Chapter 1
심악은 두 종류의 남자를 특히 경멸했다. 하나는 돈이 있어도 쓰지 않고 모아만 두는 남자, 다른 하나는 여자를 때리는 남자였다.
첫 번째 유형을 만나면, 그는 그 사람을 바보라고 비웃었다.
두 번째 유형을 만나면, 그의 손이 근질거렸다.
지금, 그의 손이 근질거리기 시작했다.
앞쪽 가로등 아래에서 한 남자가 여자를 때리고 있었다. "이 망할 년, 네가 뭔데? 그렇게 많은 사람들 앞에서 내 체면을 구기게 해!"
남자의 주먹질과 발길질에 여자는 바닥에 웅크린 채 울기만 할 뿐, 전혀 저항하지 않았다.
남자가 신나게 발길질을 하고 있을 때, 갑자기 뒤에서 누군가 소리쳤다. "야, 그만해!"
그 호통 소리에 남자는 즉시 뒤돌아보았고, 누군지도 제대로 보지 못한 채 욕설을 내뱉었다. "씨발, 어디 바지 지퍼 안 잠그고 나온 놈이야? 꺼져."
여자를 때리는 것도 못마땅한데, 이제는 심악을 누구네 바지 속에서 나왔다고 욕하다니, 이게 죽고 싶은 것과 무슨 차이가 있을까?
물론, 심악은 법을 준수하는 선량한 시민이었기에 이런 작은 일로 사람을 죽이지는 않을 것이다. 다만 그의 팔을 붙잡아 옆으로 내던질 뿐이었다.
쿵 하는 둔탁한 소리와 함께 남자는 바닥에 세게 내동댕이쳐졌다.
그가 일어나기도 전에 심악은 달려가 발을 들어 사정없이 걷어찼다.
겉보기에 덩치가 크고 강해 보이는 남자였지만, 심악의 발길질 앞에서는 전혀 대항할 힘이 없었다. 곧 그는 비명을 지르며 애원했다. "그만, 그만 때려요. 살려주세요, 제발 살려주세요."
"앞으로 다시 여자를 때리면, 내가 너를 볼 때마다 한 번씩 때릴 거야."
충분하다고 느낀 심악은 몸을 숙여 그의 셔츠 깃을 움켜쥐고 바닥에서 끌어올렸다. "꺼져."
"네, 네, 당장 사라질게요, 당장요."
남자는 기어가듯 차에 올라타 순식간에 사라졌다.
차의 후미등이 멀리서 사라진 후에야 심악은 이상한 점을 깨달았다.
이 여자는 어떻게 해야 하지?
뒷머리를 긁적이며 심악은 쪼그려 앉아 걱정스럽게 물었다. "괜찮으세요?"
아직도 바닥에 웅크리고 있던 여자는 그를 쳐다보지도 못하고, 몸을 더 심하게 떨며 울기만 했다.
"겁내지 마세요, 저는 나쁜 사람이 아니에요."
심악이 그녀를 안심시키며 다시 물었다. "방금 그 남자는 당신과 무슨 관계인가요?"
아마도 '나쁜 사람이 아니다'라는 말이 효과가 있었는지, 여자는 울음을 멈추고 살짝 고개를 들어 떨리는 목소리로 말했다. "그, 그 사람은 제 남편이에요."
아, 가정폭력이었구나.
심악은 약간 울적해졌다.
남의 가정사에 끼어드는 것은 정말 힘만 들고 고마움도 못 받는 바보 같은 행동이었다.
하지만 이미 개입한 이상, 심악은 끝까지 책임지는 것 외에 다른 방법이 없었다. "일어나세요, 집에 데려다 드릴게요. 걱정 마세요, 남편분께 생생한 사상교육을 시켜드릴게요. 앞으로는 절대 당신을 때리지 못하게 할 거예요."
"아니요, 저는 돌아가지 않을 거예요. 죽어도 그 집에는 다시 돌아가지 않을 거예요."
여자는 계속 고개를 저으며 양손으로 얼굴을 가리고 더 크게 울기 시작했다.
"돌아가지 않으시겠다고요? 그럼 밖에서 밤을 새실 건가요?"
심악은 약간 당황했다가 무언가 생각났다는 듯이 말했다. "아, 맞다. 돈 있으세요?"
여자의 울음소리가 즉시 멈췄다.
그녀가 오해했다는 것을 알고, 심악은 서둘러 설명했다. "돈이 있는지 물어본 건 호텔에 묵으시라고 하려던 거예요."
하지만 여자는 휴대폰과 지갑이 모두 차 안에 있어서 지금은 무일푼이라고 했다.
"아이고, 저도 무일푼이에요."
거짓말하면 벼락 맞는다는 심악은 정말 난처해졌다. "그럼, 어떻게 하고 싶으세요?"
여자는 대답하지 않고 다시 울기 시작했다.
울음소리에 심악은 매우 짜증이 났다.
가고 싶은 마음은 있었지만, 그녀의 안전이 걱정되었다.
이미 깊은 밤이었고, 그녀가 정말로 극단적인 선택을 하거나 나쁜 사람을 만나게 된다면, 그것은 심악의 죄가 될 것이다.
미간을 찌푸리며 심악은 조심스럽게 제안했다. "이렇게 하면 어떨까요? 일단 오늘 밤만 제 집에서 지내시는 건요?"
여자가 대답하기도 전에 그는 다시 설명했다. "걱정 마세요, 저는 나쁜 사람이 아니에요. 절대로 나쁜 마음을 품지 않을 거예요."

“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.

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

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."

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.”

“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.

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.
