Chapter 1

Acacia Dawn Winters Punto di Vista

La vita è un labirinto; seguilo come se la tua vita dipendesse da esso, perché è così.

Ho sentito questa citazione fin da quando ero bambina e mi sono sempre chiesta perché dovremmo lottare così tanto e correre per seguirne il corso.

Sono sempre stata una persona lenta. Contrariamente alla citazione, ho sempre cercato di creare una vita a ritmo lento per respirarla, viverla e goderne.

Sono sempre stata una persona che ha cercato di affrontare le cose che la vita mi gettava contro e sono sempre stata felice di superarle. Non ho mai corso per tenere il passo degli altri. Non ho mai cercato di risolvere un labirinto il più velocemente possibile. Mi piaceva anche quello.

Non ho mai corso.

Ho camminato per tutta la mia vita.

Ma non ora...

Per la prima volta nella mia vita, mi sentivo ansiosa. Mi sentivo confusa, senza idee e persa.

Sentivo che dovevo correre. E questo è il momento in cui devo correre.

Sentivo una strana sensazione elettrica nelle gambe e prurito a correre il più lontano possibile da qui. Ma come posso?

Non posso andarmene da qui.

Sono bloccata qui per sempre, sola.

Ho guardato intorno al luogo in cui mi trovo attualmente e sono inciampata per mettermi in piedi. Come sono arrivata qui?

Dove sono gli altri?

Dove sono i miei amici?

Ho guardato di nuovo intorno all'isola su cui mi trovo attualmente e ho cercato di capire cosa mi sta succedendo.

Qui non c'è altro che alberi e piante.

Come sono arrivata qui?

I miei amici mi stanno facendo uno scherzo?

"Ruby? Ruby, dove sei? So che stai cercando di farmi spaventare. Esci dal tuo nascondiglio" ho urlato forte aspettandomi una grande risata come risposta.

"Ruby?"

"Damien? Da...Damien?"

"Ragazzi, dove vi state nascondendo? So che state cercando di farmi spaventare"

"Ragazzi, uscite dal vostro nascondiglio."

"R – Ragazzi. Damien! Carter! Anne! Ruby!" ho chiamato i loro nomi.

Ho iniziato a sentirmi di nuovo ansiosa e ho iniziato a correre lungo le rive della spiaggia di sabbia bianca cercando qualcuno. Chiunque.

Ho camminato lungo la riva per più di due ore e non ho trovato nessuno. Ora sono sicura che non è uno scherzo dei miei amici. Se lo fosse, avrebbero dovuto rivelarlo a questo punto, ma non vedo nessuno qui.

Dove sono gli altri?

Ho scosso la testa per raccogliere tutti i ricordi del viaggio che il nostro gruppo di amici stava facendo da una settimana.

Era stata un'idea di Carter fare un viaggio. È sempre stato lui a spingerci a viaggiare mentre io e Anne siamo le pigre del gruppo. Non importa quanto ci piaccia viaggiare, io e Anne sceglieremmo comunque di stare comode a casa.

Damien, era il neutrale tra noi. Sempre il più equilibrato tra noi; contrariamente alla sua ragazza, Ruby, che è decisamente la pazza del gruppo. Un po' estrema e esagerata.

Dal liceo al secondo anno di università, siamo stati un gruppo esplosivo, frequentando persino lo stesso corso di studi. Architettura.

Abbiamo preso un volo diretto da Londra al Cile per girare e a volte semplicemente perderci con il vento. Essere interessati all'architettura può fare questo a una persona. I tuoi occhi sono progettati per vedere l'arte in tutto.

Plaza De Armas era bellissima con il suo stile barocco. Le statue lì erano così incredibili e così belle che abbiamo scattato molte foto.

Da lì siamo andati alla Cueva del Milodón e, Dio, era mozzafiato! Era la grotta più bella che avessi mai visto. Era così profonda e ci sono varietà di nuovi tipi di animali che potresti non trovare in altri posti.

Arte al suo apice.

Il viaggio stava andando così bene con visite pianificate e un approccio nomade al cibo. Dalla terra, all'aria al mare, stavamo cercando ogni mezzo di delizia.

Fino a quando –

Fino a quando abbiamo pensato di andare in Patagonia per visitare cascate e ghiacciai.

È stato allora che è iniziato.

Stavamo viaggiando in barca verso la terra delle cascate, chiacchierando felicemente, prendendoci in giro, minacciando di buttarci in mare a vicenda quando qualcosa è sembrato strano.

Un momento ero avvolta nell'abbraccio della gioia e il momento successivo ho provato una strana sensazione nel profondo dello stomaco.

Era una sensazione strana che sembrava... minacciosa!

Come una premonizione di un brutto presentimento.

Mi sentivo come se... come se la mia anima e il mio corpo si stessero strappando e venissi convocata da una forza che non potevo vedere. Il mio cuore sembrava avere un paletto attraverso di esso. Doloroso e mortale.

I brividi mi percorrevano il corpo e lo irrigidivano mentre la sensazione si intensificava ogni momento che passava. Quattro paia di occhi osservavano il mio improvviso cambiamento d'umore e, prima che potessi raccontare loro cosa stava accadendo, qualcosa di freddo mi avvolse.

Da lì, la mia memoria è un po' confusa. Ricordo vagamente che stavo per svenire e ho sentito un forte schianto prima che tutto diventasse nero.

