Introduction
안대장은 자신을 키워준 양어머니가 이렇게 빨리 자신의 혼사를 결정할 줄은 상상도 못했다.
그 순간, 안대장은 무의식적으로 자신의 맞은편에 앉아 있는 계지를 바라보았다.
이십오륙 세 정도의 젊고 예쁜 과부였다. 이목구비가 반듯하고, 키가 훤칠했으며, 피부는 눈처럼 하얬다. 영롱한 아름다운 눈동자에서는 영특함이 묻어났고, 지금은 그에게 한없이 부드러운 표정을 짓고 있었다.
하지만 그는 그리 기쁘지 않았다. 왜냐하면 그가 좋아하는 사람은 사촌형수인 난자였기 때문이다.

Chapter 1
뭐라고? 내가 과부 계지와 오후에 바로 혼인신고를 하라고?
안대장은 자신을 키워준 양어머니가 이렇게 빨리 그의 혼사를 결정할 줄은 꿈에도 몰랐다.
그 순간, 안대장은 무의식적으로 자신의 맞은편에 앉아 있는 계지를 바라보았다.
스물다섯 여섯 살의 젊고 예쁜 과부였다. 이목구비가 반듯하고, 키가 훤칠하며, 피부는 눈처럼 하얗고, 영롱한 아름다운 눈동자에서는 총명함이 느껴졌다. 지금은 그에게 온화한 표정을 짓고 있었다.
하지만 그는 그리 기쁘지 않았다. 왜냐하면 그가 좋아하는 사람은 형수 란자였기 때문이다.
둘 다 과부인데, 왜 꼭 계지와 결혼해야 하는 거지? 란자는 안 되는 건가?
안대장은 이해할 수 없었다.
란자가 남편을 죽게 한다고? 사촌형 안룽을 죽게 했다고?
말도 안 돼!
란자는 안가채 근방에서 유명한 연극배우였다.
극단에서 주역을 맡을 뿐만 아니라, 마을 차극단의 단장이기도 했다.
안가채 전체에서 그녀를 차지하고 싶어하는 남자가 얼마나 많은지 모른다!
이런 여자는 천상의 선녀 같은데, 어떻게 사촌형 안룽을 죽게 했다는 거지?
"이 망할 놈아, 뭘 멍하니 있는 거야? 더 이상 과부 과부 소리 하지 마라. 앞으로 그녀는 네 아내가 될 사람이야!"
귓가에 다시 칠파, 즉 자신의 양어머니의 목소리가 들려오자 안대장은 정신을 차렸다.
"어머니, 이건..."
안대장은 너무 급작스럽다고 말하려 했지만, 칠파의 날카로운 눈빛에 말을 삼켰다. 어릴 때부터 그는 하늘도 땅도 두려워하지 않았지만, 유일하게 거역할 수 없는 사람이 바로 그와 혈연관계는 없지만 가장 그를 아끼는 이 사람이었다.
하지만 정말 오후에 계지와 혼인신고를 하러 가야 하는 걸까?
바로 그때.
문 밖에서 란자의 교성이 들려왔다. "계지 언니, 정말 내 제수가 되는 거네! 우리 안가에 오신 걸 환영해요!"
그녀는 연한 파란색 슬림 스트랩 티셔츠를 입고 있었는데, 섹시한 쇄골이 드러났고, 앞가슴의 풍만함이 걸음을 옮길 때마다 위아래로 흔들렸다. 아래는 몸에 꼭 맞는 칠부 바지를 입어 가느다란 허리와 아름다운 곡선이 돋보였다. 하얗고 부드러운 종아리는 매끄럽고 섬세했으며, 발에는 스트랩 하이힐 샌들을 신고 있었다. 옥같은 발은 하얗고, 발톱에는 검은색 매니큐어가 발라져 있었다.
전체적으로 익어가는 복숭아처럼 유혹적인 매력을 풍기고 있었다.
안대장은 급히 일어나 자리를 내주며 말했다. "형수님, 오셨군요. 어서 앉으세요!"
란자는 먼저 모두에게 살짝 미소를 지은 후, 칠파에게 인사를 드리고 계지 옆에 앉았다.
"계지 언니, 먼저 두 분이 유정천리 종성권속하게 된 것을 축하해요. 그리고 대장아, 형수가 너한테 몇 마디 할게. 앞으로 우리 계지 언니를 잘 대해줘. 그녀와 나는 둘 다 양가채 출신이야. 살림을 잘하는 여자고, 너를 아껴줄 거야.
오늘부터는 열심히 일해야 해. 더 이상 제대로 된 일을 안 하면 안 돼. 이따가 형수 집에 와서 네 사촌형이 남긴 의서를 가져가. 안가의 의술을 널리 알리길 바라. 이건 우리 안가의 대대로 내려오는 보물이니 잃어버리면 안 돼."
란자의 어조는 마치 지혜로운 언니 같았고, 안대장은 듣기에 매우 편안했다.
하지만 마음속은 더욱 복잡해졌고, 눈빛이 반짝였다.
이어서 네 사람이 함께 앉아 식사를 했고, 한 시간 후 모두 배불리 먹고 마셨다.
안대장은 란자에게 달라붙어 집에 가서 안룽이 남긴 고의서를 가져오자고 했다. 그는 그것을 빨리 보고 싶어 견딜 수 없었다.

My Marked Luna
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
"So, how would you like to come, baby?" he whispers.

The Shadow Of A Luna
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.

He would do anything to claim her, protect her and cherish her no matter the cost.

Despite the hardships, a burning desire and willingness to trust will help forge a strong bond between the two... but no bond is unbreakable.

Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a why-choose, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.

“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.
“You’re unbelievable. I’d rather accept your rejection than live like that.”
As a girl without a wolf, I left my mate and my pack behind.

The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
