하게도 그는 나를 쫓아다니며 자신이 나를 사랑한다고, 우리가 운명적인 짝이라고, 나와 우리 아들과 함께하고 싶다고 설득하려 해요.
대체 어쩌면 좋죠?!

Satu lagi pertengkaran dengan teman lelaki saya membuatkan saya setuju dengan idea gila kawan baik saya untuk berpesta di kelab malam. Tapi kemudian, dia mencampurkan sesuatu dalam minuman saya dan saya berakhir dalam pelukan seorang lelaki yang sangat tampan dan menakutkan, Michelangelo.
Kami menghabiskan malam bersama di bawah selimutnya, dia membawa saya ke alam kenikmatan yang liar. Tapi keesokan paginya, dia hilang.
Dan kemudian saya menangkap teman lelaki saya bersama kawan baik saya, hidup saya hancur dari hari itu.
Beberapa minggu kemudian, saya menyedari bahawa saya mengandung, dan saya juga mendapat berita tentang perkahwinan teman lelaki saya dengan kawan baik saya.
Hancur hati, saya berpindah ke sebuah Pack di New York City untuk memulakan hidup baru dengan anak yang belum lahir, dan tiga tahun kemudian, teka siapa yang saya terserempak? Satu-satunya Michelangelo, bapa sebenar anak saya.
Tapi kemudian, dia berbohong malam itu. Dia tidak memberikan nama penuhnya atau identiti sebenarnya. Dia tidak memberitahu saya bahawa dia adalah Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari yang hebat, seorang Alfa Mafian dan kuasa yang menakutkan.
Menyedari siapa dia membuat saya panik, tetapi entah kenapa, dia tidak berhenti mengejar saya, cuba meyakinkan saya bahawa dia mencintai saya, bahawa dia adalah jodoh saya dan dia mahu bersama saya dan anak kami.
Apa yang patut saya lakukan?!

Một lần cãi nhau nữa với bạn trai khiến tôi đồng ý với ý tưởng điên rồ của bạn thân là đi quẩy ở một câu lạc bộ đêm. Nhưng rồi, cô ấy bỏ thuốc vào đồ uống của tôi và tôi kết thúc trong vòng tay của một người lạ đẹp trai đến đáng sợ, Michelangelo.
Chúng tôi đã trải qua đêm đó dưới tấm chăn của anh ấy, khi anh ấy đưa tôi vào những cõi khoái lạc hoang dại. Nhưng sáng hôm sau, anh ấy đã biến mất.
Và rồi tôi bắt gặp bạn trai mình với bạn thân, cuộc đời tôi hoàn toàn tan vỡ từ ngày đó.
Vài tuần sau, tôi nhận ra mình đã mang thai, và cũng nhận được tin bạn trai sắp cưới bạn thân của tôi.
Quá đau khổ, tôi chuyển đến một Pack ở New York City để bắt đầu lại với đứa con chưa chào đời, và ba năm sau, đoán xem tôi gặp ai? Chính là Michelangelo, cha ruột của con trai tôi.
Nhưng rồi, anh ấy đã nói dối đêm đó. Anh ấy không cho tôi biết tên đầy đủ hay danh tính thật của mình. Anh ấy không nói với tôi rằng anh ấy là Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari, một Alpha Mafia đáng gờm và là một thế lực điên cuồng không thể xem thường.
Nhận ra anh ấy là ai khiến tôi hoảng loạn, nhưng vì lý do nào đó, anh ấy không ngừng đuổi theo tôi, cố gắng thuyết phục tôi rằng anh ấy yêu tôi, rằng anh ấy là định mệnh của tôi và rằng anh ấy muốn ở bên tôi và con trai chúng tôi.
Tôi phải làm gì đây?!

