Chapter 1

남계촌은 대청산 기슭에 자리하고 있으며, 산 아래로는 길게 뻗은 큰 강이 흐르고 있어 남계촌이라 불린다.

대청산에서는 열여덟 열아홉 살쯤 되어 보이는 젊은 청년이 약초 바구니를 메고 약재를 찾고 있었다. 이 청년의 이름은 이대보로, 남계촌의 유일한 마을 의사였다.

"아이고..."

열심히 약초를 찾던 이대보가 갑자기 한 여자의 가벼운 신음 소리를 들었다. 그는 속으로 중얼거렸다. '설마 산속에서 여자가 그런 짓을 하고 있는 건가?'

하지만 소리가 나는 쪽으로 고개를 돌리자, 서른 살 정도 되어 보이는 여자가 자신에게서 그리 멀지 않은 곳에 넘어져 있는 것이 보였다. 그 여자는 하얀 피부에 갸름한 얼굴, 그리고 매혹적인 큰 눈이 무척이나 아름다웠다. 지금은 통증 때문에 눈살을 찌푸리고 있었는데, 그 약간의 고통스러운 표정이 그녀에게 또 다른 매력을 더해주고 있었다.

이 여자는 이대보가 아는 사람이었다. 마을 이장인 주소군의 아내로, 예쁘게 생겼을 뿐만 아니라 차림새도 세련되어, 남계촌의 소박한 차림의 여자들과 비교하면 완전히 도시 사람 같았다.

하지만 이 여자는 평소에 상당히 요염하게 보여서, 남계촌의 남자들 중 그녀를 탐내지 않는 사람이 없었다.

"계화 형수님, 어떻게 된 거예요?" 이대보는 장계화가 땅에 앉아 고통스러워하는 모습을 보고 다가갔다. 그 순간, 향기로운 냄새가 그를 감쌌다.

"대보야, 나... 나 뱀한테 물린 것 같아."

이대보가 다가오는 것을 본 장계화는 매혹적인 눈빛을 반짝이며, 붉은 입술을 살짝 깨물고 애교 있게 말했다. 정말이지, 이 여자가 입술을 깨무는 모습은 사람 마음을 설레게 했다.

뱀에 물렸다는 말을 듣자마자, 사람 구하는 것이 급선무라는 생각에 이대보는 더 이상 생각할 겨를 없이 서둘러 약초 바구니에서 몇 가지 약재를 꺼냈다. "형수님, 어디를 물렸어요? 일단 독혈을 빨아내야겠어요."

이대보는 자주 산에 약초를 캐러 다녀서, 이 대청산에 독성이 강한 뱀들이 있다는 것을 알고 있었다. 독혈을 빨리 제거하지 않으면 목숨을 잃을 수도 있었다!

장계화는 이대보가 이렇게 긴장하는 모습을 보고 눈에 거의 감지할 수 없는 미소를 흘렸다. 사실 그녀가 오늘 산에 온 것은 사람 없는 곳에서 이대보를 유혹하기 위해서였다.

그녀는 몇 년 전 마을 이장 주소군과 결혼했고, 겉으로 보기에는 화려해 보였지만, 자신의 고통은 오직 자신만 알고 있었다. 그녀의 남편은 이 몇 년 동안 몸을 망쳐놓아서, 최근 2년간 그녀와 제대로 관계를 맺지 못했다.

속담에 '서른은 늑대처럼, 마흔은 호랑이처럼, 쉰은 땅에서 흙을 빨 수 있다'고 했다.

장계화는 바로 그 '늑대' 같은 나이에 있었고, 계속해서 마을의 오이로 그 일을 대신하는 것은 견딜 수 없었다. 그래서 그녀는 마을에서 유일하게 눈에 들어오는 청년인 이대보를 떠올렸다!

그녀는 일부러 이대보를 따라 대청산에 왔고, 뱀에 물렸다는 것도 당연히 거짓말이었다.

하지만 이대보가 이렇게 긴장하는 것을 보니, 장계화는 마음속으로 더욱 이 청년과 함께 즐거운 시간을 보내고 싶어졌다.

"대보야, 그 뱀이... 그 뱀이 형수 아래를 물었어." 장계화는 평소에 매우 대담했지만, 실제로 이런 말을 할 때는 여전히 마음속으로 약간 부끄러움을 느꼈다.

이대보는 장계화의 수줍어하는 모습을 보고 잠시 멍해졌다가 곧 얼굴이 빨개졌다. 속으로는 그 뱀이 예의가 없다고 욕했다. 어떻게 여자의 그런 곳을 물 수가 있지?

하지만 사람 구하는 것이 급선무라는 생각에, 이대보는 잠시 망설이다가 결국 이를 악물고 말했다. "형수님, 치... 치마 좀 걷어주세요. 제가... 제가 먼저 독혈을 빼내고, 그 다음에 약을 발라드릴게요!"

Goddess Of The Underworld.

Completed · sheridan.hartin
Left at a pack border with a name and a stubborn heartbeat, Envy grows into the sharpest kind of survivor, an orphaned warrior who knows how to hold a line and keep moving. Love isn’t in the plan…until four alpha wolves with playboy reputations and inconveniently soft hands decide the girl who won’t bow is the only queen they’ll ever take. Their mate. The one they have waited for. Xavier, Haiden, Levi, and Noah are gorgeous, lethal, and anything but perfect and Envy isn’t either. She’s changing. First into hell hound, Layah at her heels and fire in her veins. Then into what the realm has been waiting for, a Goddess of the Underworld, dragging her mates down to hell with her. Then finally into lycan princess, stronger, faster, the moon finally answering back, giving her exactly what she needs to protect her family.

When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armor, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of a border pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to stay; of cake, iron, and daylight negotiations. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.

Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…
And spoke to me in a voice I knew far too well.
The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.
Aiden
Noah Blake was supposed to be a challenge.
A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.
But one message had changed everything.
One night on ObeyNet, a stranger with attitude and submission tangled in his words.
And when I saw Noah in person—his fire, his fear, that ache to be seen—
I knew it was him.
He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.
But I was already testing him. Pushing him.
Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.

“You think I’d share my mate? Just stand by and watch while you fuck another woman and have her kids?”
“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.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Alpha Cole Redmen is the youngest of six born to Alpha Charles and Luna Sara Mae, leaders of the Red Fang pack. Born prematurely, Alpha Charles rejected him without hesitation as weak and undeserving of his very life. He is reminded daily of his father’s hatred for him paving the way for the rest of his family to become the same.
By adulthood, his father’s hatred and abuse towards him has spilled over into the rest of the pack making him the scapegoat for those with the sadistic need to see him suffer. The rest are simply too afraid to even look his way leaving him little in the way of friends or family to turn to.
Alpha Demetri Black is the leader of a sanctuary pack known as Crimson Dawn. It’s been years since a wolf has made their way to his pack via the warrior’s prospect program but that doesn’t mean he’s not looking for the tell tale signs of a wolf in need of help.
Malnourished and injured upon his arrival, Cole’s anxious and overly submissive demeanor lands him in the very situation he’s desperate to avoid, in the attention of an unknown alpha.
Yet somehow through the darkness of severe illness and injury he runs into the very person he’s been desperate to find since he turned eighteen, his Luna. His one way ticket out of the hell he’s been born into.
Will Cole find the courage needed to leave his pack once and for all, to seek the love and acceptance he’s never had?

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.

Well, here goes everything.

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wanted—especially not that night.
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
