    Five years later, when Evander finally promised that he would attend the last mating ceremony and give up finding his fated mate, Tessa got pregnant. Tessa believed it’s all meant to be, but Evander returned with another woman, claiming that she was his fated mate...

    Chapter 1

    Tessa's POV

    While I'm still lost in the haze of our morning lovemaking, my husband Evander has already let go of me and climbed out of bed.

    No matter how he touches me like I'm the only woman in his world, making me believe that the fire in his eyes means something more, he always returns to his usual detached self the second we finish.

    But I crave it anyway.

    I watch his strong, muscular body stretch out. He seems to glow in the aftermath of our lovemaking, hair ruffled, face ever so slightly flushed.

    "Put on your hearing aids," Evander says to me, pointing to his own ears as a reminder while he reaches for his collared shirt, which had been tossed to the ground in the throes of our morning passion.

    It takes me a second to process the words due to my hearing impairment, but once I do, I nod and reach for my hearing aid on the nightstand.

    A small piece of familiar weight slides into place, and the silence around me starts to fade.

    "I won't be coming home tonight." Evander's voice is deep, steady, and slow enough for me to understand what he's saying. "There's a mating ceremony over in Pine Grove, and I'll be staying overnight."

    My fingers clench the sheets in pain, but this isn't new.

    Although the words land heavily, I'm used to this by now.

    We have been married for years, but Evander has been attending mating ceremonies incessantly to try and look for his Fated mate.

    Evander and I may be mates, but we're Chosen mates–our bond isn't a gift from the Goddess, rather, we've chosen each other's companionship for purely practical reasons.

    And Evander didn't choose me for love. Our marriage is little more than a glorified business contract to merge my late Alpha father's assets with those of Evander's family.

    My mother died when I was young. And when I was twenty, my father passed away, too.

    My father knew that without him, I'd be lost; I would have been nothing but a target. A lone deaf Alpha daughter? That would've practically been an invitation for the rich and powerful to use me, especially the board of directors of our family business.

    So he made sure I'd be protected.

    My father had me married off to Alpha Evander, whose Alpha father was an old family friend, and whom I had a crush on ever since I was a teenager.

    It was a strategic choice, in the end. Evander took over my family's business, and he's since used the extra wealth to become even more influential in our society, while I've been protected by someone I like.

    However, Evander agreed this with one condition—if he ever finds his Fated mate after our business merged, his family will still protect me, but he'd no longer play the role of my husband.

    After all, he wants to run for Alpha President someday. And I suppose a disabled wife won't do much for his public image.

    Part of me still hopes that one day, he'll stop looking.

    That he'll see me.

    I try my best to make this a real marriage, and he hasn't found his fated mate yet.

    We marked each other in the Marking Ceremony when we got married, after all. We're chosen mates. That's not nothing.

    Besides, he seems to love me so much in bed. We have sex every day, sometimes even two or three times, and he's always so tender with me then.

    Evander finishes changing into his clothes–a smart business casual outfit, shirt and slacks pressed and completely wrinkle-free. He looks unbearably handsome.

    As Evander continues to get ready for the day, I notice that his collar is askew. A sudden impulse makes me reach up to smooth it. It's a strangely nostalgic gesture, reminding me of how I used to do it for my father before his meetings.

    Evander freezes for a second. "What are you doing?"His brows pull together, almost frowning.

    I hesitate. Because of my hearing impairment, it always takes me awhile to speak. "Your… your collar."

    "Next time, let me handle it myself," he says. "You don't need to pretend to be my loving wife, Tessa. You know what this marriage is for both of us."

    The way he says it reinforces the fact that I'm just an agreement to him.

    But what if… what if I'm not pretending? I want to ask.

    I don't, though.

    I know it wouldn't change a thing.

    Before I can say anything else, Evander has already pushed open the bedroom door and walked out.

    I breathe out a heavy sigh. Even after all these years of marriage, I couldn't understand him. In bed, he could be warm, but outside of it, he built walls that I could never climb. And I fear that there will always be this wall.

    I take my time getting dressed, tugging on a simple floral dress and tying the ribbon around my waist. I quickly sweep my hair into a flowing half-up half-down braid and pull on a pair of wedge sandals.

    When I make my way downstairs to see Evander off, his Beta, a tall, slender woman named Carol, is already waiting for us.

    Evander eats his meal quickly as she rattles off his schedule quickly and efficiently.

    "You'll arrive in Pine Grove at noon," Carol begins. "You'll all be given some time to settle in, and then the programming begins at two."

    She pauses, glancing at her phone before continuing. "There will be a social mixer until five, and then cocktail hour, and then a more formal dinner. There will be an hour or so reserved for the actual Mating Ceremony, and then…"

    "And then the formal scheduling ends?"

    "That would be correct," Carol replies, tucking her phone back into her pocket.

    Looking at Carol, I can't help but think that I'm not even as useful to him as his Beta.

    My deafness, my weakness.

    Evander finishes off his breakfast just as I'm finished loading up my plate.

    "I'll be heading out now," he says, leaving his dishes on the table for a maid to collect.

    Just then, his mother Madeleine sweeps into the room. "You're leaving?" She asks him.

    Evander nods.

    "Good luck," she says, setting a hand on her hip. "And remember–if you don't find your fated mate at this ceremony, it's time for you to have an heir with Tessa."

    My heart skips a beat.

    “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.
    “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.
    Among humans, I survived by becoming a master of the temporary: drifting job to job… until I became the best bartender in a dusty Texas town.
    That’s where Alpha Adrian found me.
    No one could resist the charming Adrian, and I joined his mysterious pack hidden deep in the desert.
    The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
    The werewolf world was on the verge of a revolution. That’s when I saw Leon again...
    Torn between two Alphas, I had no idea that what awaited us wasn’t just a competition—but a series of brutal, unforgiving trials.

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.

    "You are absolutely my fucking woman, Dani. Got me?"
    I squeezed my eyes shut.
    "Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
    "No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."

    "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?"

    "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.

    "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.