Vedendo come mi sono ritrovato sulla riva di un'isola, incosciente e quasi morto, era chiaro che la sensazione sinistra che avevo provato era giusta.

La nostra nave era naufragata e io ero l'unico che era stato trascinato fino a questo luogo. L'isola desolata piena di vegetazione selvaggia.

Oh cielo, i miei amici... sono sopravvissuti come me?

Non credo che qualcuno sia arrivato su quest'isola perché sembra che io sia solo qui. Ma come?

Il presunto naufragio è avvenuto in mezzo al mare, quindi non è possibile che io sia arrivato fino a qui a nuoto. E la cosa strana è che i miei vestiti non sono così bagnati.

Non è una giornata di sole, quindi non posso concludere che forse i miei vestiti e i miei capelli si siano asciugati mentre ero incosciente. Anche questo non è possibile. E mi sento bene.

Considerando l'esperienza di quasi morte, mi sento un po' debole ma bene. Abbastanza bene da aver passato due ore camminando lungo la riva dell'isola.

Cosa sta succedendo esattamente qui?

Perché sono solo su quest'isola?

Le lacrime mi scorrevano sulle guance per la situazione in cui mi trovavo. Non so dove mi trovo e come sono arrivato qui. Voglio tornare a casa mia, alla mia università e ai miei amici.

Ma come?

Come posso tornare da qui? C'è solo acqua intorno e nessuna abitazione da nessuna parte. La terra su cui mi trovo attualmente è inutilizzata e non scoperta.

Nessuna traccia di persone o barche!

"ARGH!!!!" urlai spaventato sentendo il forte tuono.

Indietreggiai al suono improvviso e caddi sulla sabbia bianca, coprendomi il viso con le mani.

Una parata di tuoni colpiva il cielo nuvoloso e scuro, facendomi spaventare ancora di più.

Sembra che stia per piovere e devo cercare un riparo prima di essere completamente inzuppato e morire di ipotermia.

Guardai intorno alla vasta riva e alla profonda coltre di alberi alti allineati lungo i bordi della foresta.

Con un altro forte lampo, iniziò a piovere con grosse gocce dure, bagnandomi completamente in pochi secondi.

Tremando e balbettando con i denti che battevano, mi mossi immediatamente verso l'albero cespuglioso lungo per proteggermi dagli attacchi freddi.

Con ogni colpo di vento freddo, un freddo brivido iniziò a colpire profondamente la mia spina dorsale.

Sentii un forte grido di animale provenire dal profondo della foresta, facendomi soffocare in singhiozzi. Era selvaggio e sembrava affamato.

Pericolosamente predatorio, il ringhio fu seguito da un altro, questa volta molto più feroce.

Accidenti! Sono sopravvissuto a un enorme naufragio solo per essere mangiato crudo da un animale?

Stare sotto un albero durante un temporale è come firmare una lettera di morte con un sorriso, quindi per evitare di essere colpito da un fulmine o arrostito dal fuoco, guardai intorno per trovare qualcosa di più sicuro in cui rifugiarmi, vedendo come la riva non riparata e il riparo degli alberi stessero entrambi cercando di uccidermi in ogni caso.

Con una serie di maledizioni, mi stropicciai gli occhi annebbiati e camminai intorno ai due alberi per trovare qualcosa, una tana, una grotta o qualcosa di più sicuro.

Il poco calore nel mio corpo iniziava lentamente a svanire. Sentivo le labbra screpolate e gelate. Lentamente, cominciai a perdere il controllo del mio corpo e l'inferno freddo intorpidiva ogni movimento in me.

Non riuscivo a muovermi da solo. Gli occhi che prima erano offuscati dalla pioggia battente cominciavano a perdere la messa a fuoco e la mia testa iniziava a cedere; quasi mettendomi in un altro sonno, ma questa volta, sono sicuro che non mi sarei svegliato.

Accovacciandomi e abbracciandomi, la mia testa si appoggiò al tronco dell'albero. I miei sensi iniziavano a fallire uno dopo l'altro. Presto, le mie orecchie non risuonavano più dei suoni del vento, delle onde e della pioggia. Il mio naso troppo freddo e intorpidito per sentire qualsiasi odore, non sentivo più la mia pelle.

La parata confusa del mio cervello continuava a offuscarmi in un sonno eterno. Ancora pochi secondi e sarei scomparso per sempre e non avevo nemmeno abbastanza mente per dire qualche ultima parola per me stesso.

I miei occhi infine si chiusero accogliendo la calma torturante che mi abbracciava, solo per essere interrotta da qualcosa che sembrava un nome.

"Acacia"

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate

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.

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.

He kills without mercy. She loves without reason. And nothing will stop her from having him.

For three years, Mafia leader Conner O’Neill has felt eyes on him. A phantom touch in the night. Perfume lingering on his pillows. Warm cookies in his oven. Enemies' heads delivered to his doorstep, gift-wrapped in bloodied silk. It isn’t fear that coils in his gut—it’s fascination. Someone is watching him. Someone who knows him. Someone who kills for him.

Her name is Sage—and she’s been his shadow since the night he unknowingly stole her heart with a bullet to another man’s brain. For her, it was love at first sight. Violent. Beautiful. Inevitable. Raised in darkness, owned by a monster, Sage was never meant to love. But Conner changed that. And she’s been his ever since, waiting for the day she can step out of the shadows and into his arms.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.

She’s done watching. It’s time he learns the truth.

He belongs to her. And she’ll kill anyone who tries to take him away.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