อีกครั้งที่ทะเลาะกับแฟน ทำให้ฉันยอมรับไอเดียบ้าบอของเพื่อนสนิทที่จะไปปาร์ตี้ที่ไนต์คลับ แต่แล้วเธอก็แอบใส่ยาลงในเครื่องดื่มของฉัน และฉันก็จบลงในอ้อมแขนของชายหนุ่มที่หล่อเหลาจนน่ากลัวชื่อว่า มิเคลันเจโล
เราคืนหนึ่งด้วยกันใต้ผ้าห่มของเขา เขาพาฉันไปสู่โลกแห่งความสุขที่บ้าคลั่ง แต่เช้าวันต่อมา เขาก็หายไป
และแล้วฉันก็จับได้ว่าแฟนของฉันอยู่กับเพื่อนสนิทของฉัน ชีวิตของฉันพังทลายตั้งแต่วันนั้น
หลายสัปดาห์ต่อมา ฉันรู้ว่าฉันท้อง และฉันก็ได้รับข่าวว่าแฟนของฉันจะแต่งงานกับเพื่อนสนิทของฉัน
ฉันเสียใจมาก จึงย้ายไปอยู่ที่นิวยอร์กซิตี้เพื่อเริ่มต้นใหม่กับลูกในท้อง และสามปีต่อมา ใครจะคิดว่าฉันจะเจอใคร? มิเคลันเจโล พ่อที่แท้จริงของลูกชายของฉัน
แต่เขาโกหกในคืนนั้น เขาไม่ได้บอกชื่อเต็มหรืออัตลักษณ์ที่แท้จริงของเขา เขาไม่ได้บอกฉันว่าเขาคือ นิโค 'มิเคลันเจโล' เฟอร์รารี อัลฟ่ามาเฟียที่น่ากลัวและเป็นพลังที่ไม่มีใครกล้าต่อกร
เมื่อรู้ว่าเขาเป็นใคร ฉันก็เกิดอาการตื่นตระหนก แต่ไม่รู้ทำไม เขาไม่หยุดตามฉัน พยายามโน้มน้าวฉันว่าเขารักฉัน ว่าเขาคือคู่แท้ของฉัน และว่าเขาอยากอยู่กับฉันและลูกของเรา
ฉันควรทำยังไงดี?!

Pertengkaran lagi dengan pacarku membuatku setuju dengan ide gila sahabatku untuk berpesta di klub malam. Tapi kemudian, dia mencampur minumanku dengan sesuatu dan aku berakhir di pelukan seorang pria tampan yang mengerikan, Michelangelo.
Kami menghabiskan malam bersama di bawah selimutnya, saat dia membawaku ke alam liar penuh kenikmatan. Tapi keesokan paginya, dia menghilang.
Dan kemudian aku memergoki pacarku dengan sahabatku, sehingga hidupku benar-benar hancur sejak hari itu.
Beberapa minggu kemudian, aku menyadari bahwa aku hamil, dan aku juga mendapat kabar tentang pernikahan pacarku dengan sahabatku.
Hancur, aku pindah ke sebuah Pack di New York City untuk memulai hidup baru dengan anakku yang belum lahir, dan tiga tahun kemudian, tebak siapa yang kutemui? Michelangelo, ayah kandung anakku.
Tapi ternyata, dia berbohong malam itu. Dia tidak memberiku nama lengkap atau identitas aslinya. Dia tidak memberitahuku bahwa dia adalah Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari yang ditakuti, seorang Alfa Mafia dan kekuatan yang luar biasa.
Menyadari siapa dia membuatku panik, tapi entah kenapa, dia tidak berhenti mengejarku, mencoba meyakinkanku bahwa dia mencintaiku, bahwa dia adalah jodohku dan bahwa dia ingin bersama aku dan anak kami.
Apa yang harus kulakukan?!

Isa na namang away sa boyfriend ko ang nag-udyok sa akin na pumayag sa baliw na ideya ng best friend ko na mag-party sa isang nightclub. Pero nilagyan niya ng droga ang inumin ko at napunta ako sa mga bisig ng isang nakakatakot na guwapong estranghero, si Michelangelo.
Magdamag kaming magkasama sa ilalim ng kanyang mga kumot, habang dinala niya ako sa mga ligaw na mundo ng kaligayahan. Ngunit kinabukasan, wala na siya.
At nahuli ko ang boyfriend ko kasama ang best friend ko kaya tuluyang nagkagulo ang buhay ko mula sa araw na iyon.
Ilang linggo ang lumipas, napagtanto kong buntis ako, at nalaman ko rin ang balita ng kasal ng boyfriend ko sa best friend ko.
Wasak na wasak, lumipat ako sa isang Pack sa New York City para magsimula muli kasama ang aking dinadalang anak, at tatlong taon ang lumipas, sino ang nakasalubong ko? Walang iba kundi si Michelangelo, ang tunay na ama ng anak ko.
Pero nagsinungaling siya noong gabing iyon. Hindi niya ibinigay ang kanyang buong pangalan o tunay na pagkakakilanlan. Hindi niya sinabi sa akin na siya pala si Nico 'Michelangelo' Ferrari, isang makapangyarihang Alpha ng Mafia at isang baliw na puwersang dapat katakutan.
Ang pag-alam kung sino siya ay nagdulot sa akin ng panic attack, pero sa kung anong dahilan, hindi siya tumitigil sa paghabol sa akin, sinusubukang kumbinsihin ako na mahal niya ako, na siya ang itinadhana para sa akin at gusto niyang makasama ako at ang anak namin.
Ano ba ang gagawin ko?!
