Introduction
하지만 스물여섯 살의 영혼이 다른 열일곱 살 소녀의 몸에 들어갔을 때, 모든 것이 윈샹이 상상했던 것과 달랐다.
미래의 보스님 모싱쩌가 강제로 그녀의 현재 집에 들어와 살게 된 것이다.
그렇게 아수라장 같은 동거 생활이 시작되었다.
일 년 후.
예상치 못한 교통사고로 윈샹은 다시 스물여섯 살로 돌아가게 되었다.
그녀는 이 모든 것이 한바탕 꿈이었다고만 생각했다. 꿈에서 깨어나면 예전으로 돌아갈 거라고.
하지만 그녀가 다시 모싱쩌 앞에 나타났을 때.
모든 것이 달라졌다.
그녀에게는 단 일 년의 시간이었지만, 모싱쩌에게는 아홉 해 동안 집착해온 사람이었다.
그가 어떻게 그녀를 자신의 세계에서 다시 도망치게 놔둘 수 있겠는가.
모싱쩌는 떠나려는 그녀의 손목을 붙잡고 이를 악물며 말했다. "윈샹, 내가 너를 아홉 년이나 기다렸는데, 네가 아홉 분만 기다리는 게 그렇게 어려워?"
윈샹은 눈물을 흘리며 말했다. "당신이 나를 원하지 않는 줄 알았어요."
모싱쩌는 화가 치밀었다. 그는 온갖 수단을 다 동원했던 것이다. 단지 그녀를 자신 곁에 평생 붙잡아 두고 싶었을 뿐인데.

Chapter 1
B시의 한 사무용 빌딩, 옥상.
도시의 네온 불빛을 바라보며, 한 여자가 옥상 난간에 걸터앉아 있었다. 한쪽 다리는 공중에 매달려 있어 매우 위험해 보였다. 그녀 앞에는 여섯 일곱 개의 맥주캔이 놓여 있었고, 몇 개는 이미 비워진 상태였다.
"흐흐."
바람이 그녀의 머리카락을 흩날릴 때, 쓸쓸한 웃음소리가 작게 흘러나왔다.
난간 위에 놓인 휴대폰에서는 계속해서 알림음이 울려 퍼졌다. 카카오톡에서 끊임없이 오는 메시지를 보며, 그녀는 쓰라린 마음뿐이었다.
다른 사람들에게는 축하할 일이겠지만, 하필 그녀에게는 정말 씁쓸한 아이러니였다.
오늘 밤에도 그녀는 야근 중이었는데, 카카오톡 메시지가 계속해서 울려댔다.
문득 궁금해진 그녀는 메시지를 열어보았다.
메시지를 보낸 곳은 대학 동기들과 함께 있는 단체 채팅방이었다. 많은 사람들이 떠들고 있었고, 몇몇은 사진과 영상을 올리고 있었다.
분홍빛 결혼식 장식을 보며 그녀는 기분 좋게 눈썹을 치켜올리며 영상을 재생했다. 대학 동기 중 누가 결혼하는 걸까 하는 생각으로.
분홍색 백합 꽃 아래, 양복을 입은 남자가 앙증맞은 여자를 안고 미소 짓고 있었다. 여자는 부끄러운 듯 계속해서 얼굴을 남자의 가슴에 묻고 있었다. 영상에서는 여러 사람들의 장난스러운 목소리가 들려왔고, 그 중에는 그녀가 알아듣는 몇몇 지인의 목소리도 있었다.
금테 안경을 쓴 남자는 매우 온화하게 웃고 있었고, 입꼬리가 살짝 올라가 있어 그의 기분이 좋다는 것을 쉽게 알 수 있었다.
하지만 양복 입은 남자의 얼굴을 보는 순간, 윤상은 거의 휴대폰을 놓칠 뻔했다.
7년간의 연애 동안, 그녀는 눈을 감고도 그의 눈썹과 눈을 그릴 수 있을 정도였는데, 이 사람이 결혼한다니.
일주일 전, 그가 왜 그렇게 단호하게 헤어지자고 했는지 이제야 알게 되었다.
남자란, 한번 변심하면 정말 누구보다도 빨리 빠져나가는 존재였다.
윤상은 맥주캔을 들어 또 단숨에 비웠다. 눈 끝으로 맞은편 광장의 대형 스크린을 보니, 거기서는 성대한 시상식이 생중계되고 있었다. MY그룹의 회장이 신비로운 여성과 함께 참석하고 있었다.
누구나 알다시피 MY그룹의 회장 묵성택은 전형적인 고부남(고급스럽고 부유하고 잘생긴 남자)이었다. 그의 기업은 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 있었고, 젊은 나이에 자산이 수천억을 넘었다.
윤상이 다니는 의류회사도 MY그룹 산하의 자회사 중 하나였다.
많은 사람들이 묵성택을 판타지의 대상으로 삼았지만, 정작 본인은 여자를 가까이 하지 않는 사람이었다.
일부 언론에서는 묵성택이 혹시 성향이 다른 것이 아닌가 하는 암시적인 보도를 한 적도 있었다.
당사자는 한 번도 해명한 적이 없었다.
그런데 이번에 여자를 동반한다니, 순식간에 모든 조명이 묵성택과 그의 옆에 있는 여성에게 집중되었다. 기자들은 묵성택 옆의 여성이 미래 MY그룹의 여주인이 될 것인지 추궁하고 있었다.
윤상은 맥주캔을 들어 스크린 방향을 향해 취기 오른 목소리로 외쳤다. "축하해요, 하나같이 내 상처에 소금을 뿌리네. 여자친구 있다고 대단한가, 솔로 만세다."
말하는 순간, 전화가 갑자기 울렸다.
"여보세요?" 그녀가 막 대답하자, 전화 너머로 전소야의 화가 난 목소리가 들려왔다. "윤상아, 어디야?"
"아, 회사에 있어."
"또 야근하는 거 아니지? 빨리 이리 와, 나 포시즌 호텔에 있어." 전소야의 어조는 불편했고, 눈은 앞에 있는 신랑 신부를 노려보고 있었다. "누구 봤게?"
"하준철." 윤상은 매우 담담하게 말했다.
전소야는 전화를 든 손을 멈추고 조심스럽게 물었다. "알고 있었어?"
"응." 윤상은 가볍게 대답했다. 그 뒤에 무슨 말을 했는지는 기억나지 않았고, 정신을 차려보니 손에 있던 휴대폰이 어디로 갔는지 모르겠다.
마지막 맥주캔까지 다 마시자, 맞은편의 생중계도 끝났다.
역시, 곡이 끝나면 사람도 흩어지는 법.
그녀는 몸을 흔들며 난간에서 내려왔다. 아무리 마음이 아파도 생계를 위해 뛰어야 했다. 그녀의 일은 아직 끝나지 않았고, 오늘 밤도 역시 밤을 새울 것이 분명했다.
발이 바닥에 닿자마자, 맥주캔을 밟아 중심을 잃고 시멘트 바닥에 곧장 쓰러졌다. 머리가 바닥에 세게 부딪히며 의식을 완전히 잃어가는 순간, 윤상은 생각했다. 처음부터 하준철을 만나지 않았더라면 얼마나 좋았을까. 적어도 지금 이렇게 가슴이 아프지는 않았을 텐데.

“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.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.

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.

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.

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"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.
