Arabella Bourbon
Chapter 1
On the day of the divorce, Arabella Bourbon made a point to wear a red sweater and put on a full face of makeup, just like she had two years ago.
At 10 AM sharp, she arrived at the courthouse.
Anthony Watson was already there, waiting.
In the early autumn, he wore a light gray trench coat. His tall frame and handsome features were enough to catch anyone's eye.
"Did you bring the divorce papers?" he asked.
Arabella nodded. "I did."
"Good."
Anthony stepped into the courthouse.
Arabella's mind wandered back to the day they got married at City Hall two years ago. They walked in hand in hand, eyes full of happiness. During their vows, Anthony's eyes even welled up with tears as he promised to love her forever.
But now...
The clerk asked, "Irreconcilable differences, no chance of reconciliation?"
Arabella said, "Yes."
Anthony said, "Yes."
No kids, no property disputes.
The process was surprisingly simple. The clerk stamped and signed, and it was done.
Arabella looked at the divorce certificate in her hand, feeling a deep sense of bitterness.
Same time, new people.
The Anthony who had vowed to take care of her forever was now walking away.
Maybe it was for the best.
She hadn't been happy for a single day in the past two years.
The Watson family was wealthy and powerful, while she came from an ordinary background. Marrying Anthony had always felt like reaching for something out of her league.
To fit into the Watson family, she quit her job, devoted herself to being a homemaker, and worried about everything from household chores to family matters.
But after two years of trying, she still couldn't get pregnant.
Her mother-in-law was critical, her sister-in-law was difficult, and tensions ran high both with her in-laws and with Anthony.
For Anthony's sake, she put up with it all.
But recently, Anthony's first love, Cassidy Sanders, returned to the country.
In the end, the person by your side is no match for the idealized first love.
In this loveless triangle, she chose to let go with dignity.
They walked out of the courthouse, one behind the other, without a word.
Cassidy was waiting outside, dressed in a white dress with her long hair flowing, looking like a fairy.
She didn't look at Anthony but instead turned to Arabella with teary eyes, apologizing, "Arabella, I'm really sorry. I don't know how things ended up like this... I never meant to ruin your marriage."
Arabella's voice was soft, "No need to apologize..."
Before she could finish, Anthony cut in, displeased, "The divorce was my decision. It has nothing to do with Cassie. If you're unhappy, take it out on me, not her."
Arabella fell silent, just as she had during the past month's cooling-off period. She had argued, she had pleaded, and now she was just numb.
Cassidy, upset, said, "Anthony, Arabella did nothing wrong. We owe her an apology. Don't talk to her like that."
Anthony's eyes softened with affection, "You're so kind. What would you do without me?"
Watching their display of affection, Arabella felt like her heart was being torn apart.
On their second wedding anniversary, she had caught Anthony and Cassidy in a hotel room. Cassidy had cried and begged for forgiveness, and Anthony had protected her just like this.
In Anthony's eyes, Cassidy was always kind and innocent.
But would a truly innocent person be in a hotel room with a married man?
Arabella didn't want to expose them, but she wasn't blind. When the love is gone, there's no point in holding on or arguing.
She forced a bitter smile, "You two are meant to be. I wish you happiness."
Her calmness surprised Anthony, who looked up at her.
Arabella nodded at him, "Goodbye."
Just as she was about to turn away, Anthony suddenly spoke, "You didn't ask for the house or the car. What are you going to do now?"
Arabella paused.
Anthony pulled out a check, "Take this. Consider it compensation for the past two years."
His expression was complicated, "Take care of yourself. If you ever need help and it's not too much trouble, you can call me."
Arabella looked at his hand, the same hand that had once held hers, long and slender.
But the wedding ring he had worn for two years was gone.
She pushed his hand away, "No need."
Cassidy, looking pained, said, "Arabella, please take it. It'll make me feel better."
Arabella shook her head, "Really, it's not necessary."
Anthony's hand hung in the air as he watched her walk away, feeling strangely unsettled.
Cassidy, guilt-ridden, asked, "Anthony, do you think Arabella will blame us?"
Anthony ruffled her hair, "She won't."
Cassidy's eyes reddened, her voice sad but firm, "Even if she does, I'll accept it. For you, I'm willing to face the world."
Anthony, moved, pulled her into his arms, "Silly girl."
There's no room for a third person in a relationship. Arabella, with her back to them, finally allowed herself to cry.
Love doesn't follow a timeline, but if she had known Anthony's heart belonged to someone else, she never would have entered this marriage.
He was the one who said he loved her, who proposed, who promised to give her a home and protect her forever.
Turns out, love can fade and even be a lie.
Arabella stopped by a pillar, wiped away her tears, and made a call.
"Hey, are you here? I'm by the entrance, wearing a red sweater."
A few minutes later, a tall man approached her, silhouetted against the light.
"Ms. Bourbon."
"Mr. FitzRoy?"
Arabella was taken aback.
The bar had been dimly lit last night, and she hadn't gotten a good look at him.
Now she saw how strikingly handsome he was.
Dressed in a black shirt and pants, with sharp, clean-cut features and deep, mysterious eyes, he exuded an air of restraint and control.
After a moment of distraction, Arabella regained her composure and politely asked, "Is now a good time?"
Her eyes and nose were still red, and her voice was hoarse. Alexander FitzRoy studied her for a few seconds before nodding, "It is."
Arabella said, "Let's go."
As they were leaving, Anthony and Cassidy emerged from the courthouse and saw them.
Cassidy gasped and covered her mouth, "Arabella, is this your new boyfriend?"
Arabella hesitated.
Anthony's gaze swept over Alexander, his face darkening as he frowned at Arabella, "What are you up to now? We're over. I suggest you handle this with dignity. I don't want things to get ugly."
He didn't believe Arabella could find a new boyfriend so quickly, especially since she had been tearfully asking him just a week ago why they couldn't go back to the way things were.

“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.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
Crowned by Fate
“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.

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.

“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!*

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