Chapter 1
¿Conoces esas historias sobre rechazados no deseados cuyos seres queridos murieron o los abandonaron para vagar sin rumbo por el mundo? Un don nadie sin valor, casi invisible para los demás. No hay nada espectacular en ellos, ningún gran ascenso de la nada a algo cuando llegan a la adultez.
Sí, bueno, esa es más o menos mi historia.
Mi nombre es Alora Dennison, y estoy literalmente a horas de mi Ceremonia de Despertar a la madura edad de dieciocho años, sin absolutamente nadie que se preocupe por mí para estar allí; sin apoyo, sin familia y, definitivamente, sin amigos. Supongo que soy una tardía. No es que sea inusual en mi linaje, ya que casi todas las mujeres de mi familia no 'salieron' hasta que llegaron a la adolescencia tardía, por lo que puedo recordar. Al igual que los demás en el orfanato, atrapados aquí conmigo. Otra razón por la que somos despreciados y dejados a nuestra suerte en este infierno que llaman hogar.
Mi ceremonia me tiene revuelta por dentro y caminando inquieta por la habitación que comparto con Vanka. Ella es como yo, aunque en todos los años que hemos compartido cuarto, no puedo decir que alguna vez nos hayamos hecho amigas de ningún tipo. Ella deja claro que no le agrado y, al igual que todos a mi alrededor, todos mantienen su distancia. Nos toleramos, pero ninguno de nosotros ha formado un vínculo.
Soy una huérfana cuyos padres murieron en la guerra contra los vampiros hace diez años. Ella también, pero eso no la acercó a mí de ninguna manera. Supongo que porque ella es de una rama del clan Santo, y ellos han odiado al clan Whyte desde mucho antes de la guerra. Estábamos en disputa antes de que los vampiros nos unieran a todos, y las viejas cicatrices y rencores no son algo que los lobos dejen ir rápidamente.
Éramos dos niñas pequeñas sin tutores de sangre inmediata, puestas en este lugar para cachorros no deseados para vivir nuestros días de manera poco excepcional. Habría sido más amable acabar con nuestra miseria en ese entonces que dejarnos vivir como parias entre nuestra gente, nuestra propia especie. Rechazadas porque somos la prueba vergonzosa de que sus clanes les fallaron. No creo que supieran qué más hacer con nosotras. Tantos jóvenes sin nadie que los cuidara y los criara en nuestras costumbres, y vistos como malditos. Estaban avergonzados de los fracasos de nuestras familias, y somos nosotros quienes llevamos esa carga como una marca negra eterna pintada en nuestras caras.
Me sorprende que niños como nosotros incluso lleguen a pasar por la ceremonia. Quiero decir, es algo importante, y nosotros no lo somos. Somos un poco como los niños perdidos en Nunca Jamás, excepto que... ninguno de nosotros quiere quedarse aquí, y crecer es la única forma de salir.
Tu Despertar es un poco como una graduación, en cierto sentido. Un paso de niño a adulto y, por lo general, donde encontrarías tu lugar, rango, en el clan, y conseguirías un compañero. No tengo ilusiones de que signifique algo así para ninguno de nosotros que se convierte esta noche. Hay cuatro del hogar no deseado, y escucho que tal vez tres de los clanes alrededor. Solo un puñado de niños tratando de liberarse, encontrar su camino, y todo en la fabulosa presencia de todo el 'Reino del Clan'.
El Reino del Clan son las docenas de tribus de lobos del estado. Todos tienen que reunirse en Shadow Rock para verte transformarte completamente por primera vez bajo la primera luna llena del mes de tu nacimiento. No es difícil saber cuándo estás listo. En las semanas previas a tu cumpleaños, comienzas a cambiar de pequeñas maneras, y, maldita sea, duele como si te rompieran y estiraran las entrañas en ataques de dolor severo y sin ningún control sobre lo que está sucediendo.
Las señales son bastante claras para todos. Algo así como la pubertad para los hombres lobo, supongo. Maduración, mejoras físicas y un aumento masivo del apetito y la agresión. Pequeños momentos en los que comienzas a transformarte dolorosamente, y luego se disipa tan rápido que nunca llegas a la primera transición, pero se informa y nadie puede ocultarlo. El dolor que sabes que vendrá con la primera vez; está reservado para la luna llena después de tu cumpleaños.
Algunos no pasan por esto hasta más tarde en la vida, y otros antes. Por lo general, es un signo de dónde te encuentras en la jerarquía cuando te transformas. Según los ancianos de Santo, cuanto más tiempo tarda, más débil es tu ADN, pero mis padres nunca lo mencionaron cuando era joven. Así que, tener dieciocho años me pone muy abajo en el orden jerárquico y confirma que mi linaje no era el de guerreros ni lo suficientemente fuerte como para ser algo importante. Vanka tiene dieciséis años, y ella también se transforma esta noche, pero con sangre de Santo en sus venas, debería haberse transformado mucho antes. Supongo que la mezcla que tiene en ella es la razón por la que la rechazan como una de los suyos.
Quiero decir, mira a los Santos. Son el clan dominante en el estado, y todos en su linaje se transformaron antes de los diez años. Colton, el próximo heredero como Alfa, tiene diecinueve años, domina a todos en nuestro reino, y ha estado corriendo con el clan desde que tenía apenas ocho años.
Cada uno de los miembros de su familia regresó de las guerras, lo que dice mucho sobre la pureza de sus genes, su fuerza y sus habilidades en la batalla. Está destinado a tomar el lugar de su padre como Alfa algún día, y con la dirección que están tomando las cosas, no solo será el Alfa del clan Santo, sino de todos nosotros. Algo que nunca ha sucedido en nuestra vida, pero que comenzará un nuevo amanecer en la forma en que viven los clanes.
Santo no es un buen tipo. Ninguno de ellos lo es. Camina rodeado de su subclan, mira por encima del hombro a los que somos como nosotros y nunca hace contacto visual ni responde a nadie por debajo de su estatus. Así es como funciona aquí. Dominancia y fuerza son todo para los lobos. Tiene la arrogancia de su padre, y sabe que cada hembra que llega a la pubertad anhela convertirse en su compañera. Aún no se ha emparejado ni marcado oficialmente, y a pesar de tener siempre a la misma chica a su lado, está disponible hasta que lo haga.
Impecablemente guapo en ese estilo latino oscuro, con una cara demasiado atractiva. Mide más de seis pies de músculo y emana agresión sin intentarlo, y es un raro lobo de pelaje negro al transformarse, uno de los más grandes entre nosotros. Creo que la única vez que reconoció mi existencia fue el día que me empujó fuera de su camino al pasar. Tropecé frente a él en el pasillo hacia el gran salón, y no parpadeó ni se detuvo al empujarme agresivamente como si fuera un pedazo de basura liviano. Todas las chicas se rieron de mí cuando caí de culo y me deslicé hacia el basurero, y me he asegurado de no volver a interponerme en su camino.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.

It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.

The Biker's Fate
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."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Crossing Lines
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.

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.
